Cindy, You need to get a work up on your heart . I’m 68 years and I thought I was having problems with my heart….. my life partner had open heart surgery without having a heart attach and I had been so stressed along with me being his care taker .. I finally got my up stress test , nuclear etc . This will make you feel better and you’ll know how your heart is doing ….everything came out fine for me thank god . I wish you would do the same . I’m glad you ok ❤
As a nurse for over 35 years, this makes me so sad. Nurses are never too busy to look a patient in the eye and communicate. I’m embarrassed to hear this type of unprofessionalism goes on. Sounds like there is poor leadership as well…I am happy to know you’re ok ❤️
I was a nurse for many years and it sure isn't like it was 25 years ago. I know there is a shortage of nurses and they are worked beyond sometimes what one human can do in a shift. Happy you are ok Cindy.
As a retired RN, I’m so sorry you had this experience and I do agree that health care has changed so much over the years…it is frightening and so sad… so glad you are doing well.
So frustrating when you're being ignored and left not knowing what is going on in the middle of the hallway.. It never used to be that way. Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Glad you are okay now!
Hi Cindy. I am glad that you did not have a heart attack. You were smart in going to the hospital to check about it and making sure that the pain was indigestion. Take Care.
Oh Cindy, Sadly since Covid there seems to be NO compassion in the world for anything, we've become Numbers now instead of Humans. It's like that in CANADA as well. Glad you're Okay 🤗❤
Cindy, You have such a gift for communicating! Your experience and suggestions should be shared with hospitals and especially ERs all across the land! Thank you for being a voice for all of us! Glad you are okay!
I am so glad you are okay. ❤ To be in the medical field is a “calling”. It is not for everybody. I totally 💯 agree with you Cindy. We are people and we’re already scared about being in the ER. Where is the empathy? Where is the compassion? That’s why a lot of people I know do not like to go to the hospital.
I worked in medical field almost 29 years. I have never used their services until I retired. If I had treated patients they way I am treated I would have been fired! I try to respect the professionals in this field but they certainly were not trained properly or just do not care. My diagnosis is I am 71 and they say "what the heck" By the way if a patient enter our ER we had to have a 20 minute turn around in getting their blood to lab!
So glad you are doing well! My daughter has been s nurse for 15 years and just recently graduated as a nurse practitioner! She really has a heart for people! Unfortunately so many are so burned out they really don't even realize you are a person! I am sure we should be praying for them all as it is a lot to deal with daily!🙏😅
I agree under a, lot of pressure indeed a lot of nurses suffered in the UK during covid and a lot left the profession due to stress anxiety and the impact on their mental health note the story about the drunk, our healthcare professionals experience abuse more now than they ever did it was unheard of at one time, a friend of mine was a, paramedic no longer, she was kicked in the stomach in A&E by a drunk patient she had literally picked up from the road and brought into A&E, after the assault she collapsed with a perforated bowel she left the profession
Oh my sweet Cindy .I’m so very happy u r ok . U mentioned u said The Act of Contrition prayer….that brought me back ..”way back” to my childhood days 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Always, Angela
Cindy, so happy to hear you're ok! It's very scary having chest pain at anytime. You did the right thing going to the ER ! It's better to be safe than sorry! Got a little tickled with you in the hallway and checking out all the action going on lol...so it was a little scary not knowing about that man hollering ...but it made time a bit more interesting lol....I'm nosey like that!😂 Take care of yourself 😊
I absolutely love your cross in the corner. I couldn’t stop staring at it. I’m so glad you are ok. I was in the ER for 19 hours with a possible blood clot. My doctor sent me so I could get a quick check up. But even my doctor couldn’t get me in sooner. My ER isn’t the only one with problems. Something has to change.
One year my sister in law bought everyone in our family one of those crosses. They are beautiful! Don’t think this is crazy but when someone in out family dies, we all being our crosses to put on each table set up for the celebration after the service. So each table has a flower arrangement, a cross, and photos in frames. It really looks nice.
Thanks for sharing your 911 experience and glad you are okay. Loved, loved, loved the sequence that was speeded up on your hair styling techniques. Do more speedy ones, they are a joy and brought a smile to my face.
I was an ER nurse for years. You did exactly the right thing by calling 911. I hope I never handled myself as you described. There really is no excuse for not establishing a rapport with your patient. I recently took my 43 year old daughter to an ER with chest pain who has a history of a heart condition. I was so upset with her care. Even when I was busy and the ER was crazy, I was polite and introduced myself. Glad you are okay. That's what's most important.
Oh Cindy, that can be so scary. Using Doctor Google is usually not a good idea. I’m thankful for first responders always there to help. I agree with you 💯 The ERs in the USA need to be revamped. The staff seems to be in a huge fog since Covid ( it was an issue before C but has only gotten worse) It’s like the staff has forgotten they are working with HUMANS, snd they are actually working FOR US. It’s got to get better. The cost is out of control and the staff is rude. Thankful you’re ok. 💕
Hi,its the same here in the u.k.we are treated like kids,i to was left in the corridor in hospital they take all your vitals then leave you for hours although i did get asked if I wanted a hot drink,its the same at our doctors surgery they look at the computer screen whilst you are telling them whats wrong no eye to eye contact at all ,they have no time for us anymore the n.h.s here is rubbish, its because of all the immigrants the medical profession is on its last legs,better to go private but who can afford to do that with the cost of living being through the roof,unbelievable, Elaine u.k. x p.s. hope you're feeling better, take care x
Thank you so much for sharing with us! I know at our age it sometimes feels like we "disappear" in a situation. It is such a lonely place to be. So glad it wasn't your heart! I love decorating for each season...I change my front door wreaths and inside decor for every occasion. My Mom used to do that so I guess I got it from her. Poppy at the end sure was happy to see you!!
Glad you are ok Cindy but you need to be sure and address your concerns if the hospital sends you a survey on your experience. I totally agree with you.
Thanks for sharing. We recently purchased a home in Rancho Mirage to be closer to my parents in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, I have been to ER in Eisenhower and Desert Regional for my elderly Mother. The experience you shared has been the same for us. I know the medical field is draining but a little better communication while in ER is needed. I am grateful for those working in the hospital. I am happy you are feeling better and happy I found your channel. I am big on watching for beauty tips and home decor. Your hair came out fabulous. Since I am renovating the backyard , I will be keeping eye on your channel for ideas.
Sounds just like my last visit to ER w left shoulder pain. I do have a heart condition and have had one mild heart attack. It’s everywhere. I’ve had the rescue here several times and the EMT’s couldn’t be any better, so kind and professional
I’m glad you weren’t suffering from a heart attack Cindy. I have a similar story, but unfortunately it was a heart attack. It was on a Saturday evening and I had made myself a lovely dinner of crab legs, Caesar salad, garlic bread with cheese and a nice bottle of white wine. I started to eat, but like you I had these chest pains. I tried to take deep breaths, got up and walked around, but the pain wouldn’t go away. All of the sudden I started to get sick and couldn’t stop. I knew something was really, really wrong so I called 911 and off I went. Don’t ever ignore the pains. When I got to the hospital they did a blood draw, asked me all kinds of questions. Several hours later the doctor came back and told me they wanted to take more blood. They had found the protein in my blood that is there when you have a heart attack. Sure enough it was a heart attack. Scary, but I survived so if you get chest pains that cause you to get sick call 911.
