Hospital Patients Need An Advocate to Fight the ‘White Coats’ in the Medical Establishment, Former Nurse Says

The need for medical patients to have their own advocates has become critical in light of increasing reports from family members who believe their loved ones died in the hospital because of the COVID-19 treatment protocols prescribed by doctors.

To assist in breaking up what Priscilla Romans called “an unhealthy co-dependency” between patients and the health care system, Romans launched Graith Care, a patient advocacy business that takes the ultimate authority out of the hands of the “white coats” and returns it back to the patient.

“People have believed the hospitals are going to take care of them, only to find that this isn’t always the case,” Romans told The Epoch Times.

Many hospitals mechanically adhere to treatment protocols outlined in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), but with the help of patient advocates, patients and their families can override these one-size-fits-all treatment plans.

It’s a solution to a problem long overdue, Romans said.

Romans is launching Graith Care at a time when many health care professionals are leaving a medical system that they say was broken long before COVID-19 brought its corruption to the surface.

The tipping point has caused some doctors and nurses, including Romans, to find alternatives outside of the system.

‘It Was Worse Than I Thought’

As a nurse who later worked in the health insurance industry, Romans said she’s seen the many faces of the medical industrial complex, only to find that “it was worse than I thought.”

Among the issues is the fact that hospitals are paid large incentives by health insurance companies to follow a pre-set treatment plan, she said, which has led to hospitals exchanging patient care for lucrative payoffs.

For example, hospitals that receive federal funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act receive a 20 percent increase in reimbursement for inpatient stays resulting from COVID-19, she said.

There there are also incentives for treating COVID-19 patients with sedatives and the antiviral drug remdesivir, and then putting them on a ventilator, which often ends in death.

Even before the pandemic began, Romans said, she had been feeling a spiritual calling to step out of the comfort zone of a steady paycheck after years of observing the mechanics of a machine fueled by money, not by compassion.

“I launched Graith Care from my own home not knowing what was around the corner with all the vaccine mandates, protocols, and the use of drugs like remdesivir that, in many cases, have been deadly,” Romans said.

Since then, she’s expanded her business through word-of-mouth to help people throughout the United States and internationally, she said.

“I just felt like this was the right thing to do for people at the worst time in their lives,” she said.

Rescue Operations

Patient advocacy requires quick, critical thinking skills and a good understanding of the health care system to properly advocate for the average person, who may not understand that starving patients while keeping them on drugs like remdesivir, fentanyl, and precedex only makes them sicker, Romans said.

**Comment**

This is critical information to understand.

While Lyme/MSIDS patients often have a mistrust of mainstream medicine, due to their first-hand experiences, reasons for mistrust have ratcheted up to an entirely new level.

The article gives examples of how Graith Care has actually flown patients out of hospitals that were mistreating patients to hospitals willing to treat patients appropriately.

One such patient was malnourished, dehydrated, and 30 pounds underweight.  In other words, he was neglected.

Science, Media, & Lies: Mary Beth Pfeiffer, Journalist and Lyme Patient

Mary Beth Pfeiffer, Investigative Journalist and Author

Dr. Steven Phillips interviews Mary Beth Pfeiffer.

If you’ve watched and listened in disbelief, bombarded by lie after lie, spun by journalists unworthy of the name—Then don’t miss this podcast.

Mary Beth Pfeiffer is an uncommon gem—One of the last true journalists out there—Honest, fearless, and completely unswayed by the political narratives that rule most media these days.

Her interview was like a breath of fresh air after being stuck inhaling fetid swamp gas for the past 2+ years.

Author of two highly praised books, Crazy in America: The Hidden Tragedy of Our Criminalized Mentally Ill, and Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change, Mary Beth is an award-winning senior investigative journalist whose career spans more than forty years.

Throughout the pandemic, her journalistic focus has been squarely set on Covid, exposing the many lies that continue to endanger public welfare.

For another excellent article written by Dr. Phillips on Ivermectin go here:  https://zerospin.substack.com/p/ivermectin-upon-neutral-ground

A few points from the article on Ivermectin:

• Ivermectin has profound anti-cancer effects without significant toxicity and when used in combination, it can turn chemotherapy-resistant cancers into chemotherapy-sensitive ones, as well as work synergistically with non-traditional anti-cancer agents, such as dichloroacetate. 
• Ivermectin can also induce remyelination.
• Ivermectin also promotes the regrowth of damaged peripheral nerves and functions as an immunomodulator.
• “Ivermectin has continually proved to be astonishingly safe for human use.”
• There are so many studies on ivermectin for COVID that several meta-analyses have been done showing ivermectin’s good activity against COVID
• Health agencies in Argentina, India, Philippines, and many others, have all reported remarkable benefits to Covid patients treated with ivermectin.
• And yet, somehow, NIH doesn’t recommend ivermectin for Covid:
  

  “There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.”

• And astoundingly, FDA tweeted: 
  

  You are not a horse. You are not a cow.  Seriously, ya’all. Stop it.  Using the drug ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal.  The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose.

• Phillips states calling ivermectin lethal is like stating drinking water or walking can be lethal, because they both can be.
• He also points out the coincidence that after the tweet, a physician (Dr. McElyea) claimed ivermectin overdoses were jamming up hospital emergency rooms and every major media source pumped out the story.
• Except it was all a hoax. Here’s what the hospital said:
  

  “Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months. NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.”

• Another coincidence that within that same span: pharmacies stopped filling prescriptions for ivermectin and insurance companies stopped covering it.
• A few weeks later coincidentally, Merck announced data about its new Covid drug molnupiravir.
  • Phillips remembers when 60 Minutes covered the Merck Vioxx debacle and the shocking events that came to light:
    

    “Merck made a “hit list” of doctors who criticized Vioxx, according to testimony in a Vioxx class action case in Australia. The list, emailed between Merck employees, contained doctors’ names with the labels “neutralise,” “neutralised” or “discredit” next to them.”

• Dr. Phillips: “I’ve treated about 300 Covid patients to date and have used ivermectin as part of a multi-pronged approach since the first evidence came out for its efficacy. I consider all my patients to be at high risk given their underlying complex chronic health conditions and many of them have other traditional risks such as obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. None have died. I had one patient require a short hospitalization but she came to see me after 5 days into Covid, by which time the inflammatory phase of illness typically begins. She also has an immune system disorder. Like with any other infectious disease, early intervention is imperative.”
• Phillips admits he’s seen ivermectin fail in the prophylactic setting and that he doesn’t rely upon it solely to treat COVID, but as part of a multi-pronged approach.
