My friend's 12 yr-old niece is in a hospital in Brooklyn being treated for covid-19. Last night they intubated her. I just found out about it this evening and sent him all of the information that I found from this site regarding the treatment packs in India and contact information for the frontlinedoctors web-site. He is in contact with them and God willing, will be able to demand the appropriate treatment for her using the right to try law.
I cannot believe that we are over a year into this and the friggin' doctors STILL are not using the proper treatments.
What else can I do to help my friend help his family?
Any advice is welcome but most of all my sincere thanks to everybody who has posted such helpful information.
Update 4/25/21: Just found out from my friend that the doctor is saying the girl will need to be on a vent until at least Friday. To make matters even worse, she's at Elmhurst hospital where they were literally picking off patients. I am so heartsick for him and his family and fear that this will end badly.
Thank you. I have already advised my friend that he will need a lawyer.
