Your compassion and validation of the suffering happening to countless people is truly touching my soul. It’s just beyond comprehension that we have the technology to provide medical care and yet the general public suffer. We the people are turned away and sent home from emergency services and told to follow up with our primary care doctor. At best it’s 2-3 months waiting for an appointment. How many people have died while waiting? Thank you for creating a new service that can help those in your area. The problem is global. Something really needs to change in the whole medical system. I hope you are successful in helping as many people as you can.
Dr Gupta, you truly are an outstanding human being! Your father would be so immensely proud of you! I wish you every success with this endeavour and hope that other gifted specialists like yourself, are inspired to follow suit- a change is desperately needed! I'm just so sorry that your dear friend was lost as a result of the system failing him! Lovely to see you back online and be sure to take care of yourself- the world needs more people like you!!
I am deeply sorry for your loss Dr Sanjay. However, in your grief and despair you managed to come up with this amazing package that could benefit a lot of people. I am certain your father would be very proud of you.
Dr Gupta: You are an amazing human being Cadiologist. I just wish you were in the USA. You would surely be my cardiologist. God bless you for caring. Hope this venture of yours is a BIG success in saving lives
What a horror story. I'm in Australia and in NSW, the state I live in the public health system is also underfunded and waiting times are long BUT on every occasion that I have turned up at a public hospital with heart problems I have been examined immediately and treated very promptly. Perhaps Britain just needs a better government.
@@Karim-so9jc This is also my experience in Ontario when there is an urgent issue. And though the system is strained, I've always received good care. The public system needs to remain in place in order to meet the needs of ALL, regardless of income. But it also needs to be reformed...

I really, really wish you success with this Sanjay - and I say that as somebody who spent the best part of four decades as a dedicated NHS professional. The need for such a service is vital, literally! Good luck 👍
You are a very special person Sanjay. I hope this plan works and yes keep posting on the progress so we elsewhere in the UK can put pressure on our areas to do the same.
You’ve helped me via this channel. I know you will provide a major beneficial service for the people in your area. I’m old enough to remember when doctors made most of the decisions back in the 1950s to seeing the gradual takeover of medicine in the US by the insurance business deciding what’s covered or not. I’m saddened by the state of US medicine that leaves millions in the cold. Best wishes for this insightful initiative. A wonderful way to honor your father and friend.
Although I have not had a consultation this channel has helped me enormously, even saved my life! Especially during a two year (pandemic) period where post an event I received no home care or physical therapy, only a couple of phone calls which were not that helpful.
We desperately need more Doctors, Consultant s with your ❤ for the patient Bring back the Hypacratoc path Your Idea is a wonderful tribute to both Gather & beloved Friend
You are the very best Dr Gupta. I have been following you for some years and your videos have given me much comfort and hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and knowledge. This story is so very tragic and I send condolences to you for the loss of your friend and father. I do hope you offer is a success.
What a brilliant initiative brought to fruition! My heart goes out to you for both those very dear losses. What tough blows for you to withstand! And yet you came out alive, enabling so many people to get an excellent chance in life because of your humility, sense of care and understanding. I can see this turn of events cascading into the bigger world 🌎 That is a true GIFT! Thinking of you Dr. Gupta in your grief and in your new purpose. Lots of true blessings head. My warmest wishes to you ❤ From Denmark 🇩🇰
I have been through that bureaucratic maze with the NHS - wonderful hands on clinicians and awful administration and yes the patient is just treated as the next page in the in-tray.
