Dr. Mahendra is that rare combination of skill AND compassion. Hard to find!

[@renb6133]

So incredibly sad about Charulata. She seemed like such a special lady, ultra hardworking, devoted to her family, warm & friendly & a friend to many. I think Dilip took quite a while to appreciate what a gift in had in her. I’m glad her daughter, Ria, so valued her beloved mum. RIP, beautiful lady! 💕

[@SnowPink90]

She did seem like a beautiful person and you could tell with the way that she apologized for causing the staff extra work that says a lot about her in a very good way. I feel so sorry for her daughter not having her mom there. I felt the husband was foolish in going to America for 10 years and missing out on those years with the children and his wife. People want the golden apple, in this case back home was the golden apple and it’s called your family. Now that she’s gone he realizes his wife was both beautiful, loving and most of all a treasure.

[@SomethingAboutBeautee]

@@SnowPink90I think calling him foolish was a little on the harsh side especially seeing that they came from an impoverished country which is why he went to the UK to begin with. He wanted to give them a better life where he had far more opportunities instead of of what his own country could provide! I don’t know if you realize what I’m about to say or if you meant it to BUT the way you speak about the husband/father comes across as mean & spiteful. In the way you speak of him, it feels like you’re insinuating that he deserves the hurt he is now suffering because he wasn’t focused on his family when it’s actually the polar opposite as I mentioned above. He sacrificed what he did so that their children wouldn’t have to suffer through the same pain that he & his beloved had to suffer through. Anyhow, I’m not trying to be mean in my response to you & instead I’m saying that sometimes we need to look at the bigger picture!

[@Teresa-L.2024]

So sad for Charalata. She sounded like a wonderful lady. All those years of working so much just wore her body out. May she rest in peace. So sorry for her family. 😢

[@KaraNolting]

Stacy and Luke are what a relationship should look like. So sweet

[@brendadickenson3547]

Luke and Stacy are a great couple. I was born with epilepsy and as a carpenter is a wonderful thing. My father in law only went to 3 rd. Grade, but his dad died and so he went to work. Built roads and learned carpentery. He learned it well Doctors Lawyers etc. asked him for furniture and cabinets and bookcases, did finish carpentry for homes well up in his 70's he was asked by named.

[@eunicestone6532]

Poor little lady. She looked so scared.

[@carolineandrews7231]

Dr Mahinda is an amazing clever and compassionate neurologist, a very special young man.

[@BinkyDaKitty]

I saw my mom have a seizure a few days after my daughter was born and I went straight to a panic. My family helped me and my mother recover after. Dilip and Ria have my deepest condolences. That’s a frightening thing to witness.

[@alanatolstad4824]

As a nurse, I'm so impressed by the people who share their stories.

[@BrianDavis13]

Man, that was a gut punch of an ending to this one. Also, Stacey is a great person, and a babe on top of it. Luke did well! :D

[@aquachonk]

So, wear your helmet, children. I wore mine and when I somersaulted over the handlebars of my mountain bike onto asphalt at speed, all I got was a mild TBI and a shoulder separation, and a few blood blisters. No hospital stay, no extensive rehab, everything's working fine today. Otherwise, I'd be dead.

[@lynfawcett221]

Dilip and Ria, so very sorry for your loss 😢😢😢

[@eunicestone6532]

I love the first couple. So much love. So scary.

[@ArmorofGodtx1]

I know how Luke feels about his seizure. It is very hard to getting use to living with. Good for you two making work. ❤

[@somosgenel]

35:47 Luke's girlfriend sounds like an awesome caring person. You luck out Luke.Congratulations on your nuptials.... May Misses Charulata eternally Rest in Peace

[@renb6133]

Great young couple. I’m really glad Luke proposed because Stacey’s a keeper. True love is being there through the darkest days & Stacey totally was. They seem such lovely couple & a great match. PS Agree about Charulata. She really seemed like such a special lady - warm, kind, hardworking & devoted to her family. I think it says a lot about her, that people warmed to her so quickly.

