VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - Some South Georgia doctors say a COVID-19 treatment helps patients recover quickly and keeps hospitalizations down.
South Georgia Medical Center (SGMC) started providing this treatment in December and they’ve already used it on about 1,000 patients.
Health officials said the results have been amazing.
“I’ve been able to have the benefits right in my own neighborhood where neighbors have received it that are at a very high risk and could have had a bad outcome and then they are out walking their dog the next day. I mean it’s drastic and it’s been amazing as a provider to be able to watch your patience do so well,” said Dr. Elizabeth Flail, assistant medical director in the emergency department.
