This Has Happened to our Friends. We didn't know how to navigate the system. Please take steps to protect yourselves and your loved ones.
FORMS for the unlikely possibility you'll wind up in a hospital in California, like RW.
Friends, we have a freedom friend in the hospital in the East Bay. His partner has been banned from visiting him by the hospital. His partner his not his next of kin. I don’t know the entire story, but his parents are the ones conversing with the physicians and hospital staff, and his partner, who would like to be with him, is now 86’d. This should never happen to anyone. Please take time and fill out these forms. If you have a significant other or anyone you designate to be your person - perhaps sign something saying you are in fact a domestic partner so that you can be recognized by the hospital as the person to advocate for your patient’s rights if they can not.
The following information is the final working version from CHD-San Mateo's Volunteer Ambassador, Terry Bottari. We thank Terry for working hard with CHD-CA and doing the research to put together this extensive resources. We urge you to fill out the forms, and carry them with you when you go out, with a copy at home and maybe a copy with your partner or family member. Unfortunately some of these hospitals are quite gestapo right now. Please pray for our friend Rick, and his love Oxana, as they navigate this hospital labyrinth. They have many healers working with them now, but I believe that it’s important for them to be able to be together. Hopefully that will happen soon. PS - I chose the word labyrinth for a reason….not maze, not puzzle, but labyrinth. A love affair labyrinth as we all spiral up a notch in our evolution on the new earth. x

Prepare and educate yourself now: it could literally save your life!
Most people enter a hospital in an emergency or serious situation without understanding how a hospital operates, or even knowing the rights they are entitled to. The hospital does NOT take the time to educate the patient and the patient’s advocate. The best time to educate yourself and prepare is before you are in a situation that forces you into a hospital.
Another fact which most people are unaware of is that hospital dynamics have changed drastically since the onset of COVID (C*19). Hospitals currently require constant C*19 testing no matter the reason you entered the hospital. These C*19 tests have been proven unreliable and therefore patients end up being treated for C*19 even though they have no symptoms. Hospitals are reaping outrageous profits by implementing every C*19 protocol available.
Preparation and knowledge will ensure the best possible outcome. Utilize the vital and urgently needed information provided below to prepare now.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Wanting to get as much clarity as possible on the topic of informed consent, patient rights and the grounds for requesting an Ethics Committee Consult, I reached out to the Former Hospital Administrator, who created the Ethics Committee Consult request forms. The Former Hospital Administrator, whose replies to these FAQ’s are provided below, has a background as a licensed healthcare professional with training as an attorney and 15 years in leadership and quality management within major hospital systems.
What is receiving Informed Consent?
"Informed Consent is exactly what it sounds like — you must be informed about the physician’s plan for your care and give your consent to the plan prior to its implementation. And the process of informed consent is not something to take lightly; consider this hypothetical case where a surgeon, instead of performing surgery on the foot as consented to, decides to operate on the patient’s hand instead. If the patient consented to the surgery on the foot, but not the hand, the surgeon has committed a battery upon the patient. For consent to be valid, it must communicate the risks, benefits, and alternatives so that the physician and patient can participate together in a shared decision. And the physician must be truthful. The physician cannot downplay the risks, inflate the benefits, and omit a discussion about alternatives to his proposed plan. The patient must not be deceived with false information or less-than-full disclosure. Without clear, accurate, and truthful communication from the physician, it is impossible for the patient to voluntarily consent to the plan. A valid consent is voluntary and never coerced. And remember how paramount your decision is to either grant or decline a proposed treatment plan. If you are ever a patient, remain in the driver’s seat for your care. You control the gas and the brakes. If the physician is not making sense, or is refusing to clearly communicate, put the brakes on until you gain clarity and are able to make a truly voluntary, informed decision for your care."
Why is Physician Communication a basis for an Ethics Committee Consult?
"Without clear and accurate communication from the physician, it is impossible for a patient to receive a valid and voluntary informed consent. Fortunately, the Joint Commission, an accreditation body for the majority of hospitals, recognizes the critical function of physician communications in informed consent and requires the hospital provide a solution; the Medical Staff must provide an Ethics Committee Consult to resolve this bioethics dilemma. And what most patients don’t know, is that they can initiate an Ethics Committee request when they have an issue with the physician’s communication. Why? Because it is critical that the patient makes a decision based upon transparent communications regarding the risks, benefits and alternatives for a proposed treatment plan. It’s important that a patient choose to go through the Medical Staff structure for an Ethics Committee Consult and not the hospital’s employed nurses, patient advocates, or hospital administration staff (including the CEO and CNO). Only physicians can provide informed consent, write orders, and direct your treatment plan. Consequently, valuable time may be wasted when a patient doesn’t directly request an Ethics Committee Consultation for resolution."
