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.
That is really sad and very unacceptable for your mother’s care. That hospital should have never discharged her with her b/p higher that when she arrived.
In Lima, Peru people will help you at the hospital. I used to pay 18% and have healthcare public (universal healthcare) and private (from work) Also, we have college without tuition :)
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🤓❤️👍
It's ironic that while you were being overtested and treated, others are begging to be assessed because they know something is wrong, yet those patients are ignored and told it's all in their head until it's too late. The system needs to find some balance and simple common sense.
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.
Our healthcare system is an absolute corporate scam and and utter failure. Take good care of yourself as your best hope for staying healthy. Everyone should watch this video and take seriously what he is saying.
Everything is an absolute corporate scam - food, medicine, the automobile industry, religious institutions - you name it. The paradigm of producers and consumers in modern society rewards financial success, not existential results.

They now ask the patients that are on Medicare about their mental health at every visit and it gets charged out as an extravagant evaluation when it’s literally. A questionnaire they never even look at
Nice, good for you, that's what I'm gonna do. It's never too late to play around with diet or anything else of great change for that matter, I've been monkeying with the food thing so crazily, but a while ago I just bought a bag of our family chocolate-covered peanuts in these clusters lol I'm going home to make a strawberry banana smoothie, probably got pesticides in it lol a travel everywhere by foot, I got a lot of injuries, I worked out today by the lake what's my gimp elbows, good to be in fresh Air and out of the factory air
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.
WHAT is it with emotional, triggered doctors who scream at you for not loading up on more doctors? Why is it they make it so personal? This is one reason why I haven't gone to anyone in years. They're utterly worthless.
Same as to me at the pharmacy. I called the pharmacy in January and then March again. I am no longer taking Xiidra due to burying, burning and other side effects. They said ok to stop it. A few months ago I got a bill from Medicare they paid for the above medicine 1400 and I paid 145.
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.
I understand fully. I'm guessing you are in the UK because this is exactly my experience, albeit a few years ago now. My husband died in the hospital, which he dedicated 40 years of his working life to as a doctor. I was a nurse but retired by then. The experience was horrific and traumatic, to the point I moved away from the area to avoid ever having to attend that hospital again.
Read the Obamacare papers. This is exactly what its plan is. Once beyond a certain point you’re helpless. You’re not worth the time or effort or expense to care for you. All these meds are bandaids to keep you from real health care. Oh I mean the disease management industry.
Yes, I agree with you to a large extent. Retired Registered Nurse. I loved caring for people. Out of the field 10 years. Too much paperwork. Not enough time for patient education. We would be reprimanded for overtime. The dollar is the bottom line. But, I loved what I did.
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.
You are right on!!! I'm 70 yrs old, A retired RN, cardiovascular surgical nurse, worked in all areas of the hospital, with retiring from oncology/hospice, 4 yrs ago after 35 years of practice. Fortunately I also have a bachelor's of science in home economics education, which gave me unmeasurable nutritional information. I'm on one medication for blood pressure and found a great internal physician who is not connected to the hospital group. I have always eaten well, and was criticized for only going for healthcare when I was sick. The key is preventative lifestyle, but, I will get and take what I need if it becomes necessary. Thank you Dr. Dhand for your illuminating podcasts.
1. Pushing unnecessary meds. 2. Hospital bills/outrageous charges. 3. Probability of getting “sucked into the system”. 4. Admission to hospital/unhealthy food/medical error. 5. System won’t be there when you need them.
I would add. Hospital based infections.. I have heard that the estimate is 10% of inpatient admissions and they think this is ok, when other countries, patients stay twice as long and get the same amount of infections... STAFFING IS A JOKE UNLESS there is a union... and other things as well... Just remember our people who care for you in the hospital, the proletariat have had no raises in the last 40 years so their attitude toward their work suffers, as there is no pride in it or satisfaction when you have to work outrageous hours to live... AND NO, not all unions are bad, but all states with RIGHT TO WORK HATE THEIR proletariat..
Same here! I retired early, sold my house and paid cash for a nice house in the country with my three wonderful aging dogs and my husband of 42 years! We are happy and stress free! Healthcare is a no me since it went from the hands of the doctors to the hand of the corporate corrupt evil CEOs! I could go on but I prefer not to!
Theres a video about it to make people sick n I learned from the book A GIFT FROM THE STARS ALIEN RACES IT SAYS IN THERE THEY NEVER WANT TO CURE ANYONE BUT TO MAKE PEOPLE SICK.THERES ANOTHER BOOK IT IS CALLED NATURAL CURES THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT, IT SAYS ON THAT BOOK THEY DONT WANT TO CURE ANYONE BAD FOR THE BUSINESS.
The several times my wife has been admitted, I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to put a sleep hours order in place to stop them waking her up every hour and a half. They induced ICU psychosis in her twice
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...
This is true. When the plandemic was in full blown mode my job laid us all off for almost a month and that's when all my health issues started. That month of doing absolutely nothing destroyed my body, and I learned the hard way how useless doctors were after countless visits, gaslighting, tossing me to and fro. I finally started looking into alternative medicine and I'm finally getting better. I'm only 35.
@@livingwell5892 I'm glad you're feeling better and I pray you continue to improve. 🙏🏻 Sitting/lying still for prolonged periods is a slow, insidious death. Not only that, it makes us feel unhappy! Remember, even if we only take baby steps, movement makes us happy!

They certainly screwed my dying husband over royally. Had him believing they cared and knew what was best throughout his cancer care. Even when I told my husband not to take or approve certain meds he'd say "you're not a doctor, why do you think you know more than them?". I said, "It's not that I know more, but I love you and would never suggest anything I feel will harm you.". On his deathbed he said he wished he'd listened to me. He had so many meds pumping in him (2 IV trees filled and some branches overlapping on both). These doctors are legal serial killers. I fear when my hospital time comes, I really do.
Our doctors are employees now,not self employed. They have been handed protocols from hospital's management not any health specialist. It's all about financial extraction from patients, doctors, staff, insurance
@gg-wk2ww That protocol is.called "Standard of.Care". As long as they follow it, they will be protected from being sued for Medical Malpractice even if the patient dies, is seriously injured or disabled from the medication/treatment.
@@karimaogden3875excellent response 👏 👌 👍. Standard of care. A qualified doctor unable to use their own personal experience to provide possible best outcome 😢
The extreme greed will help kill this deeply corrupt system. Many of them must know this, but will milk it til the end. I think change will come when enough ppl drop out as I have, and millions of others (& growing). Many drop out involuntarily because of deductibles, copays, etc even if they could get insurance. I wonder how many docs, nurses & other staff would want their own service??
A medical system that has as its reason for existence, the profit motive couldn’t possibly be one in which people are paying for research to cure serious diseases. There’s no motivation to do this. If you cure the disease you kill the cash cow of prescribing prescriptions for drugs that tamper down symptoms of the disease. So there’s a huge motivation to not cure diseases to just treat symptoms with very expensive medication’s. This is what a hyper capitalist system gets you. 😢
It's the same with auto insurance!!! If you drive ok and someone else hits you it's they're responsibility to pay, but now even they don't pay and you will walk home from the auto rental place!!!
I recently went in for an MRI which revealed a labral tear in my shoulder which is bothering me from an old horse riding accident. When my doctor asked if I was still on antidepressants I said no. He looked confused when I said the only daily pill I take is a multivitamin. He asked how I’m feeling, I told him I feel fantastic. He seemed surprised and asked what I’ve been doing, I said I quit the prescriptions and started running. I’ve never felt better.
Yes, I've had this happen. I am 55 and take no medications, which the doctor cannot believe. Then when I go for a physical they get onto the computer and pull up some old list of meds that I was on YEARS age and ask if I still take them. Even though every time they say that those meds will be removed from the computer, the next time I go for a physical the same meds get pulled up again. So annoying. Mine were depression meds too, I feel so much better without them.
I had a knee surgeon tell me once: if I look at your knee hard enough I will find something wrong. I never forgot this comment. Be care people. This Doctor is spot on.
I was the executor of my parents estate as well as their caretaker in their elderly years. Both mom and dad worked hard, saved their money and paid their taxes on time not obtaining as much as a parking ticket as a reference to their character. They spent every last penny on medications, hospital bills and nursing home charges and died broke. Meanwhile in other rooms were the unemployed or illegal aliens that got the same standard of treatment, same medications and a no balance sheet from the state when they are taken to the nursing home. This is so wrong and I don't have the answer of how to fix it.
Right on Dr. Dhand! My husband went for a hearing test and before they would suggest a hearing aid, they wanted to send him for a $10K MRI of his head to make sure a tumor was not the cause of his hearing loss. Needless to say he canceled that test and went to Costco for hearing aid which is working out great for him. Pays to do your own research!
Good grief! That reminds me of when I was in Thailand (a long holiday) and I got some sort of tummy bug. I felt really rought so went to a private hospital but I checked my travel insurance and the thousands I was quoted for an extended stay wasn't covered, so I paid for what I'd had (which was extremely overpriced), checked myself out, got on my moped and drove myself to a pharmacy. The pharmacist gave me a couple of things costing the equivalent of under £10 and I took them, along with the water from a fresh coconut, and I was right as rain in 48 hours. Phew!
@@lisabeaumont It is amazing how good the pharmacies are overseas!!! truly amazing, you fo anyplace here and a pharmacist really does not seem to want to bother with you because the business is corporate owned and his performance is based on CPA/MBA numbers...
@@stevevernon5038Exactly the same with my husband, who didn’t listen to my advice regarding the jab. He took them and then experienced problems with his hearing; tinnitus and deafness. After having the hearing tests at the hospital he was sent to have a brain scan too. Luckily this was in the UK so didn’t have to pay separately. However, he had paid into the system for almost 50 years!
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.
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 TH-cam 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.)
You are right but Americans deserve to live in a country where chronic nursing is covered by insurance (only acute nursing is covered), and Americans should be able to trust the healthcare system. Right now, the healthcare system serves investors and shareholders before it serves patients.
I have noticed that the people in the medical industry (and this includes vets) have grown to hate their patients. They are almost pathological at this point... no empathy at all. I am assuming it has been worked out of them, with demands for overnight shifts and working without enough staff. But I do my best to stay away and I do my best to keep my pets away. They have also come up with new quid pro quos... my vet wouldn't not give my pet a needed prescription unless I took him in each year for a check up... that was not at all necessary - she just wanted more money.
As an Emergency RN in the USA I can't thank you enough for real talk. I try to have these conversations with people and they just don't understand. I've lived on the inside of the hospital walls for over 20 yrs as a provider and absolutely never want to enter as a patient. I finally was able to escape the bedside and am thriving!
