As an American I've said it for years: here you are not a patient, you are a customer.
👏good one! So if you can't pay, they dump you outside. Sad but clearly happening. It's inhumane to treat fellow human beings like they are garbage.
@karalynne7616 why aren't you letting them live with you?
Search it out and see AMERICAN HOSPITALS HAVE shut down labor and delivery for not being profitable burn 🔥 units for next for not being profitable and now pediatrics? Shut them down they say -not profitable. I guess they put a price tag on our heads maybe they can tattoo the barcode on mine to see if I get it or not!!!
Exactly! 💯
@user-zp6ff2gr4n That's an overused question that solves nothing, and only distracts from trying to find real solutions. My purpose in responding was to agree that healthcare is more a business than service & humans shouldn't be treated like garbage.
Dear God, an elderly woman collapsed in the street and it’s the actual hospital that dumped her. What have we become as a society.
The quality of a society is measured by the value they place on their most vulnerable.
Our *evil* is showing more?
Ukraine needs help, give them a trillion dollars package. This is nothing in front of what's happening in the Ukrainian.
Are you on your way up there to go get her? Oh, you’re not?! Let me guess, to busy at home surfin the net, sippin tea wrapped up in a blanky.
@@AFA111I think the people in the U.S.A. are more important
Whoever did this to a vulnerable lady, deserves life in prison.
I've been treated this way for years and years in Central Florida.......as a homeless person!! Mostly turned away and refused help at the ER with various medical issues, then escorted off premises by security! The thing that really infuriates ME is now that I live IN A HOUSE through my church's incredible help, they know my face and name! And the hospitals STILL tell me I am homeless and won't allow me to prove otherwise, and ask me to leave or cops will be called! All I can see in this, is the hospital calling 911 about a homeless person at the ER merely asking for medical help needing to be trespassed!!???
Protocol IS-- if you are well to do, they can not discharge patients from the hospital without a friend or family or guardian present to drive that patient home!! For safety. But the homeless get dumped in their own, WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT!
Prisons are to soft . Old oil drum and pacific ocean are the fitted kind of punishment.
Agree 💯
@@user-cs7tc6cw1ihow do they know if your well to do they ask 😂😂😂😂😂
As a retired nurse this is horrific. The perpetrators and anyone who participated in this should be in prison. 😢
Hey Carol, possible solution to your horror:
1. Hire an attorney to prosecute the perpretators and anyone involved
2. You should come back work at the ER and teach them how it should be done.
(I bet you would be kicking people out of the ER once you've been loaded
with annoying patients coming to the ER for some nonsense complaint)
3. Go to your local ER and pick some homeless patients and bring them to your
house. Imagine how fun it would be making new friends you can hang out
with and all the fun things y'all will do (cooking, applying make up to each
other, hoarding things to your home, etc)
Your comment won't help fix the situation, but your actions will. What are you willing to do? Probably nothing my horrified ex-nurse.
@@alphacentaury actually I couldn't get hired. I'm too old unless it's just charting. Although I worked for years doing direct nursing in varied settings, mostly neurosurgery, and then doing investigations of medical facilities and nursing homes. Some people should never be around patients or anyone vulnerable. If you think it's somehow objectionable to hold abusers accountable you should probably find a new profession.
@@CarolB-ku2fe Oh, no need cause I left nursing already. I couldn't put up with healthcare BS anymore. I was an ER nurse, so I know exactly what's going on there. Too bad you were not brave enough to come down to the ER when you were a nurse. It's easy to give an opinion when you have never experienced it live (especially during covid).
@@alphacentaury PS, I have paid for several homeless people to stay in decent hotels and helped them get housing.As an older adult with multiple health issues I do what I can. when I was a nurse I was floated to the ER often.. more than once my coworkers and I used a fund we setup among us to help someone get lodging until SocServ could place them .we also bought coats etc from thrift stores, had them cleaned and gave them out. But people were nicer then and there were fewer homeless people.
No shot you’re a nurse if you really believe this.
Clearly you never worked in the ER
The American Healthcare system is absolutely terrifying
The greed. Sickening.
Pay to play
Pretty sure it's litteraly 1st world healthcare. Watch as we let all the homeless people live inside the hospitals "wE aRe OvER CrOWdED" fucking idiots
By design
Define healthcare first. Then one can begin to...
Why is no one blaming the hospital administrators and CEOs? They’re the reason this is happening.
Investigators are not allowed to question or audit admins and ceos.
No the government is why this is happening.
Hospitals will quickly go bankrupt.
Really need the full story from both sides. So many family members do not want to take their family home, because they want to be free to go out, party, what ever. So we need to get the story from both sides first before making judgment.
Personal financial irresponsibility is the reason
That is in-humane, short and simple.
Dumping someone out on the street who is not able to take care of them selves should be against the law
It IS. That's the point.
Medical negligence
here comes the communism talk.
Jesus loves you ❤ ✝️ Jesus is Savior of the world ❤ Jesus saves from hell. Jesus died for us on the cross. He rose again and is coming soon. We are living in the end times. Take refuge in His name ❤ ✝️ Just by the blood of Jesus that our sin is washed away. Not by our own works so no one can boast. Every one is a sinner and falls short of the glory of God.

