Our Father’s stay in COVID ICU ( Wed 5th Nov - 10th Nov 2020)
Not Covid, Medical negligence and casual approach tortured our father for 6 days and finally with inhuman cruelty took away from us.
5th Nov, Emergency Ward : It was around 1:00 am on 5th November, 2020 when we shifted Papa to this big private hospital from another Covid center assuming they have better facilities. Doctors who came with us to transfer Papa, clearly shared to receiving doctor that he is stable on NRBM with supplemental oxygen and doing well. He was taken in the emergency for checking the vitals and other important details before shifting to ICU.
At the time of shifting we noticed, that Papa was fully wet because of excessive urine. We requested around 5-6 times in those 2 hours to all the staff including GD, Nurses, duty doctors for changing Papa’s clothes OR allow us to change as we were having diaper/extra pair of clothes but we were not allowed to, stating that only staff is authorized to do so.

They asked us to move out but we stayed there in that mismanaged Ward. No staff was coming in between to see whether Papa is ok or not.
We were monitoring Papa ourselves. We checked the capacity of oxygen cylinder which was at last 10 points and alerted the staff for cylinder replacement. Then after a while, Oxygen cylinder capacity came to 0. As Papa was on NRBM(non-rebreathable) mask, he got restless quickly. Immediately we took out our personal pulsoxymeter and noted that the saturation was continuously coming down. We screamed for oxygen cylinder but the reply from 2-3 available staff was, “there is no more cylinder available”. Here, Papa was getting extremely restless, saturation dropped to 88 by then. |
After lot of efforts, he was shifted to another bed having Oxygen line and he got stable. (CCTV footage of 5th November between 2:00AM to 3:00AM can show this negligent behaviour much more clearly).
Finally after an hour or so, admission formalities for Covid ICU began. No history of the patient was asked who is 80 yr old, diabetic, Psychiatric, early dementia, completely dependent, do not respond on his own and was on insulin.
They did not even ask us, as from how many days he was having fever because if they would have asked they would have got to know that the onset of Papa’s symptoms had started 15 days back . Now we know as per the Government guidelines virus cannot be spread after 10 days. (5th Nov was was 9th date after the test, or 15th day when his first symptom of weakness appeared). They should have redone the test at the time of admission and then should have decided whether to take Papa in Covid ICU or normal ICU.
We kept on insisting in sharing current medications, his pre-existing diseases, surgeries and allergies with receiving doctor at emergency (who was chit-chatting with fellow staff, however no-one listened). We as a family member deliberately written instruction on a piece of paper to share what is his current medicines, instructions for feeding (slowly, bite by bite), medicines (only after crushing) and requested nurse to include this paper in file (this can be checked in CCTV footage) which they did after some resistance.
5th November, Covid ICU -The very first day we were told that Papa has been put on HFNC and NaCl fluids. Nurse wasn’t responding properly to our queries about feeding which we kept asking.
6th November Second day treating doctor(HOD) shared that he is concerned about oral food intake which should be there. And as staff don’t have time to feed the way we were requesting. So, they have tried for Ryle tube but remained unsuccessful. Afterwards, we religiously followed with list of queries and discussion everyday with him during those 2-5 minutes everyday around 3 PM in his medical ICU chamber. Our request to enter with PPE kit and assist in feeding was denied repeatedly.
We got the permission of 1-minute video calling for Papa everyday to see how he is, whereas other patients were carrying their mobile and they can call anytime they want. But in Papa’s case, he cannot make call nor he can share if he wishes to see anyone as Papa never use to respond on his own. There were different ways with which we used to make Papa speak or communicate with us. For that 1-minute calling, we used to wait for long hours by continuously calling on both the ICU’s landline numbers hundreds times. That day , he looked drowsy in that video call.
7th November: Third day again after lot of efforts we could connect for video calling late in night around 10:30pm, where Nurse walked towards his bed (situated at last in the hall).

7th November: Third day again after lot of efforts we could connect for video calling late in night around 10:30pm, where Nurse walked towards his bed (situated at last in the hall).
