I highly doubt he just felt a little parched and decided to go to the ER. I also wouldn’t suggest to others to diagnose themselves as dehydrated and go to an IV clinic (unless they perform medical check-ups from licensed physicians as well).
In an interview Monday with Business Insider, Adams said he went to the ER in Scottsdale, Arizona, in January after he became lightheaded while hiking on a work trip.
From his wiki he looks like a fit military figure who’s probably not had the many health complications (is also still in his 40’s). As a doctor himself and probably his colleagues around him (work trip), I imagine the recommendation is to get checked-up asap. It’s also kind of ironic you’re calling out the former Surgeon General and a licensed doctor while giving alternative medical advice lol.
It’s not even alternative medical advice though. You go to the ER for dehydration and they’re going to give you an IV of fluids and vitamins. I know because I’ve done it several times.
Whatever the Surgeon General’s issue was, I’m sure he knew what was best for him and of course go to the ER if you’re that bad.
But I’ve personally been in situations where an ER visit would have been warranted. I’m not talking just parched, it’s when I’ve been frequently vomiting for 18 hours every 20 minutes and severely dehydrated because of my migraines. But instead of needing the ER, it took 10 minutes to get an IV at an IV lounge that took care of it for far cheaper and quicker. And then I’m not taking up a bed from someone who could use it more.
There’s nothing wrong with getting IVs because the people administering them are trained nurses. It’s not “alternative medicine” because it’s literally what the ER gives you.
