Since Annaraven brouched the subject; Highly abridged; Subject goes to Dr. appointment. 3 nurses w/ 4 BP cuffs can’t get a good/ consistent reading. IV #1 started, ambulance to Hospital, 4 more IV’s administered. Subject admitted to I C U, while spouse in waiting room. Spouse brought in to visit, “Isolation” posted on door, spouse given protocol; gown, gloves, mask, when done remove all, gloves last and WASH HANDS. Nurses, same plus hair net, EVERYTIME they entered. Subject spends 4 days, upon returning home, subject washes hands w/ soap and water and uses disposal paper towels EVERYTIME they use bathroom. Toilet and all surrounding bathroom surface areas wiped down with bleach wipes, while gloved up, twice a day for over 2 months. Thier Medical coverage was great, but the non OTC prescription medicine retails for over $800. In a grid down, the patient would have died. The pharmacy had to order the meds so going to a pharmacy “grid down” wouldn’t work. Lots of “medical waste” which was bagged and taken to dumpster as soon as generated. Bath towels, bedding, clothes got washed every 3-4 days. You/ we need a LOT of medical stuff, and lot of thinking about “what if?” Also got me personally wondering, do I want to continue to persue grey water usage. If someone at my house got this, could it be carried out to and survive on the landscaping/ food garden plants?
