Yeah his kidneys were fine and then they called and said he needs dialysis out of nowhere. It was only his lungs and now it's two organs - they did say he responded to the dialysis but now they are saying we need to put a DNR on him because he's going to die. I just wanted them to try Ivermectin because what harm could it do in a dead man.

This is correct - he's been alone in there for 3 weeks. We do call him but he's unresponsive.

You need to do that thing were they oxygenate the blood. I forgot what it is called. You have to be relatively healthy to get it done I hear though, which eliminates most Americans because being overweight is a disqualifier apparently.

That is why megadosing on vitamin C with COVID helps. Apparently it does something to the help flush the covid byproduct building in the lungs if not mistaken.

Edit: I would think blood transfusions would help in this, but idk.

There are many cases out there. I posted one where the lady was in a coma and still recovered.


You need to contact an attorney. There is a good one that is winning the right to try.


I'm like many here. So long as there is life... I would try.

Yeah, I would be throwing stuff. Never give up. Never give in. Push it as hard and as strongly as you can put it.

Tell everyone, "If he dies, he dies, but he doesn't die from lack of trying, so fricking try, NOW!" until they give in and try. Tell them, frick the insurance company or government medicare or whoever it is paying for it. "They" would be fine with your dad's passing. For them, it's more dollars and cents they don't have to spend if he passes. Just tell them you will pay out of pocket. It's not an expensive drug. Just fricking try it!! I would give anything to have had more time with my dad. Good luck, and don't stop fighting for his life.

Like I said in a thread yesterday. Shitty doctors send you home with nothing but will treat you only once things get bad... you know, when it is much harder to save your life.

The majority of doctors are either evil, which I doubt, or suck at their jobs. Those are the only two options.

The more patients on ventilators (WHICH DO MORE DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS) the more money the hospitals make. Bunch of cut throat money hungry bastards.

He should have been given antibiotic infusions and ivermectin the minute he tested positive. He should have been on forced air and not a vent.

The vent causes holes in covid lungs. We knew this shite a year ago and they're still doing it.

Vents=money.

Had a coworker pass away Friday and it sounds pretty much the exact same as what happened to him.

This is the thing I'm most pissed about. They vented him without calling anyone and asking. I told my aunt not to let them vent him without them calling and of course they vented him without anyones consent and said that he consented to it.
