ED Nurse Documents Young Cardiac Cases and Severe Reactions

Firstly, can I say you are doing a great job and this is scary for me (which I’m sure you are aware).. as I have been very vocal at work in questioning these particular cases. The first was in August 2021 – a young (early 20s) female who came in with the worst exacerbation of eczema I have ever seen. She had reacted to her childhood vaccines so her mother had protected her from ever having more. 4 colleagues at her workplace had the v. on the Wednesday. Thursday she worked with them in the office, and by that night her eczema was playing up, she felt extremely nauseous and couldn’t sleep.

Over the weekend, she was in so much pain because her skin had started to weep,so presented to ED. All of us nurses who looked after her were ‘awake’. she became more dehydrated overnight as all of her body fluid leaked out of every pore and her IV lines kept falling out because her skin and the bed were saturated. I called the DCCM reg to resite the IV who was unable to, her EWS (early warning score) was becoming unstable because we couldn’t hydrate her. I suggested shedding, but was told that was impossible.

2nd significant case, was a 26y Pacific Island male, presented 2/7 post 2nd jab with increased SOB and decreased exercise tolerance, with some chest pain. Because he was morbidly obese, the Drs blamed his symptoms on that (near 250kg). he was diagnosed with CHF (congestive heart failure), myocarditis and pericarditis. I asked the Drs to report to CARM and was mocked and told it was entirely due to his obesity. I said “but last week he was large but could walk 8km without getting breathless, this week he can’t walk 8 steps without barely being able to breathe! Surely the difference is the v… and the health profession are telling people who are this overweight that its safe to get and then blaming their comorbodities for their reactions.. you can’t have it both ways!”… still laughed and mocked. I gave the patient the details for CARM and asked him to report… in hindsight, I should have done this myself. I felt his care was compromised due to body shame and prejudice and and reported it to the CNM (clinical nurse manager).

The week before Christmas last year, I had x3 young males in my care (cardiac monitoring room) aged around 19, 29, 31 who all had myocarditis post j.. all had got it against their better judgment to ‘participate in society and keep their employment’.. I specifically remember this day (coz I looked after people with heart issues post v EVERY shift from September to December last year) .. because one of the patients asked me how common it was and I said that there were x3 of them in the room right now.. and gave him the details to report to CARM as well.

Mid to late January, we started to see the elderly post booster who had previously had mild cognitive impairment come in with sudden significant (post booster) decline and at least 3 cases of full blown dementia .. with new aggressive behavior. I have also seen sudden, fast onset of cancers both in patients in remission as well as new diagnosis.

Also immunocompromised patients who have had x4 jbs coming in with severe covid and put on remdisovir and dying. unsure if b/c of already immunocompromised, extra jbd or remdisovir adding to it.
