Truth Thank You Dr.
you to Doc, Thanks 🙏🤗✌
You are so right, I once say an energetic elderly lady that didn't need anything to walk, she once slipped (floor was wet) , got bed ridden, she never got physiotherapy. Even worse she was coco positive (not sick), then they put her in the same room as someone that was super sick coughing, they literally sended her to her death sentence. We had enough rooms, we had 20 empty rooms ready. I was not a nurse or a caretaker just a low-lvl employee....
Exactly what happens. My aunt was hospitalized for a fall at 94 years of age. Up to that point she used a walker when needed, but was in reasonably good health. They used a lift to sit her in chair except for one aide who defied orders and helped her transfer out of bed. I requested physio or at least to let her dangle on side of bed, but no. She became so weak a using home was only option. Nurses told me I could probably get her physio there, though I would likely have to pay for it. When they transferred her to only available nursing home bed I learned they had one physio aide available for 200 residents and the policy was to keep people safe by trapping them in bed or geriatric chair. I spoke to physiotherapy association, and an assessment was covered and from the day she was in there I had her doing range of motion, leg lifts and hand weights. The assessment went well and she got to walk about 20 feet the first day, but physiotherapist to come every 2 weeks and aide to help her stand from chair to railing one a day. I hid the foot rests on her chair and got her to propel with her feet and hall railing, because they would not issue her a regular wheelchair to use as the occupational therapist in charge of physio too would not agree to it. The 2nd session she walked about 40 feet, but she died before her third chance, approximately 6 months after her initial hospitalization.
The previous time she was hospitalized for sun stroke, I signed her out myself after a week and managed with minimal home care in her own house. But this time they managed to give her pneumonia and she was too weak. Oh, plus the hospital gave her, both times, T3s every 4 hours for "generalized pain" which she had very little of. Dr. Dhani, I am certain you are aware of how well the elderly metabolize codeine, but nobody in our large teaching hospital seemed to be.
1. Make sure the hospital know the exact medication list. That way they don't get out dated or wrong meds.
2. Not having a clear plan of what's going on. Talk to the doctor in charge to find the diagnosis and prognosis.
3. Sinking in bed syndrome must be stopped to prevent them from getting weaker. Get the patient moving 3 times a day.
My husband's terminal illness opened my eyes to the fact that - in a hospital as well as in a nursing home - you have to be with your loved one 24/7.
Might as well just keep them at home and get a home health nurse to come in to take care of them. It would be better.
Even then….even with one of my sisters or myself there every day, a nursing home nearly killed my dad several years ago, he never got the PT that he was supposed to be getting, allowed to become constipated and ended up with sepsis. By God’s grace, he survived that, but I haVe no doubt that it contributed to his death months later, having been laid so low. Today’s standards of “care” are pathetic, to say it kindly.
I won't be using hospitals again in my life. I will take my chances elsewhere, having lost all my trust in the medical establishment. Some individual doctors, however, did save our skins by speaking out. The rest were cowards, IMHO.

many paid with their lifes ...speaking
Or incompetent, gullible fools.
Lost wedding ring and watch because of an mri at4a m. Yes in there a week and never got up had to go to rehab to walk again. Aultman in Canton oh
@bobgillis I feel the same way, Bob! Years ago, the health care system care about their patients. Now it seems like nothing but a money making system...they try to get you to do every test they possibly can, so they can "find" something wrong with you to add you to their ongoing patient/clientele list to see every 3-4 months. Not to mention, see how many prescriptions they can give you too...because you "need" it.
We took my dad to the ER as he was choking and couldn’t get the food out. They put him in a room and we waited all day for someone to do something while he was choking and coughing. One by one, doctors came into the room, scanned the bar code on his chart and left without saying a word or examining him. We kept asking for help. Finally a doctor came to help him. Fast forward. Now the bills came rolling in. Every doctor that came into his room charged him a huge fee for doing nothing except scanning the bar code on his chart. This is a crime and doctors can be thieves. Question everything.
100% CORRECT. YOUR LIFE, YOU DECIDE
Thanks, Dr. Dhand! The Hospital in Michigan killed my wife's Mother there were cover-ups and misdiagnoses, and a Pulmonest blew one of her lungs, out. Her colon was ruptured during a colonoscopy. They had her on heavy steroids which made her extremely agitated. When she passed there was a grapefruit-sized bed sore on this poor lady's back! People do not leave loved ones unattended if they are in a hospital, document everything! Question everything! We were young back then and easily intimidated by doctors, now, a lot older we know a lot more than at that time, Thanks, again Dr. Dhand!
My husband was also a victim of an incompetent hospital. The result was his premature death.
Horrendous, condolences
I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife’s mother. This situation sounds horrible. So tragic. Your family is sincerely in my prayers.
I'm sorry for your loss. Now, I'm scared to have my upcoming colonoscopy 😢😢😢
I'm so sorry you went through that.
Avoiding prescription drugs is the first step to preventing stays at a hospital.
Watch out for the abusive nurses too. My husband, who was a physician, died 5 years ago from cancer. While he was in the hospital I had to report 2 nurses for abusive behavior towards him. If it's happening to a doctor, it's happening to others. Keep a close eye on your loved one, they are vulnerable in there and don't put up with it.
File criminal charges on the sadistic psychopaths!
I just made a comment here about a recent emergency room visit I had. I swear I was so abused, I left there thinking that we should all be just as concerned about nurse abuse as we are police officers! I called the patient advocate at the hospital. It turned out we knew each other, she was a 40 year nurse that was about to retire and she told me that nurses have gotten out of hand and they have way too much power and that their greatest entertainment and "team sport" is picking favorites and least favorite patients. I was so traumatized by my ER stay, and I work in healthcare! ( I am an interfaith healthcare chaplain)
I am so sorry for your loss.
Finally somebody speaks the truth about those criminals known as nurses. If there was an actual investigation on every single of these rats, there would be no nurses anymore in the world, as they all would be charged with more than one cases of negligence and/or MURDER.
A senior nurse at NPH abused my mum whilst she was on dialysis. It was horrible
About 25 years ago a hospital nearly killed my dad putting a main line in. They nicked his heart and put him in cardiac arrest. He was then in a coma for ten days and they told us he was brain dead, which he was not. They pulled his nutrition and put him on a morphine drip to finish him off. He came out of it and was fully brain functional.
A miracle - your Dad's story is so uplifting, but it is so sad that we have to be happy about the fact that the hospital people didn't kill him! It feels like a Russian roulette . My Dad was not so lucky, they did very similar thing to him , and in the end starved him to death , although I fought for him with all my power. But I couldn't be with him 24/7 for that long , and after 6 weeks they finally got to him. God bless you
Horrendous. May God bless you.
This trend of starving and sedating someone to death is extremely cruel as water is denied as well. It is called in the UK the Liverpool pathway, and I am certain was banned over 10 years ago. But it was then still used covertly at times and I came across it in a companion of mine who I was helping to care for as a friend in an NHS hospital geriatric ward. I fought it and eventually was given a sponge to give him water, as I had Power of Attorney for him. He was dying anyway at 89 with a terminal illness, but I think they do it to gain a bed, so short of resources are they. No government has kept pace with the steady increase of population over decades. The Hippocratic Oath has become meaningless I couldn’t take him home as he had broken his femur and they would not operate because they allowed him to develop pneumonia, but he was very compos mentis and intelligent. It was shocking. +
@@kittykatty2898I'm sorry for your loss.
How scary and sad.
