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.

Drs get scripts rejected by insurance
Drs get sued due to scripts from treating full spectrum of society.
Drs get the hell regulated out of their practice

They deal with this every day and maintain the highest standards in the world.

They have no experience or reference to deal with emergency process fo PANDEMIC drug approval.

Wait at least couple days for little practice, consensus, confidence to digest what just happened. They just got a platter of pills with no face value. Suspect, caution, test, risk assess, would not expect less.

What we have here is Drs stepping up to the plate. May be a home run or a bunt, but we getting on base.
