My mother is in her late 80's. She was always independent but a few weeks ago she could barely walk and her blood pressure was around 180 systolic. Her BP meds didn't seem to be working. I called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. They did blood work, CT scan and EKG and she was diagnosed with hypertension. After TEN hours sitting on a stretcher (rooms were all full) in the ER she was finally discharged with her blood pressure still at 175 systolic. The nurse gave my mother medication and said it was going down but it wasn't reassuring. The nurse asked if we needed a wheelchair and of course I said yes but after another 20 minutes of waiting I couldn't take it anymore and I carried my mother on my back out of the ER, walked across to another building, down an elevator to the parking lot. NOBODY stopped and asked if I needed help. I passed through the front desks, paramedics and various staff were just staring and talking to each other. This experience made me feel like I was actually living in a third world country.

I promise you reader I’m not making this up. Four years ago my doctor suspected I had prostate cancer and sent me for a biopsy. Not a painful procedure, but the intensive antibiotics destroyed my digestive system and it took me months to get back to a normal gut bacteria level. Incidentally, I did not have prostate cancer. A year later after a physical my doctor informed me that my urine/blood tests indicated I had hyperthyroidism, a possible heart condition (high blood pressure) and borderline diabetes. After numerous $$$ additional tests it was found that I didn’t have any of these conditions. Haven’t been back for a physical in two-years. By-the-way, I’m 72- years old, swim 1 mile every day, 80% vegetarian, and I still work in a profession I love and keeps me physically active. My next diagnoses from a doctor will be “Yes, he’s dead.” Until then…to hell with them and the American Medical System. It’s called “a medical practice” for a good reason. Stay healthy🤓❤️👍

I have not been to a doctor in over 25 years two weeks ago. I tore my meniscus in my knee or at least that’s what the ortho emergency people said they requested that I have an MRI. They had already x-rayed it. They gave me a brace for my leg so I wouldn’t bend my kneeand sent me home until the MRI was scheduled. I never went back. It’s healing and I’m not believing that I tore a meniscus. I think I pulled the muscle but nevertheless they charge me over $500 for x-ray five minutes with the doctor and a brace.

[@marieberberich4445]

I had driven myself to the hospital thinking I was having an attack of diverticulitis. (I am an RN.) I sat in the E.R. waiting room for an hour and no one ever called me into triage. It was Christmas Day. I finally got up and went to the admitting desk and told the woman I was leaving. She could have cared less. A few months later, I got a statement from my Medicare supplement plan telling me what they had paid on my behalf. What popped up was the very same hospital showing that they had submitted a bill for almost $1,400 and been paid - when I hadn't even been seen! So I got in my car and drove down to said hospital and went to the E.R. The same admitting sec'y was there and I asked her why she had billed me when I hadn't even been seen. Her mouth kind of hung agape and then I said, what were you doing? Billing me for sitting in the waiting room? She was almost in tears and said yes. Now, I know the actual billing paperwork shouldn't even be initiated until an employee comes to see you once you are "roomed." That didn't happen here. So I figured I'd fix them. I went to the main lobby of the hospital, stood there and said in a very loud voice that the hospital was defrauding Medicare patients. All of a sudden, it became an ant-hive. Some employee came up and tried to silence me and I said "I want to be taken to admin. I was billed for care that I never received. So, they took me there. I told them what had happened, showed them the payment that had gone to them and then asked what my vital signs were for that visit - because I had never been triaged -.not so much as a blood pressure. Of course, they couldn't provide it. This just goes to show you what kind of things go on once your back is turned.

The last time I had a PE, my new PCP screaming at me for not having a GYN. My former PCP specialized in women’s health. I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. She only listened to my heart. Then put something in the EMR, got up and left the room. My insurance company was billed for 13 minutes for an initial PE visit. I called my insurance company to report the physician was committing insurance fraud. I sent in a detailed report of what she actually did vs what she had documented. I am a nurse and I also have an associate degree in medical coding. I challenged everything that was given a code and not done. Did I get some phone calls!! I insisted the visit be coded again and the PCP’s documentation of her visits be reviewed with my insurance company. Needless to say I left the practice, when I was sent a survey, I mentioned the issue of poor patient care, being gaslighted and overcharging insurance companies.

