Thanks. An intelligent article from someone who is actually qualified to have an opinion!

Hey Doc!

TRY THE HCQ PROTOCOL!!

"Yes, we know about remdesivir and tocilizumab, convalescent plasma and maximum dose anti-coagulation, proning and APRV, steroids and cyclosporine. We’ve been trying all of that. There’s nothing that dramatically works and the occupancy is rising like a tide that will eventually drown you even though it ebbs and flows from the perspective of a single wave."

This writer has missed EVERYTHING that he could have learned over these past many weeks.I hope I NEVER see someone like this in my ER visit.

Poor oxygenation caused by the virus blocking hemoglobin oxygen function.

Hydroxy, with Zith And Zinc, EARLY.

There, I’m an ER Doc too.

“TRY THE HCQ PROTOCOL!!”

The HCQ + Zinc + Azithromycin or Doxycycline protocol!

A couple of things struck me. No mention of HCQ or zinc, so care is based upon stereotypes? I understand a high correlation is invited over but I hope you go beyond that. Ventilator care is hit or miss, eh? You’re expecting to intubate a patient who shows no signs of breathing distress is sitting up watching TV? Hayhaps it’s a blood transport issue. Both ng you are doing is cut my the patients, you say it’s wait and see so how about trying packed red cell transfusion. Sat levels rise, hey, you’re on to something.

I caught that too. HCQ was conspicuously absent in his list. I’m not saying it’s a miracle cure (people seem to disagree on that) but it is very odd for his list of things which are not miracle cures to exclude HCQ.

Yep. No mention of Trump pills. No wonder he’s losing patients and writing bitchy articles.

At least his opinions are based on observed facts.

As opposed to Fauci’s which are based on bullsh** projections.

Hmm. What is missing in that list? Also the ICUs in places that it is bad are not being overwhelmed. Why is that going to change>?

Those ARE the elements of the HCQ Protocol.

Let’s try that again.
a couple of things struck me. No mention of HCQ or zinc, one demerit. So care is based upon stereotypes? I understand a high correlation is typical but I hope you go beyond that. Ventilator care is hit or miss, eh? You’re expecting to intubate a patient who shows no signs of breathing distress is sitting up watching TV? Mayhaps it’s a blood transport issue.

Those with good reason to fear are those over 80,those who are substantially overweight,those who are diabetic and those with certain underlying conditions (heart/lungs/immune system,etc).

Of course they're the same ones who have good reason to fear the "regular" flu.

I read the article and these comments and can only think, “When everyone is an expert, no one knows anything.”

Why does this person not even mention the single biggest treatment out there?

Hydroxychloroquine.

Why are all the democratic-leaning news organizations countering the doctors and Trump about HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE effectiveness?

_____________

Because his state medical board will pull his license for violating the governor’s edict not to use HCQ as a prophylactic to stop the virus before it creates an ICU problem.

Lie of omission ... sound familiar?
