Now they give them steroids and tell them to roll over on there side...
The hospital protocols in the early days was a one size fits all approach -
if you blood oxygen level fell to a certain point, you were placed in a medically induced coma.
this happened when you were all alone in the hospital with no one to advocate for you
doctors in northern Italy, who made the same mistakes were telling us not to do this
So many people were intubated that it got to the point where in some hospitals, there was a 1 Respiratory Therapist to 80 patients.
Intubated patients were isolated, fed through feeding tubes leading out of the rooms and treatment for other illnesses like diabetes were ignored
Many patients DEVELOPED kidney failure and pneumonia that didnt exist prior to hospitalization
when patients crashed, nurses were told not to chest compressions..
These people died needlessly, alone and isolated from their families.
Someone should be held accountable... like criminally held accountable.
