Experience in hospital:

Michael was taken to the hospital, on advice from our telehealth provider, FOR IV FLUIDS, 16 days after onset of symptoms. We had been cleared by our doctor to leave quarantine. He was having trouble breathing, and dehydrated. I was not allowed to accompany him nor be in the hospital. He was given a PCR upon arrival at Whidbey Health Hospital, told he still had 'active COVID', given a chest xray and told he had COVID pneumonia. The hospital immediately began looking for another hospital to which to transfer. When a bed was found at UWNW, he was told he HAD to be intubated for the transfer or sign a DNR. He agreed to the ventilator FOR TRANSFER. After a brief call to me on a nurse's phone, he was sedated, intubated and transferred. I never spoke with him again.