Hi Sanjay! Excellent news!! I don’t live in UK but I am quite happy to see that your dream is coming to fruition!! Congratulations!! You are an amazing and beautiful human and your love and humanity shows in every video by you that I watched on every topic. I salute your honesty, forthrightness, knowledge and goodness that is reflected in every word that you say. Each and every word that you say comforts and allays fears of so many people that watch you! Thank you my friend! Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet you someday when I am in UK. Take care and God Bless!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your father and your friend. ❤ They are both proud of you, I'm sure. Many thanks for your wisdom and willingness to share and help people. I think your idea is wonderful. It's even harder to navigate the system when you have multiple health issues (I have long covid, cognitive issues, and other health issues, too). I feel for those who are less able, or have challenges with cognition and mental health. I will be emailing you and spreading the word. 🙏
Dr Sanjay, your foresight, humanity and sincerity is greatly appreciated by all you channel subscribers, but surely we, as a country need a reformed NHS ? The political parties need to stop squabbling over minor issues and put together a manifesto that sorts out healthcare for all in the UK. All we here is those on the left, those on the right, those left of centre, etc, and nothing changes ! People are dying out there and it is criminal ! I don't suppose you could run for PM could you ? Keep up the good work ! you' re a " Top Man"
YOU are a ChangeMaker! Thank you for continually thinking outside of the box and changing healthcare from within. Your father and your friend would be so proud of this work.
Godspeed, Dr. Gupta! The package is even more impressive because it has you as part of it. If this catches on in the UK, perhaps other countries will follow suit. Good luck!! ❤
In Thailand, my wife went to see my cardiologist without an appointment. She went before 8 and had blood tests and other tests and was given medication all by 11am. She's going for a follow up tomorrow. The cost was around 8,000 baht £175. I suggest getting a flight to Thailand where you can see a specialist immediately and have a small holiday at the same time. Hospital costs can be very expensive as well as operations. However, following a consultation, you can get a very accurate estimate of what it will all cost. Better than waiting to die.
My BP started to go low and my cardiologist told me to reduce the meds. I reduced them to zero and don't take them any more. I monitor my BP and heart rate which appears higher due to the Afib but has also become lower. I thought I would have to take the meds for the rest of my life and was warned against rebound. I have stopped carbs and started mild intermittent fasting. I haven't seen my cardiologist in a while because I'm living in Portugal. At 76, I know my valves are leaky and my heart isn't perfect but the BP is normal. I do regular excercise riding my E-Bike but obviously have to rest if I over exert. Am I taking risks?
Hi Dr Gupta, ‘Big trees from little acorns grow’ 🌳🌳🌳 I wish you well in your new venture, in memory of your friend. Don’t forget the power of radio, a lot of people who will benefit from the kits still use this medium. Good Luck ❤
You are such a sweet soul. True salt of the earth. I really wish you were in the states. I neglect my health in certain ways because I can't seem to find too many docs like you. I have MASSIVE anxiety and OCD and lots of doctors don't seem to want to understand how to deal with us or take an extra minute to help us where we struggle. I'm sorry about the loss of your friend, so sad they just wouldn't listen..and of course your Dad as well❤ Much luck with this new endeavor, I hope many people can benefit, and coming up with something lke this shows your true heart
I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. The healthcare system is very frustrating at times. here in the USA we have high premiums and also even for the elderly with Medicare. This is very sad. Thank you for voicing your concerns as they are very valid especially in a health care system that is run for profit. I am a former, now retired nurse in the USA. Your solution sounds wonderful and if I lived in the UK, I would definitely do it. God Bless you and your work, Dr. Gupta.
Sorry for your loss for Father and friend. I love that you are trying new ways to be helpful to those who need health care. My concern is that the third way is using the original understaffed and overworked people in the system already. Or is the expectation that private hospitals, etc have a lot more time for it to work. I know that private healthcare insurance is magical when cutting down times for specialists tests and appointments, etc. but surely there is a limit too. Would that soon become priced out of reach for the poorer end of the community. You are very dear to this community. Please continue to be the caring doctor that you are. ❤
Am so very sorry for your loss! Dr. Gupta, you are one of tge most thoughtful caring and very knowledgeable Cardiologist I've watched on TH-cam...am an RN as and am very disappointed at the way our healthcare system is going, especially the old seniors and their caregivers ..no support at all and LT CARE IS at it lowest..not enough nurses anymore to care in this facilities. Lots of Dementia and Alsheizmer...desperate times. Lots of medicines prescribed that causes side effects and sometime death!..God bless you for caring so much and speaking out..wish you all best! from Canada..😊 🙏
Impressive outcome! How refreshing to have such a wonderful example of walking the walk instead of the much more common scenario. If I were in the same country, I would be all over this offer - have been dealing with some serious cardiovascular issues and am very disappointed by the standard approach offered as a 'solution'. On a more positive note, the whole situation has given me the unwavering drive to leave no stone unturned from a lifestyle standpoint, taking diet and exercise to levels I would have never believed were a possibility for me to achieve, let alone enjoy, before. You have chosen a perfect way to honour your dad and friend. May you find great success and fulfillment with this endeavour. Take care, dear sir. Karen
What a wonderful idea, Dr. Sanjay! This plan is born out of genuine care, love and respect and will prosper. 🙏🏻 Something wonderful happened with the original NHS and it can and will happen again. I am sure that many people would also be interested in paying for a general check-up package during which BP & bloods are taken and heart issues looked out for. I’d love to get my cardiovascular system checked out and do have private health insurance but you have to do everything through your GP first and getting an appointment is a major issue. Our cars get better health check-ups than their owners. Time for that to change. May God bless your venture!