I’ve never raised my voice to health professionals. But so called health professionals have regularly raised their voice to me.
intimidation makes up for incompetence
Had I been compliant 18 years ago with our child's gp and specialist he'd be dead.
To say the state of Healthcare in the US is horrendous is an absolute understatement. Not just in hospitals, it is accross the board.
I have known this and watched it get worse for decades, as big money has sunk it's rabid teeth in deeper and deeper, but the point was really driven home as I witnessed the many hospital visits and stays my parents both had toward the end of their lives.
This madness has to stop.
Bring back the "Health" and "Care" to healthcare and kick the profit and greed for power motives out!
We have what you call universal healthcare here in Mexico and it’s a nightmare. I’d rather pay for private healthcare, it’s not that good either, but I’ve been through our “free healthcare” so many times, enough to work so hard as to not step into another public hospital ever again.
Yes but the situation is just as dire over here 🇬🇧 with socialised medicine.
There is still a profit & economy motive & hospital managers - not medical doctors - rule the roost.
“Care” - people need to re-understand what this is.
Not just in America
Please please look after yourself, try to be as healthy as you can so you don’t end up in this situation 💪 I’m trying my best whilst I still have a degree of health left, at 62 had no major health issues but time is running out and I seriously do not want to go into a hospital because that will be the end, be your own Doctor Dr Dhand has many videos that have helped me seek out my own information, already I have lowered my blood pressure considerably by finding the slow breathing method which I highly recommend, TH-cam Patrick Mckeown, infact I am thinking about coming off my bp meds have been on these for 12 years and my bp is never lower than 140/90, doing the slow breathing exercises for 6 weeks already my readings on average are 117/ 75 amazing 😊 take care everyone 🙏🙏

When I was in hospital I wanted to get up and use the bathroom. They said I was in danger of falling so I should use a diaper instead. I refused to do that and as soon as they were out of the room I had my wife get me a walker and help me to use the bathroom. The nursing staff came in just as I reached the bathroom and had a hissy fit. I closed the door on them, pooped in private and then hobbled back to my bed when I was done. Later that same day my wife helped me shower. Both activities made me feel SO much better. I think they were doing this so they had less work not to protect me.
Oh, I complained to the doctor and he wrote in my chart I had bathroom and shower privileges as long as my wife was with me or a staff member was present.
I've lost my father earlier today (less than 24 hours ago). He died as a direct result of misdiagnosis. He was 82 years old, but he could have lived at least a couple more years, had he been properly diagnosed and treated.
Worst of all, the doctor who was responsible for my father's treatment is one of the most arrogant people I've ever met in my life, and she is (of course) in complete denial, despite tons of evidence that she has made a very serious mistake.
I'm too sad to be angry right now, but I'm pretty sure I will have a lawyer look into this after the funeral, because in the future, these terrible mistakes must be prevented at all cost, and if nobody complains about obvious medical malpractice, nothing will ever change.
By the way, this is in The Netherlands, where the quality of medical care gets worse every single day. I get the impression though, that it is basically the same picture everywhere.
Thank you very much for your video!
What was the issue what did he have vs misdiagnosed
I’m so sorry for your loss. My father had the best insurance, supposedly the best care at the best hospital . Long story short- they killed him. We took turns standing guard over him.
It helps me to do things in his honor. And to think of the possibility we see them all again someday.
❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. 💔
Very sorry😥💔
My Mam was locked into nursing home during Covid. Her Parkinsons was untreated and she starved to death over 6 months. I watched through a window. . Do you think there is a world wide policy to polish off the old and infirm? Certainly feels like it! 😮
My 54 yr old husband was taken to the hospital in Nov 2021 for non covid related bronchitis. 48 hrs later he coded and died in ICU from cardiac arrest. I talked to him on the Sat he was admitted and then again 2 times on Sunday. He was doing better. Then over night late Sunday, he went into cardiac arrest. They wouldn't let me see him at all due to covid restrictions still being in place. I am heartbroken. I am so lost and devastated without him but even more hurt that I believe this hospital killed my husband. I went to several attorneys to try to sue and they all said I had a case but it would be an uphill fight and the hospitals have more money than God backing them up and they would keep it going until we would have to finally give up due to lack of resources to keep going.
I took the Tony Soprano view of medical treatment. I let the doctor know he would suffer if my mother's care was not his top priority and I didn't care if I went to jail after the fact. Her care dramatically changed for the better after that interaction.
Let me guess: you're a man? I fought for my mom and just got labeled a Karen.
They already killed my mom and it ruined my life because I have to live everyday with the regret and the anger. These hospitals in America are atrocious, the negligence is criminal and they need to be held accountable.
Went through a lot with my Mom in hospital for 10 days in her final days...she had pneumonia..was not given all her meds she'd been on...was not even given food...had excuses for negligence...(I went to the cafeteria and bought food for her and fed it to her)...This was during pandemic and when she went back to nursing home, it was back to window visits for me and they would not let me be with her, even though doctor said she might last 2 months, as in "end of life stage"...she was 90 with dementia....She lasted 4 days after left hospital, but at least she was in her familiar room at the nursing home with her familiar things around her ...passed right before I got there to do the window visit that 4th morning...yes, it still hurts...I understand your pain...I am so sorry...let us be praying for each other....Maria in South Carolina
No sir . . . shouting and screaming are NOT unacceptable. My friends life was saved when his Jewish mother-in-law screamed for the head of the hospital from the middle of the lobby for all to hear. She got the head of the hospital and within 20 minutes my friend was in surgery for a burst appendix.
So you mean acceptable or not, scream and shout for the head of the hospital? Sounds like a good idea, but in the UK they would have the fuzz arrest someone doing that. I can't call them police now. They don't deserve the title. Not here.
The not so loud talker gets talked over and trashed around. Better sometimes to scream and scream out loud regardless of the place or situation.
It is very possible, even probable, he did not need emergency surgery to survive.
"Six of the 8 trials did not find statistically significant differences in the primary outcome between the antibiotic and appendectomy groups. One study reported a statistically significant benefit with surgical treatment, while another showed that antibiotic treatment was superior to appendectomy."
“Considering the incidence of major adverse effects, our meta-analysis pointed to relative safety with both operative and nonoperative approaches for acute uncomplicated appendicitis,”

@@warningsigns4526 I'm Jewish, and while blood is indeed thicker than water for me, money does not talk.
This is what happens when corporations own hospitals. It’s all about the bottom line, cash, and yes, they will put you on a ventilator if Medicare gives them 20 grand extra. Btw, all doctors are aware that the majority of patients that go on a ventilator do not have a good outcome. Very scary times we are in. Sadly.
Dr. Suneel is not ever afraid to tell/speak it like it is!
Unfiltered truth!
Dr. Suneel the true Humanitarian!
I lost my father 6 years ago. The nurse practitioner had told us it was just an infection and they would pump him full of antibiotics and see how he does overnight. Well that night they ended up putting him in a coma and he died later the next day. If the nurse practitioner had been totally up front about the severity of my dads condition I would have stayed the night with him. I lost the last moments of him being awake and conscious because of their poor care. I’m upset about the fact he died but I’m absolutely livid about the last time I saw him alive was while he was comatose. He was on his way out and the doctors just weren’t up front about it. Screw them and the hospitals.
Agree completely. My husband was also a victim of premature death.
I am so terribly, terribly sorry that you experienced the theft of time with your father. Something similar happened to me - you must learn to find a way to make a sort of peace with the reality of what happened or you can spend many years being eaten by the sorrow and righteous but ultimately impotent anger. I know.
