Shocked to see the Heart attack/ stroke patient walking around rather than transporting her by wheelchair.

[@ingridmcdonald7644]

That is exactly what I was thinking. God forbid it could be an aneurysm! And then they had her walk out with a referral. We've had ERs and hospitals shut down because of heart attacks and strokes as patients were leaving!

[@colleenk6864]

Socialized medicine at it’s worst

[@songbirds3712]

Her symptoms were rather vague and inconsistent, so I wonder if there was a bit of drama at play. Just my opinion.

[@be4202]

I was shocked that they sent her away walking and not in a wheelchair, and not rushed to an ER, she could’ve been about to have a burst aneurysm!

[@Greeley.d]

This poor lady with heart attack should be on her way to hospital. I live in U.S. and went to see my GP and began having chest pains. She did an EKG and called an ambulance. I was diagnosed with AFIB she may have saved my life.

[@emsjen]

I've never seen someone make a suspected MI walk to their testing... esp when presenting with stroke symptoms

[@kbarnes8953]

You a doctor?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Me neither! I walked to A & E with nausea, vertigo, BP through the roof, tingling in two fingers. They immediately suspected MI and hoisted me onto a stretcher, despite the fact that I’d walked 15 blocks to get there. I wasn’t having one, fortunately. It was an inner ear infection and a pinched nerve in my shoulder! I was also under a tremendous amount of stress. The symptoms were unrelated, except that stress made them all worse. The ear infection was from getting water in it at the swimming pool. I had no ear pain, rather, it threw off my vestibular system. The I’d wrenched my shoulder at work moving a heavy table. The combo and having to walk because my taxi never came served to raise my BP. Nothing antibiotic, meclezine, paracetamol, and a day off work couldn’t cure.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

It wouldn’t happen here in Queensland Australia. I just got a bit dizzy and was put into a wheelchair and taken to the er.

[@happydays1336]

Where I live in the U.S., nurses and staff never call out the full names of patients when it's their turn to go in and see the doctor--just their first names. This makes it more private for the patient. People have to stay behind a line on the floor at several of my doctors' offices and pharmacies so the patient ahead of them can talk privately to the person helping them and not have anyone else hear the conversation.

[@loriepark404]

As a nurse who is used to the privacy rules in the US I was also startled to hear the patients first and last name as well as their diagnosis broadcast to the world. Every country is different!

[@miarand57]

That’s all due to the HIPPA Laws (Patient privacy)

[@helengarrett6378]

A stroke patient, or possible stroke patient, with a cardiac history would not be asked to walk to a car and go to a stroke center. Doctor would call ambulance and patient would be transported to the nearest hospital on an emergency basis. There is one hour, called the golden hour, to reverse stroke symptoms with optimal results. This patient has already wasted at least half of that time getting to clinic, getting the ECG and now is walking to the car for a trip to the stroke center. The golden hour is gone and results of treatment may be lessened. This system is not set up for emergency response.

[@mjblue84]

What helped me--and it might not help you--is that I forced myself to go on walks. At first I could barely walk to the mailbox but after a while I was able to go on 2 mile walks. I hope the best for you and that you're not suffering too much.

[@theresaakin2284]

I was in my doctor's office one day due to my left arm hurting and I had a horrible headache down the left side as the lady in this video. I was there for only a couple minutes and the nurse rushed out only to the door and paged my doctor. Not even 5 minutes later, I was on my way out the elevators in a wheel chair to the ER about 20 steps away. None of the bs this doctor punched into a computer. He only needed to listen to her heart quickly with a stethoscope as my nurse and doctor did. I spent the next week in the hospital. Can't believe they made that woman get up and walk. She could've collapsed and broken bones to add to her misery.

[@terriatca1]

Her ecg was normal, that means no cardiac issues.

[@sadie_lynn6792]

@@terriatca1 Doesn't matter... She was having symptoms of stroke. They had no idea what would happen. Later diagnosis was migraine, which I use to get terrible ones that would even blur my vision. Every single time I've been to the ER, Doctor office, or urgent care I have been tested for heart attack and stroke. And in an urgent manner. The last time my mother went to her Family Doctor over a terrible migraine... Turned out she was having a stroke and they got her to the hospital asap, urgently. Saved her life. Urgency does matter.

[@terriatca1]

[@gabriellenichole3445]

They need to hustle on emergency’s!!! Also, Why don’t they do the testing in the office? For the little boy it would have been easy to get a Urine sample and result ASAP.