@danielsdiary8371 thank you this is it we're at the precipice of the end where everyone will figure out who was the only being that ever care for them..
This is NOT about training. Its about money!! Greedy, heartless organization.
You know what is awesome? When the hospitals go bankrupt and shut down and nobody gets help!
True, $$$. Sad, But, hospitals need $$$ to operate, maybe u can donate $$$ to your local hospital.
easy to say behind a keyboard, are you gona pay for her hospital stay?🙄
Absolutely!!!
The U.S. health care system is messed up
This is not only illegal, its inhumane, unethical, and unconscionable. Shame on them!!
We don’t do homeless, injured dogs like that!!

@@texasgoddess323Yes, Texas does the same thing.😊
Well said!!!
So when can the homeless move into your living room?
@@anderfu8273 I just about do have the homeless in my living room. I live here in San Francisco, California, and we have homelessness on a level higher. I've never seen as many homeless people this bad since the 80s AIDS epidemic. People are literally dying on the street. Let's first address the old, "Well, San Francisco blah blah blah." Our situation is no difference from many cities and states are struggling with. I see it every day. Treat em with the same respect you'd treat anyone.
I was dumped by a hospital when I was 18 after being hit by a car. I had a massive concussion, memory loss and convulsions. As soon as I was stabilized, they took me outside, dumped me from my wheelchair and took the chair back inside. The hospital wasn’t far from the freeway and I dragged myself down to an underpass and lived in a hole in the ground for about 30 days. I drank from mud puddles and ate garbage to survive. This was in 1981. I finally got my act together enough to realize the hospital had kept all my clothes and my keys and wallet. I managed to limp up to the hospital and get my stuff back before it was donated to charity. I spent the first 30 days living in a dirty hospital gown. Fortunately it was July when this happened or I wouldn’t have survived.
Jesus, that's horrible
You could have definitely sued that hospital for probably quite a considerable amount considering the circumstances they put you in.
Never too late to sue
That is inhumane what they did to you.
At this point if hospitals and other greedy companies act like monsters, we should treat them like them.
I don’t care what their excuses are. It is still no excuse to dump them in freezing, cold, weather, rain or any other weather! 😡😤
Hospital policies are disgusting. Save the rich and discard the poor.
Hospitals need that cash
The future looks sunny for trump, dk about you all
It should have never been about money is humans should just want to heal save and help each other
@@kjk4795is that why they charge 40$ for a single ibuprofen tablet? And tne insurance companies in the US are the greatest money gobblers… a procedure (robotic surgery hip replacement) costs 5000€ in Greece, all inclusive, with a private hospital/doctor… In the USA, “Without insurance, the cost typically ranges from $31,000 to $45,000 for the surgery alone. “… tell me again how hospitals are not getting enough money. Of course it’s free if you use the National healthcare system here in Greece.

