This is terrible. A terminal patient dies comfortably, and family sues him. Disgusting. Retired RN here.
It wasn't just one patient. It was 14. He was administering way outside of guidelines and norms.
@@psychedforlife7176honestly, I applaud him, as long as it was only to terminal patients or people who are truly ready to leave this world (like in Switzerland... You have to go through mental health evaluations and everything to ensure you're in a conscious and an uninebriated mind, and several other qualifications before they agree to do it). Honestly... I've seen too many people suffer for far too long. As someone with a couple of pretty severe chronic illnesses (the main being an ultra rare disease that has nearly killed me on multiple occasions, called aHUS), and I know that if I go back on dialysis... I'm not gonna make it. And that time **will come**. And I hope that if I'm ever ready to be done and close that painful book, that I can find someone willing to help me do it with dignity.
@@psychedforlife7176 There are no guidelines for intractable pain for a terminal disease other than to make the dying person so comfortable that they do not exhibit signs of pain. Would you like being turned when you are in the most horrible pain of your life that although you have been given a dose of pain medication within the “dosage guidelines” causes you to cry and scream? Is that right? Is that compassion? Medicine is not like cooking. One dose does not fit all. This Dr. did what he had to do for his patients to have as pain free death as possible. It’s uninformed opinions that harm all healthcare practitioners but traumatize patients and their families the most.
@@psychedforlife7176But they were terminal patients being given the most needed medication so they die with no suffering or very little pain at their end. I don’t understand the whole story, so I’ll look it up.
I’m a 70 yr old retired RN. When I became a nurse in 1974 patients didn’t suffer who had terminal illnesses like cancer. If they were in pain they were started on oral meds if appropriate. If pain was too strong they were given injections usually morphine every two hours. If they were still moaning and uncomfortable they were given Thorazine injections on the off hour until they died. No one was charged with murder because it was compassionate care. Families were grateful the people they loved didn’t suffer days on end. I don’t know what’s happened in this country where over time it’s a crime to let someone without any hope of recovery who is in horrendous pain to get as much medicine as they need to have as peaceful a death as possible. We can do it for our pets who we love as family but not for our human family. So shameful.
This is very close to how my dad's death played out...I am Canadian.
My Grandfather died in 1974.
My Parents explained to us that they HAD TO give him the shots, because he was drowning in his own fluid, and Dr's would not let him suffer that.
When Dr's and Nurses, CARED, and were more concerned for their patients and their families, than anything else.
I've only read a few comments, but I'm guessing this man gave someone meds or did something to help someone dying from a terminal illness and was crucified for it, causing him to develop PTSD, eventually giving up his medical license.
I see comments from nurses comparing how terminally ill patients and their pain are treated today compared to the past, meaning today, meds are being withheld and the medical community is allowing people to suffer unnecessary. There is no good reason for this when there is no chance for survival. Who in their right mind wants anyone to suffer pain, unless you're a sadist? In today's world, no one should have to endure & suffer extreme pain. Why are they being allowed to now?
Perfectly said. Couldn’t agree more ❤
I’m an Australian 51 , I know this was the norm in the past. No one was charged or questioned. it was patient request ❤
I was a Vet Tech for 9 years before I became a Nurse. We as a society treat our pet's death more compassionately and humanely than other humans.
I’m so sorry
I say this all the time. 💔
Our pets are our kids so hush with that comment. I help people too what do you do?
Agreed , my brothers best friend died slowly of brain cancer. How is it humane when we put down animals that are suffering but we won't allow humans or their families ( if they are incapable of deciding) the same dignity. My granpa died slowly too and he NEVER wanted that. And my mom does home Healthcare she takes care of residents and she has blatantly told me she will never allow herself to die like that, like how she sees those people die or how her father died. I've learned also that maybe my cousins husband wasn't so selfish. He killed himself while in kidney failure. There was no return for him. When I was young I thought he was selfish, but now that I'm older I see he spared his family alot of slow suffering, watching him continue to whither away. But because of the screwed up system I know that if my mom ever feels like she is dieing slowly she will self cancel. So to the medical world, thanks alot for forcing the surviving family members to have to go through that because you won't allow people to have a dignified death.
. This comment has nothing to do with the title. However, I want to make an analogy. I've said that when the Republicans start talking about, they need to see more BIRTHS. HOWEVER, like anybodycanart states HER CATS ARE HER CHILDREN. If you are a white woman, me being a black female understands your desire to raise felines instead of human babies ( much more responsibilities, huh?) I'm just saying 🤷 😮
I had a friend who did not want her father to have narcotic pain meds at end stage cancer because he might get addicted. Finally, someone had to tell her he hasn’t got enough time to get addicted to anything.
only takes a few days to become addicted… but honestly, i wished the exact opposite for my dying father.. i didn’t want him to be in pain. at a certain point, it’s not about you. and that point is when your father is dying from end stage cancer.. good lord..
@@jillybeangamingA few days? Lol! Okay Doc.
To let the sick suffer for such a mediocre reason is insanity
Hard to believe there are some people that don't understand when you're dying, addiction isn't important....but there are!!!
@@sissyparker2525right you are AT THE END OF LIFE!!!! What about that do these people not understand???? By then addiction is the last thing to worry about.
If he was found not guilty then they need to give him his job back
Plus all the money he lost, plus compensation, plus further costs for all the defamation!
He probably can't do the job anymore, because of the ptsd, if he can't even tie his shoes. Sad! Maybe compensation and a job in medical consultation.
