The jest of the story…..So my husband fell yesterday and split open his forehead. Taken to hospital. First they wouldn’t let me back there, said he was being triaged by Doctor and I could go back later. That’s never happened, I was always allowed back with him. (He went in by ambulance about 2 months ago so this is new protocol) Second he told me afterwards the first thing they did was ask if he’d had the Covid vax, and how many. He lied (he was afraid) and said he had the first two (he has not). They then kept asking him which one he took. He said he didn’t remember. He got stitched up and released, but this whole hospital thing has warped into some weird crap and I’m betting they are getting tons coming in and have a new protocols due to it all being vaxxed related.

I have been the caregiver of my father with Dementia for last 5 years or so and have seen all the BS the "medical professionals" push in great detail. Every time my Dad has to go to the ER, or the hospital, or back to the Nursing Home they ask the same BS about vaccines - Flu, Covid, Pneumonia. But one visit in particular re: the flu-shot stands out to me. My father only got the flu vax once in his life, many years ago - and like most, that was the year he actually GOT the flu. He told me before his Dementia got bad, that he didn't want any more vaccines.
So I had taken him one day to his gerontologist, and she goes "does he want the flu vaccine?" I say "No." She said "may I ask why?" I said "because he doesn't want it." She goes "why not?" I go "Just not now - maybe some other time." Lol. She was so persistent. But such a PITA. Like can't you accept NO for an answer? And this same woman - was asking my FATHER - who at that time had active dementia, (which she d*mn well knew about) - about his wishes should he need emergency medical procedures - like - "do you want a DNR?" I was like no - he wants a full code. And she looks at me inredulously like "why1??" Then she goes on to state how much pain he could be in, how much he'd suffer...yadda yadda. I'm like look lady - these are HIS wishes. Follow them.
Then she pulls out a form. And goes "this is a wishes form we take here at the hospital. If he signs it we'll keep it on record." I'm like "hand it to me. I'm his POA and we'll look it over together." So she hands me that form along with another form and I take them home.
I look at the form she slipped in with the other one - she had CHECKED OFF all the spots asking for DNR, and just made an X by the signature line! In other words- IF I hadn't been with my father at that appointment, there's a d*mn good chance he may have signed a DNR without his knowledge! Also, how come she felt he was capable to sign off on such an important document KNOWING he had Dementia?!!!
And subsequent Hospital visits (now in an entirely different State) we encounter the same sh*t. EVERY TIME I take him or he's admitted, they ask again and again "is he a DNR?" Or "You may want to change him to a DNR."
I SWEAR to GOD they want him dead. They really do. They even keep asking if he needs to be on blood thinners still. I'm like YES PER HIS CARDIOLOGIST. And they're like "well...if he falls that means he has to go to the hospital...and so..." And I'm like "YES IT DOES mean he has to go the hospital -what the HELL is your point!??"
D*MN DEATH CULT we're dealing with. I swear.
Sorry for the rant. I've so had it with these "Doctors." You really have to watch your back. Don't be afraid of them. Don't be intimidated. And don't ever be afraid to ask for copies of ALL documents. And make d*mn sure THEY know you know your rights. Or they WILL try and walk all over you.
Bless you and your constant vigilance for your dad.
Thank you! :-)
Bless you for taking such good care of your father, fren. I've been down the same road and know all too well what you are experiencing. Keep up the good fight!
Thanks Fren! :-)
Was it a pink form? If so, that is a POLST form. DNR usually drawn up by an attorney, but the POLST will be completed when you enter the hospital. It gets a little confusing.
Details on the differences.

Thanks for that link! It was some green form... but I think it may have been a POLST form. But I now have all that drawn up for him with an attorney. Also we're not in that State anymore...but I make sure the hospital he goes to now has his wishes (but like I said, every time I go back to even his new hospital they're like - "does he still want the full-code?" I'm like - YES - yes he does!)
Okay. In CA it is pink.
One thing: my FIL passed at home. It was expected. The paramedics told us a good place to keep copies of the DNR/POLST is in a plastic bag on top of the refrigerator. They apparently look there but even if that is not the case, for the family, you have a go to place so you aren't digging around for it.
