If you are in the hospital and alone surrounded by doctors, tell them to fuck off with the ventilator. You do NOT consent! Once on that ventilator for covid you have an 88% death rate. It is literally the wrong thing to do and only the strong survive it.

Alex Jones was reporting that early. Banned dot video

He is fed enough truth to seem legitimate. Make no mistake that he is controlled opposition.

Assuming that's true then what sources do you believe in?

That's the million dollar question, my friend.

There are literally people who do this all the time, anyway, for a variety of reasons. Just say I’m do not intubate. You get to decide how you die. On the vent or on a bipap, they don’t care. They are just happy to respect your wishes and honestly would rather not deal with the vent. Just do them a favor and say no CPR, too, because virtually no one survives that and that’s a actually a huge pain in the ass for everyone.

Intubation has its purposes and normal use (when it is appropriate) has a death rate of 27%. I'd use one in a regular situation if the doc thought it best. Now with a 90% death rate I'm going to get my shit and go home if that's all theyve got for me.

Depending on the state you live in, you can determine what level of life saving measures you want and what you don't want, and they will be binding to any hospital or doctor.

If a medical provider doesn't know - then you are "full code" meaning they will try all measures. There is also full code without intubation. A medical provider will do CPR, they will give medications, transfusions, "shock" you (defibrillate), or use non-invasive measures like oxygen or BiPAP, but they can't legally intubate you. The lowest level is DNR - do not resuscitate.

I say "Depending on the state you live in" because in some places, your family can override these wishes.

You can spell out more explicit instructions as well. So long as they are clear and not conflicting. You could have your doctor add in your medical chart: "do not intubate if suspected of having Covid-19, otherwise intubate." A hospital may or may not honor that. Our hospital would.

Hydrochloroquine + Zpak + Zinc + Vitamin C is the most successful treatment so far.

It is an older technique, but one used with proven good results for other respiratory issues. Some of the people I work who have been in the field for a very long time remember having hospital beds where they could easily rotate the patient for this.

Yup they wanted us to mass produce vents so we could mass depopulate.

I really need to see a lot of bodies swinging in the wind after this

Oh look, another bunch of numbers to add to the medical malpractice statistics. I guess some medical hacks and others who put politics over the lives of their patients want to be the #1 cause of death instead of #3.

Medical errors being #3 isn't a fluke. The preventable human factors aside, some of it is automation.

If you admitted to a hospital, it is typical to "reconcile" your medications - meaning that someone verifies what you normally take and makes sure the hospital's record is up to date. Some patients have a rather extensive list of meds they take. An error can occur when the automated software assigns those medications.

If for instance, you normally have high blood pressure and take a few medications for it, then the record will indicate this and the medication may be assigned, even though you are currently in the hospital with an illness that is causing you to have dangerously low blood pressure. If the admitting doctor, the pharmacist or the nurse giving the medication don't catch this, it could cause serious problems.

The software might have some safe guards built in for common medication errors, but there are still lots of potential problems.

I wasn't aware of the software as where I live it is still mostly the doctor recommending medicine and writing the prescriptions.

If it were automated, I would certainly encourage anyone I know to get a second opinion from a non-automated source or two.

Thanks for letting me know about the automation though.

That's why Cuomo needed so many.