@@itsgettingold I’ve come to terms with it. I had little faith in most doctors before that even occurred, but I lost all of what faith I had after he died. In some ways it was a blessing that he passed when he did. If he had lived to see the current circumstances with our government and society in general he probably would have died of a stroke. He wasn’t a perfect man but he was a damn good one and he loved our country and everything it stood for.
@@dislikebutton5722 I feel the same. Peace, friend.
I'm sorry. That sounds terribly traumatic.
Yes, totally agree ,back in 1995 my 80 year old mother was in Upton-Park Hospital in Slough, she died after 3 weeks of non-care from those Nurses they would bring her food at meal times and half an hour later came around collecting the plates after mealtimes, the lady in the next bed told me about a month after my mother died that the staff/nurses didn't seem to care if my mother was eating her meal, and generally were taking away her plate knife & fork with the food still untouched on her plate, so in my book she was starved to death they told me she died of Bronchial Pneumonia, as far as I'm concerned they killed my mother, now every time I remember all this I curse that hospital and the Nurses that are working within its walls, it will haunt me until my last breath on this Earth.
I am very sorry to hear of your tragic experience. How awful. My best to you and yours. Suneel Dhand
I’m sorry your mother was so horribly neglected. When my dad was in hospital (for 8 weeks in 2004), I saw many troubling incidents which have given me a fear of that hospital. A totally blind man beside my dad was left his meal. None of the staff came to help, and he had no family there, so I went over to him. Before he got anything, a horrible, bossy nurse pranced over demanding to know what I was doing. She was one of the staff who really resented us as a family who made sure one of us was always with my dad.
I have seen this happen. When my friend was long term hospitalised I went every day, partly to provide company but also to ensure her welfare. You shouldn’t have to think so defensively but you do.
So very sorry for your loss. My father and mother survived a rehab facility only because a family member was there 24/7. Otherwise they would have starved to death too.
I mean this without Malice. Please get some help for your grief. Cursing says that the bitterness is eating you alive. I understand. My comments about my Mother are above.
Thank you! I had a hysterectomy in 2018 and stayed the night. When my morphine wore off I pressed the red button for a nurse to have some pain medication. No one answered. I lifted myself out of the bed and looked up and down the hall bent over. Finally, I ran into a nurse. I was told by a male nurse that he wasn't aware that I was checked in the room along with patient information missing on me. After this was looked into, I was given pain medication and told all was fixed. I was informed if I needed pain meds to alert the nurse (I set my alarm for six hours ahead to wake myself up before the pain came on too strongly.) After my alarm went off, I pressed the red button. No one showed up. I got up and dressed myself and walked down to check out. I was informed that according to their records I wasn't admitted for an overnight stay. Thank GOD I was fit and strong to take care of myself. I always after an elective or needed surgery take IBU after the first 24 hours following surgery. I feel for those who are completely dependent on others. 🙏
I have several stories, unfortunately. I have one other that I will share. I have a female nurse as a friend and she and her Dr. husband contacted Covid in 2021. Both admitted themselves to the hospital and both needed oxygen. The Dr. on shift advised them to have the Covid vaccine. (Both did not inform the staff of their professions.) This Dr. and nurse asked: Why would you insist on me having the Covid vaccine when my immune system is on overload and I'm using an oxygen tank to breathe? Surely, this would kill me. 🙏👎
I am a nurse I will never go into hospital, the care over the 25 years has been so evil what I have witnessed. Thank you for telling the truth.
Nurse since 1979 I have seen sooo many horror in the hospital. Retired 2020, now, no doctors, no medicines, no hospital.
No screaming here. While I was the care giver for my mother, I often accompanied her for her Dr visits. She was dismissed by the Dr because we both asked questions about her ailments particularly her arthritis. No help.
I'd go further and say that checking there is no "Do Not Resuscitate' note at the end of the bed, and also find out what painkillers are being used, as they can suppress breathing and cause unexpected and unnecessary deaths. Yes, it is true!
It was terrible. Good friend called me to say his brother was hospitalized not for respiratory illness reasons. Knew exactly what was about to happen. Had a very direct conversation with my friend urging him to get his brother out. As expected they PCR test. Start the protocol. Of Remdesivir and ventilating. Dies in the ICU. My friend also knew what they were doing in the hospital and was not able to get him out in time. Can guess what they put on the death certificate. Pay day for the hospital. Another statistic to spread fear.
Modern day gas chamber.
Remdisiver was so toxic, it couldn't get approval for cancer treatment. Dr. Death repurposed for covid. Nurses called it the angel of death...
I was just a patient in an emergency department due to acute onset of life threatening tickborne illness (babesia). I was mentally altered due to parasite. I asked for a controlled substance for my severe pain. The whole care team turned on me and treated me like a drug seeker and wrote terrible things on my permanent healthcare record. Little did they know I am an interfaith healthcare chaplain and I have worked in many level 1 trauma centers. I was bullied and terrified. ALWAYS bring a family member or friend who can communicate your wellness baseline. I went by ambulance so I did not have an advocate.
Understood. My niece was also burdened with a parasite. Getting treatment was impossible. And she also got accused of looking to get drugs. It took moving to 3 different states to finally getting someone to treat her for the parasite.
@@cwebr789 I hope she is OK sorry she had to endure that....
What treatment did you get for parasite?
@@janetedddddazithromycin & atovoquone for 10 days
When my 85 year old mother was in the hospital last year, both my sister and I visited her every day and made sure she received the treatment she deserved! …And when she went to rehab and the rehab facility didn’t give her the right medication, fed her horrible food, and misnamed her, we pulled her out of there ASAP!!! Patients absolutely NEED their children and/or other family members and friends to advocate for them or they can easily fall through the cracks! 😢 Unfortunately, our healthcare system is pretty broken, at this point.
I've been a healthcare worker for 28 yrs primarily in hospitals and the last few years with hospitalists has been a rough go. Just recently I had conflicting orders by both the night and day hospitalist and their take on what the patient needed which resulted in a heated discussion with the oncoming staff. It was a long night and I didn't want to deal with the issues the oncoming staff had and especially when the doctors have differing opinions on what needs to be done. When I first started 28 yrs ago you KNEW who was in charge at all times when hospitalist started it became a puzzle trying to figure who needed to be the ultimate in charge. Times have changed and it makes it hard to take care of patients/family members.
Hospitalist taking over care of a patient that they don't know is not usually the best. I felt better when your family doctor continued care. The patients liked and trusted the family doctor. They become unhappy with hospitalists because they don't know/trust them. It's become impersonal and that can never make your care better.
This is truth!
@@jamesbyrd468UH our local hospital system, primary does not have hospital rights…
I don't know where Dr. Dhand practices, but here in Binghamton, NY, the hospitals no longer allow a person's PCP to visit them or treat them in the hospital. Instead, the hospital uses personnel that they call, "hospitalists". I was under the care of two of these hospitalists when I had an episode of AFIB a few years ago. BOTH of these people were totally incompetent, trying to get me to take medications that my PCP later told me would have been harmful. I don't know where the hospitals got the idea to switch to this means of treatment, but I have talked to other people who have had similar experiences.
@@jamesbyrd468 Where are you located?
I had a bad car wreck near the beginning of the covid stuff. Lost my spleen while in emergency surgery. The people at the hospital started insisting I get out of bed. I refused. Why? I didn't have my glasses. I'm pretty much blind without them. I asked if they wanted to be responsible when I walk into a wall or trip over something. I need my glasses! The hospital administration wouldn't even let my wife bring them to the parking lot.
