Unfortunately we aren’t treated well. I’m a Navy Veteran and I will say the VA is very slow and disorganized. 1 appointment wait time can be 3 months away and the appointment will always have you waiting for another consultation. I had a back injury and I had to wait 2 years to get a consultation. It’s very sad
@@H-TownVibesthis makes me so angry. the VA is overworked so what NEEDS to happen is veterans should be able to go to any hospital, doctors office, or clinic and have there be a system docs can look up to confirm the patient is a veteran and the country foots the bill in totality. surely some of our insane military budget can go towards covering the medical expenses of people who fought for our country.
you don't want to know the BS I had to go through to get my dads records from Vietnam to prove that they stationed him in at least 3{!} locations that got sprayed by Agent Orange. Thank god for congressional staffers that care and can light a fire under the VA and FOIA.
As the son of a Vietnam veteran Marine, I agree with you. My dad told me many times as a kid that, when he returned to the States in '69, all he wanted to do was "get on with his life". He's healed a lot since then and has even visited Vietnam twice in the last decade. He's found his closure, and he gets good care from the VA, but it's wrong that they weren't treated better then rather than so many years having to pass before they'd receive some modicum of respect.
My dad was in Vietnam, same as this fictional soldier. They couldn't safely wear their uniforms through airports without being spit on and attacked by "peaceful protesters." None of them wanted to be there. Dad enlisted in the Air Force because he was drafted into the Army. He and my mom figured that he had a better chance of coming back alive in the Air Force even though it was a longer commitment. They didn't have enough money to buy a car so he could get to school and hitchhiking 15 miles down the interstate just wasn't reliable transportation, so he lost his student deferment and the Army came knocking the next day. Those "protesters" were the ones with enough money to hide out in Canada or stay in college then graduate school getting multiple degrees until they were safe from the draft. Now they're the congressmen and senators who don't give half a gnat's arse about whether vets have proper healthcare.

Lol. Ok. The first Sergeant in that room would have that place cleared in three seconds on a bad day. The most unbelievable part of this episode is that you had thirty cops in an ICU being stupid.
Add pulmonary embolism to that. I was walking through my kitchen a few minutes before midnight on my way to the back door to let my dog back inside. Next thing I know, I wake up in the floor, leaning against a kitchen cabinet, a can of dog food digging into my back, covered in sweat and gasping for air. My dog was right outside the door raising twenty different kinds of hell trying to get in. I assume he smelled that something was wrong, because he had been deaf as a stone for over three years by then. Fortunately, I had my phone in my pocket and hadn't broken it when I fell. Called someone to let the dog in but refused to go to the hospital that night. The next night, almost 24 hours later I finally conceded that I could barely breathe and went to the ER. I had a saddle PE, which is the worst type of PE that it's possible to have. It blocks bloodflow to both sides of your lungs and keeps your brain from getting oxygen. I had zero of the normal symptoms, but my right leg was almost a solid blood clot. It most likely threw the clot that went to my lungs. When I fell, the clot likely shifted enough to let a trickle of blood through, enough to let me regain consciousness rather than die in the floor. Every pulmonogist I talked to at the hospital said I shouldn't have survived because that was "the widowmaker of the pulmonary world." The only "symptom" I had was feeling a little more tired than usual, but who doesn't feel tired sometimes? I'm extremely lucky that it happened while I was at home and not driving. Or engaging in any of my hobbies that involve propane torches or soldering irons. I'll be on blood thinners the rest of my life because they don't know what caused the clots in the first place. There's a decent chance that it's an extremely rare genetic blood cancer that my grandmother had, but there's no real treatment for it. Staying in the blood thinners is the really the only option there too. Anyway, at least I was home and not in a position to kill myself or anyone else that night.
Yeah i had a stroke while eating lunch at a restaurant when i was only 34 years old. I didn't even realised i had a stroke. I thought i was daydreaming. I can see, hear, smell, feel and think perfectly fine but i can't speak and move. When the paramedics say i might have a stroke, i didn't even believe it coz i thought it was an old people's disease. Only when i was in the ICU and several doctors say i have a stroke, that i realised, i had a stroke...
I get that, but he knew he had a condition shouldn't have been driving. He does deserve better and is owed the best. Please don't misunderstand my thinking it's just my father was killed by a drunk driver 3 months before I was born. I know he wasn't drinking just that I feel he should have know better than to drive. I'm so.glad this doctor helped him he so deserved it!!! If he had it this probably wouldn't have happen. Sad on both sides.
There was a cop near where I lived a few years ago that had a stroke behind the wheel while on duty. Went out of control in an intersection near a school and hit another car. Luckily no one was hurt, but it could have been so much worse.
@@dominika4009 Who's to say he didn't? the medicine prescribed for seizures or other neurological diseases aren't foolproof. even if he did everything right he still could have a seizure.
