(2,145 posts)and they refused. Then, when the catch Covid, they have the gall to demand treatment that is being taken away from others, because their choice made the sick. Nope. They decided to go that route - let them continue without medical care, to its conclusion. There are others who desperately need medical care, who are being sidelined because of these self assholes.
Family member has cancer, and got really sick from chemo, and had to go to the hospital with low hemoglobin. The effin covid anti vaxxers had taken up all the beds in ICU, and he had a mild heart attack while waiting for a bed in ICU. A family member saw it on the monitor and had to yell for the code team, who was (you guessed it) trying to save an intubated anti vaxxer. Took the hospital 2 days to get family member a bed in ICU. Meanwhile, FM is in ER taking up a bed that someone else could be using. The hospital was over loaded with anti Vaxxers and top add to it, idiotic family members demanding some cure they heard about from Trump. Denying the patient had Covid (calling in the flu), and being belligerent. FM said he heard one say he didn't want "no tracking device jabbed into his arm", and was refusing to be treated. Refusing to leave the ER even though there are rules the ER and number of family members allowed. Same bunch of anti vaxxers standing it the hallways of the ER and making nurses and doctors walk around them. FM said the ER had to get security to precede a patient on a gurney, just to get the idiots out of the way.
Nope.
