Not only are doctors and nurses getting muzzled and fired for commenting on inadequate supplies, but many hospitals and clinics are refusing to allow their doctors and nurses to bring their own masks. Doctors and nurses are fighting hospital administration on this.
I understand why you wouldn’t want that happening in normal times, but to hold firm on that policy now seems like utter madness.

- swampthing 7y agoYou can imagine a doctor or nurse bringing in sub-standard equipment that then causes an issue for a patient.
- xbmcuser 7y agoYes but they are not being provided with adequate equipment the choices for doctors and nurses is quit treating patients or take a chance get infected and die or bring their own equipment to protect themselves.