[@christinesbetterknitting4533]

Full anaesthetic lowers the blood oxygen and can be very detrimental to older patients. Dont minimize the risks. She was absolutely right to evaluate what she wanted for herself.

[@pegs1659]

Yeah, my grandmother had carotid artery surgery and was never right afterwards. She came out of anesthesia hallucinating. It was so sad. She ended up in a crappy nursing home and died 5 years later.

[@d.rim.4275]

It is also known - at least nowadays - that ga can highten the cerebal beta amyloid deposits in elderly patients which play a big role in alzheimers dementia. And then there is the risk of POD & POCD. So I can understand when someone who has relatives with memory issues is concerned about getting a ga.

[@ajpthequeen]

💯 agree. The risk was not worth it with the kind of injury she had. My mom had to have several surgeries due to breast cancer and it spread up her dementia immensely and was gone shortly after.

[@cynhiacations9879]

A former theatre nurse told me that it's quite common for older patients to have strokes from anaesthesia

[@lindaarnold5683]

@@pegs1659without the surgery, what would her life span been1/2 years?

[@DeputatKaktus]

Elbow injuries are really fickle. Some types of injuries will not even show up in XRay images. That was what happened in my case. It needed a CT scan to figure out that a piece of bone had broken off and was (still is) floating around in the joint. The XRay looked clear, according to the doctor. But since there was still pain that was not explained with soft tissue injuries, he ordered a CT scan. I had very limited ROM and substantial swelling when I got sent to the radiologist. Told them I cannot move the arm further than maybe a few degrees in either direction from right angle . I tried positioning myself as best I could on the stretcher that goes in the tube. But then this idiot nurse who had seemed in a terrible rush suddenly came in and saw fit to grab my wrist and actually try to push and force the arm down into a straight position. Which was....extremely painful. It also did not work. The joint was locked and would not budge. I yelled out in pain and then may have used "outside voice" and some pretty colorful language to ask her what in the name of the hell she thought she was doing. I came very, very close to punching her when she did not let go initially. Bear in mind, it was not even clear at the time what exactly was wrong. But trying to force a limb into a position that is so painful despite very clear protests from the patient (me) hardly seems conducive to the diagnostic process. I know we should be thankful for everyone who works in the medical field, but some people are maybe best put to use in other capacities. I have never been that angry at medical staff. But that lady did it.

[@lynfawcett221]

Ria, you did the right thing, and got your Mum the help sge needed.

[@jacoposaioni3413]

that's sad, chalarata seems like was a very lovely person...

[@mgm2008]

❤❤❤❤ First time I was shocked from reading the comments before finishing the video!! So sorry about Sharulata! She seemed like a very hard working and kind person!! The dr was good at diagnosing her. Dr Google was right, too!

[@corvettesbme]

I love this show! Thank you Banijay!

[@curtispandachuk9323]

I really appreciate that ladies comments and I completely agree with her first off. I believe you should never take your partner for granted secondly never go to bed unless you both are on terms with everything. It means everything. ❤

The Jamaican porter is the best. More of him, please!

[@lisaadams6753]

It’s so sad the people that lost the mother, the Indian mother. It sad that he had to lose her to realize that she’s been working her ass off in the background for his whole life.

[@renb6133]

Agree, Dilip didn’t truly appreciate what he had until he lost her. We should all learn from this & never take our loved ones for granted.

[@janetilmann5305]

My mom had a heart procedure under full anesthetic. She came out of it with paralyzed vocal cords, a very rare complication of having a breathing tube. She can talk now, but she could barely whisper for weeks and weeks and, even now, only one of her vocal cords works normally. While it isn't a good reason not to have surgery under full anesthetic, it is something to think about.

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

Oh, just heartbreaking, 💐

[@nikkigeeez]

Charalata sounded like an amazing woman 😢

[@renb6133]

Agree, what a beautiful, warm & kind lady. She seemed willing to be a friend to anyone. What a sad outcome.

