I tried to make an appointment with a rheumatologist and spoke to someone named Shirley. I didn t have a Dr s referral so I was trying to figure out the logistics.

I explained I was trying to find out if I was at risk during covid-19 times as I ve been feeling pain for months now.

Shirley then responded with everyone should act like they re at risk.

Thank you Shirley. As much as I appreciated the lecture, I understand the difference between wearing a mask out of civil duty vs actually being at risk and screwed for life.

I hope you greet others (who are probably calling out of distress like me) with more empathy.