Thankfully the doctor in charge said that was BS. I got my glasses and promptly got up and started walking.
Hospital care and medical care has got worse, not better.
That started after the US gov takedown of the twin towers. Right after that I started noticing changes in workplaces around the western countries. Changes for the worse.
obamacare turned American healthcare into a 3rd-world nightmare.
Never leave a loved one unattended in a hospital.
Someone must be with them for as long as possible. Don't risk them being 'let go'. Staff are only human and some of them are at breaking point. Many hospitals are full of infections and have terrible ventilation systems.
I have heard many times in hospital, “She was sleeping so soundly. We didn’t want to wake her . . .” 😢 Thank you, Dr. Dhand. Wish all docs were like you.
A warning, Ontario Canada hospitals might preform all sorts unnecessary tests, blood work and even operations. So they can bill the provincial.
Killing people is acceptable but talking to healthcare professionals in an aggressive manner isn't? That's why society is where it is. And that's why we have so many people dying in hospitals...
How are people supposed to react? Congratulate, when the patient is dead due to negligence?
Yep. Totally true. My husband was such a victim. And the result was premature death.
One of my coworkers told me about a time when his mom was in seriously bad health and she wasn’t expected to make it. They ignored her completely, except for the times to check her vitals and drop by food/medicine. She wasn’t able to physically bring the food to her mouth, and they wouldn’t help her. They just left her to die. My coworker stayed with her for as long as he could, he’d talk with her and feed her. His brother wouldn’t even help out. It was all up to him. He feels he gave her a reason to live and she recovered to as good health as she could. He talked about how people need companionship and compassion to pull through those moments. His experiences and message about how the road to recovery is spiritual just as much as it is physical always stuck with me.

My uncle died in the hospital. To be fair it was an abdominal aneurysm. Not sure if that could have been avoided, but his last words were "get me the hell out of this place."
People die. Mortality in abdominal aneurysm is high
@@keepingitreal618 Thanks for your help
Sorry for your loss. 😔
Dr. Dhand, my Dad 86 was taken to a hospital in England for a plumanory embolism and had to wait 9 hours to be seen. I did get a little aggressive I admit. My taxes pay for the wages and the Doctors were eating cake on NYE 2021. I've lost all faith in the NHS.
Thanks David for your comment and sorry you went through this. I hope your dad was okay
I lost loved one due to misdiagnosis. Third leading cause of death I found out after. What’s this country coming to?
@@dannymeyer3256.. yes, medical errors (misdiagnosis, wrong medications) is the third leading cause of death in US.
@@drsuneeldhand Thank you Dr. Dhand. He's great, he ditched the blood thinners, never took the Covid jabs and is tablet free.
Drs should never be allowed breaks never mind cake!
I am an RN, and agree with everything Dr. Dhand said. When I train new nurses or have taught nursing students in the past, I always tell them turning a bedbound patient to prevent pressure injuries is so so important. Pressure injuries can lead to infection which can lead to sepsis and death. That’s all on nursing.
My loved one died due to a bed sore in the ICU. Absolutely no one told me he could develop sepsis from this. I've taken care of bed bound loved ones and never had issues with them getting bed sores....so it was unfathomable that this would be a concern under the care of formally trained medical staff....oh how deeply wrong I was. I am so ashamed I trusted "the professionals" and didn't press to stay 24/7. Even worse, these monsters refuse holistic protocols for sepsis recommended by independent, integrative physicians. I'm so ashamed....these monsters actually believe that bedsores just happen too!!! Shocking that staying at home would've been safer.
The last 3 times my elderly mum has been admitted because I sit with her all day every day noticed her afternoon meds weren’t coming. 3 times I’ve chased the doctor. 3 times although I gave them a list of her meds they’ve got it wrong as missed them out. These are important meds. I’ve had to show them her meds on the GP repeat prescriptions. They still couldn’t read the prescriptions correctly and still not give her enough of her important meds. Always the same ones…to clear her lungs and water tablets which are vital at this time as had lowered oxygen levels or chest infections. I even caught the head nurse giving her half of these meds which I pointed out and yes she got it wrong as didn’t read the box, then she rectified it.
When I’m there I wash her, shower her, do her hair, place her on the commode myself to toilet her etc or she’s not washed or waiting forever for a commode. I caught them one time using a standing hoist which she doesn’t need as can weight bare. I reminded them she has to use her legs and is more than able to do this else she’d lose use of them. Another time they catheterised her for days for their convenience for days for no reason but for their convenience in the night which makes her prone to UTIs. I had to constantly chase them asking for this to be removed.
I move her from bed to chair when she’s in the ward otherwise nothing is done. I care for her full time back home so am lucky enough to be in the position to sit with her all day as she gets anxious also. I want to know everything they’re doing to her and giving her. God help people who have their loved ones and trust the health system to take care of them!
What a wonderful, loving, caring Daughter you are. Maria in SC
@@mariaw593 thanks, I do my best. Even when she’s admitted it involves a 3 to 5 hour round trip a day by bus also depending on which hospital she’s in. It’s exhausting but she’s my mum! ❤️
The hospitals killed my husband, after a 3M in bills. Neglecting, over drugging, drug mistakes, no physiotherapy, etc, are a common place in medical facilities.
Such doctors ,like Doctor Suneel, should be entered in the red book. I say this with full responsibility, because I was in terrible situations in hospitals. Thank You, Doctor .🙏🏻🕊
This NHS is largely responsible for the situation they’re in
It’s been nearly impossible to see a GP Save the NHS, I thought the NHS was supposed to save us?
hosptials in the USA all have "Patient relation" staff to be the mediator between the patient and doctors to make sure the patients get proper care and attention. Many doctors are arrogant and this is why there are Patients relation staff. You have a right to ask for a patient relation staff member to help you will any issue any hospital staff is causing you. remember this. Most likely this is also world wide.
Graffiti was discovered in Pompeii, sh1t well and avoid doctors
The same is true today
Sick in bed syndrome? Going through this right now with my 89 year-old mother recovering from a fractured pelvis and recently diagnosed with AFib. Obviously she needs assistance with transferring from bed to chair to toilet. Nursing staff says they can't move her without authority from physical therapy. She was completely independent before the fall. Already completed two weeks of Inpatient Rehabilitation at a different facility. Now back at the hospital for Afib and hasn't been out of bed in 5 days. And yes her physical condition is declining rapidly undoing all the good the previous two weeks did. She's told to just go to the bathroom in her diaper! Inhumane!
I was sitting with sister in law when she said she needed to pee. Nurse told her to go in her pad and didn't change her after. Wave at you from New Zealand ❤
They did similar to my Mom. It’s was told nurse can’t do it, then rehab had to be order, eventually ordered, then the rehab lady came in and tried to tells me it increases her heart rate and can’t be done, I was like, well yeah it does everyone. I told her the nurse won’t get her up and now you aren’t either, who will be helping her 🤷♀️. Sadly she ended up with blood clots in her legs. They also hadn’t started her regular blood thinner back up, I had been asking. She ended up with a femoral stent and was in ICU. Then they tried to get me to let them cut her leg off below the knee. I said he’ll no. It was awful. She did finally get better. Thank the Lord all the clots cleared on the super strong blood thinner.
@@MsKris2626 OMG! That's horrible. Your mother is lucky to have you there for her. Imagine all the folks in hospital that don't have an advocate to speak for them. Lord knows what they would end up doing to those patients!
