MY FLOXING STORY
(Or, How Easy It Is To Get Iatrogenically Injured and/or Killed)
Dear Visitor:
Much like a whodunit, I hereby submit my floxing case to you in detail, so that you may determine if you agree that, based on the facts and my grounded conjectures (which I will clearly distinguish), this case constitutes, at minimum, gross negligence and, as I am fully convinced, possibly also crimes including, but not limited to, malicious intent to cause harm, reckless endangerment, medical battery, medical assault with a deadly weapon (Levaquin) and even attempted medical murder.
INTRODUCTION
SCENE OF THE ALLEGED CRIME:
QUIRÓNSALUD BARCELONA (QSB)
IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION
MAIN CONTENTIONS OF THE CASE
(Interested physicians are kindly invited to refute, challenge and contest.)
1) NEVER is there ANY justification to administer a fluoroquinolone (FQ) behind the patient's back, i.e., without fully informing the patient of all the risks and obtaining their consent. Intravenous administration is obviously the only way a patient can be floxed without their knowledge, and is what occurred in my case. Should the patient be unconscious (not my case), next of kin should provide consent after being informed.
2) The ER physician's DUTY is to state the name of the FQ in their ER report (i.e., Levaquin, Cipro), and not merely "IV antibiotics."
3) After 20 years of the most dramatic regulatory agency warnings about FQs, it is also the duty and responsibility of all physicians to be fully aware of them. An FQ should never be used as first line. Today, the indications clearly state “when all other options have failed.” The shameful excuse that “doctors don’t know about the risk” no longer holds. Once again, it is their DUTY to have in-depth knowledge of the risks of ALL the drugs they administer and, furthermore, to INFORM the patient so that they may decide whether they are willing to take said risks. In the case of FQs, we have one of two situations going on: either a) after 20 years of warnings and untold numbers of fatalities, cripples and severely affected victims, doctors indeed remain unaware of the severe risks as they continue to dish out and mainline the drug like candy, in which case they are unfit to treat an amoeba; or b) they are in fact aware of all the extremely serious risks and nevertheless continue to prescribe and administer the drug like there’s no tomorrow. They are thus maliciously crippling people on purpose and should be doing time for assault with a deadly weapon, felony battery, and even attempted murder.
With respect to this point, note the recent case of famous singer-songwriter Bobby Caldwell, murdered with Levofloxacin:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12992515/Doctors-told-stop-dishing-common-antibiotic.html
Also with respect to point 3), it just so happens that Complainant was remotely in attendance at the March 2024 ICD-10 Coordination & Maintenance Committee Meeting. (FQAD victims, whom I’ve joined in the fight, have been trying to obtain an ICD-10 code for 36 years, so that the disability is legitimize once and for all, to generate awareness among doctors, so that insurance can cover treatments, and much more.) Dr. Stefan Pieper, a champion of our cause, was the physician who presented to the committee the arguments that support the creation of the code. Of great note, is that one of the proposed codes (T36.AX3) refers to the administration of a FQ as ASSAULT, which would apply to my case. Also remarkable is the clear use of term POISONING. Calling a spade, a spade.
3) This is no “medication.” This is none other than a 100% synthetic, deadly, cytotoxic, chemotherapeutic poison that does an outstanding job at turning hitherto healthy people into chronically-diseased wretches. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4600819/)
4) The Community-Acquired Pneumonia "diagnosis" in my case is an absolute joke, as is COPD. We contend that the CAP was the pretext used to justify a floxing out of sheer spite, as explained below.
5) Once admitted, and faced with a 60-year-old patient presenting with atrial flutter, pulmonary edema, dilated cardiomyopathy (LVEF ~35%) and QT-INTERVAL PROLONGATION (a central argument), the first cardiologist to arrive should have immediately discontinued the Levaquin. The fact that he only discontinued the Salbutamol (Ventolin) while allowing the administration of Levaquin to continue in conjunction with Bisoprolol and Digoxin reveals one of the following: a) sheer and shameful ignorance of the drug's endless list of the most extreme regulatory and lab warnings (including Black Box); b) awareness of the latter, but zero concern about the drug potentially injuring or killing the patient (not at all uncommon); or c) awareness of the extremely serious risks and nevertheless proceeding with administration with intent to cause harm.
CASE AT ISSUE
The root fact of the case is that while I, the Complainant, was actually suffering from a heart condition, a newly-graduated, pathetically incompetent and, we contend, criminally malicious ER doctor, SOFÍA INÉS GARABETYÁN (License #61044), administered not only a fluoroquinolone (in and of itself an extremely serious risk and negligence), but also one of the most toxic (Levofloxacin). Dr. Garabetyán committed the act without my knowledge or consent, and did so either a) in abject ignorance of the endless and extreme warnings of the package insert, the AEMPS, EMA and FDA; or b) which is much worse and extremely serious, knowingly, willfully and with complete awareness and disregard of said warnings, and in our opinion out of spite and with criminal intent to inflict harm, as we believe the circumstantial evidence demonstrates. She committed said act due to a mere suspicion of pneumonia (a total fabrication), without any confirmation whatsoever, and while flagrantly ignoring a) my initial and clear refusal to take any antibiotics; and b) the three and solely three reasons cardiology rushed me to the ER, and which are reflected in the subsequent cardiology report dated 06APR2022: flutter, pulmonary edema and dilated cardiomyopathy (LVEF 35%). As a result of that egregiously serious, negligent and, in our opinion, criminal act, I have been suffering from diverse poison-induced injuries and disabilities (aka FQAD/FQT) since 19SEP2022, several of which have already been confirmed, inter alia: mast cell activation, tendon and muscle dysfunction, peripheral, central, autonomic and small fiber neuropathy, GABA dysfunction, vitreous detachment (floater). At this point, 18 months since first symptom as of this writing, I can say that the damage is most likely permanent.
PART ONE
CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT OF MY FLOXING
(WHICH I CONTEND WAS CRIMINAL)
Now then, Dear Visitor, what follows is, if you'll excuse the pun, a blow-by-blow account of how I was IV floxed without my knowledge or consent and ended up with FQAD: peripheral and small fiber neuropathy, vitreous detachment (daily reminder of the traumatic experience), tendinopathy, heart pain & pounding, vascular problems, intracranial pressure, mitochondrial energy depletion and even, recently, onset of rheumatoid arthritis. The list is not comprehensive as all FQAD victims will attest that Fluoroquinolone Poisoning is the "curse that keeps on cursing."
FACTS OF THE CASE IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
RELEVANT MEDICAL RECORDS INCLUDED HEREIN
WHEREAS,
26MAR2022 - HOME
• Walking around the Barcelona metro (subway) system, I noticed, for the first time ever, a peculiar fatigue and strong dyspnea. Soon to turn 60, I jokingly brushed it off, thinking out loud, "Boy, I must be getting old."
29MAR2022 - HOME
• Dyspnea persisting, just for the heck of it I check heart rate with a pulse oximeter: 150! I dash off to the ER at...
THE ABATTOIR WHERE I WOULD SOON BE FLOXED
BEHIND MY BACK AND PERMANENTLY DISABLED!
