. My 93 yo mom went in to the ER with shortness of breath and a high heart rate a couple weeks ago. EKG showed afib. After treating her for 6 hrs with a beta blocker and fluids she developed fluid on the lungs... because they overloaded her with fluids. Once transferred to ICU they tried to tell me it was covid not afib. What kind of idiot thinks the very first signs of covid are shortness of breath and fluid on the lungs (which of course they caused... a cardiologist later admitted it). Thank goodness she tested negative because had she tested positive those symptoms still would have not been related but they would have assumed they were. Probably would have put her on a vent and killed her. I was LIVID. I made zero friends that week.

Made me wonder how many people died because they were misdiagnosed and therefore mistreated.

My best to your dad. And to you
