That's nice! And very generous of you to think, bc I've had residents (also work at a nursing home) who just straight up treat everyone like the hired help.

That said, I still remember the lady who treated everyone like her personal servants, once smiling at a joke I made in the middle of the night, and it made my night.

@@jennylynwall3424 Yes, I feel exactly the same way. Everything you just said, I completely relate. The craziest part is the worst substances like alcohol and cigarettes are perfectly legal and socially acceptable, even though they are considerably worse. Even in extreme excess. It makes no sense. I've gone through the same thing with Pain Management, and moved on to Dependence Management. Which is ENTIRELY different than addiction. Unfortunately not many people understand that. I also believe in the right to choose. From medications, to legal human euthanasia. I'm not there yet, I'm hanging on for dear life, for my family's sake. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want that option or think about it for later down the road. Eventually my diseases will literally eat up too much of my body, and my tolerance will make the medication worthless, which is why I'm so careful. But again, that should be on me. It should be all about education, oversight, and options. Not the government deciding my literal quality of life. It's the difference between life and death. Whether you can continue to suffer in agony, or just finally end it. I know it's a heavy subject, but I'm sure you understand.

[@NYCTOSEE]

My mom is from The Bronx and was born Dec 27, 1983. She was born with Cerebral Palsy because my grandma had a healthcare card and she went into labor Christmas night. She was thrown into the back room and the doctors and nurses proceeded to ignore her and drink. Since she had a healthcare card nobody took her that seriously. Those people were lesser since doctors and nurses didn’t get paid for treating those people I believe. Basically she felt like something was wrong but they kept ignoring her and when my mom was born she had Cerebral Palsy in both legs. My grandma blamed the doctors but they said it wasn’t their fault and she couldn’t take it to court because she was extremely poor. My mom heard about it years later and in 2002 she sued the hospital. It took until 2009 that the case was finally complete and she ended up winning and the hospital got shut down. There is an article but for personal safety reasons I won’t link it, though if you wanna search it’s a joint case and a NY times lawsuit. It sucks how much hospitals can get away with unless threatened with a lawsuit. ESP in the 80s. It really sucked but yeah just felt like sharing.

It’s been years since I’ve had a look at my actual charts, especially since everything is digital now, but I used to do that too. I’d look to see what kinda stuff they would write about me and what they were telling each other, especially since I like to joke and mess with my nurses. I usually have a handful of signs on my door saying things like “keep door closed” or “warning: possible dog inside” so those can sometimes give me an insight into what the staff is telling/warning each other about regarding me and my room.

My nurse didn't get the balloon all the way deflated after my c-section and I don't know if there's an actual correlation between that and really bad UTI's! That's the only thing my Drs and I can think of ...oh well, I have pregnancy/labor/birth stories that'll make you cringe.

“When you see a child crawling in the hallway” last time I was in the hospital, I couldn’t crawl! I broke both bones in my right leg and my tibia was a corkscrew break 🙃

[@NewChannelSwitch]

@PALI PALI Literally how

[@keketski5430]

@PALI PALI maybe the persons leg got caught in a machine or household item

[@keketski5430]

@PALI PALI listen it could be anything just because its usually one thing doesn’t mean its always that thing

[@keketski5430]

@PALI PALI could be other things still. Im not trying to fight but I’m just sayin there could have been other reasons like maybe the person stuck their legs in a place where they couldn’t get them out and the parents panicked and that happened.

[@lisakukla459]

I can confirm the blanket thing. I'm not elderly yet, but I was so cold in the cicu, and beyond scared. Couldn't leave my dad's side. When the nurse brought me a warm blanket I almost broke down in tears. Just the fact that they noticed and went out of their way for me when there were so many more important things happening all around. He didn't make it, but those nurses took such good care of Dad, and they really went the extra mile to take care of me & my mom those 2 weeks, too.

[@deniseholcomb2109]

True story: One time when I was in the hospital they had accidentally served me expired milk, which made me sick, they sent someone from HR to find out if I was going to sue or not. Really? Over spoiled milk? I was as much to blame as them because I didn’t look at the date before I drank it. It was an accident anyway! 😏

[@rhiannonpinnick4481]

@PALI PALI as much as I agree, pls don't call them stupid. They probably didn't know about it. But I agree they were 100% at fault and not the person who got sick

Spoiled milk can kill you! You should have sued.

Depending on how sick you got, probably not worth a lawsuit. Lawsuits are Expensive and time consuming. But the hospital definitely should have written off your medical expenses.

Why should the patient be partially to blame, the hospital is caring for people with varying degrees of consciousness and ability.

I wish I had found your videos when I was in the hospital for a month. I would have played them loudly. We have a blanket warmer in my local hospital and it would annoy me when they wouldn’t put them under the other covers to warm you up. Our warm blankets are actually flannel sheets and a lot of nurses don’t fully unfold them. When I was in the hospital I would mark my hospital issue socks to keep the bottoms on the floor.

You, my sir, are simply awesome! I love your commentary and your specific humor!! Keep up the great work! And, as an old white lady, I LOVE the warm blankets!

