Dr. Karan (NPR contributor): "....your discharge day shouldn't be tomorrow"

While we don’t know all the details here, I’ll say this— if you’re having dropping oxygen levels and being started on #dexamethasone, your discharge day shouldn’t be tomorrow.

1. Maybe they're throwing him out...

For being the world's worst patient

2. Trumps affinity for stepping on rakes makes me think they never should have said

that. Now if he can't get out tomorrow, it looks like he took a turn for the worse. I suspect that will happen. They should have left that alone, or at least said, he wants to go home, but we're planning on keeping him for at least a week. Then if it did look good to let him go early, they could claim he really beat it quick.

3. Dexamethasone is indicated for patients on oxygen, not for people who aren't.

Usually you have to be seriously ill to be prescribed it as it can harm your immune response. It is also usually given to people who have been sick for at least 7 days.
