Chemo visit Wednesday 7/15--Angela's Thoughts

Oh boy...what an interesting chemo day. The normal drive to Abramson Cancer Center getting worse with traffic. Thank you Dave Bursler for not killing us on the way there or back...lol I do the usual blood work and check in for chemo. A couple walks in and proceeds to chemo check in. The spouse isn't even supposed to be there but proceeds to tell the check in person how awful it was having the Coronavirus.....the wife (cancer patient) doesn't want to wear a mask. I spoke to the check in person about the Coronavirus spouse and she tells me he tested negative twice...he's fine. Are you serious???? Stay AWAY and take your wife with you if she doesn't want to wear a mask. Then there was another guy (not a cancer patient) with an older chemo patient who was snoring so loud... until his phone rang and you heard everything he said and it continued...snoring and phone conversations. WTF is wrong with people. I was told no one can come up to the chemo floor without a doctor's note?...I am sure none of the extra 5, 6 or 7 people had a note but they took up the few amount of chairs that were there. Another women couldn't understand English but did she really have to have her two older children in the waiting room with her....they didn't understand what 6 feet away meant. The more people up on the chemo floor...the more chance people can get infected. There is no excuse for Penn Medicine to let their guard down in a cancer facility. It's kind of funny that all the administrative check in people have a guard in front of them and ask you to step back if you get close. And to top the day off, I went outside to sit on a bench 6 feet away from an older gentleman who couldn't stop farting and it smelled horrible. And to think I pay thousands of dollars for this....
