Doctors were so concerned about Trump’s Covid-19 condition they considered putting him on a ventilator – New report claims

A new report by the New York times claims former US President Donald Trump's condition after testing positive for Covid-19 in October 2020 became so worrying that there was talk of putting him on a ventilator. According to the report, when Trump was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he not only had trouble breathing, but had received supplemental oxygen. The former President's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, dodged talking much on the issue at the time, saying Trump "is not on oxygen right now." When he was asked if Trump had received oxygen at all, Dr. Conley would not directly answer, saying, "He has not needed any this morning, today at all." Asked if he had ever been on supplemental oxygen as part of his Covid-19 treatment, Conley said, "Right now he i...

Pope Francis’ Personal Doctor Dies From COVID-19

Fabrizio Soccorsi, the personal doctor of Pope Francis has died from COVID-19 complications. Catholic News Agency reported that the 78-year-old physician was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for a previous health issue on December 26. While he was dealing with an “oncological pathology,” COVID was the cause of death, the Vatican’s newspaper L’Osservatore Romano reported. In August 2015, Pope Francis named him his personal physician after not renewing the term of papal doctor Patrizio Polisca, who was also head of the Vatican’s healthcare services. Since the pontificate of St. Pope John Paul II, the two positions had been tied together, but Pope Francis diverged from this custom by choosing Soccorsi, a doctor from outside the Vatican. The Pope recently declared it was wi...

Canadian Doctors Protest Salary Increase, Say They’re Being Paid Too Much

More than 500 Canadian doctors, as well as over 150 medical students, have signed a public letter protesting the recent government’ policy to increase their pay. “We, Quebec doctors who believe in a strong public system, oppose the recent salary increases negotiated by our medical federations,” the letter says. The group complain that they don’t consider it appropriate to receive increased pay while the nurses and the patients suffer. “These increases are all the more shocking because our nurses, clerks and other professionals face very difficult working conditions, while our patients live with the lack of access to required services because of the drastic cuts in recent years and the centralization of power in the Ministry of Health,” reads the letter, which was published Februar...

Abiola’s Death, Last Moments Recorded On Video — Al-Mustapha

A former Chief Security Officer to the late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha (retd.), on Saturday, claimed that the cause of death of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election in Nigeria, Chief MKO Abiola, and the late businessman’s last moments were recorded on video.

“Buhari Has Anaemia”, Femi Williams, Professor Of Medicine

A medical expert, Professor Femi Williams, categorically said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari, was anaemic. This, the certified physician in Anatomic Pathology from London and Ireland, told The Nation in an interview, could only have been responsible for the blood transfusion which the president got during his medical vacation in the United Kingdom. Buhari admitted on his return home on Friday that he had transfusion in London. “We now have a pretty good idea of diagnosis, which is now comprehensive or good enough to say that the diagnosis of President Buhari’s illness is anaemia,” Williams said. “You cannot be transfused if you don’t have anaemia,” he explained. He had, in a previous diagnosis based on the president’s photograph published in the newspapers, ruled ...
