COVID-19 cases have soared to new records with nearly 800,000 new infections per day.A Minnesota man with COVID who had been fighting for his life for months was transferred to a new hospital days after a judge blocked another hospital from taking him off a ventilator.
Quiner was initially admitted to Waconia Hospital, and then transferred to the ICU at Mercy Hospital, in Coon Rapids, on Nov. 6, after he tested positive for the virus in late October, according to a GoFundMe page in support of Quiner’s family, and the StarTribune, which was first to report this story.
The order, from an Anoka County judge, prohibited the hospital from turning off ventilation support, while Anne Quiner searched for a new facility to care for her husband. Over the weekend, Scott Quiner was moved to a facility in Texas for treatment, Marjorie J. Holsten, the Quiner family's attorney, told ABC News in a statement on Monday.
He was unvaxxed taking up a hospital bed since October Hospitals are overrun & need beds Not sure if I feel sorry for the man who made a choice to expose himself & others and now reaping the rewards People like him are why hospitals have to ration care
The reality is the guy isn't coming back. The family hasn't realized that fact yet. Hypoxia and lung failure and on a vent for months. It's hard, watched it happen with my mother. It's tough to face that they just need to let him pass. He should have gotten vaccinated.
So now judges are making vital medical judgements?
