You been asleep for the past several months? It's pretty common knowledge that the main reason doctors wear masks is to prevent their fluids from contaminating the open wounds all over their patients.You're the one that's asleep.
The original poster I responded to said face masks are to protect the wearer...I sarcastically disagreed and to make my point, asked if that was why doctors wear them?
They usually take them off in recovery to talk to you and loved ones...Does that sound like a doctor wears a mask for HIS/HER protection only?
BTW, the original poster didn't answer my question, because s/he couldn't.
Ah, my bad. I didn’t read your post as sarcastic.