Cindy….I’m sorry you had that scare, but am so glad you’re doing better. I will say that I recently had a similar experience in the ER with my fiancé. We were clueless as to who was caring for him, how long we’d be there, etc. The service we received at our Vancouver, Washington hospital was unbelievably horrible. My fiancé ended up having severe kidney stones with incredible pain. Long story short, we were in that ER for 13 hours until we saw the doctor! It seemed like they only had 2 nurses in the whole ER. To me, it was unacceptable. I understand that hospitals are short handed,but for what health care costs, we deserve better. I was appalled. I hope things start to improve.
Good morning Cindy! I’m so glad to hear you’re ok. Your hair extensions are lovely! Glad you had a fun night with your friends! Poppy was adorable jumping out of the basket running towards you! Happy girl! 💕
Hi Cindy, I have had those same symptoms with pressure on my chest , neck and shoulder pain. My Doctor diagnosed it as Anxiety attack. Sweating and hard to breath as well. That was 13 years ago and we were gong through a lot in our lives. I still get those feelings and believe it or not a glass of water makes it go away for me. I think sometimes we don't realize things in our lives creep up on us even subconsciously. I still am aware that it could be heart related especially if a glass of water doesn't make it better!! Interesting how our emotions can create a physical ailment. I always look forward to your videos and enjoy your personality so much.💗
I have been an RN for 49 years. Still working. Nurses today are not the same as when I graduated in 1975. We were not like that. Sometimes old fashioned is better.
Thank you for sharing it with us. I know the feeling. It is scary. I went to the ER a few times thinking I might be having a heart attack. I still recommend you call 911 if in the future you are having similar symptoms. My father was not feeling well, went to an ER and was discharged a few hours later. After arriving home he was feeling worse and called 911. He was having a massive heart attack. Years later he died of one. Please don't ignore your symptoms and think it's only an indigestion. All the best to you and you friend Eric.
I’m so glad you went to the ER. We cannot be too careful. Specially, when we have any kind of chest pain…recently I’ve been having a some problems and probably due to a hiatal Hernia more test will be done on me…I do understand how you felt…if it continues go to your doctor and have them run some more test on you to make sure it’s not an issue with your esophagus or stomach indigestion reflux, etc. just a suggestion…sending hugs, love prayers kindness with lots of positive thoughts dear friend…♥️🙏🏼♥️
So glad you are alright. That can be frightening and when we dwell on it, it can really get to us. Glad you called 911 and are all checked out. Take good care and I agree with all you say. Love the hair as always and ty for the glimmer of what HG has for the season.........one of my fav places to get things for my home. :-)
Thanks Cindy, I am glad you shared that experience. So scary but glad you went to get help. Sometimes we don't want the bother of checking ourselves in to the hospital and then it is too late. Better safe than sorry. God bless you good health
I’m so glad you’re ok. Ohhhh yes, the pandemic changed the trajectory of how ER’s work. GONE are those days! I sat 12 hours in the ER with EXTREMELY high BP. They triaged me, did bloodwork, EKG, AND admitted me from the ER ROOM! Where I spent the night because they had no rooms! 😳 There was a 97 year, old woman, with a massive head wound who came in via ambulance, they took her to the back for about 30 minutes and stuck her right back out in the waiting room, and she just sat there with a bandage wrapped around her head. Forget it, the pandemic did so much damage to our healthcare system that they are so short staffed, and there are more patients then there are doctors and nurses. I truly understand your frustration and it’s extremely sad that in most people’s scariest moments wondering whether they’re going to live or die or what is going on with their health there’s the added stress of an ER visit. And even the most caring medical staff are just exhausted & overwhelmed.
Hi Cindy, please find a good Cardiologist and ask for an Echocardiogram. This is a procedure where you lay on the table and the technician takes a wand with some gel and places it on your heart. It can tell if your heart is working normally. It checks valve function and looks for any defects. My main concern for you is your shortness of breath This can happen if you have clogged arteries in your heart. It's a simple procedure that can rule out many things. It doesn't hurt . It's just like having an ultrasound. Having bloodwork at the ER can only rule out if you were having a heart attack but it does not determine if you have clogged arteries. Please do this extra precautionary step. I'm speaking from experience. God bless 🙌
Oh Cindy, I’m glad you ok , but it was good you played it safe by being proactive and got checked out !!!! I love those extensions n brand too !!! Thank you for taking us along on your night out . I bet Poppy glad you home from trip. Do you still take Poppy for ride on golf cart some? I bet Eric misses you after beautiful trip you shared . Love your videos hope you do more often and soon 🥳😘🥰. Take care have Blessed week
When it happened to me; I only had one pain across my chest but I was extremely fatigued. Doctor said I had to go to the ER. It was ONLY the blood work that showed I had a mild heart attack. This led to me having a cardiac catherization which showed I had a 90% blockage! That was a Friday. I had a triple bypass-pass on Monday. This saved my life. I was in my 60s. I never had any ndication of a heart condition before this. Had low blood pressure, good cholesterol levels & no other indications of a heart condition. The blood work indicated I had a heart attack. You are very lucky. Thank God🙏❤️
Firstly, praise God you are feeling better It's so sad how the staff treated you. My father was ill for a few years and we had to go to the hospital. If I wasn't there with him, "being a jerk" they would ignore us. My Vet staff treated us like gold but the hospital staff treated us like we were a bother. Treat people how you want to be treated, people are scared! Simple kindness can change everything. Hugs to you. God bless you with great health and happiness!
You are absolutely right, is it hard to just introduce oneself and say, why there doing , what there doing or we are doing this because ... It’s sad how the medical field lost the ability to introduce themselves and be a bit more sensitive to the patient who is probably worried about the situation their in. Your pieces of hair looks beautiful on you, you’ve got so much talent inserting the pieces of hair. Loved your video and so sorry that you were not feeling well.❤❤
Cindy, I’m so glad that you called 911 bc you never know. I’m thankful that you’re ok. Healthcare is pitiful these days and you have to be your own advocate. Love the music 💕
@@janicemiller4788 we did. I am aware that Cindy has a bob haircut. She has worn in previous videos. It is very nice and suits her. Perhaps you missed the other video(s).
@@cyndythomas7217 I’ve seen every video she’s made! Not trying to stir things up, but could you narrow down when she had that type of cut? Was it a wig?
