Also I think I have COVID again. A patient came in this week who didn’t test despite having been on Paxlovid when they tested negative a few days ago. This is EXACTLY when a rebound would happen. And it’s okay for them to come in per our clinic rules. I sent them a message to ask them to test that morning as a favor to me. They did not. They coughed in my face. They resented wearing the mask. They brought me food from their farm that I couldn’t bring myself to eat so I took it with a smile and then threw it away because they’d been COUGHING ON IT while we talked. And now I have a splitting, sick headache that is not my usual migraine and I felt chilled and I’m just waiting for the skin burning to start to test. Except I ALSO got exposed to fucking WHOOPING COUGH that’s going around a local church, because they didn’t publicize it and so my patient didn’t even know they’d been exposed until TODAY. I hate it here.

fingers crossed i wake up and not feel like shit tomorrow morning because i am currently feeling like i'm getting sick and tomorrow is not only the last day on the job for the term but also a very busy day for my office and i would feel really bad if i had to force my three poor coworkers to pick up the slack for me if i'm too ill to leave the house :(

I think I’ve caught a sinus infection and it is hitting my lungs hard.
I do not want to have to go back to the ER… I don’t think they’ll let me out without sticking my ass in an actual hospital room for a few days this time.
