“An interesting story regarding his interactions with hospital staff and security.” Admin

 

My daughter had a cardiology appointment at the Halifax Infirmary this week. We showed up at the front doors and there was a line-up to enter. I have never seen a queue at the entrance to a hospital before. It looked like a Soviet bread line. The hospital wasn’t choked with COVID-19 patients, it turned out; the slow-down was a security post inside the door where a guard was stopping everyone, and demanding to see their proof of vaccination papers.

 

“You’ve got to be kidding,” I thought. A few days before the visit, I received one of those now-standard pre-visit check-up calls, where they asked a list of COVID questions: Are you feverish? Have you travelled outside of the province in the past 14 days? Have you tested positive for COVID-19? Has anyone you know tested positive for COVID-19? No, to all. Nothing about our vaccination status.

 

When the mall cop at the door asked for our papers, and I said we didn’t have any, he said we weren’t allowed in. “I don’t think that’s right,” I objected. “She has an appointment in cardiology. It’s an essential service. I think you better let me speak to someone.”