Gosh, i’m so sorry that happened to you and you were all alone that must’ve been scary for you as well as Poppy. I had a medical emergency in August so I totally understand. I hope there is a neighbor that you’re close to that can be of some comfort with you I agree. with others still get checked out with your heart.💕🦋
My Grandmother suffered the same it was Angina.. took a long time to find out. Never ignore. Ginger Ale helps if it's stomach related. Glad your OK. Oh Cindy take care ❤❤❤🐶🐾🐾
Cindy, I’ve been to the ER at least 4 times. I am older than you & have had a mild heart attack called “Broken Heart Syndrome “ after my husband died. I have never had an experience like yours. My ER experiences were at 2 different hospitals; one a large medical Center & the others at my hometown hospital. The ER employees were all very considerate, wore name tags & introduced themselves & what they were going to do. Each hospital has a climate or culture that developed from Management downwards. It’s the same at large corporation sure. My visits were over more than 25 years. I don’t want any of your readers to be afraid of going to the ER. Speak slowly & treat staff like they are special & they’ll treat you like gold. People who work in the health services are special.. they see special things you cannot imagine; they save lives every day. Without them, we’d be lost. Treat them with respect & politely ask what they’re doing if they don’t tell you. My Kate daughter was a nurse who was very special. My two sons are medical professionals. One is a Veterinarian & the other is an ER professional, who has saved many lives & lost many patients. Hardest thing for them is losing a child. It takes them a long time to get over that kind of tragedy. You were smart to go to the ER. You probably might have been taken care of quicker if you had been sent there by a doctor but maybe not. Sounds like that ER Staff needs some Interpersonal training. Stay healthy. I was a lot younger when I had my heart attack. Take care of yourself - your health - not your hair!😍
I worked in a trauma 1 ER and when your in the hallway you can feel like a number and you can see the patients that are coming in. It’s such a sad world we live in and so many people depressed, or not well. I agree if they introduced themselves and said what they are doing. Glad your feeling better.
Still I salute you! The hours you work, the things you see and have to do. I’m a teacher and they say it takes certain types of people to teach. Takes miracle workers to nurse. Mu former mother in law was an RN in a hospital.
Cindy, my husband and I are a connoisseurs of the ER lately having been in several lately from Calif., Arizona, Nevada, to Idaho not once but several times all in a matter 4 months. One time my hubby and i were both in a ER room calling each other to see which room the other was in lol. Believe me most of them do as you suggest and would have hoped for…especially the Kaiser group>>>i have NEVER been Kaiser fan and joined kicking and screaming….but i have to say theirs are about the best especially in So Cal. Also if in Reno take a spin in the RENOWNED hospital…gorgeous and great care. You just got a bad one. Feel better my friend.
Cindy, I'm so happy you are doing good. When you put on video you said the Act of Contrition I hear you friend. I'm so glad you said it. It is a prayer that is so important in our faith. That is my go to prayer. Blessings and good health to you. You are such a Beautiful person. Love and light to you. 😇🙏❤❤❤💞💞💞
Hi, Cindy! Gosh…what an experience you had at the emergency…much less having to call 911! I am glad to see you are okay! I have had too many experiences in emergencies. Unfortunately I have encountered the same…but I am patient…too patient sometimes..just don’t say nothing…and I could be dying.😞☹️ I have been hospitalized 3 times for high blood pressure..my stays are usually 2 to 3 days…I was bad in not taking care of myself…and this year I found out I have heart failure after a trip to emergency for Covid. Long story short..I am on heart failure meds, doing okay..so better to be aware of your body when in doubt of pain in your chest. BTW…I enjoyed watching you use hair extensions! I have..or had very thick hair until I got on these heart meds. Lost a lot of hair from it. I might consider buying extensions! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed rest of the week! 💕🙏🌸
I’m so glad you’re ok Cindy! You did the right thing calling 911! Years ago my husband was out of the country because his Dad died and my daughter and I had to stay home. I was getting over a bad cold my sister was staying with me and I felt really bad going to pass out! It’s the scariest thing in the world! 🙏🏻 I’m sorry you were by yourself! 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Hi Cindy. Pleases do not ignore the "feelings" at our age it is important to get assistance as soon as possible. Yes, we may be inconvenienced but worth our lives. Hugs
💐 Hi Cindy, I’m so sorry that you experienced such a scare! It’s so difficult to believe it when we have something like that happen!! Please, if you need to go to the hospital again, go to Eisenhower!!! Your care will be so much better!!! We have a house in Sun City and come out quite often. You never want to go to a smaller hospital like that, especially if you suspect anything more than a cold! You always look so beautiful 😊. Very refreshing to see a woman our age that really cares! I wish you the best! 🩷👛💄👠🐶🌷
Glad you’re ok Cindy!! I think it depends on the hospital. I just spent 4 nights, 1st in the ER then admitted w my Mom and they all did a great job introducing themselves and telling us what they were doing. Maybe a little more info on prognosis sooner would help tho. ❤xo
Pleased you are alright,my dear To be fair,have had nothing but praise for all the Nurses and Doctors I’ve met over the years in Hospitals Chest pain is scary and it’s always best to go to the ER Warm Hugs 🤗
I am commenting from another video that you made showing how you decorated your house for the holidays ! I am 66 and semi retired and I have a roommate who is disabled male that we have known for a long time. He’s in his seventies. I have a grown daughter and three grandkids who are close by and several cats. My best girlfriend past away a few years ago and I don’t have many girlfriends except a few from jr high who I only interact with on Facebook! So I guess there are pros and cons in life although I could easily live alone!
So glad you’re feeling better! My dad actually had a heart attack last week, had to have surgery and is recovering well thank God! We gotta take good care of ourselves and be grateful for every opportunity we have at life. ❤
Hi Cindy, I am so happy you are fine and doing well. What a scare especially when you’re alone. I agree with you. No one has time to do anything or do their job well these days. The one concern I have is perhaps because it was such a hot day and you were working in the heat and blowing Using your blower could cause you to take in a lot of dust and then when you went into your house that had just been cleaned. Perhaps they use cleaning agents that were not good for you. Maybe they should be told to use natural cleaning aids if they are not doing so. Bless you continued good health. I love your show and You.🙏🏻
Ohmigosh, regarding your comment of “if I was a kindergarten teacher, I would save these and figure out a way to use them for some kind of a lesson and save enough for everybody to have one and we could share”… I sure got a big smile on my face hearing that. As a sign language interpreter, I’ve had the honor to work alongside many really great teachers and have marveled at their heart for teaching, heart for their kids, their ability to make learning fun and keep order in a room full of wiggly students. I’m retired now, but your comment took me right back to those happy times of watching a true pro at work in her classroom. 😊
So glad you are ok Cindy! Very scary for you to go through that. I sure hope you don’t experience that again, you are very loved and we want you to be around forever 💜
After working in an ER once a week for 6 years, some nurses need a refresher class on how to act. Also, I hope it wasn't a gall bladder attack. Or esophageal spasm. I have had that and its painful. I did go in there thinking I was having a Gallbladder attack. It was a heart attack with no normal symptoms. So glad youare ok.
Oh Cindy, so good that you called. Sometimes we second guess , I had a heat stroke this summer and I passed out and fortunately my friend was with me enjoying a cold margarita at the outside shopping area in town called the landing. I refused going to hospital but my friend took me home and stayed with me a couple of hours . I went to my Doc on Monday and found a small cyst on my brain after having a cat scan. The Doc is watching the cyst but long story short I was sick with vertigo for 6 weeks . The great thing is the EMTs did a ekg right then and there and all was good as far as my stats. I hope you will follow up with your primary doc as I did. It’s so scary kid when we are alone , we all know our own body and we know when things aren’t right. So just go with your gut feeling.
Cindy I'm a new subscriber but always watch you..I lived in PS for 21 years..Now in Menifee near Temecula.. Cindy, I would not dismiss the pain..at our age it's good to have tests for clogged arteries..CAC test will show calcium build up if any..Stress test etc.. Let me tell you, I so agree with you about the Hospitals these days..It's scary stuff the way they are understaffed and dismissive of our concerns..Overcrowding is also a problem..JFK would not be my first choice for hospital or ER..Eisenhower would be..Take care ..I love watching you..One class act for sure..
