How insensitive and uncaring of that anesthesiologist That's a similar response I've gotten from nearly every doctor I've encountered. I'm in northern New England, US right now, hiding in my apartment as the pandemic rages on. I'm as good as dead if I go outside and catch the virus. I couldn't get help before, now, all I can do is hide.