@@Wolverine1987 Well that’s just stupid. He shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all because he has a 1% chance of having a seizure or stroke? I’m betting you have more than a 1% chance of having a heart attack while driving, and yet you drive all the time.
DR. Goodwin did a fabulous job at containing the angry crowd of cops even for big officers he was Able to be firm, professional, patient, compassionate , and calm… I’m happy Officer Angelo Rossetti came around and treated the veteran with kindness after the tragic incident because you can see the vet didn’t wanna hurt her… A stroke can happen to anyone at any time all around tragic for everyone involved 💔
No not me 😭 I just lived nextdoor to the Onions Factory and I have allergies ,yes I have allergies and I'm sticking to my story . LOL 😂 okay I admitted I did cried. I'm a grown country guy living in America 60 years old.
Veterans NEED to be treated better. They deserve full health insurance to go anywhere they wish. Half of our homeless are veterans who possibly have had PTSD and or who got sick from their time serving.
Sadly, this is all too true of the VA hospital system m. My Dad is veteran and work for the VA in supply management for years. While, some benefits have come from increased privatization it has come at tremendous cost often to quality and access in many ways.
This is one of the biggest problems with the saying "Brothers in Blue" they want revenge when one of their own get hurt but go about it the wrong way, wanting revenge instead of justice I know it's hard to suppress emotions, but officers need to maintain professionalism at all times because they technically represent the law, so they need to be held to a higher standard than normal people
So if a dui driver killed your whole family and only got lets say 2 years jail and 10 years probation that would be fair to you???? ( i made up the years ). your not a man if you dont want revenge killing
@@michaelmason5562 the DUI driver was sent to jail though in your scenario, from that point onward, you can't really do anything without getting in trouble yourself and the guy had a tumor he couldn't get treated because he was screwed over medically, you're saying the guy should be punished and blamed for that
I thought it was a bucket of flowers 🌺🌹 and or bucket of gold coins he saved when police officers was a little kid growing up. Until I saw paper money sticking out almost to end .
Revenge is a selfish decision, and when you make selfish decisions lie that, you're not only hurting yourself, but, you could also be hurting the people around you. Your actions have a way of effecting others.
This is how our veterans are treated everyday! I'm the daughter of a Vietnam vet - and we're lucky bc we're a military family with lots of resources; but the red tape around getting our service men & women the proper & efficient healthcare that they served & fought for is shameful! Say what you want abt President Obama, but he put certain things in place that has paid and will continue to pay service member their proper benefits. Veterans paid decades of back pay that they we owed bc of those laws that President Obama pushed so hard for that REPUBLICANS voted against - just bc they wanted him to fail! Never forget that part when the right is screaming Patriotism!
I am a disabled veteran. Under Obama‘s leadership I was denied any privileges as a veteran. When President Trump got in office, I was able to walk without pain or a limp again. Obama‘s administration would’ve had me walking on a disabled leg for years and years. Under Trumps administration, the wait time at the VA went from 18 months for a doctors appointment down to six weeks. And this is at the largest VA facility in the nation. Obama fired half a million troops during his reign of terror as our president. I was one of them. I respect the office. But I hate the person Obama. If you wanna see Obama‘s legacy, I dare you to walk downtown Los Angeles. Understand that almost every person that you see that’s homeless on the streets are veterans that were pushed out by Obama and the corrupt system that he created.
@@judahschultz I wanted to share that it seems IN THIS ConText all democrats do is brag helping Illegal and Refugees and they don't seem to spend money on Veterans.
My grandpa was denied Military Services Veterans Hospital in 2011 and died in Nursing home without any Alzheimer's memory Care Treatment 100 miles away from grandparents house and tried to get more Medical Insurance but had to use grandma Medical Insurance Company under Public schools kindergarten cooking school and Little family restaurant to help paying for regular Nursing home treatments but he died anyway in Nursing home and had to asked for family members help in several States. What did Obama and Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton ever did to innocent American military Services members absolutely nothing for regular Americans black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor regular Christian people and nothing for the rest of the Americans military Services members trying to get into Veteran Hospital and Obama and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden has been killing innocent American people and kids and babies and killing innocent military Services members. ObamaCare cost American people $100 thousands dollars to start ObamaCare Insurance and others overseas countries people and others American people aren't even paying for ObamaCare Insurance since it a Socialist Insurance to adding cost to the rest of the healthy Americans taxpayers paying for others people who aren't even hurt badly than regular Americans black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor people and kids and babies and military Services members are dying off by Demoncratic Party's Socialist Dictatorship Insurance Company called Fraudulent Care ObamaCare Insurance is still ripping regular Christian Americans people and kids and babies and military Services members of different branches of military Services.
