Today's #stupidbutfunny work episode might take a few spouts because I really didn't know this was something that has to be explained to full grown adults. So brace yourself

#stupidbutfunny so my coworker gets a call from someone new to the practice claiming to be in pain and wants to be seen. She makes him an appointment. But like any medical place there's paperwork that you need to fill out. Now it's all electronic so you can do before you show up. She sends it to him

#stupidbutfunny after an hour or so we get the paperwork back and my coworkers face looks very confused. What's up? That new pt? He checked "Yes" to having flu-like symptoms on our COVID form... 😐🤨

Sir, it doesn't matter what kind of flu. We're still vulnerable and you could pass it on to us and our other patients here.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! YOU GUYS WEAR MASKS!
Yes. But we're still the most vulnerable bc we'll be working in your mouth. And masks don't protect 100%.
