I have started the video in strategic places during the complete video discussion.

The whole informative piece on this is about 15 minutes long in a 45 minute video.

Here is the "cut to the chase" starting point:

He recommends you practice before you put the hammer down on your physician(s).

Thanks.

Would you be able to summarize what he’s saying?

[SteveH]

thank you.

i did some probing of my hmo doctor by PM this past Saturday evening on getting HCQ + Zpack for a relative if the need developed, using arguments somewhat similar to Scott’s, or should i try some other hospital instead. In my case I had the advantage that I actually recall receiving some HCQ for an upcoming visit to a malaria infested area many years ago from the hmo (and i invited my doctor to look it up).

the answer i got back was along the lines of “don’t worry, just see our infectious disease specialist” if/when the need arises. it was not exactly the most encouraging answer possible given that covid-19 does have a definite non-zero mortality rate for those with pre-existing conditions such as my relative.

i have little doubt that what scott said about doctors hoarding some HCQ for themselves and their families is true. i had no side effects when I took it.

However, my HMO does not have the best reputation when it comes to emergency room level treatment for pneumonia symptoms:

so i am developing alternative plans.
