People who are elderly or disabled all draw a disability income, those checks are sufficient to pay for an assisted living or a long term care facility, I work in a group home where everyone is intellectually disabled; They all draw a disability income , they all pay rent, their food, and clothing; HUD pays part of the rent because they can't be charged more than 10% of their income, someone is misusing these peoples money and needs to be investigated, sadly it is true that our elderly and disabled are thrown away when it becomes inconvenient for their families to take care of them.

this happens all across the country. I was homeless for many years and in 2015 I suffered a skull fracture that left me with a subdural hematoma that required brain surgery. I was in an induced coma for almost two weeks, 2 days after my discharge I had a stroke and couldn't use the left side of my body, an ambulance brought me to the very same hospital where I had my surgery, Harborview Medical Center in Seattle WA where they diagnosed me as having had a stroke. 5 hours after I had been told I had a stroke the nurses came in with some discharge paperwork and told me I had to leave. I'm 34 now, I couldn't even walk, I had 38 surgical sutures in my scalp and half my head shaved, I couldn't talk, I was too disoriented and weak to do much about it other than ask what was happening, and then tried begging them to admit me as I was homeless and sending me out in that condition to literally go lay in the street would likely kill me from infection, they looked me right in the eye and told me "sir, we aren't a hotel.." then they agreed to put me in a motel for a week.. it was a lie, they called a cab for me and sent me to one of the shelters downtown. I suppose I was lucky for that? i had to relearn how to talk, how to walk correctly, i still cant feel the left side of my face and scalp and parts of my body are numb as well. bottom line is i should have been admitted but because i was poor and homeless, they viewed me as worthless. and it happens everyday. this is real, and there is no way for people to fight it? i tried, but nobody believed me as it was my word over the hospitals word. and who is gonna believe a homeless junky over a doctor? i doubt this will stop, its only gonna get worse.
I'm sorry that happened to you, but hospitals simply CANNOT admit people just because they're homeless. If they did that, they would have no beds for the critical. When you're discharged, you must leave .. period. There are no exceptions.
I'm getting old and on disability. My dr wants to make as much money as they can off my insurance. I just went there the other day for a follow up on blood test.she said I was really bad , liver problems, high blood pressure , about 15 other things. Before I left I asked her to sign paper work so I can get my d.parking permit and my paper work for my free car plates. She said she couldn't do that because she thinks I was in pretty good health . So ! What happened to all the bad stuff they found on me
This happened to my brother. He had just woken up from a coma . We got a call at 3 a.m. , he was telling us that he was in front of the hospital. It took us a half an hour to get to him and he was in a hospital gown in a wheelchair with a port in his neck for dialysis , sitting on a sidewalk . Only one leg was able to move at that time and we were barely able to get him in the car . This was in Tennessee.
That must have been unpleasant for you all ... but it's absolutely normal. No one can stay on the premises once they're discharged. Not even for 30 minutes. The reason for that is that ER's can barely keep up with the critically ill and injured who are their focus. They have to move people out quickly, so they can get on with saving the next life.
@@pm2886 actually,it was horrendous. He had just woken from a coma ,due to him trying to commit suicide . They had sent him (in the middle of the night ) to a facility to be mentally evaluated. He walked in and was told he looked fine ,and was taken back to the hospital that had sent him . They in turn , put him on the sidewalk .
@@donnamyers2025 I've not doubt it was horrendous. Unfortunately that's how it works. It's always very important for people like your father to have someone when they need to go to the ER, so that there is clarity and understanding about all the processes. No one should be going alone. It makes things much harder for that person, and harder for doctors too.
@@pm2886 He had been in icu for days . When he woke up , we had gone home to take care of things. They sent him an hour and a half away, at 12:30 AM. Then promptly returned him to the front of the hospital at 3 . We should have sued the roof off of the dump.
