My Dad has had a decade of major health issues stemming from diabetes. It eventually led to amputation and kidney failure which in turn led to 8 hours of dialysis daily. At around 2am yesterday morning he requested to go to the hospital, we of course obliged. He was cognitive and aware and this seemed like business as usual. At around 6am he coded and was revived. We were informed he was being taken to ICU for a COVID test and would not be allowed in the wing due to it being WHERE THEY KEEP COVID POSITIVE PATIENTS.

He was stable for a few more hours but the test still had not returned so we were not allowed in. He passed at 1pm after begging to see his family. It wasn’t until an hour later that the fucking test came back negative. This bullshit just kept my father alone at his final hour and it has to stop.

Tldr my dad died, couldn’t visit due to pending COVID test, after he died test was negative. Also fuck this.
