Examining Corona Patient without PPE.

Professor at Kasturba Hospital, Sewagram Dr Indrajit Khandekar hasn’t worn the entire PPE kit while on duty for 15 days in Covid ward and has treated around 90 Covid patients. His colleagues wore complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and he only wore a N95 mask.

Wearing PPE makes me feel very uncomfortable, lowers my confidence and I can't do the job assigned to me properly so I don't wear PPE kit when examining corona patients, said Dr Khandekar.

That doesn’t mean I’m careless. I do not wear PPE because I also believe that many people get infected regularly with the viruses whenever there is change in weather. I get infected with such viruses 2-3 times a year and the symptoms like fever, cold, cough, loss of taste etc come more or less according to our immune system at that time. It's just that I don't keep such a virus in my head for 24/7. So, for me, corona is a germ, like earlier viruses that had killed millions in the past. Covid may have infected me and will continue to do so even in future.

PPE causes a lot of sweating after a while, the whole body gets wet, you can't even go to the bathroom so you drink less water. This has an adverse effect on the health of health workers as they stay in PPE for more than 6 hours. Also, all these things unknowingly lead to neglect of patients which increases the morbidity and mortality of covid patients due to medical errors.

Excessive Fear of #Corona: Unrealistic, unnecessary. Treat #corona as a #disease and not disaster.

 

Govt took cognizance of his letter about #Covid Vaccine.

 Hope Government will inform all possible information about vaccine to public.

For example, its effect as past flu vaccines are effective for around #only_90_days; so one has to take yearly minimum 2 dosage (repeated vaccination), its Vaccine effectivity (past flu vaccine has effectivity only around 9 to 29%). And major factor is, studies shows that #repeated_vaccination by same vaccine decreases antibody titre means #immunity. So, whether this will applicable to covid vaccine or not?

For Doctors: How to prepare consent form for different medical procedure as per Supreme Court guidelines?

To avoid problems (like the case described in the news paper- please read attachment) we need to follow the guidelines issued by #Supreme_Court in Samira Kohli Case.
At most of the places #blanket_consent_form (single form for all procedures) is used which has already been declared #wrong by Supreme Court.

Attributing cause of death to a #single_virus i.e., #Covid_without_testing for others: It is scientifically correct? All causes death in India: Impact of Covid Pandemic. #Covid #Pandemic

As per study published in #Lancet-2019 (Funded by GOI), in India around 96.5 lakh deaths in a year 2017. Out of these around 25 lakhs by #communicable infection diseases (6900 per day). Out of 25 lakhs around 4.7 lakh deaths are of young age (15-44 yrs) persons. Respiratory infections cause around 3.4 lakh deaths (930 per day), and TB around 3.75 lakh deaths (1027 deaths daily). Every year such deaths occur with slight fluctuations.
Total #Natural deaths-71.22 lakh. Total Unnatural deaths (accidents, suicides, homicides)- 9.21 lakhs. Deaths where Cause not known- 2.38 lakh. Out of 96.5 lakhs around 15.5 lakh deaths are of young age (15-44 yrs) persons.
If we study the last pandemic of 2009 (swine flu H1N1) in USA and India, then we come to know that even after adding the deaths due to pandemic virus, there is no increase in overall number of deaths due to communicable infection and even there is no increase in overall number of deaths due to respiratory infections or overall natural deaths. Means only name of the virus was changed, for cause death in place of another virus. This is due to non-testing of other viruses in pandemic situation. Thus, pandemic deaths were not additional deaths.
During this Covid pandemic, if we study the data from Italy, we can come to know that last winter Italy has around 34000 deaths due to Swine flu Influenza virus. But this winter there are only 258 deaths due to said virus (this is because these cases were tested before arrival of Covid) and after arrival of covid there is no swine flu Influenza deaths, because all subsequent deaths were tested for covid virus only; so labelled as Covid deaths.
In Covid phase, even in India we are not doing test for other viruses except Covid. So, in India also, covid deaths will not be additional deaths and our yearly routine death rates due to infection causes or rates due overall natural deaths will not increase.
But, unfortunately, this year till date we have added 50-65% suicides (i.e., unnatural deaths) as additional deaths.
An autopsy study has revealed that people who are suspected to die from viral respiratory pathogens, more than one virus and bacteria are often found causing death. A positive test for coronavirus does not mean necessarily that this virus is always primarily responsible for a patient’s demise. But as we are not testing for other viruses, all other respiratory infections deaths appear to be labelled under Covid and that’s why COVID-19 being the underlying cause of death more often than not and the same is inflating the numbers of COVID deaths and is #misleading the public about the actual number of these deaths.
Means, in Covid death also, there might be other viruses and bacteria (which we are not testing right now) equally responsible for the death of the said person. #Without_testing_for_other_viruses and bacteria that are routinely causing lakhs of deaths in India, attributing death to the single tested virus i.e., covid is #scientifically_incorrect.
Testing only for covid, does it mean that all other viruses and bacteria’s that are causing lakhs of death are vanished due to appearance of covid?
I hope our policy makers will take into account such already available data before taking any policy decisions and once again reconsider their decisions on handling of covid pandemic before it becomes too late.
