Fall, 2021: Covid 19 update: 10/1/2021 ARTICLE IN PROGRESS CORRECTIONS TO BE MADE:

The Fall Surge in Covid 19 cases is ongoing at a steady slow pace as I continue to treat Covid positive patients with Upper Respiratory Symptoms on a daily basis. Doctors from various Hospitals around Westchester, Connecticut & The New York Metropolitan area have told me the same. People asking me about booster shots- I've suggested taking the same vaccine as a booster. Things haven't changed- those who are symptomatic (cough, sore throat, congestion) who contact me immediately after testing positive do the best (they recover the quickest and they suffer less than those who wait This VIRUS TURNS INTO A DANGEROUS PNEUMONIA STILL IN MANY PEOPLE WHO LET THEIR COUGHS & CHEST TIGHTNESS PROGRESS WITHOUT SEEKING TREATENT. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE STILL IS NO PROTOCOL ESTABLISHED TO TREAT THIS VIRUS EARLY ON WITH MEDS (STEROIDS & A PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTIC HAVE SAVED MANY LIVES IN MY EXPERIENCE, PREVENTING HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS OF MY PATIENTS FROM BEING HOSPITALIZED). I've asked the CDC to consider implementing this protocol and to speak out not just about vaccines, but about accepting the fact that IN THE CASE OF A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC THAT'S KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, IT'S OK TO TREAT THIS VIRUS USING PROPHYLACTIC MEDS (I'VE WRITTEN EXPLAINING WHY). PEOPLE WHO WERE VACCINATED (BREAKTHROUGH CASES) ARE NOT GETTING AS SICK AS THOSE WHO CHOSE NOT TO BE VACCINATED.

I still believe that as long as you follow the guidelines that everyone should be aware of by now, posted by the CDC etc., for the protection of others as well as yourself, for those who choose not to take the vaccine, they have a right to choose, but personally I believe the the benefits of the Covid Vaccine outweigh the risks, especially considering the amount of deaths before these vaccines became available. EVERYONE PLEASE STOP LISTENING TO ALL THE BS ON THE INTERNET. I FELL FOR ONE CONSPIRACY THEORY MYSELF ABOUT THE ELECTION THAT TURNED OUT TO BE BS & I NEVER LISTENED TO ONE AGAIN. I've also stopped listening to FOX & CNN. I CAN'T BLAME ANYONE WHO QUESTIONS ANYTHIN BEING TOLD TO US BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE MISINFORMATION AND DYSINFORMATION TOLD TO US EARLY N BY TWO POLITICAL PARTIES AND TWO NEWS STATIONS. THE CDC SHOULD WARN THESE PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE OR TAKEN OFF THE AIR FOR SPREADING MISINFORMATION AS THE CDC HAS WARNED DOCTORS AND SUSPENDED THEIR LICENSES. THE CDC IS PANDERING TO THE NEWS MEDIA AND POLITICIANS BY NOT PUNISHING THEM, BUT JUST PUNISHING DOCTORS WHO SPREAD MISINFORMATION ON VACCINES. ALL YOU DOCS OUT THERE SPEAK UP FOR GOD'S SAKE. YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY PEOPLE DISTRUST WHAT'S BEING TOLD TO THEM! (

Those listening to conspiracy theories (some may be true) but remember that we, doctors, do take into consideration, that many cause of deaths were mislabeled with Covid as the cause and that many would not have died had we given more thought to treating this disease early on instead of just concentrating on these vaccines. BUT THIS PANDEMIC IS REAL AND STILL EXISTS!!! MILLIONS DIED. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE REFRIGERATED TRUCKS OUTSIDE OF HOSPITALS AND FUNERAL HOMES.

