Hospital Wristband

Title (Dublin Core)

Hospital Wristband

Description (Dublin Core)

My elderly mother had to go to the emergency room. As a visitor I was screened at the entrance, asked several questions about my health, exposure to Covid-19, and recent travel. Nothing like this has ever happened to me in a hospital before. I'm glad they are doing this, but it was sobering. My community has not been hard hit by the pandemic, and it's hard to remember sometimes that this invisible virus is always potentially present. This object was a tangible reminder.
