Thought for the Day - Part 2

Further to my earlier post, I don't want to give the impression that we're doing this to show up or expose the doctor; the idea is to give our doctors the knowledge and ammunition they need about a fairly unknown disease to share with their peers, seniors and managers, to prescribe drugs off licence.

The number of different treatments in the UK is pathetic and shrinking fast according to posts on the forum. If they have plenty of evidence of successes elsewhere in the world, they'll feel less exposed about taking a risk.

Get them to think about the recent headline grabbing success of the steroid dexametasone in saving countless lives from covid 19. An existing cheap drug used in new way!
