Our father Antonio Ruiz woke up having trouble breathing he wanted an ambulance.  Once he got to the hospital he was told by a very rude Dr he had to go on a ventilator and would die.  He called me in a panic. I called to argue and told them that I wanted him released and would pick him up.  They wouldn’t allow it. Said he needed a large oxygen machine. I ordered one and it was coming from Colorado.

They started him on remdesivir and I argued not to give it to him. His Dr wouldn’t listen to me.  He was having so much anxiety. So they had him on anxiety medicine also.  He seemed to be getting better. They did blood tests numerous times a day on him.

At one point, we received a paper in the mail saying he was negative Covid.  I would always ask them to release him that I wanted yo pick him up and his doctor wouldn’t let me.

His 2nd week there I would drop off a bean and cheese burrito everyday at 7pm. We were watching him on an iPad so we can see the care he was getting. The more they gave him the medication, the more he went downhill. To the point he couldn’t get off the bed anymore.

On the morning of Feb 5th we were called in by another doctor to go say our goodbye as they were going to give him morphine as he was suffering with the breathing.  He kept refusing a ventilator and we refused it as well so they killed him.  They gave him i think it was 4 injections of morphine to euthanize our father. The worst day of our lives and we live with this everyday knowing Kaiser and the doctors he trusted failed him and us.
