"It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”

"Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube and out of his mouth. The ventilator should have been doing the work of breathing but he was still gasping for air, moving his mouth, moving his body, struggling. We had to restrain him. With all the coronavirus patients, we’ve had to restrain them. They really hyperventilate, really struggle to breathe. When you’re in that mindstate of struggling to breathe and delirious with fever, you don’t know when someone is trying to help you, so you’ll try to rip the breathing tube out because you feel it is choking you, but you are drowning."

Cytokine storm.

Pro Publica = Maoist cr@p

Amazing with so few dying that he has so many special cases dying under his care, sniff sniff

Oh, this belongs on the “Just a flu, bro” thread.

[Roccus]

Anybody remember the young lady standing before the UN telling its members of newborn Kuwaiti babies being thrown against walls in delivery rooms?

[BusterDog]

“Oh, this belongs on the “Just a flu, bro” thread.”

It’s the personal story of one FluBro converting, true, but FluBros don’t convert off of things like words and numbers.

Says a third need ICU.

That’s consistent with 15% of confirmed cases need hospitalization and 5% need ICU.

Article withholding doc’s name and employer.

Nuff said.

[crusty old prospector]

What sort of doctor would use the phrase “Holy Shit” in his dialogue? He must be a real cool guy. And stuff.

[JoeRed]

Regarding their source: “We are withholding his name and employer, as he fears retaliation.”
Riiiiiight...

[ConservativeMind]

This is a terrible doctor. The patient should be put under and on their stomach roughly 14 hours.

The death rate for this doctor’s approach is 40+%. If he did what studies say to do the past ten years, the death rate drops to 15% at this stage.

This is an idiot doctor.

After looking at the abive, I’m calling BS on this story.

Propublica is Soros funded.

“Cytokine storm.”

Very well could be a significant contributor to the ARDS.

Retaliation??

Possible Solution:

Shutdown all nonessential industries for 14 days... (maximum incubation period).

After shutdown open all companies.

By law each company has people stationed at work place entrance taking temperatures. Those with a temperature are taken to medical care facilities (free medical care, paid co-pays, excess charges covered etc) - proactive care reduces extreme care - saving supplies and costs for those who really need them.

Grocery stores and pharmacies also take temperatures of all people entering.

This saves lives AND the economy. It’s a modified Singapore system...

Pro Publica is a Soros front organization.

Louisiana, hmmm. FairGrounds is still running the Louisiana Derby today.

[Zuriel]

Any pre existing conditions?

He basically says he is fighting in the front lines of this. No name of this med professional/doc?

Hopefully he is not related Richard Blumenthal or Jussie Smollett.
