Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 This is so funny I had and appointment for a gastro doctor for 3 pm today I'm having problems so I called to let them know I have to ware a mask. the doctor told me I couldn't come into his office with a mask and said I have to go some place else because he didn't want anyone wearing a mask in his office. Doctor Rodolfo Chirinos 954-587-0257 I was going to go anyway but they gave me such a hard time I just can't see a Doctor like that. I told them fragrances are harmful to me because of MCS illness from mold he said no I can't come to his office and it had no mold? what a shame they make us ill and make us feel that we are the blame I just don't get it next time I find a doctor I want say a thing I told him so he can get me in and out ASAP. from now on I will just ware my T-shirt with the website on it which explain every thing no more warnings.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh Gosh Elvira! That is horrible! I have never heard of a doctor telling a person they can't wear a mask!! I would not go to him because he can't be a good doctor if he would not allow you to wear a mask. You deserve better than that dumb doctor!! On thing this brings to mind, if I get sick on weekends, there is a walk in clinic I go to. They have a basket full of mask and a big sign begging people to take one and wear it!! I have not yet seen one person wear those masks! From my understanding, if one is really ill like throwing up really bad, they insist one wears the mask. > > This is so funny I had and appointment for a gastro doctor for 3 pm today > I'm having problems so I called to let them know I have to ware a mask. the > doctor told me I couldn't come into his office with a mask and said I have > to go some place else because he didn't want anyone wearing a mask in his > office.