@_pitaph_6392 Good point, thank you.
@@thefox47545At least they're bringing attention to a worthy cause for once.
If it bleeds, it leads.
People leaving comments online are no better.
The amount of money we're charged for insurance AND our deductible while they do this to people is infuriating.
Why so many of us refuse to pay into the system. Its just a shake down.
Exactly!!!
I say 5 years minimum hard HARD time Federal time for each board member..... televise it so all the other dueshbags can see that when you treat nobodies like this this could happen to you!
These people aren't paying anything. How much more are you willing to pay to subsidize them?
Universal healthcare could solve so many issues like this in the US if they would just consider giving it a chance.
Subsidize them? wow. That's a pretty rotten attitude to take. They are human beings who deserve to be treated as such and be provided with healthcare.
We’re turning away our own, and welcoming strangers in droves.
Don't make this about immigrants. They aren't getting anything either. The whole world has gone to shit because politicians in every modern country have been bought and paid for by big multi-national corporations so that the 1/10 of 1% can hoard all of the worlds wealth. For profit healthcare, prisons, schools etc. are killing this country. There are some things that just should never be for profit.
Bless you ! I am so sorry this has happened to you! You do not deserve this type treatment I will and am praying for you!!
People don't deserve to be treated like this whether they have insurance or not.
but nobody in America will do the difficult and bloody work of demanding justice from insurance agencies or medical infrastrutcture
@@aeonsbeyond maybe someone should force labor out of you for no cost.
@aeonsbeyond so you are expecting them to provide expensive care for free. Legally they are only required to provide life saving care. The problem is a for profit healthcare system. We don't have a healthcare system in the US for anyone who can't afford it.
No hospital can refuse anyone emergency medical care.
If you can't pay the bill, they make a workable payment plan. It does not impact your credit score.
That hospital needs to be sued.
Until all hospitals are filled with homeless and illegals and you get sick. Until you need a bed. Or your kid. Then you will understand.
The American health care system is deeply disgusting.
This is a Christian mission so think about that too
Don't fall ill in the UK either. The system is broken and people are dying unnecessarily
Needs to learn from Copenhagen’s government on Health care
You Breeders and Pronatalists shouldn't be complaining about it.
You are the ones support this sadistic cruel System by having more Children you are continuing this cycle of Cruelty and Pro-suffering Society.
I work in an ER not in that area, and we don't treat people like that. This is unspeakably evil, and I hope justice is found.
Dear God what is happening?? My heart is breaking 😢 Thank you sir for covering this story!
Thank you so much for your exposure of these barbaric and inhumane actions from hospitals in the US🤬
As a healthcare worker myself, I am disgusted and embarrassed at that facility’s conduct towards their patients! And they have the nerve to call themselves healthcare providers?!?! I’m going to share this video with some of my coworkers because this needs to be a public service announcement.
Thankyou this needs to be shared with all americans and more media need to walk the line and show what's really going on in america!! To many evil people in America now!! To fire someone who speaks out the truth!!! Barbaric security and hospital staff to let this happen in america!!
Thankyou
I am healthcare worker too, and can tell you that even the so-called nonprofit hospitals are all about money. And then have the nerve to say that they care....bad leadership!
❤
Look at all the healthcare providers that demanded the profoundly unhealthy practice of wearing masks in order to enter their facilities.
This should be illegal and hospitals should be held liable.
It is illegal. Something horrible is happening in that hospital
@@mo-whack6790 Its not just that hospital but all hospitals, they got use to treating people like shit for 3 years and making bank on those who would jump through hoops to even enter, now that they are no longer making profit off of those they can mark covid; they are just treating everyone like shit
You really think suing is going to fix the problem? Throwing money at someone's face is a great way to get them to shut up so the facility can continue business as usual. WE NEED REFORM, NOT LAWSUITS!
It is illegal, they are simply playing the odds that these people won’t be able to secure legal counsel.
They only have a liability to stabilize the patient who doesn't have insurance coverage. This is what I was told while picking up my friend at the curb.
Sending prayers and love to all of you .❤❤❤
I know you all can't see but there are tears rolling down my cheeks.😢😢
I am a retired RN. To say that I am shocked by this atrocity is an understatement. The CEO of that hospital, and all other hospital employees involved, need to face criminal charges. Paying out millions of dollars in judgments is, sadly, changing nothing. Criminal charges against all involved is necessary. If this does not happen, this will never end.
It's not at all shocking. This has been happening a long time... especially to people that don't have insurance to cover things, or people that they can't find secondary facilities for. I'm 35 and able to take care of myself, I just happen to need 4 weeks of IV vanco and meropenom. I've been clean for 3 years, I'm a compliant MAT patient and I still almost had to let them take my PICC line out and go home to die of sepsis essentially because there were no facilities that are willing to deal with MAT or the people that take it. Fortunately, I have a physician for a mother who knows my rights and lit up everyone who would answer a phone. Now, I'm otherwise healthy with a home to go to and and family to help me and they attempted to essentially abandon me and let me die at home...imagine that situation for someone whose mental health isn't being treated that's got nowhere to go, no idea what is and isn't allowed to happen to them, lacks the ability to stand up for themselves or even a phone to call a patient advocate or ombudsman, and has no family to fight. You shouldn't be shocked. Homeless people have been persona non grata since the beginning of our country, it's not a new concept and the healthcare system here has been corrupt and discriminatory since before I was born, before my mom became a doctor, so definitely while you were working in it 😒
Correct. The hospital needs to get closed down and the people in charge, prosecuted. I bet they collect medicare $ from the government. That is a big crime, besides being unethical. They are also FRAUDS !
You must be retired for awhile. This happens.
