Playing catch up today. Day 11 “…unless it’s ’visibly soiled.’ Like we could see Corona.” I’ve been known to flirt with the LD50 of caffeine, but this morning I’m slipping it some tongue. I’m status post two pieces of 100mg caffeine gum and a cup of coffee by 6:30AM. I hit 70 on the back roads heading towards the hospital in the minutes just after sunrise. There’s practically no other cars around. My AirPods stream Andrew W.K.’s “Ready to Die.” A tasteless choice, sure, but it fits the energy of the day so far. The 73M with multiple comorbidities who developed an NSTEMI, and who tested positive for COVID 4 days after testing negative has steadily been declining in the SICU. He’s refusing his medications despite his seasoned ICU nurse using the full spectrum of asking, demanding, and sternly admonishing him on his nonadherence. She even broke out the fake tears, she told me. She doesn’t do that for everyone. But no dice. More importantly he’s doing poorly on a nonrebreather (NRB). If he takes the mask off, his sats drop to the 70s, a value you might guess correctly to be incompatible with life. He’s a little altered and he’s been put on dilaudid and a wrist restraint. Just the one, a CVA left the left arm safely useless. One of the interns asks me what the plan was for our patient here. “Palliative has a Goals of Care meeting with his family today. Our only plan is to keep him alive long enough for them to sign the DNI/DNR.” I can blame the caffeine, I can justify it by saying his prognosis was dire and it’s reasonable to think Ok, We Tried, but I scare myself a little with how low my empathy’s dimmer switch is set. But I don’t know how else to deal with this. The recommended treatment guidelines changed, yet again. Azithromycin is now actively counter-indicted for COVID patients. We take him off it. Steroids, which as of yesterday were counter-indicated for COVID are now the standard of treatment for all patients on NRB. We start him on Solu-Medrol 1.5mg/kg divided BID. For all the good that will do. He’s also well past the 5 days of Plaquenil / hydroxychloroquine. You know, that drug that was supposed to solve this whole crisis? We all remember that right? I’ve got photographic proof we used to believe it would work. Look up the March 17th (or Day -5, if you’d like) National Enquirer cover. CORONAVIRUS CURES FINALLY FOUND! Warning! Surgical masks SPREAD INFECTION! Take a look at every single intubated patient’s medical orders and you’ll see they either completed or are on Plaquenil and azithromycin. And people still think we have any handle on this other than jamming tubes down throats and waiting. No one will believe the history of this thing when it’s over. The patient passed that afternoon. His daughters had signed a DNI/DNR right before. … I’m reminded of an intro Stephen King wrote for one of his books, where he writes about fear: "The shape is there, and most of us come to realize what it is sooner or later: it is the shape of a body under a sheet. All our fears add up to one great fear, all our fears are part of that great fear - an arm, a leg, a finger, an ear. We're afraid of the body under the sheet. It's our body. … And [the writer] takes your hand and he enfolds it in his own and he takes you into the room and he puts your hands on the shape under the sheet… and he tells you to touch it here… here… and here…" A quarter million Americans (at least) are going to become bodies under sheets in the span of one or two months. And we’re talking about returning to work and a “miracle” ending to this in nine days. Wake up and feel the corpses. (PS: Yes, I owe Stephen King a royalty check given how much I crib his writing style.)

KaptainKrunk posted:we are never, ever going to count the deaths in our nursing homes this is why i think we're seeing more "young people die" in the south. they're going to hospitals. the rural olds are very isolated and very likely dying in their homes and the problem is just overall much worse than whats being recorded there.

louisiana has 60 nursing homes with cases but the dept of health isn’t saying which ones anymore thanks to lobbying by the nursing home industry

SKULL.GIF posted:excess mortalities are hard to count right now since a huuuuuuuge portion of our deaths are from car culture Most of out deaths from car culture are long-term effects that lead to chornic illnesses, most of which coincidentally also make someone more likely to die from coronavirus. Nobody driving for 2 weeks doesn't solve obesity or make up for decades of breathing in noxious fumes.

learned a fun fact about the pulp mill that supplies 3M in the states with the pulp needed for the N95 masks: they're worker owned after the employees and local investors bought out the previous owners when after 2008. https://www.timescolonist.com/business/harmac-mill-is-thriving-decade-after-rescue-by-its-employees-1.23426829
