RTB,
Good article about who may have been the patient who inspired Dr. BP's famous quote - thanks for posting. I could not read it on the sfchronicle website without a subscription but I found it at another site (link below).
A few excerpts:
On Feb. 29, Baluyot was admitted to El Camino Hospital in Los Gatos after her unrelenting fever spiked to 103 degrees and she had difficulty breathing. She was placed in isolation and tested for COVID-19.
When the 67-year-old grandmother was brought into a San Jose hospital in early March, her doctors tried everything to help her. With her organs failing, they had one option: put her on life support and induce a coma.
While she was on life support, Baluyot received the antiviral medicine remdesivir and leronlimab, a therapy for severe and critical COVID patients that was used under the FDA’s emergency new drug program.
Still, doctors didn’t think she would survive and scheduled an end-of-life visit for her daughters.
Baluyot was discharged May 1 and sent to a rehabilitation facility where she stayed until early June before returning to her daughter’s San Jose home.