We were shocked to see Papa gasping for breath, the entire mouth was Red (looks like due to strong heated air and without water in reservoir of HFNC) and what was more shocking that nurse was showing the view of Papa, keeping her hands-on Papa’s forehead as if she found this condition normal. But we found everything wrong – from Papa’s such stressful condition to the half placement of Pillow, A big HFNC tube- which was fallen towards one side and looked like as that strong weighted stretch must be hurting Papa’s nose. Saturation was in range 90-92. We called the ICU Doctor to look after it immediately as Nurse did not make any improvement after requests. He did agreed and said will take actions. He shared, he may need to put him on Bipap from HFNC. I discussed parameters for covid lung settings for non-invasive patients from my knowledge which he listened patiently and agreed to it. (I requested again and again that please call if situation improves or if he shifts him on BiPAP.)
8th November: Fourth day around 7am, we got a call from ICU asking for the consent for inserting the Central line for starting the food. (Surprisingly, is it now they have thought of starting the feeding IV fluid ?). They also updated that they have put Papa on NIV during midnight but here they did not informed/taken any consent.
Same day after half an hour around 7:30 we got a call from ICU doctor that we are giving CPR but unable to get the his heartbeat, we were shocked that just half an before we got the call for the consent of Central line. Then Dr. realised “oh So sorry I called you by mistake it was for some other patient who got expired.” This was sheer nonsense!!
That time, we planned to shift him from this hospital to our home and started discussing about procuring machines and doctor who could support us at home for required medications.
Got lucky to do video call around 9 AM where Papa looked drowsy but looked better on NIV (with settings on covid guidelines, saturation also was good 96), so we got relaxed for the moment. We asked for plasma therapy during our discussion with treating doctor, he said I don’t believe in this.
9th November: Dr. said that since the sodium levels has increased extremely high that’s why they have stopped feeding IV fluid through central line as it also has Sodium content. Also, he may need dialysis. Looking back, if we compare this day with the day of admission 4 days back - he was a person with complete healthy body and perfect blood reports. Only due to incorrect treatment his condition became so bad quickly. We also got to know that his covid test repeated on this day.
In video call during night, we saw that NIV machine is changed and weird settings were made in it (PCV mode with very high tidal volume with normal Peep, which is completely against the Covid guidelines). He wasn’t awake.
10th November: We went with long list of queries and some hope if Papa’s Covid test will come negative then he would be shifted to normal ICU. There we were sure to take permission to sit inside the ICU and have more control over monitoring, discussing stuff and treatment. Also we decided, if Doctor will not respond well to these questions, we will shift Papa to any other hospital(should not be problem if he will turn out to be Covid-negative) or last option to be at our home ICU. But all our hopes got traumatized, when while sitting with treating Doctor(HOD) for our queries he got a call from ICU doctor that they are doing CPR of Papa as his heart beat is gone(same excuse which we heard mistakenly 2 days back). We requested to see and he immediately allowed us to visit Covid ICU.
When we reached near Papa’s bed, Doctor’s were pumping his chest so hard that his ribs may have been broken if he was alive. It looked total drama to us, we stayed for another 5 minutes there and we were asked to wait outside. This looked so usual for them as if they are just doing a regular activity. Approximately after half an hour, they came and gave us that devastating news. During this waiting period, we realized through our observation of 5 mins inside ICU that all other critical patients in that big room were unattended as whole team of medical personnel of 2 nurse, 1 GD and one doctor was working on Papa’s bed. Later, when we were doing the formalities to take his body, another patient passed away.
When we saw Papa, it was the most horrifying experience that still gives us shivers that how one can be so ruthless towards a life. Papa’s both hands were completely swollen due to IV drips. Papa’s mouth was full of blood and jaws were wounded and gums were bleeding, as if they have done something brutal. *(They did actually, which we will mention below in detail). There were blood marks on the bedsheet and they did not let us remove the bedsheet below the waist as they mentioned that he is bleeding from central line port too.
