Never ending respect to our NHS, and the correspondent here in the medical profession. We are so all with you and thank you from the bottom of the socks of our souls.
I am not on the ward, not seeing this trauma, living it daily. I have friends who are. And provided PPE last year when the NHS had none.
But what if....................
What if, you have a patient that you know has hours left. You're feeding oxygen. No effect. Lower lung clog is taking over, and there in nothing you can do.
If alcohol inhalation released the clog, perhaps mixed with the oxygen, or periodically applied, what do you do? Do you look to the indemnity policy.....the potential perhaps (though refuted this end) that there could be residual lung scarring.......or do you apply and potentially save a life.
We need to think out of the box, beyond the empirical. IMHO for otherwise, by the time research catches up, we will be too late.
If you are about to lose a patient anyway, what has to be lost. A claim against the indemnity policy?
My respect. No relevant quals whatsoever.....just bitter experience.
Do we need to think out of the box?
Note: No medical qualifications whatsoever. These writings and caveated by seeking medical advice but not in any way aligned to the madness of Trumps "bleach" paradigm (silly!).
