Now that we can't get paxlovid through legimate ways, the next step is to find somebody in India and have them smuggle generic paxlovid overseas

If you're lucky enough to have doctors that don't suck and don't lie to you, then maybe you get to have exciting conversations like the one I just had with our childs' doctor at their annual checkup. The context I set was that kiddo has missed 18 days of school and I know for a fact that I myself have had fever ~>100F 40 times this year, and that it's been worrying and disruptive and makes me wonder if there's any value in seeing a specialist even if expensive / out of state. This isn't verbatim but lots of the phrasing is: "I believe that what we're seeing with you and your child isn't an individual problem, it's part of a broader community problem we see locally and nationally of children and adults getting sick more frequently, for longer. If you wish to pursue any kind of specialized care for yourself or your child, now or in the future, and have located any specialists you feel might be helpful, we will be happy to sign whatever referrals. But, I can tell you, the sorts of cases I'm familiar with where we have ourselves encouraged those referrals, look very different than what you're experiencing, which is largely in line with what we see in the community at large. Therefore, I don't think it's very likely that any specialists I am aware of, would have anything to offer".

What. Are they saying "yep, everyone is getting sick, but since everyone is sick that's now normal so we're not going to do anything"? Lmao

NeonPunk posted:What. Are they saying "yep, everyone is getting sick, but since everyone is sick that's now normal so we're not going to do anything"? I read it a lot more as "everyone is getting sick but we don't know why and I'm not aware of anyone that's going to give you more useful information at any price point". It felt pretty black-pilled to me. I pointed out that back in early 2020 I was reading causes for concern from credentialed immunlogists that COVID appeared to pose a unique risk of immune system damage and that it feels to me like we're seeing the results of that; she gave me a somewhat haunted look at said absolutely nothing to try to dissuade me or make me feel like I was saying anything extreme. So -- what can someone in that position do for me? They're a pediatrician in a small town, they're seeing all the same stuff we are (and then some, I would imagine, it's not that small a town and it was clear that they'd personally made long COVID clinic referrals). There's a lot of things and individuals to be enraged at but I don't have anything but respect and gratitude (and sympathy) for most of the local healthcare I encounter.

Tbh they're not really telling us anything surprising, that there is no treatment for the immune system damage of long covid. The other option is you see a specialist and they charge you hundreds of dollars for counseling on handwashing and a High C prescription

Psycho Society posted:Tbh they're not really telling us anything surprising, that there is no treatment for the immune system damage of long covid. The other option is you see a specialist and they charge you hundreds of dollars for counseling on handwashing and a High C prescription I completely agree. I don't think there's anything better that any local-level medical provider or other person can do, and the statement that our sickness looks "different" than the people they are pushing to refer is a reflection of the severity/complexity of those cases, not a reflection that what's going on with everyone else is okay. I was not being sarcastic when I said I thought I was getting good information from reasonable people; there's pretty hard limits to what they will allow themselves to say on the clock but I know my PCP well enough socially to know he doesn't think I am a kook and is basically just trying to provide the best medical care he can to the people who show up to see him, given the realities of the world we're in. During this recent visit I referred to the current state of affairs as "our current plague-riddled hellscape" and that didn't even raise an eyebrow. These people are used to me being vitriolic but also I've been in there enough and had enough contact with them to have a pretty good idea where they stand.

I don't expect doctors to refer for the diagnosis of "looks like your immune system got imploded by the second-order effects of social collapse" but I do expect them to give actionable advice (like wearing a mask) since that's an individual intervention that is cheap, accessible, and effective.

That's a lockdown and will lead to immunity debt.

I'd already made it clear that we have those conversations and it would vastly be my preference that kiddo mask at school, but there's only 2-3 kids out of ~120 that do and she is socially uncomfortable enough about it and already with a fairly small friend group, that it doesn't seem useful to me to push it  If she doesn't actually want to do it then she's not going to care about doing it well enough to make a difference. The only real alternative I see is homeschooling. I had also already told the doc about everything we've done to soup up air filtration in the house, separate sleeping arrangements during any illness, etc. She may give other people basic lectures on PPE, I am unsure, my starting point was "we have 2 corsi cubes at home and I am contacts with the guy who built the ones the school uses". e: and this poo poo does work to some extent, in that, during 2023-2024 there have been illnesses one kid got and not anyone else, or one kid and I got and no one else did; in 2022-2023 it was more or less whole house sickness every time. Masks work, isolation works, air exchange works. But every day is a barrage of exposure. Cabbages and Kings has issued a correction as of 17:40 on Apr 16, 2024 |

The medical establishment cannot in good faith recommend wearing a mask as they never did a RCT to validate the medical benefits of it. We just don't know anything and we don't want to find out

I'm not saying it's easy, the individual, to do the intervention. Not all individuals with access to an intervention are ever going to do it, and they may well choose not to and suffer as a result. Doctors have a limited amount of influence on whether the interventions an individual can do actually get done. There are many hellworld-related reasons why those things that are on the shelf might not get used. However, reminding people of the available interventions to protect and improve health is literally the first and highest job of primary care medicine. Doctors not doing that with masks is as much a dereliction of duty as a doctor not telling someone with type-2 diabetes to watch the sugar intake carefully, or not reminding guys in their 30s to start fibermaxing before they get rear end cancer, or not reminding a parent about their kids' childhood vaccination schedules.

tangential doctor chat I did my annual checkup yesterday. doc was wearing an n95! my blood pressure is at college levels now I did a stupid experiment the last two years. last year I ate whatever I wanted and exercised and my blood pressure was 120/90. this year I didn’t exercise and counted my sodium and sugar intake and got 110/75 this is not to say diet is more important than exercise. I don’t know how many pushups equate to how many teaspoons of salt. but for me, the amount of burgers I was willing to give up gave me better results than the amount of pushups I, Steve Yun, was willing to do

Who’s dying now? Here’s how recent COVID deaths compare to the early months of the pandemic in California In the last six months California saw 3,472 deaths, a fraction of the number that died in the first six months quote:Four years after the start of the COVID pandemic, the age and race of its victims in California have dramatically shifted: Now, a Bay Area News Group analysis finds, those who are dying from the virus are much older, and more often White than Latino, a notable switch. A stirring victory for #healthequity 🥰  quote:First, the virus is much less deadly. In the most recent six months for which data is available, from Sept. 1, 2023, through Feb. 29, 2024, there were 3,472 deaths attributed to the virus in California. But in the first six months of the pandemic, Feb. 1 through Aug. 31, 2020, more than four times that number of Californians died from COVID — 14,648. Damning with faint praise, innit? quote:However small the number, there is one statistical peculiarity: The two youngest age groups are the only ones that saw more deaths in the past six months than early in the pandemic. Fortunately, most economic activity happens in older ages.
