1st Edition
by Erin Marie Olszewski (Author), J. B. Handley (Preface)
Undercover Epicenter Nurse blows the lid off the COVID-19 pandemic.
What would you do if you discovered that the media and the government
were lying to us all? And that hundreds, maybe thousands of people were
dying because of it?
Army combat veteran and registered nurse
Erin Olszewski’s most deeply held values were put to the test when she
arrived as a travel nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in the epicenter of the
COVID-19 pandemic. After serving in Iraq, she was back on the front
lines—and this time, she found, the situation was even worse.
Rooms were filthy, nurses were lax with sanitation measures, and
hospital-acquired cases of COVID-19 were spreading like wildfire.
Worse, people who had tested negative multiple times for COVID-19 were
being labeled as COVID-confirmed and put on COVID-only floors. Put on
ventilators and drugged up with sedatives, these patients quickly
deteriorated—even though they did not have coronavirus when they checked
in.
Doctors-in-training were refusing to perform CPR—and
banning nurses from doing it—on dying patients whose families had not
consented to “Do Not Resuscitate” orders.
Erin wasn’t about to
stand by and let her patients keep dying on her watch, but she knew
that if she told the truth, people wouldn’t believe her. It was just too
shocking. Willing to go to battle for her patients, Erin made the
decision to go deep undercover, recording conversations with other
nurses, videos of malpractice, and more. She began to share what she
found on social media. Unsurprisingly, she was fired for it.
Now, Erin is standing up to tell the whole horrifying story of what
happened inside Elmhurst Hospital to demand justice for those who fell
victim to the hospital’s greed. Not only must the staff be held
accountable for their unethical actions; but also, this kind of
corruption must be destroyed so that future Americans are not put at
risks. The deaths have to end, and Erin won’t rest until the bad actors
are exposed.
Undercover Epicenter Nurse: How Fraud, Negligence, and Greed Led to Unnecessary Deaths at Elmhurst Hospital is
a shocking and infuriating inside exposé of the American healthcare
system gone wrong. At the same time, it’s the story of a woman who
traveled from the small-town streets of Wisconsin, to the battlefields
of Iraq, to the mean streets of Queens, on a quest to help fight for her
country. With this book, the real battle has begun.
