Surviving Families Strike Back for Loved Ones Lost in Hospital Without Shared Decision Making

The two principles of medical ethics that all physicians, nurses, administrators, and patients understood before the COVID-19 crisis were: 1) patient autonomy and 2) informed consent.

When these two principles were upheld as they always were, families and patients routinely participate in a time-honored practice of shared decision-making on diagnostic and therapeutic management.1 Since the patient and or their insurance company is paying the hospital bills, these processes of care made the system move along for millions of Americans who are hospitalized every year.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the declaration that the US government would pay for hospitalizations as an emergency countermeasure, there were sweeping changes and immediate dissolution of the principles of medical ethics as they apply to those under duress. Loss of autonomy was seen with the practice of isolation; patients were not given choices on what happens to their bodies, and even worse, once semi-conscious, or on the mechanical ventilator, they lost all control over what happened to their bodies. 

Informed consent was lost with EUA products, most notably remdesivir, the failed viral polymerase inhibitor. Hospitals and doctors failed to inform patients that the WHO, after completing the largest clinical trial of remdesivir, declared the drug should not be used in acutely hospitalized patients with COVID-19 since it did not lead to a reduction in mortality. It could complicate care or contribute to death through the mechanisms of acute kidney injury and hepatic damage.2

Despite this warning, the NIH and hospital protocols featured remdesivir in conjunction with hospital bonuses on payment from HHS. As a result, the majority of a million Americans lost their lives to COVID-19, most in the hospital, putting the totality of in-hospital care up to the tests of autonomy, informed consent, and shared decision-making.

Did the patients and families feel all of these rights were fulfilled, and patients received the maximum treatment possible? Sadly, many families feel none of these tenants were satisfied, and to that end, the first class-action lawsuit has been filed in California.

Dr. Lee Vliet of Truth For Health Foundation: “Attorneys Dan Watkins and Michael Hamilton announced in a national Press Conference September 7 the filing of their first-in-the-nation landmark lawsuit against three hospitals on behalf of families who had lost their loved ones with the “bounties” paid to hospitals for using the toxic combination of food and fluid restriction, remdesivir, mechanical ventilation, high dose morphine-midazolam respiration-suppressing cocktail to spiral patients down the dark road to death.

After more than 2 ½ years of daily COVID deaths in America’s hospitals, we finally have the first two attorneys in the US to take legal action boldly and courageously against three hospitals in Fresno, California, for wrongful death, medical battery, elder abuse, and other violations of patients’ rights to hold these hospital administrators, doctors, and nurse accountable for such horrific patient abuses.”3

This week, we have a wonderful show that summarizes news events over August and September, including contributions from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, California Surgeon Scot Youngblood, MD, and Dr. McCullough’s speech on stage in Fresno, CA.4,5,6,7 This week’s music selection comes from Rachel Trotto and is “Progress” by country star John Rich.8

Just flood the country with printed government dollars deficit spending, and we promise that the price of a dozen eggs won’t rise to four dollars.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Vaughn & Dr. Tankersley – Given the fact that Tony Fauci has ruled a significant part of our country’s federal health funding to the tune of almost $1 Trillion over the past 43 years- the evils of the past 3 years can and should be traced to his malevolence. Redfield explained why it only makes sense that the virus was…

Did President Trump Get Rolled by Nancy Pelosi?

The pot was boiling in D.C. on that date, and many, many hands were involved in stirring that pot. There’s an argument to be made that supposedly street-smart and successful businessman Donald Trump basically got rolled by the dirty fighter and corrupt Nancy Pelosi. It’s obvious that Nancy was planning well in advance to turn Trump’s rally against him…

Nurses Out Loud with Kimberly Overton, BSN, RN – So many of us really don’t pay attention to the toxic load we are putting on ourselves on a daily basis. I’m slowly awakening more and more every day.

Are We Headed Toward Central Government Control of America’s Banks?

Are We Headed Toward Central Government Control of America’s Banks?

The narrative about this excessive intervention paints a picture of the Biden Administration’s swift and deft stewardship saving us all from a collapse of the banking sector. The opposite is true. In fact, in their zeal to score political points while preventing losses among their donors, the administration actually planted unjustified seeds of doubt about the state of the nation’s banks…

Central Bank Digital Currency Is the Truth Behind the Banking Collapse

The Tom Renz Show – The bank bailouts from the feds will ensure that inflation continues to spiral out of control for the next few years. When the feds step in and say they will insure all of the accounts, it means they will be printing a monumental amount of money. This will result in inflation on a scale we’ve never even come close to in the past. The feds are totally ok with printing a ton of money as it will crash the economy quickly and effectively so they can usher in CBDC…

Putin’s Struggle With the Complications of His ‘Special Military Operation’

So, will Putin resort to nuclear war? As I said, Putin loves Russia but cares little for the Russian people. But he has to know if he resorts to nuclear war, he will have destroyed Ukraine, and he will have failed in his primary objective, which is, gaining the Ukraine population. If he attempts to go nuclear, I think that may well trigger a coup…
