The cost of non Evidence-Based treatment is phenomenal. When you add one extra drug in the ICU that has no value, it means preparing the drug, injecting it, thrombophlebitis, etc. Now multiply that by 500 patients and fewer doctors and nurses. This is one hospital. 1/n
Now make that drug expensive (Remdesivir), difficult to get (plasma) and imagine the energy that goes into procuring it and failing which guilt that might accompany it. Not everyone can afford these and many are selling their livelihoods to obtain it. 2/n
There are families with two individuals in the ICUs and another two infected at home. Those are home are also receiving drugs which are useless and might put them into hospital. Such as steroids at high doses when not required (in viral replication phase). 3/n
It has taken a pandemic to expose the general non evidence based management that occurs across the board in the allopathic branches. Not even touching the alternative medicine as most of it does not evidence. Will discuss that later.
The health system was never good. 4/n End