The whole incident has given us the most horrible experience for our life that this is the actual reality of these ICU’s. Usually, common people accept doctor’s words that our loved one died of illness but many a times it is induced murder (which no-one can fight against).

Now the details of the incident/ act that lead to this troublesome death of our loving Father:
While discussing our queries with Doctor around 4:30pm (we were asked to wait additionally 1 hour 30 minutes that day). We noticed, Doctor was extra polite with us, he asked about Papa’s health background and same time he noted the years of diagnosis of diabetes and Bipolar on piece of paper. And then he briefed the current condition of Papa that all the values are getting critical and we cannot do much.

And then he briefed the current condition of Papa that all the values are getting critical and we cannot do much.
During this discussion he shared that he is coming from Covid ICU only and tried for the betterment of his condition by inserting an Airway to avoid tongue fall and gave instruction for lateral side turning. That time only, me and my sister looked at each other with a surprise that if they have given lateral side turning they should observe it carefully. If Papa will cough, it will choke and hurt him since the airway is inside his mouth with non-vented tight NIV mask covering all across the mouth. This is mentioned under the guidelines by NCBI in one of the paper that if the person will cough it is one of the major contradiction. Article shown below for reference:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470198/Contraindications
Avoid using an oropharyngeal airway on a conscious patient with an intact gag reflex. If the patient can cough, they still have a gag reflex, and an oral airway is contraindicated. If the patient has a foreign body obstructing the airway, an oropharyngeal airway should not be used. An oropharyngeal airway should not be used on patients who have nasal fractures or an actively bleeding nose.
This was such an amateur act by such a senior doctor.

Questions Left Unanswered
After 2 days we went to collect Death Summary of Papa and also for the explanation on Papa’s case from treating doctor (HOD) face-to-face on the following:
- Why did they give lateral turning with airway inside when this was such a common sense that if you have something in the mouth, patient will cough and choke after turning? (This was THE main cause of Papa’s demise which led to choking and they gave it a name of cardiac arrest.)
- Do they have CCTV monitoring to know whether he was carefully monitored during lateral turning?
- Why didn’t they give food or inserted central line for food on the very first day if Papa was not able to eat and why on fourth day when Sodium, Urea, Uric acid levels were elevated as per the repercussion mainly due to starvation?
- Why they have changed the setting of Bipap drastically within 24 hours, Earlier it was done on the basis of Covid lungs and next on the basis on normal lungs?
- Why the tidal volume on Bipap was set to 465, which actually should not be beyond 300? (And Dr. answer was “it doesn’t matter”. Seriously??)
- Why they kept on giving 100 ml NS continuously from the day of admission, even when they saw continuous rise in sodium?
- What was the reason of asking the health background on the last day when we received a call of Papa’s pulse gone in his chamber and why not on the very first day of Admission? Also, it completely looked that Papa actually died an hour before due to negligence as that day we were asked to repeatedly wait for around 1.5 hours instead of regular 3 PM. And surprisingly doctor was extra polite with us, when we started sharing our queries. We were finding it strange that doctor liked to know the background now on the 6th day. (seems they were collecting that for death summary as they didn’t note anything in their record earlier)
Flaws traced in case file and overall:
We have not disclosed the hospital , doctor (HOD), ICU doctor and staff name here who are the cause of all this negligence/torture in above case. As we do not like to indulge in any kind of legal or media fight with them. No single factor (hospital/ treating doctor/ ICU doctor/ nursing staff) anytime can be alone factor for all such negligence, collective misses take lives. Moreover, there will not be much benefit by nabbing few culprits using very long fights with system as there are infinite of them not caught till date. So, we must identify the underlying issues and remove negligence altogether from the system with proper monitoring protocols we proposed for ICU management.
Keeping in view, they all might have saved many lives besides the negligence they keep doing, we like to focus on main problem.
- Death Summary document- The death summary given in the case file clearly reflects the negligence/ ignorance on the part of hospital towards the life of patient. It says that the patient was admitted with shortness of breath & fever since 2 days, whereas Papa was having fever on and off from past 12 days.