No Cindy you must call 911 if you feel like that again. My husband had a bad bout of chest pain during the night that turned out to be heartburn but his doctor said never ignore these symptoms as they are very similar to a heart attack. I’m also a retired nurse midwife and I’m appalled to learn that nursing staff treated you this way. Being busy is no excuse. I’m sorry you went through this 🥲
And I Love how you wanted to save the tube.....it’s how we were raised ! My Mom, a busy 19:12 First grade teacher and Mom of six, and then me, as a loving and busy but financially poor Mom of 2, we did just That ! We made toys outta garbage ! (my husband’s nightmare....but...he grew up owning a store, so his Mom literally Never ran out of Anything ! Picture being THAT newlywed wife ! A ruff ride with so many more to come ! Have a great day - I Love how you always Do ! ❤️🎃🙏🏼😍
Never ignore that type of pain! Better safe than sorry. As far as the hospital, I think that is their new normal so to speak. I am seeing the same treatment at my Doctor 's office. I think it is very unprofessional but we are a number and a dollar sign😢. Glad everything turned out ok.
I have to see in NJ, my local hospitals are very attentive, nurses go above and beyond keeping patients informed, myself and my family have had recent hospital stay and in the emergency room
Agree that the medical profession could use better bedside manner! It’s routine to them but not us. Let’s face it we are at their mercy and as everywhere else short staffed. Glad you checked it out and got peace of mind 😊
I’m glad you’re ok. I’m not a nurse, but I don’t know about ignoring it if it happens again. Please be safe. 20 years ago I went in and sent home saying probably just anxiety and gave me prescription. 2 weeks later I had to be taken by ambulance. It was my heart and I’ve had an implanted defibrillator since. Praying that is was just heartburn. God bless you and keep you healthy and strong.
I cut my thumb half off last summer, and waited THIRTEEN hours to get it stitched up. Took 6 hours to get to a room. Then 7 more before the doc came in. Who immediately yanked the gauze bandage off my hand, which cause the wound to reopen PAINFULLY, gushing blood EVERYWHERE all over again. I started crying it was soooo painful. 2 people had come in that entire time, and they were there because they walked into my room by accident! This is in the PAC NW. These issues are EVERYWHERE! 😬
Dear Miss Cindy: The way the world is now days, it is asking too much...we are past sanity...I am glad you are well...I heard a story one time about a heart doctor's convention and one of the doctors had a heart attack right in their mist...he died because his own doctor was not present...I am ready to die in my sleep any night...our world is insane...absolutely no common sense but all these HIGHLY educated people...ridiculous...much love to you...
Cindy first so glad that you were OK but as a retired Nurse that is not how things should be but I hear from many unfortunately it seems to be the norm. If I were you I would want the labs results from that visit & you should schedule a visit with your Dr. ASAP. to discuss this what you were experiencing.
Your local hospital sounds identical to mine. It's so sad that they're not more on the ball with better service. Thank God you got to go home and they didn't have to keep you there. Glad you're doing better too. Hugs 💗💗💗
Cindy, I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I’d like to suggest that you follow up with a cardiologist. I have a history of heart issues, and I’ve always “passed” my EKGs, even in the midst of a heart attack. Please take care. 💕 P.S. I like your rules about easy-open packaging!!
So glad you are ok. I totally agree with your thoughts about the hospital. It is just another day for them but it is a scary time for the patient and they need to take a moment to let you know what the plan of action/treatment will be. I have been in the ER with my elderly parents and literally had to go track someone down to find out what was going on. They leave you for hours in a room with no communication for far too long.
My husband had a major heart attack 3 months ago. Nonsmoker, slim, with a clean bill of health the previous month. If he had waited a few more minutes before calling 911, he wouldn't have survived. He was airlifted to the hospital for a triple bypass. I'm thankful they saved his life but the after care in the hospital (17 days) was atrocious. Dirty hospital and short staffed. Thankful you're okay.❤❤❤❤
Cindy-Thank you for going to ER. I’m so thankful you are OK. Unfortunately, the services now at almost all ERs, is poor. They are understaffed to the point of time is used for critical, urgent care, and actively dying people. Manners are no longer practiced. The shifts most nurses work are double shifts, and they are on auto-pilot. But you are absolutely right about you have every right to be informed of your status and being kept up-to-date. I’m sorry you were treated the way you were. It’s not asking too much to know the doctor’s name, and what the treatment plan for you is. But, things in the ER have changed and no improvement is expected anytime soon. Still go to the ER when something feels different and you are having chest pain. At our age, we have no choice. I will support you for President, as I totally agree with your policies. Love the extensions. Your hair is always gorgeous. I loved your video today. Thanks for getting me out of the house and taking me shopping. I enjoyed it. Hugs from Mare in Texas. ❤
Cindy,
You need to get a work up on your heart . I’m 68 years and I thought I was having problems with my heart….. my life partner had open heart surgery without having a heart attach and I had been so stressed along with me being his care taker .. I finally got my up stress test , nuclear etc . This will make you feel better and you’ll know how your heart is doing ….everything came out fine for me thank god . I wish you would do the same .
I’m glad you ok ❤
As a nurse for over 35 years, this makes me so sad. Nurses are never too busy to look a patient in the eye and communicate. I’m
embarrassed to hear this type of unprofessionalism goes on. Sounds like there is poor leadership as well…I am happy to know you’re ok ❤️
I was a nurse for many years and it sure isn't like it was 25 years ago. I know there is a shortage of nurses and they are worked beyond sometimes what one human can do in a shift. Happy you are ok Cindy.
As a retired RN, I’m so sorry you had this experience and I do agree that health care has changed so much over the years…it is frightening and so sad… so glad you are doing well.
Unfortunately this is so common today.
So frustrating when you're being ignored and left not knowing what is going on in the middle of the hallway.. It never used to be that way. Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Glad you are okay now!
I'm an ER nurse and you are so correct. Unfortunately, we are overworked and too many patients per nurse.. So sorry you had such a bad experience.
Not your fault, I know hospitals are a business but I hate that admin won’t hire more nurses
Part of a nurses purpose is to comfort a patient and inform as to what to expect and being in a hospital is frightening . Glad you are ok .
I agree. The nurses seem to do the leg work and lots of paperwork. They are needed
Hi Cindy. I am glad that you did not have a heart attack. You were smart in going to the hospital to check about it and making sure that the pain was indigestion. Take Care.
As a retired nurse of 33 years, your concerns of hospital protocols are spot on. Glad you’re doing well.
I know people are dedicated
Oh Cindy, Sadly since Covid there seems to be NO compassion in the world for anything, we've become Numbers now instead of Humans. It's like that in CANADA as well. Glad you're Okay 🤗❤
I found many treat me like just a number, but others do not. Our hospital keeps tabs on them...asks for feedback for almost every visit.
Cindy, You have such a gift for communicating! Your experience and suggestions should be shared with hospitals and especially ERs all across the land! Thank you for being a voice for all of us! Glad you are okay!
Omgosh, I would love that
I am so glad you are okay. ❤ To be in the medical field is a “calling”. It is not for everybody. I totally 💯 agree with you Cindy. We are people and we’re already scared about being in the ER. Where is the empathy? Where is the compassion? That’s why a lot of people I know do not like to go to the hospital.