I would love to know why our families members military Services members and Veterans Hospital not being care for. There is no money for our veterans hospital and no money for Military Services Veterans Nursing home. And it's totally ill responsibility and totally disrespectful towards Veterans Hospital and military Services members. It was a no brainier that dictator Demoncrats Party's Terrorists criminals corruption Organization Group normalizing being the most Hatred towards REAL American black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor regular Christian Republican Party Military Services Veterans and regular Republican Party people in America wasn't even putting in America First Policy . Why are Demoncratic Party people Soo hateful towards REAL American people and military Services members and hating America flag and hating America U.S. Constitution and Constitutional Republic LAW and Declaration of Independence and Amendment Rights LAWS and against God's LAWS of 10 commandments and Common sense TRUTH rules and Jesus Christ and Prayers and Bibles and Pledge to the America flag.
”We take care of our own.“ Every Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman, LEO, Firefighter, or Paramedic can relate to those words. We are aware that the nation rewards us with mediocre incentives and scraps for ruining ourselves for them. Hospitals will examine our wounds and, instead of performing one or more operations that could put us back in place, they will prefer to give us a lifetime of medication and visits. Ultimately, the only people we can truly trust are those who wore the same uniform, and know the burden of war.
It was the right thing to say because she told the cop the reason for him being in there in the first place, cop didn't want to listen because he needed his revenge, that is until he was told the truth by the Doctor, so her saying "Have some compassion" is perfectly right.
@@ConnorReynolds784 doesn't that go again HIPAA laws though? Honestly what should've happened was that they kicked the officer out of the hospital. Just because he was the partner of the one who was hurt doesn't mean he HAD to be there.
@@frostfang7906 if that was the case then she broke HIPPA regardless because she told the cop the guy had a stroke. And I’m not arguing about the cop’s reaction to finding the person that caused the accident that put his partner in the hospital. Which was wrong but I can understand why he reacted the way he did. Because I’d be furious too, don’t act like you wouldn’t be either. I’m talking about the doctor’s poor choice of words by telling the cop to “have some compassion”. Because as I said to another commenter, that’s the equivalent of telling someone who’s angry to calm down. Which is the last thing you want to say to get a person to calm down.
the cops rep was like he was just upset he wasnt trying to do anything to that driver. really cuz from my angle it took 6 people to hold him back from killing the guy
This kept getting recommended to me and ignored it but now im glad i watched it. Anyone know how the episode ends does the Vet get to go to surgery and everything?
He said it would be handled. Probably had the officer's Sergeant stop by to have a few off the books words with him about decorum while at the hospital or in uniform.
Our vets deserve better... It makes my blood boil to know that some who serve get screwed and others who didn't are able to game the system so it stays rigged. Our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles deserve BETTER!
@@sergeantzack1106 no what ?, you don’t think that if something happens one 👮♀️ , the other cops Don’t let their Anger overwhelm them?? Get retribution for one of their own??
I know that this could happen. My grandfather is a Vietnam Veteran and about 30 years ago the government decided not to allow veterans to get their teeth cleaned and my grandfather wanted dental coverage so he at that time was working for the state of Kansas so he went and got health insurance thru the state lucky for him about 2 to 3 months later he had a heart attack . The state paid 80 percent of the bill and the VA paid the rest . If he had not got the state employee insurance he would have had to pay about 25 percent of the bill which was not quite 30000 dollars all together. Of course the silliest thing was that the state insurance provider tried not to pay the 600 dollars for the ambulance ride until we pointed out that he had a heart attack in the hospital 2 hours later.
god this is hard, good advice, thank you for taking the time to do this vid, but worse come to worse, im going Jane Doe to build physical team, also like her design n play style. I hope RNGesus will grant me both character along with their disc drive, oops gettin greedy here bt cant help ut
When people we care about are hurt it's human to want to blame something. It's always important to see the other side of things, because the problems - what's to blame - isn't always clear or easy to see.
I’m sorry, but the cop had no right to just say get out of the way you know it doesn’t matter that you’re a police officer are your lawyer, or a judge or a doctor or a nurse? It doesn’t matter they treat their patients all the same just because you’re a cop you don’t get the highroad of heaven for real you were like every other patient, so please respect that there are other people dying as well just because you’re a cop does not make you entitled entitled.
This is an interesting episode, ive never seen this show but makes me want to watch. This cop is a POS for sure. If they told him that this man had a stroke when driving AND he's a Veteran and he still wants to hurt him??? Why...like this is cops get a bad name for stuff like this when they are good guys wrapped up in there own stupidity. As a young black male, I understand stereotypes but this definitely highlights a living in both worlds situation to see why things are the way they are now unfortunately..... It gets better at the end because obviously he learns but still.... like cmon man it's obvious he's not okay.
