I believe you. My dad was hospitalized for COVID and we were Very Much against hospitalizing him.

We had the Ivermectin which worked for my mom and for me but we didn't have enough by the time it was his turn so we gave him some but it was the prophylactic dose. I will never know for sure if Ivermectin in the full treatment dose would have made him recover at home because the sick doctors here wouldn't give us the drugs we needed in time. And this was with me prepping for this scenario for months in advance but they always only gave me a prescription for 20 3mg pills each month which you burn through in two days or less when you're sick, per sick person.

We hated taking him to the hospital but we not only couldn't get him the proper dose of Ivermectin in time, he also suffered silent hypoxia and had his blood oxygen fall to to the low 80s before we finally admitted defeat and brought him in for oxygen. Had we had access to a corticosteroid to reduce his inflammation along with some supplemental oxygen we could have safely kept him at home I think with full dose aspirin for clotting. Had we had the proper dose of Ivermectin it may not have ever gotten as bad as it did.

But this is the part that really made me sick: HAD I NOT BEEN ON THE PHONE EVERY SINGLE SHIFT WITH EVERY NURSE AND DOCTOR AND SHOWED UP EVERY DAY INSISTING THAT THEY DELIVER MY DAD HIS DAILY GREEN SMOOTHIE WITH EXTRA VITAMINS I FEEL SURE THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM.

They pit him on Dexamethasone when they first admitted him in the ER end thank God he was last the viral phase so they never gave him Remdesevere. At the time he was admitted I didn't yet know that drug caused multiple organ failure. I demanded they switch him from Dexamethasone to Methylprednisolone (Solu Medrol). They weren't giving him any vitamins other than low dose vitamin C until I insisted they put him on 10000IU of Vit D and 3000mg of Vitamin C and maintain his vitamin B complex, his 10mg melatonin every night.

By the time they neglected him for nearly a full 48 hours his D dimer had shot up from 975 at admittance to over 6000. I could kill those assholes for the harm they did to him in his first hours there. He ended up being there for 13 days!!! The entire time he was there doctors and nurses remarked that he was their most stable patient....and that was even when he was doing really badly on 15 liters of oxygen. I said "why don't you look at the drugs and vitamins I had you guys give to him and start giving them to everyone else so they can get better too!" They are legally protected only when they follow the hospital protocol. They are incentivized for failure even if that incentive is only confirmation of their own existing bias.

Show me the incentive and I will show you the behavior. COVID is not a big deal for most people but since we all may experience someone we love having a bad case like my Dad did whether that is due to comorbidities or just not having access to proper meds, we should all become familiar with treatment protocols so we can advocate for our loved ones when needed. The doctors and nurses are not gonna do it.

Try to keep your loved one at home unless the disease progresses and blood oxygen drops and remains below 94.

Pharmacies that will provide Ivermectin and other drugs with or in some cases without a prescription can be found here:

I purchased Ivermectin, methylprednisolone and lovenox with no prescription from buy-pharma.md

Hopefully I will never need to use them and can throw them away when they expire. If the worst that happens is I lost a little money, it was an insurance purchase well spent.

I don't know of a solution for oxygen without a prescription so if anyone has ideas for that feel free to post them here.
