I once insisted on wearing a mask while I saw my doctor, because I had no idea what was wrong with me but had serious symptomatology: my tongue was literally in an S curve, and I had been rejected from ER by clowns who said they fix broken limbs but do not diagnose difficulty swallowing. I suspected a virus.

The doctor's notes in my med record made observation that I insisted on a mask.
After three days in hospital, I was dc'd with many possibilities ruled out but no diagnosis.

Should I have worn a mask? The m.d. Did not think I needed it and asked me why I was wearing it.

I eventually was diagnosed...will save that for follow up to comments on the mask...
