" COVID Patient Flown to Texas After Minnesota Doctors Decided to Pull Plug on Ventilator"
“The last update I got was yesterday afternoon after some tests had been run; all organs are working except his lungs.”
Wow. I wish the man well. But somewhere in here his lungs have to be working or nothing else matters. He has been on a ventilator since November.
From a different article about him: "I think the world is watching what is going on with Scott," Holsten told FOX 9’s Paul Blume. "And as he gets better and better, we are going to see that you know what, there are protocols that should be used that hospitals have not been using. And I am hoping that changes are going to be made as a result of this case."
(Note: Holsten above is the families lawyer)
From me: I’ve been through having someone I love be on a ventilator from Covid, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with it. I sincerely doubt there has been no other organ damage after this much time, but hey, modern medicine? It sounds fishy that his family is saying they found out about his planned disconnection by reading a chart. I found doctors and nurses to be much more communicative than that.
I understand their desire to fight, but Scott (the patient) will never be the same. They are holding out too much hope here. It was time to say goodbye. And believe me, I remember exactly how much that day hurts. But after that, all they are doing is torturing him. Even if he lives, it’s going to be a disaster for him.
Finally, I saw a picture of the family around his bed, with two people wearing their masks around their necks. In a hospital… in a Covid ward… next to a person dying of Covid… and this is the family wanting to change hospital protocols…