Wonderful advocacy and tribute to your beloved Father and beloved friend. Because of your heart, You’ve managed to find solutions and the shine light of opportunities extending it to us. “Grab Heart Package.” The 3rd way: Yes 🙌🏼 (All of our dreams). I live in Canada: The broken systems break all of our hearts, literally, figuratively, directly and indirectly. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead Is there anyway to help from here? 🇨🇦 Congratulations Dr. Gupta 🌟
I live in the U.S. with our own set of issues with healthcare; but it is wonderful to hear that you are trying to be a part of finding solutions instead of going along with what they have in place. I hope that you can make a difference for everyone in your country who needs for healthcare to be about humanity not profit.
Thank you! Thank God people like you exist. My brother has a heart attack and surgery aged 47, he is now 65 and went to the doctor in pain and said it felt the same as when he had his first heart attack. They gave him antibiotics and three days later he was air lifted to hospital with a heart attack. I became unconscious a year ago last Xmas and my son took me to A and E I was given antibiotics and have now been diagnosed with heart issues. I used to be a nurse and am heart broken at the water things are now. Bless you for caring so deeply for humanity
Dr Sanjay Gupta, my sincere condolences on the 3rd anniversary of your dear father's death and that of your good friend. You are not only an exceptional physician but a Great human being whose goal is to help people in need. I have the utmost respect for you and I will sign up for your heart package today. However, I live in the US state of Virginia. Although I have had a cardiologist for the past six years i'm at the conclusion that he did not give me good heart care😟
Oh, well done! I'm so sorry about your friend, but what an excellent initiative! May it prosper and flourish. Something I'd love to see happen is a new type of community GP - working privately but locally, on a subscription scheme; whereby a GP would take on a group of patients all regularly paying in to the scheme to provide the GP with a sensible wage. This would ensure stability and continuity of care, which I believe is a foundation stone of clinical excellence.
Wow. I'll sign up for that. As a sufferer of cardiac anxiety, and my cardiologist not wanting a CT done because "echo looks ok" ecg looks ok. What a blessing you are Dr Gupta, and I have had a consult with him.... I couldn't say enough, to give thanks, about the information and demeanor he has, and compassion. So if you haven't booked a consult with Dr Sanjay then you should, even if it's just a screening for health.
I agree with your overall sentiments regarding the NHS as a whole. Major reform is required as a lot of money and resources are wasted - 'diversity managers' on £50k+ for example. The public also need to take responsibility for their health and stop wasting NHS time with bullshit trips to A&E and not attending GP/hospital appointments. Fines for time wasters should be introduced and access to interventions limited if your ailments are entirely self inflicted (i.e. you're morbidly obese via dietary choices but then need a new hip etc). There's no 'easy fix' and maybe we need to get really tough with those who abuse their bodies but expect the NHS (and tax payer) to pick up the pieces.
You have such a big heart. Your father and friend would be so proud of you. Great job on getting this off the ground. Hopefully, you will prove it as a viable option during the 3-month trial run so it can continue to help cardiac patients forever.