About the retired couple trying to give off posh vibes with all their travel chat to impress all those within earshot; that sunk the moment the husband said when their family argue they throw plates. Good grief, raised under a bridge no doubt.

[@AllanOLeary-vh5nb]

im trying to work where this hosapol is and they talking cure of others🎉🎉

[@Tirani2]

While my husband and I are unlikely to make it to 51 years together, it's not at all stupid to celebrate the anniversaries of your wedding and when you met. We do, and I hope if we get to to have 25 years together, we continue to. (15 years in April, and it's unknown if I'll make it another 10.)

[@hilaryc3203]

I was shocked that at 22:22 one of the clerks got up from her chair and showered herself with perfume. Not only is that inappropriate for any office, but in a hospital where they were serving people with health problems, it's outrageous. People come in with respiratory issues (and coworkers may also have allergies or respiratory problems) and will have to suffer all so the little princess wannabe wants to shower in stink. Shameful and disrespectful. Hospitals should be scent free zones. I wouldn't have sat next to that; I'd have sent her off.

[@JDowd-mt7jt]

I know it’s difficult for the gentleman with epilepsy I have it to and have problems from it and hard to learn a new normal in a way

[@river8760]

Luke and Stacy are cute 😀

[@AussieLivvy]

I’ve never heard of someone getting crazy from anesthesia….could there have been an underlying medical condition with her mother?? My mother is petrified of needles & going to sleep & is refusing to have hip replacement surgery. They get more stubborn as they age imo!

[@faithsmit6839]

It's from severe b12 depletion. It's actually quite common...I wish patients were warned if it and given a booster of it in the methylated form immediately afterwards to prevent such a spiral.

[@mariongiesler2306]

The elderly often have some difficulty with anaesthetic because more have underlying health problems. When you have surgery or conscious sedation you ALWAYS get supplemental oxygen at a high level!

[@christiaancoetzee2964]

Lovely Indian couple. So glad it was not another stroke.

[@oliviabrill6519]

I feel sorry for them as they look so unhappy and out of love. Just my opinion.

[@mickieswendsen1302]

She died

[@faithsmit6839]

​@oliviabrill6519 it's hard to tell as they were ripped out of sleep at 2:30 am and immediately brought by ambulance to hospital and she had extensive heart failure causing her extreme chronic exhaustion. 😢

[@juliejustus6878]

The first lady with heart failure. With only 50% heart function. Why hadn't they already did the bypass? Here in America they would have already 7:34

only if you ca afford it

Their waiting lists can be long.

[@conniewilliams7650]

If your insurance says you can after dragging everything out until you've been dead for three minths!

[@ajpthequeen]

We must not live in the same America. The one I live in things get dragged out by the insurance companies as long as possible with them hoping the patient will die so they don’t have to pay for the surgery. I’d love to live in your America…

[@rosa733]

I am at 42% was as low as 10% but have had no surgery except to put in a pacemaker/defibralator. They have threatened bypass but I keep working hard to avoid that. This lady just looked so exhausted, that I understand but being alone I can’t lie back and recover, she didn’t seem to at all. Rip.

Always wear a helmet, people. They're super light these days, and the venting is great so you aren't getting hot. You can buy a decent one pretty cheap at a good bicycle shop, and they'll fit it properly for you. Same for motorcycles. There's no excuse really. You can't replace your brain folks.

[@lindaarnold5683]

Why did the woman with the broken elbow even go to A&E if she had no inyention of having the elbow treated??

[@d.rim.4275]

Probably because she was hoping they could align the bones with a local anaesthesia.

[@ajpthequeen]

Who said she didn’t want to be treated??? She weighed the risks and benefits of the treatments available and decided she didn’t want to take the risk of being under general anesthesia since her arm would not get any worse.