WHY SO MUCH DOUBT? AGAIN, You have to consider that most of the advice being given to the public, especially at the height of this Pandemic, "was not being given by physicians in practice who are trained to diagnose and treat illness", something we do on a daily basis, but most of you all got your info from two politically influenced news stations and politicians (one from New York in particular) stating every day that we needed 20,000, 30,000.. vents on & on to the point that placing patients on vents almost became the treatment of choice, especially in New York, giving you a one out of ten chance of living if intubated and placed on a vent. Health Commissioner of New York State, Howard Zucker, you should be ashamed of yourself. You pretended to be a clerk with no medical knowledge one of the times I called you stating to me in response to a question I asked you "oh the answer to that is way above my pay scale", stated exactly in the same tone you said it to me you later answered a question a Senator asked you at a Senate Hearing "oh the answer to that is way above my pay scale". I ALMOST FELL OFF MY CHAIR WHEN I HEARD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN AT "A SENATE HEARING", I REALIZED YOU PRETENTED TO BE JUST SOMEONE TAKING MESSAGES WHEN I CALLED YOU TO DISCUSS MEDICAL ISSUS. WHO IN A POSITION SUCH AS YOUR'S DOES THAT. And, Zucker, nice try telling the Senate you couldn't remember if you played a role in transferring Covid positive patients to Nursing Homes. ADIOS ZUCKER!

NO WONDER WHY SO MANY PEOPLE DISTRUST WHAT'S BEING TOLD TO THEM. LET'S HOPE THAT NEW YORK STATE'S NEW LIEUTEANT GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL CONTINUES CLEANING HOUSE IN ALBANY. PLEASE UNDERSTND MY FRUSTRATION AS A DOCTOR, TRYING MY BEST TO SURVIVE AND AVOID BURNOUT. I HAVE SPOKEN OUT LOUDLY, COMPLAINED TO THE POWERS THAT BE (EXCUSE ME, "THAT WERE") IN ALBANY THAT HAVE TRIED HARD TO SHUT ME UP BUT HAVEN'T SUCCEDED. COME ON YOU DOCS WHO FOLLOW ME HERE ON LINKEDIN AND ELWHERE. SPEAK UP TO SAVE OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. IT'S DETERIORATED!!! TAKE CONTROL BCK FROM CORPORATE AMERICA WHO IS PRESENTLY RUNNING THE SHOW. WE WERE #1 IN THE WORLD AT ONE TIME AND NOW THE WORLD HEALTH ORG. LISTS US AS #30 something in terms of quality of healthcare AND WE ARE AT TOP OF THE LIST OF COUNTRIES WHO WAS LEAST PREPRED FOR AND WHO HANDLED A PANDEMIC SO POORLY.

