Do you see any dates of treatment? I didn’t. There can’t be too many because the disease has only been here for a few weeks. For him to have collected 500 patients or 350 or whatever he must have “formed his study group” very recently. He claimed people who were not terribly ill if they were all outpatients. His end point is “shed virus”. That may imply an outcome but it is damn far from proving anything. I have read this pathetic email 5 times now and each one was a waste of damn time.
OK. We each have our own approach.
My take is he is the doctor of this community and his 1st obligation was to keep them safe. In a patient sample of 350 he did not have one that needed to be hospitalized.
He thought that it was important that other doctors have knowledge of his patient experience for whatever use they could make of it. He is not a researcher, not pretending to be one.
Doctors are taught to share their case experience if it is unusual or could be useful to the medical community at large.
If you can afford to discard this knowledge rather than using it as grist for the mill, as part of the data using these drugs for COVID-19, that’s fine, up to you. Were I on this firing line I would appreciate having this data.
