I had a youngish patient....slightly overweight and a smoker....

but she never needed oxygen at home...

she did not have the flu...

she had a severe harsh cough and her oxygen needs increased and it was difficult to discharge her without oxygen....finally we did but her oxygen sats were still very borderline....

she presented as a very sick person but there was no clear diagnosis why....

Interesting...that’s consistent with COVID attacking hemoglobin. No SOB, just low sat.

Since most of my meds are drying agents, the Cornea doc said I had to give up some.. well most where for serious conditions I’ve Gastropresis slow digestion, only thing that eases the pain is Lomotil as it is 2 mg pain med. Diazide is for fluid around Enlarged heart. So the Claratin and Flonase had to go. Every time they take me off the allergy med I get a month’s of Horrid Bronchitis. Her Restasis stung, 1 singlet caused a eye infection. Of course over the weekend when Ophthalmologist isn’t in, nor did she tell me the Meibomian glands were clogged. All 4 tear ducts are permanently closed.
