You are not alone. We are here to help.

First and foremost, we recommend that you have a Primary Care Physician (PCP)--before you even get sick. You must have a PCP who knows your medical history, has privileges at a local hospital, and agrees with your chosen medical wishes IN ADVANCE of hospital admissions. 

Visit this page if you do not have a PCP and wish to establish a relationship with one in your area. 

Please remember that you CAN prevent COVID, and you CAN treat COVID at home with the help of your PCP. Effective prevention is key to staying out of hospitals and away from deadly hospital protocols. 

Here are some life-saving tips if you or someone you love must go to the hospital with COVID symptoms:

PRE-HOSPITAL ACTIONS

• Be sure you choose a hospital where your PCP has privileges, and your PCP will follow YOUR chosen protocol for treatment and not the NIH and hospital protocols prescribing remdesivir, ventilators, and other deadly drug combinations.

• Have an executed living will, durable power of attorney or conservatorship, and an advocate designation form before going to the hospital. Take a printed copy of these documents with you to the hospital and keep them with you at all times. 

• Visit the hospital website and download and print their Patient Bill of Rights. If you cannot find one on the hospital website, call the hospital's administration or risk management department and get a copy before you go to the hospital. Keep it with you at all times. 

• Print a copy of NIH Treatment Guidelines Table 2c (page 130), showing there are other options for treating COVID other than remdesivir protocols, including important sections regarding patient and doctor decisions (see right).

• Print a copy of the evidence presented here about how much money hospitals get paid for COVID patients. Review this material with the hospital administrator  

IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM

• Take your designated advocate with you. This should be someone who will force the hospital to act in your best interest in all circumstances and make decisions for you in case you cannot. This person should plan on not leaving your side, even for a moment. You have the right to the presence of your chosen advocate (beware the hospital assignment of their advocate. This person acts in the best interest of the hospital, not you.) 

• Try and get the immediate care you need (e.g., supplemental oxygen, monoclonal antibody treatment) without being officially admitted as a patient. Contact your PCP immediately to let him or her know you are in the ER and request getting started on an at-home treatment protocol so you can return home and recover. Again, keep your advocate by your side at all times.  

• Do not let the hospital sedate you. Once sedated, the hospital can and will deny your right to leave the hospital against medical advice (AMA) if you feel you are not getting the care you choose or need.  Be calm, professional, but firm about your wishes. Your advocate should also be present and fighting for your rights and choices. 

HOSPITAL ADMISSION

• If you must be admitted, take your designated advocate with you (e.g., power of attorney or advocate designee, closest family member), and do not allow the hospital to separate you from this person. Tell them this person is your advocate and "essential caregiver" and will remain with you at all times. You have a right to an advocate and for that person to be with you to help you make decisions and to make decisions for you if you become unable to do so. 

• Do not let the hospital sedate you. 

• Request an immediate Family/Patient Care Conference with the presence of the assigned attending physician (if you do not have a PCP or your PCP is not present), hospital administrator, charge nurse, case manager, and risk manager. 

• Introduce the hospital care team to your designated advocate and tell them your advocate is your "essential caregiver." Review your printed materials, and give them copies. Review the Patient Bill of Rights, our living will, your durable power of attorney/conservatorship, and tell them you WILL hold them accountable for violating your rights and wishes and will report them to the medical boards if they refuse to treat you as you choose.

• Tell the care team what your expectations are. Tell them what drugs and medical devices you absolutely refuse (listed below).  

• If you do not have a PCP and the hospital-assigned doctor refuses to honor your choices, fire the doctor and demand another who will. If no doctors assigned will honor your choices, demand transfer to another hospital that will provide the care you choose.  

• In all circumstances, BE CALM. Do not behave in a way that gives the hospital permission to sedate you or claim you are mentally unfit to make decisions. You can be calm, civil, and respectful of others and still stand firm and demand your choices be respected.

MEDICATIONS AND MEDICAL DEVICES TO REFUSE

• Remdesivir (brand name Veklury)

• Any and all sedatives (e.g., morphine, precedex, fentanyl, propofol, hydrocodone)

• Glucocorticoids (e.g., dexamethasone)

• Specific broad-spectrum antibiotics (e.g., vancomycin)

• Anxiety medications (e.g., lorazepam [brand name Ativan])

• Ventilator

MEDICATIONS, TREATMENTS, AND PROCEDURES TO DEMAND

• Ivermectin (treatment dose)

• Oxygen, PRN

• Budesonide and glutathione via nebulizer every two hours

• Vitamin C via IV several times a day

• Vitamin D3, 10,000 IUs daily 

• Zinc, 100 mg minimum daily

• Magnesium

• Quercetin or hydroxychloroquine

• Chest x-ray and spinal culture, PRN to determine proper antibiotic

• Specific antibiotic, PRN

Our advocates, as well as other medical advocates across the US, we have seen the worst-case scenarios of hospital COVID treatment that ended in cruel and needless suffering and death. COVID patients have been victims of medical kidnapping, separated from their loved ones until the patient dies (and then families are allowed into hospitals to be with the body). 

We have experienced hospital rules regarding visitation change daily according to no established policy and to deliberately punish patients and their family members for trying to invoke their legal rights. 

We've experienced hospitals engaging local law enforcement to use unprecedented and unconstitutional authority to keep families away from hospital property. 

We've seen evidence of patient and family wishes regarding COVID treatment blatantly ignored and deliberately circumvented to implement remdesivir, intubation, and other deadly protocols. Family members have shown us evidence that consent for these treatments was forged. Often, hospital staff called families and told them their loved one gave verbal consent, even though we know the patient had been heavily sedated. 

In the worst circumstances, The Adam Group can help families try and get the care they choose for their loved one. Even if death is imminent (according to hospital staff), we can even help get the patient out of the hospital and home on hospice care so the patient does not have to die alone in the hospital. 

We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a Primary Care Physician (PCP) who helps you develop a plan of action to prevent COVID and to treat it at home should you become infected. 

COVID is not a death sentence. You CAN prevent it, and you CAN survive it. Please stay alive by building that all-important relationship with your PCP. If you do not have a PCP, please contact us and we will help you find one.
