My mom and dad both got the bivalent booster a week ago; both started with coughing, fatigue ala omicron. Mom 1 week to the day landed in the ER with chest pains. She was admitted and then, Covid tested! Of course she tested positive so they isolated her. I told them no remdesivir or paxlovid. She is asthmatic and her breathing sounds terrible anyway at 92. So they gave her breathing treatments and steroids (although she is diabetic) and have kept her 4 days. Her ekg is normal, labs normal, troponin levels stable. I asked her nurse why are they keeping her? If there’s a legitimate reason, fine, otherwise I am taking her home tomorrow. She has grown weaker due to muscle atrophy because no one will walk her anywhere (short staffed due to quackzine mandate). I am sure they are keeping her for the money. But the buck stops tomorrow as far as I’m concerned. 😡