My mother just turned 94 years old. I live with her. I don't do anything for her unless she absolutely can't do it herself. I do her grocery shopping and driving for her and that's pretty much the extent of "helping" her. She puts her groceries away after I bring them into the house. She does her own bathing, grooming, cooking, cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, walking to the mailbox, sweeping the patio, etc. I mention this because, in this video, Dr Dhand talks about how elderly patients admitted to hospital pretty much lie on their backs the entire time they are there which only worsens their general health. If you have an elderly loved one in your life, the worst thing you can do for them is pamper them to death. Make them get up and get on with their lives! Keep a close eye on them and only get involved when you see them beginning to neglect something due to their continued aging. I know my mama won't live forever and I pray she dies happy and peacefully in her sleep during the night...

Nurses aren’t as good as they used to be. Now people are becoming Nurses for the money.

[@ChickadeeBird]

very true and sad. When I worked at a hospital, I was shocked at how many nurses mistreated other hospital staff, who were not nurses or doctors. They often mocked patients. I used to have so much respect for the medical community, overall. That changed at least 15 years ago. I can’t imagine how it might be now. I was told by other coworkers that it is quite common in hospitals. Sadly, was not just nurses … plenty others were very mean about fellow coworkers and gossip was very common. I just expected nurses to have more heart! That showed me how much nurses are in it more for money and power. A good nurse with genuine empathy and love is very admirable and appreciated by me. I know some patients can be tough as well.

[@ChristysChannelYall]

This is somewhat true and I’ll explain my observations but first I have to say that I can’t imagine anyone would want to go into this profession just for money as there are way easier ways to make money. This job is VERY taxing mentally and physically. I’ve been a RN for 24 years. I quit working in a hospital and now do home health so that I can be autonomous as much as possible and care for one human being at a time. I can provide better care that way. Before I left in 2016 I was already seeing some of the new nurses with an attitude of indifference. I was preceptor and remember having to explain to them that they needed to introduce themselves when they walked into a room and explain what they are doing as they provide care. Your patient is a person who deserves to be treated as such. It was disheartening. Many conflicts and angry altercations can be resolved before they even happen with good communication. This was what I saw was sorely lacking in the newer nurses.

[@melisherwood5300]

When my husband was in hospital I got into terrible rows with the doctors; they were flabbergasted that I dared to challenge them - not to mention the “nutritionist”. What slop they served him! I brought a blender and made him nutritious smoothies with organic fruit/veg, ground flax, and quite a lot of other super foods. Because he was older and very sick, I felt that there was very little effort to help him. It was almost like they had given up on him from day one. Horrible horrible experience. Sadly he trusted the system but this didn’t keep him alive. I am totally traumatised by the whole system.

Thank you Doctor Suneel. I am a 66 and a half year old female in the U.S. Southern California to be exact. I had an awesome, down to earth doctor for about 15 years who was one of the very few in my area that ‘made his own decisions’ because he COULD - having his own private practice - and carefully ‘protecting’ his rightful decisions with whatever government required ‘regulations’ through the asinine tests, etc to remain ‘just within the lines ‘. I realize now that he was a functional medicine doctor who understood that individual patient treatment was not a ‘one size fits all’ thing. Unfortunately (for me) he SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY retired early at the end of 2020.. just a couple of years before he would have reached his full retirement age. At my December appointment he said “see you next year”. But, alas, there was no next year for him practicing medicine. And I’m sure we all know ‘why’. I attempted to get set up with another primary…. But they weren’t their ‘own’ persons.. but answered to an ‘above’ master. I miss him but know he did the right thing being a self thinker and doer and all. ‘They’ would not have allowed him to be true to himself during that ‘bad flu’ period. Needless to say.. it’s been over 3 years since I’ve been to a doctor. But guess what? SOMEBODY has recently referred me to a radiology place that I haven’t been to for at least 7 years for a mammogram?!? Seriously? I mean like who? They certainly don’t know me! My girls seem fine to me… but even if they aren’t… I don’t want to know about them or anything else until its TOO LATE. I only want a prognosis of 6 months or less for ANYTHING that might happen to me health wise. Unless I need comfort care I don’t want ANY ‘treatments’ from the medical establishment. I’m not rich. But what I DO have, I refuse to voluntarily transfer to the medical industrial complex for the ‘privilege’ of getting to live AND SUFFER longer. Thank you for everything you share with us!

My philosophy is take good care of yourself; educate yourself on proper exercise, healthy foods that you should be eating, and processed foods that you should be staying away from. It’s also very important to get a good eight hours sleep each night on a regular schedule. I personally don’t eat anything after 8 PM, and no food before 8 AM, that results in a 12 hour fast as I sleep. The once a year wellness check with my PCP can be stressful as I need to keep reminding him that I am not going to start taking prescription drugs, nor will I agree to injections for something I don’t have a problem with. I’m 82, in good health, and accept the fact that we are not here forever.

