I am an RN with 45 yrs experience. Healthcare in the US has fallen in quality beyond belief. Avoid surgery at all costs. Never, never leave a loved one alone in a US hospital! Healthcare is a transactional business now run by bankers and accountants.

[@elegantlywasted5447]

25 years here . Agree with you but also ppl need to take care of themselves to avoid surgery or avoid dying during surgery. My average patient for any surgery is over 250lbs, smokes & has untreated diabetes. But it’s our fault if they have an airway issue or excessive bleeding etc

[@ES-mc3cc]

I believe you after the experience I had in a local hospital for a gallbladder removal. It's easy to see that it's all about enhancing the amount they charge Medicare and your insurance company. Patient care comes in as a second or third priority.

[@user-rj9kj3on1x]

And yet they fired key medical personnel who avoided an experimental jab. As if they weren't already shorthanded enough.

[@annbell8748]

That’s why I chose Ozempic and not surgery. You just never know. And after watching what happened to my Mother in a nursing home and the thugs that church hired to work with the elderly. It was just horrifying. Two days on it and I feel relaxed and rejuvenated already.

I wish I could have done, but in the UK England, they have visiting hours and shut the wards down. I know my mum had a bad experience in hospital as I gave her a mobile phone to call me. They took it off her so she couldn't tell me what was going on. She never got out alive. 😢

This is a good wake up call for those who blindly trust the system. This profession have been put on a pedestal for far too long as well. There is basically zero accountability. I have witnessed too much but in saying that, there are but a few that have good intensions and take care of their patients. If you find a good one, hold onto them, if not, pray for your life.

I have been an RN for 17 years and I am currently not working due to the years of worsening patient outcomes from things that are preventable but ONLY when hospitals put patient safety FIRST and STAFF APPROPRIATELY! There is an easy solution that will drastically reduce adverse events for patients and this has been PROVEN time and again…….stop allowing these large corporations run all the hospitals like any other business and return the business of healthcare to those who are looking at what’s best for the patients and not the dollar sign bottom line!

It's much more complicated than just the corporate and Vatican-owned hospitals. Many doctors are certifiable narcissists or even alcoholics/addicts (or both), and medical school is rote learning basically funded by big pharma, etc etc etc. Doctors are protected by the system and essentially have immunity. Giving doctors who already feel like gods god-status is very dangerous, and that is exactly what has been done..

I have a medical neglect story. In 2021, I was losing weight for weight loss surgery preparation. In March, I began having severe shortness of breath. I passed it off as asthma but kept getting worse. For six months, I tried getting help. I felt so awful that it was hard to get out of bed. I was told I was too fat and I had anxiety.

Medicine should not be a for profit business. Doctors need to be paid and paid well, yes. But when hospitals are run as a corporation with a board of directors and share holders, profits come first and people come second. As long as this model exists, medical negligence will continue to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA

Here in Australia we have "Universal healthcare". Even though it's not profit we have the same problems as the USA. One thing I've learned first hand is you cannot leave a loved one alone in any hospital. Someone needs to be at their bedside 24/7 to make sure no medication etc mistakes are made. There's a reason many hospitals do not like family staying over night.

[@marywagner9927]

You think care is bad now, it would be 100x worse if it was nonprofit. Mistakes will always be made.

A lady I knew from my church went into a hosptial for a bone spur surgery on her spine. It was supposed to be a simple procedure but the surgeon nicked her aorta by mistake causing her to bleed out quickly. Many church members went in to donate blood hoping to save her but she was dead within 24 hours. She was only in her 30s and a mother of 3 very young children. Very sad.

