Physicians have had protocols for identifying and treating cytokine storm for weeks and weeks. The easiest way is to test serum ferritin levels. There are also treatments for cytokine storm, including tocilizumab, but they are not perfect. I do find his claim that no patients under his care have died to be dubious, especially given the number of patients he claims to take care of. I don't really understand the purpose of a clinician coming on a show to talk about how their treatment saves lives without outlining plans of treatments or where other clinicians could access them. And regarding those two physicians in California--they are quacks. Claiming that their sample was representative requires either stupidity or mendacity that are both disqualifying of a medical license. |

In a multidisciplinary rounds setting, once a patient stabilizes and is turning the corner social work begins working on placement. Once PT and OT sign off that the patient has a certain baseline level of function, they turf them to an outside facility, whether a rehab center, skilled nursing facility (called a "sniff"), or even home. Placement can be a pain in the ass. I'm glad I never had to deal with it. |

But the part about suppressing the immune system to fight off the storm is similar to how they treat lupus and RA (autoimmune disease)and why HCQ was being tried maybe I am wrong Hamas will correct me lol. |

HCQ was also tried because it raises the pH of certain organelles, which in theory can make viral entry more difficult, but it does have immunomodulatory effects too. |

Perhaps you should have listened to it instead of thinking you knew something about it? |
