Gobsmacked. [View all]

I just returned from a consult with a general surgeon in the HealthFirst network in Florida.
I recently had surgeries and a hernia popped up, literally, in my belly. Since I have eye issues to address before this, I deemed it only a consult as I've been told it's elective.

Anyway, the surgeon was a talker. Towards the end of my appointment I asked and he informed me he is NOT vaccinated. Blames it on a number of things, 1) he's already had covid (only a minor headache ), 2) the powers that be did not handle the roll-out right, 3) it's become too politicized, and 4) no one knows what's going to happen with these unapproved vaccines. I did mention the 550K dead people vs. the millions who are now alive because of the vaccines, but he blew that off.

Well, when I get around to it, I think I'll blow him off and will be in the market for another surgeon. He's entitled to his opinion, but I don't agree with it.
