RUSH TRANSCRIPT Gotten them ░░░░░░░░ Well the experts strike ░░░░░░░░ And those are my ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ 49 America and shut ░░░░░░░░ In early April dozens ░░░░░░░░ residents and staffs at ░░░░░░░░ Texas city nursing home ░░░░░░░░ positive for Covid 19 ░░░░░░░░ center medical director Dr ░░░░░░░░ was not on his ░░░░░░░░ He had to act ░░░░░░░░ so in addition to ░░░░░░░░ in place Dr Armstrong ░░░░░░░░ treating residents with Hydroxychloroquine ░░░░░░░░ Armstrong joining me now ░░░░░░░░ Armstrong great to see ░░░░░░░░ tonight Thank you for ░░░░░░░░ on What was the ░░░░░░░░ of treating the residents ░░░░░░░░ hydroxy chloroquine What we ░░░░░░░░ Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin we ░░░░░░░░ that we had 92 ░░░░░░░░ those residents who were ░░░░░░░░ with Hydroxychloroquine getting better ░░░░░░░░ was paired with the ░░░░░░░░ that we did not ░░░░░░░░ and so it was ░░░░░░░░ amazing positive outcome that ░░░░░░░░ fantastic We really were ░░░░░░░░ a bad situation where ░░░░░░░░ felt like we were ░░░░░░░░ to see a lot ░░░░░░░░ the patients die we ░░░░░░░░ like the mortality rate ░░░░░░░░ very high we are ░░░░░░░░ things happening in Washington ░░░░░░░░ We saw was happening ░░░░░░░░ Louisiana we felt like ░░░░░░░░ needed to treat these ░░░░░░░░ very quickly with something ░░░░░░░░ has been proven to ░░░░░░░░ And so what we ░░░░░░░░ in China and the ░░░░░░░░ in France that after ░░░░░░░░ days of treatments with ░░░░░░░░ and azithromycin it dropped ░░░░░░░░ zero on day six ░░░░░░░░ s what we did ░░░░░░░░ out we treated them ░░░░░░░░ five days of Hydroxychloroquine ░░░░░░░░ we saw very impressive ░░░░░░░░ and patients that were ░░░░░░░░ recovered well and are ░░░░░░░░ well today Laura Dr ░░░░░░░░ this is what a ░░░░░░░░ on CNN said last ░░░░░░░░ about the impact of ░░░░░░░░ use on the heart ░░░░░░░░ have no evidence it ░░░░░░░░ makes any positive impact ░░░░░░░░ Covid 19 patients To ░░░░░░░░ contrary we have evidence ░░░░░░░░ certain circumstances it can ░░░░░░░░ dangerous heart rhythm abnormalities ░░░░░░░░ anecdotes that the president ░░░░░░░░ touting are just that ░░░░░░░░ anecdotes If plural of ░░░░░░░░ is not data it ░░░░░░░░ just anecdotes If the ░░░░░░░░ meaningless Laura Dr Armstrong ░░░░░░░░ Raul found no cardiac ░░░░░░░░ that he could find ░░░░░░░░ 1 000 patients The ░░░░░░░░ didn t find any ░░░░░░░░ you see any cardiac ░░░░░░░░ in your patients We ░░░░░░░░ no cardiac side effects ░░░░░░░░ in fact on day ░░░░░░░░ we did to ekgs ░░░░░░░░ patients and saw that ░░░░░░░░ interval which there at ░░░░░░░░ the interval that s ░░░░░░░░ and that increased cardiac ░░░░░░░░ we saw in all ░░░░░░░░ patients that were treated ░░░░░░░░ the course none of ░░░░░░░░ had a prolonged interval ░░░░░░░░ therefore none of them ░░░░░░░░ at risk of having ░░░░░░░░ side effects that was ░░░░░░░░ about None of the ░░░░░░░░ s had any side ░░░░░░░░ whatsoever Cardiac or otherwise ░░░░░░░░ that matter It was ░░░░░░░░ At Dr Armstrong but ░░░░░░░░ m hear hear in ░░░░░░░░ D C Maryland they ░░░░░░░░ concerned that they are ░░░░░░░░ longer free to prescribe ░░░░░░░░ given the FDA s ░░░░░░░░ that are not technically ░░░░░░░░ them but the warnings ░░░░░░░░ such that hospital organizations ░░░░░░░░ hospitals like John Hawkins ░░░░░░░░ taking it out of ░░░░░░░░ standard of care protocol ░░░░░░░░ in the words of ░░░░░░░░ doctor today got off ░░░░░░░░ phone before the show ░░░░░░░░ said people are going ░░░░░░░░ die because they are ░░░░░░░░ going to get hydroxy ░░░░░░░░ wait till they get ░░░░░░░░ the hospital and then ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ late Absolutely and the ░░░░░░░░ time was that you ░░░░░░░░ to start them little ░░░░░░░░ earlier when they start ░░░░░░░░ symptoms and that s ░░░░░░░░ best way to get ░░░░░░░░ treated in the most ░░░░░░░░ way The FDA emergency ░░░░░░░░ recently what it does ░░░░░░░░ you can t use ░░░░░░░░ list of patients on ░░░░░░░░ hospital Because the mortality ░░░░░░░░ are so high in ░░░░░░░░ hospital you have to ░░░░░░░░ it earlier and so ░░░░░░░░ re only allowing doctors ░░░░░░░░ use it in situations ░░░░░░░░ it s almost too ░░░░░░░░ to treat them So ░░░░░░░░ think we have to ░░░░░░░░ aggressive on the front ░░░░░░░░ and our experience in ░░░░░░░░ observation is that patients ░░░░░░░░ well when they were ░░░░░░░░ with mild symptoms and ░░░░░░░░ them from going to ░░░░░░░░ hospital and also prevented ░░░░░░░░ mortality rates from going ░░░░░░░░ That was significant and ░░░░░░░░ happy with the outcome ░░░░░░░░ the families are happy ░░░░░░░░ the outcome No side ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ positive result and the ░░░░░░░░ is not serving us ░░░░░░░░ but by issuing orders ░░░░░░░░ backtracking from previous emergency ░░░░░░░░ and allowing us to ░░░░░░░░ the drug more freely ░░░░░░░░ think they have to ░░░░░░░░ the order people are ░░░░░░░░ going to live because ░░░░░░░░ this morning I know ░░░░░░░░ s not their intention ░░░░░░░░ prophylactic use in the ░░░░░░░░ pandemic situation seemed to ░░░░░░░░ working for you guys ░░░░░░░░ probably going to work ░░░░░░░░ other places and work ░░░░░░░░ the world and Dr ░░░░░░░░ I can t tell ░░░░░░░░ how much I admire ░░░░░░░░ you do on a ░░░░░░░░ basis So much in ░░░░░░░░ many of us had ░░░░░░░░ who were in senior ░░░░░░░░ The nurses on the ░░░░░░░░ they do really hard ░░░░░░░░ and you made a ░░░░░░░░ call and I really ░░░░░░░░ appreciate it Thank you ░░░░░░░░ sharing your story tonight ░░░░░░░░ you for having me ░░░░░░░░ thank you, Laura.
