This has been bothering me for a week now.
Customer calls,needs work done to his car at his house. Tells me hes got alot going on cuz his mother in law is coming home to die. She went in for a heart surgery. They found white spots on her lungs and asked if she had covid. She said she had a couple months ago. They told her they cant operate because she had covid and sent her home to die. Unfortunately she didnt even make it home to go with dignity and family.
Anybody heard of this? Why would having recovered from covid prevent a life saving surgery??
I don't have anything worthwhile to add, sorry.
Like you, I'm just sitting here wondering how the fuck this is a thing?
While he was telling all i kept thinkin to myself is that doesnt sound right.makes no sense to me. They do all kinds of surgeries on people with all kinds of issues being present. But having recovered from covid is a no go?
During the height of the mad cow scare, new variant Creutzfeldt Jacob, I know that they were super careful doing autopsies to confirm diagnosis after death because it was a prion disease. Perhaps biohazard was a factor, maybe with a poor chance of recovery from surgery being a factor as well?
But what about those who had Covid and recovered without ever knowing they had it
I wonder if your customer should be asking a lawyer this very same question.
I thought the same. But i dont feel its my place to get involved in.i try not to get too buddy buddy with customers. You cant make money off of friends.
Nope you cannot. But perhaps someone else will give him the same advice; it may not come from you. God bless his life and I pray the deceased went to Heaven ??
Find another Hospital, even in another State, just because a Door closes you'll find one that's Opened for Her, you have to be proactive, be an advocate don't give up. You have to use logic when talking too Hospital Administrators.
Yes, be proactive by suing that hospital out of existence.
If the repercussions of doing evil are so low that people will cower instead of doing the right thing it'll be one quick trip to hell.
The only reason things escalate are because of divide and conquer, and because people cowardly play along instead of fighting back. The more room they get, the more they'll advance, until there's no place left to go but total annihilation.
Does this make people a walking biohazard? WTF???
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
My condolences. I will pray for MIL and your family.
Not my family. A good customer of mines family. But im sure they could use the prayers.
This is what I'm thinking. COVID may not kill some people, but it can seriously Fuck up your lungs permanently. Perhaps they found lung damage that made the surgery risky or increased the likelihood of not tolerating general anesthesia or not being able to come off of a ventilator. Some people won't undergo procedures if there is a high risk she won't come off the machine and she'll require a tracheostomy
Dr. Andrew Cuomo???
I hate to say this but it appears to me a cost saving measure for Government and Insurance Companies. I’m 100% convinced Governors stuck COVID patients in Nursing Homes to intentionally “get rid” of Medicaid payments being made. I think a Deep Audit would bear this out.
If they actually sent her home over Covid that customer should sue the living hell out of them for breaking their oath.
They can't send people home during emergencies and just let them die.
Make them lose everything for playing along with fascists and see how many will still lack the courage of doing what's right in the long run.
Father in law just got surgurywhile having covid. Try a new dr or hospital. One that is not a libtard and belives their oath.
Remember everyone, we are still under obama care , Hospitals get more money in certain situations. I know the death rate is higher by sending patients home asap but if they get re admitted then the hospital will get less money. Interesting fact, obama care has increased the mortality rate (by design) and people die at home from surgery Completions. It almost seems like eugenics has been built into the system. Remember that gang wants to shave off population numbers. What was it 4% they are going for?
No, now they can't blame it on the coof and rape in all the extra loot
Doctors/Hospitals/CDC/WHO are apparently all just dirty hookers slobbering on deep state pole.
FIL had covid and is getting his knee replaced next week... They didn't even require him to get a COVID test as part of pre op...
It was an article in my local paper this morning about an international study, 116 countries participated. Up to two weeks after Covid risk of dying was 4,1%, normal is 1,5%. After that the risk decresed.
It had to do with less lung capacity. Unfortunately there were no good search words in the article, like who conducted it.
It's true. Perioperative death rates are higher if one has COVID. American College of Surgeons recommends holding off elective surgeries until after the infection passes. The studies we looked at last summer when they made the recommendations were Chinese and some Korean ones (I think)
