The researchers at Henry ford Hospital originally said they found the Chloroqine was helpful in the treatment of Covid.  They were told that their research ws flawed.  They have now issued a letter about how anyone's research is now liable to excessive criticism due to political considerations not medical knowledge.

The Henry Ford researchers after publishing their results asked the FDA to approve chloroquine to treat their Covid patients.  The FDA, in their infinite wisdom, decided not to allow the drug to be used.  Dumb.  

Carrying on in the same dumbness some researchers who have no relation with reality have called on the people running Covid studies to include more diversity.  If those who want diversity get the diverse populations to volunteer in greater numbers then great.  The studies should not be held up for diversity.

I just read an article about a British male who lost his penis due to infection and is having a new one made out of skin from his arm.  He will then have the skin transposed to his perineum and will have an artificial erection pump as well as a new urethra fashioned.          Top

The "nonprofit" hospitals are mad that the feds are considering allowing physician owned hospitals to expand if they have large numbers of Medicaid beneficiaries.  They can not stand competition for their poorly run institutions.

Kaiser Permanente roared back after a poor first quarter.  The second quarter showed an net income of over $4.5 Billion.  This is a non profit.          Top