I hope God takes me before I have to depend on someone else to take care of me. What this society is capable of doing to the poor or helpless is unforgivable
So people should have a community watch in front of the facilities that these poor folks are being dumped off at! Bring cameras and document the dumping, FYI you will need to hide in order to catch them!
Actually they need cops and HHS inspectors waiting at the door at those times when they are most likely to dump people. Then as they bring people out, slap the cuffs on those bastards who are dumping them!
There is supposed to be a law nation wide to protect the elderly and the disabled. These people who are dumping these people will be in the same situation someday and see exactly how it feels to be thrown away!!!
People please get energy about this! Just imagine if this was ur loved one! It could be one of us in our time of need! I’m writing the Human Resources office and whoever else I can! I’m sick by this!
This happened to me. My life is not the same. I'm always in pain. The following day after getting dumped I ended up in another ER they said that I had a severe kidney infection because I still had a catheter still inside of me. I was transported back to the hospital that did my back surgery and they had new security and the director they were very apologetic but nothing ever happened I want Justice I don't want this to ever happen to someone else do you have any clue on how to get Justice on what steps I can take?
AV Hospital just did the same thing. Antelope Valley Hospital. They wheeled a woman out to the parking lot, then literally dumped her over onto the pavement. Then turned around, and walked off, laughing. It was all caught on video.
It's happening in Rockford, IL too. Especially since mental facilities are closing down or overloading on patients. A lot of these patients usually end up getting killed or dying from no one helping them.
Wow that’s absolutely heart breaking and so cruel to think they just dump humans away like they are garbage, what is wrong with the world we live in today , why are these people not protected from places doing this . So sad . My ♡ breaks for them . 😔
Sally I am one of those. Lucky I wait till I can walk, or get my wheelchair. Then I take myself as far from the city as possible. They also follow you with creepy people even at a one in the morning dump. Mine screamed at me after the ER care, and wasted all my medication since I could not get up off sidewalk. I am full aware that when I am seventy i will be too ill to stop those injections I refuse, and they will take my life and no one ever knew they do that too. Healthcare is a responsibility towards owning a city, and country, and ability to collect fines and taxes. Do not be surprised when it bursts it is either full law to kill, or full war on the entire system with wars called ACTUAL CIVIL WARS, but I doubt that. They have silent sound deterring that right now same used in Washington to stop crowds.
Anyone wishing to question their actions you may do so by your right to free speech. Anyone wishing to contact the news media for their refusal to present a truthful story, not fake, call and ask WHY NOT? Anyone wishing to contact the City offices and AV YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO AND QUESTION TRUTH NOT STORIES/FICTION. We all hope the Veterans who fought to maintain our rights are monitoring the outcome. Our group of combat veterans are!
I really did not know they did stuff like this I’m just now seeing this today with the story on how they dumped a women on the streets while having a seizure
They also treat patients like garbage, my father in law was treated poorly, a veteran and I spoke up after he would not wake up when I went to visit, I asked when he was last awake, had he eaten, etc. no answers, no one knew, excuse was they just Chan aged shifts, I finally called 911 because he was not responding well, they got angry but I am glad I did, his kidneys were shutting down from an infection, they ignored him, they had food on his table that was not touched, they were not monitoring what or if he could eat, it was horrible, we took him from hospital to hospice, because he was deteriorating, we don’t know if it was because of what they neglected or it was his time, he was 96 but that should not matter, he deserved dignity and respect, what if it was someone who was not getting daily visitors, then they would have suffered and died that way.
Patient dumping?? But yet multi billion dollar medical industry cant do anything about it...i know its more to it...i get it. Whatever i just wanted to comment
lauralishes1 This is the United States. We only represent a part of continent of America. North America, Central America and South America are one complete Continent. This is why we are called "*The United States OF America*"
Is this story freely lingering because of what was fabricated declares spokesperson at Antelope Valley Hospital. AV Watchman and a Pastor say different than Hospital spokesman says its their policy of discharge and if patient is combative security will assist because of safety for staff and over 200, 000 patients. People should watch that video and decide if it was fabricated...antelope valley ca. AV Watchman...js.
