Covid Continues

We have as many covid+ patients now as we had in the initial surge. The problem is they’re just not getting better like the first surge did. We were part of the remdesivir trial early on, and now we’re giving per the compassionate use allowance of the FDA. We’re also using dexamethasone, as a trial has supported that, and convalescent plasma.

Proned, paralyzed, and praying for recovery…

But yet here we find ourselves, a young gentleman who after ALL these treatments is still not doing better. He’s still paralyzed and prone 16 hours a day, and now his kidneys are failing, requiring initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

The battle is still real. And we are still fighting it.