My grandpa went to the ER for gout in his elbow. He ended up restrained and sedated in ICU. My mom is a nurse and read his charts and mentioned to the nurses and doctors that his chart was wrong and/or missing information. The next morning they transported him to a different hospital. On the way there he went into cardiac arrest. They got his heart pumping again and admitted him to his new hospital room. He was put on life support. The new doctor came in and said he wouldn’t make it to see the following morning. He passed away late morning the next day. And we figured out the first hospital gave him something that reacted with his regular medication and they sent him to the second hospital to die. And there was nothing we could do about it. He went in for gout and passed away 4 days later. They essentially murdered my grandpa. He was only 67 years young.

This resonates so much…A simple broken heel repair was botched, leading to the development of a serious chronic pain disorder that took 2 years to diagnose only for it to be spread throughout the rest of my body by a nerve block following diagnosis. Since that error, I’ve required 13 surgeries…including 2 below knee amputations and several back surgeries for stimulator implants…one that required removal 2 weeks ago when it began burning me internally. All surgeons who contributed continue to practice, and Justice will never be served. I never imagined that life as I knew it would end at the age of 26 and lead me to require full-time care beginning at 28 years of age. All I have is a lifetime of pain ahead of me made even harder due to chronic pain patients being treated like addicts due to the “opioid epidemic.”

Sorry you are dealing with this. How challenging. Someone I used to work with had ankle surgery and the doctors stuffed it up and left her permanently disabled.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

@@jeannerountree952 I was at John’s Hopkins to do a Tilt Table Test. I was strapped to a table (arms and legs secured) and lay flat to get baseline readings of my pulse, blood pressure, and respiration. Only a nurse was in the room. She was sitting next to me watching all the readings on a computer screen. After a few minutes, the table was tilted upright. A normal person’s autonomic nervous system would accommodate the movement and react accordingly. In those with various dysautonomias, this doesn’t happen leading to fainting and a host of other symptoms. Shortly after the table was raised, I felt the all too familiar feeling, I was about to faint…. I cried out “something is wrong, something is wrong!” But I was powerless to escape as I was clamped tightly to the table. Inexplicably the nurse did not lower the table as promised once she saw the change in my readings!! At that point I fainted….then my heart stopped…..then sometime after that I had a grand mal seizure. FINALLY, the darn nurse lowered the table! But too late. I was flatlined for some time. The next thing I know, the head of cardiology was standing over me asking if I knew what had happened. I had a horrible headache and the episode must have freaked them out because they forced me to stay inpatient overnight (it was supposed to be an OUTpatient test!). I never received an apology nor explanation from Johns Hopkins. I can only imagine how many brain cells it killed as my brain was deprived of oxygen (that’s why I fainted). I only hope they changed their policy and started having more than 1 person attend the tilt table test

I am in Canada. I had my large intestine stitched to my abdominal wall during a C section in 1998. Developed sepsis and nearly died. My Mom was in hospital and we caught so many errors. Too many to list. One being hanging the wrong meds. They hung here room mates meds and we caught it just before they administered it. So many others it’s ridiculous. I had a double mastectomy in 2020 and they prepped me for the wrong reconstruction and cut important nerves and muscles and at some point my left arm was dropped off the table damaging and dislocating it. They would not believe me and so it cost me my career which was very physical, had to sell my house and lost my hobbies. Left arm still weak and pec spasms and fasciculations. Told I was faking it u til they finally did a nerve conduction test to confirm the nerve damage. Nothing you can do here about it legally… lost so much and on top of that the breast cancer that lead to this.

My nephew went in for an appendectomy and got out a week later after having blood transfusions from a nicked artery in his abdomen. It wasn't found until his blood pressure dropped dangerously low. There was no blood flow into a leg for about an hour and he was left with 2 huge scars from fascia surgery. He was just a young kid with appendicitis! I'd never seen my brother completely out of his mind from panic. It was a horrendous time for our family. Thank God he survived this, albeit with scars, both physically and mentally.

