Letter to Hospitals and Doctors…read more Subject: Medical Practitioner Death and the Solution to Disinfect the Air Cond System of Hospitals The reports of medical frontlines increasing death is a question of why. They are well equipped with PPE and are the most qualified to know the dangers and strengths of the need for health safety such as wearing PPE, against the virus. The answer lies in that the most unanticipated source of contamination has not been eliminated altogether. This is the virus transmission caused by the air conditioning system in the hospital. Check the following: 1. Air condition operating principle. a. Air cond units have air discharge and exhaust that circulate air in a given closed room. b. When running, air condition temperature would be at least 24C, way below the virus limit to life temperature of 28C. Therefore air cond rooms are a good place for the virus to thrive. c. Each air-cond unit has an air filter which must be detached and cleaned to keep the room air quality sanitized. 2. Physical characteristics of the coronavirus. a. It can thrive in temperature up to 28before it dies down gradually. b. The distance the virus can travel is normally up to 1meter but can be longer depending on the strength of its discharge (sneezing or mouth droplets). c. The virus uses the moist of droplets and sneezes to survive. When this dries up the virus begins to deteriorate without its host moisture. Solutions to stop the virus circulation in the room. a. Clean the air cond units and disinfect the entire units at least once a month during this pandemic period. Use standard procedure of soap & water. And final air drying. b. Clean the air filter of the air cond separately from the unit. i. Take out the filter and avoid direct contact. ii. Wash thoroughly the filter with soap and water, meaning back to back. iii. Dry the filter at least 10 to 20 % moisture content if possible 100% dry. Do not wring but drip dry or air dry. iv. After drying the filter spray the filter with disinfectant end to end and back to back. v. Have a spare filter per air cond and change the filter every end of the day. The used filter can be again washed, dry, and disinfected as per above. If the filter is dischargeable, discharge to the trash can, use the procedure of hospital discharges. vi. When cleaning the air cond and filter the technician must wear PPE to ensure there is no contamination to himself. vii. Ditto, when daily pulling out the filter and replacing it with a new filter, both newly washed and disinfected filter or disposable filter. Also, medical workers must have separate dressing rooms to change and wear their PPE. No patient must be allowed inside such a room. a. The PPE dressing room must not have the personal effects and bags of the medical worker. Keep the room bare except for closet and shoe shelves and maybe benches. b. Disinfect the room every end of the day. If this goes unchecked the death will simply go on unknowing what is causing it. Other areas of the hospital must also be disinfected. c. The canteen must be disinfected wall to wall table to table. d. All cooking utensils, dishes, and cutlery must be disinfected after every use. e. All other rooms in the hospital must be similarly disinfected. Note: This procedure must also be used for malls, rooms, and halls where people assemble or gather for any purpose such as to dine, conference, seminar, shop, etc. Prepared by: Prof. Ernesto Abaya Guzman ME MM Ph.D. (cand) Loyola Height, Quezon City Philippines Email: guzaba2003@yahoo.com Cell: +63 9202167762 Note: 1.

When my 10 yr old daughter fell badly and broke her leg during our trip in Paris (a long and…read moresomewhat frightening story...especially for fellow parents), Necker children's hospital was a godsend. We knew it was a good place when Parisian acquaintances nodded and smiled when they heard the ambulance was taking her there. In retelling our tale to friends, we now affectionately refer to Necker as the "Lucile Packard of Paris" The staff was wonderful and supportive, and the care my daughter received was first rate. The amount of English spoken here, along with my wife's and my French, was enough to get us by quite well. We always felt they were putting our daughter's health and happiness first, which of course is the whole idea. My wife would also like to report that their fold-out futon couches are VERY comfortable. She stayed on one for a couple of nights. We had a few strange surprises (e.g. wheelchairs or crutches could not be obtained or rented from the hospital) but this was just French health care, not Hopitaux Necker. (Otherwise French health care worked just fine, thank you). Of course this incident put a damper on further Paris sightseeing until our flight home, but the important thing is my daughter is back home in CA (has been for weeks now), and she is happy, healthy and healing very quickly. We are feeling very fortunate indeed.

We communicated in a mixture of French and English. He knew his stuff about Asthma, and got me set with scrips.

I always hesitate to see a Doctor abroad, and my advice is: Don't hesitate!

EXCELLENT CARE. VERY COMPETENT DOCTOR…read more I discovered Dr. Pandraud through the American Hospital in Paris, but he also has a private office. Dr. Pandraud speaks English. He is the BEST ENT I have ever seen in the world. Firstly for his effective treatments that rarely involve medication and secondly for his availability and compassion. When I am in the area, it means I have taken an airplane and sometimes I'll have plugged ears that don't go away. I can always get an appointment with Dr. Pandraud pretty easily. He does some manoeuvrings and then has me drink water and bing! Like magic my ears feel better. He has also helped me with sinus infections and very effective nasal lavage. This is a technique that empties the sinuses thereby relieving congestion and the resulting headaches. You feel better instantly without medication. Finally, since I trust him more than any other ENT in the states, I decided to come here when I needed laser surgery to remove polyps in my nasal sinus. The procedure is simple. I used to get chronic sinusitis (one nostril would always be blocked). I would be sick with a stuffy nose at least once a month. Additionally, every little cold turned into a week-long ordeal with painful sinus headaches. Now, thanks to Dr. Pandraud, I can blow my nose and any seasonal flus go away in a day or two and I am almost never sick. If you need laser surgery in your nose or throat and you have the possibility to see Dr. Pandraud, I believe the trip is definitely worth it.

I went to see Dr. Luc in Paris based on the previous review left in 2011. I went because I was sick…read morewith bronchitis for a period of about 3 weeks and wanted to take care of it without antibiotics (due to bad response to antibiotics previously). Yes, the doctor was a very nice and polite man and he did speak english reasonably well. After I called him, he agreed to see me that same evening. He ended up cleaning my sinuses and even stayed late on a Friday night to do so, which I think is unheard of in US. The important piece of information that is missing is that he charges 100 EUR per visit which explains his fantastic office on Champs-Elyseés and the very chic decor in the waiting room. Having been to another doctor in Paris and having paid 23 EUR per visit there (about the norm), which was a pretty bad experience overall, I can clearly say Dr. Luc's services are not tailored for the average man, based on the clientele I saw in the waiting room. So if you can afford 100 EUR visits, go ahead - enjoy the experience! He is a good doctor and seems to be a nice man. But I thought I'd mention the price tag.
