Screw Cleveland and his stasi.
Was the good Dr. Cleveland always following evidence-based medicine when he practiced in his store-front weight loss practice?
So is he now singled handedly deciding how Physicians will treat their patients. Hope the families remember this when they file any malpractice case. He needs to let the MD's of MS practice medicine as they see fit.
Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses cause the majority of common colds and play a part in more serious respiratory illnesses that lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Patients who are infants or elderly, have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or are immunosuppressed have increased frequency of rhinovirus-related respiratory complications. Newer diagnostic tests such as reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) have greatly expanded our understanding of the importance of these respiratory viruses. Although there are no currently approved antiviral agents for clinical use, our increased understanding of the virus-host interaction should lead to new intervention strategies.
Fuck Ken Cleveland.
This is obvious a response to something. I'm curious as to what the offender was/is doing.
Yeah, how dare the medical board prevent physicians from conducting drug experiments on their patients.
Fairly sure he owns a liquor store on the side...
Doesn't everyone want a good ole Lysol injection and some HydroxyQuack? The audacity of some rules guy thinking doctors should follow the rules! Rules are for Thee and not for me!
It says "giving advice" not treatment. My guess is inconsistent advice coming from docs on how long to isolate or quarantine if positive...how many people can come to a party, etc. those are the things covered in the orders from the Gov and Health department...nothing about what kind of treatment a doctor can provide.
There is a vocal (Karen) contingent within the State Medical Assn. that is bent out of shape about schools holding “in-person” class and the various quarantine protocols these schools are using. They pushed the Licensure Board to issue this “notice.” In other words, straighten up comrades.
This is the board’s answer to nurse practitioners stating their opinions on social media.
Some moonshine, a jar full of leeches and a good old fashioned bleeding got me over tha' covid in four months.
These City Dockters don't know noth'n.
I've read/approved hundreds of letters, directives, and proclamations from dozens of state agencies. It's inconceivable how anyone anywhere would have an issue with this letter. It's a letter providing guidance from a state agency tasked with providing guidance. It's well within their scope of work to issue this. It's not a mandate and it doesn't say anything crazy.
If you're objecting to anything in this one-paragraph letter then you're pushing another agenda. Some of these comments clearly show a personal bias against the ED, and don't even address the issue. WTH.
Looks a lot like an association that's gotten too big for their britches.
Shine a really bright light on some of these shady treatments! So, we'll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute - that's pretty powerful.
Great point 10:21 Only In Mississippi would we promote someone who used to sell snake oil weight loss shots and pills to lecture us. If I get Covid give me Hydro, or the Stuff trump got. Ill give it a try.
My secondhand information is that Dr. Dobbs asked Dr. Cleveland to make this announcement. Evidently, physicians have been advising school boards and other entities with opinions that were not what Dr. Dobbs have been recommending. This is not about individual patient physician treatment decisions. Dr. Dobbs has the Authority to regulate public health entities but he does not have the ability to constrain physician speech, nor does Dr. Cleveland. This is largely a toothless letter. However, it does is expose the ego of petty dictators and I don’t think that is Dr. Cleveland. I political parlance he would just be a useful idiot.