Then who is lying?! AV Hospital's response to the story was these auditors 'staged' it. Until an additional clip was revealed. The first things the auditors saw -- security and staff were dumping her out of the wheelchair. Now the 'staged' story doesn't hold up. New AV Hospital director met with local FOX 11 news, after 11 had filmed the 2 auditors and that 10:00 news story was "tabled". The two auditors and three others present were arrested for "trespass" on the public sidewalk and the next day additionally charged with making threats. AV Hospital took down social media accounts and along with AVSO stalked journalists. There are numerous videos out about these points.
Patient dumping happens far too often. Has been happening with private hospitals worried about the bottom line, burned out staff persons taking out their anger on difficult patients. If that woman was being violently combative, they should have put her in a seclusion room. If needed restraints (4 point or 2 point restraints can be used , and meds given). I think in the case of this woman, she was likely a difficult patient and the staff was taking their anger out on her by dumping her. She maybe a frequent flier, but if so they should have made her more stable and released her with dignity. But the woman may have been having a seizure(s). If so she should not have been released. I saw the video. The staff involved were wrong to dump this patient. It is wrong to dump any patient. The staff put this lady in harm's way, and used poor judgement and lack of a decent standard of care in this case.
@@1houndgal see EMTALA regulations. Federal mandate that patients must be released in a secure and safe place. THIS ACTION BY AV HOSPITAL IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL MANDATE. UNLESS IT'S NOT TRUE. AND I WATCHED LIVE... AV HOSPITAL IS ATTEMPTING TO COVER UP THEIR CRIME.
if you are homeless and sick they will patient dump you. this happened to me. the hospital could not find a place to dump in so they took me in an ambulance to a mental unit and i have no mental issues. the mental unit could only keep me for 5 days and they dump me into a homeless shelter. and then after a few days that shelter will dump you into another shelter. then you get very sick and go into the emergency room and you start this game all over again. i have diabetes and complications from it.
True, and has been happening every day in America for many years. Too many people are abusing our most helpless and vulnerable citizens. th-cam.com/video/RQRhiBTx-RE/w-d-xo.html
Wow, this is just unforgivable! This is how our society treats our elders! This is wrong in so many ways! Shame on the nursing home facilities who do this! It seems it's all about the all mighty dollar to them, shame on you!!!!
Do you know how many people dump their relatives like that?! I work with elderly dementia, and some families can care less about their elderly parents.. no compassion 🥺
It certainly is a difficult issue. If you operate a private facility, you are doing it to make money. You have to pay your bills, your staff, your insurance and so on. So yes, if a person cannot pay eventually you have to evict them otherwise you go bankrupt and the complete facility closes. But there certainly should be processes in place that sets up these displaced people in a save environment.
This is an increasing problem. And there just aren't enough facilities to house all these people who can't pay. Blame social decay. People not being financially responsible, and families not supporting each other. It's getting worse, too. More and more of those who believed the seductive lie the they didn't have to plan ahead (because daddy govt would take care of them), are finding out that was all BS. Choosing to believe the lie is the error though .. because plenty of people never believed it. It was always a very obvious lie.
I'm a cna and what's sad is they will dump patients when the money is gone, or insurance changes coverage,yet a man who physically and sexually assaulted us care givers daily remained in our facility here for 3mnths until his fam8ly found another facility that would take him after all bad reports on him,why??? Because his family laid cash for his expenses every month. Yet others who needed us and our care are left with nothing once the payments become issues.i know it's a business like any other its money,but ur dealing with human life,this health system needs to get it together
"Causing people to suffer because you hate them... is terrible. But causing people to suffer because you have forgotten how to care... that's really hard to understand" - Dr. Julian Bashir, Star Trek, Deep Space Nine, airing in 1995. He was commenting on the dumping of people who have no job or money in walled off districts in a near-future (to the then-audience) 2020's America. Sometimes, science fiction comes true in the very worst ways.