People under stress do stupid things all of the time, imagine you are in a position where a close relative is injured in a hit and run, wouldn't you be angry ? This actually shows that the Cop is not a POS he's just upset, but the reality as you see at the end is he has the maturity and decency to think what would his partner have done and acts acordingly.
First off, he didn't know he was a vet with medical issues in the beginning. Second, it has nothing to do with race, of course a race baiter would think different. If i was that cop and if any race hit my partner, I would be emotional too. You would too. It is about the injust that the veterans suffer from the VA system. Once the officer knew he was a veteran then they knew that had to take care of their own.
@@junbun3642 @junbun3642 he knew about the medical issues when they said something, they bought him in and they said he wasn't intoxicated.....he wanted to attack him regardless of what he knew about the guy.... Him being a vet In this situation doesn't even matter for my comment because mentally if someone were to do a hit and run and I find out they're having a mental episode, in my brain I'm not angry anymore because the chemicals in their brain made them do this. We saw him so remorseful through and just wanted to see the cop to say sorry about everything. The cop was running off his emotions instead of staying calm and figuring out what's going on and why he did it. I would NEVER act like that unless I know for damn sure that it was intentional.
@@davidorf3921 To quote a fanfiction I once read: "Most people don't think about what the phrase "To honor someone" means. It means that you have to honor what they honor. You can do no less than what they would do in that same situation." If the cop's partner would have done everything to help that vet, than by helping him, then Angelo honored his partner.
Typical hospital rules, a veteran who served his country can't get help because there's not enough money, but a rich person gets good treatment and doesn't pay a damn dime how fare is that how fair is that
Everyone deserves better than that. At 17 in 1979, I had a very rare cancer. Until Obamacare, I was denied all health care due to that pre existing diagnosis other than Planned Parenthood. The military would not have tainted goods like me. Employers laid me off due to health insurance revealing my pre existing cancer diagnosis until HIPAA became law. Still...I found ways of giving to this country and it's people. Today, I am still paying a huge price in lack of health due to being purposely excluded by the great american for profit and the select few in the prior/current medical system. No one should be excluded or limited but we are.
Well, obviously, they don’t know how the VA works. This show is portraying inaccuracy and everybody in the comment section is sitting here believing that it is.
I’d love to see every senator and congressman in the federal government on the same insurance plan as our veterans and then you’d see them idiots fix it
I know that chick was only doing her job but people, businesses, entities, whatever, that only think about the money, mostly in terms of how can we make the most, are one of the biggest problems in this world.
I work for the VA.. and not being able to pay is never an issue and there isn't something called a "voucher.". The VA would cover the entire cost through the Community Care program.. not just "75%." Plus with him having bladder cancer, if he was exposed to agent orange, would entitle him to 100% service-connected disability pay from the VA. Dramatizations like this is what paints an ugly picture that gains more traction than the truth. Working in private healthcare and the VA... I can easily tell you the VA healthcare system is better than the private side. Had a vet who needed antirejection meds for lung transplant. Would have cost 10k a month through private insurance... I worked to get them approved through the VA... and guess what the total cost to the Vet was.... Absolutely nothing. Even if he had to pay would have been only $11 for a 30 day supply of each antirejection medication. Can easily tell you most complaints about the VA is either from employee not knowing/wanting to do their job or unrealistic expectations of treatment based upon what they want.
Hopefully most people will be able to remember this is just a fictional tv show and not a documentary, but you do have a valid point. Some will take this as fact...
This is def television. I want to believe in my fellow man but I don’t see this happening. I’m speaking about the ending. Everything else is very realistic.
That ending almost made me tear up. I wish every vet was treated with the same level of compassion and understanding, they’re heroes.
Amen ..
Unfortunately we aren’t treated well. I’m a Navy Veteran and I will say the VA is very slow and disorganized. 1 appointment wait time can be 3 months away and the appointment will always have you waiting for another consultation.

When the cop found out the truth, he went from hating the guy to having compassion for him. He knew that it wasn't his fault
Shame so many are too fixated on his initial anger instead of the change to compassion.
Think there's a little racism involved here?

Every pulmonogist I talked to at the hospital said I shouldn't have survived because that was "the widowmaker of the pulmonary world."
The only "symptom" I had was feeling a little more tired than usual, but who doesn't feel tired sometimes?
I'm extremely lucky that it happened while I was at home and not driving. Or engaging in any of my hobbies that involve propane torches or soldering irons. I'll be on blood thinners the rest of my life because they don't know what caused the clots in the first place. There's a decent chance that it's an extremely rare genetic blood cancer that my grandmother had, but there's no real treatment for it. Staying in the blood thinners is the really the only option there too. Anyway, at least I was home and not in a position to kill myself or anyone else that night.
