Compare my story to those athletes in Data Reports sports Illness Threads (There are many who are playing despite being ill and many apparently not being diagnosed or determining their illnesses for goodness sake):

https://www.datareport.info/2025-tracking-threads/2025-international-sports-illness-thread/msg4333/?topicseen#newNote all the undiagnosed undisclosed illness cases amongst the athletes. If I behaved like those athletes and didn't seek medical attention for my loved one, you would think I should go to jail for having denied medical treatment to my loved one. What happen to us is my loved appeared to have great anxiety and little chest pains. Maybe it was the spicy shrimp creole we ate or maybe it was some pain medicine that she normally doesn't take that evening that triggered her discomfort but why take chances!? Let's be realistic ...DON"T TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS OR CHANCES ... it was high time to seek medical attention.. like right away!! I love her!
I couldn't play know it all when it comes to a loved one being uncomfortable with symptoms of illness and we did the right thing by promptly seeking medical attention in our masks to avoid further illnesses and complications that could arise from catching an airborne illness/virus at hospital while we were there. Look at wonderful results:
We found out my loved one is okay.
We ruled out that she was not having any immediate life threatening conditions such as heart problems
We found out from tests she might have prospective problems with gall bladder stones or kidney stones which is a great thing to know for the future
We came home knowing we can participate in walking (exercise) with no fear of it killing her.
Compare this to all the unknown scary illnesses as of yet diagnosis' for all that athletes who are ignoring what is inherently good for us such as knowledge of what ails them and who have no idea what illness they are sporting with. Ignoring or pushing blindly through symptoms of an unknown illness is no way to live. With real medical attention and care much of this useless suffering that ill athletes are subjecting one another to in the face of acting macho might even be easily preventable. Imagine the monstrosity, if I treated my loved one that way and simply told you all she is suffering from an 'illness' but that we will push through those chest pains and that he ache and walk competitively anyway tomorrow! That's exactly the way we treat these athletes who are complaining or bragging about their symptoms and undisclosed undiagnosed illnesses.
Think about it: Many retirement homes, airports ,schools participate in disclosing warning information to the public when they know the public was exposed to a case of measles, or tuberculoses on their grounds in order to reduce outbreaks... the entire airport or school warns the public of an exposure meanwhile athlete after athlete simply states they have an "illness" with no regard or fair warning to those they may have been in contact with that week. Talk about playing dumb.. stop playing until you figure out what ya got.. then report what you got to others so others know what to look for. Half the battle in treating something properly is knowing what it is and so its simply mean to hide it from others you had contact with. A sick person might go the doctors and be a day too late in wondering what particular contagious disease or illness they have because the athlete that gave it to them is hiding his or her illness.
People,
If someone you love is hurting be responsible, seek medical attention and make efforts to find out what is wrong and take precautions such as masking to prevent further problems while determining illness.
If I treated my loved one like these athletes who keep playing while sporting an undiagnosed or undisclosed illness they'd put me in prison and rightly so for refusing to seek medical attention to one who needs it! We as a society attempt to help people who are in need of medical care or unable to care for themselves or if we are suicidal. I don't see why we let athletes endanger themselves and others.
That being said, it is equally offensive that many doctors, nurses, staff, patients don't take precautions such as masking and other preventative measures to protect one another, their patients from exchanging airborne illnesses and viruses while these patients are seeking medical attention. Many of us who need medical attention are rightly afraid to because we are afraid to get sick at the very place we seek medical treatment and attention from.
The n95 mask is an indispensable tool that has been scientifically proven to help prevent airborne illness and viruses, Use it!
The Masked Man
P.S. Our masked doctor and masked nurse had my masked love one hooked up to a machine that checks for heart attacks and monitors vital signs, blood pressure, oxygen saturation constantly for like four hours straight. Not once did the doctor tell my loved one to take off her mask and that machine would have told us if she wasn't getting enough oxygen or if the mask was impeding her health in any way. She's 77 and didn't whine about her mask so there's absolutely no excuse for people to say they can't breathe through a properly fitted n95 mask especially an athlete or healthcare worker.
We have to seek medical treatment again someday so there needs to be an agreement and a mandate for all doctors to mask or rather all doctors, nurses, and staff who boast of treating the human condition should follow the scientific data and wear masks .. we probably just got lucky that particular doctor who ran tests on us last night wears masks. I commended him for masking and you know what his reply was? It was "I mask because I have a newborn daughter and I don't want to bring any of
that stuff home to her".
I certainly haven't even had a doctor checkup nor do I go to hospital unless I think I'm dying since nobody masks in the waiting rooms and my loved one's cousin got covid during his hospital stay(caught covid while in the hospital) and passed away from covid complications. I'm not a dumb animal that is going to risk catching an airborne illness from those that don't make efforts to prevent airborne illnesses. Unless I absolutely have to, Even though I mask I'm not likely going to enter a place that is supposed to treat illnesses and has ill people routinely frequent their facility that doesn't do squat to prevent the spread of illnesses amongst their staff and clientele. Like I said I'm not deaf I heard some hospital staff worker down the hall coughing his head off for four hours straight while me and loved one were in masks in a room hooked up to something that monitor her health and monitoring for heart attacks. I have no way of knowing if that obviously sick staff worker came into our room or infected those that work around him. Usually that is how people get sick.. someone is sick they don't go home and cough and make others sick. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out.
When I do have to go to these places I make people wear masks around me and my loved ones because we are wearing masks. I tell the nurses that don't have a mask : "We prefer you wear a mask for us" So far they comply because I won't let them near my masked loved one if they don't mask up. I"ll get my loved one outta there if they don't mask up. As genuine caretaker, I in my mask
will become a physical barrier between me and my masked love one if they don't mask. Her regular doctor(whom according to nurse has actually lost a lot of elderly patients to covid) refused to see us because he refuses to mask so we found a doctor that does mask. Ive also got a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol. I keep in my jacket pocket constantly spraying our hands and to clean the chairs we sit in. You want something done right you gotta do it yourself.
