SARS-CoV-2 (AKA COVID-19) and Me

In 2020 in March Covid-19 began to appear in the two hospitals I worked at. As a hypertensive, circumferentially challenged, seasoned physician it seemed obvious I would succumb to the illness based on proposed risk factors for death.

After two weeks of treating Covid-19 patients, at the bedside and admitting them through the ER I was still alive and no more tired than usual. After a month I began to think something was protecting me. Initially I thought it might be the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan that I was on. When I learned more I began to suspect it was my 5000 units of Vitamin D a day that kept my level in the 50’s that was protecting me. Now I wonder if by the time we were admitting patients usually in their second week of being ill, if they were no longer even infectious. During the two years 2020 and 2021, I had four head colds conveniently during my off weeks. Perhaps one was COVID-19.

In July 2021 somehow the information blockade broke and I learned about Ivermectin and other repurposed drugs from the Front Line Critical Care Covid-19 Alliance physicians. (FLCCC.net – a website well worth your time.) I started ordering Ivermectin for my patients and other medications on the FLCCC protocol. It was a timeconsuming effort as the hospital software sought to block items due to dose being “too high.” Of course the program had no knowledge to justify obstructing my efforts but it did. Then I noticed that Ivermectin was being stopped the next day in the ICU and sometimes by my colleagues on the floor when I was admitting patients at night. By August, 2021 I was so disturbed at this absurd state I tendered my resignation. I explained in my resignation letter that at some point the public would understand that Ivermectin treated Covid-19 and be perturbed with doctors and hospitals who had denied patients potentially life saving therapy. I was forced to work out my 90 day notice although I offered to quit immediately.

No one has ever given me an argument to justify not using Ivermectin. The studies denouncing it are flawed deliberately. For details on that go to the FLCCC.net site. For the general lay of the land read Robert F. Kennedy’s excellent book: THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI – available for $2.99 on iBooks and Amazon.

In September 2021 I began to take Ivermectin prophylactically after a five day course for a head cold that featured a headache and convinced me I must have “Delta”. I never bothered getting tested for COVID-19 as the drugs given in the hospital didn’t seem to help and if you were not hypoxic and not getting therapy what difference did it make? If a test doesn’t change therapy then don’t order the test unless you are in a research protocol. That is a fundamental rule of cost effective medicine.

Since resigning I have learned about the extra money hospitals were given to administer expensive patented medications of dubious benefit, the extra funds for putting patients on ventilators, and the rewards for percentage of staff vaccinated. I would have been out of hospital work on the basis that I would not take the mRNA emergency use injections but I had already resigned before the mandates began.

Hospitals, health insurance companies, and the Federal alphabet agencies all working together to deny patients safe and effective repurposed drug therapy for COVID-19 was a great shock to me. I cannot explain nor justify why so many physicians went along with it. Many have not. You can get the truth but it is made needlessly difficult by the falsehoods spread throughout the internet and sadly in medical education and formerly respected journals as well.

My skepticism is on high alert now. The greatest value in becoming my patient may not be having a doctor on call who can prescribe Ivermectin for you but knowing someone who may be able to warn you against the next government sponsored health care scam. The censorship of data and discussion on the internet makes having some other reliable information source more important than ever. I hope at TrueMedicineTelehealth.com to be that source for up to 300 patients.
