But, but, but: While the White House has most of the medical functions that Walter Reed has, it still doesn’t have the same equipment for advanced imagery and other critical care functions. And that's problematic as Trump enters the 7-10 day window. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The White House is not a normal house. It's equipped with heart monitors, oxygen tanks, and a “crash cart” — which contains materials to resuscitate Trump should he go into cardiac arrest. The president also has Marine One for Medevac if his condition rapidly deteriorates. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Several doctors tell us that any patient with Trump’s symptoms who wanted to be discharged would be forced to sign a waiver saying they're leaving against medical advice because not doing that would create massive liability nightmares for any hospital. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Steroids like the one Trump is taking, in high doses and over long periods of time, can lead to serious changes in mental status that include delirium, hallucinations and confusion. It's something to keep an eye out for. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Dexamethasone is recommended only in patients who are extremely ill. A recent study found it tends to reduce deaths from the virus but nearly a quarter of infected patients getting it with supplemental oxygen — as Trump has — still died. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

A multitude of cardiac complications have also been associated with covid-19 when a patient is 7 to 10 days in, the most prominent of which involves a hardening of the walls of the heart that makes it difficult to pump blood and can lead to heart failure. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

It remains unclear when Trump last tested negative for the coronavirus, a question White House officials refuse to answer because it would let us determine how long the president may have been contagious — and how many other people he may have put at risk. https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Doctors think Trump is the first coronavirus patient ever to get the steroid dexamethasone, an IV of remdesivir AND a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies that has not yet been approved by the FDA. Is he getting VIP treatment? Is he really sick? Or both? https://t.co/djRz6Fd8ux — PolitiTweet.org

Medical experts say they're astonished at the possibility Trump would be discharged from the hospital, noting he is in a dangerous period when some patients with covid-19 decline suddenly and require urgent intervention, via @arianaeunjung @goldsteinamy https://t.co/HMQLUEO1iT — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Conley is a doctor of osteopathic medicine, while his predecessors have been internists or general practitioners. Osteopath training focuses on the relationship of the bones and the body and on treatment of the musculoskeletal system. https://t.co/tE2g49XitM — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Questions about Sean Conley began bubbling this spring when he treated Trump with hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial treatment touted by the president as a wonder drug, even as some studies showed it could increase the risk for some patients. https://t.co/tE2g49XitM — PolitiTweet.org

“Every statement he is giving appears to be political, dictated by the White House or the president,” said one person who has worked with him. “These are not the statements a medical doctor gives.” https://t.co/tE2g49XitM — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Long before the president contracted a virus especially lethal to older people, some of Sean Conley’s former colleagues said they were disappointed in what they view as his lack of independence from White House politics. https://t.co/tE2g49XitM — PolitiTweet.org

This spring, Navy Commander Sean Conley confided to co-workers that he was laboring under intense personal stress in his job as White House physician. The 40-year-old said the pressures weigh heavily on him. https://t.co/tE2g49XitM — PolitiTweet.org
