In pneumonia, any kind, there is so much inflammation that at this point it is a physical deformity.

Try adding a medication to a car accident mutilation. Will that fix the problematic deformity?

You can’t. There is no airway.

No doctor or hospital is against you seeking your own physician for early treatment.

In fact, we have given vaccine exemptions to staff, and have allowed patients to bring in ivermectin.

If it’s brought up we ignore it.

That has not impacted care, and mostly these people continue to need support. If ivermectin would have prevented hospitalization, it should have.

Case in point:

My admit two days ago. RN, had his own ivermectin prescription by a family doctor. He had been sick for three weeks and taking decadron, ivermectin and a z pack.

Yet, he was feeling dizzy and came in. All prescriptions were over by the day before he came in. So he had a full treatment course yet he was not fully better.

This was week 4 last night. He’s dropping into the low 80s and I’m helping him prone which helps but I keep having to gown up and go in there to increase his O2.

He wanted to go home today and we want him to, because he wants to. The dizzy spells were a heart issue. This after his treatment course.

I suspect he has more ivermectin and has gotten what he’s wanted so far. No remdesivir because he’s refused. We have a large blackboard and it says to ask before bringing in remdesivir because not everyone wants it.

There is no pressure and we do care. We abide patient wishes and are compassionate and caring.

He can go home, with a heart arrhythmia and we would let him. It’s up to him. Yet his lungs don’t have breath sounds and are largely unchanged. It’s wall to wall inflammation and this since he was admitted.

Adding a medication to these changes to his lungs won’t help. His lungs will be full of scar tissue and won’t ever be the same.

If I listen to any other patient I hear breath sounds.

Not covid patients. They have lungs that won’t let air in, full of inflammation. That’s why it takes many weeks and why they get blown out.

Imagine a thumb hit in a door that blows up three sizes. Covid blows the lungs up ten sizes and stays like that for months. When it recedes, the lungs are filled with scar tissue.

Pray for them, I do.
