A leaked Zoom conference reveals a doctor questioning how to increase the count of COVID-19 patient numbers on the hospitalโ€™s dashboard report.

The media outlet National File said it obtained the recording from an โ€œinternal sourceโ€ at the Novant Health System that includes New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina.

National File posted the video on its Twitter feed on Sept. 10.

National File and other local media outlets that reported on the leak identified the people in the video as Mary Kathryn Rudyk, a physician at the medical center, who is asking Carolyn Fisher, the hospitalโ€™s director of marketing, how to inflate the number of people classified as COVID-19 patients for the purpose of generating fear in the unvaccinated.

โ€œI think we have to be more blunt, we have to be more forcefulโ€”we have to say something coming outโ€”if you donโ€™t get vaccinated, you know you are going to die,โ€ Rudyk said in the video. โ€œLetโ€™s just be really blunt to these people.โ€

The video begins with Fisher explaining how her department is communicating โ€œmeaningful numbersโ€โ€”the percentage of the unvaccinated, vaccinated, and percentage of deaths in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)โ€”to the public.

Rudyk then asked how post-COVID cases can be included in the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19.

โ€œMy feeling at this point in time is that maybe we need to be completely a little bit more scary for the public,โ€ Rudyk said. โ€œThere are many people still hospitalized that weโ€™re considering post-COVID, but we are not counting in those numbers, so how do we include those post-COVID people in the numbers of patients we have in the hospital?โ€

Fisher asked if she meant every patient who has been in the hospital โ€œsince the beginning of COVID?โ€

Rudyk answered, โ€œWell, that are still in, and thatโ€™s something I can take to someone else, but I think those are important numbers: the patients that are still in the hospital, that are off the COVID floor, but still are occupying the hospital for a variety of reasons.โ€

Also on the Zoom conference call was Shelbourn Stevens, president of New Hanover Regional Medical Center, who said those patients are classified as โ€œrecovered.โ€

โ€œBut I do think, from our standpoint, we would still consider them a COVID patient because theyโ€™re still healing,โ€ Stevens said.

Rudyk said she thinks those patients need to be โ€œhighlighted as well, because once theyโ€™re off isolation, they drop from the COVID numbers,โ€ prompting Stevens to say that they can later talk offline about โ€œhow we can run that up to marketing.โ€