29MAR2022 - ER - DR. SOFÍA INÉS GARABETYÁN (#61044)
(Refer to ER Report dated 29MAR2022 11:35)
• Complainant went to ER presenting with two, and solely two, symptoms: 148 heart rate and dyspnea. ER doctor Sofía Inés Garabetyán (#61044), fresh out of a Patagonian med school, completely ignored the heart issue (mistaking flutter for fibrillation) and insisted on her completely erroneous diagnosis of bronchitis and COPD. Complainant solely had fatigue, dyspnea and 150 HR, and absolutely no other symptoms. I had no pain whatsoever, no fever, no cough, nor sputum of any kind or color, nor chills, vomiting, myalgia or any other signs or symptoms whatsoever of an "infection."
• Upon making the serious mistake of mentioning that I had stopped smoking in 2014 and had been vaping since, the doctor totally and completely disregarded the heart, and became obsessed with bronchitis, COPD and antibiotics. I had no "productive/wet" cough, that is a flagrant lie. The "hemoptoic" cough was ONE SINGLE COUGH at home with blood droplets and was obviously caused, as subsequently explain by a competent physician, by the heart failure that the grossly inept (to the point of mistaking flutter for fibrillation) Dr. Garabetyán proved incapable of diagnosing.
• As noted in the ER report of 29MAR2022, I clearly stated I would not be taking any antibiotics, especially since I didn't even have a fever. While Complainant did not know the etiology of the symptoms at the time, I KNEW for a fact I did NOT have ANY BRONCHITIS or infection of any sort. Once again, I had no fever, no phlegm, no coughing and none of the other symptoms typically attributed to so-called "infections." To be clear, as I would later find out, what I actually had was an atrial flutter that was causing pulmonary edema, which in turn was causing the dyspnea. But even though said clinical picture, as confirmed by competent physicians, is Med School 101 material, it certainly proved way too complicated for Ms Garabetyán to figure out, which is likely why she fell back upon the one and only medical subject she seems to have perfunctorily studied: infections and antibiotics.
• At this point, I totally and wholeheartedly distrusted Ms Garabetyán and became wary of the iatrogenic risks I'd be exposed to under her care. She turned argumentative and irked at my refusal to take antibiotics, and thus sent me home with inhalers and appointments with pulmonology and cardiology on 06APR. Unfortunately, and much to my dismay, at that time I did fall for the also completely erroneous diagnosis of COPD (never had it nor, obviously, since there is no cure, have it.)
• Based on my informed common sense opinion, and that of an experience internist who cannot conceive how they could've discharged me with a heart rate of 150, it is absolutely inexplicable that either a) a cardiologist was not called to the room on an emergency basis, or b) I was not immediately transferred to emergency cardiology care. It cannot be that complicated to run an echocardiogram and diagnose a flutter.
DEFENDANT #1 AND PRINCIPAL OF THE ALLEGED CRIME
ALAS, THERE SHE IS, IN ALL HER FLOXING GLORY. A VERITABLE POSEUR, STRIKING A POSE BEFORE THE EIFFEL TOWER, TRAIL OF BODIES BEHIND HER. WHO WOULD SUSPECT THAT BEHIND SUCH A WARM AND FUZZY COUNTENANCE, LIES A DEADLY APATE, A FLOXING MATA-HARI, A KALI, A LEVAQUIN LILITH.
06APR2022/A - PULMONOLOGY & CARDIOLOGY
(Refer to Cardiology Report dated 06APR2022 13:40)
• I virtually crawl to Pulmonology, but since I was barely able to move the spirometer, they suggested I first go to cardiology. I get there, and both doctor and staff scream their heads off about the face diaper, when I'm barely able to breathe and on the verge of collapse. That's modern medicine for you. When the cardiologist finally does the echocardiogram, he flips out, frantically starts paperwork, points to screen: "You have an atrial flutter, we're going to admit you and try to stop it with medication."
• As said Cardiologist (the ONLY doctor that got it right and never injured me) noted in his report, he sends me back to the ER for THREE and only THREE diagnoses: flutter, pulmonary edema and dilated cardiomyopathy (LVEF 35%). THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. He requests admittance SOLELY FOR THOSE THREE DIAGNOSES. "You have an atrial flutter, we're going to admit you and try to stop it with medication." Period. Not one word about "infections," nor "bronchitises" nor "pneumonias" nor COPDs nor other hallucinations, chimeras or bullshit.
06ABR2022/B - ER - 2nd VISIT - DR. SOFÍA INÉS GARABETYÁN (#61044)
(Compare ER Report dated 06APR2022 15:57 against Cardiology Report dated 06APR2022 13:40)
• I'm back again at the same ER department, and the same dangerously malicious, incompetent and dunderhead apprentice, "Dr." Sofía Inés Garabetyán, shows up. She immediately glowers at me, and displays an irksome air of animosity, as if holding a grudge for my dismissal of her "bronchitis" diagnosis on the first visit. First time in my life (60) I ever went to a hospital for a heart issue, and she classifies it as "chronic." Ms Garabetyán completely and totally ignores the flutter, and continues to insist on her "infections" and COPD. The highlighted portion is completely erroneous. I had no pneumonia nor COPD whatsoever. Several doctors have so confirmed, but all I’ve been able to secure in writing is a spirometer test that rules out COPD. Nevertheless, the CAP diagnosis falls flat on its face. Based on the information reflected in the report and as will be exhaustively demonstrated below, no CAP was ever unequivocally proven. However, what IS a proven fact, prima facie, is that I was administered Levofloxacin in direct violation of a) my stated refusal to take antibiotics; and b) without being informed of said administration and the extreme risks it entailed, as instructed by regulatory agencies’ and manufacturers’ warnings.
• This so-called doctor once again totally and completely ignores the goal of stopping the flutter and my refusal to take antibiotics, which is reflected on the ER Report dated 29MAR2022. She then proceeds to "interpret" a Community-Acquired Pneumonia in COPD patient, and COPD, with absolutely no compelling and conclusive evidence whatsoever, at most only mere and remotely potential indications, highly scarce and extremely tenuous, that could be interpreted in myriad ways. However, as a result of that slipshod, perfunctory "diagnosis" pulled out of a rabbit's hat, which we believe to be glaringly suspicious and motivated by spite (a convenient but still insufficient cover to deliberately administer the most toxic antibiotic possible as first line "treatment" for a non-existent condition), Ms Garabetyán intravenously administered Levofloxacin (Levaquin) without my knowledge or consent and without stating the name of the drug in her ER report.
• As a direct consequence of said extremely serious and negligent act (which we believe qualifies as criminal, akin to reckless endangerment and/or assault with a deadly weapon), I experienced the first of a series of Delayed Adverse Events five months later (19SEP2022) and have been suffering from diagnosed FQAD (Fluoroquinolone-Associated Disability) ever since. Said disability is a constellation of multiple disorders, injuries and conditions which in my case include, but are not limited to, mast cell activation, tendon and muscle dysfunction, peripheral, central, autonomic and small fiber neuropathy (with deleterious cardiac effects), GABA dysfunction and vitreous detachment, as confirmed by diagnostic testing and stated in various medical reports.
