@marklewismd Yes. Our office goes through 2 reams of paper a day getting faxes and sending faxes, because different EHR programs won't and can't communicate. Because the manufacturers refuse to make electronic communications work & government agencies turn a blind eye to the problem.

Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus had a stroke at age 24, just reported on the news. She has Lupus, and the risk of a stroke is high in individuals with Lupus. And if she is on oral contraceptives that makes it higher. Let me pre-empt the anti-vaxxers. It's NOT the vaccine.

@ASlavitt So, Andy, the only problem I have with your rational is that so many doses are discarded at the end of the day. In the Coachella Valley, about 50 to 100 per day. Shouldn't there be a way that people can get third shots instead of throwing them away. Some sort of waiting list?.

@sammy4723 They still haven't learned that masks stop the dispersal / inhalation of aerosol particles that contain virus. They point out that a given virus is too small to be blocked. But you don't need to block individual viruses, just the water aerosol particles carrying them.

@DrCanuckMD Kevin Bass made up his mind long ago to expound anti-science. How that was missed by his school is anyone's guess. Yes, it makes me sick. I can't imagine him getting a regular position in a practice or research when he gets out. He's be an expensively trained vitamin pusher.

@pinksalting @JosephMollick @EM_RESUS Testicular cancer, typically an embryonal form or pure seminoma, or choriocarcinoma typically spread to certain abdominal nodes first and second to the lung. The above x ray would be typical. Curiously, this young man is still curable with chemotherapy.

@IanCopeland5 If you are pediatric oncologist you go to great lengths to treat those young people. And treatment is often successful. That's what St. Judes hospital is all about in Memphis (as an example). But you need to trust the physicians. The child's life is at stake.

@_trashville Methotrexate has an important role in treating rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus and similar disease. It is used to treat various cancers. In a high dose schedule for aggressive lymphomas, lower doses for some leukemias. Used less these days for head & neck, stomach and bladder ca.

@BadMedicalTakes For those who don't know, that is a PET scan, showing many lymph nodes taking up the tracer. There is no tracer take up outside nodes, so this could be a widely distributed intermediate or low grade lymphoma. It would not be a lung cancer, or breast cancer or colon cancer.

@thereal_truther @RealJamesWoods Also, keep in mind, being "vaccinated for covid" can mean having had just one shot, 22 months ago. These people would have almost no immunity. Having 4 or 5 shots greatly reduces your risk for death from COVID. (20 times less likely than unvaccinated).

@MargoLogan @IanCopeland5 Margo Logan believes that serious consequences of 1 in 100 or 1 in 200 is no big deal. So, if 10,000 kids get measles and 50 are partially deaf and several have decrease cognition, "well, that's okay then". They could have had a vaccine series with none getting measles.

@Johnincarlisle No, it is a preliminary study. If there are safety signals, the vaccine does not go on to a registration trial, where they recruit 30,000+ people to get randomized to mRNA vaccine or placebo. Same for COVID vax, first a trial of 50, then 30,000+.

@jencurran I don't believe that there is a commercially available test to tell how well a person's vaccine worked. It is even very difficult to tell in research labs. I am not sure what your numbers, 400, 250 and 16 refer to, but I would be skeptical. (I am an oncologist).

@Brettheepi Colon cancer is so rare in those age ranges that the numbers maybe 2 to 4 & 3 to 5. But using percentages makes it sound so, so much more alarming: a typical anti-vaccine ploy. Just wait a few months and the numbers go back down to 2 & 3, but that will be ignored. 1/2.

@e_x_i_l_i_u_s @Debunk_the_Funk That right, with stipulations. When approved for myeloma, a patient would get a prescription that had to be re-written every month.

@BadMedicalTakes Notice how the brain takes up a lot of fluorodeoxyglucose tracer. That is normal. The heart does as well; normal. The kidneys and liver take up a faint amount of tracer. That is normal. It is the lymph nodes that are abnormal.

@EM_RESUS Most people are saying Choriocarcinoma from the testes and this is a good hunch. Choriocarcinoma tends to give off the most Beta hCG. Typically this man would have Beta hCG's in the 10,000 range to 100,000 range and could even be a million. Still quite curable.

@BrownHospMed Testicular cancer. I'm guessing non-seminomatous germ cell cancer, perhaps choriocarcinoma, or primarily choriocarcinoma. Curable with 4 cycles of Cisplatin, Etoposide, Bleomycin, or skip the Bleo and add Ifosfamide.

@BadVaccineTakes In 1979 I spent 3 months at a mission hospital in Ivory Coast and saw about 4 or 5 cases of tetanus. Those cases of full blown, or local tetanus were several months after the contaminated wound. Often the tetany was unilateral, sometimes localized to one extremity.

@BadVaccineTakes Tetanus takes longer than that to settle in. Weeks, sometimes months. The neurotoxin is developed in the wound from the bacteria and then moves up the nerve very slowly before symptoms start. I am not aware that it can manifest in just 1 or 2 days. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@TinFoilAwards Usually, you give them time to find another physician, especially if they are undergoing care. Six weeks is about right. It is good that they dismissed her from all OHSU practices, for they share call. You'd hate to be on call and all of a sudden have to care for her again.

@BretWeinstein Hey, Bret. Everyone else who figures it shows that there is a higher risk for death if you're not vaccinated for COVID. Nobody who looks at fatality rates says that there is a "3-to-5x" more likely death if you're vaccinated. I mean, NOBODY. You're just making this stuff up.

@BretWeinstein @Twitter @jack The NIH should have sponsored dozens of studies of drugs for early Covid. Favipiravir, Molnupiravir, outpatient Remdesivir and combinations. Camostat and other antivirals. Also HCQ and Iver, although I am not at this time convinced they help. The NIH failed us.
