Had a lovely little note today from my medical insurer encouraging me to keep up with medical appointments and annual checkup and they enclosed a totally useless mask - stretch, poly, with great big holes in the fabric. It's medical malpractice. A great idea, but a flop to me! The info about correct masks has been out there a long while now!

If it weren't so sad, it would be funny. I agree with you 100% and encourage you to speak your peace with the insurer, as you know there are many ill informed that are relying on the mask they received. Did you catch the play on words in that statement? I guess it would be misinformed.

My BFF sent a picture of her grown daughter.She had a mask on that was given out to her second grader from the school. The mask was large on her so it would swallow a 2nd grader! Her grandpa said just cut some holes out for her eyes.

One of those things that makes you go "Hmmmm" It certainly is different medical care. My last encounter was via e-mail where I described a rash and sent pictures. The Dr. sent in a prescription from that.

At least you know how to upload pics.

Sigh I've tried to wear a mask but almost ended up in the ER. So no medical care for me since I can't get tests of any kind. But I'm content to be at home anyway. At least your cute little mask is worth a chuckle.

Still infuriated. If we can be informed on it on an embroidery site, what, maybe in February, to use cotton for its close weave, why can't the insurance company, as a medical system adjunct, do a bit of research. Totally done by their advertising department.

My annual check up was via the internet. I am trying not to go to any medical places if I can help it. Funny, doctor never mentioned the battery of blood tests they usually have me do. The only thing that appointment was good for, I got some answers to questions I had. These are crazy times.
