They are on lockdown. Freaked me out. Called me yesterday to tell me to wait in car until my appt time. To approach door and wait to be allowed in. Nurse came to door and unlocked it - let me in - locked behind. Walked straight Through lobby and into room No copay. No paperwork. No temp or blood pressure. Dr in room which had been rearranged. Everyone had masks on. Showed them my wound. No one touched me. I was there for all of two minutes. They sent a new prescrip to pharmacy. I know my bloodwork is all screwed up and the results of the wound swab came back - not good. I just hope they are treating all patients same at. Freaked me out. This is spring Texas. [/quote] Don't know your details but have you tried packing the wound with sugar since they don't seem terribly interested in giving you the care you should probably get? I have had very good success with that in the past. [/quote] Heard raw honey is excellent for treating wounds. I know coconut oil works great on burns (I used cold-pressed.) [/quote] Thanks guys for the recommendations. I have tried everything. It is in the bone and although I am taking massive amounts of vitamins minerals and herbs and antibiotics. - it is slowly moving. Half the foot was cut off a couple of years ago. It has to go. But I had a heart attack in January and now can’t get surgery authorization. So just doing what I can until I can get a below the knee amputation. I am in trouble. Not sure what the future holds. [/quote] Damn dude. I am really sorry to hear this. Just extremely unfortunate timing for this all to be happening. I wish I could help you in any way at all besides good thoughts. Take care of yourself and keep up the herbs and vitamins and such. Sure as shit can't hurt. [/quote]

I have a friend who is a nurse at the above hospitals. Was just updated by her this morning.
1. Baylor Dallas is running out of beds rapidly at the moment.
2. Both locations are out of masks and some other PPE and staff are now forced to share some reusable masks when with patients. (Not ideal at all...)
3. Hard decisions are being made at this moment as to which patients are getting a ventilator and who is left to fend for themselves.
4. They are not testing people that don't meet a very rigid definition of the illness.
5. My friend says a lot of staff have been exposed to active cases without proper precautions or protections in place. She is no longer going back home for the time being because she doesn't want to harm her family.
Curious if anyone else has any additional information from these or other area hospitals or can corroborate this info.
I trust her to a point but don't know her terribly well. If she is telling the truth, it means the scope of this thing in DFW is being massively downplayed and covered up. Which just falls in line with everywhere else I guess.