judgments in some cases just tax payer dollars being redistributed … with the added inconvenience of civil court dates. But with no one being charged with negligence.
@@rebeccasteinke4357 thing is thats not how its done in most of the world. Even though there are delays with universal single payer systems this level of grose inhumanity would not be seen ever. If it did those involved would be charged immediately. All that money wasted to kill foreigners in foreign countries but no effort made to look after each other. A nation without propper priorities will crumble.
That picture of that elderly lady on the ground and the other elderly lady that couldn't breathe is absolutely heartbreaking. Those "medical professionals " take an oath to do no harm. Disgusting.
Saw this last month and haven't been able to get these images out of my mind. Enraging.
That was horrible of hospital did this to the person That family is suing the hospital of negligence
It’s not the doctors and nurses, it’s the wealthy administrators-I could assure of you that-because if a celebrity were to stay there you’d see a completely different standard of care.
she was breathing fine, I didn't see any respiratory distress on camera. she probably went to the ER for a painkiller. I invite you to go to your local ER or shelter. I'm sure more than one will use your help. You don't need to take a oath to serve others, and in turn will help you digest that disgusting feeling you experiencing now. Blessings my friend!
Regardless of what the hospital does as a whole, doctors and nurses working at facilities engaged in patient dumping should permanently lose their licenses.
Fantastic news work. Great job on this segment.
This is unacceptable and despicable.
As an EMT I was doing a non emergency transport where a patient was being discharged out of a hospital and the destination to drop them off wasn't an address. All it said was red van and the name of the street it was on. This man was in his 80's and could barely stand let alone walk. We asked if he could be sent to a facility and due to lack of insurance there was nowhere for him to go and that we had to bring him there. We drove to this red van and it wasn't even a running vehicle. It was junk in someones yard. We contacted a shelter ourselves and filed a report with the state. Not sure what was done about it but I'll never forget how gut wrenching and heart breaking that situation was. Humanity deserves so much more. There should be more programs for the uninsured and homeless instead of just dumping them like garbage to get them out of the way. Its inhumane
In the US, a man in his 80s should be on Medicare! No excuses for this!
Becuz yes! The ppl carrying out heinous orders ARE liable
Don’t do wrong just becuz ur getting pd
Do the right thing
N shout the names of the perps LOUD
@@lorisalim4598Medicare does not pay for long term care. If the person had a qualifying diagnosis it would pay 80% of a rehabilitation stay for 90 days. That is it.
@@triciagrant2315That doesn't mean he couldn't have utilized the local shelter, or availed himself of the numerous social programs available to the indigent. OP even stated he sent a referral there. There is a large portion of the homeless that do not want help.
OP: don't feel bad, it's likely your patient was one of these people. It is what it is, and there's not much anyone can do besides force him to change.
Oh, apparently people that can't pay are putting a strain on the medical system and it's costs. In other words they can't afford to treat you if you're homeless or don't have insurance. They will die on the streets and this is the good old USA.
Seeing that elderly lady lying on the cold ground was heartbreaking. There's no way I could remain employed with a facility that assigns me to do this. I'm not shocked, though. The moral degradation in society is pervasive.
Stop reacting with your emotions, these people are sucking up all the resources of these hospitals.
They expect to live at these hospitals and be treated like kings/queens.
Most of these people are better off dead. They don’t contribute to anything, they only leech off of the system.
The US healthcare system isn’t perfect (needs to be fixed), but these aren’t the people who need the help. Medical-needy people are complete leeches.
And it's going to get much worse! Not to mention treason and flooding the country with guns and assault weapons then staging a coup to overthrow the US government and still the GOP gets away with it!
@@alphacentauryWow they might not be hotel but they are supposed to care for the sick. That woman that couldn't breath needed help not to be dumped. If a jury even found them guilty of dumping then there is a problem. Sounds like you are pretty self centered mate. These are sick people.
Did you realize that that’s a homeless lady that’s trying to get a free bed to stay in and she goes there every single flaucking day?
@@alphacentaury thank you! some people are just lazy flauck heads.
Dont blame the healthcare worker. Blame the system
Whoever told security to remove the patient and any security that actually did it are liable. They should be blamed. The person who made the order to remove the patient is to blame for basically saying "remove them". The security are to blame because they didn't refuse to do the inhumane act. If the security refused to perform the inhumane act and got fired, they would surely have a lawsuit they could file against their employer. An employer can't order an employee to do something illegal or inhumane and then fire them for not doing it.
Time to stand up together against these evil money grabbers and big medicine!
I am a clinical social worker (Masters degree in Social Work) who has worked in the hospital system for nearly two decades I can tell you that these stories are clear Medicare violations concerning unsafe discharge planning. As for the quote-unquote social worker at this facility I will be calling in the morning to speak to their social worker and if in fact this individual is an actual social worker I will be reporting to the licensing board and the NASW. There is no excuse for this behavior this is a culture problem within this facility and you can trace it probably from the top down I can tell you that unless they're lying totally in their documentation that a Medicare audit would likely cost them in the hundreds of thousands in fines, which I'd say they clearly deserve. To the Administration at this facility, I'd suggest ya'll start shifting that horrible unethical care model to a correct model or you'll be banned from accepting any federal funding and shit down soon after.
Thank you. 🙏🏾
Good luck.
Please do. This is beyond disgusting. It's inhumane.
Give us updates please on your venture.
Good, I'm glad that someone is taking care of it! Thank you for using your knowledge and experience for good! Sending love, light and big hugs, k
What a disgrace. Hospital's are meant to be a safe place. Excellent reporting.
No, hospitals are meant to treat life threatening medical emergencies ... and that's ALL. If they try to do anything else, they can't save lives.

