Neglect

“"you definitely get a very nasty treatment from some of them... there's always the incompetence as well.”

“I was in the ER for a day and a half. Like, I was literally...because they don't open a closed, ICU unit unless they have five patients waiting because it's just not financially...”

“And it really wasn't long after that that I lost control of my care.”

“"I had one night nurse that was really scary... I was kinda calling out because I time was ticking.”

“"they over oxygenated me, and now I understand that they do that because it hastens your demise. But, no mouth care with with the high oxygen.”

“"the fact of the matter is, as I I was almost to the point of dying... if I had gotten that protocol with supplemental oxygen when I first went to the hospital, I probably would have been there for three days and gone, just like colonel West.”

“"I'm not okay. I'm being neglected and abused in this hospital, and they are going to kill me.”

“"And they had intravenously giving me giving me so much diuretics that I could not control my bowels or my bladder. I could not control myself, and they did it intentionally because no food well, no nutrition. You know, you're you're going on what is that? Thirteen days no nutrition, so I'm weak as hell. First seven days, I didn't even have water. No personal care. No mouth care. The whole time I was there, I had thrush. I had all these awful things going on.”

“"my husband would say, budesonine every four hours, one milligram of budesonine every four hours won't hurt her... Ivermectin won't hurt her. No. But it won't work... They did give me one round of remdesivir that I did not want... they had me listed as a DNR the whole time I was there as a DNR... we were quite clear that that was not the case.”

“"Well, we waited and waited in the waiting room, and they never came to get us.”

“"Yes. He did. Both cheeks. ... And I stayed on him about that.”

“"I said, okay. Everybody's little merry Christmas is over with because our Christmas wasn't that good. I said, I want phone Carrie in here tomorrow.”

“"Meanwhile, we had he was the the nasal o two nasal was not enough for him, and we had requested BiPAP. Well, we were told that he could they could not have a BiPAP because it would throw the virus out into the air. It was another protocol. Well, later that evening, here came a BiPAP machine. So they did put him on one.”

“"Every every day, somebody would come in acting all caring and trying to push for a DNR... meaning, what was taking so long for him to die? And he was tough. He was he was a healthy man...”

“"We noticed in the last week, they were, no. Well, they weren't coming in quite as often. And we noticed that, like, the last couple of days, they finally turned him over on his back and left him. So we felt like then they thought this is it, or this is when they were gonna make it it.”

“"Every time we ask for a certain type of medication that we'd heard worked for somebody, more than once, the answer was always, it is not the protocol. We were told that once, twenty five times... we asked for budesonine to be given to him. So they gave it, but you can tell that they were just giving it to satisfy us. They only gave him the and I, like, twice a day, which was not enough.”

“"And I will always believe that, the thirty days that he spent on the ventilator and as drugged as he was is what actually killed him and it wasn't the covid that killed him.”

“"And instead, eventually, your organs are gonna begin to shut down when you're on heavy drugs like that for that long. ... And I think they were planning to do that the next day.”

“"at one point before he was, on a ventilator, he asked me to look into whether he could go to a different hospital because he was so unhappy there. And they told me they wouldn't they said they wouldn't release him, and they said no other hospital would accept him in the condition that he was in. So there was no way that he could go to another hospital.”

“"And I found out, nurses told me that, the only time any doctors ever saw the patients was during those rounds in the morning. And there would be several doctors who went on rounds at the same time, and they literally spent a minute, maybe two minutes in each patient's room. Other than that, everything was done by nurses.”

“"And turned out it was like an inflatable raft that you put in your swimming pool to play with, and that's what they put under the patients. And he was developing, pressure sores. ... I could not believe the array of drugs, intravenous drugs that they had. ... how do you expect a patient to fight an illness if you have put them in a coma and they're completely unable to ... improve his own condition in any way.”

“"you know, the nurses being very inattentive [...] he was really unhappy. And he asked me to ask, that that nurse not, see him. [...] But those five days that he was in ICU without being on a ventilator, his condition still did not improve. [...] I do have to say he, he had type two diabetes, and he was overweight. [...] So my daughter ran to get me, and by the time she did she was staying with me at my house just so I wasn't alone. [...] And, consequently, he was on a ventilator for thirty days. [...] But when they put you on a ventilator, they put you in a coma, like, medically induced coma. And they also paralyze you, which was just shocking and and frightening to me to hear that. And no one was explaining to me what that what this all meant.”

“"They said they were trying to turn him. I don't know if I believed that. And they stopped turning him because every time they turned him on his stomach, they said his oxygen level dropped so much that they had to put him back on his back.”

“"And I just felt like I was lucky that I had a brother who's a doctor and that I had more information. I felt so bad for all the other patients and their families because no one was telling them anything. No one was explaining anything to them.”
