But it’s not my decision, I am a part owner in the practice but not on the Board.
Just got a call this morning saying my hernia surgery scheduled for Friday is cancelled. BD is not real happy about that because the discomfort level has been increasing lately and a hernia has the potential of creating some very nasty complications, and who knows how long this pandemic will run. The way I see it the complications could alter my overall health to the point of making me
very vulnerable to covid-19.
Not happy. Not happy at all.
