COVID-19 Insights: Kids, Medications, and State Updates
“We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.”
When Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine take a break from their usual addiction-focused content, you know it’s for something crucial. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', they tackle the COVID-19 pandemic head-on with a trio of expert guests. First up is Dr. Aimee Sznewajs, medical director of Children’s Hospital inpatient pediatrics, who dives into how COVID-19 affects kids. Her insights are eye-opening, especially for parents worried about the pandemic's impact on their little ones.
Next, Chris Hagen, PharmD, brings us the latest medication updates, shedding light on what treatments are proving effective and what’s still in the experimental stages. Finally, Dr. John Hick, known as the Pandemic Doctor, provides a comprehensive state update, discussing how the virus is being managed at a broader level. The episode doesn’t shy away from complex topics like atypical presentations of COVID-19 in children and its effects on diabetics.
There’s also valuable information on long-term care facilities and how they’re adapting to the ongoing crisis. If you’re looking for a well-rounded update on COVID-19 from trusted medical professionals, this episode is a must-listen.
