My views on humanity fell off a cliff in 2016. I've always been pretty cynical but that was rock bottom. Imagine my surprise that there was another cliff to fall off of in 2020. And the worst that happened to me was getting called "genocidal" because I don't believe "why not, maybe it works" is scientific enough to justify giving everyone ivermectin.

It is completely despicable to attack a healthcare professional because they don't agree with the conspiracy theory of the day. Let alone a family member. I'm sorry they decided to do that to you.

All this because a lone dimwit didn't want cloth masks to muss his makeup.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I have a pretty high tolerance for disrespect (either from patients or other specialties) since I work in Emergency Medicine, but COVID was just off the charts.
