Doctor who has lost over 100 patients to covid says some deny virus from their death beds: 'I don't

believe you'

As a pulmonologist and director of the palliative care unit at a Beaumont Health hospital in southeastern Michigan, Trunsky sees some of the facility's sickest patients and is often the bearer of bad news.

He gets it. No one is prepared to hear their loved one is dying.

But when a well-regarded intensive care unit nurse told him during a recent shift that the wife of an unvaccinated covid patient had berated her when she informed the woman of her husband's deteriorating condition, Trunsky, who has lost more than 100 patients to the coronavirus, reached his breaking point.

When he got home that evening, he made himself a sandwich and opened Facebook.

Still sporting his black scrubs, he began to vent. He wrote about a critically ill patient who disputed his covid-19 diagnosis. Another threatened to call his lawyer if he wasn't given ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug that is not approved for treating covid. A third, Trunsky wrote, told the doctor they would rather die than take one of the vaccines.

For anyone checking in, ascertain their feelings and if they want ivermectin, refer them immediately to a doctor who will treat them with it.

Someone needs to put up a statue to our "last responders"

They're fighting a war and the country is abandoning them. They're risking their lives to save the ungrateful and the unlucky. And they're being stabbed in the back by Fox News and Republican politicians.

If they refuse to participate in their own recovery - rent them a motel room and give them a thousand hits of Ivermectin. We need the bed space for people who want to live.

The ignorance that is killing them was designed to create chaos and despair.
