  • Why SARS-Cov-2 Is Deserving Of Having The Playbook Used For The Prevention, Treatment, And Management Of HIV Applied To It

    ResearchGate

    There are an untold number of individuals who are suffering globally from a chronic SARS-Cov-2 infection and are desperately searching for answers as more of their autonomy leaves them on a daily basis. Unafraid of traveling back in time 40 years, to when we were met with HIV/AIDS in the United States, I have relied upon a number of resources, poured over hundreds of journal articles and have provided all that would be required for one to arrive at the conclusion it is the HIV playbook that…

    There are an untold number of individuals who are suffering globally from a chronic SARS-Cov-2 infection and are desperately searching for answers as more of their autonomy leaves them on a daily basis. Unafraid of traveling back in time 40 years, to when we were met with HIV/AIDS in the United States, I have relied upon a number of resources, poured over hundreds of journal articles and have provided all that would be required for one to arrive at the conclusion it is the HIV playbook that needs to be dusted off, if we are to make any traction whatsoever.

  • Millions Of Americans Would Give Anything To Have SAND Between Their Toes, Instead It Is Between Their Ears

    With the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has also come a strong desire to use newly invented words to describe that which millions are suffering from. We have seen disseminated intravascular coagulation described as microclots and most disturbingly, neurocognitive impairment of the same magnitude as HIV Associated Neurocognitive Decline described as “brain fog.”
    Whether the use of these newly created terms are a result of intellectual laziness to learn the appropriate term or an attempt to downplay the…

    With the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has also come a strong desire to use newly invented words to describe that which millions are suffering from. We have seen disseminated intravascular coagulation described as microclots and most disturbingly, neurocognitive impairment of the same magnitude as HIV Associated Neurocognitive Decline described as “brain fog.”
    Whether the use of these newly created terms are a result of intellectual laziness to learn the appropriate term or an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the pathophysiological processes taking place, one thing is crystal clear: irreparable harm has resulted. Patients have been deprived of being able to sit in the comfort of their homes, some bedbound due to profound disability, and research a wide body of literature related to their condition. Policymakers have been deprived of that upon which they could rely to assess the gravity of the situation.
    Borrowing from a virus that has enjoyed intense study for the past forty years and uses the same mechanism for Central Nervous System reservoir seeding, I am going to refer to “brain fog” as what it should have been called from day one, SARS-Cov-2 Associated Neurocognitive Decline. You should, as well.

  • Athletic Injuries: Insight Gleaned After County-Wide Expidemiological Study

    TAPHERD

    In order to graduate high school, I conducted a county-wide epidemiological study in concert with STAR Physical Therapy and the Bone & Joint Clinic. After consulting with Drs. Eric Zemper & Stephen Marshal, I perfected the data collection forms. Data was collected at every practice and game during the Fall sports season. The findings were included in a report that gave rise to a presentation that I gave in May of 2000.

  • Labs To Pull For The Non-Hospitalized After Contracting SARS-Cov-2

    -

    Without question, I believe one of the gravest mistakes that was made at the beginning of the pandemic was encouraging individuals to stay home instead of having the same labs drawn that were being performed in those hospitalized. After all, only one in five Americans have an annual physical and SARS-Cov-2 was a novel virus. One should have been able to arrive at the conclusion that physiological processes were being disturbed in all individuals who contracted the virus, with more severe…

    Without question, I believe one of the gravest mistakes that was made at the beginning of the pandemic was encouraging individuals to stay home instead of having the same labs drawn that were being performed in those hospitalized. After all, only one in five Americans have an annual physical and SARS-Cov-2 was a novel virus. One should have been able to arrive at the conclusion that physiological processes were being disturbed in all individuals who contracted the virus, with more severe aberrations seen in those who found themselves in the hospital. Because of my knowledge, I prepared a list of labs for a family member to have pulled and a result, saved them from a Type II Diabetes diagnosis and discovered decreased kidney function. Following are the labs that I would request be pulled were I to contract SARS-Cov-2 and is provided with the understanding that I am not offering medical advice.

  • We Were Not PrEPared For The Band To Still Be Playing: Applying The HIV Prevention And Treatment Framework To SARS-Cov-2

    -

    This is not the first time that our country has been met with unspecified pneumonia that results in viral persistence and a marked reduction in an individual’s lymphocytes accompanied by an abhorrent response by the government. For a number of extremely compelling reasons, I will outline how applying the framework that has all but changed the HIV epidemic in this country should be applied to SARS-Cov-2.

Projects

  • Estate Litigation Support

    - Present

    Relying upon a semester of mock trial in 1997, I have been able to successfully assist in the prosecution of an estate litigation matter in which the causes of action are breach of fiduciary duty and undue influence.

    I have authored responses to five attempts at dismissal and am five for five.

  • Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura Lecture

    Was required to give a lecture in high school on a disease of interest.

    I decided upon Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura.

    As can be ascertained by its name, there is no known etiology for ITP. It is marked by splenomegaly (abnormal enlargement of spleen) as well as petechial hemorrhaging on the extremities.

    The derangement that this disease causes results in the body's inability to clot. Current therapeutic remedies include corticosteroids and splenectomy, both of which…

    After reaching out to an old client through Facebook, I was engaged by a startup in Memphis, Tennessee to architect and develop an Electronic Medical Record software program that would allow DOT Certified Medical Examiners the ability to complete a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration required medical exam.

    Relying upon nineteen year's worth of exposure to medical terminology and anatomy & physiology as well as the digestion of FMCSA guidelines, I architected a software program that manages Commercial Motor Vehicle drivers and their medical exams.

    It comes complete with:

    Carrier Module: General Information, Contacts, Terminals
    Drivers: General & Contact Information
    Medical Professional Module: General & Contact Information, Specialty Information, License Information

    The medical exam component comes complete with those features found in traditional EMRs.