He can make babies lol 😂😂😂😂
@monica4.070 he can become a professor at a university and teach any course pertaining to medical education.
@@Wondorawoman Yes, that would be good for him!
Some of you commenting are just plain simple. I know a nurse who worked directly with him. She said he's a fantastic doctor, and what he did was not wrong, and within policy. Not only was it within policy, it helped his patients die peacefully and painlessly. All of his patients were dying, and not only dying, they were in extreme pain. Not one of them had a chance of survival. I would hope that if I were dying and in extreme pain (or someone in my family or one of my friends), I would be shown the same mercy. It's amazing how many people just run their mouths and know nothing. He was acquitted for a reason. This world is so broken.
Everything you said is true but he used an extreme amount of drugs. Way more than necessary to make the patients comfortable. That’s what got him in trouble. I would love to know why.
Well said!
@@teresamoore9231I would say because it takes an extreme amount of pain medication to rid patients of pain. My husband died of lung cancer. I believe it was the pain meds that killed him before the cancer. But he transitioned peacefully.
Was it his decision or the decision of the family?
That’s NOT his decision at the end of the day tho, Despite formalities, personal feelings, etc. You do NOT get to play God and decide when someone’s time is Simply bc you’re a “Doctor” Lol! And you speak as if nurses had some advantage to knowing if it was true or not Simply bc you’re a nurse smdh 🙄 Well, if it was so “Ethical and Not Wrong” why Hide it, Lie about it, Steal the choice from the patient and their loved ones, And then flat out Deny it?!? Smh… When y’all find out, Let me know Lol! 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤥🤷🏻♀️🤮 Now we’re supposed to just feel bad for their situation?? The wife and kids maybe, but him? Not one iota! *#ISaidWtfISaid*
Please Americans look after this sympathetic doctor whom treated his gravely ill patients with compassion help his family in need this is outrageous the way he has been treated Show this good Doctor kindness and respect
Hospital I worked at for 20 years threw me out like garbage after a series of mini strokes and AFIB
New boss refused accommodations.
My award for Service Above Self for getting insurances to pay what is covered, and helped develop better processes. There's more.
Almost all my evaluations were Exceeds Expectations.
New boss had never worked in a hospital.
He kept denying my return until it forced early medical retirement.
No Healthcare Benefits, have exhausted my retirement trying to keep on top of everything.
Denied SSDI because I flew to California to recover with my mom a retired Nurse.
Our income dropped significantly. If we didn't own our house outright we would probably be on the street.
This is how loyal, hard working employees get treated.
I completely sympathize with this family.
Biggest mistake people make is thinking that they will be rewarded for loyalty and good work.
I’m happy it worked out beyond ur expectations 💙🌎
I was told people like me get "weeded out." People who speak up about medical abuse & tryanny. I am weeded out that is for sure & happy to be wildly naturally growing & speaking against! After I quit HR was fired for fraud, no jail time, no harsh punishment. Hospital administrator just moved to a different small hospital he could exploit. Oh I could say so much & have, but it doesn't matter.
@@lauravastag8587what the hell arr you talking about? Did you not understand what the person said?
@@lauravastag8587 Happy it worked out! You need to reread this.
He had his license revoked, but we hear stories of medical professionals being blatantly incompetent and going on with no repercussions. Wtf?
His license was revoked because the state medical board, including physicians who are peers in the same specialty as this guy, Investigated and determined that he acted outside of the ethical guidelines of the State medical practice Act and failed to Deliver treatment in a manner that was acceptable to the medical professionals who judged him administratively. Indeed, there are plenty of incompetent medical providers who act unethically, who should have their licenses sanctioned, suspended, or even revoked. This guy is one of them. You don't get to make up your own rules of how to practice medicine. There are lots of different ways that he could have accomplished the goal of providing comfort care that would have been appropriate. The way he did it violated the standards of his profession.
Agreed…
I would think that he should get his license back since he was found innocent of the charges. Maybe he should be able to sue the prosecutor for ruining his life
I believe he should sue!!!
@@zyrosqrd2552geez ya wrote this long paragraph and didn’t bother to mention what the heck he actually did. Thanks.
I watched the entire court case. I was so relieved that he was found not guilty. This is devastatingly sad news.
But yet his life was ruined
Did he get any compensation or sue for the money he lost etc. Poor family man
Thank goodness they have family that can house them.
Honestly, that was my only thought on this. Without a family with enough money, they'd be in a shelter or on the street!
I hope if I’m at the obvious end of my life that I will have a doctor like him to help me with my pain! ❤
My grandma told me, "kill me" while she was in the hospital dying (cancer). A month later, she was on home hospice - I started the morphine after she had been home a week, continuing to suffer. It was the first day in over a month she could finally rest pain-free. She was gone within 16 hours of starting morphine. I have no regrets.
❤
♥️
❤❤❤
❤
I did the same for my dad who came home from a nursing home on hospice after an emergency neurosurgery paralyzed him from the waist down. Poor man was miserable!! I have zero regrets!
I don't understand why the state revoked his medical license a week after he was found NOT guilty.
Lord make the wrong that was done to this man right
Didn't they say he surrendered it?
@@newcreation1221that’s what I heard.
Well, i read this is what they thought he did...