I worked in medical field almost 29 years. I have never used their services until I retired. If I had treated patients they way I am treated I would have been fired! I try to respect the professionals in this field but they certainly were not trained properly or just do not care. My diagnosis is I am 71 and they say "what the heck" By the way if a patient enter our ER we had to have a 20 minute turn around in getting their blood to lab!
I know people get overworked
So glad you are doing well! My daughter has been s nurse for 15 years and just recently graduated as a nurse practitioner! She really has a heart for people! Unfortunately so many are so burned out they really don't even realize you are a person! I am sure we should be praying for them all as it is a lot to deal with daily!🙏😅
I agree under a, lot of pressure indeed a lot of nurses suffered in the UK during covid and a lot left the profession due to stress anxiety and the impact on their mental health note the story about the drunk, our healthcare professionals experience abuse more now than they ever did it was unheard of at one time, a friend of mine was a, paramedic no longer, she was kicked in the stomach in A&E by a drunk patient she had literally picked up from the road and brought into A&E, after the assault she collapsed with a perforated bowel she left the profession
More nurses need to be hired
Oh my sweet Cindy .I’m so very happy u r ok . U mentioned u said The Act of Contrition prayer….that brought me back ..”way back” to my childhood days 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Always, Angela
🙏
Cindy, so happy to hear you're ok! It's very scary having chest pain at anytime. You did the right thing going to the ER ! It's better to be safe than sorry! Got a little tickled with you in the hallway and checking out all the action going on lol...so it was a little scary not knowing about that man hollering ...but it made time a bit more interesting lol....I'm nosey like that!😂 Take care of yourself 😊
So true!!
I absolutely love your cross in the corner. I couldn’t stop staring at it. I’m so glad you are ok. I was in the ER for 19 hours with a possible blood clot. My doctor sent me so I could get a quick check up. But even my doctor couldn’t get me in sooner. My ER isn’t the only one with problems. Something has to change.
One year my sister in law bought everyone in our family one of those crosses. They are beautiful! Don’t think this is crazy but when someone in out family dies, we all being our crosses to put on each table set up for the celebration after the service. So each table has a flower arrangement, a cross, and photos in frames. It really looks nice.
Cheryl 561 ive always loved that Cross too!!!!
@@marclayton3537. Would you believe one viewer asked me to move that cross because it distracted her
@@PalmSpringsCindy it’s called Conviction Cindy…if I could buy one I would!! 😘🐶🙏🇦🇺
Cindy, glad you are ok.
Btw, I bet you were a great teacher. The kind that kids will never forget. ❤
Well, who knows!! I have some great memories
Yes she was a great teacher. She taught two of my children in middle school.❤
Thanks for sharing your 911 experience and glad you are okay. Loved, loved, loved the sequence that was speeded up on your hair styling techniques. Do more speedy ones, they are a joy and brought a smile to my face.
I was an ER nurse for years. You did exactly the right thing by calling 911. I hope I never handled myself as you described. There really is no excuse for not establishing a rapport with your patient. I recently took my 43 year old daughter to an ER with chest pain who has a history of a heart condition. I was so upset with her care. Even when I was busy and the ER was crazy, I was polite and introduced myself. Glad you are okay. That's what's most important.
I’m believing people were just very busy
Oh Cindy, that can be so scary. Using Doctor Google is usually not a good idea. I’m thankful for first responders always there to help.
I agree with you 💯 The ERs in the USA need to be revamped. The staff seems to be in a huge fog since Covid ( it was an issue before C but has only gotten worse) It’s like the staff has forgotten they are working with HUMANS, snd they are actually working FOR US. It’s got to get better. The cost is out of control and the staff is rude.
Thankful you’re ok. 💕
Bidens Ameruca!
Hi,its the same here in the u.k.we are treated like kids,i to was left in the corridor in hospital they take all your vitals then leave you for hours although i did get asked if I wanted a hot drink,its the same at our doctors surgery they look at the computer screen whilst you are telling them whats wrong no eye to eye contact at all ,they have no time for us anymore the n.h.s here is rubbish, its because of all the immigrants the medical profession is on its last legs,better to go private but who can afford to do that with the cost of living being through the roof,unbelievable, Elaine u.k. x p.s. hope you're feeling better, take care x
Hugs i appreciate you
Thank you so much for sharing with us! I know at our age it sometimes feels like we "disappear" in a situation. It is such a lonely place to be. So glad it wasn't your heart! I love decorating for each season...I change my front door wreaths and inside decor for every occasion. My Mom used to do that so I guess I got it from her. Poppy at the end sure was happy to see you!!
I love hearing you enjoy each season
Glad you are ok Cindy but you need to be sure and address your concerns if the hospital sends you a survey on your experience. I totally agree with you.
I sure will
Thanks for sharing. We recently purchased a home in Rancho Mirage to be closer to my parents in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, I have been to ER in Eisenhower and Desert Regional for my elderly Mother. The experience you shared has been the same for us. I know the medical field is draining but a little better communication while in ER is needed. I am grateful for those working in the hospital.
I am happy you are feeling better and happy I found your channel. I am big on watching for beauty tips and home decor. Your hair came out fabulous. Since I am renovating the backyard , I will be keeping eye on your channel for ideas.
Had the same symptoms.. I had the widow maker 2018 and I barely survived. Always go to the hospital. ❤
Sounds just like my last visit to ER w left shoulder pain. I do have a heart condition and have had one mild heart attack. It’s everywhere. I’ve had the rescue here several times and the EMT’s couldn’t be any better, so kind and professional
The Emts are wonderful
I’m glad you weren’t suffering from a heart attack Cindy. I have a similar story, but unfortunately it was a heart attack. It was on a Saturday evening and I had made myself a lovely dinner of crab legs, Caesar salad, garlic bread with cheese and a nice bottle of white wine. I started to eat, but like you I had these chest pains. I tried to take deep breaths, got up and walked around, but the pain wouldn’t go away. All of the sudden I started to get sick and couldn’t stop. I knew something was really, really wrong so I called 911 and off I went. Don’t ever ignore the pains. When I got to the hospital they did a blood draw, asked me all kinds of questions. Several hours later the doctor came back and told me they wanted to take more blood. They had found the protein in my blood that is there when you have a heart attack. Sure enough it was a heart attack. Scary, but I survived so if you get chest pains that cause you to get sick call 911.
Thank goodness you are ok. Very scary and you missed eating that delicious crab leg dinner- my mouth was watering! Hehehe
Cindy….I’m sorry you had that scare, but am so glad you’re doing better. I will say that I recently had a similar experience in the ER with my fiancé. We were clueless as to who was caring for him, how long we’d be there, etc. The service we received at our Vancouver, Washington hospital was unbelievably horrible. My fiancé ended up having severe kidney stones with incredible pain. Long story short, we were in that ER for 13 hours until we saw the doctor! It seemed like they only had 2 nurses in the whole ER. To me, it was unacceptable. I understand that hospitals are short handed,but for what health care costs, we deserve better. I was appalled. I hope things start to improve.
Good morning Cindy! I’m so glad to hear you’re ok. Your hair extensions are lovely! Glad you had a fun night with your friends! Poppy was adorable jumping out of the basket running towards you! Happy girl! 💕
Hi Cindy, I have had those same symptoms with pressure on my chest , neck and shoulder pain. My Doctor diagnosed it as Anxiety attack. Sweating and hard to breath as well. That was 13 years ago and we were gong through a lot in our lives. I still get those feelings and believe it or not a glass of water makes it go away for me. I think sometimes we don't realize things in our lives creep up on us even subconsciously.
