I can’t describe the frustration. It seemed no one knew or cared about Bob’s medical history, no one read any of his charts and no one was doing anything to help. Furthermore, he was now a “hostage,” because no one was allowed in the hospital. No visitors. When I asked about getting him out of the hospital, I was told he couldn’t be released, and if we insisted, it would be “AMA” (Against Medical Advice), which would mean his insurance wouldn’t cover anything and he would be personally liable for enormous hospital bills.
This was the time when we were all told the hospitals were “overflowing” with COVID patients. Patients were stacked up in hallways, because there weren’t enough rooms. Hospital staff was working 24 hours a day and couldn’t keep up. It was all a big lie.