Yeah i had a stroke while eating lunch at a restaurant when i was only 34 years old. I didn't even realised i had a stroke. I thought i was daydreaming. I can see, hear, smell, feel and think perfectly fine but i can't speak and move. When the paramedics say i might have a stroke, i didn't even believe it coz i thought it was an old people's disease. Only when i was in the ICU and several doctors say i have a stroke, that i realised, i had a stroke...
I get that, but he knew he had a condition shouldn't have been driving. He does deserve better and is owed the best. Please don't misunderstand my thinking it's just my father was killed by a drunk driver 3 months before I was born. I know he wasn't drinking just that I feel he should have know better than to drive. I'm so.glad this doctor helped him he so deserved it!!! If he had it this probably wouldn't have happen. Sad on both sides.
Martha Jones is still one of the best Doctors out there never expected her to leave UNIT for a general hospital though 😂
she needed a new identity, that's why she moved to the US
😂
There was a cop near where I lived a few years ago that had a stroke behind the wheel while on duty. Went out of control in an intersection near a school and hit another car. Luckily no one was hurt, but it could have been so much worse.
Wow crazy
I bet that the school went into lockdown
@doloresflores7773 I honestly don't know. I was stuck in a bus at the time. And most of the details I learned later were from an article.
if only this kind of "Compassion" knew everyone
Imagine waking up and hearing a doctor say. “Good call” haha.
now thats two great acts of kindness that is improbable in todays world.
BRO I WAS COOKING AND RUclips FAILED TO Say aNYHTING
God Bless Our Veterans 🇺🇸
I'm pretty sure if you have a seizure or stroke while driving and it causes an accident, you're not at fault for obvious reasons.
Agreed.
Yeah but if he knew this could happen then he should have taken precautions
@@dominika4009 Who's to say he didn't? the medicine prescribed for seizures or other neurological diseases aren't foolproof. even if he did everything right he still could have a seizure.
@jaycorbin so then he shouldn't drive at all
@@Wolverine1987 Well that’s just stupid. He shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all because he has a 1% chance of having a seizure or stroke? I’m betting you have more than a 1% chance of having a heart attack while driving, and yet you drive all the time.
This actually made me cry.
DR. Goodwin did a fabulous job at containing the angry crowd of cops even for big officers he was Able to be firm, professional, patient, compassionate , and calm… I’m happy Officer Angelo Rossetti came around and treated the veteran with kindness after the tragic incident because you can see the vet didn’t wanna hurt her… A stroke can happen to anyone at any time all around tragic for everyone involved 💔
This was the first time I ever saw a clip of this show and I started crying at the end
I know the cop had a redemption moment but he really shouldn’t be a cop being so ready to kill or torture that man
Anybody else shed a tear 🥲
No
No not me 😭 I just lived nextdoor to the Onions Factory and I have allergies ,yes I have allergies and I'm sticking to my story .
LOL 😂 okay I admitted I did cried. I'm a grown country guy living in America 60 years old.
Not only did his country fail him, by extension they failed that officer by not taking care of him.
Talk about a plot twist! Got me heading to the tissue box. Awesome!
Veterans NEED to be treated better. They deserve full health insurance to go anywhere they wish. Half of our homeless are veterans who possibly have had PTSD and or who got sick from their time serving.
Sadly, this is all too true of the VA hospital system m. My Dad is veteran and work for the VA in supply management for years. While, some benefits have come from increased privatization it has come at tremendous cost often to quality and access in many ways.
This is one of the biggest problems with the saying "Brothers in Blue" they want revenge when one of their own get hurt but go about it the wrong way, wanting revenge instead of justice
I know it's hard to suppress emotions, but officers need to maintain professionalism at all times because they technically represent the law, so they need to be held to a higher standard than normal people
OK dude. Basing real life on a TV show lol
@@patricktalbot8980it has happened in real life
@@patricktalbot8980definitely happens in real life 😂
So if a dui driver killed your whole family and only got lets say 2 years jail and 10 years probation that would be fair to you???? ( i made up the years ). your not a man if you dont want revenge killing
@@michaelmason5562 the DUI driver was sent to jail though in your scenario, from that point onward, you can't really do anything without getting in trouble yourself
and the guy had a tumor he couldn't get treated because he was screwed over medically, you're saying the guy should be punished and blamed for that
The ending is a tear jerker.
as a doctor who fan all i can think while watching this show is that martha jones finally became a doctor! :3 love you freema
That's how I know her. I'm like she looks familiar. I strayed too far lately with the current doctor who for awhile
I legit thought Angelo had a bucket of chicken for a second XD
I thought it was a bucket of flowers 🌺🌹 and or bucket of gold coins he saved when police officers was a little kid growing up. Until I saw paper money sticking out almost to end .