• Each and every one of the aforementioned disorders, injuries and conditions has been and continues to be thoroughly and comprehensively described with extreme accuracy and specificity for the last 20 years in a) the laboratories' technical literature and endless package insert warnings; b) the same "medical-scientific" literature that Quirónsalud Barcelona's ER Chief Dr. Riesgo [indeed, in English: "Dr. Risk."] quoted as justification for the floxing; and c) the endless list of maximum severity warnings issued by both US and EU regulatory agencies, including an FDA "Black Box Warning," which is the final warning issued before a medication is taken off the market. All of the latter bearing in mind that my refusal to taking antibiotics is clearly stated in the first ER report.
• We ask the reader to review the reports herein included. We repeat: Ms Garabetyán administered ONE OF THE MOST TOXIC & DEADLY FLUOROQUINOLONES (LEVAQUIN) WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, for a mere suspicion of pneumonia without any confirmation whatsoever (an act we believe the circumstantial evidence proves was motivated by spite), and with complete and wanton disregard for not only a) the extremely lengthy list of the most serious warnings; but also b) the sole reasons for which Cardiology rushed me to the ER Dept, and which are listed in the Cardiology report: flutter, pulmonary edema and dilated cardiomyopathy.
• The circumstantial evidence suggesting malice includes the fact that Garabetyán wasted an enormous amount of time, considering the gravity of my heart condition. Five hours elapsed from my arrival at the ER to my transfer to floor. She mentioned that I'd have to be transferred to another hospital because there were no telemetry beds. This was a bald-faced lie, because a Patient Services Agent subsequently appeared and stated the opposite: they indeed did have telemetry beds. The latter and many other related facts (attitude, not informing me of the Levaquin nor stating it on her report) have led me to form the deeply firm and informed conviction that the administration of the Levaquin without my knowledge was executed solely as retaliation motivated by the hubris, bitter rancor and spite of a seriously bruised and insecure ego, who would not tolerate a) any challenges to her unsupported and completely mistaken "diagnoses" (bronchitis, pneumonia, COPD); and b) any refusals to taking antibiotics, using subterfuge to force the administration of Levaquin (a chemotherapy agent masquerading and marketed as an antibiotic) without the patient's knowledge and against his stated will.
06ABR2022/C - ER - 2nd VISIT - DR. SOFÍA INÉS GARABETYÁN (#61044)
• Critical Note: During the five hours I spent in the ER, at no time ever, not once, did Ms Garabetyán inform me, neither in writing nor verbally, as to what her diagnoses had been and what drugs I was being administered. Nor did she so do to my partner, who was present at the scene, and with whom she sustained no conversation whatsoever. I was left totally and completely deprived of any and all information. Nor was I given any report upon my discharge from the ER and transfer to my room. I was fully conscious, competent and aware. I didn’t expect to be poisoned and forgot to ask, which is not exculpatory. It is the physician’s duty to inform the patient.
PROOF OF THE POISONING - FIRST DOSE IN ER - 06APR2022 15:44
06-14APR2022 - HOSPITALIZATION ROOM - THREE CARDIOLOGISTS
• Once admitted, not ONE of the cardiologists that saw and treated me, to wit, IGNASI DURÁN ROBERT (#30020), LAURA GALIÁN GAY (#43060) and DIEGO GOLDWASSER (#43180), immediately stopped the administration of Levofloxacin, which in my opinion was their ethical duty in light of patient age, the drug's cardiac and aortic risks and the total absence of any irrefutable indication of pneumonia.

DEFENDANT #2 AND ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT OF THE ALLEGED CRIME

PURE EVIL
• Dr. Durán, the first cardiologist to appear and start treatment for the heart condition, was obviously well aware of the drugs I was being administered by order of Dr. Garabetyán (Furosemide, Ventolin, Ipratropium bromide, Enoxaparin and the dreaded Levaquin). Because it is extremely interesting to note that he discontinued the Ventolin (a beta-2 adrenergic agonist), as he obviously knew that combining it with Levaquin could augment the latter's serious cardiac risks. He therefore was completely aware of the fact that I was being administered Levaquin, and instead of immediately discontinuing that extremely toxic and dangerous drug, he deliberately and maliciously ignored the many and severe risks the drug entailed for a 60-year-old person with a heart condition, and made a conscious, wanton, willful and criminal decision to poison me and further endanger my life.
Treatment Order Records For Apr 7 & 8
• The above, coupled with the fact that at no time ever, during my eight day hospital stay, was the subject of pneumonia and COPD ever mentioned or discussed, nor did they ever come up. Again, it is impossible to understand how he discontinued the Ventolin, but not the Levaquin! He irresponsibly continued the FQ poisoning, when the cardiac warnings for the latter are extremely and astronomically serious and extensive. Even more so, when he himself notes on the treatment order that I was "oligosymptomatic." Considering that was my FIRST DAY of hospitalization, and that I was supposedly suffering from a HISTORIC BLOOD-CURDLING "PNEUMONIA" THAT REQUIRED CHEMOTHERAPY (THAT'S WHAT FQs ARE), you’d think there would be a written record of a bit beefier symptoms than "oligo." All of the latter, together with the fact that OVER THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF ALL THE TREATMENT ORDERS THERE IS NOT ONE MENTION OF PNEUMONIA NOR INFECTION, NOT ONE, NOR IS THERE ONE OF COPD, NOT ONE, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, LEADS ME TO THE DEEPEST AND INDELIBLE CONVICTION THAT DR. DURÁN PROCEED WITH THE FQ POISONING WITH THE INTENT TO CAUSE HARM AND/OR KILL ME, OR AT MINIMUM KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IF EITHER OF THOSE TWO OCCURRED HE WOULD ATTRIBUTE IT TO MY HEART CONDITION. All this in order not to contradict the erroneous diagnosis of the incompetent and vindictive rookie Dr. Garabetyán.
• Given his "27 years of experience," it is impossible for Dr. Durán to have been unaware of the INSANE RISKS he was exposing me to by allowing the Levofloxacin poisoning to proceed. The 100% bogus Community-Acquired Pneumonia and COPD, however, were listed on the discharge report, likely since a) no doctor will ever contradict or refute another doctor's diagnosis; b) it was Dr. Garabetyán who would be liable if the Levaquin killed me, not the cardiologists (but only symbolically; it is a fact that doctors in Spain can kill people freely with zero accountability; c) they played along with the bogus diagnoses to provide cover for their colleague, Dr. Garabetyán; and d) due to the fact that once a diagnosis is entered into the system, it is virtually impossible to get it deleted. No doctor nor hospital will ever admit to an erroneous diagnosis.
• Another very telling fact is that the name of the drug, Levofloxacin, is only stated ONCE throughout all of the medical reports that are provided to the patient. And the ONLY doctor that disclosed the name of the drug at issue in writing was Goldwasser, who mentioned it once in his hospitalization discharge report dated 14APR2022, eight days after the first dose on 06APR2022! The prescribing doctor, however and as we know, was not him, but rather ER Dr. Garabetyán. Why was the Levofloxacin mentioned solely in the attending cardiologist's discharge report and not in the ER discharge report? Again, why did the prescribing ER physician, Dr. Garabetyán, NOT state the name of this deadly chemotherapy drug in her ER report dated 06APR2022? This is a most suspicious and central point to our case, as it clearly proves a deliberate attempt to hide critical information from the patient, to wit, the name of the deadly chemo drug that Dr. Garabetyán chose to administer out of sheer spite, with what we believe is clear criminal intent to cause harm.
