He Beat Cancer—Then the Protocol Took Him: Brice Jordan’s Final Days
For 54 years, Brice Jordan was Patricia Jordan’s husband, partner, and the person beside her through every season of life. A longtime truck driver who had also farmed and logged, Brice was the kind of man who knew how to work with his hands. He loved fishing with Patricia and showing their restored 1964 Chevrolet pickup at car shows. He had battled chronic lymphocytic leukemia and cancer—and reached the joyful moment of ringing the bell after treatment. Patricia remembers that he was recovering and doing well.
Then, in August 2021, Brice became sick with COVID. He was first treated at Crestwood Medical Center in Huntsville and released after three days with an oxygen tank. After he collapsed at home, he was admitted to Marshall Medical Center North on August 24. Patricia was also severely ill and survived for three days using the oxygen tank he had brought home. Their daughter, Shannon, was admitted to the same hospital the following day.
Before Brice was admitted, Patricia expressly pleaded with hospital staff not to give him remdesivir and asked for ivermectin instead. She says the hospital refused ivermectin and administered a five-day course of remdesivir. She also recalls repeated pressure to agree to a do-not-resuscitate order. Brice was not placed on a ventilator, but his oxygen was repeatedly increased and he was eventually placed on comfort care.
Brice had dementia and Parkinsonian symptoms associated with his illness, and Patricia warned the nurses that he needed help eating. Yet when she was finally permitted to visit, she says she never saw anyone help feed him. She began bringing food and drinks each evening and stayed for hours to make certain he ate. To Patricia, he appeared largely alone in a room, watched through screens unless an alarm sounded. The advocate who knew his limitations and daily needs had been kept away during the most vulnerable part of his hospitalization.
Patricia gained access only after confronting hospital administrators. By then, Brice’s condition had declined. A doctor told her that staff had expected him to die the previous night. Patricia says Brice was receiving morphine during comfort care, and she remains deeply troubled by whether it hastened his death. On her final visit, his body was so swollen that fluid seeped from his pores. He kept telling her that he wanted to go home.
Patricia knew she was saying goodbye. She kissed the man she had loved for more than half a century and told him he would go home in the morning. Brice died in the hospital on September 6, 2021, while their daughter remained critically ill just around the corner on the same floor.
His death left Patricia not only grieving, but learning how to live alone after a lifetime of partnership. She lost the companionship of their morning fishing trips, their car shows, and the dependable presence around which her life had been built. She still fishes and still shows the old Chevy, but now she does it without him. She also faced the financial reality of trying to maintain a life once supported by two people on only one income.
Patricia sought answers. She obtained extensive medical records for Brice and Shannon, contacted government programs and a congressman, and searched for an attorney. She says no lawyer would take the case while there was still time to file, and her efforts to report what happened went nowhere. She believes Brice was failed by a rigid protocol that replaced individualized care with remdesivir, denied the treatment she requested, separated him from his advocate, neglected his need for feeding assistance, pressed the family for a DNR, and moved him to comfort care rather than recovery-focused treatment.
Brice was not a statistic. He was a husband, father, fisherman, trucker, mechanic, cancer survivor, and Patricia’s “one and only.” His life mattered. What happened to him—and to so many families reporting the same patterns—demands recognition, reform, and accountability. Institutional practices that strip vulnerable patients of advocacy, informed choice, and individualized care cause profound human harm. Patricia tells Brice’s story because silence will never bring justice.