On October 25, 2018, Mount Carmel received their first formal report of Husel's conduct. It was not investigated seriously until November 19, 2018, when they broadened their investigation, noting the death of Rebecca Walls and an abnormally high dosage of fentanyl. One day later, another patient of Husel's named Melissa Penix had been declared deceased after a high dosage; Husel was immediately removed from patient-care duties on November 21, 2018, before being fired on December 5, 2018, after he had been held under suspicion for poisoning patients. Mount Carmel then contacted the State Medical Board of Ohio, meeting with the Franklin County prosecutor on the same day. Informing the State of Ohio Board of Nursing, Ohio state police became involved with the case not long thereafter on January 15, 2019. After having his license suspended and being charged with 25 counts of murder, Husel turned himself in to authorities on June 5, 2019. A judge later agreed to dismiss 11 of the murder counts.
He surrendered his license because no one would hire him after those charges. I wouldn't want to be his patient. I feel bad for his family.
AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!! GIVE THIS MAN HIS LIFE BACK!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?!! 🤬
What's wrong with this country is that it wants to see blood. It wants to see blood, then it wants to condemn the one who may or may not have "drawn" the blood, so-to-speak and call _that person_ a monster. This country does not care about one's innocence. As long as this country gets to see blood, it's happy. As long as this country gets to accuse others, it's happy. As long as this country can ruin someone's life, and the life of their family, it's happy. *_THAT_* is what's wrong with this country.
Give the 34 victims their lives back, smh
There is so very much wrong with this country
@@EmunahFLlike with Trump?

I watched his trial and I truly supported his side from day one, because my mom suffered for 3 days and my dad cried in pain with pancreatic cancer. Its when people want their 15 mins of fame that they bring cowboy charges against good people. I pray for this family and wish them a better life.
The issue is that people are so ready to give people 15 mins of fame for being "tough". Look at how many sherifs are doing social media everyday.
It does not mean he didn't do it
What does 15 minutes of fame have anything to do with it.
So you saying that he was charged for 14 charges.
So what about the family who's family members died you don't care about that.
So they are lying but he's not.
Would you feel the same way if you're a relative died.
Than can't tie his shoes that's just something he's made up.
To get sympathy.
There is nothing wrong with that man.
@@annafiorentin7120they were terminally ill!
@@Gioli565
So that makes it right.
He was found NOT GUILTY. But people still judge him!
He was Mt Carmels scapegoat!
@Christy exactly, right
I just have to say this. I was on percocets for 20 years, and I'm not talking about low ones like 10mgs. I passed out in my home and broke broke, fractured and bruised ribs, and dislocated my left hip. I had a kidney infection that went septic and didn't know it. I thought it was just the cold and rain making my back hurt.
Then the EMT 's gave me 2mgs of fentanyl for pain and it worked for my until we got to the ER, after them moving me, checking vitals and CT scans. They gave me 6mgs of fentanyl. I lost 2 freaking days. P.S. I also weighted 400lbs then. I was used to high doses of opiates and fentanyl killed my butt.
So I can't feel sorry for someone who killed people using a drug. He should've gotten the same as the dealer who get caught after someone dies from using their dope. He should be in prison for several murder charges. He gave patients 600mgs and more.
Now in my medical records there is DO NOT USE FENTANYL. He will be forever known as Dr. Death.
@@MvFwd🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
What’s this about
I feel very bad about how they treated Dr. Husel. I watched his trial and couldn't believe the charges against him. Thank you for exposing injustice. I hope it will make a difference for him.
When it comes to this particular situation of dying with no hope of recovery, we treat animals with more decency and respect than humans. WTF, He was acquitted for a reason people.
I am an 11 year cancer patient who owes ANY quality of life to my palliative care doctors who were brave enough to stand up for their patients.
You owe your life to The Most High
I had a childhood friend who belonged to a family of 12 kids. They had a bedroom where all the kids slept in bunk beds. The first floor was the dining room. The kitchen and bathroom was outside covered with loose GI sheets. The whole family were tall as well and the boys heads practically touched the low ceiling. I did a sleepover a couple of times where my friend and I shared a bed. All the kids came in for dinner after kissing their mom. Dinner was a fried egg and rice each. Nobody complained and we were all happy. They became business entrepreneurs, a cop, a runway model, landowners… One did commit misdemeanours but became a community organizer. To this day, they treat me like family and will protect me and my family like their own.
We had a judge in Orange County California who bore 15 children. I worked with one of her daughters for a time…
I knew a similar family. There were and still are many, many families who are living "close".
WHAT IS THE BEGINNING OF THEIR NIGHTMARE. I NEED TO KNOW THE WHOLE STORY ‼️
It's one thing if you grew up in it and you're used to it is another thing if your whole life got turned upside down these situations are not the same.
You must have had great childhood memories 😊
This sounds like a complete disgrace!! After he was found not guilty his license should have been re established, since it was only suspended I assume until the case was determined. He’s being punished even though it has been legally established he hasn’t committed a crime, is a travesty. He’s still being treated like he’s guilty.
It’s called guilty upon suspicion. And being found innocent in the eyes of the law doesn’t mean innocent in the court of public opinion
@sharronbrennon899 if he's innocent, then he's INNOCENT‼️‼️‼️
Kr... I completely agree, this is absolutely bull crap! How *_dare they_* ruin his life after he was found *_not guilty!_*
He surrendered his own medical license. I assume with his neurological problems and PTSD, he is fearful to go back into a situation that almost cost him his freedom.
