Covid-19

I'd like to think doctors would have better things to do but this explains why many family doctors in Ontario still refuse to see patients in person.
I don't even need to look at the data to come up with my own hypothesis. Vaccinated are more likely to hide in their bubbles and are more hesitant to drive, resulting in less crashes.

What a garbage study. “Simple immune activation against a coronavirus, for example, has no direct effect on the risk of a motor vehicle crash,” but also "hey, let's do a study to prove how stupid anti-vax'ers are. Correlation = causation!!"
 
I’m all about telemedicine when appropriate, but as a layman I wonder how many “larger” issues are missed because you aren’t face-to-face with your doc. Eh, I guess mortality rates in 20 years can tell that tale.

Already happened and continuing, because they refuse to acknowledge actual science because they are stuck in the covid "science" bubble. I personally know of 3 people in their 30's and 40's with a stage 4 diagnosis.

Delayed or missed health care may have led to thousands of non-COVID-19 related deaths during pandemic: report

Not to mention the loss of confidence in government and the medical field, which is going to manifest itself the next time there's a big health scare.

What gets missed depends on assessment algorithms and provider experience, as well as nature of patient complaint. There's pretty good data supporting telemedicine, but to a point.

Telemedicine isn't new, but has definitely been pushed out since COVID.
 
@Devildoc hope it's just your generic crud and it clears up.

My wife's work had their first client Christmas party on Friday, since the pandemic. First covid outbreak in a year, across multiple independent and community living building's, as well as staff. There may have been a lot of "socializing", initiated by the female addictions treatment clients; that showed up without underwear.
Good thing the wife is high enough, she doesn't get stuck running events and wasn't there.
 
BUT BUT BUT GUYS. WE SHOULD ALWAYS POST LINKS AND NEVER DISCOUNT VERIFIED PEER REVIEWED SCIENCE BECAUSE IF WE DO THAT WE UNDERMINE GOOD ORDER AND DISCIPLINE OF SOCIETY.

This is why I can give zero fucks about the "medical community" and "scientific community" anymore. Just ridiculous.

Why don't we have a universally accepted "sarcasm" font yet? We have the technology. It takes me too long to MaKe WoRdS lOoK like that.
 
Get better doc.

Just got back to station. Medic call to local urgent care in neighboring Township for chest pain/altered mental status, 74 female.

Get there, 74 female, alert and oriented. Positive for rona, cold s/sx only, no resp. distress or chest pain, only chest discomfort with breathing/coughing, pulse ox 98%, stable vitals, clear lung sounds, medical h/x of stuff.

No family, urgent care doc called PCP, PCP orders ED eval.

Pt. states: I don't see people, I have 5 vaccines, including pneumococcal, all of it, I wear masks, how did I get sick and why can't urgent care treat me?

Great question. This is why EDs are busy, this fucking bullshit. Its not the ladies fault. Urgent care could most likely give that anti-viral Phizer is pushing secondary to pre-existing medical issues/plague positive. No, ship her to ED.

Bold move cotton. Let's see how this plays out.
 
I'm still seeing nurses and paramedics I know that have virtue signaled, continue to do so on social media.

I had one nurse tell me, when I was not wearing a mask, "oh, please wear a mask, wear 2! We are so overwhelmed, we are tired. This is so vital we do what the CDC and leaders tell us for our safety".

My response? Wow, you really fell for it, huh? Lord Fauci renting space in your head.

"Oh honey, why don't you just go ahead and wear a third mask for me? It will be just as effective."

Took my pop to eye doctor a few months back, the front desk lady told my pop he needed to put a second mask on.

My pops response, in his no filtered attitude?

Lady, fuck you with your mask shit, take my fucking co pay.

Crickets.

I knew this happened but forgot. As some may know, I'm a huge American revolution Era nerd, born/raised Philly. When my mom beat lung cancer, she wanted to do dinner here, my pop and I were planning with Maria to take my mom there, but, mom had a stroke and died not long after. My mom loved Walter Staib and had his cook books.

Anyway, fucking Philly and their gay covid mandates destroyed this and many other places. The anger this causes me wants to see those responsible, suffer. God damn cunts.
