Johnny, the quote from Happiness is  from a friend of ours who is down in Brazil in the middle of it. The info is from the docs at the hospital . Her husband is still in ICU. Now off the trach support for short periods of time. Estimates to her are 6 weeks recovery. No gov info just from the grassroots.

drd,the story that you tell above is the exact reason that when I had my own practice,I did see pregnant ladies. It is truly scary to try to treat them.Johnray1 

RC,this is really none of my business and I have never had a problem with you.But I do not know why drd has not responded to your advice.He is probably to nice of a guy. drd took two patients that their doctor who should have seen them,was afraid to.I would also have been afraid to. But drd took on this resposibility,mostly likely out of a sense of duty.He will make his own determination of what to do with what he has avalible to work with. Any doctor who does not at least occssionally call another doctor ,in another field, for advice,is probably not doing his job. I know that I have called specialists many times,instead of guessing. I quess what I am saying is,he is the drd treating these patient,even with advice from some other doctor,drd is still in charge and still responsible. He does not need your advice or mine.If he does,he will call and ask for it. What you have written is insulting to drd. Are you a doctor or some one that thinks that they know everything.Johnray1

Johnray1 and anyone else I may have inadvertently offended
Please accept my apologies, I must have been a little tired last night and regretted writing this soon after I wrote it. I know you know there are women docs, I just thought you didn't know that Dr. d is a woman (or so it has been posted here) so I was cleverly (sic) pointing it out. I think I should go back to lurking, I apologize again. I appreciate what you, RC, Med and everyone else does here to try to help but find that I am not contributing so much and usually annoying :)  I think I will sit back and learn.
Of course you know there are women in medicine. apologies again.

RC no duh OF COURSE I exhausted all other avenues. Including getting the Medical head of the epi section involved. She was able to get a fire lit and the two ladies have been taken care of. HOWEVER..there are NO rapids readily available at the health dept or at any other MDs office at the present time. Even Quest and Labcorp reported that they were out of them.

The boys Mother.

Dr. John got it. Skye running a fever. Isn't this summer?
Labcorp ...  We may be seeing second wave. Yea, me too.. always surrounded by kids- we live in a small mini mansion.. and summertime this is playground central. Downstairs - I am at home is an afternoon at where to go when people are bored.  I have ceased trying to avoid it.

So half the family on side we are urging to SIP- as in - do not come over.. okay. Are you in peds Dr. D. What's the deal here? What is this August bug? A fair share of GI stuff- temps-
I am stressed about Skye...As his dad does, could go up to 105- and then we will have to swab him down with alcohol.

Anything happening in your neck of the woods?

Medclinician

mine said the SAME thing :)    and not to immerse them either as it is too much...just parts of the body....like keep the upper part coverd and one leg while using the tepid washcloth (soft) on one leg... put the sheet over that leg... do the next.
