[Natural News]: Jodi Carroll, whose mother died of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) due to the negligence of the hospital that was supposed to save her life.
Carroll’s mother Carolyn, from Milam County, Texas, started coming down with COVID-19 symptoms in late June. She tried to wait it out for a few days to see if she would get better on her own. But on July 4, her condition got worse and she immediately went to Baylor Scott & White hospital in College Town in neighboring Brazos County.
As soon as Carolyn got to the hospital, she was told by doctors that she had waited too long to be treated and that she needed to go back home. She should only come back to the hospital if she got worse.
The very next day, Carolyn’s blood oxygen levels drop to 70, and so her family brought her back to the hospital immediately and she was admitted.
As soon as she was admitted, Carolyn’s health began to decline steadily.
“As a family, we did not feel that the hospital was acting with a sense of urgency, they did not seem informed about the current science about the medications and sequence multi-drug therapies that were effectively treating other COVID patients across the country,” Carroll said.
In a different interview, Carroll pointed out that the doctors and nurses at Baylor Scott & White were not taking a “proactive, aggressive approach to treatment” but rather were taking a more cautious, “wait-and-see” approach.
“That was concerning, as you can imagine,” said Carroll during the interview with KBTX. “We disagreed philosophically from the beginning.”
Carroll and her other family members sought a second opinion. After they tried to consult with other health practitioners, they felt that their relationship with Carolyn’s primary carers suddenly became “combative.”
“We felt like we entered into a combative relationship with the same doctors that should have been advocating and helping my mother in an urgent fashion,” said Carroll.
Carroll and her family tried to get an ethics consultation with the hospital but this request was denied. Her family was then forced to take the hospital to court to get a temporary restraining order. They also tried to get a temporary mandatory injunction to force the hospital to administer the proper medications to Carolyn. They lost this hearing on July 28, and Carolyn passed away on Aug. 1.
“We did appeal on the basis of compassion, ethics, science and law,” said Carroll during her interview with KBTX. “But ultimately, we were outwitted and outsmarted by a very professional and savvy legal and medical team of Baylor Scott & White. They were able to bring forth many arguments that unfortunately,
we were simply not able to combat.”...<<<Read More>>>...
