Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Eh...maybe. my body jerked a little on that first snip. They gave me a little more medicine before the second one.

Don't scare the guy. That's why I didn't tell him about the line of smoke and smell of burning flesh. Didn't want to scare him. Try being supportive @allvol123

Drs office called me today and said my physical tomorrow will have to be over FaceTime, they’re not doing in person visits until October. I asked how in the hell can he give a physical over the damn phone, girl said she didn’t know but said I was welcome to find another Dr.

Just ridiculous. We haven't missed a day in the office, and we continued with full preventive care throughout.

Change physicians, and let your old office know that they are failing their patients.

I found my technique to be the easiest.

Are you gonna plaster your nutsack up against the monitor for the hernia test? And the prostate exam will be… problematic ?

I’m going to look for another one.

I just assumed he always has anyways

When they canceled it last year I wasn’t too upset.

It would have sucked more if they had canceled it after you did your bowel prep.

Thats the technique @kiddiedoc just mentioned

I got a borescope, speculum and confidentiality. I'll give you the scoop on your poop chute.

Fauci: Early use of monoclonal antibodies can cut risk of hospitalization, death up to 85%

Great, so why isnt there a Warp speed version of getting this in place everywhere?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Not exactly. I just cancelled mine, "accidentally" made a third baby, then had our OB tie my wife's tubes while she was open for the C-section.

It was much more comfortable for me, but it has cost a good bit more.

There is, in Florida

Yea, but why not everywhere.

Btw, not sure how reliable Worldometer numbers are but Florida posted a total of 7 deaths the past 2 days combined.

Playing the long game. Nice.

I tested positive for C19 yesterday. I’m fully vaccinated but due for a booster - as a health care worker, my second dose was in early January.

Thus far, my symptoms are mild - a little drainage and some minor fatigue. Because I’m asthmatic and overweight, I qualified for monoclonal antibody therapy. My infusion was this morning.

I’m resting, taking care of myself and hoping the vaccine and monoclonal antibody therapy help me fight off this nasty bug.

I would encourage you to get vaccinated if you haven’t. I literally have been nowhere but my home and my office. My husband works from home. But I somehow picked up Delta. It’s just that contagious. Stay safe and healthy, fellow Vols.

Stay strong and get healthy. Prayers your way. Hope you have an easy go of it and beat it quickly. Glad you got the antibodies too that seems to make a world of difference.

We switched to Vandy from St Thomas.

Wife is happy. Feels it’s better care.

God grant you a swift and full recovery, ohhbother!

Somebody might be needed to repopulate the Earth in a few years...

Prayers for a mild course and speedy recovery. Glad you got MAb infusion, sounds like you are a perfect candidate.

Rest up and have peace that you will have the best kind of immunity in a couple of weeks!

Kiddiedoc, are medically-fragile children eligible for monoclonal antibody therapy? Do you know whether it is safe for the developing fetus when administered to expectant mothers?

 

[Carl Pickens]

I believe I’d have to face the consequences and tell her to shove it right up her big dumb ass

Yes, 12+ with qualifying risk factors.

From the ACOG website:

Monoclonal antibody treatments have not been tested in a pregnant population specifically and more data are needed in order to make a clear recommendation for this population. Currently, various monoclonal antibody treatments are available only under emergency use authorization (EUA) and recommended for the treatment of outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are at high risk of clinical progression as defined by the EUA criteria (NIH 2021). Pregnancy is now included among the conditions that put individuals at high risk for clinical progression, making patients with pregnancy as their only risk factor eligible to receive outpatient monoclonal antibodies, according to the EUA (NIH 2021). Obstetric care clinicians may consider the use of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of non-hospitalized pregnant individuals, particularly if one or more additional risk factors are present (e.g. BMI ≥30, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease).
