Is anxiety getting in the way of your mask wearing? Masks help contain the coronavirus and it is each of our responsibilities to support our community.
Here’s a desensitization program which should help you wear one more comfortably.
Of note… N95 masks with valves spew the wearer’s respiratory viruses out the valve and do not protect others. I urge cotton masks, surgical masks, or N95s without valves.
This is me on hospital rounds—N95 with cotton mask on top ( with eye glasses and scrub hat for extra protection)…not glamorous, but necessary.
I have been practicing as a family physician for over 20 years--as both an educator of physicians and clinician. From infancy to the elderly, I perform obstetrics and general medicine. I love my career and am passionate about my field of knowledge and my patients.
