Our soldier son has received multiple temporary exemptions from all vaccines until he gets a diagnosis for a lung condition which he developed after contracting hemorrhagic dengue fever in Honduras. His exemption ends Feb 28. It was extended several times and the ICOR Surgeon General said it will not be extended again. Due to all the covid BS, he cannot get any testing done to diagnose the lung condition. Our soldier has informed his wife that this is the hill he will die on, if needed. (He will not take the jab.) The way that our military personnel are treated is horrible! We were not aware until the last few years. It is a terrible stain on our country.
Take a weekend off out of town. Do something to make himself winded. Go to a civilian ER with SOB and chest pain. Chest pain pts are priority. A chest X-ray should be part of the work up. But throw in some left arm/jaw pain or numbness for the added impression of heart attack. Should get a cardiac and somewhat of a pulmonary work up. This could extend his deadline—possibly. Be sure to include his pulmonary damage d/t the denguefever. Be prepared to spend the nite. Take advantage and let the chips fall as they will. Very often we have to tell patients to leave our rural area and travel to the city and go straight to the ER even when we have a diagnosis especially when pts are uninsured and their need is a specialty unavailable in the local area.