• The extremely serious and abundant warnings on Levaquin have been constantly communicated to doctors by the FDA, EMA and country regulatory agencies, and have been on the package inserts for nearly 20 years. "Not knowing" is no justification. Taking into account her animosity for my having dismissed her diagnosis on the first visit, no reasonable person would believe that Garabetyán omitted the name of this lethally toxic drug from the ER report due to ignorance, carelessness and/or neglect. It is the physician's responsibility to be aware of the potential dangers of a drug, and the fact that Dr. Garabetyán merely stated "IV antibiotics" but DELIBERATELY FAILED TO STATE "LEVOFLOXACIN," while stating the names of the other drugs she prescribed, to wit, furosemide and nitroglycerine, is once again a glaringly suspicious and crucial fact that clearly stands as circumstantial evidence suggesting concealment of the weapon used with criminal intent to cause harm.
• Furthermore, Dr. JAVIER VIÑOLAS PRAT (29676), as the Chief and Head of Cardiology, should have had established procedures this type of situation, which likely is not rare. By "situation," we're referring to the epidemic practice of administering a fluoroquinolone for a mere sneeze or runny nose.
• The aforementioned "Community-Acquired Pneumonia" was diagnosed superficially, without a single piece of overwhelming proof that any reasonable person would deem to be required for the administration of such an astronomically toxic chemotherapy drug (topoisomerase II inhibitor) as Levaquin. The administration of not only a fluoroquinolone, a drug class for which there is a virtually endless list of the most extreme warnings by all regulatory agencies, but the most toxic one of the class: Levofloxacin (twice as toxic as Cipro, see The Flox Report pg. 27).
• A so-called "Community-Acquired Pneumonia" that Garabetyán barely and pathetically attempts to justify on basis of slightly elevated neutrophils and leukocytes, a high CRP and an x-ray where aside from the clear pulmonary edema, and according to various physicians, the pneumonia interpretation is “suspect,” “doubtful,” and “lends itself to confusion.” A pneumonia with no bacterial culture, negative urine, that she barely attempts to justify with auscultation, when the ER report clearly states that the patient was afebrile. A patient who furthermore did not present with sputum of any type or color, nor chills or shivers, nor vomiting, myalgia, nor cough nor any other symptom typically associated with an "infection” (facts that, if they had been present, would have been reflected in the report, but regarding which, at any rate, the Complainant is willing to testify under oath, there also being an eye witness). (The “productive cough” statement in the report is a blatant lie.) It is my well-grounded and highly informed opinion that at no time was there never any pneumonia. Complainant is steadfastly and wholeheartedly confident in being able to state the latter because, as proven in Section 1.20 below, there was never any COPD. One grossly erroneous diagnosis warrants doubts about them all. Lastly, we reiterate that, even in the event of a correctly and compellingly diagnosed pneumonia, guaranteed with total reliability, Levofloxacin would STILL BE CONTRAINDICATED IN MY CASE. There were other options, such as amoxicillin, azithromycin and clarithromycin.
• Therefore, and after a clear demonstration that there was no compelling, reliable and high-certainty proof that I indeed had pneumonia, that fact that thus becomes evident is that, in the best of cases, and temporarily extending Garabetyán the benefit of the doubt as to mens rea, what there was, was a mere and barely tenable suspicion of pneumonia. As a result, she administered the chemotherapeutic antibiotic with highest level of toxicity and risks for a mere suspicion of pneumonia, to a 60-year-old patient who had a serious heart condition. Once again, it is impossible not to suspect criminal intent to cause harm. No reasonable person would qualify this act as a mere blunder.
• As evidenced by a review of the clinical history, at no time was the initial treatment of the "suspicion" attempted with another non-fluoroquinolone antibiotic, something which in my highly informed opinion, not only should have been done, but rather, if it had been done, you likely would not be reading this account. It was the bare minimum that I (the patient and human being, who's still alive by the grace of God) deserved, if in fact that bit about Primum non nocere is actually supposed to be serious and not some kind of ironic joke. Because, in my case, the indelible impression I'm left with is that the very first thing they wanted to do is to cause as much harm as possible. What follows is an X-ray taken about 48 hours after admission. I contend that it was the IV diuretics that cleared the edema. Why, I’m sure to go down in medical history! The first case of a killer, blood-curdling, gut-wrenching monster pneumonia that’s gone in less than 24 hours? If we’re to believe the ER doctor, on the evening of 06APR I had a deadly pneumonia, which was gone by 1:34 pm the next day, when I was “oligosymptomatic” and no mention of any pneumonia nor treatment therefor is made! (See treatment order notes 07APR2022 above.) Come on!
09-10APR2022 - HOSPITAL ROOM - DR. LAURA GALIÁN GAY (#43060)
• As opposed to Drs. Durán and Goldwasser, I did not perceive malicious intent from Dr. Galián. In her case, my instincts tell me she had no clue as to the administration of Levaquin, and if she did, she was clueless about its deadly toxicity. Given that she was the second cardiologist to see me, and was merely covering for Dr. Durán, who was on vacation, it is quite possible for her to have been oblivious about the Levaquin. Once again, please notice that in the Treatment Order Records there is ZERO mention of Levaquin nor Community-Acquired Pneumonia nor COPD nor any symptom or any other factor related to an “infection.” In fact, she states that I’m stable, have no complaints, no dyspnea at rest (didn’t have any either when walking around). ONCE THE GOT THE FLUIDS OUT OF MY LUNGS I WAS FINE, I COULD BREATH. THERE WAS NO DAMN INFECTION!

A VERITABLE MONSTER
• If my words seem harsh, Dear Reader, all I ask is that you extend the courtesy of giving me the benefit of the doubt, and save judgment until a full and final read. Then, you may judge my words and I as you deem fit; whether in fact they were excessive or warranted given the events related herein, and whether I have gone too far, or am entitled to be outraged. Further below (08NOV2022), you will surely understand, even if not justify, my use of vitriolic pejoratives.
• Now then, here’s where the plot thickens, and I beg your attention. Goldwasser was the last physician to see me during the hospitalization. He performed a successful cardioversion, for which I had to sign an informed consent. It is unbelievable that I was not asked to sign one for the Levaquin, given that it qualifies as a chemotherapy agent and has been unsuccessfully used in cancer treatment. (Fluoroquinolones are a class of drug called "topoisomerase interrupters ." Every drug in this class is directly labeled as a chemotherapy drug except fluoroquinolones.) Once again, please notice that in the Treatment Order Records there is ZERO mention of Levaquin nor Community-Acquired Pneumonia nor COPD nor any symptom or any other factor related to an “infection.” In fact, please note THAT EVERYTHING ON THE RECORD REFERS SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY TO CARDIOLOGICAL MATTERS. Again, there is zero commentary about symptoms of infection, pneumonias, COPD. Nothing!
