Arrested for trespass. Hope the Dr goes out of business over the publicity.

Good for you Ranye. If we all had the courage to stand firm against these tyrants we will get our liberty back.

I am changing my eye doctor because she has developed (what I consider to be) a fetish for masks and I refuse to cooperate any longer - she even wears nitrile gloves the whole time. It’s irrational and creepy. A shame, she is a top notch optometrist, been seeing her for 15 years, but I have simply had it. I called around and found one that does not require a mask.

My family doctor is cool and hasn’t fallen for any of this. But most medical offices and our local hospitals are still drinking the Kool Aid. It’s a very sick form of blackmail IMO.

You don’t even get to see a real doctor these days. Local health care providers offer a revolving door of PAs who appear to distinctly unable to deliver or even recommend appropriate care. They’re basically Big Pharma whores.

My 83 year old mother is in frail health, has emphysema, has been treated for cancer twice, and has a whole host of other maladies that require attention. She has not been to a doctor in 2 years, and will not under any circumstances as long as she is forced to wear a mask because she can’t breath. She had zero issues going out in public throughout the entire hoaxdemic when she could go maskless. I can’t force her to go, but there are an astounding quantity of quality of life things she could take care of with doctor visits. So I hate these demokarens with a passion as every single health care related thing in Nevada including optical and dental still require face diapers

That was a terrible experience for her, but over the phone, she should have made certain if she would be allowed to see a doctor when not wearing a Mask. Never assume you’re going to keep on getting special treatment. Some doctor offices are still quite afraid of the virus and believe in those worthless Masks.

If she now has the condition of Spinal Stenosis, she needs a neurologist right now. That kind of nerve pain can be severe and disabling.

Part of me: yes the face mask stuff at doctor’s offices is stupid.

Another part of me: if i needed to see a cardiologist regularly, and the stupid rules were still in place, I would find a way to see them, not insist that they find a way to see me. The medical practices don’t need her business as much as she needs their services. I get that she’s got a lot of issues with covering her face, but she is wearing glasses in the article photo so she has somehow adjusted to things touching her head. Wear a face shield (they have eyeglass frame attachable ones) and get on with life.

Maybe I’m missing something. What so courageous about making your own rules in someone else’s place of business?

Her back is compromised due to spinal stenosis, and with her hands still cuffed behind her back, she was unable to pull herself up.

“They pulled over off the road to lift me upright in the back of the cruiser,” she said.

They managed to cuff her without 376 law enforcement officers for support?

I’m an eye doc and the owner of the practice where I work requires masks.

When I get my patient in the examining room, I ask them do you wear your mask when you are in the grocery store? If they say “No”, I tell them then you don’t have to wear it here.

Masks come off in milliseconds!

I believe it was counterproductive how far she took it, but standing up to an unhealthy demand at a doctor’s office or elsewhere does make sense when too many people are accepting the demands of our overlords without any pushback. Resisting such mandates can help others to see that they are not popular or right.

She's pushing back against the overlords plus she doesn't have to worry about copays. Win/win for her.

She probably has a big lawsuit she could file over that wheelchair falling over with her in it.