What if I’m the surrogate for the patient? Do the same rules apply when I advocate for the patient?
"Yes. If you are the statutory surrogate or hold Medical Power of Attorney for the patient, you are figuratively standing in the shoes of the patient who is incapacitated and, by law, you speak on behalf of the patient. That means the physician should explain clearly and honestly in providing informed consent for you to make decisions as you stand in those shoes. Importantly, as the statutory surrogate or holder of Medical Power of attorney for the patient, you can also request an Ethics Committee Consult when physician communication does not provide informed consent. Also remember that you are figuratively sitting in the driver’s seat as the patient. You, on behalf of the patient, control the gas and the brakes. If the physician is not making sense, or is refusing to clearly communicate, put the brakes on until you gain clarity and are able to make a truly voluntary, informed decision on behalf of the patient."
What if the Ethics Committee Consultation does not resolve the physician communication for informed consent?
"Informed consent is paramount; consider firing your physician. It is the duty of the hospital to provide another competent physician/specialist to provide care. It is also your right to leave to go to another hospital and transfer your care. You may make this request to Ethics Committee, your physician, and/or the hospital’s case manager. If you have difficulty in facilitating this process for transfer, consider an outside case management service that has experience with hospital-to-hospital transfers. (If you are the statutory surrogate or Medical Power of Attorney, remember you apply the same rules as if you are standing in the patient’s shoes.)"
What are other documents that might be helpful communicating my consent as patient or when I’m acting as the surrogate?
"Directives for Care, as the patient or as the surrogate, are helpful. The Directives are carefully considered medications/treatments/protocols/directions that you do give your consent for as well as medications/treatments/protocols/directions that you do not give your consent for. Placing your wishes in writing is both practical and legal. It is practical to place these wishes in writing as nurses and physicians do not always remember to chart the patient’s verbal information; without a written record your wishes will most likely not be respected. It is legal because the Directives are clearly communicating your consent, or lack thereof."
In closing, I strongly agree with Greta Crawford, Founder of Protocol Kills, who collected over 250 testimonies from those who have lost loved ones due to Hospital C*19 Protocols. She says "No one should die like this, take authority of your health care by understanding your rights." See her full quote which captures very accurately and vividly the EUA C*19 protocols being forced on patients:
Hospital C*19 Tactics To Avoid
"Upon arrival to the hospital (for any reason) the patient is tested repeatedly until a positive result comes back. After this, the patient is completely separated from the family member or advocate due to contagion. From there, the hospital moves quickly to administer the protocol without giving the patient or family any information or informed consent. The patient is given lethal EUA drugs such as Remdesivir (Veklury) and Baricitinib which cause a multitude of problems including organ failure, and filling the lungs with fluid (Pulmonary Edema). Doctors push for the patients or advocates to sign a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and also tell the patients or advocates they cannot leave the hospital although it is known that patients can leave against medical advice (AMA). Within days of being admitted, the patient is convinced to be put on a ventilator, usually scared for his/her life by the doctor even though O2 levels can be as high as 95%. Doctors are claiming that patients need to give their lungs a "rest" even though there is approximately a 10% chance that the patient will never get off of the ventilator. The doctors and nurses then give drugs such as Fentanyl, Percedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine, as they see needed for comfort, all which further suppress breathing. Patients are also given the strongest antibiotics like Vancomycin to prevent infections caused by the vent, however these drugs can lower the bodies natural immune response. Some patients are even denied food and hydration and all this comes to a point where their bodies cannot handle such an assault and the patient passes away. Finally the family member, considered contagious just hours before, is allowed to come in the hospital a see their deceased loved one. No one should die like this, take authority of your health care by understanding your rights."
Quote is from Greta Crawford, Founder of Protocol Kills
These tragic deaths due to hospital C*19 Protocols need to stop. It is time we all follow in the footsteps of these amazing leaders (Laura Bartlett, founder of Hospital Hostage Helpline, Greta Crawford, founder of Protocol Kills and the Former Hospital Administrator). Hospitals (and their C*19 Protocols) should not be places to escape from, says Laura Bartlett. Victorious stories of Laura Bartlett's many life-saving helpline rescues may be read in the footnotes of this article. (See footnote #1)
How do we follow in their footsteps? We, too, can educate ourselves and use and share with our own families and communities the excellent guidance they are all providing. We can become urgently needed lifelines to each other by educating, guiding and empowering others to know and assert their patient rights. Some final words in conclusion:
"...the guidance given is for the patients to put themselves back in the driver's seat. It is their body, their right to sovereign bodily integrity. Stand firm!"

