the "doctor" responded that no, it was never in the low 80s. Unless I missed it, he skipped right past the upper 80s while pretending he was answering her question.

Dana Bash said Dr. Conley actually told her that he wanted to avoid alarming people by giving a more rosy picture. Of course, but to say so right out?

Sorry, but you can't claim you are getting better if you have Covid and are still experiencing sudden O2 drops.

(127,330 posts)and then if you are still sick and pull it out, after some time, the O2 levels will start slowly dropping and dropping until it hits some level below the 90s that is considered concerning.
I.e., leaving it in, you can maintain the levels. Take it out and the saturation levels will drop.
So obviously he is REFUSING to keep it in and after some time, the O2 levels start dropping again and then they have to try to force him to put it back in again to bring the levels back up. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

who had bilateral lung contusions from an MVA. He was on 6 liters face mask. He was okay on that at 93%. But, he didn't like wearing the mask. On RA, he would desat to 84%. He just didn't get it. I had to calculate whether he could stay on the floor, or needed an ICU bed to maintain his sats. But, none was available.
The guy and his family thought that he knew better, and I suppose that he couldn't feel the desat like I could see it. People like their autonomy, but that was ridiculous.
