The owner of Borrowdale Trauma Centre Dr Vivek Solanki has made a mistake on social media. He mistakenly asked a question on Twitter that evidenced that he is treating Covid-19 patients. His admittance comes after the Minister of Health Obadiah Moyo reiterated that all covid-19 patients are treated at Wilkins Hospital.
Cleveland Clinic MD @CleClinicMD posted on Twitter: Researchers are examining the prevalence and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with COVID-19
Dr Vivek Solanki @doksolanki responded:
I’m finding GE present in Covid-19 patients about halfway through their illness…is it due to Anzithromycin upsetting gut flora?
Dr Solanki’s response was circulated on social media. Some Twitter user asked: Upon reflection I wondered there are 9 known living COVID-19 patients in Zimbabwe, 1 in Vic Falls, is he treating the other 8 or which/how many of those 8 has presented with GE?
In an attempt to water down the fire he made a follow up post:
I should clarify that I find these on patients outside of Zimbabwe that I treat in neighboring countries…
Some Twitter users questioned: Now with this post, is he travelling to treat those patients outside Zim or are they travelling? Or is he treating online?