@@sheryld1038 - yep. I have to tell the nursing staff to change her. My mom usually gets confused and extremely fatigued at different points during the day and forgets to tell the staff. And of course she has no energy to argue with them. So she just lays there until I come in and tell the staff to change her.
Unfortunately, I used to believe that doctors were always right, until I lived a different reality, amd learned painfully how much many doctors just don't care😢 I stay away from hospitals and as many doctors as I possibly can.🇨🇦
The battle with our local hospital and the medical staff during the covid lockdowns with our dad who was dying in hospital was terrible.
I still cant believe the poor service and neglect of our dad.
I used to have such a high opinion of our hospital and services but what we all went through was totally traumatizing.
I saw my dad and many others being institutionalized and ignored of their basic needs.
After weeks of fighting for it i finally got him out of hospital and took him home to care for him in his final days.😢
Bless your good heart. 🌺

Very true indeed. My last hospital stay was the stay from hell. They have me as allergic to Albuterol and I'm a severe asthmatic. Nooo!!! I'm allergic to the ipatropium in Duoneb, so don't give me Duoneb. I have told them a hundred times, no Duoneb!!! When I got to my room, there it was on the board, "allergic to Albuterol". I had such a hard time getting my breathing treatment. Thank goodness I held on to my Ventolin pump. I refused to give up my emergency medication. We have to advocate for ourselves. Hospitals are getting brutal.
How very sad that standards of patient care have sunk so low, that hospitals cannot be trusted.
I am not sure if you will read all of your comments but I am so grateful that there are Doctors like you who care enough to make the world a better place for all people. Thank you Dr. Dhand. I have a story for you about how the hospital killed my brother, but not today. It is all too fresh and hurtful.
My mother had dementia . She was 91. She looked like she was having TIAS. We called the ambulance and she walked into the ambulance. Well they did.not get her up because she refused. They have people wearing diapers and unbelievably they make diper rounds. I stopped two med med mistakes. I and my brother went in almost every day taking turns. One day there I go and see meds at her bedside. I went to the charge nurse who was on his cell phone. He acted like it was nothing. He was supposed to fill an incidence report. Elderly people need someone there constantly. In Canada they are pushing the MAID program where people the list is getting longer of people able to take this procedure. Patints can choose or sometimes OFFERED THIS PRCEDURE. It is murder masqurding as medically assisted suicide. It is a slippery slope we are on. As a retired nurse all the nonsense that people government did for covid MADE NO SENSE.
In Poland, the use of gas chambers started in the Hospitals well before the concentration camps.
Luckily my hospital stays have been few - 3 for giving birth - put apart from just 1, they have all been ghastly. In one I was actually sexually interfered with by a male nurse. The other nurses covered for him but I eventually threatened to get police involved which got them to suspend him. IMO no male nurse should be in sole charge of a female patient. This ‘woke’ nonsense has gone mad. If at all possible, avoid hospitals but always have a friend or family member by your side as much as possible. You need a witness!
Well since my dad, who walked in the hospital on his own accord, during the “Covid” scare, who’s blood oxygen was still ok, who also went to the clinic 1 week before his hospital stay for the typical “Covid/Flu” symptoms, who was then told they couldn’t do anything for him until he got sicker, at which time if he didn’t improve, to go to the hospital, who broke his fever, and was feeling much better but coughed up a light “tinge” of blood (could probably be from his coughing when he was sick for a little over a week), we told him, to be on the safe side to go get a chest X-ray to see if anything was wrong with his lungs. Well wouldn’t you know, they snagged him and said he had “Covid pneumonia” even though he was feeling much better. I talked to him on day 2 of him in the hospital and he said he was fine and could breathe fine. My dad tanked on day 3 after being put on the “Remdesivir/death protocol”. He was vented for 11 days before they said he was not going to make it and my mom didn’t want him to suffer anymore and agreed to the hospital to take him off the ventilator. My dad, my beautiful, energetic, healthy (no underlying health issues) dad had to die ALONE in a hospital because they wouldn’t let anyone be with him. My dad was 82 years young. I hate those Doctors and Nurses who went along with that BS hospital protocol! I will never trust them again. 😞 And to top it off, my healthy, very active, “triple Covid Vaccinated” (because she was scared cuz what dad went through, and against me and my sisters wishes), mom just “died suddenly” on April 30 2023. Ambulance was called because she couldn’t catch her breath, and died on the way to the hospital. Blood clot in the lungs or heart they said. I say, died from the 💉 She was so active, that she was vacuuming out her car the morning she died. God will have the last word, and I hope all these people that caused the “Covid” BS, pay with a very hot eternity!
So sorry.
I was verbally aggressive at the VA clinic during the pandemic. I can’t wear masks but they had their mask mandate. I was reported to the Va. and I received a letter about my behavior.
That should have never happened and I'm sorry it happened to you
My mates mum got covid and after recovering her existing respiratory issues took a turn for the worse.
She had low blood oxygen levels and had to go back to hospital.
A while later she had to go back in again because the hospital refused to provide her with oxygen at home.
The respiratory ward had ZERO covid policy in place, despite being the landing pad for covid patients.
Needless to say, after a few days there was a huge covid outbreak on the ward, and within 72 hours she was dead.
I have never personally been aware of someone expiring from covid within 72 hours so I was highly suspicious.
Turns out that as soon as she exhibited covid symptoms and went into respiratory distress, they stopped all of her treatments and fast tracked her onto end of life care. They literally pulled the plug on all treatments, stuffed her full of opiates, and called the family in to be with her when she died.
Now she might have had issues with her lungs because of illness in her youth, but other than that the old girl was insanely healthy.
They put her down like a dog, and she was triaged for death.
If they had given her the oxygen bottle for use at home she would not have even been there, she was put on a ward with other elderly and covid patients, and the very SECOND she caught covid they transitioned to end of life care.
There is no nice way to dress this up .... they clearly decided she was a drain on resources and were keen to have her shuffle her mortal coil. This was evident by the way that on one occasion they waited for her visitors to leave and then tried to pressure her into signing a do not resuscitate form.
UK hospitals are turning into sanitoriums, and the nurses are blaming the patients for the woes inflicted on them by government underfunding.
You could probably multiply that experience by the thousands during Covid. And all with ZERO empathy or compassion as they let them die/killed them.
That is shocking.
My aunt who was 87 and living alone at the time, had a massive stroke. It took several days to even figure out who her primary care was and then to figure out what she was taking when it happened. We should have had a plan in place.
My husband was paralyzed & died bc of a medical " mistake", it killed him 9 years after a lot of suffering. I would have been dead long ago if I hadnt been ready to disagree with drs & hospitals, my husband hadn't protected me, or a rare good dr. bravely stepped in. They're disappearing fast!
I've seen so much greed, pride, incompetence, cruelty & pure corruption in medicine I've never trusted them. Way before covid.
I hate the sight of them all.

When my mother was in the hospital, her feeding tube was removed, either by her or the nurses "caring" for her. When I asked that they replace the tube, they were self righteous about waiting to do it because they "had emergencies to deal with" (this, apparently, was not an emergency). She was getting Midodrine through the tube, and they did not replace it for 24 hours, by which time she needed pressors to support her blood pressure. Her kidneys were severely damaged, and they refused to dialyse her until it was too late. She died from their "care".
