I hate to say it, but hospital staff where I live are majority anti-mask. Like, they gave me shit for wearing a mask in the hospital when my spouse was staying there
My experience has been the same. They seem confused that I still wear a mask. I have autoimmune diseases. I take immunosuppressants. Pretty much all of their patients are exactly like me. Absurd.
It's unbelievable. Do you happen to live in a place known for its big medical community and its reactionary politics? I do, and it's started to seem like my town is where doctors go when they have a medical degree but also insist the world is 6000 years old
Our OBGYN had a large, framed print of Jesus Guiding the Surgeon in their subwait area. Our GP decorates the halls of his practice with labeled photos from his Baptist mission trips to Africa. Our biggest ER had Jerry fucking Falwell preaching on the TVs of the main waiting room. None of this inspires confidence
i'd rather do untrained brain surgery on myself
I wonder how seriously you gonna take medical school when you know you can just pray and do some rosaries before a c section and jesus will guide you hand. And if he doesn't it was just god's will you are only the instrument.
I have never seen any medical practice displaying imagery like you describe. There is one local specialist who is known to pray over patients if you consent to it. (They don't do anything life/death.) I never been to their office so can't speak to the decor there.
