This is one way of explaining why NY has had more cases and fatalities than the rest of the country - because some of these patients were given COVID, were treated unnecessarily as a COVID patient, or worse yet, negligently. These are low income minority patients that don't know any better and are often used as guinea pigs. This would not be the first time I have seen this type of failure. I pray that one day this is investigated and those responsible are held accountable.  NY's handling of COVID was a dismal failure and people died unnecessarily. One only needs to look at the nursing home and assisted living facility criminal incompetence to realize that the problem may extend even further. This video I find upsetting, because if true, it puts all of us who deal with the care of patients in a bad light.  I will have to say one thing about this interview. This nurse is reporting correctly in describing what she saw regarding the respiratory pathophysiology of COVID presentation. COVID ventilation patients seemed to require increased PEEP that are not fitting the protocol of ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). As some intensivists note, low O2 sats in COVID patients does not appear to be a hypoxia due to perfusion issues in the lungs. In fact, if PEEP is increased it is damaging already fragile lung tissue because of inflammatory cascading and secretion. The hypoxia may be a result of a problem with RBCs and cardiac damage not MI related. There is increased levels of clotting and destruction of red blood cells. Some present with increased D-dimer levels indicating possible anticoagulant therapy. Many of these critically ill patients also can present with elevated cardiac troponin levels indicating cardiac damage - but not because of heart attack. Given the presence of abundant distribution of ACE2, the binding site for the SARS-CoV2 in cardiomyocytes, some have postulated that myocarditis might explain the rise of troponin in some cases, particularly as acute left ventricular failure has been described in some cases. There is still much about COVID we are still trying to understand. The presentation of low O2 is more like altitude sickness hypoxia. This explains what this nurse and other clinicians have been seeing. Other clinicians made changes fairly quickly because of this unusual presentation. So, I can only conclude that there was pressure from on high and lack of experienced personnel at this hospital and I have no doubt that this nurse is sincere in what she is reporting. I too have seen the same rejection of any alternative therapies not considered mainstream and the dismissive attitudes of some physicians regarding their use. Especially, when what they are doing is not working.  These allegations need to be investigated thoroughly since she recorded others within the facility with the same concerns. This is shameful but not entirely unusual when it comes to hospitals that are mainly funded by public means - Medicare/Medicaid. We can always do better and the only way to achieve that end is to be honest when we make mistakes.