Yeah, that’s the same thing I was thinking… If he was acquitted, that means he didn’t do it, right? So why did he lose everything? We don’t lose things just because of suspicions do we? That would be weird
That's so heartbreaking.
I worked as a veterinary technician for 10 years and participated in countless euthanasias on a daily basis. It is unthinkable that a doctor would be charged with murder and stripped of his medical license for helping terminally ill patients die with dignity before succumbing to agonizing pain & suffering. It’s insanity.
He should have his medical license given back to him. Further more the people accusing him along with the state needs to be sued for everything they have lost and any future physical expenditures.
It’s different when you surrender the license
What was he accused of in the first place?
The issue now is can he practice as a physician given his current state?
William Scott Husel is an American intensive/critical care physician who was charged (and later acquitted with 14 counts of murder relating to the deaths of multiple patients from his care of terminally ill patients at Mount Carmel West and St. Ann's Hospitals in Columbus, Ohio. The prosecution in this case argued that Dr. Husel hastened the death of terminally ill patients. He turned himself in on June 5, 2019. After an extensive trial, Husel was found not guilty on all counts on April 20, 2022.
@@kellygirl912 That was so kind of him to treat his patients with enough medication they didn’t suffer while dying.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING AND THEY RUINED HIS LIFE!!! 🤬
Meanwhile forcing people to inhumanely suffer
he needs to sue the state for this. i am sure there is someone that will help him, this is not ok
Just like he RUINED HIS PATIENTS LIVES!!!!!
You should sue them for falsely accusing you and your husband can get the medical help he needs.
He was not fasley accused he wrote orders for leathal doses of fentnal for patients. He should have gone to jail and he didnt didnt give up his license, they were revolked because he refused to cooperate with the medical boards investigation.

My sister’s RN mother-in-law chose ZERO cancer treatment after witnessing the suffering of her patients in the late stages of cancer. This doctor’s empathy and compassion towards his patients should have awarded him a gold metal, not an arrest, years of trial and horrible mental and physical health issues. Despicable.
My grandma was 98 years old with double pneumonia and cancer, down to 80 lbs. but the doctor didn't want to "over medicate" her just in case there was "a chance ". We changed doctors and she died peacefully 24 hours later.
She had a family who loved her so much💖
The 1st doctor was gonna run all kinds of tests and do procedures to drive up the cost..
Your grandma probably didn’t run out of money yet. It’s funny how that seems to work. The minute the money runs out then it’s time to pull the plug.
@@croswellianprincess3590so true 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that's ALL HOSPITAL BUSINESS CARES ABOUT 😢GOD PROTECT US 🙏
@@croswellianprincess3590Or many pull the plug prematurely, so that the money doesn't get used up, but instead is left for the family
My father was quietly helped to slip away after his last pain medication. I always wish I could have helped him go sooner 😢😢🌈 .He slipped away in his sleep with his family around. Miss you, Dad, always till we meet again ♥️
No one seems to understand the suffering until they experience pain themselves.

Watching my mother die from pancreatic cancer was the most horrific thing I've ever seen!!!
-the screaming from pain, the hallucinations -she didn't even know who I was anymore!!
I begged them to please try and put her out of her misery somehow..
I couldn't believe I was saying those words because it sounded like I wanted to put my mother down, but the truth is I've never seen her whine even when she had her knee replacement!!
She never took drugs -she didn't drink, she didn't smoke, and she didn't swear.
Watching The Suffering she has gone through because of cancer it's something I could have never dreamed could be so horrific!!
It has traumatized me for life!

This is horrible what our government can do to a person through lawfare
That's because our law in law systems is criminal
"Lawfare" I dig this!
The fact that he surrendered his medical license is so unfair.
Agreed! The poor man, it looks like he had a physical nervous breakdown over this situation! His body just couldn't take the stress... I'm sure it's very difficult making sense of it all when he knows he was acting in good faith and only wanted to do the best for his patients. I hope he wins his lawsuit!! He was at the start of his career after dedicating so much of his life to this pursuit... that is DECADES of lost wages. I hope that if there were any nefarious people involved in this that they would get what's coming to them ASAP! To bear false witness is a very serious sin! It breaks one of God's Ten Commandments and is an evil thing to do! I pray Dr. Husel wins millions in his lawsuit!!

It’s sad what this justice system does to some of us without any real understanding. As someone who experienced something similar, you still have a very marketable skill, as soon as you get better, get back out there as a consultant, a contractor, a private med school tutor, a firm who looks over records for 2nd opinions, etc…., I wish you and your family the best Dr. Husel!
Makes sense to me. U don't have a pot to piss in . . . yet you're "growing your family"
he surrendered his license-
he would need to go through that process again- which is not easy……
@@tthom2459bro i said the same thing- you got 4 kids 2 adults crammed into one room and your broke- “hey you wanna have another kid!” like bruh it’s called a condom, birth control etc - like i don’t understand people who knowingly bring children into the world without a pot to piss in, just irresponsible.
@@alexanderthegreatzabaras7492it is unfair and judgmental to criticize people like this when looking in from the outside as a total and utter stranger
The thing is - even though he wasn't found guilty... the only way he can survive is by doing jobs "way below" what he spent his life training to do.
If i was dying, in my last days and in a lot of pain, i would beg for a doctor like this man, we even help animals out of their pain , yet not people, bravo to this doctor, your a really good man,
They need to give him his license back and he needs to sue
He can't; watch his hands.