I refused the jabs and got fired. No respect for these monsters !!!!! After many years in the OR, assisting on mostly elective procedures, I can say, the system has become corrupt to a degree of exploitation and extortion. When non profit became corporations the flags were up.......My own hospital made it on the Forbes list ! What a clue !!!!! Patients are clients......who PAY for these questionable services. Humanity is gone.....finished. Remember HIPPA ? It was not to protect the privacy of patients but to protect the legal department, so they may wiggle around and not pay for their mistakes, using HIPPA as an excuse. What scares hospitals ? Law suits !!!!! they are terrified of them ! Someone forgets a lap sponge in a patient ? they also wiggle around as they pretend to be on the side of the patient , while negotiating on the minimized amount of money they will pay for that "injury ". Employees get more restrictions....less raises and no bonuses while the CEO makes millions.

When my elderly parents were in hospital, I sat with them until I got kicked out at day’s end, then returned the following morn. We must be on the defensive and advocate for ourselves and our frail elders. Thank you, Dr. Dhand. Kudos to you.
I slept in a chair and saved my dtr - almost killed her with remicade and a box of bills - prednisone- all for vaccine damage as a child and I didn't figure it out yet - I got sued for taking her off the poison - yes - its true
They tried twice to get me to approve euthanizing my elderly mother against her health care directive. They claimed she was brain dead when she wasn't. You must have an advocate and be adamant with them or you won't last long. It's really really bad. They don't care about the elderly.
My mother is at a respiratory specialty care facility that refused to provide any healthy tube feed nutrition. She came in to that facility and was loosing 3 pounds per day. Dr refuses to allow her more than a pint of water per day and the tube feeds are little pea protein in the main ingredient of glucose. She can't survive on sugar and poor quality protein. The evil people call it "perfect nutrition" and just told me to take her home to die, rather than letting her have a new formula. Please pray for us for help and direction and Mom's life.
When my Dad was hospitalized in MD there were loads of doctors from John's Hopkins padding his bill. By the time I got there he had spent 2 weeks there. He was.diagnosed with heart failure. He was put on 13 meds. Part of his bill was a daily visit by the head of plastic surgery who showed up to visit for two weeks because he claimed that my Dad might need part of his lower leg removed! Once we arrived we stayed for three months and never left his side. All meds were removed except three. The side effects disappeared.! We brought all my of his meals in. Including cases of filtered spring water. We also went over his bill with a fine toothed comb and have the 100,000 part billed by the plastic surgeon removed. He was also billed for six knee replacements. Check those bills. They are ripping you off. This hospital planned knew that they could send this into his insurance carrier and get paid no questions asked. Thank God we removed him from that hospital.
I was once in ER, unable to urinate. The only person working on me was a nurse. Few weeks later I got the bill full of names...doctors that newer saw me. I fought the bill tooth and nail. I wasn't just going to pay it...
Thanks to Fauci and company, I spent 3 weeks in ICU alone in 2021. You are right, nurses are heroes. Once I got to recovery I had my husband bring me blueberries and other healthy foods. My bill was $244,601.01 Thankfully I have insurance but the bill should be sent to the psychopaths that caused the plague.
Thank you. As an aging RN I can tell you I've seen the profit motive destroy the U.S. healthcare system which was nonprofit when I was a child in the 1950s and 1960s. I've had some terrible experiences lately. Don't even want to go to the doctor anymore. It's 90 percent lifestyle.
That's a VERY key issue. The emphasis on patient care refocused upon shareholder care. And Big Pharma has money stuffed deep into the pockets of everyone in DC and the AMA, NIH, etc...
thankyou for your service as a caring thoughtful nurse. the change to for profit is a horrible situation. i think maybe the change from calling people clients rather than patients was a serious error. language is an important precursor for change.
good evening Sir. I just wanted to tell you that I haven't taken any medication for the past three and a half years. I'm 65 years old. I never thought I would live this long. after cancer I thought I was done. but Im still here. I was told if I stoped the drugs I would be dead in six months. I'm still here!
In early 70s I was in university studying for RN. When we get to pharmacology I couldn't believe the science and practice was for treatment not cure, it is was all too much for me. I had a moral delima and left this course and went down the natural holistic path. Studied Nutrition, Herbology, Iridology, Homeopathic Medicine,and usd all these in my life's service to others. It has sustained me thru my life, I am almost 70,and I believe I am what I eat and think. Thank you Dr for standing in the gap to call out the alarm against all that will come against us.
Many doctors in the USA cannot think outside of the box! Cookie-cutter medicine is practiced and I have found very few doctors who can take a patient who is ill and customize their care. I am a former nurse and I agree with this video and I have shared it with others. Thank you, Dr. Dhand.
That is just not fair to doctors, DO YOU KNOW that Austria with 10 million people has TWICE the number of physicians per capita as the USA.... WE HAVE TO IMPORT our doctors because it costs too much to educate them here! and over 30% of our doctors are foreign born and the AMA has colluded with this... don't kid yourself, nobody in the top 10% really believes the proletariat deserves anything but an inflation raise for us despite our experience. and life long learning... that is why the top 10% continues to import immigrants....the so-called talented tenth who have benefited from our politicians who they have BOUGHT BODY and SOUL...
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Dont count on it, Drs now in the USA are working for the Oligarchs and they write the protocols for treatment...or is it the AMA who is linked to Pig Farma... I wish I could agree with you but frankly the coding overhead would never end until you have centralized medical care and that aint going to happen here because we have so many insurance companies owned by the Oligarchs..
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Please do not count on it. AI is processing insurance claims and making mistakes, making people think they are not covered for things that they are covered for.
It's not that they can't think out of box. It is that the lawyers run the country, and if doctors dare to do anything remotely different, they open themselves up to legal liability.
I have a friend who is 74. He’s on 21 different medications! He’s been suffering symptoms of severe shortness of breath and fatigue since he got the shots in 2020. Doctor’s can’t find a thing wrong with him, but they sure do a lot of testing. Besides the shots, he eats a ton of sugary processed junk. I tried to suggest that he eliminates the junk and eat real foods. He actually said, “I can’t imagine that nutrition has anything to do with my condition.” He’s in the hospital right now and thinks that he’s going to get better because “there’s at least a dozen different doctors in and out of my room every day. They’ll get it figured out.” Can’t talk about word of sense to him since he completely trusts the doctors. Very sad!
Yes it is sad and you have to leave your friend where you find him. He is addicted to the sugar which fogs up his ability to think clearly. Even if you could convince him to make the slightest change, he would fight you tooth and nail. Just leave him where you find him.
Some recommended things he can take or do: -ETDA chelation infused with Vitamin C -Dr. McCullough's recommend #de #tox as it's the first in a medical journal -Ivermectin
I work for NSW health in Australia. I am a research nurse. You are absolutely spot on with your assessment Dr Suneel. It’s terrifying what is happening with general medicine, chronic care and emergency care. Terrifying.
I might see my MD every 2 years to continue of hypertension meds. I hit Medicare age and all of a sudden, my same MD needs to see me every three months now!!! Money grab comes to mind.
Unfortunately, it's usually required by Medicare to make sure folks on medication are being seen by a physician to show that they need the medication and it's the correct dose.
How ‘young’ are you? Try reading the book by John W Armstrong ‘The Water Of Life’. And don’t miss Jake Ames MD, HMD ‘40 Postulates About How Urine Fasting Benefits YOU’. And best of luck.
@@gjsmimi4474 To me that means that they are in cahoots with each other to make sure the elderly person is stuck in the system. I don't believe for a second that it is because Medicare loves the person more than the previous insurer! That just tells me that there is even more manipulation for the person's money.
Virtually every issue I’ve had, the medical establishment screwed up. Went carnivore 6 years ago (69 year old male), and every issue I had disappeared including 50 years of IBS, lack of libido, skin tags, rashes, bloating, weight gain, mental and physical fatigue, etc. Now I feel fantastic and spend my “medical” money on bacon & eggs, and rib eye steak. Never felt as good as I do now. We have so many educational resources - research your conditions thoroughly, don’t just trust one source, and find your own solutions.
Happened to my elderly mom. She paid for decades into her health care system. Once when she went to the ER they did not have an open room anywhere in the system because of so many illegals. She spent two days in extreme pain on a hard ER cot before they could admit her into a room.
Not because of illegals! Liste, even Dr. D. says it’s the SYSTEM! It’s corrupt and needs you to believe it’s some random person taking it away from you. Wake up!
Interesting that you have 3 replies to your comment but none of them are showing up. "Someone" is trying to hide what they said. I am so sorry about what happened to your mom. I truly believe that what happened to her is going to be a common occurrence in the U.S..
Illegals/immigrants is #4 in the PLANTATION PLAN.... Denial, Delay, Distract, DIVIDE... Remember we live in a Christian country, where SLAVERY was in place for almost 2.5 CENTURIES... and if didn't just happen....IT WAS A SYSTEM... and the system has devolved since the soldiers who fought in WW2 retired...
Thank you for this informative and important video. After my heart attack in 2016, I was put on statins, from which I had a horrible reaction. Turns out that statins aren't good for post-menopausal women. I decided to go holistic, and now am in better health without statins or other meds. I go to a naturopath, which is not covered by insurance if I need medical advice. Under Medicare I needed a doctor, so went with Kaiser. You get better care in a developing country than with this sad collection of losers. Cranky, incompetent, seriously overweight doctor who didn't even have the social skills to look me in the eye when she talked, told me I was "a walking timebomb" because I refuse to take statins. Does it matter that I am the picture of health? With no issues that most people my age have? No. Does it matter that I meditate and live a happy and healthy life? No. All this inept overpaid physician wanted to do was to continue gaslighting me. I am 66, look 55, and feel like I'm 44. That's what ignoring the biggest scam in the U.S. has given me.
Statins are good for NO ONE. These drugs killed two of my family members. But yes, statins are definitely not good for post menopausal women. The MIC tried that with me and I told them to shove it. I'm healthy and have no comorbidities and they wanted me on a statin because I'm over 50.
My husband & I, mid 70s, are healthy, see no doctors, take no meds. On 100% meat-based diet. I have zero inflammation, am "fat adapted", & living on ketones. Nothing tastes better than being healthy & slim feels! I see nothing but positivity moving into old age & eventual death. All is well!
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!
kathrynpassmore5425, I'm 68, and I've had very similar experiences with my doctors. Like scheduling me for tests without ever discussing this with me, tests I never received. They called to "remind you of the test you have tomorrow". -> Based on another comment here, I wonder if Medicare was billed for the tests I never received.
I have a local hospital trying to bill me for $400 lab work that I never had. They can't provide me with any CPT codes, copies of electronic or paper lab orders, or even the ordering doctor. I have been fighting with them since November and refuse to give them any money.
@churchofpos2279. I had several bills for lab work show up on a sheet of paid charges my insurance provider sent me that were not mine. I called the insurance company and let them sort it out. Normally I hesitate long and hard before calling any large company like that but decided it was worth the effort and frustration to try and stop fraudulent claims as I was only one who could catch errors at that point. I never heard another word. Just a suggestion. Good luck
File a complaint with your state Attorney General and county medical society where the hospital is located and send copies to your health insurance company.
