Re: LUGOL-iodine AND iodide -- similar response from nurse


Hi r4,

I was talking to a friend who is a nurse at a local hospital yesterday. I asked her about a patient she had been treating on the burn unit for some time. This patient has something called Steve Johnson's disease (?) where your epidermis falls off and this particular patient has no skin above her knees at this point. So, I was asking about Iodine use on the burn unit (here in Richmond there was recently a house fire where 14 were killed/injured so VCU is pretty full) and she said, Oh, no, there are a lot of other things we use now and we are moving away from iodine! I started talking about Iodine and the skin (the building-from-the-inside-out process about which I have read) and the look on her face got blanker and blanker. I realized I probably sounded about as credible to her as I would have if I had just said, "Hey! I heard that hooking a burn patient up to a crack cocaine ventilator would REALLY help!" so I shut up pretty quickly.

But am again astonished at how the members of the healthcare community have blinders on to the detriment of the people they care for.

Laura