I still am aware that it could be heart related especially if a glass of water doesn't make it better!! Interesting how our emotions can create a physical ailment.
I always look forward to your videos and enjoy your personality so much.💗
So true! I mostly think all is good … but then the stress of life can take effect
I have been an RN for 49 years. Still working. Nurses today are not the same as when I graduated in 1975. We were not like that. Sometimes old fashioned is better.
Thank you for sharing it with us. I know the feeling. It is scary. I went to the ER a few times thinking I might be having a heart attack. I still recommend you call 911 if in the future you are having similar symptoms. My father was not feeling well, went to an ER and was discharged a few hours later. After arriving home he was feeling worse and called 911. He was having a massive heart attack. Years later he died of one. Please don't ignore your symptoms and think it's only an indigestion. All the best to you and you friend Eric.
I’m so sorry
Cindy your dog is so cute you can tell she loves you so much❤
I’m so glad you went to the ER. We cannot be too careful. Specially, when we have any kind of chest pain…recently I’ve been having a some problems and probably due to a hiatal Hernia more test will be done on me…I do understand how you felt…if it continues go to your doctor and have them run some more test on you to make sure it’s not an issue with your esophagus or stomach indigestion reflux, etc. just a suggestion…sending hugs, love prayers kindness with lots of positive thoughts dear friend…♥️🙏🏼♥️
Glad you are okay. It sucks to be ignored...makes us remember to always give strangers our time and smiles. P.S. - Cindy for President!❤
So glad you are alright. That can be frightening and when we dwell on it, it can really get to us. Glad you called 911 and are all checked out. Take good care and I agree with all you say. Love the hair as always and ty for the glimmer of what HG has for the season.........one of my fav places to get things for my home. :-)
Thanks Cindy, I am glad you shared that experience. So scary but glad you went to get help. Sometimes we don't want the bother of checking ourselves in to the hospital and then it is too late. Better safe than sorry. God bless you good health
I felt a bit hesitant but it s all good
frightening for sure, I admire your ability to go on with your everyday interests after a scare,
I hide under the blankets , lol
I’m so glad you’re ok. Ohhhh yes, the pandemic changed the trajectory of how ER’s work. GONE are those days! I sat 12 hours in the ER with EXTREMELY high BP. They triaged me, did bloodwork, EKG, AND admitted me from the ER ROOM! Where I spent the night because they had no rooms! 😳 There was a 97 year, old woman, with a massive head wound who came in via ambulance, they took her to the back for about 30 minutes and stuck her right back out in the waiting room, and she just sat there with a bandage wrapped around her head. Forget it, the pandemic did so much damage to our healthcare system that they are so short staffed, and there are more patients then there are doctors and nurses. I truly understand your frustration and it’s extremely sad that in most people’s scariest moments wondering whether they’re going to live or die or what is going on with their health there’s the added stress of an ER visit. And even the most caring medical staff are just exhausted & overwhelmed.
Hi Cindy, please find a good Cardiologist and ask for an Echocardiogram. This is a procedure where you lay on the table and the technician takes a wand with some gel and places it on your heart. It can tell if your heart is working normally. It checks valve function and looks for any defects. My main concern for you is your shortness of breath
This can happen if you have clogged arteries in your heart. It's a simple procedure that can rule out many things. It doesn't hurt . It's just like having an ultrasound. Having bloodwork at the ER can only rule out if you were having a heart attack but it does not determine if you have clogged arteries. Please do this extra precautionary step. I'm speaking from experience.
God bless 🙌
Yes, thanks for mentioning that! I've had an echocardiogram, and they don't hurt at all.
Glad all is well with you!! Video was awesome , loved HomeGoods ! Fun concert 🎶🎶
Oh Cindy, I’m glad you ok , but it was good you played it safe by being proactive and got checked out !!!!
I love those extensions n brand too !!!
Thank you for taking us along on your night out . I bet Poppy glad you home from trip. Do you still take Poppy for ride on golf cart some? I bet Eric misses you after beautiful trip you shared .
Love your videos hope you do more often and soon 🥳😘🥰. Take care have Blessed week
Cindy, I'm so thankful you're ok...
I enjoy your videos tremendously and you are beautiful inside and out.
Thank you so much! 🌹🦋🌺🌷🌸
When it happened to me; I only had one pain across my chest but I was extremely fatigued. Doctor said I had to go to the ER. It was ONLY the blood work that showed I had a mild heart attack. This led to me having a cardiac catherization which showed I had a 90% blockage! That was a Friday. I had a triple bypass-pass on Monday. This saved my life. I was in my 60s. I never had any ndication of a heart condition before this. Had low blood pressure, good cholesterol levels & no other indications of a heart condition. The blood work indicated I had a heart attack. You are very lucky. Thank God🙏❤️
Firstly, praise God you are feeling better It's so sad how the staff treated you. My father was ill for a few years and we had to go to the hospital. If I wasn't there with him, "being a jerk" they would ignore us. My Vet staff treated us like gold but the hospital staff treated us like we were a bother. Treat people how you want to be treated, people are scared! Simple kindness can change everything. Hugs to you. God bless you with great health and happiness!
I think people can become desensitized
You are absolutely right, is it hard to just introduce oneself and say, why there doing , what there doing or we are doing this because ... It’s sad how the medical field lost the ability to introduce themselves and be a bit more sensitive to the patient who is probably worried about the situation their in. Your pieces of hair looks beautiful on you, you’ve got so much talent inserting the pieces of hair. Loved your video and so sorry that you were not feeling well.❤❤
Hugs, 🌹🦋🌺🌷🌸
Cindy, I’m so glad that you called 911 bc you never know. I’m thankful that you’re ok. Healthcare is pitiful these days and you have to be your own advocate. Love the music 💕
I know people get overworked
I’m so glad to hear you are doing well now. What a harrowing experience!
Btw I LOVE your darling bob haircut.
Bob haircut? Did we see the same video?😂
@@janicemiller4788 we did. I am aware that Cindy has a bob haircut. She has worn in previous videos. It is very nice and suits her. Perhaps you missed the other video(s).
@@cyndythomas7217 I’ve seen every video she’s made! Not trying to stir things up, but could you narrow down when she had that type of cut? Was it a wig?
Gosh, i’m so sorry that happened to you and you were all alone that must’ve been scary for you as well as Poppy. I had a medical emergency in August so I totally understand. I hope there is a neighbor that you’re close to that can be of some comfort with you I agree. with others still get checked out with your heart.💕🦋
Cindy, I’m so glad you’re ok. Those kind of situations are unnerving, but better safe than sorry!
So true!
My Grandmother suffered the same it was Angina.. took a long time to find out. Never ignore. Ginger Ale helps if it's stomach related. Glad your OK. Oh Cindy take care ❤❤❤🐶🐾🐾
Thanks for the tip!
