O.k., I'll start with V.A. Cooperative Study 298. The patients were
randomized into two treatment arms: the first received 1500mg(that's
FIFTEEN HUNDRED, ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED, MC MILLIGRAMS OF AZT. I'm
sure being as dismissive as you are you'll state that, "oh, that was a
long time ago", we've learned that much lower daily dosages had the
same effect". I submit to you and your ilk that if this study is only
one of many, try to imagine what individual practitioners were
prescribing for individual situations. May I make one point very
clear, the American Heart Association recommendation for subacute
bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis in susceptible patients is 2 grams
of amoxycillin one hour prior to dental surgery. Why is this
relevant? I have not encountered one physician as of this date that
knows this. They are, every one of them, prescribing the wrong
amounts and types of drugs for this situation. If they can screw up
for this, why is it so difficult for you meatheads to understand that
they would be inconsistent in their treatment of AIDS and HIV? You
don't treat patients, you treat data, and, you do it poorly. jb