Beautiful! Magnificent thank you for helping a hero❤
He might’ve hurt the officer but it would make the officer any better then the man if he hurt him because vengeance doesn’t solve anything
At certain times it is
@@danerichards7280Not in this case. And even so, cops are meant to be held to a higher standard. Vigilantism doesn't fit that higher standard.
The police have their own law - what they preach is for us not them. #osint luv ya long time #paul_mudge #terry_wylde
Revenge is a selfish decision, and when you make selfish decisions lie that, you're not only hurting yourself, but, you could also be hurting the people around you. Your actions have a way of effecting others.
Yeah. And if that went forward, the cop would be wearing five layers of trauma plates on his vest from now on.
This is how our veterans are treated everyday! I'm the daughter of a Vietnam vet - and we're lucky bc we're a military family with lots of resources; but the red tape around getting our service men & women the proper & efficient healthcare that they served & fought for is shameful! Say what you want abt President Obama, but he put certain things in place that has paid and will continue to pay service member their proper benefits. Veterans paid decades of back pay that they we owed bc of those laws that President Obama pushed so hard for that REPUBLICANS voted against - just bc they wanted him to fail! Never forget that part when the right is screaming Patriotism!
I am a disabled veteran. Under Obama‘s leadership I was denied any privileges as a veteran. When President Trump got in office, I was able to walk without pain or a limp again. Obama‘s administration would’ve had me walking on a disabled leg for years and years. Under Trumps administration, the wait time at the VA went from 18 months for a doctors appointment down to six weeks. And this is at the largest VA facility in the nation. Obama fired half a million troops during his reign of terror as our president. I was one of them. I respect the office. But I hate the person Obama.
If you wanna see Obama‘s legacy, I dare you to walk downtown Los Angeles. Understand that almost every person that you see that’s homeless on the streets are veterans that were pushed out by Obama and the corrupt system that he created.
@@judahschultz I wanted to share that it seems IN THIS ConText all democrats do is brag helping Illegal and Refugees and they don't seem to spend money on Veterans.

My grandpa was denied Military Services Veterans Hospital in 2011 and died in Nursing home without any Alzheimer's memory Care Treatment 100 miles away from grandparents house and tried to get more Medical Insurance but had to use grandma Medical Insurance Company under Public schools kindergarten cooking school and Little family restaurant to help paying for regular Nursing home treatments but he died anyway in Nursing home and had to asked for family members help in several States.
What did Obama and Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton ever did to innocent American military Services members absolutely nothing for regular Americans black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor regular Christian people and nothing for the rest of the Americans military Services members trying to get into Veteran Hospital and Obama and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden has been killing innocent American people and kids and babies and killing innocent military Services members.
ObamaCare cost American people $100 thousands dollars to start ObamaCare Insurance and others overseas countries people and others American people aren't even paying for ObamaCare Insurance since it a Socialist Insurance to adding cost to the rest of the healthy Americans taxpayers paying for others people who aren't even hurt badly than regular Americans black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor people and kids and babies and military Services members are dying off by Demoncratic Party's Socialist Dictatorship Insurance Company called Fraudulent Care ObamaCare Insurance is still ripping regular Christian Americans people and kids and babies and military Services members of different branches of military Services.
I would love to know why our families members military Services members and Veterans Hospital not being care for. There is no money for our veterans hospital and no money for Military Services Veterans Nursing home. And it's totally ill responsibility and totally disrespectful towards Veterans Hospital and military Services members.
It was a no brainier that dictator Demoncrats Party's Terrorists criminals corruption Organization Group normalizing being the most Hatred towards REAL American black and white and brown and yellow and red innocent poor regular Christian Republican Party Military Services Veterans and regular Republican Party people in America wasn't even putting in America First Policy . Why are Demoncratic Party people Soo hateful towards REAL American people and military Services members and hating America flag and hating America U.S. Constitution and Constitutional Republic LAW and Declaration of Independence and Amendment Rights LAWS and against God's LAWS of 10 commandments and Common sense TRUTH rules and Jesus Christ and Prayers and Bibles and Pledge to the America flag.
Even if he wasn’t a veteran or a stroke patient he didn’t deserve having police officer stalk him with the intention of get back.
This made me shed a tear. ❤
Brooo this got me crying happy and sad tears 😢
how to tell an actress from an actual practising doctor: She is wheels heels in an ICU ward!!!
Truth
You saying "wheels heels" has me envisioning a doctor in heelies 😂
"We take care of our own." Such a big brotherhood statement there.
”We take care of our own.“
Every Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airman, LEO, Firefighter, or Paramedic can relate to those words.
We are aware that the nation rewards us with mediocre incentives and scraps for ruining ourselves for them. Hospitals will examine our wounds and, instead of performing one or more operations that could put us back in place, they will prefer to give us a lifetime of medication and visits.
