Got this brief medical review off 'Life in the fast lane' search on FB

Author: Dr Greg Brogan – Peer Reviewer: A/Prof Chris Nickson

OVERVIEW

COVID-19 lung imaging is generally indicated in any COVID-19 patient with worsening respiratory status
  • commonly manifests as ground glass opacities (CT chest), distributed bilaterally in bases and peripheries 
  • evolves rapidly and lung involvement is associated with severity; findings progress over 1-3 weeks, typically peaking at 10-14 days
  • findings may be present in asymptomatic individuals or pre-symptomatic individuals and may be absent early in the course of disease
In general, the lung imaging findings of COVID-19 patients are consistent with other viral pneumonias – there is no proven specific finding for COVID-19, though there may be suggestive patterns.

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