You Sir are an incredible, caring, human being. Thank you for all the concern on our behalf & for finding a way to help in these very difficult times. I am dreadfully sorry about your dear friend and remembering your father in this way is wonderful. I can’t believe it is 3 years since you lost him, how time flies 😢
How sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. I suspect your friend is not the only one to have been failed by the NHS, sadly. That's a fantastic idea about heart package - well done and thank you. We need more doctors like you!
A sad and frightening story Dr. Gupta that worries me greatly. I'm very heartened to hear about the 3rd (possible) way! We shouldn't have to do this but we do all need to tap into any new ways of protecting ourselves. I have had a consultation with you previously and upon experiencing another long episode of SVT yesterday I was 22nd in line on the phone at my surgery. I wanted to book an appointment to have a look at any new beds to help me control this as it was an 8hour stint with the Palps. Good luck with the proposed new system. ❤
Dear Sanjay, I was sad to hear about your friend’s death and I am sad that so many people are similarly unable to get the healthcare they need in our broken system. I feel inspired by your work. You know what you are talking about, you have the ability to think things through clearly, you have a big heart and you are fearless in your willingness to speak the truth as you see it. These are the very qualities that are needed if we are to find a way forward. I hope that your new venture succeeds, but even if it doesn’t I don’t think you will give up! Your love for your father is evident and I am sure that he would be very proud of you.
Dearest Doc, what a wonderful heart you have, & the sweetest soul. We are truly blessed having your guidance & humanity. Thank you so much for your care & concern, & sincerely hope your plan comes to fruition. God Bless you. X
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. On a different note... Your father is looking down at you and telling himself he did a great job raising you! You are every parents dream of a son!! You know what this old PICU ICU RN thinks of you as a physician! RESPECT! Respect to your genuine caring for patients and the desire to make a difference. God bless you!🥰🙏
My father who passed in 2011 made his own private account purely for healthcare. May your father’s and your friend’s souls rest in peace. You are an exceptional doctor of great compassion!
This is great. Every time I go to a doctor or er and get tests (no images) they charge me $1400. I went and got a chest xray once and they charged me $5400. I wish people like you were here in the states. Sorry for your loss, I hope you can help lots of people.
When I finally went to the E.R. after a week of activity induced chest pain I was treated like the only patient on earth. They had my back for sure. I received a stent the next day in a 99% blocked artery. I have health insurance. The whole ordeal cost my about 7K. Our system is far from perfect but I am very thankful for everyone who took care of me.
Thanks Sanjay for a great video. Wish there were more caring doctors like yourself. I sent a letter to my practice a few weeks ago about the state of affairs in being unable to get an appointment in a timely manner. I got a reply from one of the head doctors showing the utter arrogance you mentioned. I just replied to him telling him refuting every complaint with white washing is not the way and reiterating every thing I had said in the first letter
Thank you Dr. Gupta for your generosity and caring heart. I wish we had more doctors like you in the U.S. I just had a third stent placed in my heart. I have insurance which costs me 900.00$ a month with a 8,700$ deductible. I am too young for our government Medicare , only 64 you need to be 65. I thank fully can afford my care, but there are many that cannot. My blood thinner is 225.00$ a month. I have stopped smoking 40 yrs ago, don’t drink, exercise and eat 90% organic and clean. I think your plans are wonderful and I hope all goes well and many people will not go through what your friend experienced. So sorry for your loss. May God bless you.
When you are 65 and ready for Medicare, please do not go to HMO!!!! You have to get a referral from your primary dictir to see any specialist, and you have to wait for approval for procedures. Pay extra and go to a supplement plan. It's even better than PPO. I do not have to get for any referral. As long as the doctor accepts Medicare, it's good to go. No in network or out of network BS. Hope you are doing well. Get a good Medicare insurance person if you have one. I am fortunate that my daughter offered to pay for the extra premium but they are also relieved that I don't have to wait for referrals, it could be a matter of life and death.
What a nightmare! I am a Swiss doctor, and if you had any symptoms of a heard attack in Switzerland, you can call an fully equipped ambulance that would arrive within one hour and you would be driven to a cardiac unit for diagnosis and treatment
That sounds better, but still... within an hour??