Treatment Order Records For Apr 11 thru 13
14APR2022 - HOSPITAL DISCHARGE - DR. DIEGO GOLDWASSER (#43180)
(Refer to the Hospitalization Discharge Report dated 14APR2022 12:28.)
• Goldwasser was the only physician to ever mention the drug, once, throughout the entire series of reports that are provided or available to the patient. Nevertheless, like Garabetyán (who didn’t even disclose the drug name), he deliberately failed to inform the patient about the lengthy list of extremely serious adverse events that could occur. This is a critical factor that ties into the event of 08NOV2022.
• As an aside, we highlight the potentially deadly interactions of some of the drugs Goldwasser prescribed, as a circumstantial indication of his penchant for playing Russian roulette with his patients’ lives. Click HERE.
PART TWO
COMPLAINANT’S EVIDENCE AND ARGUMENTS
TO ALLEGE CRIMINAL CONDUCT IN HIS CASE
AND IN FLOXING IN GENERAL
CENTRAL FACTS OF THE CASE
1) A sixty-year old patient.
2) With known QT-prolongation.
3) With heart failure.
• These were facts were MANIFEST at the time when the Levofloxacin was prescribed. Therefore, and in light of the warnings stated below, the administration of a fluoroquinolone in the presence of these facts constitutes a prima facie case of, at minimum, negligence. Again, our conviction is that this case involved malicious intent to do harm.
REGULATORY AGENCY AND MANUFACTURER WARNINGS
• Garabetyán administered this galactically toxic drug, which has destroyed my life and permanently crippled and killed endless innocent victims, without obtaining my consent after informing me of the following risks:

GENERAL MANUFACTURER WARNING
SPECIFIC MANUFACTURER WARNINGS RELEVANT
TO MY CONDITION UPON MY ARRIVAL AT ER
Just a reminder:
In case it’s not clear on the EKG:
5.11 Prolongation of the QT Interval
Some fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin, have been associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram and infrequent cases of arrhythmia. Rare cases of torsade de pointes have been spontaneously reported during postmarketing surveillance in patients receiving fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin should be avoided in patients with known prolongation of the QT interval, patients with uncorrected hypokalemia, and patients receiving Class IA (quinidine, procainamide), or Class III (amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to drug-associated effects on the QT interval [see Adverse Reactions (6.3), Use in Specific Populations (8.5), and Patient Counseling Information (17)].
5.9 Risk of Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection
Epidemiologic studies report an increased rate of aortic aneurysm or dissection within two months following use of fluoroquinolones, particularly in elderly patients. The cause for the increased risk has not been identified. In patients with a known aortic aneurysm or patients who are at greater risk for aortic aneurysms, reserve levofloxacin for use only when there are no alternative antibacterial treatments available.
• I beg your pardon, but in light of Sections 5.11 and 5.9 above, you have to be a sadistic, sinister executioner and devil's henchman to administer this drug to a heart failure patient with an EKG showing arrhythmia (flutter at 150 bpm) and known QT-prolongation, WITHOUT AT LEAST FIRST INFORMING HIM OF THE RISKS AND OBTAINING HIS CONSENT. In fact, the warning CLEARLY STATES “Levofloxacin should be avoided in patients with known prolongation of the QT interval.” Insane. A drug that entails risks of aortic tears and/or ruptures! In a heart patient! And what's even more deranged, for a fabricated pneumonia! I mean, you read it and can't help but think that the idea was to kill me without making it too obvious and with something to sort of cover it up.
Fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin, have been associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions from different body systems that can occur together in the same patient. Commonly seen adverse reactions include tendinitis, tendon rupture, arthralgia, myalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and central nervous system effects (hallucinations, anxiety, depression, insomnia, severe headaches, and confusion). These reactions can occur within hours to weeks after starting Levofloxacin. Patients of any age or without pre-existing risk factors have experienced these adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2, 5.3, 5.4)].
Discontinue levofloxacin immediately at the first signs or symptoms of any serious adverse reaction. In addition, avoid the use of fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin, in patients who have experienced any of these serious adverse reactions associated with fluoroquinolones.
Fluoroquinolones, including levofloxacin, have been associated with an increased risk of peripheral neuropathy. Cases of sensory or sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy affecting small and/or large axons resulting in paresthesias, hypoesthesias, dysesthesias and weakness have been reported in patients receiving fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin. Symptoms may occur soon after initiation of Levofloxacin and may be irreversible in some patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1, 6.2)].
Discontinue Levofloxacin immediately if the patient experiences symptoms of neuropathy including pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness or other alterations of sensation including light touch, pain, temperature, position sense, and vibratory sensation. Avoid fluoroquinolones, including Levofloxacin, in patients who have previously experienced peripheral neuropathy [see Adverse Reactions (6), Patient Counseling Information (17)].
5.2 Tendinitis and Tendon Rupture
Fluoroquinolones, including levofloxacin, have been associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. This adverse reaction most frequently involves the Achilles tendon and has also been reported with the rotator cuff (the shoulder), the hand, the biceps, the thumb, and other tendon sites. Tendinitis or tendon rupture can occur within hours or days of starting Levofloxacin or as long as several months after completion of fluoroquinolone therapy. Tendinitis and tendon rupture can occur bilaterally.
The risk of developing fluoroquinolone-associated tendinitis and tendon rupture is increased in patients over 60 years of age, in those taking corticosteroid drugs, and in patients with kidney, heart or lung transplants. Other factors that may independently increase the risk of tendon rupture include strenuous physical activity, renal failure, and previous tendon disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. Tendinitis and tendon rupture have been reported in patients taking fluoroquinolones who do not have the above risk factors. Discontinue levofloxacin immediately if the patient experiences pain, swelling, inflammation or rupture of a tendon. Patients should be advised to rest at the first sign of tendinitis or tendon rupture, and to contact their healthcare provider regarding changing to a non-quinolone antimicrobial drug. Avoid Levofloxacin in patients who have a history of tendon disorders or tendon rupture [see Adverse Reactions (6.3); Patient Counseling Information (17)].
Patient Counseling Information (17)
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide).
Serious Adverse Reactions
Advise patients to stop taking levofloxacin if they experience an adverse reaction and to call their healthcare provider for advice on completing the full course of treatment with another antibacterial drug.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT IF THEY MAINLINE IT WITHOUT TELLING ME, AND I HAVE A DELAYED ADVERSE EVENT? HOW!

EMA
For more EMA warnings:
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/search?search_api_fulltext=Fluoroquinolones
• Do YOU believe that in my case there was a "CAREFUL ASSESSMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND RISKS"? In a patient with heart failure (LVEF 35%) and a flutter at 150?
• I repeat: it seems that either a) it was all done deliberately, which truly seems to be the case; or b) doctors don't give a flying crap about absolutely anything, and/or are unaware of the warnings (20 years of blaring FQ warnings still isn't enough time to get the memo), and/or nothing makes any difference to them, they don't care one way or the other, after all, not one of them will be held accountable for a damn thing, not even provide explanations. Another case of "we did all we could, it's the patient's fault if his aorta tore asunder after suffering peripheral neuropathy, retinal detachment and five tendon ruptures."
