The doctor could only helplessly watch his patient get wheeled out.
Heartbreaking footage out of Ireland shows a struggling Covid patient being persuaded to leave a hospital by an anti-vaxxer.
The now-viral video shows the elderly patient named Joe, clearly struggling to breathe, while an activist tries to convince him the staff are trying to kill him, and his doctor pleads with him to stay and continue getting the care he needs.
“Put your trousers on. We are going home,” the activist tells the patient, as he films the interaction himself. “You are safe. Get your stuff. Nobody will touch you.”
The doctor knows it is ultimately the patient’s decision, and tries to warn him how much danger he is in.
“What he is doing is wrong. He is endangering your life by doing that,” he tells the patient. “You have to right to decide… but I don’t think what he’s saying is right. You are barely able to breathe… we want you to stay to help you.”
His “rescuer” interjects: “You wanna stay here, they’re going to f—ing kill you Joe. These people aren’t going to help you.”