Hi Dr Gupta, ‘Big trees from little acorns grow’ 🌳🌳🌳 I wish you well in your new venture, in memory of your friend. Don’t forget the power of radio, a lot of people who will benefit from the kits still use this medium. Good Luck ❤
This so sad. I’m so sorry Dr Gupta. 😪
You are such a sweet soul. True salt of the earth. I really wish you were in the states. I neglect my health in certain ways because I can't seem to find too many docs like you. I have MASSIVE anxiety and OCD and lots of doctors don't seem to want to understand how to deal with us or take an extra minute to help us where we struggle.
I'm sorry about the loss of your friend, so sad they just wouldn't listen..and of course your Dad as well❤
Much luck with this new endeavor, I hope many people can benefit, and coming up with something lke this shows your true heart
I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. The healthcare system is very frustrating at times. here in the USA we have high premiums and also even for the elderly with Medicare. This is very sad. Thank you for voicing your concerns as they are very valid especially in a health care system that is run for profit. I am a former, now retired nurse in the USA. Your solution sounds wonderful and if I lived in the UK, I would definitely do it. God Bless you and your work, Dr. Gupta.
Sorry for your loss for Father and friend. I love that you are trying new ways to be helpful to those who need health care. My concern is that the third way is using the original understaffed and overworked people in the system already. Or is the expectation that private hospitals, etc have a lot more time for it to work. I know that private healthcare insurance is magical when cutting down times for specialists tests and appointments, etc. but surely there is a limit too. Would that soon become priced out of reach for the poorer end of the community. You are very dear to this community. Please continue to be the caring doctor that you are. ❤
Am so very sorry for your loss! Dr. Gupta, you are one of tge most thoughtful caring and very knowledgeable Cardiologist I've watched on TH-cam...am an RN as and am very disappointed at the way our healthcare system is going, especially the old seniors and their caregivers ..no support at all and LT CARE IS at it lowest..not enough nurses anymore to care in this facilities. Lots of Dementia and Alsheizmer...desperate times. Lots of medicines prescribed that causes side effects and sometime death!..God bless you for caring so much and speaking out..wish you all best! from Canada..😊 🙏
GOD BLESS YOU DOC , FOR ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO🙏🏾
Impressive outcome! How refreshing to have such a wonderful example of walking the walk instead of the much more common scenario. If I were in the same country, I would be all over this offer - have been dealing with some serious cardiovascular issues and am very disappointed by the standard approach offered as a 'solution'. On a more positive note, the whole situation has given me the unwavering drive to leave no stone unturned from a lifestyle standpoint, taking diet and exercise to levels I would have never believed were a possibility for me to achieve, let alone enjoy, before.
You have chosen a perfect way to honour your dad and friend. May you find great success and fulfillment with this endeavour. Take care, dear sir.

Congratulations🎉 Sanjay. You have a lot to celebrate. 🎉❤ You are the ultimate DOCTOR. If I lived in the UK I would only have you as my doctor❤
What a wonderful idea, Dr. Sanjay! This plan is born out of genuine care, love and respect and will prosper. 🙏🏻 Something wonderful happened with the original NHS and it can and will happen again. I am sure that many people would also be interested in paying for a general check-up package during which BP & bloods are taken and heart issues looked out for. I’d love to get my cardiovascular system checked out and do have private health insurance but you have to do everything through your GP first and getting an appointment is a major issue. Our cars get better health check-ups than their owners. Time for that to change. May God bless your venture!
Wonderful advocacy and tribute to your beloved Father and beloved friend.
Because of your heart, You’ve managed to find solutions and the shine light of opportunities extending it to us. “Grab Heart Package.”
The 3rd way: Yes 🙌🏼
(All of our dreams).

Is there anyway to help from here? 🇨🇦 Congratulations Dr. Gupta 🌟
What a great human being you are... your father and friend knew this... their spirits will continue via your kindness and compassion.
Thank you for your humanity and kindness. Bless you in all that you do. 🙏
How terrible, Dr. Gupta. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for working hard to make life better for people.