Gosh that's aweful. I am at the part of the family who's son died from 1q medications in 2 hours left alone to die ...on a withdrawals detox? Horrific. I have thankfully never had too many serious issues. When my kid broke his leg I had to take the cast off it was making his foot swell up and I never went back because they were going to put a full leg cast which is not what you're supposed to do for the type of fracture he had. I've had doctors tell me the inner ear doesn't exist and give me banned medications. I dont go to doctors any more. My mom was treated so badly in hospital that every day I had a long list of complaints which were common sense errors . Now she's off all her meds reversed diabetes herself with diet. Doctors are the real quacks. 3rd biggest killer? Thats insane. Look what we did for covid .1 percent of people died at the start from that. But 3rd biggest killer we can't do anything about that.

In Belgium in the 80's 2 different doctors only gave me a few pills to cure me from appendicitis 2x in the same year! We did not have money to go to hospital. This 2 doctors knew this. But other get operated. So if a few pills can cure appendicitis even in a acute situation, why is it that they operate you. To make more $$$ i guess from the operation. I never knew what pills they where. So sorry for your suffering.

[@Padraigp]

@heide-raquelfuss5580 I would assume antibiotics. Antibiotics are still use for appendicitis.....but when there is a possibly rupture they operate. The appendix is part of the intestinal tract. If an appendix bursts and connects your intestines to your body cavity that can kill you. It's not worth the risk to not operate if the appendix is very swollen aand could burst. You had no other choice and youw ere lucky. If the antibiotics had not worked and your appendix had ruptured would these doctors have just left you to die because you didn't have money? Usually acute appendicitis is not treated by your family doctor but by a hospital doctor because it is an emergency and ig Belgium Hadd no emergency departments to treat children in the 80s thats pretty grim. I hope you have a national health service now. But it sounds like you didn't actually need the operation. And the doctors probably knew this. Today all over thw world if your appendix isn't about to burst they will give you antibiotics first before opening you up as surgery is also a risk. It's just a better risk than a burst appendix in most cases.

Her daughter finally requested the scans ( she is a nurse) took them to her doctor she worked for. He popped it in and immediately saw they had clipped her ureter to her only good kidney. It was obvious . No way to deny it. The doctor blamed the resident. Blah blah blah. If he would have just owned up to it and tried to fix it. But no!

Even WITH insurance, the total cost for the birth and the nicu stay for the babies was almost 7 million..... MILLION dollars. Healthcare has become little more than a business. Doctors are allotted minimal times per patient. Nurses are forced to work in unsafe environments. They are told to give premium care to those with the "best" insurance, while giving little to no care to those on state insurance or no insurance. This has very little to do with doctors or nurses.. This has to do with forcing them to be little more than a cog in the atm machine.

I am very, very fortunate that while I have affects still three years later, but it could have been much MUCH worse. I can walk, talk etc. But I am very weak on my left side, with half my face completely dead/numb including my palate, tongue, lips making eating challenging.

I'd had toxemia my last pregnancy and they warned me I'd likely develop high BP later in life and to watch for it.

Many years after, (event was when I was four, this now, I was 20.) ki had two grand mal seizures in one day. After not having any problems during a 3 day EEG, they immediately told me it was non epileptic seizures because of trauma. Nope, I have epilepsy. I’d been having smaller seizures for my whole life thus far and they weren’t recognized. I’ve been having headaches every day my whole life as well. A lot of the meds they decided to try shouldn’t be given to anyone with a history of seizures . Even after I got the correct diagnosis and tried over 10 different medications, my seizures are still uncontrolled. Even knowing this, they put me on tramadol.two doses in and I started feeling bad seizures. My grandfather had all kinds of leg surgeries done because a missed bone infection. My grandmother, had to have her toe removed because of unsterile medical instruments, and they both got shigella from the water walking therapy from the hospital. My grandmother later died in the hospital years later from a sudden increase of her potassium levels. My best friend’s mother went to the emergency room because what her doctor had diagnosed as pneumonia wouldn’t go away. She had lung cancer to the point it had spread everywhere . She died less than 2 weeks later. This is just some thing I know of. It’s way more common than people think.

