15: Doctors Tell All - Caring for COVID19 Patients

The Spiro Podcast is written for health care specialists that practice pulmonary, critical care and/or sleep medicine. In this episode we talk about the pitfalls of convalescent plasma in COVID19 treatment. We also share how awake prone positioning may save lives and hydroxychloroquine really doesn't do much. We discuss what a virtual hospital is and how it helps in overall patient care. We will take a moment to read the obituary of a medical legend across all specialties of healthcare, and we'll close with a mention of the "skip intro" button and laugh at a couple of funny stories about snakes.

14: Hydroxychloroquine is All Bark & No Bite

In this episode of the SpiroPodcast we discuss how citizen scientists are contributing to the COVID19 fight as well as the massive volume of so-called research papers that have inundated journals subsequently flooding over onto pre-print servers. We speak to the benefits and risks of this potentially disruptive dissemination of research/information now during the COVID19 epidemic and after COVID19. We will close with something I like/don't like and some inspirational words from Colt's Corner (Henri Colt, MD).
