       Re: Good News: Masked Woman did not pass away today!
       By: Masked Man Date: December 23, 2025, 7:55 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Captain Masked Man's Log entry Round 5 or 6 of chronicles of
       Masked Woman's Gall Bladder Surgery process... Just my little
       journal entry of Masked Woman's medical treatment process and
       how I'm holding up from the process...
       Alright!, Masked Man just got back from taking Masked Woman'o
       pre surgery ultra sound visit at local hospital (two days before
       Christmas; a time where the season of giving often comes in the
       form of a flu)...
       I feel pretty safe from that trip For a guy like me that masks
       and takes precautions and  doesn't belittle what we can't see
       such as germs and is going for the world record of not catching
       a cold or any airborne illness from anywhere in 6 years
       straight. I simply never take for granted my relatively decent
       health and I never underestimate the hell, torment, damage, and
       even death airborne illness can cause. I am masker and a rebel
       or sorts and I challenge the popular belief and notion held
       currently by the maskless masses that airborne illnesses and
       airborne diseases are something I have to take chances on,
       tolerate, or live with.
       Of course we were masked and I have a little bottle of rubbing
       alcohol I squirt from time to time.
       I was nervous of course because its two days before Christmas
       and I expected to see a lot of sick people and I was anxious
       about getting exposed to sick people and having encounters in
       close quarters with ill people. It was early morning and not
       many people!
       The receptionist was  in a very small cubicle room that admitted
       us actually had a mask on..I tell ya one thing the receptions
       had a short list of questions one of which was if Masked woman
       was sick or not.. that just threw me off a little.. I responded
       thinking it was about our masks and I replied "no we aren't sick
       we just don't like to take chances" I'm like no, we aren't we
       have masks on and I'm also thinking its a weird question to ask
       because how would we know if we were sick? That's for a hospital
       to find out!.. anyway the masked receptionist  was just asking a
       formality of questions I suppose for the ultra  sound technician
       we were about to recieve ..part if me thought "if we were sick
       would you tell the technician to mask up for us"?
       ..No real close encounters with maskless people to report.. it
       wasn't very busy and everybody was able to keep distance...That
       being said the chances we were sitting in a chair a sick person
       just got out of is pretty high and airborne illness stays
       suspended in rooms for hours if not days where sick people
       frequent... I worry about upholstery and chairs we perch on of
       course. but we don't touch our faces because we are masked and I
       keep our hands fairly clean and expect to throw clothes and
       washer when we get home in case of surface contamination from
       sticky invisible germs.
       So the nurse or rather technition that did the  ultra sound led
       us to ultrasound room. My little trick of saying "We prefer you
       mask for us if that is possible" in the nicest tone of voice I
       could use did the trick and she left the room and entered
       wearing mask for us. It wasn't' awkward asking her to mask for
       us. That was a relief because the technician was masked, she
       wasn't breathing directly onto Masked woman. The masked
       technition  was in close contact with Masked Woman doing ultra
       sound on gall bladder area in room with masked woman on bed.
       I wasn't separated from Masked Woman at anytime so I feel safe.
       Again I worried about the pillow she used while ultra sound was
       being done but again I sprayed some rubbing alcohol in my hand
       and rubbed her hair a little afterwards.
       I was really glad I was never separated from her because I feel
       she was pretty safe and I made sure nurse/technician was masked
       and I am an excellent caregiver watching out for my loved one. I
       don't wanna get sick from a little hospital visit man! That's
       all there is to it. I don't accept illness and sickness as
       something I can do nothing about especially since I don't go
       anywhere in public anyway. I socialize online and I simply don't
       enjoy gatherings anyway so I am a 'stay at home' & 'work from
       home' kind of person. Exposing myself to airborne illness
       outside my home is not a way of life for me.
       So we rode home with masks on and I threw our clothes in wash
       before unmasking assuming if there are any germs they are in our
       clothes and hair and then we shower.
       Maybe I sound like a fanatic because I am fanatical ..why not be
       fanatical about something and gung ho about something as
       important as me!? ya can't see microscopic airborne sticky germs
       and after 6 years of no illness whatsoever of masking and
       taking precautions and living a relatively solitary lifestyle at
       home anyway all my strict masking  precautions are more than
       worth it considering I am only at a hospital for a couple hours
       tops. My attitude about staying safe in public is I might as
       well go for the gold and do the whole regiment of masking and
       precautions staying safe for that trip.
