This week gained enough energy to tackle my #CPAP Issue.
I never got this philips.com/c-dam/b2bhc/ma… my DME provider says not their responsibility. I threw my machine away @MedicareGov After 2 months I called DME provider for replacement. She said “it’s Phillips’ responsibility.
I talked to my Doctor initially and thought I could live without.Then had big seizure and terrible sleep-lack of. DME person scolded me for throwing away a defective machine when offered No Guidance. I never want to see another Phillips machine!! No filter for me! I want Resmed!
I told DME lady I almost bought one retail but I have great insurance. She said they sell res med retail. I want one of those. You can’t was all she said. Millions of people are going without CPAP because Phillips is dragging their feet. There is no fix. There are consequences.

I want to thank all my colleagues for the wonderful #COVID19 research they published during these months: >200 PubMed-indexed articles from @SanRaffaeleMI @SRAnesthesiaICU @MyUniSR @azangrillo
I’ll summarize few of them in this thread.

In February, before the start of #COVID19 in Europe, we suggested the use of helmet to deliver #CPAP #NIV in emergency departments. This can be a key issue to prevent future spread of respiratory pandemics in emergency departments.

As soon as #COVID19 spread in Lombardy we helped other centers to manage their worst patients: 39 patients from other centers were admitted in our ICUs. The H was reshaped to cope with the new situation. The manusc cited 38 times in the first 4 months.

For weeks, there’ve been warnings about what might happen when #Coronavirus reaches #Yemen.
It is now officially spreading inside the country. @SkyNews has filmed images of graves being dug at a worrying pace & we’ve spoken to @jnbeuze - the head of the @UNHCRYemen [thread]
.@jnbeuze told @SkyNews that the presence of #COVID19 in #Yemen + the impact the virus is having on the economies of wealthy donor countries presents a devastating DUAL BLOW for the country.
He warns that 3.6m displaced people + 280,000 refugees will lose their aid.
More than 24 million Yemenis - 80% of the population - are in need of humanitarian assistance after 6 years of civil war between Saudi-backed government forces & #Houthi rebels aligned to Iran. Half of health facilities are dysfunctional; nearly a 1/4 districts have no doctors.

As UK deaths continue to increase, I wanted to write about dying of respiratory failure. It won't be easy - either to write or read - but I think it is important, particularly for those who will tragically have their loved ones go through the process. #COVID19 #coronavirusuk
Last year, my 39-year-old husband, Sam, died of respiratory failure associated with rejection of his lung transplant, 8 years after his transplant. His increasing respiratory failure at home was terrifying for him and for me. We both felt helpless and afraid. #RespiratoryFailure
This was actually the worst part of the whole process, for Sam and for me. With COVID, for some people, this will be the last contact with your loved one that you have. I want to explain how from this point on, in a strange way it gets better, so perhaps you will be less afraid.
