Dr. John Littell has practiced family medicine since 1990. He has hospital privileges in two Florida cities, he was an Army physician for seven years, and during the pandemic he was one of a very small number of American doctors treating COVID patients with early, off-label therapy while hospitals, pharmacies, and medical boards worked to stop him. He walked wards where respiratory therapists quietly told him patients were going on ventilators too fast. He made house calls to people who were afraid to go in at all. And he organized the doctors who found each other on a twelve-person Zoom call into the meeting in San Juan that produced the Rome Declaration.
This is the full conversation with Jenny Beth Martin: what he saw inside those hospitals, what it cost him to say so out loud, and why he believes the next generation will never tolerate it again.
Guest: Dr. John Littell, board certified family physician in Ocala, Florida, in practice since 1990, former Army physician, and author of The Hidden Truth.