Sounds like you are a victim of Medical ID theft. Somebody could have gotten a hold of your insurance info and is using it pretending to be you. It's not unusual nowadays for insurance companies, hospitals and doctors' offices to get hacked. Our insurance Blue Cross was hacked back in 2015 and one of my husband's doctors was also hacked in 2019. We haven't been victims of Medical ID theft but our SSN, DOB, phone and email has been used to try to open credit card and cell phone accounts . Thankfully, the companies recognized it was fraud and didn't approve them.
Take them to small claims court. Their attorney will call you and they will drop the case if you are firm and polite. Don’t agree to pay any of it. Been there.
I had a stroke that lasted 30 minutes. I did not go to the hospital for I was in No mood for todays medical incompetences. I’ll live with the problems. Screw the system
Absolutely everything he is saying is true. We have a sick care system, designed to drain your money and before you die prematurely. The cost will only rise as the flood of immigrants are draining our system paid by us. It is despicable. As a nurse I am horrified. Take care of yourself and your loved ones🙏🏻
You’re so right about watching like a hawk. My wife was in ICU following a stroke in Bristol UK. So many, mostly small, obvious mistakes that when added together, could add up to something major going wrong when she has no voice. I didn’t hold back and let them know my feelings..several times. I used to leave every evening in tears not knowing what she’d be like when I got back the following day…. Thankfully she’s home now but I feel her injuries are worse than should have been through inattention. I also believe the stroke was as a direct result of the poison administered under the guise of Wuhan vaccine… a ticking timebomb that many of us couldn’t avoid due to job insistent policies…
Medical incompetence is rampant! Just ONE (I have too many to count) instance taught me how important the phrase, "I want a second opinion" is. Short version elderly woman on new meds in nursing home. The nursing home was very concerned she was having a stroke. Her GP ignored them and said it was nothing. Can't reach the specialist who had prescribed the new med. This went on for almost a week!! I (her guardian) called another doctor affiliated with the hospital, and he immediately lept into action after the magic phrase was uttered and got to the bottom of the problem. The new med she was on caused side effects that mimicked a stroke!! Learn and Use the phrase "I want a second opinion".
I was admitted for acute RCA obstruction. Had PCI done. Was on heparin drip 2 days prior. I have followed low carb keto diet with time restricted eating for years. 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 came upon your videos by accident and you are a breath of fresh air. I'm 67 and my husband is 71 and we do EVERYTHING to stay away from doctors and hospitals and it has served us well. Thank you for the truth.
As a 75 year old integrative psychiatrist I am my own doctor. I would much rather die at home than get some borrowed time in a hospital. I have known many wonderful holistic doctors but the current state of healthcare is not health care at all. It is an endless series of traumatic events.
I’m a RN in the U.S. I don’t have health insurance. I’m not paying for that scam. I take care of my body as best as I can and have no health problems that I am aware of. As far as I’m concerned I’m never going back to a doctor. I work in home health, didn’t take the medical experiment and try to educate my patient’s and their families on good nutrition and healthy living choices.
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.
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.
Knowing The Way, The Truth and The Life to be Saved IS the only thing I can think of as More important than having good physical health. 😁⚓️❤️✝️🌟🎁! He gave us The Greatest Gift! His Spirit and Righteousness!!! Thank You Lord!💝!
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.
Thank you for your caring, genuine service to your patients, Mary. It warms my heart to hear that you see your patients as people and not just dollar signs. 👏
I am 59 years old, and the urologist removed a tumor from my bladder that was cancerous, the lower variation that did not spread thank God. But now I’m told I need a lifetime ritual of a scope down there every 90 days and I just don’t know what to do other than investigate and figure it out myself.. thank you so much for your videos
I'm 72...the first member of my family to have been born "on the NHS". Grew up with it, and it was always there as a safety net....until about 3 years ago. Now it is practically impossible to see a general practitioner when you need one. I recently realised I have Metabolic Syndrome...High cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, overweight...I'm sorting it myself by cutting refined carbs and snacks, adopting Intermittent Fasting and exercise, etc...impossible to get a doctor's appointment to get checked...The NHS has ceased to care. TH-cam has been more useful than the doctors who are PAID to look after me 😂
My cousin's wife is a go with the nhs. She is an absolute dresm, a very caring doctor worked to the bone. I don't think it's that the nhs doesn't care. Its just overwhelmed.
Yes I asked at my Gastro appointment today if I could get a metabolic panel because mine is 2 years old. I'm on the carnivore diet and doing really well and wanted to know my metabolic markers to see if what I feel shows up on my tests. She refused me. I'm 62 and trying to get baselines for everything because I have never had insurance. Now that I have health care they just say no to every standard test. It's like not having healthcare at all.
I am in the United States and I have had several family members who died from malpractice as well as some incidents with my own Healthcare which were very questionable. I have got to say I would rather that the system wasn't there for me at all than the way it is. This reminds me of a runaway machine which is randomly killing people and nobody knows how to stop it.
Not to mention the illusion of "preventive care." Most preventive care is structured to bring you into the system for more tests and procedures. This non-practicing nurse is opting out!
Exactly! "Preventive Care" is the biggest crock of BS ever shoved down our throats and people are buying it!! It's just a way to pull people in and find reasons, no matter how small, to do all manner of expensive procedures on them.
I always wondered why they called it preventive care. I never heard of mammograms preventing cancer. I know they are there to detect not prevent. No one has ever said getting them helps you keep from getting cancer.
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.
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.
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.
Nurses should be paid well its a responsible hard job, especially the mental nursing, the problem is the training, and the right type of people for this job. There were plenty of nasty Nurses in the past ,Dr's also😮
I think there are many nurses that just decide to become a nurse for the money now days! As a retired nurse i agree! It makes it difficult for the good nurses!
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.
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.
Trust me, standing up for yourself or your loved one goes a long way. I stood between the hospital and my elderly mom. I was a tough advocate for her, and they backed down every time they tried to go out of bounds. 💪👊
The solution is that we quit giving them so much credit and treating them like they’re god…cut the funding that pays their student loans off and subsidies to their clinics to help pay for low income insurance policy payments being lower…etc…make them earn the respect and money they’re taking…
Oh and cut funding for all this medical research we pay for and also pay for its development as if we are shareholders yet we get zero return in our investments…we get charged way more then other countries pay for the use of medical technology we paid to have developed! We get kicked in the teeth regardless
U.S citizen here. I haven't had a physical in over 5 years. A couple years ago I went for physical therapy. Cost me $660. Same year, a follow up mammogram cost me $1200. I have insurance. I had a work bonus that year, all of it went to medical bills. I can't afford this and this system needs to be fixed.
Dear Sherri, I feel the same way that you do about amazing Dr Dhand. 72 y/o retired RN. Not great health. But, I trust Our Lord for whatever I cannot accomplish in terms of good food and exercise. Peace of mind goes a long way towards longevity I believe. We will all die. Thank you for your comment today. 🙏
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. All at such low prices you can't even believe it. Three lab panels at the most modern lab cost under $45. Crazy. finally getting the help we need (when we need it).
I alwyas wondered why so many Arizonans went to the border towns. Then I got medicare and VA. robomedicines, delays, denied of treatment- better to go abroad and pay cash to doctors who want to practice medicine.
Makes one wonder why so many Mexicans are coming over here.....seems like they have it much better than we do. They even still use pure cane sugar in colas over there, unlike the toxic chemical sweeteners used here.
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.
@@lelandsmith2320 I maybe should have - but it probably wasn't enough to attract a good atty. This was many yrs ago - before I knew that you can simply not pay and then get computer generated letters offering to settle for half or less. One bill for $6000 that was particularly ridiculous, I sent them $3000 with a page of explanation which I doubt anyone read. Check cashed, but I never got a reply. Today all those bills would have been at least 5X.
My daughter-in-law went to the ER a few days ago. Severe headache, High BP, back pain. She asked for a pillow and a blanket. Staff told her ...."we are out of pillows and blankets."
It's true as an ER nurse I can tell you we don't get linens on a regular basis. The weekends are the worst and it is not our fault. BTW ER's often don't even have housekeeping they demand the nurses in charge of saving lives change the trash and sweep and mop the floors. I complained about stool and blood on the curtains for over 9 months and no one ever changed them.
@@heatherlott1342 Yep, hospital pharmacist here and it ticks me off daily to see overflowing garbage cans, no toilet paper paper towels in PACU and ASU bathrooms. Filthy floors etc etc
I'm a retired RN. I wrote a book that is available on Amazon (paperback and Kindle). Title: Control Your Medical Care, You can say no. Dr Dhand is preaching to the choir. Good job.
I work as a Phlebotomist in a hospital and get so frustrated with doctors putting in duplicate orders because they can't be bothered to see what's already been ordered or already been done. Technically I should have "Babysitter" on my resume because I'm always double checking them and if I didn't that patient would be getting charged for a test that's already been done plus the aggravation of them getting stuck with a needle when it's not necessary. This is why if I'm ever a patient I will be paying close attention to this nonsense.
Duplicate charges are rampant - even the overpriced aspirin. Legit claims are often rejected - just to see if the insured will fight it. But big insurers do not even have a way for insureds to report when a doc's visit in a hospital was not even performed at all. They accept a doc's bill always. I once had 6 docs within an hour pop in to see my possibly infected ankle (it wasn't) - avg time was 30 seconds. Of course they were all on the bill. This was at a well-regarded hospital in a major city.
Hospital pharmacist here. When we actually page and try to get the so called Dr to d/c all of their duplicates , they play dumb and pretend like they dont understand OR they do not know how to do it. This from supposed intelligent people who went to medical school for years?!?
Hospital RN, we do acute care, ortho, and birth babies pretty good. But if you have multiple system dysfunction including obesity, high bp, diabetes, cancer, well, you may be better off buying a juicer and exercising.
exactly cut the carbs seed oils eat salad at noon beans and lentils at supper and no snacks it worked for me lost 30 pounds and blood glucose went from 10.2 to 5.1 , I was watching the price is right from the 70's reruns , oh my the people were thin and very healthy , now look at them on the new price is right they look half dead and full of prescription's .
I hate the healthcare and pharm industries!!!!!!! I eat nutritious foods, exercise daily and pray constantly. I have been to the doctors office only a few times in the past 35 years. I am 62 years young and am doing just fine, thank you very much!
Very well said. As a practicing EM physician, I would like to second everything you mentioned. The system is collapsing. I now function not only as an EM physician but also as a hospitalist due to a lack of inpatient beds and a primary care physician due to lack of access. It's not a sustainable system.
As an ER nurse I feel forced to neglect patients as I cannot give them the care they need and deserve because we are overburdened and understaffed. Then in the US when there are no beds the ER becomes every other unit, Medsurg, ICU, OB, just insane.
I went to the Emergency Room at Northwestern M. Hospital, which is rated No. 1 in Chicago Illinois. I had a horrible experience. The system is completely broken. I was put in an old building in the hospital. There was 28-30 rooms on that floor and only one shower on the whole floor. Two rooms shared one bathroom. The bathroom was not clean until I complained about the items that were left from the previous patient. One shower for 28-30 sick patients. Shameful , disgusting and unacceptable treatment from a hospital that ranks itself as No. 1.🇺🇸
Couldn't agree more! Haven't had a doctor since 2004. Did go to a urgent care place in 2009 for a UTI, needed antibiotic. No regular meds whole life, I'm 71 smoke/ have some drinks, eat once a day that's how I've always been. I don't want to live a long time, but want to do it my way. Oh, never got jab or covid- knew right off it was bullshit!
