Maybe getting old but doesn't mean it isnt happening. It certainly is...and it is is disgraceful as well as disrespectful to those who actually are suffering. The fact is unnecessary panic and fear is being stoked within the walls of some facilities and patients who come in with minor symptoms at some of these facilities are being treated in a manner that jeopardizes their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. While it is good to hear accounts like yours, people need to know these stories, also. They, too, come from real people in real situations. It isn't either or nor mutually exclusive....neither of our posts nor information within them negates the other.
Edit: I played tennis tonight with two doctor friends. Both expressed great concerns that their respective hospitals were paying an inordinate and unnecessary amount of time, energy and resources to covid positive patients who were not even seriously ill to the detriment of others in need.
One of them also added that one of their peers and friend's (who is an MD) wife tested positive for covid and was hospitalized. The doctor (her husband) sensed something was wrong as the other doctors presumed covid treatment and her condition worsened to near-death. He reevaluated her himself and found she had virtually no serious covid symptoms but was suffering greatly from Legioneers disease. The doctors treated her and she recovered and they speculated with a fair dedree of certainty that she most likely contracted the disease as a result of wearing a mask and consequent bacterial infection.
Take it for whatever you believe its worth but I believe these stories, as well as the horror stories of "treatment" in New York, need to be told.