Hospitals and nursing homes a money hungry business. It's about money in America that's why even the public is trained to shun universal healthcare.
Absolutely. The people who dump these patients are as culpable as their employers.
The nursing homes have a license, take the license. No law is needed.
But how do you get everyone out and into different homes. It would have to be like a tornado evacuation.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but hospitals simply CANNOT admit people just because they're homeless. If they did that, they would have no beds for the critical. When you're discharged, you must leave .. period. There are no exceptions.
I'm getting old and on disability. My dr wants to make as much money as they can off my insurance. I just went there the other day for a follow up on blood test.she said I was really bad , liver problems, high blood pressure , about 15 other things. Before I left I asked her to sign paper work so I can get my d.parking permit and my paper work for my free car plates. She said she couldn't do that because she thinks I was in pretty good health . So ! What happened to all the bad stuff they found on me
This is why I'm never dumping my parents in a nursing home when they get old
How about an update!! Anyone held responsible yet?? Pretty sad.
This is a disgrace and a outrage ! These hospitals should be sued !
Yes. Sued and put out of business permantly.
This happened to my brother. He had just woken up from a coma . We got a call at 3 a.m. , he was telling us that he was in front of the hospital. It took us a half an hour to get to him and he was in a hospital gown in a wheelchair with a port in his neck for dialysis , sitting on a sidewalk . Only one leg was able to move at that time and we were barely able to get him in the car . This was in Tennessee.
Gi Gi thank you . It was horrible . Can’t believe that so called medical professionals, would behave like that .
That must have been unpleasant for you all ... but it's absolutely normal. No one can stay on the premises once they're discharged. Not even for 30 minutes. The reason for that is that ER's can barely keep up with the critically ill and injured who are their focus. They have to move people out quickly, so they can get on with saving the next life.
@@pm2886 actually,it was horrendous. He had just woken from a coma ,due to him trying to commit suicide . They had sent him (in the middle of the night ) to a facility to be mentally evaluated. He walked in and was told he looked fine ,and was taken back to the hospital that had sent him . They in turn , put him on the sidewalk .
@@donnamyers2025 I've not doubt it was horrendous. Unfortunately that's how it works. It's always very important for people like your father to have someone when they need to go to the ER, so that there is clarity and understanding about all the processes. No one should be going alone. It makes things much harder for that person, and harder for doctors too.
@@pm2886 He had been in icu for days . When he woke up , we had gone home to take care of things. They sent him an hour and a half away, at 12:30 AM. Then promptly returned him to the front of the hospital at 3 . We should have sued the roof off of the dump.
I hope God takes me before I have to depend on someone else to take care of me. What this society is capable of doing to the poor or helpless is unforgivable
Honestly, Ive prayed this prayer for myself to.
So people should have a community watch in front of the facilities that these poor folks are being dumped off at! Bring cameras and document the dumping, FYI you will need to hide in order to catch them!
Actually they need cops and HHS inspectors waiting at the door at those times when they are most likely to dump people. Then as they bring people out, slap the cuffs on those bastards who are dumping them!
There is supposed to be a law nation wide to protect the elderly and the disabled. These people who are dumping these people will be in the same situation someday and see exactly how it feels to be thrown away!!!
I don't ever want to be old and in someone's else's mercy!!
Likely they won't be becasue they worked and contributed tosociety.
@@earlgreco8636 As brutal as that sounds, it's true. This only happens to people who never planned ahead for old age.
People please get energy about this! Just imagine if this was ur loved one! It could be one of us in our time of need! I’m writing the Human Resources office and whoever else I can! I’m sick by this!
locals can work on state/local laws. It take civic action at times. Vote your conscience
This happened to me. My life is not the same. I'm always in pain. The following day after getting dumped I ended up in another ER they said that I had a severe kidney infection because I still had a catheter still inside of me. I was transported back to the hospital that did my back surgery and they had new security and the director they were very apologetic but nothing ever happened I want Justice I don't want this to ever happen to someone else do you have any clue on how to get Justice on what steps I can take?