My mom was near death in the hospital from her unmanaged type 2 diabetes, and they fed her meals that were 50% carbs the entire time she was there. Unless you need to be physically put back together from an accident, a hospital is where one goes to die.
For a minor outpatient, local anesthesia surgery we were charged $175 for the use of a single Sharpie marker to draw a small x on the incision site. Not even for marking the point…they charged for the Sharpie marker. Then we were charged $850 for my wife to lay in a bed in the middle of a hallway with a curtain pulled around it for one hour prior to the procedure….nearly twice what we paid in rent for a whole apartment per month for one hour in a bed in the middle of the hallway. Then $185 “specimen transport fee” which was LITERALLY one dude walking a vial of blood less than 12 feet down the hallway from where the blood was drawn. $185 for taking 5 or 6 steps down the hallway.
In Abilene TX we have a giant monopoly disease maintenance corporation . It has metastasized all over the town of around 120,000 people. It actually took over the old Sears retail store to handle it's medical supplies. It seems obvious to me that if a city this size requires a behemoth "medical" tumor this big, there is something seriously wrong with our entire social order.
You know it's bad when an actual doctor slams the entire medical system. You go Dr. Suneel! Thank you for being so transparent. God bless you always. 🙏✝️🕊️🌹🤗
I am a diabetic in remission for 3-years with a HbA1c of 5.6%. Since my GP's clinic is under new management, he has gone from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, insisting that I should be on Metformin. I asked him, "why should I take Metformin if my HbA1c and fasting glucose are within normal range," a question that upset him, a question he never really answered.
I was in my early 30s and had a very irregular EKG. I was rushed to the hospital ER and put in the heart patient room I was there from early in the morning till about six at night. No one came to ask me anything or monitor my heart…. they told me the cardiologist would be in later that evening. After the first few hours I went to the desk to ask why I am was not being monitored, and they asked me who my nurse was!!! I told them I am the one who came in by ambulance with heart issues! I told them if the doctor is not here soon I’m leaving and I said, by the way, I should be attached to heart monitors and a blood pressure monitor! My car was at my doctors office, so I called my neighbor to pick me up.. I left in a furt with the cardiologist, running out the door after me . I told him what horrible care they’re hospital provided and he told me I could die in the street and I said yes, but that’s my choice. I said big deal.. Your ER staff did not do absolutely anything but sit at the front desk laugh talk and gossip. I said with this kind of care I’ll take my chances and I left… by the way I had worked in a hospital for more than 15 years.
Agree 100% about USa health care, not able to see primary care doctors if pain , only you can talk to receptionist after “ press” 1 or 2 . Receptionist send you 911, not able even talk to nurse. My family doctor prescribed hight dosages of bp medication , I just take 1 pills and bp went to from 160/90 to 110/56. I called because I was weak , but nurse call me back next day . I stop take medication and feel better after 48 h.I’m don’t trust doctors . First thing he ask me at appointment time-did l do fly shots ! Not about how I feeling!!! After exident with bp medication he changed dosage in half. Maybe will be better starting with lover dosage!! I m not mouse, but was treated as a mouse.. time appointment just 5-10 m , most of the time sitting in room and waiting. No respect to patients.
I went to an Urgent Care owned by a major University hospital system. I had a sore throat and asked for a flu and strep test. The bill: $824.55. Adjusted down to $608 because I have health insurance. I later found out that had I said "I have insurance but don't want to use it," I would have paid $318 which is the "self-pay" rate. I only discovered this by checking the hospital's pricing transparency file. Lesson learned: compare the insurance and self-pay rates. Paradoxically, sometimes it's more economical to have insurance but not use it.
Agree with you... Health and Government agencies have been captured and corrupted... stand up for your rights, take control of your health. Dr. Noor (Malaysia)
2 days in the hospital for a chainsaw to the head. The blade started into my skull, but got stopped by my 2 head scarves. I wear a safety helmet now. The wound was not treated, while waiting for surgery. They just let it ooze blood for 2 days. At one point I applied toilet paper to staunch the bleeding. It got taken off, I got yelled at, and we were black to oozing blood. Finally, after 2 days, I got surgery to repair the wound. Thankfully the plastic surgeon did an honestly bang up job, and I was OUT. I got lost wandering around the hospital. There was no checkout. I was just told to leave the trauma unit. Finally, a nurse helped me where to go. Btw, in 2 days, I only had one small dietetic cup of jello, and a carton of milk for food. Im not diabetic, and in fact, fake sugar makes me ill, and am allergic to milk. Lovely. First thing my friend did, was take me to McDonalds, and I had a fishburger meal . Feel free to message me if you know this hospital: Childrens University Hospital, El Paso TX.
My doctor poisoned me with a benzo for over 4 years. Nobody could figure out why I was so sick. I'm off this horrible drug now but even after 2 years I still can't function. Canadian health care is awful too- I've been waiting for 2 years to have thyroid nodules biopsied, cataract surgery and knee surgery. I can't even leave my house anymore.
I'm sorry you aren't doing well. Maybe look into castor oil drops for the cataracts, and real olive oil for the knee. Lugol's maybe for the thyroid? Do your research... Hope you feel better soon.
I am sorry for you. A Canadian 81 years old here. I have had all your illnesses. Seen and diagnostic and treated within 2 months. Are you living in remote rural areas? That could explain
I was lucky to have discovered these truths early in life when i was verbally abused by my family doctor when I was 20 years old. I learned then and there, through tears, how corrupt doctors can be and that it is essential to use them sparingly and only as consultants and rarely, as surgeons.
I just love you Dr Dhand ! I am a retired US Nurse and I can say that you are 100% correct. I see insurance as a big problem, they dictate what and how your doctor should treat the patient and if they don't then the insurance company will remove them from their list of participating doctors. I now live in India due to marrying a Indian man. I can say that the same problem of being sucked in is here as well now and they seem to be proud of having gone to this big pharma route. Thank you for your vids.
Insurance is a big problem in the USA. However, many people pick Medicare Advantage over traditional Medicare Supplements & then cry when they get a bill or can't get what they want. You either pay up front/traditional or you pay nothing, then cry when something happens. I really don't have the patience to hear people whining on Medicare Advantage when the hospitals send you home. You paid nothing & expect red carpet treatment.
@@RG-hf4etI am an RN not currently practicing. Several of my RN friends post "public service announcements" during open enrollment every year to remind people NOT to sign up for Medicare Advantage. Traditional medicare with a supplement is expensive, but definitely worth it which you quickly find out if you are in a bad accident or have a catastrophic illness
Thanks everyone for your kind words and comments! Stay Strong!

Get healthy.@@bark2931
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.
❤good man!
That is really sad and very unacceptable for your mother’s care. That hospital should have never discharged her with her b/p higher that when she arrived.
Money is evil
I feel that way almost everywhere now. We do.
In Lima, Peru people will help you at the hospital. I used to pay 18% and have healthcare public (universal healthcare) and private (from work) Also, we have college without tuition :)
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🤓❤️👍
Roger you are so right. I have diverticulitis, and I think it was from antibiotics. Have a blessed week.
It's ironic that while you were being overtested and treated, others are begging to be assessed because they know something is wrong, yet those patients are ignored and told it's all in their head until it's too late. The system needs to find some balance and simple common sense.
Your a Legend.

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.
Our healthcare system is an absolute corporate scam and and utter failure. Take good care of yourself as your best hope for staying healthy. Everyone should watch this video and take seriously what he is saying.

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.
WHAT is it with emotional, triggered doctors who scream at you for not loading up on more doctors? Why is it they make it so personal? This is one reason why I haven't gone to anyone in years. They're utterly worthless.
Same as to me at the pharmacy. I called the pharmacy in January and then March again. I am no longer taking Xiidra due to burying, burning and other side effects. They said ok to stop it. A few months ago I got a bill from Medicare they paid for the above medicine 1400 and I paid 145.

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.
Certain ages are left to die
You are certainly correct about the food in hospitals - mostly it's some kind of sauce over pasta- cheap, cheap, cheap....
I understand fully. I'm guessing you are in the UK because this is exactly my experience, albeit a few years ago now. My husband died in the hospital, which he dedicated 40 years of his working life to as a doctor. I was a nurse but retired by then. The experience was horrific and traumatic, to the point I moved away from the area to avoid ever having to attend that hospital again.
Read the Obamacare papers. This is exactly what its plan is. Once beyond a certain point you’re helpless. You’re not worth the time or effort or expense to care for you. All these meds are bandaids to keep you from real health care. Oh I mean the disease management industry.
I feel for you. Sadly this is the reality today. Where is the Care the love for our fellow human beings
Strange to say, but hospital is no place for sick people!
guaranteed to get sicker......and broke !
I Have Been Saying That, “ For YEARS ! “
Yes, I agree with you to a large extent. Retired Registered Nurse. I loved caring for people. Out of the field 10 years. Too much paperwork. Not enough time for patient education. We would be reprimanded for overtime. The dollar is the bottom line. But, I loved what I did.
There’s the possibility you will only get sicker,
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.
You are right on!!! I'm 70 yrs old, A retired RN, cardiovascular surgical nurse, worked in all areas of the hospital, with retiring from oncology/hospice, 4 yrs ago after 35 years of practice. Fortunately I also have a bachelor's of science in home economics education, which gave me unmeasurable nutritional information. I'm on one medication for blood pressure and found a great internal physician who is not connected to the hospital group. I have always eaten well, and was criticized for only going for healthcare when I was sick. The key is preventative lifestyle, but, I will get and take what I need if it becomes necessary. Thank you Dr. Dhand for your illuminating podcasts.
1. Pushing unnecessary meds.
2. Hospital bills/outrageous charges.
3. Probability of getting “sucked into the system”.
4. Admission to hospital/unhealthy food/medical error.
5. System won’t be there when you need them.
Thanks for listing these!!!
6. Forcing a scam of a 💉onto the masses
I would add. Hospital based infections.. I have heard that the estimate is 10% of inpatient admissions and they think this is ok, when other countries, patients stay twice as long and get the same amount of infections... STAFFING IS A JOKE UNLESS there is a union... and other things as well... Just remember our people who care for you in the hospital, the proletariat have had no raises in the last 40 years so their attitude toward their work suffers, as there is no pride in it or satisfaction when you have to work outrageous hours to live... AND NO, not all unions are bad, but all states with RIGHT TO WORK HATE THEIR proletariat..
all true !!!

@@Scocia Yeah, I stopped venting as soon as I got out at 62. I have no need to.
I'm convinced that hospitals are designed to keep people sick... NEVER let the patient sleep, feed them garbage etc... it's like being held a prisoner
The entire medical, food, and pharma industries are designed to ruin health. They are disease management institutions, not healthcare institutions.
