I wrote earlier, but a lot has happened since 12/24/24 when my husband with kidney transplant 6 yrs ago had 3rd urinary tract infection *UTI in 30 days. Our holidays were him in dire pain and had rehearsed this same situation twice and knew not to go into emerg room on 12/24 or 12/25 due to insanity of ER in any hosp. He lets his local nephrologist know the 3rd UTI is back on 12/26 and at noon we are sitting in a room for 7 hrs in the ER 25 min from our house waiting for an inpatient room. While in ER a group of doctors including his nephrol discussed best different antibiotic to take by IV (reason for inpatient status 5 days). So a drug was chosen and he was put on it as we sat and sat waiting for a room to vacate in hospital . Our last time in an ER was 2/2019 and avoided such places like the plague especially with COVID-19. Around 710pm a room was located and he was taken and settled in. I left 90 min later. THe following problems revealed when we arrived in the ER at noon 12/26 and we told every medical caregiver over and over "he is a kidney transplant recipient and has serious immunocompromised health issues and no immunity from COVID-19 and more. We wore our kn95 masks not taking them off all day except a sip of water. Over and over people working there nurses,doctors, lab techs came to care for him without a mask on! It was like a Twilight zone episode of employees in a hosp not wearing a mask to respect my spouse' immunocompromised health. We had never had COVID-19 or any type of sickness in over 6 yrs. I called the night nurse and explained in detail who my spouse was,his journey of getting the kidney transplant and problems and he has immunocompromised issues now and we lived isolated 'still' like lockdown March 2020. I started to cry on the phone I was so upset about people not giving a damn to wear a mask caring for him. The next day 12/27 I went into his room and a sign on closed door "Per Patient request: wear a mask to enter". He was there for one reason, get 5 doses in 5 days of this Iv antibiotic for a UTI that had stubborn bacteria to kill. He was discharged 12/30 last Monday 10am and that night 7pm he had cold symptoms and 12/31: "I" had cold symptoms and Jan 4 we both tested positive covid19 at home. I chose to get on Paxlovid through our family Dr on that date and a good friend brought it to my home. I have NO trust in the medical hospital caregivers who did not have the respect to put on a mask for my spouse . WE have been doing so much to protect his health for 6 yrs and came home like no one cares. When I feel better, I plan to write a severe letter to the CEO and other administrative offices about how they "let us down in a way that is so disrespectful of immunocompromised people ". WE have not shared a holiday with friends or taken a vacation or anything "normal' in 6 yrs. We left there with COVID-19 as their Christmas gifts . I feel so angry and pissed off about this . Is anyone else seeing a trend of employees not wearing masks when it is the right thing to do for the patient care?