We need to get it together!!! This is Fucked up and embarrassing SMH😿
People need to speak more about the rights of the disabled
Yes, their families. Their families need to advocate for them, and always accompany them on doctor visits etc.
AV Hospital just did the same thing. Antelope Valley Hospital. They wheeled a woman out to the parking lot, then literally dumped her over onto the pavement. Then turned around, and walked off, laughing. It was all caught on video.
THIS HORROR IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THROWING A BAG OF KITTENS IN THE STREET FOR CARS TO RUN OVER!!! SOBs!!!!
Well except that humans are more valuable than animals.
Only according to humans.
@@kaycampbell8532 and GOD. Who created MAN in His image.
Your not even suppose to dump dogs at the pound after hours!!
Endangering vulnerable persons. Some people need to be taught a swift, painful lesson. With extreme prejudice.
It's happening in Rockford, IL too. Especially since mental facilities are closing down or overloading on patients. A lot of these patients usually end up getting killed or dying from no one helping them.
This just happened again
A.A.Hospial...on.Friday Night..check it out..
Those Facilities Should Be Prosecuted Guilty Prison
I’m sure if that was there Love Ones it would be Different!
Wow that’s absolutely heart breaking and so cruel to think they just dump humans away like they are garbage, what is wrong with the world we live in today , why are these people not protected from places doing this . So sad . My ♡ breaks for them . 😔
Sally I am one of those. Lucky I wait till I can walk, or get my wheelchair. Then I take myself as far from the city as possible. They also follow you with creepy people even at a one in the morning dump. Mine screamed at me after the ER care, and wasted all my medication since I could not get up off sidewalk. I am full aware that when I am seventy i will be too ill to stop those injections I refuse, and they will take my life and no one ever knew they do that too. Healthcare is a responsibility towards owning a city, and country, and ability to collect fines and taxes. Do not be surprised when it bursts it is either full law to kill, or full war on the entire system with wars called ACTUAL CIVIL WARS, but I doubt that. They have silent sound deterring that right now same used in Washington to stop crowds.
I didn't believe it, but I guess it's true, I seen the auditors video, and couldn't believe it. This has got to stop.
This is heartbreaking. I hate how cruel this planet is.
They should be charged with abandonment!
Anyone wishing to question their actions you may do so by your right to free speech. Anyone wishing to contact the news media for their refusal to present a truthful story, not fake, call and ask WHY NOT? Anyone wishing to contact the City offices and AV YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO AND QUESTION TRUTH NOT STORIES/FICTION. We all hope the Veterans who fought to maintain our rights are monitoring the outcome. Our group of combat veterans are!
She has MS?? And you dumped her off? I'm sick to my core.
I really did not know they did stuff like this I’m just now seeing this today with the story on how they dumped a women on the streets while having a seizure
A facility I formally worked at dumped a patient on the corner and the director was no more (terminated) they didn’t play that.
What happened to duty of care? My goodness!!
Girlfromdownunder It’s called corporate do ra,me.
I have never heard of such a thing! Crying right now.
So sad... how there are Soo many heartless ppl....
Florida is the worst and they do nothing. It's happened to me.
Edit: I HATE MS.
They also treat patients like garbage, my father in law was treated poorly, a veteran and I spoke up after he would not wake up when I went to visit, I asked when he was last awake, had he eaten, etc. no answers, no one knew, excuse was they just Chan aged shifts, I finally called 911 because he was not responding well, they got angry but I am glad I did, his kidneys were shutting down from an infection, they ignored him, they had food on his table that was not touched, they were not monitoring what or if he could eat, it was horrible, we took him from hospital to hospice, because he was deteriorating, we don’t know if it was because of what they neglected or it was his time, he was 96 but that should not matter, he deserved dignity and respect, what if it was someone who was not getting daily visitors, then they would have suffered and died that way.
