It could be worse. I had the text size set too small and I thought the title was trans-rectal ablation. I clicked on it because I wondered how they were going to get to your heart from there.

I'm sure they did, but I'll ask anyway. Did anyone test your potassium level?

I had sneezing spells last Thursday, Saturday, and this morning (Monday). I started using a shampoo that is supposed to get hair growing again (I have a small bald spot starting on the back of my head. I used the shampoo Thursday, Saturday, and this morning. As soon as I got out of the shower...

Easier said than done, but worrying or being anxious will not change anything. Find a surgeon you trust and put it in his hands. If you don't feel comfortable with that surgeon and your insurance allows it, find a different surgeon. Just remember, bedside manner has little to do with his...

I watched a video of 2 very smart Ph.D.'s in Biology discussing vaccines. They thought it was dangerous to give everyone, especially healthcare workers, a relatively untested, new RNA vaccine. If we later find a problem with it, we might have wiped out a large portion of our health care...

I took my 1st dose of Ivermectin yesterday. I will take my 2nd dose tomorrow and then every 2 weeks. It acts prophylactically to help prevent Covid-19 according to the FLCCC. Yesterday I had a sneezing spell in the morning. I must have sneezed hard about 10 times in a row. That has never...

You might be a good candidate for TAVR/TAVI. One of the reasons they wait as long as they can is because of how long a new valve will last. The hope is to give you a new valve and it never needs to be replaced or replaced once at the most. At 65, you might need the valve replaced again when you...

I failed. I called the regional state health office and asked about being put on a wait-list. They are still in phase 1a and are only vaccinating first responders. I explained that my understanding was sometimes people cancel and at the end of the day they have vaccine left over that can't be...

I don't know if this would work or not, but it might. Grocery store workers are essential workers and grocery stores have high turnover. If you want to jump the line, you might be able to get a part-time job at a grocery store and get your vaccination now. Another possibility which I am going...

About a year ago, I started a blog. It was slow going and I only finished a couple of articles. I got sidetracked and never got back to it. I decided to start working on it again and would really appreciate it if some of you would review my aortic stenosis article. I want these articles to be...

My understanding is the way they speeded up the trial was by using a new testing method that was much faster than the old way of animal testing and that in phase 1, they tested a much larger number of people than is normally tested. So the testing was speeded up by testing more people early in...

This is one time I'm not looking back and reflecting. I'm only concerned with the future. I listened to a podcast yesterday with 2 very smart people. They believe there is a good possibility that Covid-19 may replace the current seasonal flu and be with us for a long time to come. If that's...

I don't remember where I found it this morning, but I found a form I filled in and it gave me an idea where I was most likely positioned to get the vaccine. It said I was 1B, but I think I'm probably a 2. The slowness of rolling out the vaccines is really a manufacturing problem more than...

The media has been all over the virus mutation in GB, but there is also one in S Africa. Both seem to be more infectious than the current strain and they have yet to determine their severity.

I handled the threat of Covid-19 earlier this year with no major problems. I had plenty of yard work to do plus I painted my house, so I was too busy to feel like a hermit. As long as it was warm and sunny and I could be outside most of the day, I was fine. I suffer moderately from Seasonal...

As aspirin is an anti-coagulant, you would hope there would be a warning if it is a problem.

Does anyone know what Resuscitation facilities mean? I did a search, but all I find are articles about the vaccine and the requirement to have resuscitation facilities, but no explanation of exactly what that means. When they start doing vaccines at pharmacies, will they have resuscitation...

Something I hadn't picked up on is the transcatheter aortic valve is only in the preclinical testing phase. The surgical aortic valve is furthest along, then the mitral valve, and transcatheter is far behind.

From Dec 11, 2020 "The Australian government has abandoned a promising domestic Covid-19 vaccine developed by the University of Queensland and biotech firm CSL after participants in an early-stage clinical trial falsely tested positive for HIV, highlighting potential setbacks faced by scientists...
