10. I have news for you

Most hospitals / doctors are still as bad and even worse now, due to covid giving an excuse, as they always were. When my father was exposed to covid by the er and went back by ambulance a week later in terrible condition he was given NO treatments for covid. Except for one day of oxygen when his bp and o2 dropped. This is in a teaching hospital. I kept questioning why are you not treating him for covid. One idiot told me it was a virus, there is no treatment.

It was nearly impossible to get anyone on the phone and we had NO real way of monitoring his care. They are getting away with murder. And many states have given almost complete immunity against any covid treatment lawsuits. When I picked him up in the waiting room the day he was exposed there were at least 50 people there with 0 social distancing. Who knows what happened when he was in the er for several hours. I was not allowed to go in with him.

After nearly a month in the hospitals, he is now incontinent, immobile, has severe mental distress with psychotic like episodes, and has a now stage 4 pressure sore due to negligence and malpractice. And there is more, in addition his gp and several other doctors and the hospital failed to test for and to diagnose chf even though he had swollen legs and other signs. His doctor also abandoned him which is malpractice. And we are having trouble so far finding a lawyer who cares more about correcting a grave injustice than about how much money a case will bring. We will be writing the suit ourselves if no one will help him.

America you fucking suck!!!! You are supposedly the richest country intw and this is how you care for your vulnerable population.
