I was hospitalized with “Covid pneumonia” and a DVT for 8 days in 2021. I refused remdesivir several times, needed oxygen, could barely get out of bed to use a port a potty and was very very sick. The day after I refused remdesivir the last time, I was discharged. I was too sick to leave, but didn’t realize it at the time. The only prescription I was a given to take at home was a blood thinner. I also had oxygen. A few days later my personal doctor discovered I had tachycardia, which eventually went away. It took 6 months before I was better. I’m very grateful to God that I’m still here.

Few people realize how important coders are to uncovering the malfeasance that goes on in the hospitals. You see, they are trained to look for certain key items associated with the diagnosis the doctor will put on the patient's chart in order for that diagnosis to meet the criteria for billing under Medicare or insurance guidelines. I was a nurse for 37 years. On Christmas day 2021 I had to take my daughter to the ER because she had Covid and it became bad enough that she needed more than we were able to handle at home. I hated to have to do it, but I had no choice. I won't go into all the details, but they tried to murder her, but I was aware of their actions and we managed to get her out of there AMA before they did. After she was discharged I got a copy of her chart from the hospital and reviewed it. I thought I knew most of what had gone on because my daughter had given me access to her online chart and I monitored her labs, Doctor progress notes and orders while she was in the hospital. But once I had her complete chart it was even worse than I thought. The amount of falsified record by both the nurses and doctors was astounding. The staff had been telling her that her condition was deteriorating and that she was close to needing to be put on the ventilator. I knew from looking at her labs and just her overall condition over Facetime they were lying to her. But it wasn't just me. In her chart I found a form from the coder at discharge to the physician called a "Clinical Clarification Query". It was questioning a diagnosis he had put on her chart on the 3rd day of admission of Viral Sepsis. I had completely missed that in the progress notes, but when I went back and looked, sure enough there it was. Why had he put that on her chart as a diagnosis? She had no clinical signs. Her temperature had been normal since she was admitted, her white blood cell count had come down to normal levels, the CRP (a blood test that measures for inflammation) had dropped significantly since admission and she had no other clinical signs. In addition, he hadn't even ordered any treatment for sepsis if he felt she had sepsis. The doctor's response to the query? He wrote because she had Covid 19. I've never seen a doctor put a potential risk as a definitive diagnosis. My theory? Once they had murdered her with their covid protocol, it made their case stronger. It was a preemptive strike. See, I think all these people killed in the hospitals with Covid went through the same treatment and families were given the same BS story. None of them had to die. If you pulled all the charts most of them could have been saved if you had gotten them out of the hospital. It was criminal. This article by the coder is priceless. They have the potential to blow this thing wide open.
