Well, you go ahead and embrace every new revelation as it comes. I will remain skeptical until I see some REAL science from trusted sources.
its called science!!!! As i mentioned previously i have a have a CLINICAL background as a perfusionist and in the med device industry...I have seen the effects of microemboli on the body whether it be the brain or kidney. I have seen the effects of “pumphead” syndrome from pts undergoing open heart surgery which would mimic some of the disorders described in the paper.
Its not “embracing every revelation” but rather my using commonsense from KNOWN medical phenomenon from papers and EXPERIENCE and coming to a rational conclusion.
A case in point would be for you to think about what happpens when a pt has a stroke. They get confused, have the propensity for mental/psychological effects due to the stroke. What causes the strokes??? Many variables one of them being clots (as in pts with afib). As I mentioned with COVID many of those pts develop hypercoaguable states and thus have a greater chance of throwing clots to the brain, kidneys (causing renal failure which IS DOCUMENTED).
As i also mentioned these pts if placed on ECMO ROUTINELY clot off their circuits much quicker than non covid pts.
So you can say I am running to “embrace every revelation”. I hate to say it but many here run to embrace the opposite...They run to embrace every skepticism. As someone else here shared they had a family member have severe neurological effects. It was probably due to clotting and embolization to the brain.
So i challenge you....show me where hypercoagulabilty is NOT an issue in covid patients and that the blood clots generated cant travel to the brain and cause damage to the brain. If you can then i will believe you. If not then you are speaking from ignorance.
As a primer to start to show my point here is an article on pump head syndrome
