All except 1 staff is masked at Burnside Medical Office, lower level office with bad air ventilation. There are 5 other patients in waiting area & only one is masked(blue surgical mask). Mom & I are only ones here wearing N95s. We have opted to sit closer to entry/exit & around the corner from the unmasked open mouth breathers.

@MatWright @hannu_ikonen @COVID19_DISEASE im so sorry, my condolences to you. #firebonniehenry

I'm back on yet another wait list for a different orthopedic surgeon because the one I was referred to is an unkind, unhelpful jerk. His RateMDs reviews are filled with multiple complaints from patients who were also treated in similar unhelpful ways. I'm pretty frustrated. I've been on 3 different wait lists for years prior. I still have no medical help with my elbow bursitis which causes me to lose sleep because the pain often wakes me up in middle of the night. I don't have a family doctor(on wait list for that too) to help me with my multiple health/medical needs.

I've called 4 different medical clinics since 9am - Tillicum medical is where Mom usually goes & they didn't pickup phone Friday either. I called 6 times at different hours on Friday. It's been over an hour & no one has picked up the phones there. I finally got through to one clinic a few minutes ago & it's not too far. It's the Burnside Medical Clinic & I have a telephone appointment this afternoon to get medication for Mom's gout. She is still unable to walk due to severe pain & inflammation. I had to push hard to get that appointment after being told they have no appointment spots left for today. The MOA was compassionate & understood my desperate pleas to get essential medication for my Mom.
