SO, since I had the virus, I figure: hey, I could maybe be immune, I’ll volunteer at an inner city hospital. So I am applying to one in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago(inner city). This presents issues, in that it has been many years since I did inpatient neurology. I have been teaching med students the past year, mostly outpatient neurology. I have discovered Youtube videos, incredibly great lectures on all aspects of neurology. I have switched my focus from multiple sclerosis, dementia, headache, neuropathy, epilepsy, Parkinsons TO: stroke, meningitis, bleeding in the brain, status epileptics(continuous seizures). My knowledge base for these conditions goes back some years, but I am discovering, it(sort of) comes back, like riding a bike. I am studying. I have a (free) neurology/psychiatry clinic in Honduras, there we do see some acute emergency neurology, but it is usually the typical outpatient neurology. I am supposed to interview at the hospital this week. I will keep you informed……..and keep studying…..ciao…..adios…..para ahora………..

Hi Dr. Robbins, This is fantastic! But I’m wondering does this mean that you feel once you’ve had the virus you are now immune to it? Or just immune to the strain you have had? If it is the latter won’t you be putting yourself in harm’s way? Please give your thoughts! Take care, Ross
probably immune for 6 to 12 months or longer..but nobody knows…….I am not too worried……Thanks…L.Robbins
Maybe you could give some plasma, Dr. Robbins? I heard they may be taking that from people who have had the virus so that other people can be given that.
for sure I am going to do this………it definitely can help….
