My sister and I are the primary caretakers of our elderly mom. She's 89 and disabled and has issues with memory due to age and TIAs.
She has been to the ER twice this week. Once by ambulance...second by general admission. We were NOT allowed by the hospital to be with her. We had no way of knowing treatment for her was administered or diagnosis...even tho they gave us a "# to call". That proved useless.
She was sent home with a UTI she was sent home with but they failed to treat her for it...even tho it was logged.
Sis found out, today, that the ADA trumps covid protocols when being an advocate. We are her primary caregivers.
This video I just found. Hope it is of help. Don't let the hospitals run over you. Our elderly and disabled deserve better.

Sorry if I repeated. We’re just worn out. đ

Most hospitals are following a COVID-19 Treatment Protocol because they
canât be sued for âfollowing ordersâ. You may find the orders and the
protocol highly suspect.
You will also likely discover that protocol includes absolutely NO HCQ, or
Ivermectin.
You MAY be able to get monoclonal Antibody treatment.

Hugs. Going through the exact thing right now.
Thank You
This wasn’t for covid...even tho she’s had it twice.
First admission was for an aortic aneurism with a UTI ( which they didn’t treat and sent her home w/o an Rx. BECAUSE ONE OF US WERE NOT THERE TO CALL THEM ON IT.
They just wheeled her out and poured her in the car. She didn’t remember sh#t.
Second admission...said UTI they didn’t treat.
I hope she has a good doctor. At that age UTIs can be tough to beat.
I’m so sorry.
People...know your rights!
this is valuable information. It has been tragic that so many people have suffered and even died in hospitals without anyone from their families allowed to be with them.
(Your linked video was posted before vaccines became available. If a caregiver is fully vaccinated, that should be yet another argument in favor of allowing them with the patient.)
Yikes.
Hospitals were unsafe enough, before the stress of the Plandemic!
~Easy
Unfortunately....NOT.
And, yes, UTIs are very common in the elderly and hard to detect. Can appear like they have dementia.
Her “doctor” is on holiday this weekend and there is no backup according to doctor’s exchange.
Thank gawd he’s retiring. I fired his @ss a year ago along with many other family and friends.
Guess where he’s going? Hospice.
Bump-prayers my FRiend
Nope. It trumps that. Period.

I cannot believe the Tik Tok “Health Care Heroes” would do such a thing...
My Momwent through the same thing back in 2015. It was a nightmare. You have my empathy, and my prayers.
(((HUGS)))
Of course, back in 2015, COVID wasn’t involved to complicate matters, but it was still exhausting.
All I said is that it’s another argument - because that’s one of the objections the hospital will raise.
Ask mom if she wants to stay alone, isolated from family and loved ones, at her age or just stay home? My friend’s wife use to work at a long term care facility and she had to quit for her mental health. They were treating the elderly worse than prison inmates. They made them stay in their room 24-7. What really got to her was when they started making the customers stand at the other side of the room, open the door, and shove in a tray of food.
