Sure, the line has to be drawn somewhere, but currently the line was drawn so that it denied testing a person who is already intubated for days with matching xrays - that's not the proper place to draw the line.
- giarc 7y agoIntubated with ground glass opacities on xray? Probably 25-50% of patients in all ICU's around the world match that criteria. This patient had no travel history and no known sick contacts, the line was appropriate for that patient. Sure they were wrong, but in public health, you known you will be wrong sometimes. It's a balancing act.