Theres a video about it to make people sick n I learned from the book A GIFT FROM THE STARS ALIEN RACES IT SAYS IN THERE THEY NEVER WANT TO CURE ANYONE BUT TO MAKE PEOPLE SICK.THERES ANOTHER BOOK IT IS CALLED NATURAL CURES THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT, IT SAYS ON THAT BOOK THEY DONT WANT TO CURE ANYONE BAD FOR THE BUSINESS.
I developed sleep deprivation psychosis after 3.5 weeks in hospital in an isolation ward.
Absolutely no need to wake me constantly...ut they did.😢
The several times my wife has been admitted, I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to put a sleep hours order in place to stop them waking her up every hour and a half. They induced ICU psychosis in her twice
With most of the locks locked, needing a proper ID card or desk employee to unlock them, you are indeed a prisoner.
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...
Katrina good advice.
This is true. When the plandemic was in full blown mode my job laid us all off for almost a month and that's when all my health issues started. That month of doing absolutely nothing destroyed my body, and I learned the hard way how useless doctors were after countless visits, gaslighting, tossing me to and fro. I finally started looking into alternative medicine and I'm finally getting better. I'm only 35.

They certainly screwed my dying husband over royally. Had him believing they cared and knew what was best throughout his cancer care. Even when I told my husband not to take or approve certain meds he'd say "you're not a doctor, why do you think you know more than them?". I said, "It's not that I know more, but I love you and would never suggest anything I feel will harm you.". On his deathbed he said he wished he'd listened to me. He had so many meds pumping in him (2 IV trees filled and some branches overlapping on both). These doctors are legal serial killers. I fear when my hospital time comes, I really do.
Our doctors are employees now,not self employed. They have been handed protocols from hospital's management not any health specialist. It's all about financial extraction from patients, doctors, staff, insurance
@gg-wk2ww That protocol is.called "Standard of.Care". As long as they follow it, they will be protected from being sued for Medical Malpractice even if the patient dies, is seriously injured or disabled from the medication/treatment.
Hospital time does not need to come
@@karimaogden3875excellent response 👏 👌 👍. Standard of care. A qualified doctor unable to use their own personal experience to provide possible best outcome 😢
Don't go , run, run as fast as you can , hide , don't let anyone take you. Prepare to meet your maker and seek him not a Dr.
So happy to see a doctor who is has morals outside of the for profit system.
Dr Dhand was dragged through hot coals and ostracized during COVID for questioning things.
I saw all this with my parents. I have no faith in our medical system and avoid it at all cost. It's all about profit.
I am sorry to hear this. Wishing you well
Profit on the Normal ageing process. What a Gig!
The extreme greed will help kill this deeply corrupt system. Many of them must know this, but will milk it til the end. I think change will come when enough ppl drop out as I have, and millions of others (& growing). Many drop out involuntarily because of deductibles, copays, etc even if they could get insurance. I wonder how many docs, nurses & other staff would want their own service??
A medical system that has as its reason for existence, the profit motive couldn’t possibly be one in which people are paying for research to cure serious diseases. There’s no motivation to do this. If you cure the disease you kill the cash cow of prescribing prescriptions for drugs that tamper down symptoms of the disease. So there’s a huge motivation to not cure diseases to just treat symptoms with very expensive medication’s. This is what a hyper capitalist system gets you. 😢
It's the same with auto insurance!!! If you drive ok and someone else hits you it's they're responsibility to pay, but now even they don't pay and you will walk home from the auto rental place!!!
I recently went in for an MRI which revealed a labral tear in my shoulder which is bothering me from an old horse riding accident. When my doctor asked if I was still on antidepressants I said no. He looked confused when I said the only daily pill I take is a multivitamin. He asked how I’m feeling, I told him I feel fantastic. He seemed surprised and asked what I’ve been doing, I said I quit the prescriptions and started running. I’ve never felt better.
I love it!! ❤️ GOALS!!
Yay good joc😊
Awesome! Running to work cardio and air to breathe. God bless you in the name of Jesus
Yes, I've had this happen. I am 55 and take no medications, which the doctor cannot believe. Then when I go for a physical they get onto the computer and pull up some old list of meds that I was on YEARS age and ask if I still take them. Even though every time they say that those meds will be removed from the computer, the next time I go for a physical the same meds get pulled up again. So annoying. Mine were depression meds too, I feel so much better without them.
@@sta090806 my experience exactly, they always say the med list will be updated, but nope. Great job ditching the meds, doesn’t it feel great?!?

I was the executor of my parents estate as well as their caretaker in their elderly years. Both mom and dad worked hard, saved their money and paid their taxes on time not obtaining as much as a parking ticket as a reference to their character. They spent every last penny on medications, hospital bills and nursing home charges and died broke. Meanwhile in other rooms were the unemployed or illegal aliens that got the same standard of treatment, same medications and a no balance sheet from the state when they are taken to the nursing home. This is so wrong and I don't have the answer of how to fix it.
Sprry to hear this. Your parents sounded like thoroughly decent people. What a system fail. Best wishes, Suneel Dhand

Right on Dr. Dhand! My husband went for a hearing test and before they would suggest a hearing aid, they wanted to send him for a $10K MRI of his head to make sure a tumor was not the cause of his hearing loss. Needless to say he canceled that test and went to Costco for hearing aid which is working out great for him. Pays to do your own research!
Hearing doctor wanted to check my husband for a tumor also. Interesting.
Good grief! That reminds me of when I was in Thailand (a long holiday) and I got some sort of tummy bug. I felt really rought so went to a private hospital but I checked my travel insurance and the thousands I was quoted for an extended stay wasn't covered, so I paid for what I'd had (which was extremely overpriced), checked myself out, got on my moped and drove myself to a pharmacy. The pharmacist gave me a couple of things costing the equivalent of under £10 and I took them, along with the water from a fresh coconut, and I was right as rain in 48 hours. Phew!
@@lisabeaumont It is amazing how good the pharmacies are overseas!!! truly amazing, you fo anyplace here and a pharmacist really does not seem to want to bother with you because the business is corporate owned and his performance is based on CPA/MBA numbers...
@@stevevernon5038Exactly the same with my husband, who didn’t listen to my advice regarding the jab. He took them and then experienced problems with his hearing; tinnitus and deafness. After having the hearing tests at the hospital he was sent to have a brain scan too. Luckily this was in the UK so didn’t have to pay separately. However, he had paid into the system for almost 50 years!
Oh my goodness! Wow, that is unbelievable. But I believe it.
my doctor told me i was diabetic, another doctor told me i was not even close . medications should never be advertising on TV
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.
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. :)
Same here. Thank you
The statins I've heard cause memory loss/dementia. Never take them.😢
@@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 TH-cam 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.)
You are right but Americans deserve to live in a country where chronic nursing is covered by insurance (only acute nursing is covered), and Americans should be able to trust the healthcare system. Right now, the healthcare system serves investors and shareholders before it serves patients.
I'm over 70 and I never go to doctors so I have no problem.
Yep I am 76 and convinced this is the only way to go. If its my time I will at least had a good quality of life and not a ton of pills.
Ditto john 75 and going good.
I have noticed that the people in the medical industry (and this includes vets) have grown to hate their patients. They are almost pathological at this point... no empathy at all. I am assuming it has been worked out of them, with demands for overnight shifts and working without enough staff. But I do my best to stay away and I do my best to keep my pets away. They have also come up with new quid pro quos... my vet wouldn't not give my pet a needed prescription unless I took him in each year for a check up... that was not at all necessary - she just wanted more money.
I agree with everything word , especially about the vets …. They know how to emotionally squeeze more money out of you than is necessary!
This is very valuable advice.
My vet just got bought out by a corporate chain and started doing the no meds without an annual checkup thing. So annoying (and costly).
Fortunately, I have a good doctor and vet. But , it took a lot to find them.
Met the supplement sales rep in the vet waiting room and heard his recommendations. When the vet saw me she repeated his words verbatim.
As an Emergency RN in the USA I can't thank you enough for real talk. I try to have these conversations with people and they just don't understand. I've lived on the inside of the hospital walls for over 20 yrs as a provider and absolutely never want to enter as a patient. I finally was able to escape the bedside and am thriving!
I refused the jabs and got fired. No respect for these monsters !!!!! After many years in the OR, assisting on mostly elective procedures, I can say, the system has become corrupt to a degree of exploitation and extortion. When non profit became corporations the flags were up.......My own hospital made it on the Forbes list ! What a clue !!!!! Patients are clients......who PAY for these questionable services. Humanity is gone.....finished. Remember HIPPA ? It was not to protect the privacy of patients but to protect the legal department, so they may wiggle around and not pay for their mistakes, using HIPPA as an excuse. What scares hospitals ? Law suits !!!!! they are terrified of them ! Someone forgets a lap sponge in a patient ? they also wiggle around as they pretend to be on the side of the patient , while negotiating on the minimized amount of money they will pay for that "injury ". Employees get more restrictions....less raises and no bonuses while the CEO makes millions.
I’m an ER ( A&E) RN in the UK. I’ve had enough! I’m out and doing something else! I’m thriving! I became an RN to help people...but the system was killing me
@@FoxyUSAx I am so glad to see another one escape. It was like being in an abusive relationship working in the hospital.
@@heatherlott1342 gosh Heather....you nailed it. It’s exactly that. When I try and tell younger new nurses this...they don’t believe me. But in time they will...
Well I’m going into Nursing.
When my elderly parents were in hospital, I sat with them until I got kicked out at day’s end, then returned the following morn. We must be on the defensive and advocate for ourselves and our frail elders. Thank you, Dr. Dhand. Kudos to you.
Violation of guardian rights making you leave!
😢
I slept in a chair and saved my dtr - almost killed her with remicade and a box of bills - prednisone- all for vaccine damage as a child and I didn't figure it out yet - I got sued for taking her off the poison - yes - its true
They tried twice to get me to approve euthanizing my elderly mother against her health care directive. They claimed she was brain dead when she wasn't. You must have an advocate and be adamant with them or you won't last long. It's really really bad. They don't care about the elderly.
Look after your love one's in hospital these days. Trust no one 😊 be prepared to speak up as the sick can't
My mother is at a respiratory specialty care facility that refused to provide any healthy tube feed nutrition. She came in to that facility and was loosing 3 pounds per day. Dr refuses to allow her more than a pint of water per day and the tube feeds are little pea protein in the main ingredient of glucose. She can't survive on sugar and poor quality protein. The evil people call it "perfect nutrition" and just told me to take her home to die, rather than letting her have a new formula. Please pray for us for help and direction and Mom's life.
When my Dad was hospitalized in MD there were loads of doctors from John's Hopkins padding his bill. By the time I got there he had spent 2 weeks there. He was.diagnosed with heart failure. He was put on 13 meds. Part of his bill was a daily visit by the head of plastic surgery who showed up to visit for two weeks because he claimed that my Dad might need part of his lower leg removed! Once we arrived we stayed for three months and never left his side. All meds were removed except three. The side effects disappeared.! We brought all my of his meals in. Including cases of filtered spring water. We also went over his bill with a fine toothed comb and have the 100,000 part billed by the plastic surgeon removed. He was also billed for six knee replacements. Check those bills. They are ripping you off. This hospital planned knew that they could send this into his insurance carrier and get paid no questions asked. Thank God we removed him from that hospital.
