    Myotonic Dystrophy so muscle dystrophy, can be fatal due to respiratory failure it said.

    So def pre existing condition causing him to die.

    Yeah I had to end up looking into it too. From what I saw it said Diabetes and Hypersensitive lung disease. Pmh just means past medical history.

    Will be lucky if this guy recovers. Lord knows why he was traveling during this time

    Does PMH DM 2 translates into he has diabetes?

    It means he has a Past Medical History (PMH) of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2)

    It’s a common way of abbreviating things in doctor’s notes

    these lockdowns mean s*** if its not gonna be enforced by law and have fines tied to not cooperating

    what if the arresting officers are not diagnosed and they end up spreading it to the people they come in contact? Unless you're suggesting we waste test on them right now?

    Not much, it’s just common practice to list a patient’s medical history at the beginning of a case presentation to give the reader a better idea about the patient’s general health

    oh ok i think i get what your saying people who have weak immune systems or lung diseases have a lesser chance fighting this ?

    Someone read this and tell me if it looks like he’s getting better or worse. Medical speak can be difficult.

    It means he’s getting better. They’re weaning him off the ventilator so that he can breath on his own

    That’s what I thought but it seemed like they were also being bleak about it too.
