Experience in hospital:
Matagorda Regional would not allow any visitors, we were only able to see him outside through a window. The weather was in the 40’s my mother was sick herself wearing ski clothes, so my dad could see her. The Charge Nurse “snuck” her in knowing she had covid herself to try and go behind my mom’s back and talk my siblings and I into intubating our Dad.
My father would call us to call the nurses for assistance. He called us often asking us to get him out of Bay City. He was clear that he didn’t like his weekend travel nurse when we had her removed from his care. My dad said “I think my nurse was doing something to my meds” he started feeling better once she was removed from his care. He was denied Ivermectin and Monoclonal antibodies.
We started his process to get him transferred on a Sunday, the charge nurse was immediately against the transfer. She told us he could not be transferred unless he was intubated. She also said paramedics will not take a patient on BIPAP. They said the hospital we were moving him to did not take his insurance, so we needed to find a different hospital. The day he was transferred the doctors and nurses did a lot of psychological abuse.
They told him he wouldn’t make it unless he was intubated if he wanted to live, he needed to be intubated. We made sure he trusted us to not let them intubate him. However, he was still isolated from us, so this was all via phone, my brother sat watch through the window to make sure he was okay. My dad was terrified and said he didn’t think he was going to make if he was there one more night in Bay City.
In fact, on his medical records, they quoted my dad that he did not want to be in that hospital. We were able to have him transferred but during this process it was hell for him. We succeeded in getting him moved however they succeeded in poisoning him with all they administered to him.