He cant work due to his diagnosis issues as a result.....shame. guess he could do consult work maybe?
He doesn’t need to practice until he’s better. Maybe consulting or something, but even that could have damaging effects to his health. It’s very sad, but unfortunately, these things happen and how awesome is it that they have the parents to lean on and have a place to live. That’s such a blessing.
But he has severe ptsd and the stress of becoming a Dr. again wouldnt be a good thing for him. So they probably wouldnt give him his licenseback
He should law suit them for taking his livelihood away and causing his medical issues. He will win a huge amount
I did hospice care for 25 plus years and 4 time cancer survivor. Yeah I know its a miracle. All 4 times were caught early and treated. WTF is wrong with people who will sue for making a dying persons death as easy as possible for them?
My Mom died in agony from cancer even with pain meds. I could not imagine prolonger her life even longer knowing nothing could be done.
Only a greedy ass hateful demented person would sue a doctor for doing what is best for his patient.
Give him his license back and hope to God he gets healthier.
Watched my mom die of cancer as well. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. My mom was my best friend, but I would have gladly ended her suffering if it was legal. Watching her in pain and just waiting to die was awful. If I could've done something to end her life quicker, I would have. I miss her every day and it's brutal having my last memories of her be ones full of her pain and suffering. Glad to hear you beat cancer 4 times. I pray you never go through that again. Bless you!
I agree.
My mom died from cancer as well, the last words she spoke was "pain please" I would hope that someone would be compassionate enough to help some patient to die peacefully with grace I pray for him and the people he helped.
Sounds to me like at this point he wouldn’t be able to practice anyway with the way he is struggling. Praying he overcomes with God’s help. 🙏
My dad died from a horrible case of medical malpractice at age 83. Because of his age there was basically no recourse. Hospitals can and do kill old people.
I’m so sorry they are going through that… God will give them the strength in every way to keep going and will provide for them ♥️💯

Nah he was one of the few good drs out here and hes the systems scape goat smh
Sue the justice system for negligence
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sure….. that’s how it works😊
Must be New York or some lefty state .
Yes we saw how much they stood by normal people in the past 4 years after the medical tyranny
He's suing the hospital and i hope he wins some money.
My dad had terminal cancer. He wasn’t in a medical center, this was at home. He was given enough medication to keep him comfortable and enough medication to remove himself from the pain permanently. His death certificate doesn’t say suicide, it says cancer. I hope the media agency responsible for helping the public convict this man before a trial is proud of themselves.
I knew someone who died from cancer in agonizing pain. Her organs shut down one by one and doctors refused to give her sufficient pain medication because she was dying rapidly and they didn't see a point in wasting medication on someone who would be dead in a week. Do you know how long a week is when you're struggling through the pain of organ failure?
GIVE HIM BACK HIS LIFE.
I know that folks who have horrible disease processes and end up on hospice, will end up taking large dosages of pain medicine, as their bodies build up tolerances to these pain meds. Some take an ungodly amount, in order to cut their pain. I watched my father and grandmother die from cancer and it was awful. As a nurse myself, I’ve seen patients beg to have their pain relieved. He may have just been keeping them comfortable until the inevitable. May those people RIP. 😢
Bless you for kindness & helping people.❤
RIP TO YOUR LOVED ONE SADLY I WAS A CANCER PATIENT I was stage 3.4 ovarian cervical patien I would beg for my meds also to not feel the cancer killing me sometimes the docs don't wvwn want to help u vegas have some of the worse doctors smh
It's so true. Both my parents died of cancer. I was extremely painful. My father had bone cancer. He would cry all the time. It was heartbreaking. He was a cop once. But my mother was super Catholic and would say all the time Jesus suffered too. I pray for this family.
Same, my mom had a morphine drip with a button she could press, when she was no longer cognitive enough to press it herself, i made sure i did it at the same frequency she was doing it for herself. I was her medical POA and had to make the decision to stop all treatments for her. Against her husbands wishes, and my relatives wishes, but she made me her POA for a reason because she knew, as much as i loved her that o wouldn't put her through BS just for my own selfish reasons. After she passed away and being called a murderer, etc by my family, i no longer talk to any of them. They wanted her alive for their own selfish reasons, for the checks that she was getting and pain pills she was receiving before o realized they were stealing and she wasn't getting, hence the drip.. i can only empathize a small amount with what he's been put through. He should've gotten his license back and a lawsuit for loss of wages, etc.. this is disgusting, yet big pharma gets away with how many millions of people who are still opioid addicts or have died because they were pushing oxycodone like skittles until the DEA stepped in and forced them to stop? Why hasn't the owners and operators of those company been put on trial for the thousands pf lives lost and others completely destroyed?
@@reneecaballero9624 Your pain is palpable and I’m sorry that there are people in the world like this. You’re absolutely right about your Mother’s choice. I have 4 children and thought long and hard about choosing mine. You were a blessing for your Mom and stay fast to that. A huge hug to you for losing your Mother but doing what was best for her. 💞
That is horrible. He should never have been charged.
Need the full story!
People like me suffer EVERY SINGLE DAY! This man was helping people not suffer before they passed!! His license should be reinstated! The people that Revoked it are the “evil” ones!
I’m sorry you are one suffering from the Oxy train rec of greed. I hope in time the pendulum will swing back and folks will get the relief they need and deserve. Please take care and remember you’re important to those who love you. Stay with them.
Evil or not, the way this man is claiming to be right now he shouldn't be practicing medicine in his current state.
