Name of Victim: Gerald Lee Shirar

Admitted to hospital: 08/22/2021

Treatment received at hospital: Cruelly mistreated

Experience in hospital:

I was told they don’t feed them-they need oxygen more than food and besides they didn’t have staff available to feed them. I was lied to and told they were draining fluid off of his lungs and would not ventilate. The next call I got he was fully ventilated. I begged for a transfer to our hospital UCDavis-denied. I repeatedly requested access to see him-denied. I requested vitamins be added to his treatment-the dr told me he would add 1000iu of Vitamin D only. Every dr I talked to mentioned Jerry’s age, his vaccine status and the length of time he was in their ICU. I was told 9/10/21 they were putting a trach tube in and Jerry had approximately 2 weeks and he’d be weaned off the ventilator. On 9/10/21 Dr Hader canceled the trach and placed Jerry on 4 heavy duty antibiotics. He ordered a blood culture which came back negative. On 9/13/21 Dr Lineberry told me they finally got Actemera in and she would administer. When she ordered it the pharmacist told her no they were saving it for their cancer patients.