• Adding insult to injury is the one-page reply with material errors from ER Chief "Dra. Riesgo" (in English: "Dr. Risk" - with a last name like that I can only believe it was all one big prank to have a horse laugh at my expense). The one-pager merely states the equivalent of "you were diagnosed with pneumonia and the scientific-medical literature says Levofloxacin is great for that, so don’t let the door hit you on the way out and see you wouldn't want to be you." Makes no difference that a) said diagnoses is unsustainable and groundless no matter which way you look at it, and that the pneumonia at best is a mere suspicion held together with spit and bailing wire; and b) that said literature is also rife with papers the prove the severe toxicity of fluoroquinolones (chemotherapy agents), which causes oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, reactive oxygen species, musculoskeletal damage, collagen disorder, neurotoxicity, neuropsychiatric adverse effects and much more (see Facts 1.10 and 1.11 below).
• But none of the above matters. What's important is to use a nuclear bomb to kill bacteria that we don't even know are there, and if so, if they’re actually causing morbidity. All this while the flutter keeps thumping at 150.
• AEMPS (Spanish Medicines and Medical Products Agency)

QUOTES
In patients treated with quinolones and fluoroquinolones, there have been reports of cases of sensory or sensorimotor polyneuropathy that led to paresthesia, hypoesthesia, dysesthesia or weakness. PATIENTS ON LEVOFLOXACIN TREATMENT MUST BE INSTRUCTED TO INFORM THEIR PHYSICIAN BEFORE CONTINUING THE TREATMENT IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF NEUROPATHY, such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness or weakness, to prevent the development of a potentially irreversible condition.
• That bit about "informing their physician before continuing treatment" comes off real nice and "responsible" if you're "lucky" enough to be told what they're sticking in your IV, and have an immediate reaction. But it’s absolutely useless and zero consolation for the less fortunate such as the Complainant, who at the time of administration are not informed nor asked for consent, and who end up experiencing DELAYED ADVERSE EVENTS, the first symptom thereof in my case occurring five months after administration. Because at that point, the bit about "preventing the development of a potentially irreversible condition," amounts to coming in "five months late and a billion dollars short."
An eye doctor must be immediately consulted if vision becomes impaired or any other effect in the eyes is experienced (see sections 4.7 and 4.8)
• Again, when a vitreous detachment (floater) appears 10 months after the first FQT symptom and you still don't know you've been floxed, well: Five months late and a billion dollars short!
Drugs capable of prolonging the QT-interval
Levofloxacin, as well as other fluoroquinolones, must be used with caution in patients who are taking other medications that prolong the QT-interval (e.g., Class IA and III antiarrhythmics, tricyclic antidepressants, macrolides, antipsychotics) (see section 4.4 QT-interval prolongation).
• Although Bisoprolol is a class II, given my condition, there was absolutely zero justification for Levaquin administration (you know, that thing about "doing no harm"). On the other hand, who knows if I'd unwittingly been enrolled in a Torsades de Pointes clinical trial, see if I could take that too.
• On 05NOV2015, at the Joint Meeting of the Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee, the FDA coined the term Fluoroquinolone-Associated Disability (FQAD). (http://www.kaisergornick.com/documents/FQAD.pdf)
• No physician reading this can deny that, for the FDA to have gone to such lengths, untold numbers of people have to have suffered and died. We're all aware of the countless years that can elapse, and the myriad patients that must end up disabled or dead, for a regulatory agency to take serious measures (thalidomide victims in some countries are still waiting). We're also aware of how hard it is, in fact, nearly impossible, for a drug to be taken off the market. Note the case of Michael Kaferly, who was permanently crippled with Levaquin, and who waged a heroic eight-year battle with the regulatory authorities. The FDA should have honored him and the countless victims like him by taking the drug off the market. But no, all they saw fit to do was to issue a Black Box Warning, which doctors have wantonly been ignoring to this day, as they blithely continue to kill, cripple and injure their patients, whom they then dismiss, ghost and gaslight.
• Complainant states that he has reports that prove he meets the conditions for FQAD. The fact is that I just don’t know what has to happen for measures to be taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p1418 (Coroner asks drug regulator to review advice about Ciprofloxacin after doctor's death).
• Given the medical community's widespread ignorance about FQAD and the therapeutic vacuum, and as a result of the countless FQAD patients that reach out to him for help, Dr. Stefan Pieper wrote a book to guide other physicians, entitled Fluoroquinolone-Associated Disability (FQAD) - Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, Therapy and Diagnostic Criteria: Side-effects of Fluoroquinolones.
• In said book, he provides an overview of the etiological mechanisms of the serious disorders encompassed under FQAD:
OXIDATIVE STRESS / MITOCHONDRIAL TOXICITY
MUSCULOSKELETAL DAMAGE / COLLAGEN DISORDER
NEUROTOXICITY / PERIPHERAL, AUTONOMIC AND SMALL FIBRE NEUROPATHY
NEUROPSYCHIATRIC ADVERSE EFFECTS
• According to comments by several doctors, the administration of fluoroquinolones for mere suspicion is quite common. That does not mean, however, that it is ethical, nor that it entails the least risk for the patient, nor that it was the best indication in my case. Totally to the contrary. In fact, it might very well explain the gut-wrenching plea of hundreds of thousands of egregiously injured people from all over the world who desperately tell their stories and seek help on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and every other single possible medium. It might very well also explain their blood-curdling horror and abject disbelief toward the depraved, sadistic monsters in labcoats who to this day persist in committing this heinous medical rape that so nourishes their lust to cause human suffering. What other explanation can there be after 40 years of FQ deaths and injuries?
• The “other explanation” is obvious and as old as humankind itself: MONEY! Indeed, the nonchalance with which fluoroquinolones are doled out clearly proves the deep-rooted criminality, corruption (https://www.federalcharges.com/news/2016-04-25-former-fda-commissioner-named-in-massive-conspiracy-and-rackeetering-lawsuit/) and, not only total disregard for human life and suffering, but also doctors' sadistic penchant for killing and crippling (all they need is a diagnosis that justifies the means). The latter was always well-established for Big Pharma (remember Thalidomide?), although its interests lie more in the area of generating chronic disorders in hitherto healthy patients. But the blame of the phenomena known as "floxing" rests squarely on the shoulders of those who in theory have taken an oath "to do no harm." Allopathic doctors who know not how to heal, only to cut, burn and/or poison. Pharma can put cyanide on the market. But it is the physician who ultimately loads the gun and tells the patient to put it to his temple and pull the trigger. In my case, I wasn't even afforded that luxury (I would have run for my life). I wasn't informed about the Levaquin. They slipped it in my IV without saying a peep. I was shot in the back.
• Again, follow the MONEY. The following information might shed some light on why, after 40 years of serious AEs (including death) and 20 of blood-chilling regulatory warnings, the FQs are not only still on the market, but also routinely handed out like candy for runny noses (see Bobby Caldwell). There’s obviously a lot of money to be made in “treatments” for FQAD patients.

