Complaint cites medical malpractice, fraudulent concealment, elder abuse and battery
Two attorneys are suing three Fresno-area hospitals for wrongful death on behalf of 14 families whose hospitalized loved ones died from a combination of remdesivir, “food and fluid deprivation” and high-dose morphine “to spiral patients down the dark road to death.”
Well it turns out that the United Kingdom has a Freedom of Information Act, passed by parliament in 2000, and it is also called the “Freedom of Information Act.”
Thanks to this law, we were able to find out a devastating new statistic from the National Health Service. Between 2020 and 2021, in the second most populous county in England, the average monthly number of cardiac emergency calls nearly doubled in patients under 30 years of age.

The L.A. Times, the Guardian, and every medium in between have told us that Southern California ICUs are as good as closed - 0 percent capacity. How could we question them?

She added: “All of the hospitals are looking for staff,“ she said, indicating that the hospitals that operate outside of DHS have staffing registries.
