The first thing you do is to ask me for my driver’s license or any legal form of identification as if I would lie and give you the wrong information! Can’t you see I'm coughing up a storm, my face is swollen my eyes red and watery, and you offer me a mask! I wouldn’t give you ‘cooties’ you have people who are sicker than I am, how about the gentleman in the corner vomiting. I don’t see him with a mask, and why is the nurse behind a glass wall! Sick as I am, I’m done. I have an emergency and this, the kind of response I get from the waiting room.
