NURSE ADMINISTERS LETHAL DOSE OF MORPHINE AND LORAZEPAM TO PATIENT IN FRONT OF PATIENT’S DAUGHTER
Patient Given 100% Oxygen Through Bi-Pap Machine Making it Extremely Hard to Breathe or Speak
On the morning of January 17, 2022, mom had symptoms similar to her 2006 stroke, with confusion and one-sided weakness. Once she got a bed in the Emergency Room (ER) at Yuma Regional Medical Centre, it was found that she had a low oxygen saturation and was put on hospital oxygen. I gave them a list of her medications and our address in Canada, as we were travelling.
Her chest X-ray (I seriously questioned if this was actually her X-ray and thought her name was added) stated bacterial pneumonia, yet she barely had a cough. I was not sick and we are in close quarters all of the time.
I took photos and videos of mom and the monitors throughout her ordeal, just in case. They started her on steroids and antibiotics. Mom’s oxygen saturation had risen to 100%. However, when the ER doctor arrived, against mom’s wishes, he had her take a PCR test and now she suddenly had Covid; we saw no proof that she was positive. He said it was not a stroke at all. He insisted on Remdesivir but Mom refused and asked for Ivermectin to which he refused; he stated that it wasn’t FDA approved for Covid treatment.
Momma was stable when the Registered Nurse (RN) told me to leave at 10:00 PM, as they had a room on a Unit to continue the oxygen, but the look of terror on mom’s beautiful face, asking me not to leave, will haunt me forever!
The next day they would not let me see her. I spoke with her on the room phone after she had breakfast and she said she was going to be discharged the next day, January 19. On January 19, I was called and they said I could see her for one allotted hour. When I got there, they told me she was dying and I had better stay a bit longer! I was shocked that this could happen after leaving her the first night and yesterday she told me she was about to be discharged on January 19.
Mom was now hooked up to a BiPap machine at 100% making her breathe extremely hard and they had her doped up through her IV. She couldn’t understand anything, nor speak. She was given nothing by mouth due to aspiration risk. The several doctors and RNs standing around mom would only tell me her decline was due to Covid.
I insisted she be allowed to leave with an oxygen prescription but they said she would die before she got to the front door. I asked for her to be transferred to a hospital that would give her Ivermectin and her regular Hydroxychloroquine, and Hydroxyurea (necessary medication to keep her rare blood disorder in check), but we were refused.
A Palliative RN was condescending and said momma was dying and to call the family. The medical report which I obtained immediately, has several lies, including that we both agreed to “comfort care” which means getting ready to die. I said mom has at least 20 years left to live because she’s healthy. Unfortunately, the palliative nurse called again on the morning of January 20, and said Mom had another bad turn and was put in the Intensive Care Unit; they were about to intubate and put her on a ventilator and would do it with or without me there. She also said that those two procedures would likely kill mom, but that when she asked mom if she wanted to end her life, Mom nodded. I was angry, and told the RN to stay away from mom. Momma was so doped up, how did the RN get an answer from her?
I coincidently met the lady pastor as I was sitting in the parking lot and I am afraid they fed her a line, because she was very adamant that I should help end mom’s suffering because all of mom’s organs were failing. I was so stunned and grieving already and asked my family to meet me on Skype by mom’s bed in ICU. I spoke to the critical care doctor and he said yes, mom was not going to make it through the night. I went to mom and she was very agitated and the nurse who liked mom said there was nothing more they could do for mom and she didn’t have long, but we should make her comfortable. Startlingly, devoid of emotion, he went to mom’s IV and administered Morphine and Lorazepam, in a lethal dose. Several moments later, he removed momma’s BiPap.
Mom’s death was a horrific nightmare and so egregious that I vow I will never stop looking for justice for my momma.
I am in tears reading this. It brought back similar facts of what happened to my father. And he was only sent to ER because he feel and had a skin tear. It was traumatic and no regard for him and what he needed. I hired a lifeflight and set up a transfer yet the oncoming dr of the day stopped it. He said it was too risky, I said put him on the lifeflight, I’ll sign a waiver and he threatened me that he’ll just tell the accepting hospital that he’s worse. Which he did. But my Dad was not worse. He was in a regular bed with just a telemetry monitor on. They ended up sedating him, a week later put him on bi-pap. This was all intentional. They killed my dad, as they killed your mom.
I am so sorry for your pain of what you and your mom went through. I know exactly how you feel. They lied and were careless with her. I have no words of comfort as only the truth getting out will help ease any of our suffering. The truth and then punishment for these murders.
I am a nurse. I am ashamed at what they did to your sweet Mom. I am disgusted that nobody cared. The medical/ nursing profession has been corrupted. Nobody will ever trust them again. I don’t trust them. I have been a nurse for 35 years. It has never crossed my mind to do what they did. Your mother came for care not to be killed... sheer Godlessness... I am so sorry.
