Medical nurses were told not to test patients to be sent to care homes for Covid-19 during the height of the pandemic, in order to make it easy to send then back to care homes.
Experienced nurse, Stephen Goodchild(pictured) told The Eye Of Media.Com that due to the shortage of beds in hospitals, nurses were instructed to send many patients back to care homes, even though they had all the symptoms of the virus.
His incredible claim that most patients were coming from a covid ward will shock readers.
According to Mr. Goodchild, if they were tested, those that came up positive would not be allowed to go back to care homes because it would be obvious they would spread the virus.
”They had all the symptoms of covid, but were being let out early because the hospital needed the beds for the younger patients who supposedly had more to live for.
”You simply did what you were told, it was unbelievable that this was going on, but most people would simply say nothing.
Elaborating on the how it all occurred, Goodchild said lateral flows were not always available and the presence of covid was determined by putting patients into various classifications, yellow covid, white covid, red covid which include those with definite covid, indefinite covid, query covid .
Those who were suspected to have covid were treated like they had covid, and those who were suspected not to have covid were sent back to care homes, he said. Provided there wasn’t clear evidence that patients had covid, they were sent back to care homes.
Mr. Goodchild wa snot allowed to speak to the press during his active time as a nurse, but can now now speak freely, now that he has been made redundant.
Goodchild had been providing this publication with some information during the pandemic, but was not permitted to say much. Now that he has left, he is talking more freely, but still doesn’t want the particular hospitals where this occurred mentioned, except in the event he is challenged to prove his claims.
The nurse added that there was not enough PPE’s to go round.
”They put fresh stickers on ppe that were 9 years out of date. Most of the PPE were not suitable for covid, they were brought in for the Sars outbreak.
It was unbelievable what was going on, but it just shows that rules get bent in times of war and emergencies.