My mother's type 2 diabetes was utterly mishandled by the NHS. She had a form of Reynauds which was diagnosed and which caused reactions to blood pressure meds. She was prescribed a blood pressure drug that made her legs swollen and painful and kept on it despite her legs becoming infected. Antibiotics were months late in being prescribed and the blood pressure meds being withdrawn. Once emergency hospital visits started to occur - 4 in all, she spent half of the last three months of her life in hospital, her underlying unusual form of Reynauds Syndrome was once again ignored, though I kept telling them about it. This meant the treatments she was receiving were ineffective in controlling her blood pressure etc and she kept slipping into coma. I found her in her chair passed out one time when I went to visit and it took them an hour to bring her round. A week after this the Doctor in charge finally realised about the Reynauds and told me he would try a different approach as it was affecting the treatments they'd been trying. Her blood- poisoning was, by this time, advanced sepsis. A week after that he told me there was no hope and she died a week after that. I'm crying now, five years on, typing this. I will never forgive the NHS system for letting her down so badly and ignoring her discomfort and our doubts about the efficacy of her treatment.
In 1951 my grandfather was admitted to a military hospital in Ohio in order to have a tumor removed from his abdomen. Being an otherwise healthy 37 year old, he made it through the operation perfectly. Unfortunately, someone along the way gave him the incorrect blood type and it killed him. My grandma became a widow. My dad was 6 years old.
During my first pregnancy, I began having horrible headaches and my BP went up to 150/90. I went to my doctor and told him I thought I had preeclampsia. He had me take a urine sample. When I placed the sample in the little cupboard, I could see another sample in there but thought nothing of it. My doctor said I didn’t have preeclampsia, only migraines and sent me home with pain meds. Two days later I was being rushed by ambulance to the hospital in the city where I would undergo an emergency C-section. I was diagnosed with HELLP Syndrome. My baby spent a month in the NICU and I almost died.
My distrust of the medical industrial complex started way before Covid. The Covid years just reinforced my feelings.
this is a timely subject subject for me. My husband was in hospital due to getting Covid even though he had all the vaccinations. He spent a week in bed they didn't even try to get him out of bed. He was then moved to a four bed room. After two days another patient came down with Covid so they pulled down the blinds, pulled the curtains around each bed and turned off the light and closed the door. I was furious when I went up there, I didn't scream or yell not my style but when I asked about getting him outside (with masks) on I was refused. All four of the patients in the room were elderly, and like my husband had dementia. I insisted that I push him out side but of course I couldn't get him out of the chair. After going into a coma he died in his third week in the hospital. I know he was 89 years old but he didn't deserve to spend the last three weeks of his life laying in bed!!!!!!! Each bed screamed out "Get back in bed immediately" every time a patient did try to get out of bed. I am heart broken at the treatment these people received. If I could go back I would NEVER have taken my husband to the hospital.
My doctor stood in front of me with his arms folded when I was trying to describe symptoms I was having. It was absolutely humiliating. When I said that my daughter would not be getting the Covid vaccine, he questioned my ability to make the decision in front of her, and basically explained that I was taking a huge risk. I know that not to be true, because I took it. I have an auto immune disease and some kind of factor for lymphoma. I don’t know what that means, but the weird thing is I had a real doctor rheumatologist but I pretty sure I know why she left. She was shocked when she heard I took it because I just found her after I was diagnosed. How do you find a decent doctor now the one I have never does bloodwork. I have no faith in the system but I’m so glad I didn’t give that to my daughter.
Thanks for this.
Not too old yet, but I certainly do not intend to die slowly in a hospital, when that time comes. I have an extreme dislike for hospitals.
The Lord willing, I hope to have my cognitive abilities intact before/when death knocks on the door.
In the US, make sure you have a POA ready, or the hospital/facility takes it, and your choice of care, your forced meds, and your house, and your family has to lawyer up to get it back!!
@@fkitty444 not in the US, where medical help will financially kill you without insurance. Oh ya, medical insurance may financially kill you, also. So there's that.
@@cptrikester2671 Agreed! They drop you at the local shelter if they can't milk you. However, as I watched with my grandmother with a VA pension, Full medical, and the state of MO has some programs that also pay for vets, they tried to keep her and her resources, immediately ativan'd her, put her in a nursing home, and made us fight in court for 6x months to get her back. And then the nursing home would not release her until we paid THEIR bill. Then they tried double billing us after. We got a good look at the milking plan, we weren't the only ones that were in that fight, only the ones with enough resources and time to win through (luck had it mom was retired, grandpa had planned for grandma after his passing, and I was between jobs, but had some savings and a background in corporate crazy-tape) Good luck, most of the rest of us won't have those resources, but a POA gives your family, and possibly you, a chance to control your care, and maybe your assets if you find yourself on the Medical darkside.
I think they wantvthe beds in hospitals, sonot much chanceof “dying slowly” there these days!
I have been in the medical arena my entire life and up until last 5 years.. 30+ years as a medical social worker, dementia professional, special needs advocate (MR/DD). I've been known to stop conversations between MDs on the ICU units by my mere presence. Well done Dr Dhand.. it takes a village to raise a child...or an aged one especially in the medical arena, if the doctors etc are talking within earshot of the patient in the hall and the patient looks at you as you are visiting them and asks 'should I call them in you know they are talking about me' thats my cue to invite the healthcare team in for further conversation. Do No Harm.
We always have a family member on duty when one of ours is hospitalized, 24 hours.
Sadly, my in-laws are all-in on "health care". They are from an era when care was the fore. They have become more aware of what it has become more about these last 4 decades, but it may be too late already. Every time they have sought "care", I have witnessed their overall condition decline in downward plateau fashion, only a thin wedge of which attributes to aging. The toxins of Pharxmacology have been largely to blame.
If you have never had to go to hospital and you suddently need to use the NHS, then you think the service you''re going to be getting will be amazing, or at the very least acceptable, sadly it''s not. It's a real eye-opener. My dad constantly asked for a bed pan. He waited and waited.. (And why was I not allowed to help??!) The HCA said he'd "be there in a minute". He was at a desk, doing some paperwork? Too late, dad couldn't wait. He felt totally degraded. And then to top it off, the HCA was cross with dad for having an accident. That's just one tale, there are many more. Totally agree with everything you've said Dr. It happens!
Dropping the ball should be rare by hospitals but unfortunately it’s a common occurrence.
Biggest cause of death in western world is hospital and doctor mistakes. But you do not see that in any stats.
Doctor's hate when you do your homework! I had one stomp his foot and walk out of the room like a 3 yr old because I had questions about a certain medication he planned on putting my mother on.
A good doctor just like a good lawyer is worth there weight in gold.
As a hospital doctor
1) bring an up to date medication list. Name, dose, how many times a day, if taken regularly or if only as needed. Even over the counter medications.
2) please be aware that the “plan” may be fluid, depending on how complex the person’s medical problems are, how many specialists are involved, how many tests or procedures are needed. Often time, rightly or wrongly, a test or surgery can be delayed due to logistics ( the xray department is busy, operating room time isn’t available etc )
3) The healthcare government corporation complex, is only concerned about $ and certain numbers, metrics. They will have a ton of non clinical administrators and managers etc to deal with “affordable healthcare act” regulations, and cut costs by overworking the actual staff taking care of you ( nurses, techs, therapists, technicians, phlebotomists etc ).
Have a loved one or friend present at all times a) to help get out of bed and move around b ) get the staff if a need is urgent ( like a bedpan ) c) to help take notes or be aware of the care plan and most importantly d) for support and encouragement. Being alone and sick / pain sucks.