[@itsjustwaterweight978]

These Drs should know the signs of a stroke without having to punch the stuff into a computer form. Lol

[@Toby3610]

I’m sure they do (well most of them) but sometimes it’s for the patients piece of mind. You have something tangible to show them. I’m a nurse and there can be a few signs. Especially between men, woman and even kids. Then the stress that can cause. Having someone say that are compared to ecgs, bps, pulse rates etc. I think a good Gp or nursing staff are able to know the signs do a few preliminary things confirm or deny it then escalate if necessary. But at each stage assure and reassure the patient that they will be looked after and everything that’s happening is ok and right. But some patients are comforted by numbers others by a calm manner others are reassured with procedures and the steps involved and that the procedure and process is well worn and the GP/nurse healthcare worker knows this process/procedure and what happens next. I worked on a stroke ward for a bit and there is a procedure for every thing and what needs to happen when. Talking it through with next of kin and person. Trust is huge so is customer service (many people want someone who cares for them but not coddled) . I learned a lot of things through different complex cases or patients who have co-morbid conditions. Aged care is a great place to gain experience.

[@lillyrose3545]

I showed up to the ER having droopy face on one side, slurred speech, and a drop foot and before I even had my temp taken in triage I was being wheeled straight to the CCU. If it is possibly a stroke or heart attack, those minutes are critical! It’s better to be safe than sorry. They must have sensed it was ok. I pray that there was some behind the scene reason for not treating her urgently.

[@be4202]

[@carolinekinney2364]

My husband had a widow maker heart attack June 2022. He drove himself to the ER since I don’t drive. He was in surgery within 30 minutes. Praise God he never had the second heart attack that usually takes your life with a widow maker. He looked a lot worse than the lady in this video. He was soaking wet with sweat and the pain was indescribable. The medical care in this country has just in the past 2 years declined. You must push your doctor to help you now.

[@pmr5539]

Omg. The UK's health system is so poor. I feel sorry for that lady that was sent home with stroke symptoms.

[@suzymartin6286]

I’m from the US and was sent home from my GP after having severe leg pain and leg weakness. I had a scheduled appointment with her. My pain increased and was so bad, I was crying. They gave me an injection for pain relief and did an X-ray. She then said she could see no damage, sent me home saying to call in 3 days if it doesn’t improve. Long story short, she later referred me to a Physical Medicine Specialist. He took one look at my leg, (foot drop), ordered an MRI and I was scheduled for emergency surgery that evening. A disc had ruptured and pieces of it had impinged my sciatic nerve. I have permanent nerve damage and pain now. This was preventable. This is a well known HMO. Couldn’t sue because you have to do arbitration/mediation.

[@helengarrett6378]

Sounds like my HMO. I am quite firm advocating for myself and usually do not get brushed off. I read medical journals and study alot because I am quite elderly and get brushed off a lot. I fought for a shingles vaccination that my doctor tried to talk me ourt of. WRONG ANSWER! I fought for a dexa scan he tried to put off. THEY FOUND OSTEOPOROSIS! I advocate for my own best interest regardless of the HMO protocol for people over 80 years old. With good care I can live longer!

[@incandesantlite]

In the US they would call an ambulance right away for a suspected stroke/heart attack. They can do the EKG in route to the hospital in the ambulance. They also have life saving drugs which could be needed if the patient decompensates. Wasting time during the golden hour asking about headaches and anxiety then sending them walking out the door is fucking stupid if you ask me. A Doctor wouldn't risk an increase in their malpractice insurance premiums if a patient happens to die in the Doctor's office. i highly doubt a Dr's office/surgery would have tpa- the drug needed to treat stroke patients which must be given ASAP if it is a stroke.

[@gigieyre]

[@slc1161]

They are way behind on stroke care. In the U.S., potential strokes aren't delayed for an exam in an office. They are immediately sent by ambulance to a stroke hospital. Paramedics are trained to evaluate symptoms and those patients are fastracked right to CT, then Interventional Radiology or they get TPA given to bust the clot up. If it is hemorrhagic stroke, neurosurgery sees them if the stroke is small.

[@karenglenn6707]

I live in Australia where our healthcare is similar to the NHS in the UK and is free for everyone. I have some serious health issues and have to say that I could never complain about getting in to see a specialist when it was needed. I was in our local hospital recently, still had my own GP looking after me, lovely private room and amazing nurses. It cost nothing. The USA may have great healthcare but it is not equal for all, which it should be.Plus no one has ever been bankrupted by medical bills. In my case, prescriptions costs no more than $6.60, and once you reach the safety net where you have spent over roughly $250 your prescriptions are then completely free for the remainder of the calendar year. Our system may not be perfect, but it is inclusive, there is no need for private health insurance unless you choose to. My sister was travelling through Europe and got pneumonia in the UK and was hospitalised. There was no bill for her to pay at the end of her treatment. Imagine having that in the US with no travel insurance? It would be a financial nightmare.

[@carmenpereiramercado5190]

Not free, you pay with taxes and pay for those who don't pay taxes and for those who just don't care to do their bit. Nothing is free.

[@maryjones6115]

Your taxes are through the roof compared to the US. So, you do pay for your healthcare. NHS patients rarely get private rooms or immediate healthcare intervention. Waiting lists exist for minor surgeries all the time. The NHS runs on emergency basis these days, which is unfortunate. Plus, the NHS is bankrupt so olks are getting their own private health insurance. In the US, yes, healthcare can be disproportionate but if one goes on the Affordable Care Act , which is very very inexpensive or free, it is not an issue . I am on it and have had no issues.

