Mom had an emergency Thanksgiving eve. As much as we have been avoiding hospitals, she had some kind of internal bleeding and she had to go in.
ER doc asked about her vaccine status and when she told him no vaccines, he got pissed and started to berate her. I made him stop, got her thru the intake process and off she goes to her room.
They have resolved her issue and she is slated to come home tomorrow. She just called me in a panic because the patient across the hall just passed away - from COVID. She has been there for 4 days.
Luckily, I have an appointment with our doc on Monday morning and am hoping to get Ivermectin as prophylaxis to head off any bad germs that may have gotten to her (or me as a visitor).
My question... why on earth would they have a COVID patient with non-infected patients? I know they won't take responsibility if she were to catch it.
Sorry. So pissed right now.
Could have been a patient that is post 10 day (whatever current policy is) isolation period and has since tested negative, but still had ongoing health complications related to Cov.
She overheard the nurses taking about her dying (with) COVID. I'm sure the dearth was due to another condition but the fact there was a COVID patient in the same place as non - infected patients is horrible.
Yes, it's a mess. Sending prayers for healing and future health for your mother. ❤
