According to India Today, a man in India who was 85 years old and who had voluntarily given up his hospital bed to make room for a younger patient has recently passed away at home from complications related to the coronavirus. After seeing a woman pleading with staff to admit her 40-year-old husband to the crowded hospital, retired statistician Narayan Dabhalkar, against the advice of doctors, left the casualty ward of the Indira Gandhi Rughnalaya IGR governmental hospital in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and despite his blood oxygen levels falling. Mr. Dabhalkar reportedly told hospital staff, "I am 85. I've experienced my life. It is more crucial to keep a young man alive. Please offer them my bed; their kids are little.” He was released and brought home by his daughter Aasawari Kothiwan, but he passed away three days later. In a message that quickly became popular on social media, the latter stated, "Our entire family is down with Covid." "We had his samples tested on April 16, and the findings were available on April 19." At home, the medical care persisted. When his oxygen levels dropped on April 22, we hurried him to IGR. After much struggle, we managed to prepare a bed, but he returned home within a few hours. He was in a critical condition, according to doctors as well. My father stated that he would prefer to pass away among us. He also spoke to us about a young patient, saying, "I have lived my life, and I would rather leave it to fate than obstruct a bed for two or three days at the expense of a younger patient." "The final seconds were agonizing. His limbs were numb, and his nails had become black. After eating a few bites of my palm, he passed away.
Cop Slaps Man in Hospital Bed
The cop slaps the man on the hospital bed in the waiting area. Others, though, including nurses, attendants, and fellow police, craned their necks to identify the source of the uproar. Officer Ruben McAusland and his colleague, Roger Then, were later alone with Andrew Casciano in Paterson, New Jersey, while he was being treated for a suicide attempt. Casciano was in a hospital bed when he and McAusland began to insult one another. Then, he brought out his cell phone and began shooting video, briefly turning the camera on himself to flash a wide, toothy grin before refocusing it on his companion, who donned latex gloves and approached Casciano. McAusland assured him, "You got the proper guy today," before hitting him twice across the face. Each time McAusland struck Casciano, new blood splattered the white bedsheets in the infirmary. McAusland replied as Casciano covered his face, "I'm not playing with you." Then's video of that March 2018 encounter, which was made public last week, was a key piece of evidence in a federal investigation that led to the arrests of McAusland, Then, and four other Paterson police officers, who were accused of, among other crimes, drug dealing, assault, and a cover-up attempt conduct that the city's mayor described as "despicable."
Black Man in Hospital Bed
Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, spoke up for the first time about being shot seven times in the back and rendered paralyzed by a Wisconsin police officer. He detailed the constant pain he feels and how his life was changed in the snap of a finger on the hospital bed. In a 57-second video from his hospital bed, Blake, shot last month in Kenosha in front of three children, broke his silence. "There is a lot more life to live out here, man, and I want to express that to all the young cats and even the senior cats that are older than me. Your legs, which you need to move about and progress forward in life, can be removed from you in a way that threatens your life, man," he says while snapping his right finger. According to the Division of Criminal Investigation of the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Blake, on August 23, a father of six children was shot by Kenosha police officers, including Officer Rusten Sheskey, 31, who came to a domestic dispute after a 911 call from a woman. "Her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises," Authorities have not disclosed the lady's identity or whether Blake was the target of the allegation. The police department stated that after arriving on the scene, they attempted to restrain Blake and attempted to arrest Blake. Blake reportedly approached his car, "opened the driver's side door, and leaned forward" before Sheskey, a white man, fired seven rounds into Blake's back, according to the agency.
Little Girl in Hospital Bed
According to CNN, an 11-month-old girl with COVID-19 who was airlifted 150 miles away to a Texas hospital due to a lack of pediatric beds in Houston is stable and no longer intubated. The infant has recovered "amazingly," according to Dr. Dominic Lucia, chief medical officer and pediatric emergency physician at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's Medical Center—Temple, where the youngster was sent on Thursday. "She is no longer in need of the breathing apparatus. She is currently not doing that and is instead taking a nap with her mother. She looks fantastic." According to Amanda Callaway, a Harris Health System spokesman, Ava Amira Rivera, the toddler, tested positive for Covid-19. Despite the fact that Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital, where Ava was initially taken, does not provide pediatric services, Callaway claimed Ava was having seizures and required intubation. None of the main pediatric hospitals in the area, according to Callaway, had any open beds. Ava is seen being hoisted onto an air ambulance on Thursday morning for a flight to the hospital in Temple in a video posted by Harris Health. Lucia told CNN on Friday that "like us, many of the children's hospitals are at or near full." We spend a lot of our current days in that location. Fortunately, despite being far away, we could assist her after they reached out to us. Lucia’s mother described Ava’s condition as "very stable," and the medical personnel were able to wean her off of life support. He said, "She's doing great and getting back to full health.

Sushil Kumar Srivastava, the patient, had trouble breathing earlier in the week. He was taken to Vivekananda Hospital right away and received routine care there. Even when his oxygen level dropped, medical staff members refused to treat him without first running a COVID-19 test. The patient was later discovered to be COVID positive using the TrueNet device. The patient's family was then advised by the doctor that there were no available beds in the hospital. The family members had no choice except to hurry Srivastava to the Talkatora oxygen supply centers to obtain oxygen cylinders in order to keep his health steady. The family transferred the COVID patient from hospital to hospital in the metropolis in search of a bed after receiving oxygen. The family ultimately opted to take him home after failing to locate the bed. The family has just submitted an application to the government for a bed.
