Not a Saint…maybe a microphone on occasion! Just want to help any way possible. We love Roy and it’s not his time.

Wish I had more to contribute and help with. If a fund is set up of some sort, I will do my part with contributing there

However, I will contribute by offering up prayers for him.

Omg my prayers are out to Roy.

This is also an outstanding hospital.

I was hoping it wasn’t Roy. I can only offer prayers at this point. I’m really hoping he gets the treatment he needs ASAP.

The fact that he is on a vent makes transport more difficult. It’s not as simple as an ambulance ride or air transport. Things might be different in Az, but in San Diego a vent patient transport requires a specialized nurse and specialized equipment for transport. It’s called a CCT (critical care transport). Hoping the best for this gentleman and his family.

Yup. But its not as hard as it sounds. When I worked for an ambulance company, we always had 3-5 flight nurses on call for CCT’s. Any of our rigs could transport in the back, as the vents are portable and attached to the gurney. I did a couple long haul CCT’s that took a few hours. Always tense though because if anything went wrong it coukd go downhill FAST.

vegas hospitals are crazy busy right now. hospitals wont transfer patient because family wants right away, tho's get put on the back burner in a sense, especially right now in vegas being so full with patients.
only way a transfer happens fast is if the hospital doesnt have something the patient needs. aka HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE. if he gets worse or the find something else then itll happen. hospitals all have transfer coordinators lake havasu case manager would need to call hospitals and shop around see if theyll take the patient but if the hospitals are like the ones here when they are full they wont take more even if the patient needs them.

idk how phoenix or other bigger cities are but i work at 2 hospitals in vegas and they are both full and then some.
hope he gets better!

@RiverDiva any update?

The only update I have heard is that his oxygen levels are getting better and no longer dipping when they turn him. He tried to wake up out of the medically induced coma, which I believe is a sign of getting stronger. Hoping to hear an update today.

We need emergency help. Our lovely hospital has given up on our friend and he is still viable to survive. Every hospital transfer request has been tainted due to the hospital painting a dismal picture of his outlook. We need an in to an icu physician that would be willing to accept a difficult turnaround and give our friend a fighting chance. The only way we can make this work is to fill the receiving hospital physician in on what’s really happening with our friends care and where he stands. We are meeting with lead physicians at 10am to get the bad news.
Please call Damon or myself direct or text. We are out of time.

Stacy - is it possible to get a lawyer to advocate for transfer? Sometimes just the sight of having legal council makes people change their tune quick........
Im sure this has been thought of, but if not it's worth a lot.

Best of luck, horrible situation.

Talked to Dina a couple days ago. She literally is a mess.

Wedgy · Jul 29, 2021

Praying for a positive outcome. Roy is much loved. Hang in there Team Roy. Loma Linda saved Pops more than once. Racking my brain along with everyone. Godspeed.
Is there a Medical Foundation that could provide support? Like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports families with CF Kids?

I have no idea about a foundation. I imagine there is so much of this going on the lists must be long.

May be stupid but what about just cold calling the hospital administrators at mayo etc. has anyone reached out to KRMC in Kingman? They are closely tied to Mayo including partnership on the rehab center east of town.

Have you tried Loma Linda ? My son works Loma Linda V A and said they are receiving from Vegas and other places but it really hard to get in. Prayers to all

He was denied from Mayo at 4:30 for not enough beds.

Is he a veteran by any chance?

They are supposed to help you to the best of their abilities. This may be an airlift deal, so I don't know if they could get in trouble. I thought about this as well, a prison break and run to a bigger provider.

Roy is still on a vent or forced oxygen, so no ability to walk out the door and walk into a new one

poncho · Jul 30, 2021

This is terrible to see, on my one trip to Havasu he was the second person I met and in no time it was like old friends. Ended up spending a fair amount of time at his shop over a few days....The world needs Roy's.

he definitely needs air transport.

RiverDiva said:

I don't know who the transport folk are, don't know if there is a "clearance" they must gain to land. Being forced to accept a patient may upset the office staff, but to the treating doctors he is a patient regardless. This is if Havasu will release him...there will be a fight.

I wish I could help. I don't know anyone in the medical field or the legal types

Rye · Jul 30, 2021

Melloyellovector · Jul 30, 2021

We dealt with all of this w my dad in Havasu up until he lost the battle w covid last September.
So this really hits home

Roy is such an awesome guy, I really pray he makes it through this. Prayers to the family
