We were in SHC emerg on Sunday (shut up). There was a mom there with her little one, who was ill. A friend of hers happened to also be in the ER due to a cracked something or other in her foot. Mom had to go out to her vehicle and get something so she came and had the friend hold the baby, in the triage chairs area. Then when she was back, she proceeded to talk to the friend and they were both crowing about how they don't vaccinate and mom was all put out that the docs were testing her little guy for all the diseases she could avoid by vaccinating. When they started that up, my husband and I got up and moved to a completely different area and masked up - the nurse came looking for us to do vitals, etc and asked why we'd moved because he couldn't find us. I asked the nurse why she was allowed to wander the triage area if the baby was being tested for these diseases, particularly if he actually had one of them, since it was a great place to spread them to other patients - told him we moved because we live with someone who is considered immunocompromised and had no interest in possibly carrying crap home to them. Told the nurse if something came of it, I'd be having a very long drawn out conversation with the hospital about it.
They made her remain in the room after that. I'm sure she wasn't best pleased but frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