- Feeding (1): In the entire set of Nursing duty records it is not showed that if they have attempted to give food to Papa or even tea. Because if they had, Papa would have been in different position. The very first day when Papa was admitted, he had proper food at home in the morning but in this so called ICU (Insensitive Careless Unit), nobody has time to FEED the patient. The staff clearly mentioned that we do not have this much time to make any patient eat and the same was communicated by the senior doctor, that the staff has no time to spend it on patient for food.
- Feeding(2) : When they have clearly mentioned that the patient is on NPO (nothing by mouth) how they were maintaining calories/ energy levels to administer other heavy dose medicines which was instead of improving was spoiling the overall health and vitals.
- Mode of non-invasive ventilation: Third day when Papa looked fine but drowsy. The mode on non-invasive mode was set to ST with machine parameters settings which is guidelines for covid lungs (low tidal volume along with high PEEP). However next day, we noticed he was non-responsive and was kept on another machine with parameters suitable for normal lungs. (PCV mode with 465 tidal volume with normal PEEP). On questioning doctor, he said it doesn’t matter. Really?
- Doctor’s Notes (1): The very first day when Papa was admitted due to shortness of breath, CT-chest or at least chest X-ray should have been the mandatory test to be conducted, but they did not do CT-chest at all during stay. As per nursing records, even the bedside x-ray on first day wasn’t perform. They mentioned in that day notes- the cause of X-ray not done as that patient was restless, but did they actually tried to find out why the patient was restless, whether he has been given food, water, proper positioning, instead you have tied his hands, legs and made him so uncomfortable. So, the person who do not speak can only share his pain and discomfort with such restlessness.
- Doctor’s Notes (2): In the first 3 days notes it is mentioned by each nursing staff that the Patient is making incomprehensible sounds but they never shared that with us. Somebody should at least give some common-sense to these nursing staff or doctors and if you are not able to understand that why patient is making such sounds ASK the attendant and do not ignore such discomfort that the patient is bearing. We can’t imagine Papa being uncomfortable for even for a minute and will try to figure out the solution to sort and they let this happen for 3 days, PATHETIC!!
- Doctor’s Notes (3): Every report of Sodium/ Urea/ Uric acid was taken in their record but no linked treatment was given. e.g., if report says Sodium levels were getting increased every day, no change in the IV of 100 ml NS was made and it was given in the same way as 100 ml/hr. Elevation of Urea levels which was mainly due to starvation has not been tried to reduce by making an attempt to make Papa eat something or by giving replenishment through IV / drip.
- Doctor’s Notes (4): First time they realised the severity of high sodium levels on 9th November i.e. on 5th day of that ICU and mentioned it in the Doctor progress report when it reached to 186. Nothing was done to control when reports were showing to increased levels.
- Nursing records about Medications given (1): It shows that they were giving Tablet Zinconia & Limcee from mouth that too twice a day, but if Papa was on NPO how come they were making Papa have these tablets?
- Nursing records about Medications given (2): The Medication record document for 10th November 2020, showed that Tablet Zinconia & Limcee was given at 6pm and it was also signed by the staff as a confirmation whereas Papa was expired at 5:24pm as per records. This is such a careless mistake.
- Admission Form (1) -The very first flaw/manipulation was seen in Patient’s history page of 5th November 2020, wherein it was mentioned about Papa’s diagnosis on diabetes and bipolar along with the year of its diagnosis which was actually asked from us on the last date i.e. 10th November 2020 in treating doctor (HOD) chamber where he said-I don’t know anything about your Father’s history, please share and kept noting down himself what we shared. This clearly depicts manipulation of the records as 5th Nov document were stating information shared on 10th Nov.
- Admission Form (2): In the same form’s checklist, they have ticked that Patient’s history taken but actually it was NOT taken, again just doing the formalities of filling and completing the documentation.
