Shortly before the so called pandemic hit America I was in ICU with severe anemia requiring two blood transfusion, and my blood pressure was through the roof. They gave me an injection to lower my BP and within minutes I felt I was dying. ——The ONLY THOUGHT I had was not that I was about to die, but that I was ALONE WITHOUT A LOVED ONE BY MY SIDE AT THE MOMENT OF MY DEATH. I can only imagine how the many that died felt, all alone, denied loved ones by their side. What cruelty, and what abuse of human rights.

(Hubby had gone home to shower and tend the dogs, and all my children were grown and long distances away.)

So truly horrible. My grandmother was in hospital with CoVD. I remember thinking Lord please

don’t let her die alone. Thankfully she was well enough to come home and a few weeks later she passed but loved ones were by her side.

There are instances (e.g., dissecting aneurysm), but otherwise BP rarely needs EMERGENT reduction. So sorry!

I’m not sure what you are telling me Fred.

That the hospital wasn’t correct in injecting me with blood pressure lowering meds? The way my body reacted I would agree with that, it sure made me feel like I was dying. I was already flirting with death with the severity of my anemia. Since the exposure of our failed and/or corrupted medical community (during Covid) I no longer trust hospitals, doctors, and certainly not the CDC, WHO etc.

I’m just grateful this happened BEFORE our blood supply was tainted with the vax since I had to have blood transfusions.

Here’s my earlier comment; didn’t end up in the thread: Sorry, Citizen A. Shouldn’t second guess about treatment without details. It was meant to be more of a general FYI, because asymptomatic BP elevations are still being treated inappropriately, and sometimes with adverse outcomes. IV meds have immediate impact f(rarely warranted for BP elevations) and you were already at risk for a precipitous BP fall due to your anemia. Also, your body was responding to the severe anemia (since you required transfusions), and at least part of that is a stress response - physiologic BP elevation. Docs seem to have just been trained to treat numbers (lab and vital signs) instead of actually thinking. Grateful you recovered!

I don’t think it was nefarious. Just IMH (and uninformed) O, seriously inadvisable! Training hospital, by any chance?

I don’t think this was nefarious either. I just no longer trust The Science, or lack thereof.

Not a training hospital; a small hometown local one that an offshoot of a large hospital complex in the big city.

My other response above; IDK if you’d see it since it didn’t end up as a reply.
