Today, I'm accepting professional defeat and preparing to move. My state has one of the lowest vaccine rates in the country. If I have to see another ICU full of people with Covid just because they chose not to get vaccinated, I'll become one of those doctors who think all patients are stupid. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, someone who lives off the government stated that all I do as a front line nurse is wipe arses, and that I know nothing about Covid because I'm not a doctor. He refuses to get the vaccine as well. FML
Today, I realized just how bad my life had become when the doctor said I was likely to survive my severe case of Covid and I was disappointed. FML
Today, my adult son is visiting, sick on my couch with influenza A. He's spent all week screaming about how anti vaxxers are stupid, but admits that he didn't get a flu shot because, "they don't work." I got my flu shot and still got sick because I'm immunocompromised. He fails to see the irony. FML
Today, I learned that my doctor lost all of my immunization records. I can't start law school without them. FML
Today, I realized I've been avoiding a doctor's visit for issues, because it might be less painful to go out that way than to see how much more a crapshoot 2021 would be. FML
Today, despite getting all vaccinations and taking all precautions, I've tested positive for Covid. Again. FML
Today, I'd finally gotten a great job working with kids who I totally loved and attached to super quickly, but the school district has told me they don't have space for me anymore because they caved to local pressure and hired back the anti-vaxxer, and now are overstaffed. FML
Today, I hate the government for starting talking about vaccine passports and mandating the Covid-19 vaccine, because I almost had my wife convinced to go get it, and now she's all, "I'm not doing something they are telling me I have to do. I'm not a sheep." FML
Today, despite both of us being vaccinated, my wife recently tested positive for Covid and now I'm showing symptoms. Neither my state or job offers any kind of financial support for Covid leave, so my options are infecting others or starving under a bridge. FML
Today, I discovered two senior doctors made misdiagnoses by ignoring protocols. When I confronted them, they denied it. My director told me not to turn them in, and I'm not financially stable enough to quit. The state licensing board only takes complaints from patients. I'm so sorry, I don't know what to do. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No matter what happens in this world there will always be millions of “experts” and self proclaimed professionals in that area to tell everyone how wrong the actual people who do the job are.

As has been constantly explained, those measures only mean that you are less likely to end up in the hospital and bother people like the medical professional who posted this with your stupidity.

You wanna build a Covid Survival Compound where we don't let in anyone without a vaccine, grow our own food, hunt our own meat, and I make clothes and such for everyone? I can make clothes, cook, and garden--we just need some goats for meat and milk and we should be set.

Ma'am, I don't blame you. I commend you for your patience and service in tryna help. You did your best and, like most anti-vaxxers, the stupidity broke your tolerance. Hopefully the ignorant ones quickly die off and the ones properly following procedure last. This pandemic will unfortunately last long cause of blatant ignorance and stupidity.

Well in Washington Covid has been hitting around the White House and Congress pretty good and they only are surrounded by people with the vaccine and boosters and masks etc…

Why wouldn't you want to be like that? Then, when you find the occasional patient who isn't, you can be pleasantly surprised!

Except that statistics are showing that the majority of civud cases are with people who WERE vaccinated. So, there's that.

That's not true. The vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated. Quit lying and get your vaccine, traitor.

To be fair, most patients are morons.

I also work in Healthcare and I already think most patients are stupid.
