I don't know. I think at this point even family physicians would have a difficult time providing medical advice on the COVID-19 ICU wards.

I think it depends on the hospital and level of care. I'll discuss it with my wife. She already knows what I would want to take if I was in isolation and I know she would make sure the attending knew

I guess what I am saying is do hospitals, in general, have some kind of rule that you cant ask for your belongings if you want them when you demand that you want to take your Vitamin C.

I know I want a Vitamin C IV if what they are doing in the beginning isnt working.

But let’s say the hospital refuses because it is not part of their protocol on this unknown wacky virus

Can I ,as a patient ,say Screw that..I want my Vitamin C that is my purse that is not a prescription drug.

Under normal circumstances you can call a relative and they can come give you belongings from home.

But right now..people are on their own

I plan on taking Liposomal C packets with me to ER...I am not sure what happens to them once I get admitted.