This is astounding. And ENRAGING.
Plastic Surgeon showed up for 3 weeks to reconstruct his existing leg? I don't get it...
I was once in ER, unable to urinate. The only person working on me was a nurse. Few weeks later I got the bill full of names...doctors that newer saw me. I fought the bill tooth and nail.
I wasn't just going to pay it...
And he walked out of there with both legs intact i am sensing.
They are ripping us off because they can, and the system allows it. Moreover, people are too honest and kind to argue their bills.
Thanks to Fauci and company, I spent 3 weeks in ICU alone in 2021. You are right, nurses are heroes. Once I got to recovery I had my husband bring me blueberries and other healthy foods. My bill was $244,601.01
Thankfully I have insurance but the bill should be sent to the psychopaths that caused the plague.
BTW, No insurance company will be paying that bill. It’ll be a fraction of that.
But without the government who would protect us from viruses they create?!?!?
Get ready! Those same psychopaths have a new game and you are one of the targets once more.
I had to laugh. That $1.01 makes all the difference 😆
Send the bill to Fauci. He got LOTS of big pharma money!
Thank you. As an aging RN I can tell you I've seen the profit motive destroy the U.S. healthcare system which was nonprofit when I was a child in the 1950s and 1960s. I've had some terrible experiences lately. Don't even want to go to the doctor anymore. It's 90 percent lifestyle.
That's a VERY key issue.
The emphasis on patient care refocused upon shareholder care. And Big Pharma has money stuffed deep into the pockets of everyone in DC and the AMA, NIH, etc...
Absolutely!!!
thankyou for your service as a caring thoughtful nurse. the change to for profit is a horrible situation. i think maybe the change from calling people clients rather than patients was a serious error. language is an important precursor for change.
Not to mention how they come the room around 4:00 wanting blood every three hrs
good evening Sir. I just wanted to tell you that I haven't taken any medication for the past three and a half years. I'm 65 years old. I never thought I would live this long. after cancer I thought I was done. but Im still here. I was told if I stoped the drugs I would be dead in six months. I'm still here!
Give 'em hell !
Bless you with good health… God is our Devine healer🙏🏻
Good for you, blessings.💜
That is Awesome!!
While there is no pill for every ill, there is an ill following every pill
In early 70s I was in university studying for RN. When we get to pharmacology I couldn't believe the science and practice was for treatment not cure, it is was all too much for me. I had a moral delima and left this course and went down the natural holistic path. Studied Nutrition, Herbology, Iridology, Homeopathic Medicine,and usd all these in my life's service to others. It has sustained me thru my life, I am almost 70,and I believe I am what I eat and think.
Thank you Dr for standing in the gap to call out the alarm against all that will come against us.
A predatory system
Full of narcissists who feel entitled to your time, body and money.
Many doctors in the USA cannot think outside of the box! Cookie-cutter medicine is practiced and I have found very few doctors who can take a patient who is ill and customize their care. I am a former nurse and I agree with this video and I have shared it with others. Thank you, Dr. Dhand.
That is just not fair to doctors, DO YOU KNOW that Austria with 10 million people has TWICE the number of physicians per capita as the USA.... WE HAVE TO IMPORT our doctors because it costs too much to educate them here! and over 30% of our doctors are foreign born and the AMA has colluded with this... don't kid yourself, nobody in the top 10% really believes the proletariat deserves anything but an inflation raise for us despite our experience. and life long learning... that is why the top 10% continues to import immigrants....the so-called talented tenth who have benefited from our politicians who they have BOUGHT BODY and SOUL...
Maybe once AI robots are doing the diagnostics and determining treatment, things will improve 😬
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Dont count on it, Drs now in the USA are working for the Oligarchs and they write the protocols for treatment...or is it the AMA who is linked to Pig Farma... I wish I could agree with you but frankly the coding overhead would never end until you have centralized medical care and that aint going to happen here because we have so many insurance companies owned by the Oligarchs..
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Please do not count on it. AI is processing insurance claims and making mistakes, making people think they are not covered for things that they are covered for.
It's not that they can't think out of box. It is that the lawyers run the country, and if doctors dare to do anything remotely different, they open themselves up to legal liability.
I have a friend who is 74. He’s on 21 different medications!
He’s been suffering symptoms of severe shortness of breath and fatigue since he got the shots in 2020. Doctor’s can’t find a thing wrong with him, but they sure do a lot of testing. Besides the shots, he eats a ton of sugary processed junk. I tried to suggest that he eliminates the junk and eat real foods. He actually said, “I can’t imagine that nutrition has anything to do with my condition.”
He’s in the hospital right now and thinks that he’s going to get better because “there’s at least a dozen different doctors in and out of my room every day. They’ll get it figured out.”
Can’t talk about word of sense to him since he completely trusts the doctors. Very sad!
Yes it is sad and you have to leave your friend where you find him. He is addicted to the sugar which fogs up his ability to think clearly. Even if you could convince him to make the slightest change, he would fight you tooth and nail. Just leave him where you find him.
If he instead of the tax payer was paying for it,he may change his mind.
Some recommended things he can take or do:
-ETDA chelation infused with Vitamin C
-Dr. McCullough's recommend #de #tox as it's the first in a medical journal
-Ivermectin
My ol man was like that-- never argued with a Dr in his life, but I’m not built the same way. He was lucky & had good care. I saw to that!
It's actually more stupid than sad. We have a responsibility in this relationship too.
I work for NSW health in Australia. I am a research nurse. You are absolutely spot on with your assessment Dr Suneel. It’s terrifying what is happening with general medicine, chronic care and emergency care. Terrifying.
Infigured our system would be just as bad as those in other countries.
When you are a customer they have to sell you something. To a hammer everything looks like a nail.
I might see my MD every 2 years to continue of hypertension meds. I hit Medicare age and all of a sudden, my same MD needs to see me every three months now!!! Money grab comes to mind.
Unfortunately, it's usually required by Medicare to make sure folks on medication are being seen by a physician to show that they need the medication and it's the correct dose.
Cut back on your carbs. See what happens.
How ‘young’ are you? Try reading the book by John W Armstrong ‘The Water Of Life’. And don’t miss Jake Ames MD, HMD ‘40 Postulates About How Urine Fasting Benefits YOU’. And best of luck.
The Godfather by Mario Puzo . . . a good read !
@@gjsmimi4474 To me that means that they are in cahoots with each other to make sure the elderly person is stuck in the system. I don't believe for a second that it is because Medicare loves the person more than the previous insurer! That just tells me that there is even more manipulation for the person's money.
Retired nurse here. Good luck with putting yourself under the tender mercies of the corporate medicine algorithms.
Virtually every issue I’ve had, the medical establishment screwed up. Went carnivore 6 years ago (69 year old male), and every issue I had disappeared including 50 years of IBS, lack of libido, skin tags, rashes, bloating, weight gain, mental and physical fatigue, etc. Now I feel fantastic and spend my “medical” money on bacon & eggs, and rib eye steak. Never felt as good as I do now.
We have so many educational resources - research your conditions thoroughly, don’t just trust one source, and find your own solutions.
👏👏
Happened to my elderly mom. She paid for decades into her health care system. Once when she went to the ER they did not have an open room anywhere in the system because of so many illegals. She spent two days in extreme pain on a hard ER cot before they could admit her into a room.
The illegals are more important and their lives matter more than American citizens who pay taxes that go to fund their free ride
Not because of illegals! Liste, even Dr. D. says it’s the SYSTEM! It’s corrupt and needs you to believe it’s some random person taking it away from you. Wake up!
Cruel bastards
Interesting that you have 3 replies to your comment but none of them are showing up. "Someone" is trying to hide what they said. I am so sorry about what happened to your mom. I truly believe that what happened to her is going to be a common occurrence in the U.S..
Illegals/immigrants is #4 in the PLANTATION PLAN.... Denial, Delay, Distract, DIVIDE... Remember we live in a Christian country, where SLAVERY was in place for almost 2.5 CENTURIES... and if didn't just happen....IT WAS A SYSTEM... and the system has devolved since the soldiers who fought in WW2 retired...
Australia is exactly the same. There should be a sign at every hospital entrance -"Enter at own risk".
Or "abandon hope all ye who enter here".
Thank you for this informative and important video. After my heart attack in 2016, I was put on statins, from which I had a horrible reaction. Turns out that statins aren't good for post-menopausal women. I decided to go holistic, and now am in better health without statins or other meds. I go to a naturopath, which is not covered by insurance if I need medical advice. Under Medicare I needed a doctor, so went with Kaiser. You get better care in a developing country than with this sad collection of losers. Cranky, incompetent, seriously overweight doctor who didn't even have the social skills to look me in the eye when she talked, told me I was "a walking timebomb" because I refuse to take statins. Does it matter that I am the picture of health? With no issues that most people my age have? No. Does it matter that I meditate and live a happy and healthy life? No. All this inept overpaid physician wanted to do was to continue gaslighting me. I am 66, look 55, and feel like I'm 44. That's what ignoring the biggest scam in the U.S. has given me.
Statins are good for NO ONE. These drugs killed two of my family members. But yes, statins are definitely not good for post menopausal women. The MIC tried that with me and I told them to shove it. I'm healthy and have no comorbidities and they wanted me on a statin because I'm over 50.
Dr Vernon Coleman in the UK has warned people about the healthcare industry for decades.
My husband & I, mid 70s, are healthy, see no doctors, take no meds. On 100% meat-based diet. I have zero inflammation, am "fat adapted", & living on ketones. Nothing tastes better than being healthy & slim feels! I see nothing but positivity moving into old age & eventual death. All is well!
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!
Outstanding comment! Stay happy and healthy!
kathrynpassmore5425,
I'm 68, and I've had very similar experiences with my doctors. Like scheduling me for tests without ever discussing this with me, tests I never received. They called to "remind you of the test you have tomorrow".
-> Based on another comment here, I wonder if Medicare was billed for the tests I never received.
My sentiments exactly!
I didn’t speak up enough when my father was in hospital. I stupidly believed the doctors and nurses. Question everything they say, push back!
❤absolutely agree!!!❤
I have a local hospital trying to bill me for $400 lab work that I never had. They can't provide me with any CPT codes, copies of electronic or paper lab orders, or even the ordering doctor.
I have been fighting with them since November and refuse to give them any money.
@churchofpos2279. I had several bills for lab work show up on a sheet of paid charges my insurance provider sent me that were not mine. I called the insurance company and let them sort it out. Normally I hesitate long and hard before calling any large company like that but decided it was worth the effort and frustration to try and stop fraudulent claims as I was only one who could catch errors at that point.
I never heard another word. Just a suggestion. Good luck
File a complaint with your state Attorney General and county medical society where the hospital is located and send copies to your health insurance company.
