PART 1 - DAUGHTER STATES THAT LACK OF NUTRITION, NO WATER, TOO MUCH FORCED OXYGEN, AND SEDATION DRUGS = RECIPE FOR DEATH FOR HER MOM
Hospital Staff Insists They Will Not Resuscitate Unless Patient is Ventilated
My mother went to the ER via ambulance on April 20, 2023, in the afternoon. She had been sick a few days and now was very short of breath. They did a rapid Covid test and it was negative. So, they tested again with a PCR and, of course, it was positive. (My cousin, his wife and 2 kids from North Carolina were guests at her house while in town. They had been exposed to Covid from a birthday party and I think that’s how my mom got it.)
When I heard she was in the ER (I live an hour away), I called to check on her. The nurse I spoke to said, “She is Covid negative, but has pneumonia. She’s on antibiotics and will be fine.” I was so relieved. Later around 12:30 AM (Friday morning) my sister-in-law gets a call from the ER saying she wants to be taken home. She briefly spoke to my mom and she said, “Get me out of here, it is crazy here!” So, she went to the ER to see what was going on. She called me as she was speaking to the Physician Assistant (PA) on her case. He stressed how sick she was (over and over). I told Kim to tell him, DO NOT give her Remdesivir! Well, they already did. Without consent. Kim handed her phone to the PA so I could talk to him and I said, “Take her off that crap NOW!!!” I was furious!
I drove to the ER hoping to take my mom home. When I got there, they kept telling us over and over how sick she was. Of course, they wanted to put her on the ventilator. I said, “Nope, not gonna happen.” Well, then they stalked me with a Do Not Resuscitate to sign since “without a vent, they won’t resuscitate,” which is absurd. I had no choice but to sign, my mom would NEVER want to be intubated.
They had her on Bi-Pap, but she did NOT like it; it was impossible to breathe. They had to give her Ativan to calm her down enough to keep the mask on. When that wore off, she would beg us to take her home. The PA insisted she would not make it if she left. She needs oxygen. I said, “We have an O2 concentrator at home.” He said that would not be enough, her oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) was in the 80’s. She was very weak. My family was worried that we couldn’t take care of her at home. Eventually, we talked her into staying. Biggest regret of my Life.
She was in the ER for two days, then they put her in the Intensive Care Unit. On Friday night when I called, they said I could not visit. They thought I was Covid positive. No idea where they got that from, so I didn’t go on Saturday. On Sunday, April 23, 2023, the hospital called and said they decided to “allow” me to visit, since my mom wasn’t doing well. Even though when I spoke to a nurse, she said her O2 Sat was pretty good. So, I visited on Sunday. She was completely out of it and didn’t even know I was there because of the sedation and the forced air with the Bi-Pap. I stayed with her about 3 - 4 hours and watched her oxygen level. It was not bad, in the low 90’s. I noticed she had soft restraints on her wrists. Since she looked like she was getting better, I didn’t make waves about it as I thought she would be coming home soon. And I knew she would remove her mask and I wanted her to have oxygen. Although I noticed how severely the Bi-Pap moved her chest up and down, I really think that did more to damage her lungs and make her pneumonia worse.
On Sunday night, April 23, I was not able to go see her so I called and asked them to give her Ivermectin (which I had been asking for all along) and they refused, of course. Finally, they agreed but said she needed a feeding tube since it was oral medication. I also asked for mega doses of Vitamin C. “We only have oral. We’ll attempt to put a feeding tube in.” This didn’t happen until Monday and then Tuesday AM it was clogged. They had every excuse in the book to NOT treat her correctly. When I spoke to a nurse on Monday, her O2 Sat was good, high 90’s all day.
Then on Tuesday, April 25, while on my way to the hospital, I get this frantic, almost theatrical, phone call from the doctor. He asked how long before I would get there. I said about an hour. He said her O2 Sat was in the 30’s and to come as quickly as I could. I didn’t understand how it dropped that low all of a sudden. I get there and her O2 Sat did show in the 30’s. However, I don’t understand how it is possible she survived the hour it took me to get there with that O2 Sat?!?
We decided to try Budesonide nebulizer with a high-flow nasal cannula and give her a break from the Bi-Pap (at the recommendation of a PA friend). So, they confirmed with me, “So we are taking off the Bi-Pap?” I said, “If she can’t breathe without it, no, I want it back on.” The nurse said, “Oh OK, so we’re just giving her a break then.” “Yes,” I said. Then we all (except the breathing therapist) had to leave the room during the Budesonide treatment due to supposed aerosol of Covid from the nebulizer. No sooner did I leave, the doctor called me and said she is doing worse. I came back in. I said, “She is not breathing!” He tried to tell me that she was, just slower. But she wasn’t! The doctor said he won’t put the Bi-Pap back on! So, I held her hand as they let her suffocate to death for 20 minutes! They pumped her with Morphine! One nurse came over to check her insulin!!! Really??? She’s dying!!! It was all for show. They were all watching and waiting for her to die! It was sick! As soon as she flatlined, the nurses rushed to check her heartbeat. Explained they needed two people to confirm that she had passed. They wasted no time removing the IV’s and everything they had her on. The doctor was gone at this point. Left me devastated and traumatized!