I work in the healthcare system. My advice, do everything you can to take care of your body. Eat right and exercise. Avoid doctors (pharmaceutical reps) and absolutely avoid the hospital if possible. The last time I saw a doctor, they tried to prescribe a statin. No thanks. The statins alone have made pharmaceutical companies rich. There is no real research to back up statins.

[@voiceofreason7856]

Thanks for that confirmation on Statins. I was prescribed statins YEARS ago. When I asked "How long will I be on these ?" the reply was " for the rest of your life"!!! Well about 6 years ago, I started having 'thyroid issues', and was put on medication for that, too .Then my doctor sort of 'let the cat out of the bag' by saying to me, one day " I think your thyroid may be causing your high cholesterol problems" Well, WHY was I still on statins, then, if they obviously weren't working ? It was like my body fighting against itself. The statins removing the cholesterol, and my thyroid trying to replace it ! I did a bit of research on statins. Back in the mid 1980s a 300 cholesterol count was considered ' high normal'. SO they 'changed the math', and suddenly anything over 200 was just considered "high cholesterol and you really should be on a statin !" Overnight, millions of people suddenly had 'high cholesterol', and were put on statins - what a money maker they've been for big pharma over the years, as you said !!! And they never tell you the serious side effects like muscle weakness, joint pain, chance of developing diabetes, dementia etc. which makes ME wonder about the RISING rates OF dementia in the elderly : is it the years of being on statins doing it ?!!! You have to wonder !!! So, I took myself off BOTH medications coming 3 or 4 years ago, and let my body decide what was best for it. I eat a healthy diet, am a healthy weight, and as a senior I am on ZERO medications, and never felt better. I take Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc daily to boost my immune system, and that's it. And I avoid doctors and hospitals like the plague, itself... And I also avoided the 'C. jab' like the plague, too, after researching it !! Turns out I was right about that, too. :)

@@voiceofreason7856 I'd recommend reading The Great Cholesterol Myth, by Bowden and Sinatra, or The Cholesterol Con by Kendrick. Bottom line, the whole cholesterol hypothesis is junk science. It was born in ignorance and has somehow managed to continue despite tons of data that contradict it. There are also many good KZbin videos on the subject (e.g., Paul Mason, Ken Berry) as well as lots of research on the subject that no one ever hears about. For instance, did you know that there is plenty of research (dozens of large studies) that show having high cholesterol when you're over 60 is associated with lower mortality? Most people have no idea, because the medical system (and the food industry, and the pharmaceutical industry) still pushes "cholesterol is bad." Cholesterol is an essential ingredient required for every cell in your body. Without cholesterol, every one of us would be dead in minutes. (The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholz, tells the ugly story of how and why cholesterol and fat were demonized.)

Trying to find something to eat wad awful. They sent up a breakfast tray with 127 grams of carbs. I drank the coffee. One day all I had was a tiny cup of lettuce, a stalk of broccoli and a banana. Salad dressings all had seed oils and sugar. If food is medicine they're poisoning the patients. I was do glad to get home and be able to eat organic vegetables, low glycemic fruit, wild caught fish, grass fed beef and healthy fats. The acute intervention saved my life but the food was life threatening. I am a retired physician and I an ashamed of the lack of nutritional training among practicing medical providers.

My mother saw a nutritionist after being diagnosed with prediabetes. They examined her diet and thought her obesity was a mystery. I told her it's the cereal/granola/seed oils! She didn't listen to me😫

I quit taking my statin drug because my cholesterol numbers remained unchanged. I eat well and rarely eat red meat (can't afford it on Social Security!). High cholesterol runs in my family and most of us die in our 80s. Still, they try to get me to take them and in my chart they listed me as "Non-compliant" as if I was committed some sort of offense.

[@noeldeal8087]

I won't take them either... They caused muscle degeneration(Rabdinomyosis) in my hubby years ago in just a few months. They cause COQ10 deficiency and many doctors know this but don't tell the patient to supplement with COQ10...

