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.
CDC guidelines say that COVID pts are no longer infective after 14 days. Hospitals follow this policy. PT was probably there for a long time. They are putting asymptomatic COVID + patients on regular floors now because CDC says it's ok and it's easier for staffing because they are so short of nurses. This tells you this testing is and has been bullshit.l Bottom line, they follow government guidelines which are are bullshit.