OMG Give him back his license! This man was put to the ringer, beautiful and deserves better.
He is having a difficult time tying his shoes now, he doesn't need to be anyone's doctor.
Ehhh. He’s damaged now. He need not have it back yet. Get him healed first then talk about it.
Praying for break through for this family.
So my question would be why is not EVERY Governor, DA, Mayor, the President the Attorney General not on trial for the 100,000-150,000 deaths in the US every year from the same thing? They should ALL share the blame for not doing anything to stop it.
Prayers for this family.
My son had terminal cancer & a friend had the same cancer. Both were given the means to be as pain free as possible at the end.
After watching my son slowly die from cancer that confined him to a bed - I know I was blessed with being able to be with him during his last year but it was difficult and he was ready to go - I have a different way of looking at life.
Would rather die with dignity than having to suffer for an extended amount of time that is just prolonging the inevitable.
They need to start a go fund me, I bet people would donate. This would be a great cause
I feel for this family. It's obvious he was helping patients in their end stage of life. Many people forget about Hospice care if they have the appropriate diagnosis. Please consider it as soon as possible. Most people wish they had started w Hospice much sooner than later. Hospice care puts patients' comfort and quality of life at the top. It can help caregivers cope w what's happening to their loved one. It helps families balance out their changing circumstances. So many family members are concerned about their loved one becoming addicted if medications are used. Hospice can help guide their care appropriately and carefully. People should not have to die in pain or go to jail to die w dignity. It's not right when pets are given more empathetic care than your Grandma.
Praying for his healing 🙏❤️
Oh what a Tragedy!! I'm so heartbroken for you and your family. I will pray for all of you ❤❤❤❤
So sorry I cam only pray things will get better for you.
Prayers fot for this beautiful Family
Thank you Sir for helping patients
His license should have NEVER been revoked!! This is a man who cares!! Who doesn’t want to sit and watch someone suffer in the worst indescribable pain imaginable as they leave this place! May God Bless him.
WHERE CAN WE GET THE ENTIRE STORY PLEASE,!!???.
Same with me. I'm a CMA. I was pulled over for backing up too fast. Weeks later, i saw the cop who gave me the ticket. He asked me how old my daughter was. Days later, police came to my home with a new charge of "child abuse". The charge was dropped, but here i am stuck without a job due to this charge on my background. My family and i must suffer from the idiocy of the police. What can i do? Pay an attorney to expunged my record. I'm supposed to pay an attorney for the ignorance of the police who write tickets for whatever they want. I've been so depressed and embarrassed, i do not leave my home unless it's absolutely necessary. I have kids who are suffering from it. How can i support us? We have to pay for the ignorance of the police. HELP
What can we do to help
I have lupus but now live in Australia. I must have had it for years in the US, but now thanks to the US, my local Australian docs can no longer prescribe pain meds as they see fit.
I have history of lots of other extremely painful autoimmune diseases.
My doctors here used to be able to prescribe more than adequate pain meds of a variety of that made it possible for me to work, write, take care of my family and house and volunteer in the community. BUT...
Because of pressure by the US DEA, our federal drugs management has been FORCED to make doctors prescribe fewer pain meds per month, per three months, and six months. The US GOV shouldn't have jurisdiction over the AUSTRALIAN GOV enough to force doctors here to change their patients intake of meds.
In the US, my docs wouldn't prescribe pain meds beyond Advil and Tylenol but in such doses, my kidneys became extremely damaged.
Even tho I'm a born American, I really am beginning to resent the ways the US bullies its partners around.
That's right. Read "Chasing the Scream" to get the full history of how the US INTENTIONALLY outlawed the compassionate policies of the medical industry to cause people the most suffering and then forced it worldwide. It is disgusting and yes, the US is the biggest bully on the planet.
As someone who is in a uber-similar boat- several autoimmunes,chronic pain patient since late 1990's. DEA is only interested in maintaining the DEA. They grossly manipulated data from the CDC and in 2012- GUIDELINES FOR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS- Yet the unintended consequence was INSURANCE and states
Set hard limits for EVERYONE!
INCREASING THE SUFFERING- suicides? They rose...
Finally the facts are getting out there and the DEA is being taken to task for their falsehoods. MME has been declared >zed#
I'm from a family of Veterans, super Conservative, and can't stand the U.S. of 1sræl anymore. I had to pretend to be a ××××ie to get my pain in check.
Just look up the symptoms and pretend to have them. One is yawning. They give those people PLENTY even though their only pain is wanting meds.
The way the US government bullies people around. The people aren't doing this, it's the elite who put themselves above us all. You think we like it anymore?
@@TradBarbie. You just had to throw them in, huh. Instantly disqualifies your comments
Prayers for you and family ❤
Abhorrent! They should sue the city!
America is so broken. And I can see this from the uk. Make your country great again and do better America!!
The evil democratic party hates this country founded by Christians. They hate us. They got away with stealing the election. It is the TRUTH. We are appalled by this . Noone can oust the deranged weirdos holding office. Trump was/ is right about EVERYTHING. It's the end if they steal it again or . .....!
Please pray for us. As I will pray for the world. 😭❤️
Doesn't the NHS condemn people to death? Yall ain't great
There's too much corruption here fueled by greed, power and control.
They deleted my reply to you. Censoring groods in high places.