I have a friend that tool them because the doc recommended them. He had horrid side effects and stopped them after labs showed his numbers didn't decrease. He is so much better now! (and while he was on them he had a heart attack)@@noeldeal8087

Anyone who doesn’t get flu shots or any of their treatments are listed as non compliant and are put as a lesser priority then those who do accept their drugs and treatments and follow all their orders like good little sheep…I fixed the so called autoimmune disorder I was diagnosed with in 2014 by researching nutrition and altering my foods etc…no more issues

Dr Dhand, how I love your common sense advice regarding healthcare. I am a recently retired RN, having worked in hospitals as a cardiac nurse and then many years as a home care nurse, both in the community and also doing discharge planning in the hospital for home care. It is appalling how many medications people are taking. I used to joke (not really) with my patients and tell them the limit is 10 pills and if the doctor prescribed one more, he/she had to take one away. Patients would come out of the hospital having undergone surgery and have 4 or 5 new meds at discharge. Many times, instead of recovering, their health would decline. Many times I put in a referral for a Geriatric NP to see these patients and lo and behold- first action was to decrease the number of medications! I totally agree if one is admitted to a hospital, they need to have someone with them to as you say "watch like a hawk" In my area of upstate NY I am seeing many doctors leaving practices to go on their own in a concierge type practice, so they can really treat patients as individuals and not according to protocols. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

This is what happened after Standard Oil was broken up. Rockefeller went into the pharmecuicul industry as almost all the pills use oil to be made. In addition, he 'bought' out all the medical schools and started pushing this 'treat you patients with drugs' vs actually finding out the root issue at hand with their health. You can't make any money if you heal your patient, but if you get them hooked on drugs for the rest of their lives, well you see how much money can be made. PURE EVIL, at thi point I'm convinced he was a devil worshipper like all the elites and hollywood.

My son and I moved to central Mexico. I'm 65. We've already had better health care just paying out of pocket....even a few house calls for a bacterial infection.

Some doctors have a god complex; one said to me 'you be the patient and I will be the doctor' when I questioned his proposed treatment; needless to say I never saw him again.

[@musicteacher5757]

mini_bakers, I've met a few who were like that. My last doctor seemed offended that I wanted to control my asthma medications. Several years ago I read an article written by a doctor, his great idea was to ask the patient what they wanted. That this idea was "new and exciting" proves how bad the medical field has gotten.

[@emusic96785]

Possible solution: For patients to speak out and not think that their one voice/complaint won't make a difference. Our collective voices become a majority for change.

You're right. If we don't demand better care it's a low bar they set.

My sweet Mother, retired nurse, gave her life (unknowingly) in a hospital - causing me to begin waking up. She had paid into her Blue Cross plan for many years - it was supposed to be Medicare gap coverage, but actually was the wrong coverage so they never paid anything. But they always accepted her monthly checks for this "coverage". When she was finally hospitalized, I got inches thick EOB statements and the bottom line was always $0 paid by BC.

I have a knee injury, from a fall. After 3 years, I finally went to see an orthopedist. He told me pain killers, partial or full knee replacement. He offered a shot, but then didn’t give me a shot and sent me for an xray. He told me it was arthritis. I said, “No it isn’t. I’ve had arthritis for at least 15 years. THIS is from a fall. He said, “Well, maybe it is.” I should’ve probably had an MRI. I occasionally chat with a radiologist, who I happen to cross paths with. He said it sounds more like $$$. No kidding. Plus, most of the people I’ve spoken with, about their knee replacement - are absolutely miserable with it. My entire knee isn’t even in pain. It’s just the inner hinge. I also have a complicated menstrual history. But last year, I suddenly bled like crazy. My GP was SUPER EXCITED about me getting my uterus snatched out. I also went to a practice that’s for women. Even the biopsy procedure is barbaric and torturous. But everyone’s all excited. They’re excited - about getting paid! Funny thing, is that no one mentioned the possibility of perimenopause.🤦🏽‍♀️

Very well said. As a practicing EM physician, I would like to second everything you mentioned. The system is collapsing.

I lost 20 pounds, exercised more, cut sugar, salt, fat. I took milk thistle, NAC, turmeric, cranberry, enzymes, lemon water, probiotics. I saw Dr. Dhand's video about unecessary tests and referrals right before my doctor visit 6 months ago. Last week I redid the blood tests. All of my tests were Normal! All the doctor wrote in my chart was "Labs unremarkable.". No praise or encouragement for me. He and his corporate colleagues must be sad that this fish slipped the hook! No additional copays, bloodwork, MRI, billing insurance company, referral to another another specialist, etc. Thank you Dr. Dhand, Dr. Google, and Dr. KZbin!

Glad you took charge to recover from fatty liver. Most liver doctors tell pts just to avoid fatty foods, alcohol and Tylenol. They do not mention that sugar and high fructose corn syrup along with vegetable seed oils are so inflammatory so need to cut those back… even excessive fruit should be curtailed in fatty liver as excess fructose ( fruit sugar) gets converted to fatty streaks in liver. The liver docs don’t even mention milk thistle which is nature’s miracle when it comes to liver health. I am so happy you took charge of your health instead of remaining a victim to a collapsing system.
