COVID-19 Hospital Protocols and Accountability
During COVID-19, I was a staff surgeon ICU provider at the
hospital
where the first diagnosed COVID patient in the United States was treated.
I cared for hundreds of COVID patients and also contracted
independently to perform ICU quality reviews at the hospital in
addition to my surgical and ICU duties as a physician.
My reviews uncovered fraud extending to senior hospital leadership.
I reported these findings.
There were protocols put in place that caused--
Thank you.
That p- that caused demonstrable harm
and increased mortality.
After our hospital was given remdesivir by federal
authorities, we were
provided misleading and inaccurate information about the drug
by medical
leadership.
When I had a young trauma patient just after remdesivir was released,
she appeared a perfect candidate based on the guidelines.
The infectious disease doctor on call told me privately to not give it
to her because, quote, "She seemed like a nice girl."
unquote.
Any physician honestly reviewing the real world data at that
time could have recognized early that remdesivir caused more harm than
good.
I observed messaging by the hospital to falsely inflate COVID
infections and deaths contributing to public fear and generating misleading
headlines.
In my experience, we never faced shortages of equipment
or staff.
I witnessed nurses being sent home because there were not enough patients, while
headlines about our hospital were simultaneously running
stating that we were overwhelmed by COVID patients.
I further observed mask and PPE protocols initiated during
COVID lacked scientific basis and did not medically work.
But the mask and PPE protocols did dehumanize patients and
staff.
I witnessed patients who died from trauma and other causes were
reported as COVID-19 deaths on their death certificates.
I w-watched previously compassionate and devoted doctors and nurses
become cruel and ambivalent about the well-being of patients as the
COVID experience evolved.
The head of infectious disease medicine at my hospital privately told
me that he was working with the state government to restrict the civil rights of
unvaccinated people, including their ability to drive and
therefore work by making their driver's license renewal contingent
on their COVID vaccine status.
Hospital leadership, including the chief medical officer of our
medical group,
endorsed the local medical establishment's refusal to provide healthcare to
unvaccinated patients.
Primary care and urgent care physicians refused to see unvaccinated patients
with the chief medical officer's knowledge and approval through policy.
In response, I opened a free clinic to care for those
denied care
through my local church. The church became a licensed clinic.
I observed many of the alternative treatments were highly effective that were
censored by medical societies, pharmacists, social media,
the press, and established health agencies.
Treatments including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, zinc,
quercetin, and just physical exercise were highly effective
at treating COVID.
When I advocated for patient care rather than harmful protocols and spoke
against the fraud, I was targeted for removal through baseless
disciplinary actions with a stated goal of taking away my medical
license and ability to ever practice medicine again.
I endured countless unfounded disciplinary hearings, show trials, and
sham peer review procedures, which included the
threat of me being arrested, and this was all in retaliation for me
speaking out.
I defeated every attack, I remained in good standing,
and I told the
truth.
I witnessed physicians and nurses who observed the harms done by
the COVID
protocols were either silent or forced out of our community.
The public health officials, hospital leaders,
and physicians who implemented
these treatments and protocols should be held accountable.
The data were available, and the harms were obvious.
Accountability is necessary if we're gonna-
