The difference here is the political overlay. It has colored the reported data both nationally and internationally and unfortunately it has driven a lot of our hysterical response to it. It's hard to know much about the reality of this disease other that the many distressing anecdotes we keep...

Assuming that vaccination will accomplish the efficacy "they" would have us believe, yeah...I have no problem with administrative, maintenance, or ancillary staff at the hospital getting vaccinated. The hospital has to run. For patients ill from whatever cause...COVID or otherwise. As it...

I confess to a certain amount of ambivalence about the vaccination and skipped signing up for the first round at any of the hospitals where I'm on staff. No one in the first group seems to have dropped dead, so I went ahead in the second round. As a surgeon, I don't take care of COVID patients...

Amazing assumptions being demonstrated here on the basis of a simple question. Predictable, but eye-rolling nonetheless. :rolleyes:

The new AFS/Dynon EFIS that I’m installing can set up a WiFi network in the plane and I can log on with my iPhone or iPad. It will then let me upload a ForeFlight flight plan I built on any of those devices or make changes mid-flight. With the cellular capability, I can do that with latest METAR...

You can make phone calls with the iPad through your iPhone over FaceTime, but to use it for data requires that it have a cellular plan. The cellular capability is as useful as the GPS. You can't make phone calls from it as a primary device like you can with the Apple Watch, but you can add the...

I'm sure there's a way to cobble up a GPS connection on a non-cellular iPad, but for $130 extra for that feature...it seemed like a reasonable choice.

Don't hold your breath.

There can be a wide gulf between alcohol use, alcohol abuse, and alcohol dependence. Increasingly sophisticated lab testing for such things is not necessarily a good thing to have in the hands of a demonstrably overzealous regulatory agency like the FAA aeromedical branch. They are prone to...

Legally, a health care facility, hospitals, clinics, and private offices have to keep records 6 years. Or...for at least 10 years (I think) after a minor turns 18. Most hospitals keep records much longer than that, but older records were paper charts and storage is a major expense, as it...

Put the vaccination off for awhile, skipped the first round, but ultimately decided to go ahead. I got the first vaccination this morning (Pfizer) about 18 hours ago, feel fine. No big deal, no side effects (so far). Second dose in a couple of weeks. I'm now grounded for 48 hours, I guess, but...

I'm a surgeon. If I take care of a COVID patient, it's because it's a concomitant surgical emergency, or it's by accident...operating on someone who later proves to be COVID positive. My interaction with those patients is narrowly focused and their upper respiratory problem is a side issue for...

Regardless of stated credentials, there's no way to gauge competence on an internet discussion forum. I'm a physician, but virology, epidemiology, and vaccine science are way outside of my areas of expertise, so I likewise take an MD posting COVID information here, if there are any MDs posting...

No no...not at all. I mean...anecdotes from the internet....what could be more definitive? This thread is about opinions. I appreciate hearing yours.

What more proof do we need?

Internet forums, huh? How could anyone refute such compelling evidence?

They’re DuraCells

$17 for 48 batteries.

My wife has horses and rides dressage competition. I never hear a word about the time or the money I spend on aviation.

None. On your next MedXPress, list the visit as "removal of skin lesion". If it's in situ, they don't need to know any more.
