Moore, a doctor in Indianapolis, died last week at Indiana University Hospital North.

She wrote about her experience in her Facebook post and submitted a voting report.

“Tested positive for COVID-19

“I had to beg to get the remdesivir because Dr. Bannec said my chest x-ray was normal.” I then had to beg for a CT scan of my chest, which I eventually got, showing large mediastinal lymphadenopathy of the right lower lobe in a new left lower lobe infiltrate.

“After two infusions of Remdesivir dr. Bannec said I don’t qualify, I’m not out of breath, he doesn’t know why my neck is sore and he is not comfortable giving me narcotics. I can only cry, I was in so much pain. He said you can just go home now. Remarkably, he didn’t even listen to my lungs, he didn’t touch me in any way. He did not do a physical exam. I told him that you can’t tell me how I was feeling. “

Dr. Carmen Brown posted about her situation on her Twitter account.

We lost another doctor today
About COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms have been ignored, downplayed, and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video asking her colleagues to save her …
She called the patient’s lawyer …
She called the chief doctor …

She was in pain and was ignored
Colleagues took her to another hospital …
It was too late..
She died today
The system failed her.
It failed us …
Anyone want to guess the race of this doctor?

I’m mad because she didn’t have to die like this
Her pain was denied
She was discharged WITHOUT being stable and admitted to another hospital because she was too scared to return to the first hospital …

She had to stand up for herself and was STILL ignored.
See how awful this is for people who have no voice?