- Covid ICU Nursing assessment form (1)- As per the nursing admission assessment form which was filled at the time of admission in the COVID ICU there is checklist to be filled, that whether the interpreter is needed or not and there the staff has ticked NO, which is totally wrong. Papa do not say or respond, there are different ways or techniques with which we used to make Papa speak. Contradictorily, in the same form in Functional assessment column, it has been marked as ‘dependent’ for all the activities from Bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, climbing stairs, toilet use to walking.
- Covid ICU Nursing assessment form (2)-Another part of Nursing admission assessment form was the ‘Orientation of the Patient about various facilities of the ICU’ like washroom, phone, call bell etc. and they have checked all the boxes but I fail to understand that how they have made the patient understand all this and neither they have updated it to patient’s attendant.
- Covid ICU Nursing assessment form (3)- In the column for allergies is filled as Not known. This is so unacceptable to have such kind of lenient remark in such an important document. If you do not know the allergies, please check with Patient’s attendant who will share this important information and do not risk the life of patient just for the sake of completing the form.
- Admission misses (1): Papa was Covid positive but no report was asked for, at the time of admission. To our shock, it was asked when he got expired to complete the paper formalities of hospital as they didn’t collect proof of document that why he was admitted in Covid ICU at first place. Hospital did the RT-PCR test on 9th Nov which came negative (he was expected to shift to normal medical ICU based on that).
- State of ICU (1): It was really shocking to see that they did not even have Air bed to protect the patient from bed sores. I asked nurse, who guided me to some other staff, who further guided me to PL/TL and who again asked me to put this request to MO and it didn’t even stop here. MO asked me to talk to the Floor manager and finally he said that this would be made available soon. NOT sure whether this was taken care or not.
- State of ICU (2): One of the initial days, I was able to meet papa after taking lot of permissions from the administration of hospital, but ICU staff did not let me enter as they said that they haven’t receive any information of my visit. But since I was wearing PPE kit, they allowed for a minute to see Papa. He looked very uncomfortable and groaning. I asked if I can make Papa eat something, but they completely refused that Doctor has not given any instruction to give any food orally(contradictory statement as doctor said if he could take food orally things will be better). That fully occupied hall of ICU with 25 patients was fully devoid of any staff and doctors at any bed. Only 2 nurses and 1 GD were around nursing station. When I asked about doctor whereabouts from a non-medical staff and when I was pushed out of ICU, I got to know from him that the Doctor is watching TV right now. Strange!!
- State of ICU (3): We were surprised to see scarcity of staff and no one was there attending any critical patients of that big hall. It may be because of the scare of Covid infection spread. But if this is so, WHAT IS THE USE OF PPE kit?
- Unanswered Question (1): Second day doctor shared that he is concerned as oral food intake should be there. And staff don’t have time to the way we were requesting. So, they have tried for Ryle tube but Papa removed it. Later, we were made aware by one of staff that since the time of admission Papa’s both hands were tied, then how one can remove the tube?
- Unanswered Question (2): Fourth day, early morning around 7am we got a call from ICU asking for the consent for inserting the Central line for starting the food. (Why on fourth day they thought of starting the normal fluid for food related protein and other supplements ?).
- Unanswered Question (3) During our research on covid data, it was found that common problem observed in covid patients is low sodium levels and not high. Not even a single instance found in the data having Covid associated with hypernatria(high sodium). This all happened due to wrong treatment here at this hospital.
- Unanswered Question (4): It is so ironical, that when Papa was better and we requested for being an attendant for some time for helping him eat food in an only way that we know, they refused saying that it is not safe to go in COVID ICU but they allowed us immediately when he expired.
We have not disclosed the hospital , doctor (HOD), ICU doctor and staff name here who are the cause of all this negligence/torture in above case. As we do not like to indulge in any kind of legal or media fight with them. No single factor (hospital/ treating doctor/ ICU doctor/ nursing staff) anytime can be alone factor for all such negligence, collective misses take lives.

So, we must identify the underlying issues and remove negligence altogether from the system with proper monitoring protocols we proposed for ICU management.
Keeping in view, they all might have saved many lives besides the negligence they keep doing, we like to focus on main problem.
We demand 'Safe ICUs for ALL' insulated from any negligence.
