EMS Update 05/03/2024

Hi Mr. ______,

I just wanted to update you on a few things...

First. My friend who just had open heart surgery (mycarditis, endocarditis, aortic valve destroyed, mitral valve damaged, aortic root destroyed) is still making a slow recovery. I haven't been able to visit him, as he's still feeling too weak to entertain the idea of having visitors. He's lost just shy of 60 lbs since January, and he wasn't a big guy to start. I would not recognize him had I not known. His heart is functioning at only 30%, so I think he's being set up with a congestive heart failure team next. The hospital bill for the two week admission and open heart surgery is over $480k. This doesn't include the hospital bills and doctors visits between January and April.

Second. I've mentioned my partner at work, whose mom took the jabs and a booster and was then diagnosed with lymphoma. I spoke with him just this evening. He says his mother went to her chemotherapy appointment yesterday and began having shortness of breath. She was taken to the hospital, and the CT scans show pulmonary embolism and DVTs. Clots in her lungs and legs. I think she's doing OK considering the circumstances, but when you begin having PEs, that can change in a second.

Third. Nothing has really changed regarding the EMS stuff here. We're still in the midst of this "new normal" where younger patients are having problems we typically didn't see in the younger demographic, in numbers I've not seen before 2021. I had a 41 y/o experiencing a stroke just today. Sudden cardiac death is still a concern.

I think you're right. I believe some people have damaged hearts and don't know. Then they exert themselves like they did before their hearts were damaged, and the heart can't take it. The jabs are like a ticking time bomb. Things can be just fine for months, then overnight, you have a lifelong debilitating illness. If you're lucky, it may be something that can be treated, but now you're a pharma customer.

The ERs are a mixed bag in regard to mask wearing. Some ERs are "encouraging" masks by signage that say masks are required and conveniently placed boxes of surgical masks on most counter tops. They seem to be just using peer pressure at the moment. When someone walks into a waiting room full of masked people and sees boxes of masks and signs everywhere saying "Masks Required," they just automatically don their "mask of shame." What we haven't seen in quite some time is the hospital using their security to escort someone out of the building for refusing to wear a mask... Been there, done that.


Have a good weekend,