[@NoBodyKnows514]

I always feel so bad for being at the hospital that even when I'm literally there for not being able to walk, when the nurses ask me if I can walk I'm like:"yes, of course, just a bit slow" then they realize, the 30 secs walk is gonna take 15 mins 🙈 Once I was pregnant and as per my usual pregnancies I had hyperemesis gravidarum and anemia and VERY out of breath (I was 10 weeks only so ER). The nurse tells the radiologist:"she said she could walk, but she can barely breathe, she's been passing the whole way here, get her a wheelchair for the walk back" 😅 I think I made it worst by trying to make it easier.

While in the ER and waiting to go into surgery, "they" gave me something to start drying up as much saliva and moisture in my mouth. They wouldn't even let me use lip balm to moisten my lips. It was such a maddening sensation. Couldn't wait to be rolled into surgery.

When I gave birth to my son that night I was soooo cold my entire body was shaking and my teeth were chattering so hard I thought I'd break a tooth. Apparently, this is common after giving birth because your body temperature is out of whack once you aren't growing a baby anymore. Let me say, the warmed blanket was AMAZING. I became a little old Asian lady.

I received a warmed blanket as i was heading in for a c-section. They were, like, only moments away from administering the spinal block and delightfully bamboozled. I had no idea blanket warmers existed. The only one I’ve had, so far

Love your stories. Retired night shift supervisor/ED/Pharmacy/ IV person at a small hospital in Missouri. Most of your stories hit close to home. We had a pre-teen who was on dialysis while waiting to get big enough for his dad to donate a kidney. The kid did not have kidneys. He came in a couple of times a month with headaches due to his B/P being REALLY elevated. One time, when he was in the ED about 3am, the Dr came in and asked when was the last time this boy had urinated. The kid didn't say a word. Just looked at this Dr (who knew this kid quite well). He sat there with a snarky look, that 10 y/o's do so well, Dad was looking at the floor shaking his head, trying not to laugh. Doc finally realized what he had said. Priceless.

[@WomanRoaring]

As someone who's spent way too much time in the hospital the past few years the warm blanket is so important. So the "blankets" are very thin and like a thick sheet so having 2 warm ones is like, ahhh. Also with the saline IV in your arm that cools your body down, you just feel cold so having a warm blanket makes you feel better!

This was attached to groin artery/port and one in side of leg going threw me up into my neck to re oxygenate my blood so it's circulating my own blood threw my own body, then out into machine to add oxygen then put re circulating back in my body, you gotta be med induced coma but there is no set time on how long each person takes to re oxygenate, some a week some months to a year) so they were worried of wake up and there's also no guessing how far cognitively a person will be behind and immediately when I opened my eyes and started to say to myself .... Where the hell are the ppl.... Why are there these ppl here ... Where the fuck am I man? I had ppl close visiting me while unconscious that happened to be right there shocked as hell to see me wake up and immediately 1 person holds up photo in frame of my grandpa, man who raised me from womb to 6 yrs old that I had as 1 primary most special relationship with and asked do I know who he is and don't move don't freak but don't try to touch anything let me explain, ... So I was like thinking ok talk b*tch and my 2 sons there she asked if I know each of them and yes yes then to half sister there in room with photo of herself to ask if I knew , yes I nod a lil and relief sighs from a bunch of ppl then bam a nurse is there untieing lose ass gauze restraints and says where I am 2 hrs north of everything going gray, I'm understanding coma dream wasnt real ? What? And then don't try to touch your neck you have treacheotomy but don't worry it's reversible but at least gonna be month or so at best, you can't do and control what you could before don't worry we will reteach you, this is watered down version of what went down when the er dr in city you live in last was talking when the world turned grey and went away. They gradually told me how bad it was, that I coded out and they had a panic and rushed from everywhere to jump on me and hand pump oxygen into me forceably while I was waiting for life flight or special big ass ambulance that is called icu/er on wheels that has escorted services to haul ass as fast and lights and as sirens on pre cleared highway route type thing and which ever got there first was taking me, it was like a movie every one said. So I totally thank the drs and nurses and cnas that were 24/7 by my side and my sons who warriored up and lived with shit situation cuz I never put into writing who I determined would have my kids in death or emergency, duck it and through logic aside and let them go with blood family member who had 3 kids taken away with 1 (me) she said no not even gonna try to jump threw hoops to prove I can have another chance to be a mother and cuz the state said she would have to leave her abusive , sexually perverted husband but they'd even help her financially and with housing but she asked where to sign to sign me as an abandoned/orphaned child status which is no trying hell no my man is 1st and this is nonsense she's the victim bs, they straight let her cuz blood relation walk away from hospital with my kids while still married to pervert and take them to their home indefinitely no questions asked, screw the person I vocally made known for years as the one to take my kids in emergency, no papers no plan in your favor. Always do the dirty painful process of getting legally notorized paper of who kids go to 1st choice 2nd and 3rd even plus who you want your stuff going to, valuable or not, make it clear your wishes. Don't screw kids over. I have multiple ppl keep each a copy with them at thier home of noterized copy of my wishes, and no circumstance exsits where they can go to so and so piont blank period.
