    Reality catches up. (Rant about healthcare system)

    HOT! MINDSET RANT 
    What really bothers me is that my family has to pay $25 for a primary care visit and $50 to see a specialist. My son has some complex medical issues, so he needs quite a lot of medical care - including physical therapy sessions, which we're capped at 35 per year even though he requires 2x per...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    At this point, I truly believe everyone was told it was ok to stop wearing masks only because they fully intended to mandate them again later, blaming the unvaxinated. I just love the division they're working so hard to create. Divide and conquer, right? Ugh...

    I'm a Doctor Who Has C0VlD-19. AMA

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    Thank you for posting this! It's super helpful. So, in your medical opinion, masks don't really help to reduce transmission (in terms of asymptomatic people wearing them)? Have you seen a lot of children with it? I have a 5-year-old with very severe asthma induced by viral infections like...

    Yup...in fact, just a couple of short months ago we were being told the masks are ineffective and may even be harmful to us. Either they're incompetent or lying to us...I'm going with both.

    I think he means if you purposely expose yourself, then you should assume you have it even if asymptomatic - and thus quarantine yourself. Of course, not everyone who would then quarantine would actually have it, but it would reduce asymptomatic transmission a lot. As far as the depression and...

    The thing is that the hospitals in the vast majority of places didn't become overwhelmed - not even close. Instead, nurses have been told to go home because they didn't have enough patients to care for. So, the reason we were told to stay home didn't pan out and we're still being told to stay...

    The IHMe projections have been revised yet again, now predicting over 134,000 deaths in the US. They're blaming the relaxing of social distancing for their incorrect numbers before. Great, except what about the states that still haven't really relaxed social distancing? I understand we have...

    I was watching this video by Dr. Erikson and Dr. Massihi. I really, really want what they're saying about the lethality rate of COVID vs the flu to be accurate. However, to me it seems like they are taking completely different numbers for each illness. For COVID, they are using the total...

    Yes! I've been explaining this to people until I'm blue in the face, and no one seems to grasp the concept. They seem to think that if we just stay home for a few more weeks, we will be able to get rid of the virus completely, or at least almost completely. Unfortunately, this virus probably...

    That's awesome that they had the rapid tests available. I hope we have them in my hospital when I deliver. Thank you! It's always good to hear others' experiences, since it's turned into such a scary thing. I'm only 33 weeks right now, so I'm hoping the infection rates will be reduced by then.

    No one here is taking this nearly seriously enough. Local businesses are setting up 'day camps' for the kids who are out of school. Parents are planning playdates and going to the park.

    Thank you for the videos! One of the scariest things about this virus is the unknown, but the limited case studies at least seem positive. I can ask about the medication shortages, but given that there are so many drug-seeking patients, I'm not sure they will comply. I actually still have some...
