I was in the ICU for 10 days with Delta 4 weeks ago. Pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and lactic acidosis. I’m also pregnant. When they admitted me they said I’d do a 5-day round of remdesivir (almost went on ventilator but I was able to avoid it), and I immediately said ‘but doesn’t that cause organ failure?’ The doctor looked at me confused and said, ‘absolutely not.’ And I said well please monitor my organ function daily and he said yes we do that automatically. I had blood drawn every morning around 4-6am if I was awake. Made a complete recovery faster than the doctors said. My lungs were 90% clots and my blood oxygen was fluctuating between 22-40% when I was admitted. Me and Baby were lucky! As of this week I’m off the home oxygen.
It was actually miraculous. The doctors and nurses couldn’t understand it. My husband did do the talking in the ER and I had to be wheeled in.
Even now I get 2 visits a week from a home nurse and they are dumbfounded that my lungs sound clear. But anyway, if I wasn’t denied early treatment from my OB with what the queen is getting then I could have avoided all this. It’s criminal.
What happened to standards of care? She's supposed to get remdesivir and a ventilator!

That sounds...miraculous. 90% clots and 22-30% POX while pregnant. How were you even able to communicate coherently?

Glad you're doing better. Sorry so many people are here are giving you a hard time. We're skeptics by nature around here.
