He Couldn't Reach His Food Or Water

He Was Never Gotten Out of Bed Or Even Turned

Dorene Catu shares the heartrending story of her husband’s struggle and ultimate passing due to what she believes were harmful EUA protocols, including the use of remdesivir, in a hospital setting.

Dorene fondly remembers her husband as a humble, healthy man of 43, a loving father, and a vibrant member of the community. He was deeply involved in charitable work through a non-profit organization aiding children in various countries. Additionally, he was an up-and-coming musician, whose life and career were full of promise and positivity.

Tragically, her husband fell ill with a fever and, despite initially testing negative for COVID-19, his condition worsened. Dorene describes the fear and confusion they experienced, exacerbated by the hospital’s COVID-19 protocols which isolated her husband and limited her ability to advocate for his care. She recounts the harrowing days he spent in the emergency room without proper attention, the lack of communication from medical staff, and her desperate attempts to ensure he received the care he needed.

As his condition deteriorated, he was placed on remdesivir, which Dorene believes contributed to his decline. She talks about her frustration and helplessness, watching him suffer, unable to breathe properly, and not receiving adequate care. The situation reached a critical point when he was put on a ventilator, a decision that was made without her consent and contrary to what she had been told.

Dorene’s account is marked by moments of deep despair and anger, as she witnessed her husband’s condition worsen due to what she perceived as neglect and inappropriate medical treatment. She questions the use of certain medications and the delay in administering potentially beneficial treatments like monoclonal antibodies.

The impact of her husband’s passing on Dorene and her family is profound. She speaks of the mental and emotional toll, likening it to PTSD, and the difficulty of coping with everyday life after such a traumatic experience. Her narrative is a stark reminder of the personal tragedies behind the statistics of the pandemic.