[@karenglenn6707]

@@maryjones6115 I think that you’ll find that our taxes are much the same as yours. We have no state sales tax or levies added to out GST. I recently watched a documentary which covered this very thing, and our tax and that of the UK were much the same as yours. maybe do some research. I was in hospital in February and had a lovely private room for 3 days. I am not criticising your country, just that for the richest country in the world not to provide complete health care for its citizens is shameful. Most Americans know it, and the rest of the world certainly does. If you want to be offended by someone stating a sad fact about your healthcare system then go for it. And I am retired, and pay no tax and still get exactly the same care. Our country’s system is not perfect, but at least it is not a money making business that bankrupts people

[@maryjones6115]

@@slc1161 Depends of income and dedutible. If you chose the highest deductable ($7500) you will probably not have a premium. Challenge is to have enough cash to pay as you go for medical care until you meet your deductible. In your case, I suspect you are limited. Very frustrating. So sorry you are in this situation. I know when I go on Medicare next year I will have a higher premium than I do now. Zero income but higher premium. Go figure.

Because in American society some folks are nobodies & some people are catered to because of . . . whatever. The color of their skin, the size of their bank account, their position in life. And god forbid you don’t have health insurance or are on some type of state aid. And it’s NOT that doctors & nurses are callous or cruel. It’s a healthcare system designed with capitalism in mind. Patients are not triaged so much for their conditions as their ability to PAY. You, lady, are unaware of how it is for those outside your personal bubble.

She's told that they can't get her in the see a chest doctor (I assume that's a cardiologist). I'm very concerned for her. I hope she's okay.

[@happydays1336]

I'm in the U.S. and have gotten excellent E.R. care when I needed it. One time my cardiologist called ahead and had a bed ready for me and I was rolled immediately from the E.R. to the cardiac unit. The next morning I had an emergency pacemaker put in. (My doctor said I would have been dead in one or two days if I hadn't had one. )There have been a few times when I was younger when I wasn't as sick and I had to wait longer. I understood that people are not seen on a first-come first-served basis. It's who's in most need who gets the care first. This is why there are sometimes long waits for non-critical patients--like for a child whose mother brought him in with an earache. The wait time discussion reminds me of when I was in labor with my son. As I was being rolled to the delivery room a woman yelled out, "That's. Not. Fair! I was here first!!!!"

[@happydays1336]

Two other E.R. experiences. Six months before the pacemaker incident I almost fainted and could barely walk. My heart was going so fast I couldn't even count it. I went to the E.R. and waited about 5 or 10 minutes. When my name was called I went to the triage nurse. Immediately they put me in a bed in the E.R., hooked me up to a heart monitor, put in an I.V. in and then a nurse and an EMT stood by my bed to help the doctor administer Adenosine which stopped my heart for a brief moment. When it started back up again the rhythm was normal. I saw the cardiologist within a week and two weeks later I had a heart ablation. Another time I thought I was having a stroke. My husband took me to the E.R. and I told the guy at the front desk that I thought I was having one. They whisked me into a cubicle in the E.R., gave me aspirin and put in an I.V. I went in immediately for an ultrasound of my carotid artery and a brain MRI. It turned out that I was only dehydrated which was very embarrassing.

Why wont she open her eyes? Rather suspect.... Offhand, I'd say a migraine since ECG was normal and exam didn't show stroke

[@sunnidays]

she was diagnosed with a type of migraine not stroke, not heart attack, she did not present like a typical stroke or heart attack patient (not they all present the same, but not opening her eyes in a very well lit room is a sign of migraine

[@tammysarrazin7078]

all the different areas i think this is one of my favorite surgery i like them all but this one i love the doctors more lol hugssss from Canada

I have Fibromyalgia it doesn’t look like the way she is presenting but seems like a heart attack 200%

The woman with the white short hair strikes me as a professional patient.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Do you mean hypochondriac?

[@ivorybow]

Women's heart attack symptoms are completely different from men's, which tragically leads to death because they are not taken seriously as a heart attack presenting, due to men's symptoms being the standard indicators.

[@sunnidays]

what makes you say that seeing her for apx 5 minutes on a video and not knowing her personally

[@me-xx2gl]

This reeks of mid 20th century country doctor medicine.

@@eileenmcdonald1599 Well usually heart and brain emergencies are treated as such and also we can file malpractice suits if we think not treated accordingly. It's a slippery slope here in the US.

You get what you pay for. People make comments about our health care, yet have no issue using our specialists and coming to the states for specialized care.

Yes seriously.

To the idiot that got his legs crushed, totally your fault. If you didn't lock out and tag out the machine you were working on before you put a single body part in it, then you deserve everything you got. As a maintenance electrician, you bloody well should have known better.

Why doesn’t the doctors ever mention diet ? Ask about the food that the patients eat
