Ummmm....perhaps it may be wise to be more skeptical of "medical people" and investigate their profiles as well.....

I'd say yes and no. There are good and bad in everything. You do have folks that treat based on guidelines and rubrics. More common in some specialties (I'm looking at you cardiology!). Folks that focus on the physiology angle and treat the patient and not the number are harder to come by but worth their weight in gold.

To that end I agree you need to do your homework on who you let take care of you and your family.

As far as the details of the post--well, he doesn't really know what is required to become a physician.

It took this man 6 virtual appointments with doctors and nurses, one call to a hotline, a trip to urgent care, 2 ER visits, and 2 incorrect diagnoses before an infectious disease specialist diagnosed him with monkeypox.

So, once again, we have a vector showing behavior being a key factor. Safe sex practices are hardly news. Its just that people don't seem to take the warnings seriously.

From the State of Virginia website:

MONKEYPOX IN VIRGINIA - Surveillance and Investigation

Information on incidence by age group:

Monkeypox Cases by Age Group*
Age GroupTotal (Percent of Cases)
<20 years old0 (0%)
20 - 29 years old53 (36.6%)
30 - 39 years old55 (37.9%)
40 - 49 years old27 (18.6%)
50 - 59 years old7 (4.8%)
≥ 60 years old3 (2.1%)
Not reported0 (0%)

*Data as of August 8, 2022. The Virginia Department of Health updates these data by 10 a.m. on business days based on data entered by 5 p.m. the prior day. All data are preliminary and subject to change based on additional reporting. Cases include confirmed (monkeypox) and probable (orthopoxvirus) cases using the CDC Case Definition, adopted July 12, 2022. To protect patient confidentiality, VDH will provide cases by region, not by health district, until five or more cases are identified in each district


Anyone born before about 1970 in this country would likely have been vaccinated for smallpox. If vaccination was administered to toddlers (age 2 or so), then anyone aged 52 or older has smallpox vaccination, which ceased in the United States after 1972.

It appears from this sample that most cases are occurring in those in their 20's, 30's and 40's, with relatively few cases in those above age 50. There could be other reasons -- behavioral, for example, but the sharp drop-off is quite noticeable.

If someone had the smallpox vaccine but later became immune-compromised, that would affect their protection. Also, there could be immigrants of that age group who for one reason or another were never vaccinated for smallpox.

The absence of cases in those younger than 20 is welcome news and does indicate that community spread is not occurring right now in Virginia on a significant scale, since that age group would not be vaccinated for smallpox.

For perspective... remember to multiply # by 10, or 100, or whatever makes sense in your own mind
The infection # is from the CDC table above.

DeGoes said if an airman falls within the medical guidelines for the vaccine, the Air Force will provide it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the vaccine for people who have been exposed to the disease, someone whose sexual partner has gotten the disease in the last two weeks, people who have had multiple sexual partners in an area with a known monkeypox outbreak and people whose jobs expose them to monkeypox. Those people include laboratory workers and public health workers.

From India:

skin lesion condition

The researchers found that the new variants seen in this outbreak of monkeypox included new symptoms, including the problem of visible lesions on the skin, medically known as ‘salatory lesions’. Generally such houses are of small size. Experts say that special care needs to be taken to diagnose these lesions, as they appear like other skin problems.


tonsil problems

Some infected with monkeypox have also reported the problem of enlarged tonsils in the throat. Such symptoms were not seen in the earlier variants. Sore throat can also be a problem with tonsils. Experts say that if a patient is having trouble with the tonsils with small lesions on the skin, then he must be tested for monkeypox infection. Early detection of the disease can prevent it from taking a serious form.

Have you seen the line outside a plasma-for-cash establishment?






Red Cross beginning to screen blood donors for monkeypox


A spokesperson for the agency told STAT via email that routine measures used to determine blood donor eligibility — like temperature checks and health questionnaires — should be sufficient to prevent individuals with symptomatic infections from donating blood. And she noted that at this time there are no blood screening tests available that could test for the presence of monkeypox virus in the general population.

In addition to the temperature checks that are part of standard health screens for prospective donors, the American Red Cross is adding arm examinations to check for lesions.

"Monkeypox transmits when people are in close personal contact and kids in small classrooms, particularly with bad ventilation which many classrooms are, are at risk," Dr. F. Perry Wilson, Assoc. Professor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, said.

It’s all here.
By following the thread, I found that the article is archived.
They guessed initially it was eczema, scabies, or a form of herpes?
It presented a little unusually but was progressing so rapidly one doctor finally realized it was monkeypox.

It was a nurse who recognized it, during a virtual appointment, when she saw lesions spreading towards his eyes and told him to go to ER immediately