       For me a guy that masks and never goes anywhere anyway, going to
       hospital is like walking through the valley of the shadow of
       death...I'm going to be exposed to germs at a hospital no doubt
       in my mind .so its been total stress all week in anticipation
       because  I'm healthy enough and  haven't gotten sick in 6 years
       and have spoiled myself... Yet today's hospital trip feels
       successful enough.  I feel good and safe enough like I pulled
       that off and feel pretty safe from our trip and so anyway I want
       readers to know they will probably have success if, while having
       their mask on already, they tell a health care worker:
       *"We prefer you mask for us if that is alright" and likely the
       health care worker will!
       Blessings,
       Your beloved caregiver

       By: Steve Date: December 23, 2025, 2:07 pm

       NOTE - I didn't realize that this post was going to turn into a
       rant. Consider yourselves duly warned.
       It continues to mystify me how healthcare professionals do not
       mask during influenza season. I understand the "My [fill in
       elderly family member or friend] did not get sick, ergo, I will
       not mask because it is no longer needed" 'moon-logic' that
       currently applies for rank-and-file civilians concerning
       Covid-19. I don't approve of that logic but, at the very least,
       I understand that it is the logic that those people prefer to
       use in order to avoid personal responsibility for their actions.
       However, a healthcare professional should know better. Even
       people who are employed in a healthcare facility who are not a
       part of the medical operations (such as a doctor or a nurse)
       should be masking.
       We continue to be presented with evidence of an unrelenting
       influenza season. It is our responsibility as mature and
       rational citizens to protect ourselves and our community based
       upon the evidence available. That evidence is that influenza
       continues to increase throughout the Northern Hemisphere to
       disastrous effect.
       Covid-19 should have taught us, definitively, that nature is
       never going to be lenient with our misguided social practices.
       Whenever it can harm us, it will harm us and do so with no
       qualms whatsoever.
       Getting a "flu shot" and masking with a N95 mask or better is
       the least that responsible citizens can do to lower the cost and
       risk of having viruses spread throughout this season.
       I have already had a family member get sick this season with a
       "24-hour bug" of some kind (Norovirus? Food poisoning?) and a
       co-worker with some other mysterious infection (pneumonia, if I
       had to take a guess?) whose specifics I have not been made privy
       to. And those are just the two that I can remember immediately;
       I'm sure that there are others out there and, certainly, other
       people have their own stories of misfortune.
       My society's ignorance for not taking stronger measures on this
       issue, especially with what the global community has gone
       through in the past 5+ years, irritates me to no end and I can
       guarantee you that this lenient "I was just following the crowd"
       attitude will only cease (too late, as always) when Covid-19,
       influenza or some other nightmare virus yet to be known finally
       hits upon the same infectiousness-and-mortality formula that
       early strains of Covid-19 did.
       If safety regulations are written in blood, rules for infection
       control are written with corpses.
       There - Rant over. My apologies for hijacking the thread.

       Hijack and rant away my dear comrade or perhaps I should say my
       good colleague Steve!
       What some might term ranting and passion I deem to be a great
       sense-ability and intelligence .. I too am prone to ranting and
       even intertwine it with some imagination and figurate speech
       such as: May your words be heard and echo and thunder back down
       from the gods and clouds from above and into the tiny ears of my
       ignorant foes pounding their conscience until they hear your
       wisdom and submit and do what is right!
       For you are totally justified to rant as I am still trying to
       figure out if the doctor who is doing the gallbladder surgery is
       going to mask and make those in Masked Woman's presence mask or
       not! I have not received a straightforward answer to this from
       her surgeon as of yet! The surgery itself puts my loved on in a
       state of immunocompromisation according to my research and its a
       wonder people and caregivers such as myself  aren't instructed
       to mask around a person that is to undergo surgery before,
       during and even after the surgery to ensure the success of the
       surgery and the surgeon's work! Don't they wanna make sure the
       patient doesn't catch a cold or covid and isn't sick on the
       operating table for the thousands of bucks they are about to
       make?
       There is a reason they term them precautionary measures rather
       than just cautionary measures to prevent airborne illness and
       airborne disease..precautionary[ use pre meaning prior to or
       before one gets infected.. pre meaning to prevent. So do they
       believe in Precautionary measures as in do they believe in the
       Hippocratic oath they took namely: "if I am to care adequately
       for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for
       prevention is preferable to cure"
       Seems a guy willing to cut open my woman(excuse my pet name
       terms of endearment ownership attitude but this is the love of
       my life , my best friend , my partner in life to be
       precise)could at least show a little more respect for the
       doctor's oath he took and my concerns by stating clearly his
       stance as to whether he plans to wear a mask or not and whether
       he is going to make others mask around his patient. During the
       last visit he masked in my presence at my request but never gave
       me his word on masking for the surgery .. all he did was talk
       about how there hasn't been a mandate for masking at the
       hospital! My loved one will be under anesthesia.