Sounds like you are a victim of Medical ID theft. Somebody could have gotten a hold of your insurance info and is using it pretending to be you. It's not unusual nowadays for insurance companies, hospitals and doctors' offices to get hacked. Our insurance Blue Cross was hacked back in 2015 and one of my husband's doctors was also hacked in 2019. We haven't been victims of Medical ID theft but our SSN, DOB, phone and email has been used to try to open credit card and cell phone accounts . Thankfully, the companies recognized it was fraud and didn't approve them.
Take them to small claims court. Their attorney will call you and they will drop the case if you are firm and polite. Don’t agree to pay any of it. Been there.
Extorsion is what we get. The mafia looks really good these days. They have been replaced by these people.
I had a stroke that lasted 30 minutes. I did not go to the hospital for I was in No mood for todays medical incompetences. I’ll live with the problems. Screw the system
Hope your doing ok ❤
Absolutely everything he is saying is true. We have a sick care system, designed to drain your money and before you die prematurely. The cost will only rise as the flood of immigrants are draining our system paid by us. It is despicable. As a nurse I am horrified. Take care of yourself and your loved ones🙏🏻
You’re so right about watching like a hawk.
My wife was in ICU following a stroke in Bristol UK. So many, mostly small, obvious mistakes that when added together, could add up to something major going wrong when she has no voice.
I didn’t hold back and let them know my feelings..several times.
I used to leave every evening in tears not knowing what she’d be like when I got back the following day….
Thankfully she’s home now but I feel her injuries are worse than should have been through inattention.
I also believe the stroke was as a direct result of the poison administered under the guise of Wuhan vaccine… a ticking timebomb that many of us couldn’t avoid due to job insistent policies…
Anyone has the choice to avoid it. Just quit. If enough people had done this they would never try that crap again. We didn’t take that crap.
@@1MSally1965
Your response sounds so harsh.....yet you are absolutely right.
You got tricked and played, they earned $431, they won 👋🏻
Medical incompetence is rampant! Just ONE (I have too many to count) instance taught me how important the phrase, "I want a second opinion" is. Short version elderly woman on new meds in nursing home. The nursing home was very concerned she was having a stroke. Her GP ignored them and said it was nothing. Can't reach the specialist who had prescribed the new med. This went on for almost a week!! I (her guardian) called another doctor affiliated with the hospital, and he immediately lept into action after the magic phrase was uttered and got to the bottom of the problem. The new med she was on caused side effects that mimicked a stroke!! Learn and Use the phrase "I want a second opinion".
I was admitted for acute RCA obstruction. Had PCI done. Was on heparin drip 2 days prior. I have followed low carb keto diet with time restricted eating for years. 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 came upon your videos by accident and you are a breath of fresh air. I'm 67 and my husband is 71 and we do EVERYTHING to stay away from doctors and hospitals and it has served us well. Thank you for the truth.
As a 75 year old integrative psychiatrist I am my own doctor. I would much rather die at home than get some borrowed time in a hospital. I have known many wonderful holistic doctors but the current state of healthcare is not health care at all. It is an endless series of traumatic events.
I’m a RN in the U.S. I don’t have health insurance. I’m not paying for that scam. I take care of my body as best as I can and have no health problems that I am aware of. As far as I’m concerned I’m never going back to a doctor. I work in home health, didn’t take the medical experiment and try to educate my patient’s and their families on good nutrition and healthy living choices.
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.
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
That's why it's called a Medical Cartel!
Re-think your eat no red meat idea. Look up Keto!
Retired R.N. here, you are telling the truth. The entire system needs a paradigm shift.
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.
Wow, I love it that doctors are leaving the practice so they can really help patients.
Well said! Thanks for sharing your perspective. Best Regards, Suneel Dhand
Knowing The Way, The Truth and The Life to be Saved IS the only thing I can think of as More important than having good physical health. 😁⚓️❤️✝️🌟🎁! He gave us The Greatest Gift! His Spirit and Righteousness!!! Thank You Lord!💝!
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.
Thank you for your caring, genuine service to your patients, Mary. It warms my heart to hear that you see your patients as people and not just dollar signs. 👏
I am glad that there are people like you (Dr Dhand) willing to speak up about this.
I am 59 years old, and the urologist removed a tumor from my bladder that was cancerous, the lower variation that did not spread thank God. But now I’m told I need a lifetime ritual of a scope down there every 90 days and I just don’t know what to do other than investigate and figure it out myself.. thank you so much for your videos
Wow, that seems excessive. Maybe a second opinion?
I just wish I had PLATINUM health insurance like the corrupt politicians voted for themselves. instead of my Bronze.
It's sad to say but the best the best Healthcare is cash
Platinum will not get you better care or a hospital room any sooner.
The more health insurance you have the sicker you will be.
Bronze more like nickle
Members of Congress have a WDC small Business Plan Gold Level. They pay premiums for the plan.
I'm 72...the first member of my family to have been born "on the NHS". Grew up with it, and it was always there as a safety net....until about 3 years ago. Now it is practically impossible to see a general practitioner when you need one. I recently realised I have Metabolic Syndrome...High cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, overweight...I'm sorting it myself by cutting refined carbs and snacks, adopting Intermittent Fasting and exercise, etc...impossible to get a doctor's appointment to get checked...The NHS has ceased to care. TH-cam has been more useful than the doctors who are PAID to look after me 😂
Same, been heading into it for 5 years, they all look at me and tell me that's what happens as you age....gr.....
My cousin's wife is a go with the nhs. She is an absolute dresm, a very caring doctor worked to the bone. I don't think it's that the nhs doesn't care. Its just overwhelmed.
Go should be GP. It autocorrected Incorrectly.
Yes I asked at my Gastro appointment today if I could get a metabolic panel because mine is 2 years old. I'm on the carnivore diet and doing really well and wanted to know my metabolic markers to see if what I feel shows up on my tests. She refused me. I'm 62 and trying to get baselines for everything because I have never had insurance. Now that I have health care they just say no to every standard test. It's like not having healthcare at all.
@@aedsell There's a reason NHS is overwhelmed, in spite of lowering standards for entry into the field.
I am in the United States and I have had several family members who died from malpractice as well as some incidents with my own Healthcare which were very questionable. I have got to say I would rather that the system wasn't there for me at all than the way it is. This reminds me of a runaway machine which is randomly killing people and nobody knows how to stop it.
Not to mention the illusion of "preventive care." Most preventive care is structured to bring you into the system for more tests and procedures. This non-practicing nurse is opting out!
Agree👏
Exactly! "Preventive Care" is the biggest crock of BS ever shoved down our throats and people are buying it!! It's just a way to pull people in and find reasons, no matter how small, to do all manner of expensive procedures on them.
I always wondered why they called it preventive care. I never heard of mammograms preventing cancer. I know they are there to detect not prevent. No one has ever said getting them helps you keep from getting cancer.
Right I feel those screenings are for drumming up business
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.
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.
Narcissists
i gave up on the health system around 15 yrs ago..they caused more problems than helped..healthier and happier for life.
Nurses aren’t as good as they used to be. Now people are becoming Nurses for the money.
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.
Nurses should be paid well its a responsible hard job, especially the mental nursing, the problem is the training, and the right type of people for this job. There were plenty of nasty Nurses in the past ,Dr's also😮
Hmmm, this describes every us trained Dr I have ever been to......and they are usually idiots with dollar signs for eyes!!!!!
I think there are many nurses that just decide to become a nurse for the money now days! As a retired nurse i agree! It makes it difficult for the good nurses!
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.
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.
Trust me, standing up for yourself or your loved one goes a long way. I stood between the hospital and my elderly mom. I was a tough advocate for her, and they backed down every time they tried to go out of bounds. 💪👊
The solution is that we quit giving them so much credit and treating them like they’re god…cut the funding that pays their student loans off and subsidies to their clinics to help pay for low income insurance policy payments being lower…etc…make them earn the respect and money they’re taking…
Oh and cut funding for all this medical research we pay for and also pay for its development as if we are shareholders yet we get zero return in our investments…we get charged way more then other countries pay for the use of medical technology we paid to have developed! We get kicked in the teeth regardless
U.S citizen here. I haven't had a physical in over 5 years. A couple years ago I went for physical therapy. Cost me $660. Same year, a follow up mammogram cost me $1200. I have insurance. I had a work bonus that year, all of it went to medical bills. I can't afford this and this system needs to be fixed.
My Precious Lord, I wish Dr. Dhand was my doctor
Dear Sherri, I feel the same way that you do about amazing Dr Dhand. 72 y/o retired RN. Not great health. But, I trust Our Lord for whatever I cannot accomplish in terms of good food and exercise. Peace of mind goes a long way towards longevity I believe. We will all die. Thank you for your comment today. 🙏
You are speaking 100% truth.
When there is no choice there is no freedom.....
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. All at such low prices you can't even believe it. Three lab panels at the most modern lab cost under $45. Crazy. finally getting the help we need (when we need it).
I alwyas wondered why so many Arizonans went to the border towns. Then I got medicare and VA. robomedicines, delays, denied of treatment- better to go abroad and pay cash to doctors who want to practice medicine.
Makes one wonder why so many Mexicans are coming over here.....seems like they have it much better than we do. They even still use pure cane sugar in colas over there, unlike the toxic chemical sweeteners used here.
Wow house call ?!? They are constantly pushing "Telemedicine" in the US. Lazy greedy uncaring slime
You are absolutely over the target. I didn’t realize this truth until a hospital killed my father.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Hue...💐🌹
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.
@@mikeofallon sue
@@lelandsmith2320 I maybe should have - but it probably wasn't enough to attract a good atty. This was many yrs ago - before I knew that you can simply not pay and then get computer generated letters offering to settle for half or less. One bill for $6000 that was particularly ridiculous, I sent them $3000 with a page of explanation which I doubt anyone read. Check cashed, but I never got a reply. Today all those bills would have been at least 5X.
My daughter-in-law went to the ER a few days ago.
Severe headache, High BP, back pain.
She asked for a pillow and a blanket.
Staff told her ...."we are out of pillows and blankets."
Linen is now rationed. Only a certain amount to each unit. And the patient gets charged for each item
It's true as an ER nurse I can tell you we don't get linens on a regular basis. The weekends are the worst and it is not our fault. BTW ER's often don't even have housekeeping they demand the nurses in charge of saving lives change the trash and sweep and mop the floors. I complained about stool and blood on the curtains for over 9 months and no one ever changed them.
fifty $ for a pillow maybe ???? blankets ? $100 ? nothing is FREE.
Now you know to pack your own gear.
@@heatherlott1342 Yep, hospital pharmacist here and it ticks me off daily to see overflowing garbage cans, no toilet paper paper towels in PACU and ASU bathrooms. Filthy floors etc etc
I'm a retired RN. I wrote a book that is available on Amazon (paperback and Kindle). Title: Control Your Medical Care, You can say no. Dr Dhand is preaching to the choir. Good job.
Just went on Amazon to check it out. It’s not popping up. FYI
@@suzannef8108 HI. You need to look under Books, then title. It pops up then. Hope you benefit from my experiences and recommendations.
