Health
“I don’t care if they listen. My own family doesn’t listen. They only come to me, at the last minute.”
a. you do care. Yo u take every opportunity to pad yourself as “working in a health field” and putting down others “obviously you arent in healthcare” so that people should view you more as an expert.
A better way to achieve that would be to source your medical claims than to just say “trust me I’m a health care worker”
b. If you dont care then you don’t care thats fine too of course. I’m just answering your question as to why you should provide sources. Though perhaps a disclaimer would be nice. “I dont care if they listen” and ” I dont care if what I say is true”
“As a doc are you going to tell the pts. the ideas from the AAPS, even though (acc. to you) they’re a relatively obscure group?”
No of course not. There are literally thousands of “medical associations” I don’t think every proclomation by all of them warrants being shared. Especially if not built on sound data.
Again, just to be clear since although Imentioned this over a dozen times on variosu threads, it is a while since I have. I am not opposed to giving HCQ nor zinc nor both. I am SOLELY responding to the OP “Does anyone understand why doctors don’t want to give hydroxychloroquine even though it is working throughout the country ”
I don;t think government regulating agency should stop doctors from giving a treatment that they think will work. nor do I think doctors are bad for not giving a treatment that isnt based on any solid evidence.
In fact I have prescribed HCQ yes with zinc