There are millions of people around the world who live in small, cramped places, barely able to survive. Thankfully they get food stamps, medical care, family support. He needs to get help, fight and his license back
That's true. Maybe the wife can go back to school to get a degree to help out. I have a friend whose husband lost his job. They were almost homeless with 2 kids.
And she had another baby. That poor man looks broken. His life was changed forever. I don’t think he could practice again, his health is not good at all!
@@susant1323this is exactly why I don’t like the idea of one income households. You simply DO NOT know what life will bring. Had she had any certifiable skills, she’d be able to work much more than some low minimum wage job. But of course no one was prepared for this curveball in life. But this is why I always say, everyone should have a skill, have some experience under their belt. Then if you want to be a stay at home parent while the kids are young, that’s fine, at least you know you have some skills to fall back on.
As someone who suffers from PTSD and sever depression my heart goes out to him. This is sad and wrong.
HES HAD A MASSIVE NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
I don’t know case much but as a hospice nurse I will share this… treating the dying is an expertise . I say that cause I’m only a registered nurse but I spent a lot of my time educating doctors… yes you heard right a nurse educating doctors. Doctors are trained to save lives so when they are put in a position where someone is dying a painful agonizing death they don’t really know what to do with that and the amount of ignorance in death and dying is astounding! Because dying just like birth is such a specialty it requires people to be educated and drs are really bad at being educated especially if it’s someone below them but once in a while you get a very emotionally intelligent and humble dr that actually wants to learn and then bam actual change and growth occurs and you have patients and families benefiting from it ! If more hospitals and facilities welcomed hospice as a specialty and were open to education and stop treating it like it’s a bad word stuff like this wouldn’t happen!
As a Hospice nurse, I would assume that you are in the practice of appropriately administering morphine, Benzo's , And other such meds, within the parameters of medical guidelines of palliative care. How many times have you administered 100 mg of morphine In one iv push? If your answer is more than 0, You have violated you're ethics as a nurse. This is about practicing within the bounds Of professional standards, and you of all people should know that there are guidelines for how to administer comfort care, and palliative care specialists as well as hospice nurses Within their team who do teach doctors how to do it. Did you ever teach a Doctor that it's appropriate to order 1000 μg of fentanyl in one shot? I sure AF hope not.
@@zyrosqrd2552 aha. You’re over here now, too. Please don’t treat dying patients. Please give them to other doctors. You sound like an absolute nightmare. These. Patients. Are. Dying. If they are symptomatic, give them what they need. May someone have that grace on you if you need it.
@@zyrosqrd2552That's hilarious considering the government itself is bringing in fentanyl and other illegal drugs both for profit and to depopulate actual healthy people who would otherwise have futures.
@zyrosqrd2552 are you an actual hospice nurse? Because you don't appear to know anything.
My best friends brother was a life long drug addict when he got cancer. I was giving him 100mg of IV morphine an hour in the hospital. At home on hospice he was getting over 300mg per hour in an IV drip. He was still conscious and in pain. You titrate the morphine to the patient's needs.
If you're not maybe you have policies that need updating.
@@pmc2999 sweetie, how about you educate yourself on this case? These were NOT Hospice patients that this doctor ordered fatal doses of fentanyl on, they were ICU patients, and he took it upon himself to order life- ending opioid doses IV push WITHOUT any discussion with the patients or their families! He decided when they would die, and it was because of patient family members complaints that he was indicted and lost his license. Tell me that is justifiable. Numerous ICU RN's and Pharmacists were also fired and faced sanctions on their licenses for following his orders to push 1000 micrograms of fentanyl on opiate- naive patients. I've been prescribing pain treatment for hospital patients for over 30 years, dear, and work closely with all nurses. Palliative care specialists who have reviewed advanced directives with POA's for patients accepted into hospice for end of life care under Medicare guidelines have ability to advance and individualize doses of any comfort care treatment. NOT ICU doctors who appoint themselves as executioners without regard for whether patients have advanced directives. Maybe you should read the full details on what this intensivist (NOT palliative care doctor) did and why he lost his license before accusing others of 'not knowing anything". I've treated tens of thousands of patients, and my moral obligation is to abide by the wishes of the patient and their appointed Medical POA's, not to make up my own rules. Maybe you're the one who doesn't know anything about what you are commenting on, darling. Lots of love to you for the work that you do, and hopefully you are ethically abiding by medical and nursing practice acts of the state that licensed you. Do some homework, why dontcha??
I know i was accused of a crime i did not comited i lost my nursing license i had after tgat 1 bedtom for 3 kids and my self i skiped meals to feed them these stupid department of unjustice is awful
Anybody who does this to another person for no reason should spend the remainder of their life in prison!
I do Pray this family gets Justice, keep speaking up
They did this dr a disservice it was horrible karma is a bitch hope it gets all who ruined this man and family. 😢😢🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why do I think this is funny???😅😅😅
He should be able to get social security disability and a check for every one of these children plus his wife.
Yes, exactly...
If he can't work due to PTSD and they are living like this, why did they decide to have another child they can't take care of? Having another child in the midst of all this turmoil is not good for the child or them.
We have no idea about their circumstances regarding the baby. No birth control is 100% effective, other than abstinence. Also , we don’t know if his physical and mental problems began before or after the pregnancy.
My mother died in 78 of bone cancer. We had to fight like crazy to get her Bromptons Cocktail, a mix of opioids. She basically starved to death in the end, looking like a concentration camp victim. Before she stopped talking she begged me to find some street drugs that would kill her. But the good hospital kept her alive as long as possible, until they had wrung every ounce of suffering from her that they could. Compassionate care, my *ss!
