My husband was sent from urgent care by ambulance to their hospital affiliate ER where he was told he was positive for COVID. Admitted to the COVID floor, and ER doctor said he wanted to give Remdesivir. I adamantly told him NO Remdesivir, and husband also said, “No.” Found out next day that he had been given 4 doses that night. I do not know if any more was given as I cannot obtain medical records (trying to get but no response from hospital), and I was only allowed up to see him between 4 & 6 each afternoon.
If I left early, could not return and no one else could come to hospital. When in ICU, bi-pap machine blew out his lung the day before death. Infectious disease doctor needed to put chest tube in, but wanted him on vent. Husband did not want this, but he was placed on it because he was told he wouldn’t make it through without the vent because he was too weak.
He coded twice in the early A.M. the next day. I asked for an EEG to see brain wave activity, and said they couldn’t do it unless he was taken off all meds.
I requested he be removed from life support, as we had talked many times, that if he couldn’t live a normal life then I was to remove any life support. I asked nephrologist who wanted to do bedside dialysis, since he had no urine output in 4 hrs, after 2nd code, what type of life he would have if by some miracle I could bring him home. She stated he would be on a vent the rest of his life and probably dialysis. I made the decision to pull the vent, and he died approximately 10 minutes later with no response whatsoever.
Side note: husband never was offered a shower, clean linens, brushing of teeth, or any hygiene during the entire hospital stay. I brought him food and drink up, and changed bed linens, gown, and gave a bath to him everyday. I cleaned the room many days, and cleaning personnel were present only 2 days that I was aware of.

To: It was terrible...I had to call the squad because Bob's oxygen level had dipped to the 70's. 911 to Warren County Ohio/Clearcreek Township. They weren't concerned at all about Bob. They wanted to know how many people were in our house and had we all been tested. They said Bob had to meet them at the door. When they pulled up to our house, they only parked in the street. Not the driveway. They wanted Bob to WALK to the ambulance. Insisted they put him on a gurney. They didn't turn on lights or sirens. Bob texted when he got to Sycamore and said they didnt give him oxygen in the squad. He was taken to Sycamore and they said their covid floor was full. I had to choose between Fort HAmilton or Grandview Hospital...neither have good reputations. I chose Grandview. While he was there, I spoke to a nurse once and had to take his c-pap machine to the hospital. I parked in the physicians lot...it was empty. I never had 1 call from a doctor his whole time at Grandview. He was intubated without my consent. I was able to get him transferred to Christ hospital in Cinci and he was put on an ecmo machine there. He lasted almost 2 months. The treatment at Christ was vastly different than Grandview. NEVER spoke to a dr once at Grandview. Why didnt they give him oxygen in the squad?
