Hospitalization and Death of COVID Patient
Keith was admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 symptoms.
Shortly after admission, he was isolated from family due to
hospital visitation restrictions.
I was unable to remain by his side to monitor his condition,
advocate for his care, or communicate with him consistently in
person, aside from the allowed two hours per day
of in-person visitation.
Most of Keith's time in the hospital was spent alone and
helpless.
Most of the important decisions regarding his care were
communicated remotely.
He was adamant that he did not want to be intubated,
but at 12:30 AM, dead of night, on November
21st, the hospital staff allowed him to FaceTime
with me.
He told me that they had strongly pressured him and
convinced him of the need to be intubated.
Post-procedure, he could no longer communicate with family
members or advocate
for himself, and that was the last time I heard his voice, was
that night.
During his hospitalization, Keith's condition progressively
worsened as more aggressive interventions were introduced.
It seemed like each solution to a problem just
created an additional problem.
Keith's organs were healthy upon intake into the
hospital, but within days of ventilation, he was on
dialysis.
Additionally, he was administered numerous medications,
including
powerful sedatives, blood pressure medications, antibiotics,
pain
medications, and other powerful medications, including
Levaquin, a black box labeled drug.
As the days passed, I watched my husband weaken as his body
broke down.
The inability to see him regularly, ask questions
directly, or intervene in real time created
tremendous
emotional trauma and helplessness for our family.
On November 29th, '21, I sued the hospital for the right to
administer ivermectin to Keith. My lawyer was Ralph Arrigo.
A court order was issued on December 3rd, '21, by York
County Judge Clyde Vedder, allowing the an-
administration of ivermectin.
So we followed the court order's instructions, and we attempted to
administer the ivermectin on Saturday, December 4th, '21.
But the hospital initiated approximately an eight-hour standoff in
the ICU,
banning the legal execution of the court order, calling the cops on me
as I calmly refused to leave the ICU,
bullying, harassing, and attempting to intimidate me with
phone calls from hospital administration and their legal counsel.
The police reviewed the court order, and they left the premises, stating
that it
was a civil issue, not criminal.
They said I had every right to be there.
The hospital continued to deny our right to give Keith
ivermectin until Sunday evening, December 5th, '21.
On Tuesday, December 7th, a friend sent me a text.
It was a screenshot from someone that worked at the hospital,
and this is what it said, and I quote,
"So between you and I, as long as my name isn't brought into
this,
I fear that the hospital will omit things to help this man survive
to try and prove that the ivermectin doesn't work.
I fear the retribution.
I would watch him like a hulk if I were the wife." I think she meant to say
hawk. "But I would watch him like a hulk
if I were the wife.
At this point, I don't think the docs will try as hard.
They are pissed that she has defied them.
Anyone who dares cross them is gonna burn in their eyes.
You can repeat that, but keep my name out of it." End quote.
On December 12th, he died,
and he was one of the few cases that Ralph won that ended in
death.
My husband entered that hospital alive, alert,
and expecting medical treatment, and he never returned home.
His blood work upon intake proved that he had healthy
organs.
His final blood work showed evidence of renal and liver
failure.
His death devastated our family, and it changed our
lives for- forever.
So I'm submitting this statement so that Keith's story and the
circumstances surrounding his hospitalization and death are
preserved in the official