       Anybody doctor or surgeon willing to advertise their face on
       YouTube should have the decency to answer a few serious medical
       questions online as to if they mask or not!
       Meet Tim Edmisten, MD - Watauga Surgical Group
       UNC Health Appalachian...
       SUMMARY:
       most surgeries are considered invasive and the surgeries
       themselves inherently put a patient at risk especially an
       elderly loved one therefore  compromising the immunity of the
       patient.  Furthermore with today's rising concern about the long
       term repercussions of viruses especially relatively novel
       viruses such as long covid, what practices are taken by Dr
       Edmisten and his team and the hospital  to ensure complete
       success and recovery of patients who receive surgery? (surgery,
       including gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), temporarily
       suppresses a patient's immune system due to stress,
       inflammation, and anesthesia, making them more vulnerable to
       infection)

       In the Hippocratic oath there is a part in it that reads: "My
       responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care
       adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can,
       for prevention is preferable to cure"...Seems I am taking the
       Hippocratic oath more serious than those who are doing the
       medical slicing and dicing of flesh and administering medicine
       to those in need such as the sick lame and elderly! Can't these
       professionals wear a mask to simply be on the safe side when
       they treat at risk patients who are typically in a state of
       weakness seeking care? I have no idea if the doctor or surgeon
       got sick from another patient or from his family on Christmas
       vacation and is masked or not while he cuts into my loved one!
       Masks save lives by helping to prevent airborne Illness and
       airborne disease!
       The Masked Man
       P.S.
       I want everybody to wear a mask when she's on the operating
       table. She's all I got. I love her. Wondering if the surgeon and
       those around her are going to wear a mask is killing me man!
       Like I said what if the surgeon and/or staff comes home sick
       after their Christmas vacations and then exposes my loved one to
       airborne illness while working around her? I'm a wreck and
       rightfully scared for her life...I'm sweating bullets  brothers
       and sisters.  People die like that! So far healthcare workers
       wear masks around us in front of me but only because I am
       presently there in my mask and only after I directly request it
       while I'm there masked and only one doctor so far has even
       washed his hands in front of us during these several
       appointments. I don't think its too much to ask if there is
       going to be strict masking around my loved one in and around
       that operating table!
       By the way, my loved who is about to receive surgery lost a
       cousin to covid who had surgery at a hospital in West Virginia..
       he contracted covid infection during his hospital stay and took
       covid home with him and died from complications of covid. Let’s
       learn from that and not have a repeat performance.. let’s take
       more precautions not less for the next patient.
       I'm so serious about this I wanna be in the same room in my mask
       making sure everybody is masked. I would just sit in the corner
       and observe I don't care what it smells like or what blood and
       gore is involved wouldn't even phase me. I just want everybody
       to be masked so I can sleep better at night knowing the patient
       is safer… at least let me sit by the door to ensure those who
       enter are masked!
       What's crazy is there is nothing in place to protect the healers
       from getting sick therefore the sick are leading the sick. The
       healers themselves refuse to take extra precautions and refuse
       to follow their Hippocratic oath and therefore refuse to take
       their own medicine in the form of extra precautions such as
       masking... I can't protect them if they refuse to mask and take
       precautions. Healthcare workers aren't paying attention or
       following rules or scientific data that supports that masks
       greatly help prevent airborne illnesses and airborne diseases
       therefore.. they are skipping that crucial evidence and
       data...Healthcare people aren't  challenging themselves and they
       are just being quiet..
       ...Obviously They aren't reading or studying about how viruses
       really work in this amazing forum and collection of highly
       categorized viruses and current events about the human condition
       at large...obviously there's not a doctor who will even speak
       his own mind amongst us..not a doctor to be found in a forum
       about viruses that will speak up on behalf of his fellow doctors
       even at this forum that has a beautiful and serious archive of
       viruses and studies all laid out before them. .. that fact
       doctors aren't active in this forum alone is alarming and
       bizarre...Just think one can study patterns and keep up to date
       with viruses and ponder connections and contemplate matters in
       regards to viruses..its fascinating and useful! Aren't doctors
       and healthcare people interested in viruses ..you know tiny
       microscopic things that make people sick that you can only see
       through the wonders of a microscope which is a powerful tool
       that I thought doctors appreciated? What are the chances  of
       that!? with all the schooling and money and interests tied up in
       health, a doctor isn't checking out a collection and archive of
       viruses and virus studies?  The sick lead the sick. This is
       called lack of education and acknowledgment of all the science
       and its advances including lack of appreciating medical tools,
       devices and apparatuses which are an important part of safety in
       the medical care world..They refuse to acknowledge all modes of
       protection against viruses and this is a negligence and
       injustice not to include the importance, utility and  necessity
       of the safety mask in this field and its functions and ability
       to protect us in the practical world  .. If there are doctors
       out there that voluntarily acknowledge the function and
       usefulness of masks then those doctors are few and far between
       and need to make themselves more known and present.
