There certainly seems to be gathering evidence the initial response to this has been wrong. I’m not casting blame, this thing is new, but it is another example of how important it is to think outside the box, trust what you see and keep an open mind to data-points which don’t fit the narrative.
Unfortunately, we live in a narrative driven world, where actual facts are hard to find. One narrative relies on the reporting of another narrative and words become facts, without any substance.
Folks who die from this thing must die a horrible death. Very tragic and they must die alone. Yet the statistics show folks die from tragic things routinely, suicide, drug overdoses, car accidents and we as a society do little....at least comparatively to actually fight these things.
here are the facts:
I have treated now more than 20 ventilated patients without a single death. I have treated them according to ARDS (severe) standard. There is nothing new here. I am speaking from direct clinical experience at bedside. The worst thing in the world is when people jump on bandwagons and speak with authority that is neither authentic nor earned. I will take my clinical results against any theory that is not standard treatment.