It’s very very scary horrific at times no one can be trusted it’s so sad and all not necessary
Just as a question, where else with a capitalist society would u say its better?
The medical industry is EVIL. PURE EVIL. 95% of medical workers are actually incapable of any medical ability. They all have a god complex. They will let good people die in waiting rooms. They kick you out for being sick because the staff is incompetent at curing you of anything.
Former Hospital Security Officer: Most of these PTs are mentally ill, drug-addicted, and homeless. The police department doesn't want to deal with them, so they call an ambulance to make them the hospital's problem. I've walked dozens of patients to the sidewalk and sent them on their way. We try to call their family or a taxi, but they usually can't pay. Which puts pressure on the nursing staff to pay for their ride out of pocket. These homeless cases are very commonly abusive to staff, disorderly, or openly hostile. I've seen multiple assaults on campus of these crazy people attacking our staff. It's security's job to escort them off the property when they have been discharged. The real issue is that the case workers assigned to these cases are overworked and deprived of the resources needed to properly help these people.
Not acceptable to dump folks.
@vatricegeorge706 then what is the appropriate action? People like your grand stand with no real answer to the issue.
This is beyond disgusting behavior! I don't have words strong enough to describe how horrific this is!
We're failing as a society. Our elderly, veterans, our sick, and children...anyone who's vulnerable is being treated like garbage. People who are addicted, or mentally ill get kicked to the curb. People say, "why don't they get help? Why won't they get treatment?" When they try to they get put on the bottom of a long waiting list. It's as if they want to *discourage* them. We're failing at every turn. 😔
Yeah but we are putting illegal immigrants up in five star hotels in New York City.

