In medicine I feel like we pick apart each new study until there's nothing useful left. Half of the stuff we do is not evidence-based. The other half is currently evidence-based but likely to be refuted with new evidence in the near future.
I'm putting my patients on HCQ and azithromycin when they get to the unit (when I take over their care). So far it's caused serious QTc prolongation and we've reduced dosing or d/c'ed the azithro. In the spectrum of cases at our hospital it's a little too early to tell if it's making a difference, but with the positive (and admittedly flawed) studies out there, I'm giving it a shot.