Ultimately, the only people we can truly trust are those who wore the same uniform, and know the burden of war.
so sweet 😭
This made me cry
This is just a sad case all around 😭😭😭
It is 4:15 am and I am crying trying to figure out if I should take a new job. This Is beautiful
the worst thing that she said was "have some compassion" you never know what someone in grief may do.
It was the right thing to say because she told the cop the reason for him being in there in the first place, cop didn't want to listen because he needed his revenge, that is until he was told the truth by the Doctor, so her saying "Have some compassion" is perfectly right.
Saying “have some compassion” to someone in pain is the equivalent of telling someone who’s angry to calm down.
@@bravobr9725she could have just told him the reason why the guy was there and the reason for the accident.
@@ConnorReynolds784 doesn't that go again HIPAA laws though? Honestly what should've happened was that they kicked the officer out of the hospital. Just because he was the partner of the one who was hurt doesn't mean he HAD to be there.
@@frostfang7906 if that was the case then she broke HIPPA regardless because she told the cop the guy had a stroke. And I’m not arguing about the cop’s reaction to finding the person that caused the accident that put his partner in the hospital. Which was wrong but I can understand why he reacted the way he did. Because I’d be furious too, don’t act like you wouldn’t be either. I’m talking about the doctor’s poor choice of words by telling the cop to “have some compassion”. Because as I said to another commenter, that’s the equivalent of telling someone who’s angry to calm down. Which is the last thing you want to say to get a person to calm down.
The fact that the whole police was there was crzy
I don't even watch this show and this is making me cry
The end made me cry too hard😢. So many vets are not taken care of .
We’ve had so many vets come through our ED who turn out to be homeless due to the severe lack of recourses…..
Yeah right.. I've been in hospitals enough to see no not that many people will be there for you or angry at those who hurt you..a true TV series..
the cops rep was like he was just upset he wasnt trying to do anything to that driver. really cuz from my angle it took 6 people to hold him back from killing the guy
Im not crying, its just ive got something in my eyes
This kept getting recommended to me and ignored it but now im glad i watched it. Anyone know how the episode ends does the Vet get to go to surgery and everything?
The Vet was able to go to surgery and mostly makes a full recovery. Unfortunately, the female officer he hit passed away from her injuries 😭
Lmao all those cops not working sitting in the hospital
Happens a lot.
I love how we pretend doctors walk around in heels all day.
“We take care you our own” yeah you should be able to control your too when they get out of line.
He said it would be handled. Probably had the officer's Sergeant stop by to have a few off the books words with him about decorum while at the hospital or in uniform.
Sad on both ends
First! I've waited so long to finally do that.
When he said they are her family. He really means it.💙🖤💙🇺🇸🦅✝️
0:43 there she is
We all know the ending would never happen
Our vets deserve better... It makes my blood boil to know that some who serve get screwed and others who didn't are able to game the system so it stays rigged.
Our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles deserve BETTER!
A dozen cops just swarm into an ED like that? That's outrageous. It's not a damn mob fight.
"you lost ur leg thanks to a land mine? sorry, thats not service related"
holy crap its martha jones from doctor who
I'm guessing that she didn't survive in the end 😭😭😭

@@honinakecheta601 Someone who calls police a gang have no clue about the difference.
I know that this could happen. My grandfather is a Vietnam Veteran and about 30 years ago the government decided not to allow veterans to get their teeth cleaned and my grandfather wanted dental coverage so he at that time was working for the state of Kansas so he went and got health insurance thru the state lucky for him about 2 to 3 months later he had a heart attack . The state paid 80 percent of the bill and the VA paid the rest . If he had not got the state employee insurance he would have had to pay about 25 percent of the bill which was not quite 30000 dollars all together. Of course the silliest thing was that the state insurance provider tried not to pay the 600 dollars for the ambulance ride until we pointed out that he had a heart attack in the hospital 2 hours later.
Just because you're close and a cop, that doesn't give you cart Blanche to do as you want.
Zava?! Thought you retired to your Avocado Farm😱
(Ted Lasso Reference)
Best thing the VA can do for the veterans is CLOSE.

When people we care about are hurt it's human to want to blame something. It's always important to see the other side of things, because the problems - what's to blame - isn't always clear or easy to see.
