After much back and forth calling, I was finally able to get an appointment. I get there early because it's been three years, there's going to be insurance and paperwork and stuff to take care of. Door is locked, and you can't get in. So I pound on the door, some little shit comes to answer it and asks me what I want. I'm here for my appointment.

Do you have phone with you? No, you don't have a number from me and I don't take incoming calls from anyone. Took her a minute to process that then she said "You have to wait in your car and we'll wave you in when we're ready." Ok, my car is on the other side of the building. So I wander around the lot for a minute and say fuck it, I have better things to do with my time and left.

If you're going to be afraid of a cold, then go right ahead. I'm done with that shit and I'm sure there are others who will take my money. Looks like I have to find someone new, these glasses are going on 5 and it's starting to get to the point where they're useless.

I thought birds were known for their excellent vision. But yes. My wife recently walked out of OB appointments because they were hardline about masks. She told them she ans baby needed oxygen more than she needed them to tell her she was doing just fine.

I don't think this place is doing the gotta wear the diaper thing, but if they want to be scared, they can do it on their time.

Ugh, went inside the Gp's clinic yesterday for an ECG, first time inside in over 2 yrs because they refused to allow me inside, had to use a one room prefab in the carpark until i thought fck this and had been doing phone consults ever since, bc i'm unvaccinated and according to the Dr the vaccinated may feel uncomfortable being in the same room with an unvaxx and it's about lowering the risk for the vulnerable anyways the ECG machine was inside so they let me come in for it. Derp. Complete clown world. While one nurse was doing the ecg, the other nurse was on the phone requesting an urgent Hospital appointment for an xray/ scan whatever for a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) Clot. Haha ... idiots.

Doesn't it really increase your trust in all these 'medical professionals' who have all these absurd and literally retarded rules for a common cold that was over with last year? Amazing what petty tyrants these people are, isn't it? Maybe you should email that office and tell them to do a Tik Tok dance video.

This was COVID-19 theater?

STILL?

Nah, go somewhere else.

[–] • 1 pt

Yep, still theater. Even had the masked karen walking in as I drove away.

[–] • 2 pts

I have to make an appointment myself and I'll do exactly the same thing as you. My Dentist doesn't need one, chiropractor doesn't need masks yet I still can't get blood tests because I refuse the mask.

[–] • 4 pts

I doubt I'll ever be able to go to a medical doctor again.

You may live longer as a result...

Ironically wouldnt having a mask on during blood work give off false readings since the hypoxic drive would pretty much mess up all the blood processes in the first place?

[–] • 2 pts

Same here. No more monthly thyroid checks. I know my body really well at this point and can adjust my meds without the bloodwork to confirm it. I'm just glad I did all the testing before the pandemic to get a handle on it. Bummer, though. I experiment on myself a lot and it was nice to get actual number confirmations that my antibodies were going down.

Why is a robotic bird drone going to the optometrist? Shouldn't you be going back to the manufacturer to get your cameras recalibrated instead?

Anyway, yeah this bullshit is off the charts now. It would be interesting to follow that dumb bitch when she gets off work and goes about her day walking into stores, restaurants and nail salons without having to call them and wait in her car. But I'm sure she's just fine with the double standard she helps enforce.

[–] • 2 pts

maybe...maybe....just maybe...I'm not really a bird drone. maybe.

I don't have enough time to stalk people that are a no-value target.

[–] • 2 pts

Good to know I am no longer a target for bird drone surveillance. I can proceed with my plans undetected.

[–] • 2 pts

I said I don't. There are others assigned to monitor citizens. Don't worry, we see you.

[–] • 1 pt

There are still people wearing masks?

[–] • 2 pts

Yep, quite a few. I see plenty here all the time.

Haven't you heard yet? Fuck Joe Biden has told Americans to lower our expectations. (foxnews.com)

The only question remaining is, just how low?

Seriously, go to Costco or BJs. I've had pretty good luck there.

I lowered the bar to 0 and they still missed it.

It is easy and abrupt to educate them. Show them the Warning on the side of every box of masks that says outright (because they legally have to) that the masks do NOT stop a virus. If they do not SEE the facts, you do not want to be around them.

[–] • 1 pt

100% of the people I tried to show that to just looked at it without comprehension. I gave up, they can suffer if they like.

[–] • 1 pt

If they ask i will explain it, if they ignore it they are lost. The real point is, NO ONE In Medicine is That stupid so they DO know and are not really 'in medicine'. I ask them what 'other' warnings on products do you ignore and dismiss?

[–] • 2 pts

I never had anyone ask me to explain. I simply looked at them and said "This says not for medical use, does not prevent the transmission of covid-19."

The gears locked, and that was that.

Sounds like you tried to go to SVS vision.

[–] • 0 pt

It's a local place I've been going to for almost 20 years now, but it seems to be running 50/50 here on who wants a diaper and who doesn't.

[–] • 1 pt

Ah, well it sounds like they copied off of the "best practices" of one of the large chain brands. Makes getting glasses feel like visiting the trap house.

[–] • 1 pt

I need to find some other place. It's not going to be long before these glasses become useless.

Sounds like a CIA operation using an eyecare as cover.