Cindy, I’ve been to the ER at least 4 times. I am older than you & have had a mild heart attack called “Broken Heart Syndrome “ after my husband died. I have never had an experience like yours. My ER experiences were at 2 different hospitals; one a large medical Center & the others at my hometown hospital. The ER employees were all very considerate, wore name tags & introduced themselves & what they were going to do. Each hospital has a climate or culture that developed from Management downwards. It’s the same at large corporation sure. My visits were over more than 25 years. I don’t want any of your readers to be afraid of going to the ER. Speak slowly & treat staff like they are special & they’ll treat you like gold. People who work in the health services are special.. they see special things you cannot imagine; they save lives every day. Without them, we’d be lost. Treat them with respect & politely ask what they’re doing if they don’t tell you. My Kate daughter was a nurse who was very special. My two sons are medical professionals. One is a Veterinarian & the other is an ER professional, who has saved many lives & lost many patients. Hardest thing for them is losing a child. It takes them a long time to get over that kind of tragedy. You were smart to go to the ER. You probably might have been taken care of quicker if you had been sent there by a doctor but maybe not. Sounds like that ER Staff needs some Interpersonal training. Stay healthy. I was a lot younger when I had my heart attack. Take care of yourself - your health - not your hair!😍
I think people are overworked and become desensitized. I’m sure there were better days and not ERs are the same. Hugs
I like your music 🎶 🎵 for home goods.
Thank you for sharing!!!
Love you too Cindy!❤
Oh Cindy that's so scary. So glad it all turned out well. Working in the heat is so hard on us especially as we get older. Take care !! 😊💖
Yes! Thank you!
I worked in a trauma 1 ER and when your in the hallway you can feel like a number and you can see the patients that are coming in. It’s such a sad world we live in and so many people depressed, or not well. I agree if they introduced themselves and said what they are doing. Glad your feeling better.
Still I salute you! The hours you work, the things you see and have to do. I’m a teacher and they say it takes certain types of people to teach. Takes miracle workers to nurse. Mu former mother in law was an RN in a hospital.
Cindy, my husband and I are a connoisseurs of the ER lately having been in several lately from Calif., Arizona, Nevada, to Idaho not once but several times all in a matter 4 months. One time my hubby and i were both in a ER room calling each other to see which room the other was in lol. Believe me most of them do as you suggest and would have hoped for…especially the Kaiser group>>>i have NEVER been Kaiser fan and joined kicking and screaming….but i have to say theirs are about the best especially in So Cal. Also if in Reno take a spin in the RENOWNED hospital…gorgeous and great care. You just got a bad one. Feel better my friend.
Cindy, I'm so happy you are doing good. When you put on video you said the Act of Contrition I hear you friend. I'm so glad you said it. It is a prayer that is so important in our faith. That is my go to prayer. Blessings and good health to you. You are such a Beautiful person. Love and light to you. 😇🙏❤❤❤💞💞💞
Hi, Cindy! Gosh…what an experience you had at the emergency…much less having to call 911! I am glad to see you are okay! I have had too many experiences in emergencies. Unfortunately I have encountered the same…but I am patient…too patient sometimes..just don’t say nothing…and I could be dying.😞☹️ I have been hospitalized 3 times for high blood pressure..my stays are usually 2 to 3 days…I was bad in not taking care of myself…and this year I found out I have heart failure after a trip to emergency for Covid. Long story short..I am on heart failure meds, doing okay..so better to be aware of your body when in doubt of pain in your chest. BTW…I enjoyed watching you use hair extensions! I have..or had very thick hair until I got on these heart meds. Lost a lot of hair from it. I might consider buying extensions! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed rest of the week! 💕🙏🌸
I’m so glad you’re ok Cindy! You did the right thing calling 911! Years ago my husband was out of the country because his Dad died and my daughter and I had to stay home. I was getting over a bad cold my sister was staying with me and I felt really bad going to pass out! It’s the scariest thing in the world! 🙏🏻 I’m sorry you were by yourself! 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
I love the way you told this story. As long as they did their job,doesn’t matter if they were courteous. The ER is a busy stressful place.
Yes it is
That hospital needs to address their lack of patient interaction. I'm a nurse and it is not ok not to explain to patients what is happening to them.
Really? Hmmm, I don’t want to be a bad guy b. I know people get overworked
Hi Cindy. Pleases do not ignore the "feelings" at our age it is important to get assistance as soon as possible. Yes, we may be inconvenienced but worth our lives. Hugs
💐 Hi Cindy, I’m so sorry that you experienced such a scare! It’s so difficult to believe it when we have something like that happen!! Please, if you need to go to the hospital again, go to Eisenhower!!! Your care will be so much better!!! We have a house in Sun City and come out quite often. You never want to go to a smaller hospital like that, especially if you suspect anything more than a cold! You always look so beautiful 😊. Very refreshing to see a woman our age that really cares! I wish you the best! 🩷👛💄👠🐶🌷
🌹😎🌸🦋🌺🌷🎈🎁
Glad you’re ok Cindy!! I think it depends on the hospital. I just spent 4 nights, 1st in the ER then admitted w my Mom and they all did a great job introducing themselves and telling us what they were doing. Maybe a little more info on prognosis sooner would help tho. ❤xo
Pleased you are alright,my dear
To be fair,have had nothing but praise for all the Nurses and Doctors I’ve met over the years in Hospitals
Chest pain is scary and it’s always best to go to the ER
Warm Hugs 🤗
I know they are dedicated for sure
Glad to hear our Cindy is Ok! Take care. Enjoying the extensions video. 🥰
I love to hear your stories!!I love how you tell them!!I feel like I was there!!❤
I am commenting from another video that you made showing how you decorated your house for the holidays !
I am 66 and semi retired and I have a roommate who is disabled male that we have known for a long time. He’s in his seventies. I have a grown daughter and three grandkids who are close by and several cats. My best girlfriend past away a few years ago and I don’t have many girlfriends except a few from jr high who I only interact with on Facebook! So I guess there are pros and cons in life although I could easily live alone!
So glad you’re feeling better! My dad actually had a heart attack last week, had to have surgery and is recovering well thank God! We gotta take good care of ourselves and be grateful for every opportunity we have at life. ❤
How is your dad doing??
@@PalmSpringsCindy he’s doing much better! Thanks for asking Cindy ❤️
Hi Cindy, I am so happy you are fine and doing well. What a scare especially when you’re alone. I agree with you. No one has time to do anything or do their job well these days. The one concern I have is perhaps because it was such a hot day and you were working in the heat and blowing Using your blower could cause you to take in a lot of dust and then when you went into your house that had just been cleaned. Perhaps they use cleaning agents that were not good for you. Maybe they should be told to use natural cleaning aids if they are not doing so. Bless you continued good health. I love your show and You.🙏🏻
Ohmigosh, regarding your comment of “if I was a kindergarten teacher, I would save these and figure out a way to use them for some kind of a lesson and save enough for everybody to have one and we could share”…
I sure got a big smile on my face hearing that. As a sign language interpreter, I’ve had the honor to work alongside many really great teachers and have marveled at their heart for teaching, heart for their kids, their ability to make learning fun and keep order in a room full of wiggly students.
I’m retired now, but your comment took me right back to those happy times of watching a true pro at work in her classroom. 😊
So glad you are ok Cindy! Very scary for you to go through that. I sure hope you don’t experience that again, you are very loved and we want you to be around forever 💜
Can't wait for you to be President...what fun. So glad you are doing well now. So great to hear from you...always makes my day.