PART THREE
CHRONOLOGICAL NARRATIVE OF DELAYED ADVERSE EVENTS, THE VARIOUS SYMPTOMS OF POISONING,
AND THE GRADUAL TRANSITION INTO THE CHRONICALLY DISEASED STATE KNOWN AS FQAD
19SEP2022 - FIRST SYMPTOM OF POISONING (THE “BOMB”)
• Calmly sitting at my desk with the computers, zero effort. Suddenly, a massive sharp blast hits me in the heart, with L/R lateral stabs. (Many FQAD victims will recognize that as the "bomb" that went off in their bodies.) As if the heart exploded, shooting daggers left and right. This was the trigger of all the disorders I have been suffering with to this day. I first thought it was due to the ablation I'd had on June 3, but no (some time later I did start to suspect poisoning and/or an ADR, but floxing never crossed my mind).
SEP-DIC2022 (AROUND 45-60 DAYS): SECOND SYMPTOM OF POISONING
• Within a few days to maybe a week after the “heart blast,” the second poisoning symptom appeared. A very strange one which all doctors would dismiss and/or be incapable of diagnosing: violent spasms, waves, pulsing, stabbing, throbbing, twitching, tingling, writhing, which I first thought were vascular (since I’d had an ablation). I later found out they were neurological spasms, as I lay writhing like an insect hit with pesticide. With the locus centered on the right supraclavicular fossa, the horrid, ferocious spasms would shoot down the upper right thoracic quadrant. In other words, from the pectoralis up to and including the collarbone, and from the sternoclavicular joint to the acromioclavicular. The electrical spasms would shoot out from the right supraclavicular fossa right up the neck and down the collarbone and arm. Less frequently, the spasms would also shoot down the right leg straight to the ankle.
• This was also accompanied by stabbing sensations in various blood vessels and pulse points: carotid, subclavian, brachial, cubital, femoral and posterior tibial. The bouts were sporadic, at random, from time to time, lasting say 10-60 minutes, but every day for about 45 to 60 days. Always on the right side. Particularly at night. Future doctors would dismiss the symptoms as "too vague," brush them off as a contraction, and so on. Note: At the time, since I'd had a heart issue and subsequent ablation, I erroneously I perceived these spasms as vascular. But I soon understood that they were neurological, especially after finding out I'd been floxed.
• I also experienced terrifying, savage electrical spasms though my brain, across my skull, and in my right eye. The back of the right eye featured a massive pressure pushing outward, accompanied by extreme pain. It felt like my eye would literally pop out of the socket, followed by a gush of brain, blood and what have you. Six months later, a floater would appear in this eye. I experienced this symptom on a daily basis for about two months. I’d walk in ineffable terror as the spasms raged, expecting to have run to the ER at any moment, as I thought a stroke, aneurysm, embolism or other type of CVA was imminent, particularly with the massive pressure behind the eye. But, of course, it never happened. I went to the ER some 15 times for this and other symptoms, to no avail. Of course nothing would show up on the tests, I'd been POISONED. The ONLY thing that did show up more than once was: "reactive lymph nodes." Amazing that not one doctor was able to give me a clear explanation of precisely what that means. At any rate, since the lymphatic system helps rid the body of toxins, it's really not rocket science.
08NOV2022 - CARDIOLOGY HALLWAY - DR. GOLDWASSER
• I hope I still have your attention, because now the plot certainly thickens. I catch Goldwasser in the hallway and, broken, scared and baffled about what the heck was going on in my body, I tell him that for over a month I'd been having major and painful stabbing sensations along the clavicle, brachial, carotid, and so on. That nobody had a clue what was going on. Standing about six to eight feet away, he tells me, with total confidence and rock solid conviction, without even examining or exploring the area, that the issue was NOT cardiological, that it was NEUROLOGICAL, and that I needed to go to neurology.
• Crucial contention: I'm 100% positive that he knew EXACTLY why what I described was neurological. How was he able to tell me right off the bat, from afar, with so much certainty, resolve and conviction that it was "neurological"?
• Well, based on the fact that it was Goldwasser who stated the name of the drug in his discharge report dated 14APR2022, and not Garabetyán in her ER report dated 06APR2022 (a very suspicious fact), and by applying Occam's razor, we can infer with absolute certainty that Goldwasser was well aware of the drug's administration, of exactly what had been done to me, of Levofloxacin's extreme toxicity, risks and warnings and, without one iota of surprise on his part, he immediately realized that I had started to present with neurological adverse events, telling me with enormous cold blood solely the type of disorder, but no time the etiology, even though he was perfectly aware of the latter.
• At the time of this encounter, only 50 days had elapsed since the first toxic reaction on 19SEP2022. lf Goldwasser had told me that my symptoms were due to the Levofloxacin, I could have immediately begun researching and warded off some of the damage with early action. But no. This disgusting murdering monster chose to withhold that information, brush me off to neurology and let the damage continue. From the day of this encounter to 05AUG2022, the day I discovered this was all due to Levofloxacin, 270 days elapsed. Two hundred and seventy days of relentless, anguished, desperate research that I could have been spared, if this piece of trash, sick sadist by the name of Goldwasser had only confided to me that my symptoms were being caused by the Levaquin. He wasn't the prescribing physician, so it shouldn't have made any difference to him. In my opinion, what he did during this encounter is truly an act of a certified criminal sadist psychopath. A twisted, warped, vile creature who revels in and feeds upon human suffering.
• As if that weren't enough, this repugnant piece of trash couldn't resist laughing at my suffering. Just imagine how you would feel, right after being brushed off to neurology with a sneer, when this so-called "doctor" proceeds to crack the following joke with that emblematically Argentinian disdain and arrogance:
"It's like that joke, huh? It's like that old joke, you know the one I'm talking about, right? Where the guy goes to the doctor, and says, 'Doctor, doctor, I touch myself here and it hurts! And I touch myself here, and it hurts too! And I touch myself here, and it also hurts! What could it be, doctorrrr?' - 'Well, of course,' says the doctor, 'you got a broken fingerrrr!'
• This dark soulless creature then closed by saying, in the most fake tone of phoney empathy you've ever heard, "But it's a good thing that you keep come back..." There's medical attention in Spain for you. Spain is different. They can poison you behind your back with a chemotherapy drug and later sit down to relish a scrumptious paella and wine while cracking jokes about the patients they’ve crippled, because they know they can get away with it. You'll have absolutely zero recourse no matter what avenue you pursue. No lawyer, no government department, no regulatory agency will do jack shit about it. It's interesting to note that Thalidomide victims in Spain are still waiting for compensation.
NOV-DIC2022 - THIRD AND ENSUING SYMPTOMS
While Symptom Two continued, at the end of November, beginning of December, Symptom Three appeared on the right supraclavicular fossa (RSCF). A painful inflammation, lump, mass or whatever you want to call THIS:
28DIC2022 - QSB CARDIOLOGY- DR. GALIÁN
• I desperately show her the red, inflamed mass bulging out from the RSCF. She said she didn't know what that disorder could be due to, and brushed me off to Internal Medicine.
29DIC2022 - QSB CARDIOLOGY - DR. DURÁN - ECHOCARDIOGRAM
• I also desperately show him the red, inflamed mass bulging out from the RSCF. He glowered at me in anger, shook his head no in unison with a snarled "nah!" and brushed me off to Internal Medicine.
