A Firm No

 On Thursday, I was sitting in my office when one of our patients walked in. Since we are not having people in the office I asked if he had an appointment. He said that he did not. He asked if he could use our bathroom. I asked why he was in the building. He told me that his wife was having a procedure upstairs. I told him to go back up and use their bathroom. He again said that she was having a procedure upstairs. I asked if the procedure was being done in the bathroom. He said of course not. I asked if the upstairs office had a waiting room and a bathroom. He responded yes to both questions. Again, I told him to go back upstairs. I then explained that due to Covid, if he walked into the hallway and used the bathroom, I would need to screen him for Covid with a questionnaire and sterilize the bathroom after he left. I did not feel that I had to stop my work and do that since he could go upstairs and go to the bathroom. I still have no idea what possessed him to leave one office, use the elevator, come into another office and ask to use their bathroom. I held firm on my "no".
