Denied treatment and death imminent

Baylor, Scott and White Medical Center along with their doctors are rationing treatment and making life or death medical decisions to withhold treatment based on their patients age, comorbidities, and chance of survival. Simply put, they are playing god by denying necessary standard of care treatment. Specifically, nephrologist Dr. Sana Ahmed denied critically necessary dialysis treatment to my dad on the basis of the fact that she didnt believe it would change the outcome. Yet, the next nephrologist gave him a 15% chance of survival. In essence, by denying treatment, Dr. Sana Ahmed signed a death warrant for my father, giving him a 0% chance of survival. Without dialysis, he is bloating up with fluid, has a high potassium level, and will eventually die of a heart attack. She chose to deny treatment which will eventually kill him. I begged her to allow the hospital to give him the dialysis but she would not and instead chose his course of imminent death. She did not give him a chance. Specifically, after a stint in the hospital, my father was recovering from Sepsis in a rehab facility and in total quarantine for 14 days. Somehow he managed to catch Covid in this environment. Although we managed to get him the monoclonal antibody treatment within 24 hours, he still managed to get Covid pneumonia and would up in the ICU. We chose Baylor, thinking that as a teaching institution, they would have the best state-of-the-art treatments and equipment. Unfortunately, that was far from the truth. While battling Covid, his kidneys failed, apparently something that happens in up to 50% of Covid ICU cases. Dr. Sana Ahmed absolutely refused to allow him to undergo dialysis as she did not believe that it would change the outcome of his prognosis. By choosing this, she signed his death warrant as you cannot survive without use of your kidneys. Unable to eliminate fluids, his body is bloating up with water along with potassium which will eventually cause a heart attack. The dialysis was a readily available treatment to keep him comfortable while we were awaiting other test results. Instead, Dr. Sana Ahmed along with Baylor chose to play god and have him die in a cruel heartless manner. I would not recommend going to Baylor or to Dr. Ahmed unless you want your medical decisions to be pulled out from under you based on survival of the fittest. User's recommendation: Do not use this doctor or go to this hospital.