After working in an ER once a week for 6 years, some nurses need a refresher class on how to act. Also, I hope it wasn't a gall bladder attack. Or esophageal spasm. I have had that and its painful. I did go in there thinking I was having a
Gallbladder attack. It was a heart attack with no normal symptoms. So glad youare ok.
Oh Cindy, so good that you called. Sometimes we second guess , I had a heat stroke this summer and I passed out and fortunately my friend was with me enjoying a cold margarita at the outside shopping area in town called the landing. I refused going to hospital but my friend took me home and stayed with me a couple of hours . I went to my Doc on Monday and found a small cyst on my brain after having a cat scan. The Doc is watching the cyst but long story short I was sick with vertigo for 6 weeks . The great thing is the EMTs did a ekg right then and there and all was good as far as my stats. I hope you will follow up with your primary doc as I did. It’s so scary kid when we are alone , we all know our own body and we know when things aren’t right. So just go with your gut feeling.
I'm sorry to hear this, Cindy! I was rushed into hospital last December with heart palpitations. I'm doing well now. Glad you're OK 👍
I’m so glad to hear you are doing better
Hi Cindy. Your extensions looks beautiful added to your hair. Thank you for showing it. Take Care. 😊
Cindy I'm a new subscriber but always watch you..I lived in PS for 21 years..Now in Menifee near Temecula.. Cindy, I would not dismiss the pain..at our age it's good to have tests for clogged arteries..CAC test will show calcium build up if any..Stress test etc..
Let me tell you, I so agree with you about the Hospitals these days..It's scary stuff the way they are understaffed and dismissive of our concerns..Overcrowding is also a problem..JFK would not be my first choice for hospital or ER..Eisenhower would be..Take care ..I love watching you..One class act for sure..
Hi Cindy. Thank God you went to the ER and got good reports. Take care of yourself ❤️❤️
Ya, that’s about my normal experience that I have had too. Glad you are ok!
No Cindy you must call 911 if you feel like that again. My husband had a bad bout of chest pain during the night that turned out to be heartburn but his doctor said never ignore these symptoms as they are very similar to a heart attack. I’m also a retired nurse midwife and I’m appalled to learn that nursing staff treated you this way. Being busy is no excuse. I’m sorry you went through this 🥲
I’m glad your hubby is ok and it wasn’t heart attack
And I Love how you wanted to save the tube.....it’s how we were raised ! My Mom, a busy 19:12 First grade teacher and Mom of six, and then me, as a loving and busy but financially poor Mom of 2, we did just That ! We made toys outta garbage ! (my husband’s nightmare....but...he grew up owning a store, so his Mom literally Never ran out of Anything ! Picture being THAT newlywed wife ! A ruff ride with so many more to come ! Have a great day - I Love how you always Do ! ❤️🎃🙏🏼😍
Never ignore that type of pain! Better safe than sorry. As far as the hospital, I think that is their new normal so to speak. I am seeing the same treatment at my Doctor 's office. I think it is very unprofessional but we are a number and a dollar sign😢. Glad everything turned out ok.
I have to see in NJ, my local hospitals are very attentive, nurses go above and beyond keeping patients informed, myself and my family have had recent hospital stay and in the emergency room
Thank you for the video. Learned a lot! 😇
Best wishes!
Agree that the medical profession could use better bedside manner! It’s routine to them but not us. Let’s face it we are at their mercy and as everywhere else short staffed. Glad you checked it out and got peace of mind 😊
We are helpless!!
I’m glad you’re ok. I’m not a nurse, but I don’t know about ignoring it if it happens again. Please be safe.
20 years ago I went in and sent home saying probably just anxiety and gave me prescription.
2 weeks later I had to be taken by ambulance. It was my heart and I’ve had an implanted defibrillator since. Praying that is was just heartburn. God bless you and keep you healthy and strong.
So much better to be safe than sorry!!! I’m glad that you are okay - sad that the ER experience was so lousy!
I cut my thumb half off last summer, and waited THIRTEEN hours to get it stitched up. Took 6 hours to get to a room. Then 7 more before the doc came in. Who immediately yanked the gauze bandage off my hand, which cause the wound to reopen PAINFULLY, gushing blood EVERYWHERE all over again. I started crying it was soooo painful. 2 people had come in that entire time, and they were there because they walked into my room by accident! This is in the PAC NW. These issues are EVERYWHERE! 😬
You are so entertaining ! Thanks for sharing..
Dear Miss Cindy: The way the world is now days, it is asking too much...we are past sanity...I am glad you are well...I heard a story one time about a heart doctor's convention and one of the doctors had a heart attack right in their mist...he died because his own doctor was not present...I am ready to die in my sleep any night...our world is insane...absolutely no common sense but all these HIGHLY educated people...ridiculous...much love to you...
Cindy first so glad that you were OK but as a retired Nurse that is not how things should be but I hear from many unfortunately it seems to be the norm. If I were you I would want the labs results from that visit & you should schedule a visit with your Dr. ASAP. to discuss this what you were experiencing.
So glad You are good Cindy … take care love from Spain ❤
Your local hospital sounds identical to mine. It's so sad that they're not more on the ball with better service. Thank God you got to go home and they didn't have to keep you there. Glad you're doing better too. Hugs 💗💗💗
I think they are understaffed
Cindy, I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I’d like to suggest that you follow up with a cardiologist. I have a history of heart issues, and I’ve always “passed” my EKGs, even in the midst of a heart attack. Please take care. 💕 P.S. I like your rules about easy-open packaging!!
So glad you are ok. I totally agree with your thoughts about the hospital. It is just another day for them but it is a scary time for the patient and they need to take a moment to let you know what the plan of action/treatment will be. I have been in the ER with my elderly parents and literally had to go track someone down to find out what was going on. They leave you for hours in a room with no communication for far too long.
That’s it…. They leave you alone not knowing what to expect
Funny. Stuff like that has happened any time I have been to the ER. Glad you are ok.
Glad you got checked out, Cindy, & that you are okay!
My husband had a major heart attack 3 months ago. Nonsmoker, slim, with a clean bill of health the previous month. If he had waited a few more minutes before calling 911, he wouldn't have survived. He was airlifted to the hospital for a triple bypass. I'm thankful they saved his life but the after care in the hospital (17 days) was atrocious. Dirty hospital and short staffed. Thankful you're okay.❤❤❤❤
Short staffed is the problem. And why? So the CEOs can claim a huge bonus??
I’m glad you are doing well,❤ I’m like the music, good luck and stay healthy Cindy 🌺🌺🌺
So glad all is well with you Cindy!
Cindy-Thank you for going to ER. I’m so thankful you are OK. Unfortunately, the services now at almost all ERs, is poor. They are understaffed to the point of time is used for critical, urgent care, and actively dying people. Manners are no longer practiced. The shifts most nurses work are double shifts, and they are on auto-pilot. But you are absolutely right about you have every right to be informed of your status and being kept up-to-date. I’m sorry you were treated the way you were. It’s not asking too much to know the doctor’s name, and what the treatment plan for you is. But, things in the ER have changed and no improvement is expected anytime soon. Still go to the ER when something feels different and you are having chest pain. At our age, we have no choice.
I will support you for President, as I totally agree with your policies. Love the extensions. Your hair is always gorgeous. I loved your video today. Thanks for getting me out of the house and taking me shopping. I enjoyed it. Hugs from Mare in Texas. ❤
