First, let's talk about expectations.
From the get-go, it is absolutely clear that there is no #smoking gun or similar to be expected.
The intelligence services all had access to the same information and most assessments are low confidence, with 4 agencies favoring #zoonosis.

Within the 'manmade' mythology, too many unverified stories are taken as gospel truth.
Overall, the best LLs can hope for is that the IC can verify some #circumstantial evidence that they have spun into their #mythology; but honestly, I highly doubt that.

Hospitalisation can burn a hole in your pocket and derail your finances. It will become even tough, if the person who brings in the money, is now in a hospital bed. All this can be avoided by just paying a small annual premium towards health insurance

A few patient consultations may not require prescribing medicines
1. When patients consult a doctor, in most cases, they expect a pill to be prescribed.
Vice versa, a doctor may feel compelled to prescribe a drug to ensure patient's satisfaction.

#doctor #patient #MedTwitter
2. There are some situations, where a medicine need not be prescribed. As a doctor, it is our duty to explain this aspect to the patient, so that un-necessary medicine prescription may be avoided. It can save costs as well as prevent any drug-related "adverse effects".
3. Case 1: 25-year old presented with pins & needles sensation in scalp for 3 days. It was mild & didn't interfere with daily activities. Patient was anxious that it could be something serious. Clinical exam was normal. I reassured the patient and asked to review, if needed.
