You shouldn’t. I know you want to but hospital is not where you want to be

Usually not. You wouldn’t be able to get into room anyways

They won't let anyone come visit a covid positive patient in an IHC hospital.

Very common to have a high FiO2 (the 70% oxygen number you quoted) immediately after intubation

SJS

Also very common for users of hydroxychloroquine

SJS

Proof?

travelcoug

4/5/20 3:52pm

The burden of proof is on you, sir. Show me a large, prospective study that shows that plaquenil or any other medication

SJS

So ridiculous to not save lives because you are so arrogant.

Link to said studies?

Here is info

Sorry, I’m not looking for news reports or CB posts

Do you think it should be used at all? I admit I haven’t read this entire

tander123

4/5/20 4:51pm

I'm saying I haven't seen any proof from legitimate medical literature that it works

SJS

4/5/20 5:03pm

So you are against it being used right now?

tander123

4/5/20 5:07pm

I'm against using anything until there is success demonstrated

SJS

4/5/20 5:11pm

Thanks for clarifying. I generally would agree if we had the time. I’m ok

Well duh genius. How long has COVID-19 been around...not long enough to complete a study.

So the final answer is: no, you don't have a link.

Your final answer it’s ok if people die as long as my agenda lives

travelcoug

4/5/20 5:05pm

I don't have an agenda. I would use anything that works. You said you had proof, but can't link to anything

SJS

4/5/20 5:09pm

Doctors that use it and have had hundreds of successes no failures statistical

travelcoug

4/5/20 5:14pm

Again, you shouldn't post on this until you have a real study. Thanks though.

Sometimes when it's a matter of life or death

bigjohn

That's very much not the meaning of "statistical proof". It's a bunch of anecdotes.

Nope - said I'd use it if hospitalized. Please read the whole post. Maybe you

Agreed, discussing with him further seems pointless. Good post by yourself though.

Also false

SJS

It's promising, but IMO a clinical trial is vastly superior to a survey.

No duh. Of course. No one is saying they wouldn’t prefer to have a long
