"Federal Rights Are Reinstated" at NY Hospitals
Families locked away from loved ones, loved one left alone at the mercy of for-profit big medicine... it's coming to a close.
From a lawyer friend:
“NY Department of Health tells hospital CEOs and administrators that they may no longer restrict visitation without a reasonable clinical or safety concern. Federal Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are no longer necessary, federal patient rights are re-instated. Non-compliant hospitals may be subject to enforcement action.
Still falls short of recognizing the patient’s right to have a family member at the bedside 24/7, but it is a step in the right direction.”
Again, there is a way to get around it, all a hospital needs is a "reasonable clinical or safety concern." Considering that one third of hospital patients suffer from AB-resistance infections and one in ten of those die of the acquired conditions, maybe, it is hospitals themselves that must be banned. :)
Thanks. Good news. Now - what about right to medication of choice, informed consent to be treated or not with particular medications or vaccinations? And where are we in NYC with right of unvaccinated health professionals to work? Are even self-employed sole practitioners’ offices still closed?