[@hollyhal1254]

He sounds a bit lot Joe Lysett, or is that just me?

[@lisaadams6753]

I think it’s odd we take it for granted that young men are going to drive dangerously on their motorcycles like it’s a god given right. The expense, the heartache and the hardship and having somebody maybe have to take care of you for the rest of your life if you are in an accident is something people just accept. I don’t get it. I don’t get that level of selfishness.

[@curtispandachuk9323]

[@lovelyjanuary]

I think Anne has already lost her marbles if she actually thinks that the ONLY reason her mother was so bad at a very late age in life was because of her hip operation anesthetic lol. I’m sure it was more like her husband was saying! 💕🤣

[@pegs1659]

No, you would be surprised at the number of older people who lose their marbles after a surgery. The anesthesia drops their blood oxygen way down and causes brain damage. It happened to my grandmother.

[@ajpthequeen]

That is wildly inaccurate! It is well documented that being put under can have devastating consequences on an elderly brain! My mother went through it, but she didn’t have a choice but to have surgeries. The risk isn’t worth it if you can avoid the anesthesia and it isn’t anything to laugh and joke about. I lost my mother shortly after the surgery and when she came out of it, she didn’t recognize us and was hallucinating and in constant panic, not knowing where she was. Maybe when you’re commenting on videos like this exercise a bit of sensitivity. You don’t know what those reading you making fun of things have been through.

I love LOVE STORIES. My husband said he knew he loved me at first sight. My best friend knew him (They went to high school together. I went to a different high school.) before I ever saw him. Her dad was a preacher and became the preacher of my church. I had met a married couple that was her friends from high school also. I didn’t have any boy friends. I was concentrating on going to college (to nursing school). I didn’t have time for dating. My friend and her married friends had set up a blind date for me at a steakhouse for a Saturday night. I didn’t know. I thought that my friend and I were meeting her married couple friends for supper but her high school male friend showed up, which was supposed to have been her “boyfriend” I didn’t know about. A blind date didn’t show up that I didn’t know they had set up for me. We all had a great time laughing and eating and talking. I drive my friends back home. I had to get home because I had to study and had a clinical and a conference to go to that weekend. I was living in an apartment by myself and on my voicemail I had a call from the female from the married couple. She said the guy wanted my number and he wants to go on a date with me. I called her and asked? “Is he not going with ‘A’?” She said, “No! Never! They have only been friends. He was is friends with my brother.” Well, I told her to give him my number, but he had to talk with “A” about this and clear things up. It wasn’t 10 minutes later; he called me and I told him the same thing. To call my friend and tell her. It would be two weeks before I can go on a date because of my nursing schedule. He called and left messages on my answering machine every night when I was gone for the convention. When I got back I talked to my friend about what had occurred and about the guy asking me out on a date. I asked her, “Did he come by and talk to you and tell you he was taking me out.” She said, “ Yes.” I told her did we not tell each other in our pack, that the guy had the right to choose which one to he wants to take out? My friend didn’t have anything to do with me. We had talked about being in each other’s wedding and our children being each other’s best friends. I gained a husband and wonderful in-laws and all the beautiful family members that comes with my husband, but I lost the very BEST friend that I had ever had in my life for four years. God puts people in your life for a certain amount of time. We started back communicating five years ago, but we do not have the friendship bond that we had. I would still do anything for her.

[@jennyvanniekerk9600]

Shame that lady was so behind times. Going for an operation being put under is buggerall. U dont loose yr marbles.

[@mariansange4103]

Not strictly true. Many elderly patients do not fully recover from the effects of a full anesthesia, for example memory issues, balance issues, susceptible to lung infection etc.

[@MelissaGlover-l3b]

As I thought too

[@Pendragon667]

My father of around 60 at that time had to undergo back surgery. When he came around he suffered from some sort of mental breakdown and psychosis. Most likely due to a reaction to the anaesthesia. He even was admitted to the psychiatric ward where he had to stay for two weeks.