Amongst my thousands of followers here in LinkedIn are many doctors, scientists, researchers, elected officials, Epidemiologists, Infectious Disease Specialists, Biologists and members of the CDC itself. THOSE OF YOU AT THE CDC WHO FOLLOW ME PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT WAS ME WHO WROTE TO YOU FOR MONTHS AND CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT USING STEROIDS TO TREAT COVID WHEN YOU WERE ADVISING NEVER TO USE THEM, UNTILL YOU FINALLY REALIZED I WAS RIGHT WITH THE EXPLANATION I GAVE YOU GUYS. (ALL HOSPITALIZED COVID PATIENTS ARE BEING TREATED WITH STEROIDS NOW AS PROTOCOL SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT APPROVING THEIR USE IN COVID PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS BEFORE HOSPITALIZATION, UNLESS CONTRAINDICATED (CDC, YOU WOULD BE PREVENTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM BEING HOSPITALIZED, SAVING SO MANY LIVES; IT'S A PANDEMIC OF UNKNOWNS WHICH REQUIRES US TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX. I DON'T CLAIM TO BE SO SMART. IT'S JUST THAT I'VE TREATED SO MANY COVID PATIENTS, MORE THAN MOST DOCTORS I'M SURE. A GREAT MANY OF MY PATIENTS LIVED IN OR AROUND THE AREA IN THE U.S. DESIGNATED AS THE FIRST COVID 19 CONTAINMENT ZONE, THE FIRSTPLACE TO BE NAMED THE EPICENTER OF COVID 19 HERE IN THE U.S.. BY SHEER COINCIDENCE I GAINED SO MUCH EXPERIENCE IN TREATING THIS ILLNESS EARLY ON AND BEFORE WE COULD EVEN TEST FOR IT, AND I RECOGNIZED THAT IT WAS A NEW, UNUSUAL AND DIFFERENT VIRUS THAN ONES WE HAD SEEN IN THE PAST, VERBALIZING THIS TO MY PATIENTS EVERY DAY ALL DAY LONG FOR MONTHS BEFORE WE TESTED FOR IT AND IDENTIFIED IT AS A HIGHLY CONTAGEOUS MORE VIRULANT VIRUS, SOMETHING I ALREADY KNEW WITHOUT GIVING IT A NAME. SO I HAD THE LUXURY OF NOT BEING INFLUENCED BY OTHERS (POLITICIANS & THE MEDIA MOSTLY) TELLING ME HOW TO TREAT MY PATIENTS WHO HAD COVID AND CALLED ME LATER ON TO ASK ME IF I BELIEVED THEY DID, BECAUSE THEY NOTED THAT THEY HAD EVERY SYMPTOM ASSOCIATED WITH IT, TELLING ME THEY DID FINE WITH THETTREATMENT I GAVE THEM. I SAID, YES YOU DID HAVE COVID. JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT I GAINEDSO MUCH EXPERIENCE BY TREATING SO MAN COVID PATIENTS. BUT I DID RECOGNIZE THAT IT WAS NOT THE REGULAR FLYU THAT YEAR, BUT A "NEW & DIFFERENT VIRUS" and I USED THAT EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH A GREAT DEAL OF COMMON SENSE TO RECOGNIZE THAT STEROIDS, ALONG WITH A PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTIC WORKED, STATING TO MY PATIENTS AS I HAD THEM FOLLOW-UP EVERY TWO DAYS WITH ME, "I MAY HAVE TO GIVE YOU TWO ROUNDS OF STEROIDS" TO CURE YOU OF THIS. I HAD MY HANDS FULL, TREATING PATIENTS ALL DAY LONG STARTING AT THE END OF DECEMBER,2019, GROWING IN GREAT NUMBERS STARTING IN JANUARY CONTINUING THROUGH FEBUARY AND THE BEGINNING OF MARCH I THINK, WITHOUT HAVING TO HOSPITALIZE ANY PATIENT AND NONE OF MY PATIENTS DEVELOPED A COVID PNEUMONIA "UNTILL" THE ENTIRE MEDICAL COMMUNITY MADE A QUICK DECISION THAT WAS NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT, A DECISION TO BAN STEROIDS AND INHALERS (BRONCHO DILATORS) AND THAT'S WHEN ALL HELL BROKE OUT AND SO MANY PEOPLE GOT COVID PNEUMONIAS AND SO MANY PEOPLE DIED. TODAY, THANK GOD, AS SCIENTISTS WORK ROUND THE CLOCK TO DEVELOP A SAFE VACCINE THAT IMPARTS LONG LASTING IMMUNITY, THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, IN PART, HAS LEARNED HOW TO MORE EFFECTIVELY TREAT COVID PATIENTS WITH ADRAMATIC DECREASE IN MORTALITY RATES IN CERTAIN AREAS.

I'm Testing all my patients in my office for antibodies: Spike antibodies are the antibodies produced from vaccines, N antibodies form after having covid, to determine whether or not you still have immunity (antibodies) and are therefore still protected from becoming very ill from Covid. (many had Covid without even knowing; those patients of mine testing positive for N antibodies. We can then make decisions about whether or not you should get the Booster shot. Vaccines are working & the benefits seem to outweigh the risks (but we do not know if there will be any long time side effects & of course we don't expect to see any & hope not to (NOBODY CAN DEFINITIVELY SAY). My wife & I got the vaccine & so did our 5 kids & my doughier-in-law, 5 of whom are doctors (3 MDs, one son a dentist & daughter-in-law a Veterinarian). We all had our reservations but all see that the BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE RISKS)

9/12/2021 AGAIN, THE PANDEMC IS STILL PRESENT. I HAD 2 PATIENTS COME OFF VENTS THIS WEEK, THANK GOD, AND I TREAT NEW PATIENTS EACH AND EVERY DAY WHO HAVE NOT JUST TESTED POSITIVE BUT ARE SUFFERING FROM COVID 19 ILLNESSES, INCLUDING MORE CHILDREN NOW (95+ PERCENT OF WHOM HAD NOT BEEN VACCINATED, SO THE VACCINES ARE WORKING.