I went to a hospital in Atlantic City with pneumonia, the doctor was trying to get me discharged and get me to leave . If it was not for a nurse who stood up and spoke up for me I probably would have died that night if I had been sent away , I got so bad that night I thought I was going to die .

Nurses and outside social service workers are very often the last line of advocacy for people in hospitals or in need of medical care. A travel nurse saved my wife from the results of a doctor's horribly botched hip surgery.
The nurses carry the heavy burden of health care. While being understaffed, underpaid and grossly overworked. And they still make it their business to advocate for patients. 😔
Glad that nurse stood up for you

They leave them in hallways for hours without even checking on them at all!
This story is horrific! The hospital should be held accountable in the courts and start pulling their licences!!
My Mom was a RN for 35 years, in her old age she was a patient in Hospital Buen Samaritano Aguadilla, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷they treated her as trash, Mom would never treat people her patients like that...

They should be arrested and sued into bankruptcy You go to jail if you abandon a dog they should be charged with abuse of the elderly and attenpted murder. I cant stop crying. Anybody who would do this is a MONSTER
Unfortunately, there are many families who would do this. Just refuse to come and collect their loved ones from the hospital. Or worse, the individual themselves has alienated their loved ones because they're an addict or mentally ill.

This is a spiritual battle!!! Please pray brethren!!!!
This has nothing to do with anything spiritual.
As a nurse I have never seen anything like that. If I ever do I would report them to the hospital accreditation boards and to medicare/medicade. That is deplorable and unethical. “First do no harm!” That is an oath medical staff are supposed to live by.
Sad for me I did report an incident in my state and guess what I got fired in 3 days

Many Hospitals contract out their Emergency Rooms; they insulate themselves from liability. It's ALL ABOUT MONEY! Emergency Departments are big bucks for the Contractors!!
Not in agreement with this but, the employees are only following protocol, given to them from the top. They have no power.

You get treated like dirt and it has a lifetime effect.
A hospital doing that is literally committing crimes against humanity.
This whole damn country is becoming a crime against humanity! It will get worse if Trump becomes dictator in 2024 too! - This country is finished!
No that's figurative.
They are homeless because they use drugs and alcohol. They take handouts, but don’t stay in shelters because they the rules there don’t allow them to use drugs and alcohol. They have no means to pay hospital bills. They don’t pay tax. Who is committing crimes?
Exactly. These individuals are true terrorists and should be in prison for the rest of their lives. But then again this is all part of the plan so don't expect anything to be remedied. Quite the opposite.
That’s not how you use “literally”

People do realize that a lot of people are looking for a place to stay and refuse to do what the doctors ask. Hospitals are not motels and if you’re not complying with the doctors you need to go.
If you listen to the WHOLE video, it is painfully obvious there is a lot of negligence on the part of hospital staff and social workers.
@@toywrench1 I did listen to the whole thing. The problem is drug addicts and homeless people that choose their lifestyle but also want extra treatment. The hospital nor the staff a social workers and are only there to get people the medical help they need and then are supposed to be discharged.

Wow. This is so heartbreaking. The mom died knowing her son was in bad shape. What is wrong with this hospital. I’m just disgusted. You don’t treat people like trash.
The stress of coordinating his care probably contributed to her death! And she looked young - in a decent society, she would have had easier access to healthcare herself over the years...I am just beside myself for that poor family. I am so tired of good working class people suffering needlessly so some parastitic CEO can watch a line go up.
This Hospital is the worst I heard of.
But let’s be real, I know of so many hospitals that wont even look at you before you pay a ’deposit’ of minimum 2000(!) Dollar!
This has nothing to do with health care, let alone empathy for somebody in need of help. This is stone cold business.
tired of bums using them as a homeless shelter. Why not treat them like trash? thats how they treat themselves.
Tic toc nurses and hospital ceos don't care.
Mitch is the only person who would deserve something like this, not sweet old ladies.
I'm a retired ER nurse and have multiple chronic medical issues. I got Covid last year and was advised by my doctor to go to the ER ASAP because of my breathing issues. I was seen by a triage nurse only and sent to the waiting area for 5 plus hours. I was treated horribly, like I was roadkill. I finally called a family member to come get me as I was so weak, I couldn't walk on my own. I treated myself and it took me several weeks to start feeling some better. When you are having breathing difficulties it is scary, more so when the medical staff act like they don't care. To top it all off, I was sent a bill for the ER visit! The 20 plus years that I worked as an ER nurse, never was anyone treated like that. Never! Hospitals have gotten away from caring for the sick and are all for profits now. Hope someone sues the heck out of the hospitals doing this to people.
That is horrible!!!
Horrifying!!! Our medical system is a disgrace!!!!!!!!!

