Fostering a dialogue

A drug I'm on from my transplant called CellCept is cycotoxic, or so they tell me. It's a pill I take on a daily basis to prevent rejection, and I take the pill at home.

However, the procedures of The Ottawa Hospital dictate that the nurses must mask and grown to connect me to dialysis because of the drug. When I got my dialysis at the General, they didn't do this, but now at the Riverside suddenly they do. It's both confusing and offensive, and I've told them so.

Today I was informed that a dialogue has been started on this matter, thanks to me. They are working to get an exemption so my nurses don't have to mask and grown due to me taking this medication. It causes no real danger to the nurses as they have to wear a mask and gloves anyway as part of normal safety procedures. They just wouldn't have to wear the elaborate blue gown.

I hope this dialogue bears some fruit.

Believe in yourself.
