Going to the doctor, 2020 style  by louannwarren

Going to the doctor, 2020 style

For my annual checkup I had my temperature taken at the entrance to this building and an orange band put on my wrist stating that I was fever free. Then I walked to these ladies who asked me the virus questions, they also had extra masks for patients. Once I passed the quiz I could go to my appointment. I expect these procedures will be in place through next year, until the Covid vaccines can do their jobs.
Ooh my , reminds me of a partly grated carrot !! ha . We have the same palaver re the covid here too -- but a much needed regime to try and keep us safe !

Great to have these precautions...............love that carrot tree!

Sadly a sign of the times

Yes, I had a page long set of questions at the dentist office. I'm happy to see all the precautions. I will probably wear a mask when going out long after the vaccine is in place!

Nice shot. It sure is different today. My last neurologist's appointment was a video one over my cell phone.

A necessary precaution to help keep us safe & well. I don't think that carrot tree reminds me of Christmas...
December 12th, 2020  
It’s necessary......love the unusual artwork!

That's the usual routine in most medical facilities- although in my doctor's office the screening and questions are done at the same time. Stay healthy!

Is that a Chihuly sculpture?

It's good to have these precautions. Stay safe.

It's still so surreal however, this would make me feel more confident at the doctors office. And that Chihuly art piece... Wow! Nice medical facility - I like it when they bring art in to the mix at medical facilities - the hospital, when I lived in Burbank, has a piano in the lobby and people often play - music and art to calm and soothe all.

A sign of the times.Very difficult to see doctors here.My husband has an infected toe.We had to send a photo to the surgery for the Dr.to look at yesterday,so that he could prescribe antibiotics.
December 12th, 2020  
Same everywhere I think! I take that’s a model of a virus/ bug?
December 12th, 2020  
A necessary procedure to keep everyone safe - love the "carrot" art work as a bright highlight :)
December 12th, 2020  
Lovely documentation
December 12th, 2020  
That is some incredible art work....you would feel much better after seeing that... rungs a smile to the face. Your doctors looks a very impressive place I must say...I doubt any germs would dare invade that space! Similar precautions here too.

Its just a matter of time before we can get back to normal, its down to us all following the rules until then and get the vaccinations when we get the call, stay safe Lou Ann:)
December 12th, 2020  
Who would have thought a year ago what we would be living with right now!!!!
December 12th, 2020  
I think it will be a long time before we get back to normal again. Better to be safe than sorry though.

When David was in hospital a couple of months ago it took longer to get into the hospital going through various check in stations than it did to drive there.

I love the orange sculpture, the lady in front of it looks like Medusa with orange hair.

I was wondering if the art was Chihuly. Fancy medical building if it is! A terrific shot of it and the guardians of the door. OI am so grateful we can go to medical appointments even if we have to be screened first! It is worht the inconveninece to stay healthy!
December 13th, 2020  
do they pluck the orange band from that "tree"? 😊 aces! hope all went well.
December 13th, 2020  
That is for sure the most unusual tree I think I've ever seen! As someone above said, it does take your mind off why you're there. If we could just convince the rest of the world how simple it would be to get a handle on this virus if they would just take the 3 easy steps - sounds like all 365'ers understand - why can't the rest!
December 13th, 2020  
Yes, it is different to have such appointments. We had to wait in the car til called, then taken into the otherwise locked offices and kept in isolation there. But actually, it felt safe so that was fine.

@beryl @radiogirl @phil_sandford @linnypinny @mittens @happysnaps @jacqbb @olivetreeann @danette @gijsje @elatedpixie @carolmw @carole_sandford @gilbertwood @joansmor @happypat @pcoulson @sarah19 @onewing @grammyn @summerfield @milaniet @taffy thank you all so much for your wonderful comments, I appreciate every one of them. That is a Chihuly piece, I’ve always said I would love to see them clean it. It sits in a fountain and I suspect they have a mini crane that pours cleaner over it then rinses it, but there’s really no way to know unless you work there. I had two appointments in different buildings that day and they both went very well. My sister always says “after 60 it’s patch, Patch, patch”! I believe her!

It is a strange new world for sure
December 13th, 2020  
@louannwarren So good to hear that all went well
December 13th, 2020  
Lovely tree, unusual colour for Christmas. Hospitals taking many precautions when admitting people inside. We experienced this in April or May when Christine broke her wrist. Better that than infecting the whole hospital community.
December 13th, 2020  
That looks like a Chihuly piece of art too! :)
