Daughter - Coronavirus Symptoms - Denied Testing, Pennsylvania, USA

Pennsylvania, United States

Interview - Valorie, Pennsylvania
This is an interview with the parent of a presumptive coronavirus patient that was denied testing.

Safelyhq:
Valerie, thanks for joining us. Really appreciate it. Your situation relates to your daughter. Can you describe to us when she first felt sick and what the symptoms were at that time and what they've progressed to now?

Valorie:
Okay. It started on Wednesday night into Thursday. She had developed a deep cough, a dry cough, which only got louder over time as the only way I can describe it and more steady and it sounds like a pneumonia type cough. She also had a cold, a very severe cold, and then she finally didn't develop a fever until last night. So that's Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. That's how long it took to get a fever.

Safelyhq:
What was your experience in trying to get testing?

Valorie:
So today I did call her pediatrician exactly when they opened and I left an urgent message saying to please advise me what to do. My daughter now has all the symptoms of coronavirus and I don't even know if you're able to see her. And she said, no, you're right. We cannot see her. And she urged me to call a hotline. I even called urgent care, seeing if she could be seen there. They told me no, same thing call this hotline. So I called the hotline. I was on hold for approximately two hours the first time. I mean, because I estimate that because I was able to get myself and her fully ready to go, thinking that they were going to send us to the hospital wherever we needed to go to get tested. Okay. That never happened. I took a bath, had it on speaker phone, got everything ready, set us all. I mean we have a three person family and I had to hang up eventually because her pediatrician was calling me back with the response to the urgent message. The second time I was on hold, about the same amount of time I was on hold for a total of four hours today.

Safelyhq:
Is there any conditions that your daughter has that might make her higher risk or make it more urgent?

Valorie:
Yes, she has anemia and she is a very contractive person. I don't know why she gets sick every month with something in school. And that's why I looked at urging that please close the schools. Please close the schools because it just is going around. My daughter will be the one who gets it for sure.

Safelyhq:
And so do you have an idea of where she might have got it?

Valorie:
I honestly would have to say that it would be at school. Her sister didn't get it. I didn't get it. I was engaging in doctor appointments and kind of normal social activity until the end of next week because I figured sending them to school is just as bad as any of us going out into the public.

Safelyhq:
And so what are you the next steps that you plan to take given you've had a hard time getting medical care?

Valorie:
Well I plan on just calling the hotline again tomorrow. What the pediatrician did do, I guess to cover their own end of the spectrum. They sent over an urgent RX to the pharmacy for amoxicillin just in case. Just in case it is not a virus. Then if that doesn't treat it, that's how I know sooner. You know what to do. So if that doesn't treat it, and if I can't get through on the hotline, I just plan to drive to the hospital, which was designated as a location anyway through our healthcare system and go in myself and alert them ahead of time.

Safelyhq:
And what is your message to people that are concerned about coronavirus now that it's, it's something that you've seen firsthand. Do you have a message for other people?

Valorie:
A message that's kind of hard to come up with? Everybody's healthcare system is going to be different, if you don't succeed at first. There's got to be another step you can take. Be proactive. think of yourself, think of your family, and do whatever you feel is best, not what a hotline is telling you or say. And not exactly what your doctor's telling you or say. If you want to be tested, find a way.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has issued an alert regarding a potential botulism outbreak linked to possibly counterfeit Botox injections. The alert follows the hospitalization of two individuals in LaSalle County who exhibited symptoms similar to botulism after receiving the injections. The issue came to … See More
light after the patients presented with symptoms resembling botulism. The IDPH, in collaboration with the LaSalle County Health Department and the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation (IDFPR), is currently investigating the matter. A similar cluster of cases was also reported by the Tennessee Department of Health, prompting the IDPH to liaise with the CDC and FDA for further investigation.

The product in question is either Botox or a possibly counterfeit version of the product, and it was administered by a licensed nurse in LaSalle County who was performing work outside her authority. The two affected individuals reported symptoms such as blurred/double vision, droopy face, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and hoarse voice following the injection. Both required hospitalization post-treatment.

People are advised not to use these botox injections. In Illinois, the injection of botulinum toxin, the key ingredient in Botox, is a practice of medicine that may only be performed by certain licensed professionals who are licensed and regulated by IDFPR. Cosmetologists and estheticians are prohibited from performing this practice under their licenses.

Botulism is a serious illness caused by a toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This toxin is one of the most potent neurotoxins known and can cause muscle paralysis. The disease can manifest in three forms: foodborne botulism, wound botulism, and infant botulism. Foodborne botulism, which is the focus here, occurs when food contaminated with the bacteria is consumed. Symptoms can include difficulty swallowing or speaking, facial weakness, and paralysis. In severe cases, it can be fatal, particularly if it affects the respiratory muscles.

If you or a loved one are harmed or experiencing any symptoms, it is important to report it. Reporting can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

In direct response to the Nurse Assist, LLC voluntary product recall initiated on November 6, 2023, for saline and sterile water medical products, Medline Industries, LP initiated a nationwide recall on November 15, 2023, for its Medline and Centurion branded convenience kits containing Nurse Assist 0.9% Sodium … See More
Chloride Irrigation USP and Sterile Water for Irrigation USP. The Nurse Assist recall was issued due to the potential for a lack of sterility, which could result in non-sterile products. Medline Industries, LP has received one adverse event associated with product manufactured by Nurse Assist.

Water-based medical products that are non-sterile and potentially contaminated could cause serious or life-threatening infections, including bloodstream, urinary tract, open wound/soft tissue, and respiratory infections. Patients who are elderly, critically ill, have weak immune systems (including newborn infants, pregnant women, and cancer patients), or have chronic diseases are particularly at risk of infection. However, other patients could also develop infections after exposure to contaminated water-based medical products.

The recall affects Medline and Centurion convenience kits that may be used at home by patients, caregivers, and home health providers, as well as convenience kits that may be used in medical settings for surgery or other medical procedures. Recalled kits include, but are not limited to, wound care kits, tracheostomy kits and catheter kits. A detailed list of recalled Medline and Centurion convenience kits, as well as an example of product labeling, can be found in the link below.

Consumers who have recalled product should stop using the product and contact Medline immediately.

Medline Industries, LP notified its direct distributors and consumers of the Nurse Assist recall by First Class Mail and email on 11/16/23, upon receipt of initial recall notification from Nurse Assist. Customers who received the recalled product were given instructions to quarantine all affected products immediately and provide Medline with a response regarding the affected quantity on hand. Upon confirmation of the affected quantity, Medline provided customers with over-labels to place on the affected inventory, with instructions for staff to remove the affected component before using the kit. The recall notification also instructed distributors and those who resold or transferred affected product to another company or individuals to notify their customers of this recall notification.

In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Company name: Medline Industries, LP
Brand name: Medline and Centurion
