Dad has Covid now, not doing well. Please help me pray for him. Praying is not something I do often or well but my dad is my favorite human being and I need him to be okay. We’re at the hospital now and they have treated us with disgust and hate since we got here but he needs oxygen so I had to tolerate it. Please pray, thank you all. I know this place is a safe place for those of us who are tired of weathering the world.
Update: Still here, he has tested negative!! Still being treated for pneumonia and sepsis which is discouraging but I’m able to be here with him to help him and advocate for him. Thank you all for the continued prayers and kind words!! I’m alone here but your words are helping me through.
If you can get him oxygen at home through hospice care do that. The hospital protocol is Remdesivir --> ventilator --> body bag. Then they tell you, "we need everything we could". Do not go along with their protocol. Smuggle Ivermectin in to him and try to get him out of the hospital ASAP.
I don't know his situation, but here's some ideas:
In the past, people could leave the hospital as long as they signed: Leaving Against Medical Advice Form.
May God Bless and Protect your father and your family.
Do not use Albuterol, use Budesonide as it has a steroid in it, Dr. Bartletts recommendation. Albuterol only opens the airways but does not treat the inflammation.

From my personal experience with respiratory illnesses, it helps. Albuterol to keep the airways open and Steroids to address the inflammation.
I would encourage all reading this to research FGHP - food grade hydrogen peroxide - you can nebulize that get oxygen into yourself cheap cheap cheap. I can’t believe how fortunate I was to learn about this.
God bless this man I hope and pray your daddy is healed by the hand of our precious Lord Jesus
I have actually had better luck with plain old Amoxicillin for secondary bacterial infection instead of azithromycin - given there isn't an allergy to Pen. It just doesn't seem like the azithromycin is cutting it sometimes.
The albuterol is more for bronchial spasm and is not going to work well for the inflammation kick of the coof that really needs a steroid. Especially after the virus has run its course. When it gets past day 8 it is no longer a viral infection, but a secondary hypersensitivity immune reaction. Budesonide in a nebulizer has been a life saver for many. I believe you can order budesonide from the same pharmacies that carry HCQ and Ivermectin. You already have the nebulizer so you would be in business. Take care Bones.
Yes, PCN is good. I think of Zithromax because my entire family is allergic to PCN so that's what we always take. Good point. 😊
The patient can get discharged via "AMA" (Against Medical Advice).
If they have a health proxy (Legal document), the designated individual can legally request AMA discharge.
When you sign a contract it usually tells you how the hospital manages this. Since the doctors have laws they work under that are state and federal laws about letting a patient who is vitally sick put his health at risk, they make sure you know about that in the contract they sign.
So if you are doing fine, sure you can leave. But if you are not stable with vital signs or oxygen levels they will not discharge you with the blessing, because they can be sued.
Patients come back and say “why did you let me do that? I wasn’t in my right thinking. Here are laws stating you broke the law by letting me leave in that state”
Then they pay a lot of money and are censured by the medical board.
This is the system how it is now.
So once you get them involved, and they could be punished, they can try to keep you. For instance they won’t write orders for you to leave so another place, unless that place is respectable and shows they can care for the patient, can take over care. The patient can leave AMA as long as they can get up and leave the hospital.
So no, they don’t force you, they just don’t help you once you are incapacitated because the contract signed over custodial care of you.
Imagine a patient who was on the edge of dying, in that state trying to leave. You’d be mad and sue if that was your loved one. So they do everything that’s outlined by the laws in that state and country to make sure a vulnerable person isn’t harming themselves. If the family wasn’t educated enough to know it was a danger etc.
You’re best not to go and sign a contract with them, if you are planning on leaving.
They can refuse to accept you as a patient again in the future under non-emergency conditions, or at least that's my understanding.
Correct. They are a private business and individuals who chose to barter services for a fee. They can choose to not do business with you, but state and federal laws force them to treat you if you are in danger.
Big government controls a lot of what they can do.
