Quotes
“The amount of mis information I am seeing on social media is amazing, I am overwhelmed by the choices that we are making right now when it comes to our PPE”
“Protocols and guidelines are there for a reason people, they are to protect you and your patients”
“Those masks that you pick up at Home Depot, might not be medical device masks, they might not do what you need them to do”
“You need to make sure you have the right mask for the task”
“Every mask is single use, that means 1 time, that means not for multiple patients”
“The mask not covering your nose… doesn’t do any good”
“When you bring that mask closer to your face, you are causing your breath to get the mask wet more quickly, don't twist the ear loops”
“When patients are sick the last thing they need to be doing is breathing in our aerosols”