Why bother serving a country, any country of that matter risking dying when at the end they don't even bother to give you a fair medical treatment?
most unrealistic part is that not a single nypd officer called the dude a slur
I’m sorry, but the cop had no right to just say get out of the way you know it doesn’t matter that you’re a police officer are your lawyer, or a judge or a doctor or a nurse? It doesn’t matter they treat their patients all the same just because you’re a cop you don’t get the highroad of heaven for real you were like every other patient, so please respect that there are other people dying as well just because you’re a cop does not make you entitled entitled.
us healthcare being us healthcare
This is an interesting episode, ive never seen this show but makes me want to watch. This cop is a POS for sure. If they told him that this man had a stroke when driving AND he's a Veteran and he still wants to hurt him??? Why...like this is cops get a bad name for stuff like this when they are good guys wrapped up in there own stupidity. As a young black male, I understand stereotypes but this definitely highlights a living in both worlds situation to see why things are the way they are now unfortunately..... It gets better at the end because obviously he learns but still.... like cmon man it's obvious he's not okay.
People under stress do stupid things all of the time, imagine you are in a position where a close relative is injured in a hit and run, wouldn't you be angry ? This actually shows that the Cop is not a POS he's just upset, but the reality as you see at the end is he has the maturity and decency to think what would his partner have done and acts acordingly.
First off, he didn't know he was a vet with medical issues in the beginning. Second, it has nothing to do with race, of course a race baiter would think different. If i was that cop and if any race hit my partner, I would be emotional too. You would too. It is about the injust that the veterans suffer from the VA system. Once the officer knew he was a veteran then they knew that had to take care of their own.
@@junbun3642 @junbun3642 he knew about the medical issues when they said something, they bought him in and they said he wasn't intoxicated.....he wanted to attack him regardless of what he knew about the guy.... Him being a vet In this situation doesn't even matter for my comment because mentally if someone were to do a hit and run and I find out they're having a mental episode, in my brain I'm not angry anymore because the chemicals in their brain made them do this. We saw him so remorseful through and just wanted to see the cop to say sorry about everything. The cop was running off his emotions instead of staying calm and figuring out what's going on and why he did it. I would NEVER act like that unless I know for damn sure that it was intentional.
@@davidorf3921 To quote a fanfiction I once read: "Most people don't think about what the phrase "To honor someone" means. It means that you have to honor what they honor. You can do no less than what they would do in that same situation."
If the cop's partner would have done everything to help that vet, than by helping him, then Angelo honored his partner.
Hey! Martha Jones

Had he not been a vet, would that have changed anything? No. None.
Typical hospital rules, a veteran who served his country can't get help because there's not enough money, but a rich person gets good treatment and doesn't pay a damn dime how fare is that how fair is that
Everyone deserves better than that. At 17 in 1979, I had a very rare cancer. Until Obamacare, I was denied all health care due to that pre existing diagnosis other than Planned Parenthood.
The military would not have tainted goods like me. Employers laid me off due to health insurance revealing my pre existing cancer diagnosis until HIPAA became law.
Still...I found ways of giving to this country and it's people.
Today, I am still paying a huge price in lack of health due to being purposely excluded by the great american for profit and the select few in the prior/current medical system.
No one should be excluded or limited but we are.
Well, obviously, they don’t know how the VA works. This show is portraying inaccuracy and everybody in the comment section is sitting here believing that it is.
I’d love to see every senator and congressman in the federal government on the same insurance plan as our veterans and then you’d see them idiots fix it
our medical system is outrageously expensive- look at what the CEOs are raking in, what their stocks are worth etc...
Awwwwwweeee 😢
Everyone from kids to the damn Surgeon general can say how trash healthcare is in the states and we still just bend over and take it
A dangerous precedent? For following the law and accepting a government voucher to care for a vet?
signed up used and discarded… so many other veterans out there the same abandoned, forgotten
I know that chick was only doing her job but people, businesses, entities, whatever, that only think about the money, mostly in terms of how can we make the most, are one of the biggest problems in this world.
The dangerous precedent being paying for vet medical bills. Which a vast majority of Americans would be willing to publicly fund.
Wow cops habe way fo munch power
Ben Daryena
I work for the VA.. and not being able to pay is never an issue and there isn't something called a "voucher.". The VA would cover the entire cost through the Community Care program.. not just "75%." Plus with him having bladder cancer, if he was exposed to agent orange, would entitle him to 100% service-connected disability pay from the VA. Dramatizations like this is what paints an ugly picture that gains more traction than the truth. Working in private healthcare and the VA... I can easily tell you the VA healthcare system is better than the private side. Had a vet who needed antirejection meds for lung transplant. Would have cost 10k a month through private insurance... I worked to get them approved through the VA... and guess what the total cost to the Vet was.... Absolutely nothing. Even if he had to pay would have been only $11 for a 30 day supply of each antirejection medication.
Can easily tell you most complaints about the VA is either from employee not knowing/wanting to do their job or unrealistic expectations of treatment based upon what they want.
Hopefully most people will be able to remember this is just a fictional tv show and not a documentary, but you do have a valid point. Some will take this as fact...
This is def television. I want to believe in my fellow man but I don’t see this happening. I’m speaking about the ending. Everything else is very realistic.
