Experience in hospital:

My mother went in on August 24 with a pulse ox of 65%. I’m a nurse myself I did not think that she had Covid. Honestly I just thought it was pneumonia. She was brought to good Samaritan Hospital and an hour later they called to tell me that she tested positive for double Covid pneumonia. And I was not allowed to come to the hospital. At that point I asked if they could give her monoclonal antibodies, Being a nurse I know that that is the cure and it helps. They told me that she wasn’t a candidate because she was on oxygen which is not true because I worked in pulmonary and was scheduling patients with emphysema COPD. They just didn’t want to give it to her.
