Ask Us Anything: Chapter 2
Another opportunity to submit questions
In the coming weeks Vinay, John, and I (Adam) will be getting together in person. We are meeting to work on what we think will be some really valuable Sensible Medicine content.
Since we will have some time together, we thought it would be a good time to gather some more questions to answer. Same rules as last time: the comments are open to all paid subscribers to pose questions. Ask anything and we promise to take a swing at any and all questions.
We will keep collecting questions until Thursday morning. (Please no personal medical questions).
Closing down the questions. 4/24/25 10:50 AM CDT

I worked as an RN in a Covid ICU in 2020-2022. I’ve seen many people say that patients were prematurely ventilated, and that the ventilators killed people. They also blame remdesivir, which they say caused kidney failure. The patients we had shared a typical presentation, especially in 2020. They were dying when they got to us. They were failing bipap. Sats 60’s, respiratory rate 30’s, HR sky high. Is there any evidence that patients like this should not have been placed on ventilators? Or that ventilators “killed” patients? Thank you so much.
A nice summary and comments of NNT/ NNS for presumed “best practice “ issues: statins for primary prevention; reducing goal BP from 140to120; screening; reducing goal A1C in various popular etc. Thanx.
