As a former critical care nurse, I paid close attention to Gail’s treatment and condition upon her hospitalization. After learning Gail was unvaccinated, a physician in the ICU told her, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Seiler, but you are going to die.” From that point forward, I became increasingly concerned about the care she was receiving.
The treatments we requested were denied while Remdesivir and a ventilator were repeatedly pushed on us. I watched my wife remain alert and able to advocate for herself while her oxygen was increased and staff spoke about her as though her death were inevitable. I did not see a woman who had stopped fighting or who was beyond saving.