Footnote 1:
Laura Bartlett, Founder of the Hospital Hostage Helpline, the only free national helpline in the United States, was asked to share a few of her many "rescues" of patients needing her competent and experienced help. Here are some of her C*19 Hospital Rescues from 2020-2022:
[New Jersey] David's seventy-something diabetic dad went into the hospital for a urinary tract infection. They immediately tested him positive for covid even though he didn't even have a "sniffle." A few days later, after being refused Budesonide, he developed hospital acquired pneumonia and got sicker and weaker. I explained to David that his dad could be treated outpatient for the UTI and pneumonia...he just needed to make a telemedicine appointment to arrange his home care. Despite being told repeatedly that he would die and insurance wouldn't pay for any of his hospital bills, David bravely took his father out of the hospital AMA or "against medical advice.' When his dad left the hospital he was still wearing his hospital gown with his catheter dangling between his legs (the hospital refused to remove it!). Once he was home, I called him throughout the night to remind him to do his Budesonide breathing treatments so he wouldn't accidentally miss a dose. Within a few days David's father made a full recovery at home with the help of a telemedicine doctor, Budesonide breathing treatments and antibiotics.
[Dallas, Texas] Voicemail message from Linda: "CALL ME, CALL ME, PLEASE...Jan's in the ambulance and can't breathe!" Jan, sixty-something, was almost at the tail end of having C*19 while recovering from recent abdominal surgery. While receiving supplemental oxygen in the ER, Jan had requested a D-dimer test to see if she might have started forming blood clots. Precious hours went by without receiving the test result. All the while, her ER nurse tried to coerce her into being moved to the ICU where she'd be isolated from her sister. I quickly arranged a conference call with 5 people: Linda, 2 of my recent hospital rescues, 2 HHH nurses, myself. During the call, the hospital nurse heard our advice over the phone speaker and angrily said, "you're gonna die, you're gonna die" and took the phone out of Linda's hands and disconnected the phone call. Within minutes, Jan's nurse had called security guards and they carried Linda out of the hospital by her arms and legs. Fortunately Jan wasn't far behind Linda, as she decided to walk out of the hospital still wearing her hospital gown. Shortly thereafter, Jan was driven to a different hospital across town where they immediately tested and diagnosed her with what the doctors described as "the largest pulmonary embolism they had ever seen walk into their hospital." Within just 24 hours of reaching out to the HHH, we had strongly advocated for TPA therapy at hospital #2 to break up the potentially life threatening clots and received assurances from the doctor that she would not be put on a ventilator unless she was a true "code," or cardiopulmonary arrest happening. Jan was safely home 2 days later and fully recovered from C*19 but is still fighting cancer.
[Texas] Nancy's mom- 93 years old was admitted for a blood clot. She was harassed to get the C*19 v@ccine by doctors and nurses no less than 5 times while in the hospital to get covid vaccine. Every night she was terrified of falling asleep for fear that a nurse would jab her while she was unconscious. She decided to leave the hospital AMA, or against medical advice," after nobody came to check on her while alarms squawked, signaling an emergency for a full 20 minutes. That very night, her family helped her out of bed and into a wheelchair. As she wheeled past the nurses station, she could see nurses giggle and laugh in her direction. She felt that the hospital retaliated by calling the police out to her home shortly after she had arrived. The next day, she visited her cardiologist office and was cleared of any blood clot issue. She celebrated her 94th birthday a few months after her hospital rescue.
[Washington] Granddaughter reaches out to the Hospital Hostage Hotline after finding the hotline information at ProtocolKills.com Her Seventy-something year old grandmother was admitted to the hospital with C*19 and unable to have visitors due to C*19 hospital policy. She had only been in the hospital for 2 days, sitting up in bed, talking on the phone with family, when the doctor made the strong suggestion that "grandma" should consider "comfort care," AKA hospice. For context, Grandma was sitting up in bed and eating breakfast when she had to hear the doctor describe her as a "lost cause." During that phone conversation with the doctor, Budesonide via nebulizer was requested. The argument was made that since Grandma supposedly was determined to be at the "end of life" - what risk would there be to try it? The doctor reluctantly agreed, "I don't think it will change anything, but sure, I'll try it." Within minutes of the first dose her blood oxygen levels shot up. She continued to get better and better with every subsequent Budesonide treatment. The doctor was truly shocked! In preparation to take her grandmother home, I helped facilitate a covid concierge service that would provide Budesonide and prescription oxygen delivered to her home address. On the morning she was to go home, the family was alarmed to discover that the doctor had started to administer IV Vancomycin, a very toxic antibiotic, into her arm. The patient never was given informed consent. Grandma's self-preservation instinct kicked in and she stopped the IV from running into her arm. Later that morning she was out of the hospital and at home surrounded by family and friends.
Really need to take care of this for the entire family..Thank you!!
Thanks and shared.