Patient dumping?? But yet multi billion dollar medical industry cant do anything about it...i know its more to it...i get it. Whatever i just wanted to comment
MOney is God now. It was predicted.
Lying, greedy bastards. I know co's have to make money, but HUGE corporations and the Oligarchy need to somehow work on this NOT HAPPENING>
Thank you for reporting this
This is America for you. Sickening
lauralishes1 This is the United States. We only represent a part of continent of America. North America, Central America and South America are one complete Continent. This is why we are called "*The United States OF America*"
Jupiter Stars And?
It happens all the time in San Diego
Absolutely horrifying. 😢😢😢
Just shameful. Can she sue them? If she can, she should.
I never heard of such a thing. This is disgusting. This should never happen in this country. I hope she sues.
She needs an attorney so she can SUE THEIR ASS!!
Unbelievable and mind boggling!!!!!
This is HORRIBLE!! What's wrong with people today?!
That's just sick. My husband was in a nursing home and I'm pretty sure they were good to him because the only thing he complained about was the food.
Is this story freely lingering because of what was fabricated declares spokesperson at Antelope Valley Hospital. AV Watchman and a Pastor say different than Hospital spokesman says its their policy of discharge and if patient is combative security will assist because of safety for staff and over 200, 000 patients. People should watch that video and decide if it was fabricated...antelope valley ca. AV Watchman...js.
Not fabricated! video showed her dumped out of wheel chair onto cement!
Then who is lying?! AV Hospital's response to the story was these auditors 'staged' it. Until an additional clip was revealed. The first things the auditors saw -- security and staff were dumping her out of the wheelchair. Now the 'staged' story doesn't hold up. New AV Hospital director met with local FOX 11 news, after 11 had filmed the 2 auditors and that 10:00 news story was "tabled". The two auditors and three others present were arrested for "trespass" on the public sidewalk and the next day additionally charged with making threats. AV Hospital took down social media accounts and along with AVSO stalked journalists. There are numerous videos out about these points.
Patient dumping happens far too often. Has been happening with private hospitals worried about the bottom line, burned out staff persons taking out their anger on difficult patients. If that woman was being violently combative, they should have put her in a seclusion room. If needed restraints (4 point or 2 point restraints can be used , and meds given).
I think in the case of this woman, she was likely a difficult patient and the staff was taking their anger out on her by dumping her. She maybe a frequent flier, but if so they should have made her more stable and released her with dignity. But the woman may have been having a seizure(s). If so she should not have been released. I saw the video. The staff involved were wrong to dump this patient. It is wrong to dump any patient. The staff put this lady in harm's way, and used poor judgement and lack of a decent standard of care in this case.
@@1houndgal see EMTALA regulations. Federal mandate that patients must be released in a secure and safe place.
THIS ACTION BY AV HOSPITAL IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL MANDATE. UNLESS IT'S NOT TRUE. AND I WATCHED LIVE... AV HOSPITAL IS ATTEMPTING TO COVER UP THEIR CRIME.
Patient dumping isnt a new phenomenon.......it has been happening for years.
That poor lady. That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen!
if you are homeless and sick they will patient dump you. this happened to me. the hospital could not find a place to dump in so they took me in an ambulance to a mental unit and i have no mental issues. the mental unit could only keep me for 5 days and they dump me into a homeless shelter. and then after a few days that shelter will dump you into another shelter. then you get very sick and go into the emergency room and you start this game all over again. i have diabetes and complications from it.
That is Dispicable but it happens more often then we know
the hidden victims. No money, no attention.
True, and has been happening every day in America for many years. Too many people are abusing our most helpless and vulnerable citizens.
th-cam.com/video/RQRhiBTx-RE/w-d-xo.html
State survey pending is it? They need to shut the home down.
