I am so tired of Covid restrictions! They turned me away at the ER door. I wasn't even allowed to wait in the waiting room!
For a virus that has a 99% survival rate, I'm not allowed near him. I had my in-laws come up to watch the kids so I could be turned away. Fuck this!
Similar experience with me two days ago, it's complete bullshit. I hope your husband pulls through and will be okay!
My experience was with my father, he hates hospitals and hasn't been since he was a child basically. He called me up begging me to bring him to the hospital two nights ago. He had been throwing up blood for 5 hours and had started losing consciousness when he finally called me. Got him to the hospital and he had no energy to even walk and I had to help him with that, and as soon as I get through the doors with him I have the nurses yelling at us that we need to go outside and put on masks before coming in. I yelled at them back and told them what was happening and they said it didn't matter, and that's when my father started throwing up again. They gave him a bucket and I wheeled him into the corner where he threw up about another pint of blood. I looked at them like I told you so, and then they said he needed to put on a mask for the safety of others. He wasn't going 3 minutes without throwing up, a mask isn't a great idea! So anyways we didn't comply and they didn't kick us out. They did say that all rooms where full though and there would be a wait. The waiting room on the other hand was 100% empty. After I got him checked in they told me I needed to leave and they would call me when he would be discharged. Tried putting up a fight so I could find out since he had already passed out 3 times in the wheelchair he was in, but they called the security guard over and said he'd be fine.
I guess after I left they forced him to wear a mask and he had to wait over 30 minutes to get into a room. They did some tests and gave him fluids but didn't diagnose him with anything. 5 hours later they called and I picked him up and he's not doing too much better. Has to go back next week. Turns out he had passed out again after throwing up in his room and the doctor let him sleep and put a mask on him while he was passed out. Really smart thing to do to someone throwing up, we are 100% living in clown world.
I'm sorry to hear about you dad. I hope he's doing better.
They had a tent outside to tell everyone 'visiting' to leave. He keeps getting bouts of dizziness and dazed along with other symptoms. I haven't gotten any updates from the hospital (although they told me they'd update me). I finally got ahold of my husband and he's half out of it. He's not going to know what's going on by the time they either admit him or release him.
The doctors always dismiss him as he's talking and I wanted to make sure they get all his symptoms of what's going on. I'm so frustrated with the whole thing.
Thank you, he's doing a little better right now, but still not his normal self.
Yeah that's the worse part, doctors telling people stuff who are out of it and then expecting them to remember, not how it works. I'm glad you were able to talk to him though, must have been nice! If these hospitals are so secure from the disease there is no reason you shouldn't be allowed in the room with him.
We have to push back. This is criminal! They are trained to help others, not be dictators. They have to know that was completely asinine & dangerous. They are health professionals. I thought they were smart!
