Document what happened. Write letters to All your elected officials and the hospital and doctors involved. Oh and the nursing administration too.Everyone who experienced this needs to do this.It is easy for them to pretend it never happened .They will try and say that no one complained.They must be be reminded. that real people were harmed by their cruel and bullying policies. In my Republican super majority state of TN the legislature was not able to pass a &*%$# bill that would guarantee the right to have an advocate (Family or friend etc) when hospitalized. Clearly there is a money trail to be followed there.....Check and see if they have put the Patient Bill of Rights back up on the hospital's website.If not make them answer why. Hold them accountable.If they reply with some sanctimonious word salad push back.Make sure you share in your community how she is treated. Most people are not aware of what happened in hospitals and they need to be.

Completely agree. That is one of my biggest worries as the pandemic fades in the rear view mirror - that people will forget. Governor DeSantis signed a similar bill here in Florida which is yet another reason I’d run through a brick wall for him. But I do need to document this somehow.

Would be cool to have an event and provide spaces for people to share what their experiences were by writing down or talking and recording.Also to mock them by something like what did you think were the top 3 stupid "covid rules" and have people share(like for ex mask on if you were standing but off to sit or was it the other way around).I think something like that might be a way to wake up some people who just accepted stuff without thinking about the utter absurdity of the "rules".

I would love this and have plenty of testimony to offer lol. One instance was when my spouse forgot their mask to walk 3 feet to a table just inside a restaurant door. Spouse had to walk a couple blocks back to the car to get the stupid mask, walk 3 feet to a table, only to sit down and take it off again. 🤦‍♀️. Like how did we ever do such stupid stuff.

Maybe a journalist like Sharyl Attkisson could do a story about these experiences.
