Indian Journalist Dies Tweeting For Help After Hospitals Refuse to Admit Him
Vinay Srivastava, a 65-year-old journalist from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, died after being denied medical care for severe COVID-like symptoms. He took to Twitter in his final two days to beg for help from various hospitals and doctors.
As per Srivastava's tweet on Friday, his oxygen level dropped to 52, which is 43 points below the 95 that is considered 'normal' and significantly lower than 88, which is considered 'alarming'.
In his tweet translated from Hindi, he said: "Doctors and hospitals in your state have all become autocratic: I am 65-years-old, along with this, I have spondylitis due to which my oxygen level has dropped to 52 and no hospital lab and doctors are picking up the phone. " He addressed the tweet to Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of the state of Uttar Pradesh.
血氧一度低于55，被多家医院拒收...后来还是si了。类似的故事在疫情初期的武汉也
出现过。但尼玛这已经是疫情开始后一年了。毒运轮怎么不出来声讨一下“民选”政府啊？