We’ve learned more effective ways to treat Covid pneumonia since the beginning of this pandemic. I myself have treated thousands of Covid 19 patients for almost two years now. ??From what I’m seeing this month: ?THOSE GETTING “VERY SICK”, WAITED TOO LONG BEFORE CALLING THEIR DOCTOR FOR ADVICE AND TREATMENT. It’s true that breakthrough cases are less serious in people who were vaccinated and because Covid variants are more contagious and virulent (ALSO IT'S TRUE-more children are getting sick during this Fall surge. Again, during this month I’m treating Covid patients every single day yet with many less hospitalizations and excellent treatment given to those hospitalized.

Remember that If you get an upper respiratory infection this fall, don’t assume you have a common cold (this year still): sore throat, sinus pressure, congestion, cough and especially chest tightness with shortness of breath should be considered to be Covid related until you get Covid tested (PCR- if you have symptoms). Also, get tested if you become exposed to someone who tests positive. If you’ve not gotten vaccinated, take all precautions when in public (see CDC guidelines).

?Covid patients- DON’T SUPPRESS A COUGH. Cough that mucus and phlegm up!! Cough is an important part of our immune system. Some Doctors are still prescribing cough suppressing meds (cough meds “depress or inhibit” your immune system).

Again, we ARE seeing that these vaccines work. BUT, we should respect those who still have fears about getting these shots, especially if they following guidelines that are in place to protect themselves and others. The amount of conflicting information widely publicized by the media throughout this Pandemic has created confusion, distrust and anxiety over knowing what to believe, who to believe etc because of the CONFLICTING INFO out there STILL BEING TOLD TO EVERYONE BY DIFFERENT NEWS SOURCES, EVEN SOME POLITICIANS STILL.

I'm ASTOUNDED by the fact that SOME MAJOR NEWS SHOWS (I mean TALK SHOWS) are STILL giving advice on medical issues, issues that should be be discussed in terms of giving medical advice, by medical professionals and specialists, not newscasters and some Politicians.

?ALL SHOULD PURCHASE A PULSE OXIMETER TO KEEP IN JUST AS YOU KEEP A THERMOMETER. PEOPLE WITH COVID RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES SHOULD MAINTAIN AN OXYGEN LEVEL OF 95 OR ABOVE. PROGRESSIVE DEEP COUGHING, ALTHOUGH YOU FEEL YOUR COUGH IS DRY, WILL EVENTUALLY BRING UP MUCUS THAT’S BLOCKING AIR FROM ENTERING YOUR LUNGS AND YOU’LL SEE A RISE IN YOUR O2 (OXYGEN) level on that little sensor that fits on your finger like a clothes pin if you have one. If that doesn’t work, and you can’t get that O2 level up to 95 & above, call your doctor. (of course if, an emergency, very short of breath, chest pain etc., call 911). If you have a Covid respiratory illness, sit up, don’t lie in bed, move around, don’t lean your back against a chair for long periods, occasionally raise your arms up and down as you do would do if doing jumping jacks (without jumping, and more slowly) and when in bed, turn and lie on your stomach for periods of time- ALL THESE METHODS IMPROVE AIR ENTRY INTO YOUR LUNGS AND HELP PREVENT MUCUS AND PLEGM FROM SETTLING IN DIFFERENT PARTSOF YOUR LUNGS & PREVENTING OXYGEN TO ?ENTER YOUR LUNGS.

?I can’t thank enough all hospital healthcare workers especially those at Yale New Haven, Greenwich Hospital, Greenwich Connecticut, for caring for my hospitalized patients and allowing me to participate in their care, while risking their lives, saving the lives of so many patients, as are all healthcare providers still doing.?Dr M
