Doctor Restrained, Put Into Solitary Confinement After Advocating For Mistreated COVID Patient (rumble.com)

Rumble — BREAKING! Sarasota, FL - Dr. Stephen Guffanti was in the emergency department at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, where he shared a room with a fellow COVID-19 diagnosed patient.

Dr. Guffanti became the medical advocate for that patient, who's condition was worsening, and made healthcare workers aware of bacterial pneumonia in that patient.

As a result of his advocacy, Dr. Guffanti reports he was removed from the room, put into 4-point restraints and put into solitary confinement by hospital staff for 4 hours before signing out "against medical advice".

A press conference is scheduled to be held at Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Friday, August 13, 2021 at 12 PM Eastern Time.

It seems that this doctor is one of the few who has not exchanged the Hippocratic Oath for a Hypocritical Oath.

He didn’t even try to watch it and then proclaims that there are “some missing details”. LOL

Unbelievable. These cretins are monsters, and those that cheer them on are beyond despicable. Filthy pieces of detritus.

They are so wed to listening to the establishment of medicine that they can't see truth in anything. They are worthless trash.

Rather than typing three words, you go to all of that trouble to demonstrate how smart you are?

Smart one liners are not helpful to either the target or the sender.

Thank you for pointing out the relative absurdity of this what anyone even remotely clinical can see. It is baffling why this crap is allowed to be posted.

Yes, against this so called patient advocate. He is missing quite a few details, and does not understand basic medicine and diagnosis (and yes I watched the video).

Next time say that you at least tried to watch the video but could not. I’ve spoon feed lazy people before and then caught $hit.

Relative absurdity...

You mean like disposable muzzles...er, facemasks prevent person to person transmission of airborne respiratory virus?

That kind of absurdity?

Just checking. 😄

Yup, facemarks dont work
But this video has numerous clinical flaws that are quite apparent to anyone who has stood at bedside and understood treatments.

Why?
......

Corporate run hospitals. Profits are the goal rather than health care.
Patient’s own doctor not allowed to take care of patients.

Hospitalists are the hired Dr. Kevorkians of the hospitals.

Begging, pleading, requests for consults ignored.

Under-treatment common which saves money.If infection, no cultures and sensitivities, just cheapest wide spectrum antiobiotic thrown at patient. Even hydrating IVs are witheld sometimes.

The issue is corporate greed.
The solution, non- profit well regulated hospitals with decision making at patient chosen doctor level with appropriate specialist per that doctor., Neither CEOs or government bureaucrats should have any say in patient choices or treatment.

Refusing the directive of a person chosen by patient to hold health care power of attorney should be required and result in sanctions if refused without court order.

Seen this happening for years.

We have to stop it.

It is heartless and cruel.

You have no idea what my hearing problem is so your advice is worth as much as you know.

Even with a top of the line Sony stereo headset it is punishment. Just before I hit on this link, I had just shut down a video that i could not finish because i could not stand it. I don’t listen to TV because of it. I get what I can from text summaries.

You might study Deaf Smith’s style. He is a gentleman and makes it look so easy.

Odd that Dr. Guffanti described himself as a retired ER doctor in the video. His career experience doesn't mention anything about Emergency Medicine.

Something about this story is very fishy.

DOCTOR: "I cannot tell you why they would not treat a pneumonia for four days."

IDK whether this story is true or whether this doc is right about the pneumonia.

But, from a patient's point of view, when you're rushed to the hospital, sometimes the doctors and nurses look frantic trying to save you. They can be so busy trying to keep you alive that they might not check for something else (bacterial pneumonia in my case, too) the first couple of days.

Assuming this doc's story is true, the hospital might've been so focused on COVID that they might not have considered anything else at first. Also, they might not have been open to suggestions from a retired doctor who was their patient. (Picturing this doc's story happening like this House episode.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually I've been reading smaller versions of this issue for a long time now. From the start there was a rush to use the PCR test knowing that it does not identify Covid or other illnesses. It doesn't identify if the person has enough viral load to be sick, or was sick 2 months ago, or has dead fragments of so old flu or cold virus.

Then they ran the PCR at cycle rates that even Dr. Fauci admitted rendered 'test' results meaningless (He said all that could be left by then were nucleotides).

So if you look at a system set up to overlook pneumonia, influenza and other illnesses, and misdiagnose them as Covid, you're looking at a system refusing to treat pneumonia right on through the death of the patient, because by definition Covid patients are not permitted treatment other than ventilators, untreated pneumonia is often fatal and ventilators are too agressive for high levels of inflamation and diseased lungs (high flow oxygen has rumored to have better results), and that was in the news mid 2020.

If they overlook pneumonia, they can get another 50K for an average Covid patient. 

They are relying upon CDC rules for their Covid protocol. The rules are 340 pages long and unerringly direct doctors to provide harmful treatments and deny effective ones. This thread explains and cites specific rules in the CDC protocol.

The federal government captured our medical and hospital system. SOme say it started with Obamacare. It brought all under one umbrella in the name of efficiency. What it really did is remove the ability of doctors to heal based on their training and experience. Now most doctors are caught in hospital systems with mandatory protocols, the doctors can lose their hospital privileges if they con't comply. 
It's as if the left installed a medical tyrant to rule over all of medicine and few can escape it. The medical tyrant demands a body count to keep the plandemic scam going because it wants to keep Trump from demonstrating the election was stolen, and freeing the people from the worsening lockdowns and growing Communist control of all systems. 
Nutrition is an important aspect of avoid and treating Covid. That's why the CDC, NIH never talk about it.
In the shadows, the public is sharing information about supplements. Therefore, the Biden regime has stated that he will order supplements pulled off the shelves and they will require a physician's prescription.
The CDC has barred teh use of effective drugs. Technically they had to reword their prohibition to sound neutral, but let's admit that people routineyl state there doctor or hospital simply will not prescribe Ivermectin or HCQ/AZ. Their doctor will prescribe nothing. That' stheir treatment for Covid. Nothing. I know there are mild symptom controls and damaging ventilators, but otherwise, NOTHING is all you're going to get.
The feds exerted pressure on the pharmacy system and the pharmacy system pressured the pharmacists in order to choke off the normal ability for phsycians to write off label prescriptions as they normally would. 
Over and over, without missing a step, the Biden regime intercepts and eliminates successful treatments and implements damaging ones. 
We will never be free again until we reject the toxic control of the unelected CDC, and it's handlers Bill Gates, George Soros, and partners in China. (Bill Gates is the CDC's largest donor - yes they operate a 501c3 to take special interest money)
 
We will never breath free again unless we reject the NIH, which is also owned by Bill Gates (they have a foundation and strong collaboration with bill gates going back  decades, and Bill Gates owns Fauci).

We will never break free of communism if we don't reject the puppets being used to herd us into the kill pen by acting as if all is well and 'situation normal'.

If true, there should be charges for unlawful arrest and one massive lawsuit.

What a mess. The past 19 months have been a nightmare.

If they overlook pneumonia, they can get another 50K for an average Covid patient.

So, the greater the number of patients diagnosed with Covid, the more money the hospital receives. Now, the staff is overwhelmed, so they follow CDC protocols, and they don't deviate from them. Given that situation, where the staff is treating multiple patients for Covid, it's not difficult to see why they might overlook something, whereas a doctor in the next bed all day might make different observations.

I read the story you posted on that other thread. At least one of the protocols mentioned by the wife was in place long before Covid: throwing away the hospital gown every time you visit a patient in isolation, even though you're wearing the same shoes, etc. That has been the protocol for a long time. Hospitals are never really sterile places.
