Loved this story! The best medication comes from the loving, compassionate heart of a doctor, nurse, or other care giver. So many in the medical profession have forgotten this, but not Dr. Varon and the other amazing human beings at the FLCCC.

Although I am in the middle of six books, including the War on Ivermectin, I'm buying this immediately! My cousin in Houston and I have wanted to start a Dr. Varon fan club for months. Dr. Varon was my north star during the tsunami of fear and disinformation that came at us for years, that particular picture on the cover being the way I could remember that compassion still existed. He speaks ten languages, didn't take a day off for literally years, hugged his staff and patients AND used ivermectin. Those people whose neocortex doesn't flash red in the presence of sugar perhaps won't know how life affirming a doughnut can be, although, alas, I haven't had one in twenty or so years lol.

I love them too, but they don’t seem to love us… You’re a good man, “Charlie Brown.”

Dr Varone. I am in tears. God bless you. You remind me that there are still doctors out there that take their oath seriously.

Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story. Much love and profound respect.

I ordered Dr. Varon's book as soon as I finished watching the webinar on Wednesday night, however, it was not easy to find it. I did a search on Amazon's site and it didn't come up. I tried Barnes and Noble, as well as a couple of other sites and it was not there. I googled the title and it still didn't appear on any site. When I switched to duckduckgo to do a search and put in the title, the Amazon link for the book appeared. Such a sneaky way to try to keep people from ordering the book!

I have a somewhat similar story. My mother was a physician. One of her patients had cancer and was dying. He had not much time left. The hospital’s rules were that no alcohol was allowed. My mom reviewed his chart and the meds he was taking. She then brought him his favorite bourbon in a small canning jar. He couldn’t drink much at that point. But a tablespoon or two gave him so much pleasure. He died a couple of weeks later. His family remembered my mother’s kindness.

This was forty years ago. I bet if she was alive today, she’d do it again. If someone is dying, cannot we give them some simple pleasures during their last few days in earth? Obviously smoking with oxygen is out. But, as long as their are no contraindications with the meds, maybe a little taste of what they previously enjoyed would be appreciated.
