My son, Markus M. was called by family medical center out of Temperence to schedule an appointment with his PCP., Dr. Stockmiieger. Upon his arrival today at 10 minutes before his appt. time at 3pm, the staff said that he had to wear a mask. He explained to the lady over the counter that he had a medical exemption, and so she walked to the back room and returned 2 minutes later with a nurse. She said it's policy that everyone has to wear a mask. My son explains that he has lung cancer, and that his oncologist out of Ann Arbor said that due to his increase in lung infections, he CANNOT wear a mask under any circumstances, not to mention his extreme claustrophobia. The lady raised her voice and kept repeating that it's policy regardless of the reason and that the Dr. wouldn't see him unless he wears one. Apparently, this policy is so extreme, that they're willing to compromise the health and well-being of the patient instead of hearing what's being said. They'd rather Markus develop an infection before his surgery on his lungs, and risk him passing out and cracking his skull in the lobby than to compromise this policy for his extreme medical condition. we've already contacted Sam Bernsteins' law offices and will be filing, what would amount to Markus's 3rd lawsuit against medical institutions in Michigan for this exact reason. See you in court, we have a recording. We're also reporting this facility and Dr. S. to the medical board for discrimination and refusing medical treatment.