I am so sorry for your loss 6:14
I live in the U.S. with our own set of issues with healthcare; but it is wonderful to hear that you are trying to be a part of finding solutions instead of going along with what they have in place. I hope that you can make a difference for everyone in your country who needs for healthcare to be about humanity not profit.
I am sad to say I live in the US…you are a model and gift to your countrymen.❤
Sorry for your loss. You are awesome. I wish you all the success with thie endeavor. I will email York Cardiology
Thank you! Thank God people like you exist. My brother has a heart attack and surgery aged 47, he is now 65 and went to the doctor in pain and said it felt the same as when he had his first heart attack. They gave him antibiotics and three days later he was air lifted to hospital with a heart attack. I became unconscious a year ago last Xmas and my son took me to A and E I was given antibiotics and have now been diagnosed with heart issues. I used to be a nurse and am heart broken at the water things are now. Bless you for caring so deeply for humanity
Absolutely wonderful, you are truly an Angel. Your Father will be so very proud of you.
Dr Sanjay Gupta, my sincere condolences on the 3rd anniversary of your dear father's death and that of your good friend. You are not only an exceptional physician but a Great human being whose goal is to help people in need. I have the utmost respect for you and I will sign up for your heart package today. However, I live in the US state of Virginia. Although I have had a cardiologist for the past six years i'm at the conclusion that he did not give me good heart care😟
A brilliant idea. A third way. Hopefully this will take off and many people will benefit.
Thank you for trying to make a difference.
Oh, well done! I'm so sorry about your friend, but what an excellent initiative! May it prosper and flourish.
Something I'd love to see happen is a new type of community GP - working privately but locally, on a subscription scheme; whereby a GP would take on a group of patients all regularly paying in to the scheme to provide the GP with a sensible wage. This would ensure stability and continuity of care, which I believe is a foundation stone of clinical excellence.
God bless you Dr Sanjay. 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤ You are in the right profession a man, a doctor who truly cares about HEART health ❤ Bless you. So sorry for your loss ❤
Wow. I'll sign up for that. As a sufferer of cardiac anxiety, and my cardiologist not wanting a CT done because "echo looks ok" ecg looks ok. What a blessing you are Dr Gupta, and I have had a consult with him.... I couldn't say enough, to give thanks, about the information and demeanor he has, and compassion. So if you haven't booked a consult with Dr Sanjay then you should, even if it's just a screening for health.
I agree with your overall sentiments regarding the NHS as a whole. Major reform is required as a lot of money and resources are wasted - 'diversity managers' on £50k+ for example.
The public also need to take responsibility for their health and stop wasting NHS time with bullshit trips to A&E and not attending GP/hospital appointments. Fines for time wasters should be introduced and access to interventions limited if your ailments are entirely self inflicted (i.e. you're morbidly obese via dietary choices but then need a new hip etc).
There's no 'easy fix' and maybe we need to get really tough with those who abuse their bodies but expect the NHS (and tax payer) to pick up the pieces.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend 🙏 I wish I was in the UK, here in Virginia, US, I can’t get good healthcare.
So sorry for your loss.
Your initiative is wonderful and wish you every success and may your kindness be rewarded 1000 fold.
You have such a big heart. Your father and friend would be so proud of you. Great job on getting this off the ground. Hopefully, you will prove it as a viable option during the 3-month trial run so it can continue to help cardiac patients forever.
You Sir are an incredible, caring, human being. Thank you for all the concern on our behalf & for finding a way to help in these very difficult times. I am dreadfully sorry about your dear friend and remembering your father in this way is wonderful. I can’t believe it is 3 years since you lost him, how time flies 😢
How sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. I suspect your friend is not the only one to have been failed by the NHS, sadly. That's a fantastic idea about heart package - well done and thank you. We need more doctors like you!
A sad and frightening story Dr. Gupta that worries me greatly. I'm very heartened to hear about the 3rd (possible) way! We shouldn't have to do this but we do all need to tap into any new ways of protecting ourselves. I have had a consultation with you previously and upon experiencing another long episode of SVT yesterday I was 22nd in line on the phone at my surgery. I wanted to book an appointment to have a look at any new beds to help me control this as it was an 8hour stint with the Palps. Good luck with the proposed new system. ❤
You are a good, good man Dr Gupta.