We have lost our humanity.
Thank you for exposing this so sad so very sad😒
Any place that does that should lose their license
I can not believe this, my goodness, this is so awful, these poor patients. Something needs to be done, this should not be allowed.
Morals for some in this country are nonexistent. Shame on anyone who's done this!
The state of Illinois needs to shut that nursing home down. A new law of the federal patient protection act needs to be created. This is unacceptable
In Oz it is illegal to discharge a patient without them having accomodation!
The US is SCREWED, and you couldn't pay me to go there!
This is just unbelievably horrid.How can u just throw ppl away like this?.All for the love of money.God help us all.
Please Share ~This Has to STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s hurts my heart 😔
Places that patient dump should be shut down.
Patient dumping should be a felony.
I hope these people can sue.
If it was CA they call it a hoax. Lol.
Doesn’t surprise me Chicago in my opinion is Heartless.and California is dumping these sick people like trash, too.
Wow, this is just unforgivable! This is how our society treats our elders! This is wrong in so many ways! Shame on the nursing home facilities who do this! It seems it's all about the all mighty dollar to them, shame on you!!!!
Poor woman. Ms is difficult enough as it is. I'm so sad for her. That's awful.
Do you know how many people dump their relatives like that?! I work with elderly dementia, and some families can care less about their elderly parents.. no compassion 🥺
Is this for real?! Sending people out of town, alone?!?!
Oh. My. God 😡😡😡
This is unconscionable.
I have never heard of such a thing till now. Horrible and inhumane!
A Dave D I saw the video-called HR too. I was triggered!
This triggers me to.
It certainly is a difficult issue. If you operate a private facility, you are doing it to make money. You have to pay your bills, your staff, your insurance and so on. So yes, if a person cannot pay eventually you have to evict them otherwise you go bankrupt and the complete facility closes. But there certainly should be processes in place that sets up these displaced people in a save environment.
This is an increasing problem. And there just aren't enough facilities to house all these people who can't pay.
Blame social decay. People not being financially responsible, and families not supporting each other. It's getting worse, too. More and more of those who believed the seductive lie the they didn't have to plan ahead (because daddy govt would take care of them), are finding out that was all BS. Choosing to believe the lie is the error though .. because plenty of people never believed it. It was always a very obvious lie.
WTH is going on?! Pure evil!!
They treated her like she had no value and that's how they look at you, how much you got, and how much they can get.
I'm a cna and what's sad is they will dump patients when the money is gone, or insurance changes coverage,yet a man who physically and sexually assaulted us care givers daily remained in our facility here for 3mnths until his fam8ly found another facility that would take him after all bad reports on him,why??? Because his family laid cash for his expenses every month. Yet others who needed us and our care are left with nothing once the payments become issues.i know it's a business like any other its money,but ur dealing with human life,this health system needs to get it together
I JUST GOT DONE WATCHING THE HORRIBLE VIDEO OF ANTELOPE VALLEY HOSPITAL. I'M GLAD THOSE AUDITORS CAUGHT IT ON CAMERA.
WHAT WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE DUMPING OUT PEOPLE LIKE THIS. THESE PEOPLE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WITH FEELINGS AND HEALTH CONDITIONS. SO VERY SAD SISITUTION.
Are there no security cameras right outside the gates.
This is abandonment!
Where are the families?!
Not everyone has families. I know a lot of people who came from abusive homes or whose parents passed away and left them with no family. It’s sad.
"Causing people to suffer because you hate them... is terrible. But causing people to suffer because you have forgotten how to care... that's really hard to understand" - Dr. Julian Bashir, Star Trek, Deep Space Nine, airing in 1995. He was commenting on the dumping of people who have no job or money in walled off districts in a near-future (to the then-audience) 2020's America. Sometimes, science fiction comes true in the very worst ways.
That sad dumping people
That's unconscionable
Evil. Monstrous.
