Rebuilding What We've Lost in Covid: A Perspective from the ICU

[@juneharvey1662]

Having been a nurse for 50 years ( now retired ) 1 know and believe wholeheartedly what this Dr is truly about . It is infact about compassion and in understanding that medicine really is about seeing a whole person and in listening to their needs and that person is not an object of no choice -I believe many sufferers of Covid would be alive today had they not been isolated from their loved ones .

Years ago, I came down with viral encephalitis and aseptic meningitis. 2 months later I was on my way to recovery, however my brain was still a mess. Hospital prescribed a psychiatrist to help me sort things out, just talking therapy, no meds. I can't tell you how helpful that was, all the hallucinations faded and reality returned.

[@markgivens3225]

Excellent! As a layperson without formal medical education, I found this to be compassionate and informative. Keep up the good work and good messages.

I have treated patients in their homes and in OP rehab as an OT. Their families are often unprepared to care for them, and sometimes unable to effectively care for them. They wouldn't have done better in nursing home rehab, which is a complete joke. And of course, Medicare is not making it impossible for the discharged elderly to get more than a few home sessions. Do every single thing you can to stay out of the ICU, and consider if you want to be intubated. Most of us would rather not be intubated LT. We know what it looks like on the other side. We would be OK being done.

So inspiring. Just wish we could clone Dr. Ely. From a retired nurse.

[@Turtledove2009]

What a remarkable man! It's been an honour to listen to him and to be reminded of the importance of our humanity.

What a refreshing segment

If this intrigued or convicted you, read the book. Give the book as a gift to a nurse or doctor.

The family visit restrictions are a crime. Just a crime. Disgusted by the arbitrary rules.

[@sakinahabdulbari6884]

Thank you.

The absence of Ppe and then last week we saw those places with tens of millions of dollars of ppe wasted outside and at dumps. Wow

I am a retired RN with ICU experience but it was over a decade ago.
Why would a physician even get into a conflict with a family member who requests ivermectin for a patient? It is nontoxic. Why not allow a trial of ivermectin in order to let the patient and the family members understand that you are willing to try everything even though it may be a long shot? How is that not compassionate? I find this rather troubling.

[@kletke88]

There have been many world wide studies on ivermectin, and it has neurotoxic effects if over dosed

[@eawil-sunart]

@@kletke88 you need to do a bit more digging deeper for some more research cutie pie… better yet you’ll see what the vax will do to you in about 6 months

[@eawil-sunart]

@@kletke88 “if” overdosed .. ???? Well let’s not hope these genocidal scum don’t “overdose”

[@Turtledove2009]

@@eawil-sunart I think I you are one of the misinformed he mentioned, which is indeed sad.

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

This is misinformation. Even the idea that trying "anything" is a good idea at the end of life is unprofessional. If you don't understand that the wrong treatment at the end can increase suffering, then I am glad you retired. Your ideas are dangerous. Just stop. If you are a bot, then you got me. I hope you are. Rather a bot than an unprofessional human.

What you need to rebuild is public trust in a deeply broken and corrupt pharmaceutical mafioso. I doubt anybody will be able to do that in this decade.

[@ShaizaShamim]

💯. Thank you so much.

[@andystover5847]

Could you comment of Vinay Prasad and his association with your institution?

[@t.c.s.7724]

Hospital covid treatment was and is criminally negligent.

[@aliceobrien8390]

So let people die, dr do not let a stone unturnrd to save a life and covid is new so thsy are still learning and are dining better now then 2 years ago

[@omarlocke4351]

i hate these people forever for what they’ve done!

[@wizardatmath]

What Have you lost? THE PUBLIC TRUST. Enough of us know about Ivermectin and Hydroxchloroquine, and even about the institutional position on vitamins and minerals. Expect our contempt for your pharmaceutical affiliation to increase.