Beautiful person. We are so thank you for your generosity
Dear Sanjay, I was sad to hear about your friend’s death and I am sad that so many people are similarly unable to get the healthcare they need in our broken system. I feel inspired by your work. You know what you are talking about, you have the ability to think things through clearly, you have a big heart and you are fearless in your willingness to speak the truth as you see it. These are the very qualities that are needed if we are to find a way forward. I hope that your new venture succeeds, but even if it doesn’t I don’t think you will give up! Your love for your father is evident and I am sure that he would be very proud of you.
Dearest Doc, what a wonderful heart you have, & the sweetest soul. We are truly blessed having your guidance & humanity.
Thank you so much for your care & concern, & sincerely hope your plan comes to fruition.
God Bless you. X
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.
On a different note... Your father is looking down at you and telling himself he did a great job raising you!
You are every parents dream of a son!!
You know what this old PICU ICU RN thinks of you as a physician!
RESPECT! Respect to your genuine caring for patients and the desire to make a difference.
God bless you!🥰🙏
My father who passed in 2011 made his own private account purely for healthcare. May your father’s and your friend’s souls rest in peace. You are an exceptional doctor of great compassion!
From a hospital nurse in the U.S., insurance is more of an OBSTACLE than a service.
mr. Sanjay Gupta you are probably the best human on this earth. Thank you for everything you do - i hope you have the best most wonderful life🙏
Very true… Sorry for your loss. May their souls RIP🙏🏻 Thanks for the information.
This is great. Every time I go to a doctor or er and get tests (no images) they charge me $1400. I went and got a chest xray once and they charged me $5400. I wish people like you were here in the states. Sorry for your loss, I hope you can help lots of people.
When I finally went to the E.R. after a week of activity induced chest pain I was treated like the only patient on earth. They had my back for sure. I received a stent the next day in a 99% blocked artery. I have health insurance. The whole ordeal cost my about 7K. Our system is far from perfect but I am very thankful for everyone who took care of me.
Dr. Gupta, you are truly amazing. Best of luck with your endeavour 😊
Splendid and accurate assessment of the "industry" Boss 👍 ( a great idea, I do hope it takes off and becomes successful )
Congratulations! 🎉 This is a wonderful service you are going to be able to provide!! 🌟 Please keep us updated.
So sorry to hear about your your friend Dr Gupta you are truly a humanitarian may the Lord bless you greatly for your goodness and your good heart!
Thanks Sanjay for a great video. Wish there were more caring doctors like yourself. I sent a letter to my practice a few weeks ago about the state of affairs in being unable to get an appointment in a timely manner. I got a reply from one of the head doctors showing the utter arrogance you mentioned. I just replied to him telling him refuting every complaint with white washing is not the way and reiterating every thing I had said in the first letter
Thank you Dr. Gupta for your generosity and caring heart. I wish we had more doctors like you in the U.S. I just had a third stent placed in my heart. I have insurance which costs me 900.00$ a month with a 8,700$ deductible. I am too young for our government Medicare , only 64 you need to be 65. I thank fully can afford my care, but there are many that cannot. My blood thinner is 225.00$ a month. I have stopped smoking 40 yrs ago, don’t drink, exercise and eat 90% organic and clean. I think your plans are wonderful and I hope all goes well and many people will not go through what your friend experienced. So sorry for your loss. May God bless you.
When you are 65 and ready for Medicare, please do not go to HMO!!!! You have to get a referral from your primary dictir to see any specialist, and you have to wait for approval for procedures. Pay extra and go to a supplement plan. It's even better than PPO. I do not have to get for any referral. As long as the doctor accepts Medicare, it's good to go. No in network or out of network BS. Hope you are doing well. Get a good Medicare insurance person if you have one. I am fortunate that my daughter offered to pay for the extra premium but they are also relieved that I don't have to wait for referrals, it could be a matter of life and death.
I have severe cardiophobia and stories like this always leave me in panic mode. Sorry for your loss🙏🏽.
I am so sorry for you loss. I applaud your perseverance to create an affordable health care plan.
