Georgia hospital refuses to honor requests from couple gravely suffering from COVID to be treated with successful alternative treatments

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, President and CEO of the Truth for Health Foundation, excoriated a Georgia hospital that won't consider alternative treatments for a married couple languishing with severe cases of COVID-19.

Joseph and Beverly Rickels, both in their mid-60s, were admitted to Piedmont Hospital on Sunday with a diagnosis of COVID pneumonia, according to their daughter Courtney Rimmer.

Based on reports of disastrous results, and despite the hospital pressing them to do so, Joseph and Beverly each stipulated very strenuously that they did not want to be put on a ventilator.

Having read extensively on the success of alternative treatments, they requested a different protocol than the one involving the controversial, extremely expensive Remdesivir which the hospital had put them on.

According to Vliet, such a refusal from the hospital to consider a different treatment protocol which has shown tremendous success virtually everywhere it has been used, is a violation of the hospital's "Own patients' rights forms that every patient signs, that every hospital has to provide, when you enter the hospital."

"Why? Because if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for - if they're Medicare - typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000," he continued.

According to Rimmer, one of the doctors at Piedmont Hospital, Timothy Lin, said that "We don't practice quack medicine at this hospital," when asked about alternative treatment.
