My mother went to the doctor on December 6, 2021, because she had been sick for a while and wasn’t getting better.  At this visit, she was diagnosed with COVID-19, a fever of 103 with low oxygen levels, and was sent home.   On December 9, 2021, she went to the ER because she felt even worse and was having trouble breathing. She was admitted to the hospital where she was quarantined and monitored.

The first contact I received about her condition was a voice mail from a nurse practitioner stating that Mom was “doing just fine.”  When I returned her call, I asked about a treatment plan and inquired about Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine.  The NP immediately became hostile with me and said that doctors were losing their licenses for prescribing those medications, and Mom would not be receiving any of that.  Suddenly, Mom went from “doing just fine” to the NP talking about death and ventilators.

Mom was not allowed visitors for the first 7 days.  During this time, she was put on a high pressure oxygen respirator and a cocktail of remdesivir, morphine and lorazepam.  She was on the pressurized oxygen for so long that it blew a hole in one of her lungs.

By the time I was able to visit, it was already too late.  During the time that I was allowed to be with her, I witnessed almost every single nurse, NP and doctor make negative comments about her being unvaccinated, and insinuating that it was her own fault for ending up so sick.  There was even one nurse who went off on a lengthy tirade about the “unvaccinated, uneducated country folk congregating at the tractor store to cure COVID-19 with the horse de-wormer they read about on social media.”  He went on to say that the “unvaccinated were hogging beds from people who were more deserving.”

My biggest regret is not standing up to him and telling him to shut up, but I didn’t want to make things worse for Mom, knowing that she would be alone with him later that night.  Mom had a major panic attack that night and had to be sedated. She only got worse from there, and I ended up spending the next two nights in the hospital with her to protect her from more abuse.  After those two nights, they sent her home to die.  She died six days later, on Christmas Day.  I know in my bones that she was euthanized because she was unvaccinated, and an easy target for the hospital to profit.