• Remark: it defies belief that neither of these two cardiologists that had seen me while admitted didn't even bother to review the clinical history to see if that flagrant and remarkable lump could be due to an adverse event.
• It’s obvious they knew very well what had happened and thus were passing the buck over to Internal Medicine. Maybe not Galián, but...
• Durán certainly knew. He was well aware of the drug list that was prescribed by Garabetyán in the ER, and chose to proceed with the poisoning.
• Goldwasser certainly knew. He’s the one that named the Levofloxacin in his Discharge Report.
OCT2022-JUL2023 - A WHOLE SLEW OF SYMPTOMS
I went to the ER around 15 times for these symptoms. I saw nearly 30 doctors of all specializations, and they performed a entire series of test, MRIs, CAT scans, FNAs, all negative. The ONLY noteworthy factor was "reactive lymph nodes." NOT ONE DOCTOR was able to diagnose something concrete. They speculated with edema, fat, contracture, muscular (go swim! [sic]), sarcoidosis, cancer and so on. This is all recorded in a most extensive medical history.
Absolutely disgusted over nine months of doctors and tests with no results, and believing that the disorders were due to the ablation I’d had on 04JUN2022, I filed a complaint with QSB Patient Services on 13JUL2022. But the ablation had nothing to do with it.
05AUG2023 - CAUSE FINALLY DISCOVERED 320 DAYS LATER: LEVOFLOXACIN
I review the reports for the umpteenth time and, finally, this time around, by sheer serendipity, a fluke, my eyes homed in on the one word that hitherto had failed to catch my attention: LEVOFLOXACIN. Indeed, August 5, 2023 was the date on which I discovered the etiology of the disorders (and what I believe, at minimum, constitutes an extremely serious medical negligence), when I catch the SOLE MENTION, in passing, on page four of the hospitalization discharge report dated 14APR2022, of... LEVOFLOXACIN.
PART FOUR
CLOSING ARGUMENTS
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury of Public Opinion, I will now present my closing arguments, after which I am confident that you will find the Defendants guilty of all charges.
• At age 60, and while presenting with an atrial flutter, known QT-prolongation and heart failure, Complainant was administered 750mg of levofloxacin qd for seven days by fresh-out-of-med-school Dr. Sofía Inés Garabetyán, for a completely fabricated Community-Acquired Pneumonia. A made-up diagnosis without a culture nor subsequent confirmation and without first administering other less toxic antibiotics.
• More seriously, the above was performed with direct criminal neglect of the physician’s duty to inform the patient of the risks of this deadly chemotherapeutic agent and obtain his consent.
• As pre-emptive refutation of Defendant’s potential argument , to wit, that a consent is signed for admission, I reply that there must be some limitation. More so when the patient is fully conscious and in their right mind. One would think that said consent does not grant carte blanche for chemotherapy, radiation, lobotomies, bypasses, amputations, genetic manipulation, euthanasia, electroshock, bloodletting, organ removals, experiments and so on. Nor would it grant consent to the administration of drugs with the toxicity profile of the fluoroquinolones (chemotherapy).
• Since September 19, 2022, as the direct, unquestionable and blatant result of having been secretly poisoned with a fluoroquinolone, an act which constitutes medical assault, I have been suffering from diverse toxin-induced injuries, damage, disorders and conditions, as specified under the term Fluoroquinolone-Associated Disability (FQAD/FQT), including mast cell activation, tendon and muscle dysfunction, peripheral, central, autonomic and small fiber neuropathy, GABA dysfunction, intracraneal hypotension, vitreous detachment (floater), rheumatoid arthritis and cardiac effects (due to defective nerve signaling). At this point, about 20 months since first symptom as of this writing, I can say that the damage is permanent.
• Complainant only became aware of the medical assault on 5AUG2023, upon reviewing all the reports for the umpteenth time, after ten months of outpatient consultation, 15 ER visits, an endless slew of useless tests, with all the physical and mental distress, anguish and torture all of the latter has entailed to date. This cannot be deemed solely a mere negligence. The lengthy list of facts, which nevertheless are not comprehensive, provide definite and compelling grounds to entertain allegations of crimes, at minimum, of gross negligence, and quite likely felony assault and battery, and even attempted medical murder.
• Levofloxacin (Levaquin) must never be administered as first line treatment. Period. It can only be administered in life or death cases as a last resort after every single other option has failed. And it may ONLY be administered once the patient has been FULLY informed and has CONSENTED to drug’s myriad severe risks, including DEATH and PERMANENT DISABLING INJURY.
• Levaquin is NOT to be administered for a "suspected" infection slapped together with spit and bailing wire. If my condition upon admission to the ER was one of life and death, then it was SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY DUE TO A HEART ISSUE. Not a "pneumonia" pulled out of a rabbit's hat.
• Furthermore, FQs in general must ONLY be administered for certain highly specific bacteria and infections, and ONLY...
• ...When each and every single other antibiotic has failed.
• Furthermore, it follows from the above criteria that FQs must only be administered after performing a culture and with a 100% certainty diagnosis, in conjunction with other typical symptoms of "infections" (cough, sputum, sweating, chills, myalgia, etc.).
• Aside from fabricated, concocted and contrived "pneumonias," the administration of Levofloxacin for 7 days to
► A sixty-year old patient presenting with
► Known QT-prolongation
► Atrial flutter
► Heart failure
was not only 1000% contraindicated, but rather, once again, reveals CRIMINAL INTENT TO CAUSE HARM.
• Levaquin is SO GALACTICALLY TOXIC that is carries an FDA BLACK BOX WARNING (the highest possible warning before withdrawing the drug from the market).
• Furthermore, we note that over the years many fluoroquinolones were taken off the market to due to their EXTREME DEADLINESS, to wit, lethal adverse events: Grepafloxacin & Sparfloxacin, (deadly cardiac events, QT-prolongation, heart arrhythmias); Temafloxacin (low blood sugar, kidney failure, and a certain rare form of anemia); Gatifloxacin (hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia with very serious and fatal results); Trovafloxacin (causes liver toxicity, no longer prescribed but not banned).
• Additionally, all regulatory agencies have been issuing ENDLESS WARNINGS for last 20 years about FLUOROQUINOLONES. But doctors, for some strange reason, still claim “they don’t know.”
• All the above leads us to the central question of our case: How on earth could this drug have been administered as first line treatment, brutally, with no qualms, full medieval! (An extremely serious violation, ipso facto.)
• How could there not have been a 100% confirmed diagnostic with a culture once admitted to the ward? Especially when the patient did not present with clear and convincing overt symptoms of any “infections.”
• How on earth wasn't a more benign antibiotic administered, even if not needed? As a matter of fact and even better, precisely because NO ANTIBIOTIC WAS NEEDED! Is that how Quirónsalud Barcelona operates? They just snatch any "interpretation" by a barely graduated ER doctor and run for it? They don't give a hoot about confirming and ensuring their diagnoses?
• The aforementioned medical assault could very well have killed me.
• The damage caused by said medical assault may very well cause my untimely death at some point in the future.
Based on the foregoing, we ask the jury to find the defendants guilty of all charges.
