Needs some help and prayers from the good people on here. Been a long time lurker but this shit just got real for me.
My girlfriend has been sick for 4 days now, and the urgent care place we went to today put her on an ambulance to the hospital because the chest X-rays showed pneumonia in both lungs and the doctor said it “presented” as COVID pneumonia. She can barely breath right now, blood oxygen at 85
They tested for both flu and a rapid COVID test, BOTH came back negative. The doctor said she didn’t believe the result was accurate...
She has had a fever of 102 on and off for the last 3 days and can’t eat or drink without throwing it back up. Body paid and chills, a little bit of ear pain as well but no sinus congenstion at all. I gave her a dose of ivermectin on Saturday when everything was still very mild, and a second dose on Monday, with no effect. She has been taking vitamin D 6000 IU each day and as much vitamin C and zinc that she can keep in her stomach (which isn’t much because she keeps throwing up). She’s very stubborn so I couldn’t do any sort of full protocol. It was hard enough to get her to force down some water. At urgent care they tried to put in an IV for fluids but her veins are very small and they couldn’t get it to work
I asked and the doctor at urgent care said she can’t do the monoclonal antibodies because it’s “too late for that” and her symptoms are too severe at this point. I tried to reason with my girlfriend and told her we could drive ourselves to a hospital and they could do it as an outpatient procedure anyway but she can barely breath so she didn’t want to risk passing out on the way there, chose the ambulance instead
They won’t let me into the room or even sit in the hospital waiting room, so I asked for the form for durable power of attorney and told my girlfriend to ask for it as well. Hopefully we can get that signed before they do anything to her. I want to make sure they don’t intubate her or give her any remdesivir.
She is 25 with no pre-existing conditions, she is NOT vaccinated. I’m very confused how she could be getting such a bad case?? I think it might be bacterial pneumonia instead because they haven’t run the cultures yet so they don’t know. They are going to be running a PCR test no doubt, but we all know it will come back positive whether or not that’s actually true...
I’m pretty sure the only reason the ivermectin didn’t help is because she threw up the second dose, but I am going to push for the monoclonal antibodies once I have the power of attorney.
What else can I do here??
UPDATE:**
PCR test came back “positive”, of course...
My girlfriends cell phone died so I am waiting for them to get her a charger.
In the meantime, they put her aunt down as power of attorney because they said I can only be her power of attorney if it is arranged PRIOR to arrival....once she is in hospital they have to use next of kin... I call bullshit on that one but I spoke to my girlfriend and she is not thinking clearly so she just wants to trust the doctors and keep the power of attorney with her aunt. Fuck!
She had a fever of 105 so they are using ice packs and nasal O2 currently, also running bloodwork. One of the tests came back as “borderline sepsis” apparently, so they are double checking.
Would love to see your source for THAT.
Are you even paying attention?
Are YOU? I HAD covid, was in the hospital, was given remdesivir and azythromycin. Shit worked great. I'm probably closer to it than you are. While I was there I grilled the doctors and nurses in order to sort through the bullshit. There's a lot of THAT coming from BOTH sides.
I am actually pretty close to it, closer than being in the hospital as a patient. While I agree there is bullshit coming from both sides there are studies which I referenced that show remdesivir causes kidney failure in about of the third of the cases. Adding certain other drugs can increase those odds. I know they are testing daily and watching levels which is good but if there are less invasive treatments that work why not use those treatments? Why not be open to the possibility that there are other methods? Also, CMS does give a pretty large increase if remdesivir is on the claim. So there is incentive to use it. I am glad this worked for you. My issue is with the blinders that so many health professionals have at this time.
Also, I had COVID as well and didn’t end up sick enough to be hospitalized because I used an effective treatment protocol at home. Early treatment is the key.

This is interesting. If you look at the FDA's website and look at the COVID protocols, it gives a history also, and for Remdesivir, it was causing further kidney/liver damage early on in patients who already had kidney/liver damage. It made it worse. They halted its use for a while, then reissued the protocol with additional blood tests for kidney/liver function, and as your PDF said, additional monitoring.
When I had it, there were times I was pissing every 30 minutes, so my kidneys were working fine.