I work as a Phlebotomist in a hospital and get so frustrated with doctors putting in duplicate orders because they can't be bothered to see what's already been ordered or already been done. Technically I should have "Babysitter" on my resume because I'm always double checking them and if I didn't that patient would be getting charged for a test that's already been done plus the aggravation of them getting stuck with a needle when it's not necessary. This is why if I'm ever a patient I will be paying close attention to this nonsense.
Duplicate charges are rampant - even the overpriced aspirin. Legit claims are often rejected - just to see if the insured will fight it. But big insurers do not even have a way for insureds to report when a doc's visit in a hospital was not even performed at all. They accept a doc's bill always. I once had 6 docs within an hour pop in to see my possibly infected ankle (it wasn't) - avg time was 30 seconds. Of course they were all on the bill. This was at a well-regarded hospital in a major city.
Hospital pharmacist here. When we actually page and try to get the so called Dr to d/c all of their duplicates , they play dumb and pretend like they dont understand OR they do not know how to do it. This from supposed intelligent people who went to medical school for years?!?
Hospital RN, we do acute care, ortho, and birth babies pretty good. But if you have multiple system dysfunction including obesity, high bp, diabetes, cancer, well, you may be better off buying a juicer and exercising.
exactly cut the carbs seed oils eat salad at noon beans and lentils at supper and no snacks it worked for me lost 30 pounds and blood glucose went from 10.2 to 5.1 , I was watching the price is right from the 70's reruns , oh my the people were thin and very healthy , now look at them on the new price is right they look half dead and full of prescription's .
Juicing? Exercise? Intermittent-and extended-fasting are more effective; trust me I know from direct experience.
Ha...ha....so true . Watch out for that sugar in the juices......not good for the diabetes......
@@oldbiker9739 Yes, but juicing veggies, not fruits. Way too much sugar in fruits, but great micronutrients. Maybe 80% veggies?
Ordering more and more tests…mammo colonoscopy. Etc…
I hate the healthcare and pharm industries!!!!!!! I eat nutritious foods, exercise daily and pray constantly. I have been to the doctors office only a few times in the past 35 years. I am 62 years young and am doing just fine, thank you very much!
Suneel is right. I'm terribly allergic to white coats.
Very well said. As a practicing EM physician, I would like to second everything you mentioned. The system is collapsing. I now function not only as an EM physician but also as a hospitalist due to a lack of inpatient beds and a primary care physician due to lack of access. It's not a sustainable system.
As an ER nurse I feel forced to neglect patients as I cannot give them the care they need and deserve because we are overburdened and understaffed. Then in the US when there are no beds the ER becomes every other unit, Medsurg, ICU, OB, just insane.
I agree. Its getting dangerous. I also don't see anyone discussing how we are going to fix this. @@heatherlott1342
I went to the Emergency Room at Northwestern M. Hospital, which is rated No. 1 in Chicago Illinois. I had a horrible experience. The system is completely broken. I was put in an old building in the hospital. There was 28-30 rooms on that floor and only one shower on the whole floor. Two rooms shared one bathroom. The bathroom was not clean until I complained about the items that were left from the previous patient. One shower for 28-30 sick patients. Shameful , disgusting and unacceptable treatment from a hospital that ranks itself as No. 1.🇺🇸
Couldn't agree more! Haven't had a doctor since 2004. Did go to a urgent care place in 2009 for a UTI, needed antibiotic. No regular meds whole life, I'm 71 smoke/ have some drinks, eat once a day that's how I've always been. I don't want to live a long time, but want to do it my way. Oh, never got jab or covid- knew right off it was bullshit!
My mom was near death in the hospital from her unmanaged type 2 diabetes, and they fed her meals that were 50% carbs the entire time she was there. Unless you need to be physically put back together from an accident, a hospital is where one goes to die.
For a minor outpatient, local anesthesia surgery we were charged $175 for the use of a single Sharpie marker to draw a small x on the incision site. Not even for marking the point…they charged for the Sharpie marker. Then we were charged $850 for my wife to lay in a bed in the middle of a hallway with a curtain pulled around it for one hour prior to the procedure….nearly twice what we paid in rent for a whole apartment per month for one hour in a bed in the middle of the hallway. Then $185 “specimen transport fee” which was LITERALLY one dude walking a vial of blood less than 12 feet down the hallway from where the blood was drawn. $185 for taking 5 or 6 steps down the hallway.
so sorry for this outrage. also hoping your wife is well. its kinda like a learning curve when basic tenets r shot down like medecine is a cure.
Feel for you. Glad I live in Australia where all this would be free of charge with our universal healthcare
@@debbieanne7962 Someone is paying for it. Nothing is "free."
WOW! No wonder people can not afford hospital care!
In Abilene TX we have a giant monopoly disease maintenance corporation . It has metastasized all over the town of around 120,000 people. It actually took over the old Sears retail store to handle it's medical supplies. It seems obvious to me that if a city this size requires a behemoth "medical" tumor this big, there is something seriously wrong with our entire social order.
Autoimmune diseases
@@TinyBaluga Yes, and we know what caused them!
Unless your loved one is in ICU with better nurse:patient ratios, never leave their side. I agree with Dr. Dhand!
You know it's bad when an actual doctor slams the entire medical system. You go Dr. Suneel! Thank you for being so transparent. God bless you always. 🙏✝️🕊️🌹🤗
I am a diabetic in remission for 3-years with a HbA1c of 5.6%. Since my GP's clinic is under new management, he has gone from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, insisting that I should be on Metformin. I asked him, "why should I take Metformin if my HbA1c and fasting glucose are within normal range," a question that upset him, a question he never really answered.
I was in my early 30s and had a very irregular EKG. I was rushed to the hospital ER and put in the heart patient room I was there from early in the morning till about six at night. No one came to ask me anything or monitor my heart…. they told me the cardiologist would be in later that evening. After the first few hours I went to the desk to ask why I am was not being monitored, and they asked me who my nurse was!!! I told them I am the one who came in by ambulance with heart issues! I told them if the doctor is not here soon I’m leaving and I said, by the way, I should be attached to heart monitors and a blood pressure monitor! My car was at my doctors office, so I called my neighbor to pick me up.. I left in a furt with the cardiologist, running out the door after me . I told him what horrible care they’re hospital provided and he told me I could die in the street and I said yes, but that’s my choice. I said big deal.. Your ER staff did not do absolutely anything but sit at the front desk laugh talk and gossip. I said with this kind of care I’ll take my chances and I left… by the way I had worked in a hospital for more than 15 years.
Good for you. Take control of your own health.
Agree 100% about USa health care, not able to see primary care doctors if pain , only you can talk to receptionist after “ press” 1 or 2 . Receptionist send you 911, not able even talk to nurse. My family doctor prescribed hight dosages of bp medication , I just take 1 pills and bp went to from 160/90 to 110/56. I called because I was weak , but nurse call me back next day . I stop take medication and feel better after 48 h.I’m don’t trust doctors . First thing he ask me at appointment time-did l do fly shots ! Not about how I feeling!!! After exident with bp medication he changed dosage in half. Maybe will be better starting with lover dosage!! I m not mouse, but was treated as a mouse.. time appointment just 5-10 m , most of the time sitting in room and waiting. No respect to patients.
I went to an Urgent Care owned by a major University hospital system. I had a sore throat and asked for a flu and strep test. The bill: $824.55. Adjusted down to $608 because I have health insurance. I later found out that had I said "I have insurance but don't want to use it," I would have paid $318 which is the "self-pay" rate. I only discovered this by checking the hospital's pricing transparency file. Lesson learned: compare the insurance and self-pay rates. Paradoxically, sometimes it's more economical to have insurance but not use it.
Thanks, Dr Suneel Dhand. You are saving so many lives around the world by exposing the underbelly of the medical world.
Agree with you... Health and Government agencies have been captured and corrupted... stand up for your rights, take control of your health.

2 days in the hospital for a chainsaw to the head. The blade started into my skull, but got stopped by my 2 head scarves. I wear a safety helmet now. The wound was not treated, while waiting for surgery. They just let it ooze blood for 2 days. At one point I applied toilet paper to staunch the bleeding. It got taken off, I got yelled at, and we were black to oozing blood. Finally, after 2 days, I got surgery to repair the wound. Thankfully the plastic surgeon did an honestly bang up job, and I was OUT. I got lost wandering around the hospital. There was no checkout. I was just told to leave the trauma unit. Finally, a nurse helped me where to go. Btw, in 2 days, I only had one small dietetic cup of jello, and a carton of milk for food. Im not diabetic, and in fact, fake sugar makes me ill, and am allergic to milk. Lovely. First thing my friend did, was take me to McDonalds, and I had a fishburger meal . Feel free to message me if you know this hospital: Childrens University Hospital, El Paso TX.
Last trip to urgent care the staff were more interested in keeping you in system and billing your insurance than actually providing health care!😢😮
My doctor poisoned me with a benzo for over 4 years. Nobody could figure out why I was so sick. I'm off this horrible drug now but even after 2 years I still can't function. Canadian health care is awful too- I've been waiting for 2 years to have thyroid nodules biopsied, cataract surgery and knee surgery. I can't even leave my house anymore.
I'm sorry you aren't doing well. Maybe look into castor oil drops for the cataracts, and real olive oil for the knee. Lugol's maybe for the thyroid? Do your research... Hope you feel better soon.
I am sorry for you. A Canadian 81 years old here. I have had all your illnesses. Seen and diagnostic and treated within 2 months. Are you living in remote rural areas? That could explain
Activated charcoal is a great detoxifier. Fresh juicing is a great idea too. Find a way that easy for you...
Mindlessly following the protocol...is a problem on every level of this system....
I was lucky to have discovered these truths early in life when i was verbally abused by my family doctor when I was 20 years old. I learned then and there, through tears, how corrupt doctors can be and that it is essential to use them sparingly and only as consultants and rarely, as surgeons.
I just love you Dr Dhand ! I am a retired US Nurse and I can say that you are 100% correct. I see insurance as a big problem, they dictate what and how your doctor should treat the patient and if they don't then the insurance company will remove them from their list of participating doctors. I now live in India due to marrying a Indian man. I can say that the same problem of being sucked in is here as well now and they seem to be proud of having gone to this big pharma route. Thank you for your vids.
Wow never that this explains a lot👍
Insurance is a big problem in the USA. However, many people pick Medicare Advantage over traditional Medicare Supplements & then cry when they get a bill or can't get what they want. You either pay up front/traditional or you pay nothing, then cry when something happens. I really don't have the patience to hear people whining on Medicare Advantage when the hospitals send you home. You paid nothing & expect red carpet treatment.
@@RG-hf4etI am an RN not currently practicing. Several of my RN friends post "public service announcements" during open enrollment every year to remind people NOT to sign up for Medicare Advantage. Traditional medicare with a supplement is expensive, but definitely worth it which you quickly find out if you are in a bad accident or have a catastrophic illness
Here is the thing: It should be called SICK CARE, not health care just to start.
