Experience in hospital:

My mother was transported by ambulance to the ER on 12/22/21 for severe dehydration, suspected elevated BP, and suspected stroke symptoms. My father was denied entry with my mother, and my family was not allowed in to advocate for her care, as my mother was completely incoherent. As soon as the Covid test was positive, the hospital administered Remdesivir, Dexamethasone, Heparin, Ativan, Fentanyl, and Narcan despite family repeatedly declining any of these meds without consulting with a doctor first over the phone before any medications were given. She went from swinging at the doctor and screaming no to a completely vegetative state after getting these drugs. These drugs led to her decline and inappropriate stroke treatment as my mother did not get a TPA injection that may have reversed or stopped the ischemic stroke she suffered. She didn’t get an MRI until the next day as her kidney and heart function was declining. No nutrition was given for another day or two. She never saw an actual neurologist as requested and only a teleneurologist on an iPad. Doctors continually tried to ventilate her even with oxygen saturation in the 90’s. Doctors did not use appropriate antibiotics or alternative treatments that could have helped. We were kept in the dark by these doctors and nurses. She died alone on 12/29/21 and was denied visitation or any last rites by a priest the entire stay.

Engaging in activism: yes

What types of activism: I tell everyone that I know my mom’s story. It is documented on protocolkills.com. I also have attended political rallies to speak with candidates and our county sheriff to advocate for legislation to be passed to allow patients an advocate or religious council in the hospital, and to prosecute the criminals working in these hospitals. I intend to continue to pursue this.