       To me, what most physicians and healers fail to recognize it is
       not a multiple choice of preventions.. you shouldn't chose one
       treatment over another treatment and then fail to acknowledge
       one treatment over the other. For instance if Masks help prevent
       airborne illness and airborne diseases then they must be
       acknowledged as a prevention and suggested and used. One isn't
       allowed to not include treatments just because they come in the
       form of using an apparatus and simply suggest internal medicine
       for everything. It isn't enough to simply dispense drugs and not
       use and include tools that actually prevent illnesses...
       ..that's part of The Hippocratic oath.. you have to include
       everything that prevents the disease or illness.. you aren't
       allowed to fail to mention what actually works if it exists and
       this includes masks. The Hippocratic oath doesn't allow you to
       favor the treatment over the preventative measures.. The
       Hippocratic oath clearly states "if I am to care adequately for
       the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention
       is preferable to cure" Masks Prevent airborne Illness and
       airborne disease.. so follow the oath! >:( ..that's the
       "prevention" the oath is referring to. Its referring to the mask
       that prevents the infection from occurring in the first place
       obviously!
       (what I can't believe is nurses or doctors  that don't mask even
       qualify for health insurance wearing a mask for a doctor or
       nurse is equivalent to wearing a seatbelt in a car or wearing a
       helmet while operating heavy construction. a doctor without a
       mask just doesn't make sense a doctor without a mask is like a
       doctor with a cigarette hanging off his lips a doctor without a
       mask is like a doctor without a stethoscope ..use the safety
       tools man.. that's what they are there for! at least put on a
       mask when your patients are because it makes ya look weak and
       dimwitted not to have one on. Doctors that don't mask look
       totally amateur like they don't belong around any airborne
       illnesses and like they don't know anything about viruses and
       covid was just a joke or something..its just hard to take an
       unmasked doctor or unmasked nurse seriously ..its as if they
       aren't qualified to be present around any viruses when they are
       unmasked..like they are on vacation at a cocktail party or
       something and they are in a different decade of time..Now
       doctor or nurse with a mask on inspires trust and toughness ..
       Now on the contrary ..A masked doctor or masked nurse is ready
       and prepared for anything and I mean anything ..you don't know
       what is wrong with a patient when they first come in coughing
       and sputtering or short of breath .. so the masked ones have
       what it takes to jump in there no matter what or how vicious or
       contagious the illness is and they can diagnose illnesses and
       disease safely and promptly when they have their mask already
       on.. an unmasked doctor or nurse is going to get waylaid by some
       airborne illness they aren't prepared for.. and they look it too
       .. they just don't have what it takes in advance like a masked
       healthcare worker has. The masked doctors make the maskless
       doctors look totally unprofessional and meek and worthless in
       the eyes of the patient The maskless doctor looks totally inept
       , totally unprepared and even ill prepared kind of like a bum
       while the Masked doctor looks like a total pro ready to jump
       into the face of anything!  like I can trust that masked
       doctor..he's on his toes a the top of his game ready for
       anything ..like I know he's with it and he's playing with a full
       deck and he takes things seriously. The masked doctor looks more
       serious and is acting more serious that's all there is to
       it..the masked doctor looks more powerful and able because they
       are with their mask..its like the masked doctor has more energy
       for what is at stake.The masked doctor just looks and acts more
       professional and serious which is what I look for in a doctor.
       Its hard to respect a maskless doctor that isn't ready for some
       random person that has a cough and is sputtering in the face of
       the doctor.. the maskless doctor is a sitting duck.. quack
       quack... I respect a person that takes things seriously! A
       masked doctor simply leaves a maskless doctor in the dust when
       it comes to trust, readiness, and magnitude of seriousness....
       ...There are no two ways about it, the Masked Doctors and Masked
       Nurses look like they are ready to ROCK!
       Get this: Many of these topics even including my own posts in
       this Data Report Info forum often have a lot more views than the
       YouTube channels that local Doctors host.
       I'd like to say as well that I have absolutely nothing to lose
       by asking meaningful questions in public as to if particular
       doctors and nurses mask around patients that are having gall
       bladder surgery and I have everything to lose by not asking and
       could regret it for the rest of my life if I never asked.
       .
