Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak
In the current context of the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic on French territory and worldwide. In accordance with the Hippocratic Oath that we have taken, we obey our duty as a doctor. We provide our patients with the best care for the diagnosis and treatment of a disease. We respect the rules of the art and the most recently acquired data of medical science.
We have decided : · For all febrile patients who come to consult us, to carry out tests for the diagnosis of infection with Covid 19; · For all infected patients, many of whom are not very symptomatic, have lung lesions on the CT scan, to propose the disease as soon as possible, as soon as the diagnosis is made: - a treatment with the hydroxychloroquine combination (200 mg x 3 per day for 10 days) + Azithromycin (500 mg on the 1st day then 250 mg per day for 5 more days), as part of the precautions for use of this association (including an electrocardiogram on D0 and D2), and outside of marketing authorization. In cases of severe pneumonia, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is also used.
We believe that it is not ethical that this association should not be systematically included in therapeutic trials concerning the treatment of Covid-19 infection in France.

It’s refreshing to see some people respect the oath they have taken. Now, if only we could get our Congress critters to follow suit.
febrile — showing a fever
WHAT IS STOPPING PHYSICIANS FROM PRESCRIBING ANT-MALARIAL DRUGS TO STOP COVID19 TO PEOPLE WITH A FEVER IMMEDIATELY? ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE CDC TO DO 2YEARS OF TRIALS?
No doubt that the hydroxychloroquinine treatment alone may not be sufficient to overcome the condition precipitated by the viral infection, especially for elderly people like myself. The ZithroMax treatment has worked to restore normal function in less than two days for myself after weeks of illness that could not be dealt with by over-the-counter medications, and was turning worse.

Can only use FDA approved drugs specifically for the malady. Otherwise can normally face penalties.
Studies available to FDA but so far insisting on normal double blind testing by them. ‘Rice bowl’ syndrome on full display.
