dude shoulda just stayed outside
Flipping out in an medical office is a very fucked up to do

In offices in this state I think only the patient goes in, nobody else unless it is a parent and their younger kid
Not sure if that is Board required stuff or just what they decided to do.
Completely uncalled for to flip off the receptionist, at least flip off @Splinty so he can beat you up, and kick you out.

Same with us. If you're an adult, a mask is required and no one is allowed to come in with you.

Yeah, here it's just the patient. Early on here pregnant women weren't allowed to have anyone with them while they delivered their kids.

We are allowing one person with them.
Everybody masked.
Notices on the front door.
Masks available to purchase at cost if you didn't bring one and still want to go back.

They use phones and the parking lot to let people know when they are ready
then questions and temp check and mask

Then mask comes off for dentistry work, other medical probably leaves it on depending on patients condition and if they can breath with one on or not...lotta face shields also...these people are gonna get strong or sore necks after awhile.

That seems overkill. We have continued to allow one person. But not in the OR.
It's also a locked unit with one entry and one exit.
minimize all traffic. No coming and going. Come in as a couple deliver baby. Leave as a family unit. Trays brought for both etc.

I have started many a fight between husband and mom on who gets to be the VIP

Ok that's a little weird.

Teen first time mom usually. Mom vs 18 year old dad situation.

Admittedly I can only think of two of them where it was actually 'mom v hubbie' thing and I'm using the word husband loosely... Significant other in some cases. But several scenarios have existed where pregnant mama has made a joke about having to have "the talk" with her mom that she won't be there because she chose hubbie. So the choice is still being made with some contention.

When my girlfriend and I fight it’s usually about why she is so mean to me. Then She says bad things about my body.

One of my friends recently told me that she was teaching her children acceptance of their bodies and body positivity.

I explained that I can no longer join them at the beach for fear of ruining her positive message with my body full of shame and loathing.

What's not at cost amount to in the lone star state? Aren't medical prices ridiculous in the states if you aren't (even if you are) covered?

Medical pricing is a long and laborious topic.
Something simple like a mask is no more expensive out of my medical office than it would be at a gas station. They're easy to buy and easy to sell. There is no significant overhead in charge capture. Hand me a dollar and I hand you a mask.

This is very different to submitting a claim to an insurance company. This is quite the process and with it eats up 40% of the charge right off the bat. I charge $100 and $40 of it goes away just trying to get paid The other 60.
The issue is that despite the reality that out-of-pocket cost could be much lower for most day-to-day items cash, it stops people from going to the doctor and adds up cost on the back end. think of it like not doing oil changes and then being surprised that a much more expensive item occurs.
Some of the population can definitely do the math and afford and have the health that this model is the very best one for both doctor and patient.
But intrinsically modern medicine is very expensive when you get actually sick No matter where you are.

Never considered the aspect of keeping Karen's, for lack of a better term, out of the office. I'm the first to admit that far too many people put unnecessary strain on our healthcare services by going in for every, single little ailment.
