Still, even without that each and every one of us has our own responsibilities for our health. Easy, a shot. Even 2 or 2 and a booster. Lots of surgeries and treatments depend on the patient to make themselves ready. Without that, no treatment. It has been this way for a very long time. Hearts are not sitting around in baskets waiting for patients. Patients who take care of themselves and follow the criteria are waiting.
