UC Health - management rules forced a young mom to die alone.. Strict hospital no-visitors policies halting families’ goodbyes..
Colorado mom : Elizabeth Reiter was hospitalized for 21 days died without seeing her husband or two children, despite the family’s repeated requests for an exception to a UC Health - University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora policy barring visitors …
No matter how many times Reiter asked to visit his wife: Elizabeth, even when they both tested negative for the virus and when he told them he had never seen his wife of 19 years so depressed, and even on Mother’s Day, he was denied. Hospital officials would not make an exception.
Elizabeth went into cardiac arrest and died.
The day after his wife died, Reiter was overwhelmed. His words were interrupted by heavy sighs. His sons, he said, are in “absolute shock… They are really hurt that they could not see their mother at any point during the last three weeks

The isolation killed lots of people. Patients had no will to fight because they couldn’t see their loved ones. They lost all hope.
The protocols killed the patients, especially the isolation protocols. Not even on their deathbeds were families allowed to visit. Barbaric, and sinful.
I remember seeing this sign hung by the highway by a son whose mother died with covid
That is absolutely heartbreaking. Early on my husband came down with it and I had to take him to the ER. He had to sit outside the doors in a wheelchair and of course I waited with him and it was cold. I’m not sure if they were really just that overfilled, or that they just did not allow any covid patients inside until a room was available. Well he got taken in and I went home worrying the whole time because I knew that if he took a turn for the worse I would not be able to see him or have any communication with the doctor etc. as by that point everyone had heard of the “protocols” of these hospitals. Anyways luckily he came home the same day.
I don’t ask, I just walked into the ICU when my eldest had a Quad Bypass. Not only am I his mom, I am his decision-maker when he can’t. They had a Trach Tube in, his HANDS WERE TIED DOWN. HE WAS CHOKING TO DEATH ON HIS OWN PHLEGM. No call button in his hand. The nurse was in the doorway, inputting her STUPID # of BANDAID scans into the mini-computer, not watching HIM. I spent the night in a hallway and checked often. I’m 75, an Alpha, and Momma Loin. Try and kick me out, doesn’t work. I refuse to comply.