@@monkfishy6348it sure isn’t affordable I’ll say that. It’s a lie. I tried to get it myself and had to pay way more out of pocket than I was paying “cash pay”.

If you’re making payments, they can’t do anything legally against you.

Lawsuit against the hospital
Please continue to investigate this story. I suspect some of these shelters and hospitals may be receiving taxpayer dollars to take people in, but are not. The pursuit of money has become so vile. Why are the staff following these orders? If the CEO or CFO wants their fellow human beings dumped like rubbish, let them do it themselves.
They all are receiving our tax dollars! And guess who gets the treatment they need before us as citizens of this country illegal aliens do! This is from obiden care and its in full force now! Not to mention that the nurses and doctors are only getting hired because of the color of their skin and not the actual ability to do the job!

Ya, that was a weird change. Do you think that was meant to dehumanize them?

The lack of compassion is leaving me shaken. This is completely unacceptable. Any society that is ok with this sort of treatment of its citizens, particularly those who are most vulnerable is doomed to collapse.
You share the same perspective, like really ? 2023? Why Is everything and everyone categorised as a"problem" or "issue"
Surely that doesn't depreciate ones value as a living , breathing soul, if this is humanity, I dread to imagine the world 1-2 generations from now. Utterly tragic and really heartbreaking. I hope those who found this really emotive , can come together to create something that will work going forward. Like for real, how many empty homes, apartments even hotel rooms , each and every night . Where is the charity and "movement" behind this ? Meghan , Harry? This is where there must be help, real palpable and prolonged help, the kind that ought to already be established to ensure those most at risk are not only "seen" but are "caught" and given a hand up not a hand out , arming them with real life skills, that can equip them through the hardships and to the other side where there is light, there is possibilities aplenty!
And yet , instead of thriving and Living , too many folks are merely existing.
that's not okay! For too long the unacceptable has become the accepted.
There ough to be a health and social care reform that really does look at this and come up with an alternative plan, not every person will fit the set mould and it's tragic to me that it seems all is so quickly , too quickly (!) giving in and giving up.
Where is the light in an otherwise darkened life? Where is the humanity and hope ?

