First we're told we need thousands of ventilators. Now they might be hurting more than helping? How does this relate to the biggest challenge facing science today? And what's Elon Musk got to do with it?! Science is front and centre like never before. But scientific thinking is lagging far behind. Somehow a normal healthy debate is twisted to support people with bizarre viewpoints. Gwyneth Paltrow, Novak Djokovic, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Elon Musk fall foul of the same thing - a little knowledge going too far. This topic was chosen in response to a poll where 10000 people voted! Thanks people, great to know what you're interested in so feel free to tell me. I know half the voters didn't vote for this so I am going to tackle those other topics soon too. #VENTILATORS #ELONMUSK #COVID19 ----------------- More Medlife Crisis: http://www.medlifecrisis.co.uk/ https://twitter.com/medcrisis https://www.facebook.com/Medlifecrisis https://www.instagram.com/medcrisis References: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR1IuLEqb6UEA_zQ81kwXfg How to make a cheap ventilator video (with me!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vLPefHYWpY Muddled thinking punctures plan for British ventilator https://www.ft.com/content/5f393d77-8e5b-4a85-b647-416efbc575ec Covid-19 Does Not Lead to a “Typical” Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome | American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine | Articles in Press https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rccm.202003-0817LE Respiratory Support in Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Patients, with a Focus on Resource-Limited Settings https://www.ajtmh.org/content/journals/10.4269/ajtmh.20-0283 COVID-19 pneumonia: different respiratory treatments for different phenotypes? https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00134-020-06033-2 TREADING LIGHTLY IN A PANDEMIC: ZENTENSIVIST REFLECTIONS ON COVID-19 https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(20)30745-5/pdf Dr Cameron Kyle-Sidell's first video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNgMagm3-NwKdfGiXp8WILg FROM NYC ICU: DOES COVID-19 REALLY CAUSE ARDS??!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9GYTc53r2o Hydroxychloroquine recommended watching (fair, unbiased and sensible videos): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE6NE2tnOAnuOfUBeyBakXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY5yO1dYkQQ (about the original French study - good analysis but a month old now) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu4OHd94MHqjlMp_Mgks84w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-l84Zk7yVU And of course the ever-excellent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZYTClx2T1of7BRZ86-8fow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6j4JITJoE
