Yesterday's shocking display. Sets us back on road to pandemic recovery

  Just for the record!

What happened yesterday was outrageous and disgraceful and I hold the doctors completely responsible. Being quarantined and in isolation does not mean going for a joy ride as a photo op!

The doctors are trained to manage patients with infectious diseases with a responsibility to both the patient and the community. They failed miserably. I question their principles and medical ethics.

Any patient can sign out of hospital AMA (against medical advice) that is their right. If this occurs with someone who is harmful to others the doctors should then notify the health department and seek  legal recourse with law enforcement up to and including a legal injunction.

Please understand, this is NOT “Ha Ha, look what just happened!”
It is nonsensical and should be condemned but the entire medical and public health community.

For the record that is how I would handle any of my patients who are ridiculous enough to behave in that manner.