MAGA moron republicans
America has freedom like this, and it tries to sell it to other countries lol
Have you ever considered these people probably went to the hospital everytime they couldnt find a good spot to sleep… its not a hotel.
A friend was homeless. He had a heart defect. He was in Dallas,Tx. He was a vet. He was having heart pains so he went to the VA hospital in Dallas. They knew he was homeless. They told him that he was just looking for food and a warm bed. They demanded that he leave. They were rude and condescending. They set him an appointment later that week. He dropped dead on the street just a few days later. If they would have listened to him and checked it out, he would probably still be alive today. VA sucks.
Yeah and often times homeless people get more sick then anyone I think in some situations they are just looking for a warm bed but if your out in the element's for that long it can take a toll on you and sometimes they don't want to deal with them because some of those bed spaces are needed for people that just got shot.
They also don't care if your a woman and some guy just beat the hell out of you as long as he wasn't strangling you or you didn't die. What's worse is some of these nurses were women you think they would have stepped up but if there's men controling the hospital sometimes they can't they have to consider the suspects reputation before your safety I really do hope they start holding some of these hospitals accountable because they hire the wrong people that have probably never been attacked before so of course there not going to care if someone gives you a concussion because it happened to you and not them.
I’m sorry for your loss
Sad that 1st he was homeless then the staff denied him help as if the food the hospital patients eat are being bought by this staff members. Sad he died as a result of dumbfks at the hospital
Very sad
That's beyond disgusting. As with our Vets they don't get the treatment they deserve. If you risk your life for your Country and come home, you should never have to worry about money again. A vet was sweeping floors at Walmart! Wtf! He should have been in his home, feet up and never have to work again. Our Government is imagine yours is similar they leave office never having to worry about money with the monies they will receive until they die. They do nothing useful, at least not for Canadians in Eastern Canada.
They teach them things that they never get over. Then have to fight veteran affairs for what's rightfully theirs. So wrong. I've dated a wonderful man but the effects of what he saw and went through he needed isolation. My friend tells me things when he's drinking which is a lot because he's not able to cope with what he's reliving in his head. It's sad. Our governments need a rehaul of the laws and looking after the soldiers the elderly and single mothers and fathers who didn't expect to be raising little humans alone.
Isn't this considered elderly abuse?
They should be shut down for this.
Former nurse case manager here… this happens everywhere around the country. It goes back to money; once insurance start denying to cover the hospitalization bills, the hospital have to pick up the tab. If the social workers there cannot find a placement for the patient, they end up dumping the patient. This happens often to the homeless and elderly!
Shameful!!! That poor mother who died after the interview -- how much did stress & heart break add to her demise. It's disgusting
I thought the same
Yes your sick and can't look after your son who gets dumped on the street and then you die an awful death. So tragic.
😊obviously not enough for you to go help
They will stand before God answering for what they done
Yes, she said he was left a year before. So that had to weigh on her.
This is a sin. It’s so sickening and heartless to do that to the vulnerable. This healthcare system is truly broken.
The hospital in question acted criminally! Arrests need to be made immediately!
God sees everything! I hope these demons pay these horrible acts!
Capitalism fails wherever it's tried.
The healthcare isn't the problem, the problem is people. People do this to other people, punish people not system.
@sherizuech6562
Whahahahahahahahahaha yeah sure thing buddy
As a person that worked for a huge healthcare system for 20 years and helped 2 parents this past year - the healthcare system is mainly for making money. I lost my job there as they outsourced my department overseas. The US Government says it 'fixed' healthcare - I'd like to know how. More money is wasted on 'looks' than it is for making sure patient recovery happens.
The US Government spends trillions on other countries while the citizens of this country are placed next to or on the bottom of the heap. Just think what we could have. We, the US, could still help others but we need to help ourselves first so that we can help others. Neither party (healthcare/government) has proven themselves capable of regulating themselves, much less anything else.
Absolutely disgusting.
Rest in peace Ms linda Hauber. Imagine dying without knowing the outcome of injustice done to your disabled child
What 'injustice' was done to him? He was discharged from hospital after being treated. The man was clearly homeless, and his mother said she couldn't look after him. Shelters don't provide ongoing 'nursing' care, so they can't take such people either. So please explain the injustice.
@@pm2886they literally just said unloaded on the curb in the rain.....what don't u understand about injustice? That's humiliation for someone who is disabled. Pls respond when you sober up
@@CharlesWilson-oz8ys Sure, that must suck, but it's not relevant. Once you're discharged from hospital, you have to leave. No matter whether you're rich, poor, or it's raining, or sunshine. Whether it's 10am on a Tuesday, or 3am on a Sunday. You HAVE to leave.
You do realise that pretty much everyone who presents at an ER and is subsequently sent home, is leaving in some kind of sick or injured condition, right? Many are also disabled (disabled people tend to have more medical problems generally). Yet every single one of them MUST leave, as soon as they're discharged. If you're not admitted, you are not the hospital's responsibility in any way.
What you seem to be suggesting, is like expecting the restaurant you ate at, to let you stay the night because it's raining. In fact that would actually be a better idea, because restaurants don't need their staff and resources for saving lives!
@pm2886 Explain the first and second woman then?! The second woman clearly suffering and not in good health to be released.
I'll wait...
There HAS TO BE some facility that they can be transferred to! Dumping someone in the street is inhuman. I went through some heartbreaking stuff during my brother's last days in 2020. I'll never get over it.
I lost a security job over this. They made us take an old man out of the hospital because he had no insurance, ID, anything and obviously no way to pay. I stayed with him and called an ambulance to take him to a different hospital. The security company was MAAAD at me but they can eat worms for all I care. Some hospitals just care about money.