Lastly, Dr D - thanks for all the content
Well said Sir. And thanks for watching! Best, Suneel
I have just sent off a letter to PALS at my local hospital. My Father died over the May Bank Holiday and my Mother died at the same hospital 14 years ago on the same May Bank Holiday. Dad was 91 but was doing well then suddenly went down hill after a fall, ending up in bed and catheterised. He was given many drugs including insulin. He had a bruised and battered stomach from injections. His last days were hell, in and out of delirium and hysteria and begging to go to the toilet normally. A nurse thought this was normal as he didn’t know him and Dad had Dementia. We were told his lung infection had turned to hospital acquired pneumonia, his COPD was exacerbated and old age killed him. The Death certificate left out the hospital acquired bit. There were so many changes in staff. Another patient fell while I was there. Patients, especially the elderly need support and representation. I dread going in to one of those wards for the elderly.
So sorry...for your Dad and for you...sending you a hug...Maria in SC
If all doctors were like you Dr. Dhand, there wouldn't be a problem but I sure don't trust the nhs anymore
#3 Happened to my mom. She was in the hospital for 2 weeks and they never let her get out of bed. She had a Pure Wick. She begged them to let her just get up to the bedside commode. I spoke to the unit manager and her social worker to no avail. She went from there to rehab and she got up the the bathroom her first evening there. Even though her PCP was affiliated with that hospital, I never had her go back there. It seemed to me that it was all about staff convenience.😢
Third leading cause of death are doctor and hospital errors. I think long and hard before going to them.
I am in the UK. An elderly friend is in hospital after a fall at home. Amazingly no broken bones, just cuts and bruises which have healed.
She has hardly been out of bed in 3 weeks. A lack of physio therapy and no place at rehab is keeping her in a much needed bed. She is nearly 87 I fear that she will never get back on her feet.
We need to start a new system of naturopathic hospitals/health “clubs”. The current model is so broken, corrupt and dysfunctional that it couldn’t possibly be salvaged.
Truth from England, UK. My Mum could sit in a chair, eat and drink well, she could still speak and read words on the TV. One failure after another meant she was kept awake for about 30 hours for the sake of taking her blood for a d dimer test in the hospital. When I got her home I had to shower her as she had poo herself for the first time. When I touched her she was constantly jumping. We had to go back the next day "be ready for 7am for a 9am appointment". I told them this would devastate my Mum and she'd need weeks to recover. "Err something wrong if that's the case!" She has Alzheimer's , she sleeps for 18hrs a day, and I'd been shielding with her for one year, and she was in her 80's. I think when she knew she was going back to hospital she just went ill and looked awful. They FORCIBLY took her off me and told me to leave or "we will make you" leave. They could have looked at their records and see themselves how long she was in hospital waiting for someone to TAKE A FKING BLOOD SAMPLE!!!! Two weeks later they brought her home...to die.
I am so sorry ♥️
What a sad situation for you to have had to go through
@@elaine3963 Thank you. The more detail I go into it the worse it gets. Like the next day I phoned to ask how she was and was told "She is fighting against us!". Mum knew only me for one full year and the worse thing to happen to her was when I joked about how I keep her warm and the rest of the house if freezing and I'd put my cold had on her and she'd go "babababa" and I'd laugh. Now she is fighting a complete world of strangers! The call continued "we can't get her to sit on the end of the bed, nevermind in a position to stand up!". My Mum was fking wheelchair bound! Even bringing her home, fast tracked too, they took her back because I had a stairlift on the stairs! And that was March 2021. My Mum died this year. When she came home her mouth was stuck open and I couldn't feed her but slowly slowly I gave her a little tea (drink) bit by bit. I never gave up on her and back in my care she slowly got better to about 80% of what she was like the morning of the 'blood test'. But now the 'care professionals' are involved and believe me it was a world of hurt (literally for my Mum the things they did and tried to do - like take her away because I refused to leave the room while they gave her 'care'. Yes they tried. They even managed to get CID. Luckily I took lots of videos and photos of my Mum and me and I had evidence - video and photo - of her before they brought her home with masses of bruises on her arms c/o cocking every single attempt to extract a blood sample. But yes that carer had seem Mum before, had seen the bruises before but tried to - again on video she actually says "leave the room of I'll get someone to come and take her away". And knowing what my Mum was like before and after the NHS had got their claws into her - that would have been a death sentence - but they tried for the sake of me wanting to be with my Mum. And it continued like that really till her death with the District Nurses and Social Services, Speech and Language, Advocates, all of then utter pieces of sh1t. I know it sounds harsh but they let a skin condition go so bad it was classed eventually as a wound. Imagine having your bottom and the bottom of your back seared red raw with a red hot frying pan. That's what my Mum ended up like. And then they blamed it on me! All the time the Nurses visiting are saying it looks like an allergic reaction to her pads while the bosses tell me to put a barrier cream on it, and my GP (Doctor) tells me to not do that but to try this cream, this lotion, this antibiotic - she has so many things going on as the GP didn't know what it was. It was a never ending fight with me and them. I literally could write a book. But that would mean looking at some of the many many videos, photos, recordings I took of my Mum and right now and since her death I simply cannot look at anything with my Mum on. All I see is pain and suffering.

😭 that’s just awful
I recently went to the ER at the VA because I was having gut issues (including diarrhea) for 4-5 days. What did they do? Prescribe me a laxative 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. I was asked a few days later if the meds helped. I said I didn’t take them, why would I? It’s like being prescribed a hammer to hit yourself in the head with when you complain of continuous migraines. I love how they act like you’re crazy or noncompliant for not taking something that will MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE. Seriously, how does this even happen? Makes no sense. My main problem is a seizure disorder. I tried 13 different seizure medications. None worked and only made me feel even worse all day/every day with the side effects. Again, they act like I’m crazy for refusing to take them. However, I have always had a warning prior to a seizure and there’s a medication that works when I take it when I have this warning; it keeps the actual grand mal seizure at bay. But do they prescribe this? Nope! They refuse. Also, my seizures are hormonal but they refuse to run a hormone panel or address my seizures with hormones. I really don’t understand our medical system. Wait, yes I do: it’s for profit, to make us feel like crap and to keep us on meds and increase the meds we are on, if possible.
How about don't let a Vet kill your pet - they are just as bad as the Dr's
Yep, they are no different. Research for yourself any care they want to administer. I don’t let my vet give all the ridiculous vaccines and such
I was once admitted into the hospital after a car accident. I wanted the pain med IV taken out of my arm immediately. I didn't ask for permission. I got out of bed, showered, and started walking laps about the wing. The nurses were looking at me oddly, and I simply said, "I can't stay in bed. I get too stiff."
I am personally torn between gratitude for still being here after severe covid and being hospitalised whilst being aware of some major issues I coped with during that time. On one occasion a nurse detatched me from oxygen by running over the oxygen tube with the observation cart. She didnt notice and i was lucky i was awake and knew that i was struggling to breathe minutes after she left. My husband's care in ITC St Thomas's London, was poor, he died, but i witnessed major errors whilstvyhere and this was over a decade ago in a supposedly flag ship training hospital. My father was 79 when he died at home on what is called palliative care which seemed to be just the withdrawal of food. He had been in and out of hospital and both my mother and i felt they felt he'd " had a good innings", hydrate him, send him home and lets do no more. My family is frightened of hospital now and are very aware you need family to check on you every day to ensure you have water, a pot to piss in and are not in pain. Some nurses and Docs are wonderful. Some really shouldn't be nurses at all. 😢
I have to agree with your assessment; some are wonderful and others could not care less; luck of the draw and the odds for patients are getting worse. Bottom line don’t leave your loved ones alone too long in the hospital
@@winterlane2247 It's also the night nurses that are usually the worst. Occasional good ones but I think the new people get the bad shift. That's why someone always sleeps in the uncomfortable couch next to the sick person. It's also why we didn't go anywhere for a long time during covid. I was afraid they would take my elderly mother away and not allow me to stay in there with her.