All states have absurd caps on compensation. The minute you tell a doctor it happened at work they don't want to treat you further. They won't write down any diagnoses or give you a reference for any other that can help.

My mother died because our PC made a bad diagnosis which the hospital piggybacked on instead of doing their own investigation. Big difference between a sinus infection and an aneurysm.

I will gladly share that Dr. mellelo in league city/webster Texas almost killed my mother due to medical error. I can’t even believe that my mom is alive. She had a stroke and an infection in a knee that will never the same. The drs wouldn’t believe what we were telling them and we later found out that she had gotten an infection in her knee while at the hospital. It destroyed her knee and almost killed her. It’s been a road of grieving for all of us but especially my mother.

[@susanwright4414]

My mom almost died recently because hospital staff wouldn't let her drink any liquids for 14 hours because a special MRI machine was broken, so they postponed her surgery. She needed a special machine because she had a knee replacement before. She had split open her knee (on a trailer hitch). By the time she got into surgery her blood pressure was way too low. She's almost 90. Awful. One of the best hospitals, too.

[@T2MARA]

She has a gag order but did her family and friends sign a gag order? Can’t they reveal the name of the hospital and doctor who operated on her?

[@juliaharbeck774]

Isn't it terrible the person who told the truth can't do it publicly or face loosing their job. The hospital will lie and cover their butt every single time. As a nurse I am well aware where complaining gets you, on the short list.

For example, if consultants work in teams, coders might allocate work to the most senior consultant in the team, who is more likely to be a man. Also, activities were limited to inpatient and outpatient settings, so other activities such as teaching and administration would have been ignored. More importantly, the findings may reflect the way that women doctors work-perhaps they spend longer with their patients than their male colleagues and communicate differently. Differences exist in the way that men and women work, both in medicine and other professions.2 One meta-analysis has shown that women have longer consultations, are more patient centred, engage in more emotionally focused talk, counsel more psychosocially, and that their patients speak more.3 Consequently, female consultants overall must conduct fewer patient episodes, unless they also work longer hours.

Medicare for all and putting an end to patient insurance would end this. Insurance companies and their stock holders have a strangle hold on healthcare. You throw big Pharma and their stock holders in the mix and you have a perfect cascade of capitalist oligarchs.

That’s their intent. Food, housing, medical care etc. Total control.

[@mcz4251]

The government managing healthcare is not the answer. Procedures, tests, etc will have to undergo even more scrutiny before being approved. The government is even more interested in cost savings.

Why i stayed awake for my wisdom tooth removal. No not going to trust my ortho doc to do anethesia too

[@heide-raquelfuss5580]

I asked for anesthesia for 1 tooth removal. Woke up. I freaked out! They pulled all my wisdom teeth out + they drilled 12 teeth and put amalgam fillings. I could not close my mouth properly and the pressure on my teeth when i closed my mouth. I woke also up and realized i lost my short term memory, could not do stairs without falling. Lost my words. Lost my ability to cook and do basic stuff. Allways forgot where i put things 24/7. My life was over. Till this day no doctor told me what happened under anesthesia. I never wanted to have anesthesia ever again. So the day i need it i am done. Btw. I had no other teeth problem. So why did they do so much dental work? $$$ i guess and so students could 'practice'? I was 26 years old. I had a baby. I was so ashamed of my teeth with all the fillings. I had strong healthy teeth and in 1 session i had a monstruous oral vieuw. I hate doctors. I could write a book about them during decades of suffering. I lost my dad too on malpractice. My only family who loved me and i only had him. I was 17 years old and suddenly alone in this dangerous world. His little sister got killed ( orders from the gov protocols to get rid of the worthless eaters ww2 ). She had asthma attacks and was 4 years old when the house doctor euthanized her!!! Gov and doctors and all involved in one way or another... The vaxxes too. Medications. Watch out.
