A Texas doctor used his GOP connections to get hydroxychloroquine to administer to dozens of elderly patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in what he calls an "observational study." In some cases, he didn't discuss with families before prescribing the drug.https://trib.al/9wF549I

I understand that medical literature is filled with studies where we make a change in technique, track the outcomes, then get an IRB approval for a retrospective study, and publish it. I'm doing such a study right now, looking at surgical timeouts and informed consent for surgery

I presented another such study on foley catheter usage in pediatric populations at Pacific Coast. Doing something for the purpose of treating a patient and tracking what happens does not require an IRB. If you decide to publish, it requires a retrospective one.

I understand research, statistics, and condescending tweets. Credentials do not make you/me a super-hero. Learn compassion and kindness. Prayers