My young son was in liver failure and I came in the room just as the Doctor was about to administer to him paracetemol for a fever. Yes, I "vented".
Its called "Righteous Indignation."
Similar to Righteous Brothers.”Unchained Melody “. “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling “. Etc
After my doctor of over 23 years attempted to murder me prescribing me and urging me to take meds/procedures i didn’t need, i had to find a new doctor with common sense.

One of my pet peeves as an elderly person is the lack of insisting all old people in hospital get out of bed + ambulate if possible. It was heartening to hear you mention this!
Nearly everyone dies in a hospital, and there's a reason why ...
The medical establishment needs to be distrusted like the govt and legal profession. It's much, much worse than most people think.
Yes, "Too many cooks in healthcare kitchen". Except the cooks I have been seeing for the last 10 months don't talk to each other. Each thinks he's right and all others wrong. Meantime, I am at square 1. Undiagnosed...unable to walk...seen by army of "doctors" and "specialists", 123 different blood tests, many X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, EKGs, spinal taps, nerve conductivity studies...and nothing.
Now they want to repeat all of it. Well, I'm not having it. I'll go to some other country where they actually have doctors with skills and experience.
contrast dye is toxic..heavy metals.. especially MRI dye gadolinium. Do not take. Causes serious health problems.
Florida hospitals killed my grandmother (1994) and my mother (2018). In both cases, attorneys agreed that the hospital caused their deaths, but in each situation they would not take the on case.
In my grandmother’s situation, she was 84 without a spouse, so no one cared. Period.
My mother was 72 and she did have a spouse, however the hospital had a lawsuit cap of $250,000.00, so 3 separate attorneys said that amount would barely cover the costs of a lawsuit so declined the case. My mother contracted an e-coli infection at the hospital due to an incompetent nurse who screwed up a simple procedure. She developed sepsis and died. The hospital doctor lied on her death certificate and stated that cancer was the cause of death - completely ignoring the nosocomial infection. She did have cancer, but that is not what killed her, and the autopsy also listed the e-coli infection as her cause of death. No one would return my calls to correct the death certificate. I contacted the state agency that monitors hospital infections to alert them of the issue and I was actually told to seek a therapist’s help because I was apparently struggling with my mother’s death.
My worst fear is that a loved one or myself end up in the hospital. Things have only gotten worse after the covid games I believe.
Hospital is a good place to get sick - and that can be taken a couple of ways!
Even more tragic is when both you and your loved one is very sick, my husband died in hospital from untreated sepsis, I was unable to stay in hospital with him after I collapsed at home with pneumonia, family miles away thinking hospital would take care of him.
According to one of the most amazing medical journals, called John Hopkins university,
“the third leading cause of death in America is medical error”
"Hospitalists" replacing primary doctors doing rounds I think has caused a huge gap in care and loss of information. Thank you Dr. Dhand xo
You nailed this doc! Too many docs on a case and not one of them communicating with the others as to a plan. I’ve lost all confidence in the medical realm.
It’s so sad Susan that this happens every day. Appreciate you watching!
Wow Dr. Dahnd synchronicity . Just two weeks ago I went in for an inguinal hernia repair. the surgeon "nicked" my abdominal artery and thought that he repaired it. afterward my abdomen swelled in an alarming way, even displacing my right kidney. My BP dropped to 70/40 and HR up to 165. It took the original surgeon hours to actually admit what he did and then they rushed me to do an emergency patch on said artery close to 20 hours after the event. this old man almost bit the dust. Lastly during this time we have visits from three cardiologists that wanted to give me blood thinners because of the tachycardia I experienced during my bleed out. Both my wife and I strongly refused this approach . We told them several times that my BP and Pulse have been perfect for years, and I have had two EKG over the last few years which which were perfect. I work out 6 days a week and eat a natural balanced diet. The tachycardia was a result of me losing close to 40 percent of my blood volume. The surgeon who made the mistake actually apologized to my wife and I, but a little too late. It was crazy, and we no longer trust western for profit corporate health systems.
Me and my husband are now seeing a holistic doctor and getting healthy with diet and LDI / LDA and supplements. We plan to stay away from mainstream healthcare system it at all possible ! Thank you for all of your expert advice Dr Dhand ! You are a blessing .❤
Best choice you could make, best wishes! Diet and lifestyle changes can cure or ease a large amount of illnesses!
When my sister tried to go in the room to be with my 94 year old Mother after the ambulance had brought her in after a fall, the staff refused to let my sister in, and even called security to take her out bc she was causing such a scene. And they were treating my Mother horribly, too. 94 years old!!! UNBELIEVABLE….. 😓💔
I think they probably treat frail, elderly women the worst. It's disgusting
Dr Hand you are a pearl among the medical profession , a TRUE people's doctor , not the employee of the big Pharma octopus. Thank you
Dr Suneel , TH-cam keeps changing your name to Hand ! Apologies for that, I couldn't stop it .
Thank you so much, Dr Dhand❤❤ One of my loved ones was just released from being hit by a car while cycling. Thankfully, he always pushes himself and while he was in the hospital was no exception. He surprised the hospital staff & was able to leave for home days earlier than expected. You are worth your weight in gold, and then some. Thank you, @DrSuneelDhand
I’m glad to hear he did okay and was very motivated. Appreciate your kind words
@@drsuneeldhand Thank you so much, Dr Dhand! Your posts mean everything to us, and we thank you so much ❤️ ❤️
If a hospital patient with a complex condition does not have a highly aware and assertive advocate that patient has a big problem. I cared for a s seriously ill family member for more than a decade who had quite a number of hospital stays. The incompetence of communications, the lack of attention to detail, the unwise, inappropriate decisions ...shocking.
I'll probably die of something correctable bc there is no way in hell I'm putting myself in their control.
Same
The last one happened to my grandma. During covid they did not do physical therapy and she lost most of her muscle in hospital. Following vegan diet made everything worse because she hardly had any muscle to begin with... Now she is unable to make progress to start walking again... It's one of the worst things that can happen to you especially if your mind is still sharp...
My mom was left to lie in bed at the hospital without moving long enough to develop an 8” long ulcer(?) along her spine. It required skin grafting which failed and medical attention for years. She never did fully heal before she died.
What a horrific way to spend the last years of her life.
Dad should have sued the f*ck out of that hospital.
We cannot ever allow hospitals to take away a patient’s right to having an advocate with them. Some hospitals in Illinois have just stopped the no visitor policy and there is talk of all the restrictions returning. A patient must have someone watching what is happening and to be a voice for them. If no one is there, we have no idea what is or is not being done. So many of us lost loved ones over the last three years because they had no advocate to watch and to be their voice.
Medical practioners would avoid getting called out and/or yelled at if they would only listen instead of relying on a one-size fits all computer generated protocol.
This thread is disturbing and troubles my heart...so many loved ones lost due to neglect, inadequacies, malpractice and more including my beloved Mom....😢.
Well, a tough lesson learned. We have become very proactive with our wellness and we are onguard.
Peace to all.
It's only going to get worse with AI etc.
