Serving Patients Since 1990.
I have practiced in the West Metro Area since 1996 and live in Orono. I am a fierce advocate for individual patient medical care and reject the current trend toward "cookbook" medicine being practiced in the large medical clinics. Medical care as practiced in my clinic is focused on and always will be focused on the patient first and foremost.
These were my initial thoughts on this virus in early March of 2020:
MEDICAL NEWS:
COVID-19
I even hesitate to do this as the information and recommendations are changing almost hourly on this pandemic. During this heightened period of time, I felt it was important to reassure my patients that I am committed to delivering the best and most effective care for them during this time.
First I would like all to realize while this appears to be a highly contagious infection, it is not very virulent other than in the elderly and those with significant underlying medical co-morbidities. Unlike other pandemics in the past, this is NOT dangerous to pediatric patients with NO deaths occurring due to COVID 19 in healthy patients under 30 years of age in Minnesota.
Symptoms are very general with fever, shortness of breath, headache, muscle aches, fatigue and cough. Similar to many other viral illnesses.
Recommendations for testing and other general information are available at the following site:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Unfortunately, as is common with everything in this highly polarized social media driven information age, when you mix politics and medicine you get politics which has infected the common sense of most physicians and public health personnel in this COVID 19 pandemic. One can hope that the sane approach modeled by such countries as Sweden and states such as Florida and Texas can teach the ivory tower epidemiologists and infectious disease physicians who haven't seen a patient in over 40 years how best to approach this in the future.
