tom c Review of Banner Good Samaritan

I drove 4 hours from the Eastern side of the State of Arizona to come down to Banner University which is rated number two in Arizona which is a beautiful thing. Once I got here I was told that was not going to be allowed to see my wife who who is to get surgery for an ulcerated tumor that's giving her complications one day ago my wife was tested for coved-19 and came back negative for ever having. I am told the only way that I will see my wife if she dying and that is determined after they make that decision and pull the plug on her not me. We only get one hour with our dying family member. That is after they pull the plug ,what happened to the family support system what happened to the mental health of the patient and the family members. What concerns me is that they have staff that come and go out of that building just like you and I they go out they go to restaurant they go to bars the intermingle with people they take just as much risk as anybody else with this pandemic yes they are trained and know how to make sure that they are using proper infection control procedures now I feel the word discernment is needed here because you have family members who work in the medical field who have worked in the medical field who understand how dangerous is pandemic is but to deny a family member the right to hold their dying wife's hand is so wrong. I feel that this creates an issue of mental health concern that goes spread I feel that we need to look at this issue a lot closer because our numbers in Arizona are going down yes but if somebody's tested negative on covid-19 I feel that this issue about seeing dying family members needs to change because it's going to create a lot more issues for people in the future how would they feel if their family member was in an ICU unit and they could not hold their hand and they died what would that make you feel I'm asking everybody out there to stand up and tell them give us the right of dignity give the patient the right of dignity to die with their family near them if it's just one person husband a wife apparent just one person is fine but nobody until they die is wrong
