@DrKayvanMirhadi told me he's receiving around 500 Instagram messages daily from wounded protesters in #Iran, begging him for medical advice - because the authorities have been arresting protesters seeking treatment at hospitals. cbsnews.com/news/iran-news…
He says he receives photos like this ... "So, a person who is bleeding out of their leg from like, a gunshot wound, is just waiting for my response on the phone. ... It's just a horrible situation."

I am not in the mood for anything yet.