Lord please protect your children. These are tough times but family and health is what matters. God bless them.
My heart goes out to this precious family ♥️🫶🏽♥️
💔😭🙏
I hope a good attorney can be found and does a lawsuit big enough to compensate them what a nightmare.
God bless you Dr Husel and God bless your family 🙏🙏🙏
As a nurse I had a very elderly man who had no chance of recovery. He had morphine scheduled every 4 hours not just when needed because the family did not want him to suffer. They were told , because I was there when the physician told them it could depress his breathing. They just wanted him comfortable. I checked his vitals and they were very low. The entire family, literally was sleeping on a cot, in chairs and on the floor against the wall. I woke his daughter up and advised if I gave that dose of medication he would probably peacefully pass. He did not appear in pain. She said no to hold it. By the time I could call and tell them I needed the charge nurse STAT she walked through the door, looked at me and gave a slight negative shake of her head. I knew he just passed as she saw the monitor seconds before she entered the room. Even if it was just a few seconds they had to say goodbye I’m glad they had it.
Wow! Salem witch trial in modern times! What a travesty! I hope they recover and get some quality of life back! Not a fair way to treat a compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable doctor IMO!
My heart goes out to this man and his family..I hope and pray that he will recover completely and he will be able to practice again...The society we live in today is bad.
I hope that he sues every individual who accused him of any wrongdoing.
Sue the system for unlawful imprisonment.
If he was acquitted they need to sue
Keep an eye on this family.. he does not look well, I hope he is getting therapy.. things like this go south quickly when the man in the home feels useless it can lead to a Dire situation.. it is very concerning.
He deserves everything back.
His life back,
Medical licence, finances, house etc..
I know of a doctor here where I live that is giving a person I know personally a prescription for 40 mg Opanas, one for 10 MG of opanas, and klonopin. Her husband gets Percocets. That same doctor gave a family friend 10 mg of Opana, 10 MG of Methodone, and a Klonopin script. MULTIPLE ppl in my tiny town go to him bc he gives out these meds. I know this bc I bought the meds off of them while in active addiction. This is the type of doctor that needs to be held accountable. Not a doctor who was helping sick patients.
My addiction started with a dentist giving me 180 perc 7.5's for a single pulled tooth. He told me he was just trying to "be a nice guy to people in pain" and he became quite popular until he was raided by the DEA. That was about 10 years ago and he's still in practice but no excessive pain meds. For many of us Doctors like what you and I are speaking about , they are the ones responsible for getting everyone addicted,
Is he accepting new patients😅
@@OnlyTheChronicAMEN 🙌🙏
The doctor in this video was not doing anything like the doctor in your town. He was caring for terminally ill cancer patients.
@@OnlyTheChronic it's a good thing I didn't know him because I would have ended up having every tooth pulled in my head if not multiple root canals hahaha
Prayers for this Doctor & His Family ❤. The Doctor will be a Testimony...and One Day Soon, Continue to help Others.
As Judge Judy would say, YOU HAVE ENOUGH CHILDREN! 🙏
At least he have somewhere safe for his family
Praying for you and your family
I own 2 business and have 5 kids in a 1 bedroom house. My wife is working and going to school and we are in our 30s.. it’s not that bad bro, in matter of fact, we’re happier then we’ve ever been! We’re also on Medicaid and food stamps as well, let this be a time you focus on what really matters, spending time with your wife and kids, and focusing on what God is doing in your life. Things will turn around in due time.
How selfish. Those businesses are obviously failing. The wife has to be the only one working hard and seeking a better education in school due to your refusal to accept the fact that you are not entrepreneurial. 😠
You living with your parents? Being hounded falsely by the justice system? Your situation can't be compared.
I may be in the minority, but I love what you said. When my (now ex) husband and I were young, both going to school, working as much as we could to pay the bills, and had toddlers to care for we were so happy. In fact, that was the most content part of my life. We didn't have much, but that helped us to focus on what really mattered. I can't imagine how nice it would've been if we'd have had help from family too. It's always best to be thankful for the gifts God is giving you at this very moment and to be thankful.
@@ds37215I don’t understand why you have to be so nasty to this person who clearly did nothing wrong. The economy is shit right now and most people are struggling right now. We don’t know the specifics of his situation and there is no need to be nasty. We need to be kind to each other 😢
That’s great for you, and I’m glad you can see the bright side for your family. But you are there by choice, making a sacrifice. No one
targeted you and ruined your life by taking away your life’s work. Do you know how long it takes to become a doctor?
🙏MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP HIM AND HIS FAMILY SAFE AND WELL.🙏
Whoever fired him, please hire him back, give him back pay. This is cruel and wrong.
My Mom fought cancer for years. Finally there were no more treatments available. Her experienced doctor switched pain meds so she would not suffer. At the end she was given morphine. So thankful her doctor knew how to manage end stage cancer.
Fire the doctor who refuses meds to a terminal patient after you find one who knows how to manage end of life pain.
From what you describe, the medical team who ordered comfort care for your mother, including morphine, acted within the medical practice act and standards of care of their professional medical licenses under the medical board that governs them. No Clinician with any ethics would deprive a patient comfort care, However this does not include one giant fatal dose of a synthetic opioid. Morphine is completely appropriate, whereas fentanyl At 100 times the prescribable dose is not justifiable.
