A discussion on the challenges of algorithmic vs. personalized medicine

[In spite of the dull title, this is really interesting. Here are two snippets]

• To illustrate, as detailed in The War on Ivermectin, there were 80 lawsuits where families with a relative being subjected to the COVID hospital protocols, and was expected to die, had lawyer Ralph Lorigo sue the hospital for ivermectin to be administered to their relative. Of those 80 lawsuits, in 40 the judge sided with the family, and in 40 with the hospital. Of the 40 cases where ivermectin was given, 38 of the 40 patients survived. Of the 40 cases where the hospitals were allowed to withhold ivermectin, 2 of the 40 patients survived.

• ... hospitalized patients with sepsis still have a 24-35% chance of dying and one out of three hospital deaths occurs in a septic patient.
  This is noteworthy because if IV vitamin C is given within their first 6 hours at the hospital (along with thiamine and hydrocortisone), the risk of death drops to almost zero.
  The ICU doctors I know who use IV vitamin C have all seen this difference and think it is unconscionable it is not the standard of care—especially since it is affordable and there are no dangers associated with it. Nonetheless, that’s the way things are because there is conflicting evidence existing for the merits of this approach and the trusted authorities support the evidence arguing against its usage.
