Somebody in my neighborhood Facebook group posted that they had a spare, unused N95 mask, and asked if there were any healthcare providers who’d like it. The responses made me really sad (cont)

Same here. My wife is a nurse and she has patients who are suspected but not confirmed. The hospital does not have enough N95, so its reserved for nurses and doctors who have comfirmed positive cases. We live with our elderly mom and I have pre existing conditions. I have found one person in craigslist but he is asking for $50 each. I am going to meet him tomorrow so that wife can wear it at work.

My brother-in-law is an infectious disease doc, and my sister just added us into their will. They’re talking in real terms about who would care for their daughter if something were to happen. As another friend (ER doc) put it, their ‘preparations’ are like bringing a toothpick to a gun fight.

I’m sorry you are in this position, but it is important to arrange for your family, worst case scenario. I know we all don’t want to thinking about that. If you need an attorney to address the will please DM me - there are several that can help that do not take joy in taking your money for this type of service.

Like “Please, I’d like it, I’m a family doctor and I’m 6 months pregnant but they’re diverting n95 masks to high risk clinics, so they’re having us wear surgical masks.” There were a bunch of responses like that, and it made me depressed about our lack of resources and preparedness. Doctors and nurses everywhere are putting their lives on the line. 😞

Frankly someone like this may get better use out of it than a ER. Apparently a lot of this stuff is getting tossed after a use or two, whereas if someone only has one I feel like they would spend the time to sanitize and reuse. They also don’t really have the avenue to get any masks at all like the hospitals do

Maybe we should try to sew some medical grade masks that can be washed/sanitized and re-used. I wonder what the protocols are on that...

I had to negotiate with my MIL who is not in healthcare but thought buying 40 n95’s was a good idea to send just 1 to my kid brother who is a third year med student and has clinicals at 6-8 hospitals in his region.. Truly sad 😞

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company.

I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?
