      My last colonoscopy/endoscopy procedure was my last! I was body slammed by a nurse when I didn’t turn onto my side as fast as she wanted me to, and while I was trying to tell her that I had a slipped disk in my back. I was in a room with tons of people and machines I’ve never seen before in two previous colonoscopy procedures, but my doctor was not present. I was told she was running late and I went under without seeing her and she was not available after my procedure. I had bleeding for years afterward and I never had a follow up conversation with her. Her office staff was scary, and she knew they were but previously had said she didn’t know what to do about them. 5 years later I received an email from her stating, “This has been a long time coming and…” I immediately deleted her email and sent it to junk mail! I will not have another one. The patient doesn’t have anyone in the room who is on their side once they are under anesthesia and loved ones are on the other side of the closed doors. My advice is to learn everything you can about keeping yourself healthy and stay out of the doctor’s office. And I worked in doctor offices for years, and that gives me less confidence in them. Sad.

      Saying X number of patients were potentially exposed to X pathogens isn't the same thing as saying they all actually got it. It's probably just how many patients they have to contact and let them know one of their past doctors has been known not to always follow proper procedures so they need to get tested.

    In around 2001 I had a colonoscopy at UW Seattle. I noticed the scope had crust stuff on it and the doctor brushed it off and said it wss sterile because it was autoclaved. Then I got a letter, not a call, that I'd been possibly exposed to CJD because of this. I didn't get that, fortunately. But had to get another colonoscopy there maybe a year or two later where I asked to be awake during the procedure, and the doctor bullied the CRNA threatened to have her fired if she did not anesthetize me against my wishes. She did it and I woke up in an empty classroom where a resident was self gratifying in the corner. I jumped off the table, knocked everything over and demanded the doctor, who when I questioned him, all he had to say was this is a teaching University and now else do I expect people to learn. Medicine needs an big overhaul. Doctors have too much power. I'm no fan of UW even though I graduated there. That experience was life altering for me. Administrators never responded when I told them what happened.

      Agreed, but infection control wise, scrubbing the hub is much more important to prevent staph/strep/E.coli and other easily transmitted bacteria, than HIV/Hep which basically requires reusing or inadequately sterilizing something. When I was a certified PICC RN we were taught that PICC line injections sites should always be prepped with both Betadine and alcohol. That was over 20 years ago, maybe standards have changed.

    Ack!!!😱
    This is why I am wary of being in any hospital alone. I wish surgeries were recorded or a loved one was allowed to watch.
    Any machine or medical instrument that isn't new or autoclaved, such as respirators, dialysis machines, or anything used in obstetrics, plastic, or oral surgery, is suspect.
    Surgeries and medical procedures performed outside hospitals also come to mind.
    Plasma donation machines are in demand to donate blood and plasma to reduce “forever” chemicals.
    Any donated biological item should be screened- breast milk, skin, organs, sperm, blood, plasma, etc.- and could be suspected.
    One doctor could also do something wrong and unknowingly expose others who then use infected instruments or tissues.
    Thinking back in history to vilified midwives who had the nerve to wash their hands also comes to mind. So reckless!
    It would be great if everyone were required to take a course on sterile practices and cleanliness around food use and storage.
    A salesperson in a cosmetics store tried to convince me to use a sterile Q-tip from an open jar. I politely said they weren't sterile, and she told me I was wrong and the store had just trained her! 🤨

    NONE of these potential scenarios should EVER happen! If they do, it comes down to either laziness or greed. I am a recently retired oncology nurse clinician, having worked in a private oncology clinic- no pharmacist- we mixed all our own drugs/chemotherapy. Also submitted our own billing so I know about ‘double dipping’. For your viewers who dont know this, those single use drug vials are charged per vial & no matter the cost, the remainder of the vial needs to be discarded; otherwise you’re charging 2 or more patients for the same unit of drug. Even if the same patient gets 2 separate doses of the same drug they need to be from 2 separate vials; can’t charge for 2 if you only used one. It used to make me sick to throw away valuable chemotherapy, but YOU KNOW if you double dip it’s insurance/medicare fraud & I wasn’t about to put myself in that situation. So there’s really no excuse in this day & age for any patient being contaminated by medical equipment or drugs.

IDK what has happened within the 1st source of medical care, primary care practices, where the Dr, Nurse , staff have no inclination to properly care for their patients...which is actually their bread and butter...I tell patients- THE DR WORKS FOR YOU! Not you for them..overpopulation of the united states & world has caused lax attitudes in that fact alone...meaning there's no concern of not having enough patients to he a successful practice. And by successful I mean - MONEY. I could go on for hours...I have also become a patient 3 years ago and STILL not having my medical issues resolved...even tho there are fixes.....blah blah blah..let's talk about this more....

    I am a retired home infusion nurse who worked for a medical system that values training and using best practices, so we used best current practices in order to place and manage IVs, including central lines (PICCs, ports, etc). Not only do you scrub the hub before accessing an IV line, you scrub it for 15 seconds. It’s time and friction that has proven to remove pathogens from the access port. It may be scary to stop a medical professional if they aren’t performing proper technique, but you are the one who will suffer the medical consequences if contamination is introduced into your vein. Who cares what they think about you. Just make a point to mention in passing that you have a close friend or relative who is an attorney. Truly, most medical professionals hold themselves to high standards. Sadly, not all do, and they need to be called out one way or another.

      @lesliebblack Месяц назад +3

      I already commented on this, but an anesthesiologist who isn’t following proper billing procedure and/or is using single use vials on more than one patient is committing insurance/medicare fraud. Medicare actually sets the prices of drugs used in hospitals & insurance companies have to use those prices. So there’s no way a doctor can overcharge for drugs UNLESS they charge multiple times for the same vial/unit of drug. (Single use vials are such either because they contain no preservatives & spoil OR they are of a dose which is billed in that unit. Eg: drug vial contains 4mg & is billed in units of 4mg. Patient dose is 2mg. The patient is still charged for that whole 4mg vial/unit so the remainder must be discarded. If you give the remaining 2mg to another patient who is also charged for a 4mg unit it is fraud.)

    I worked environmental services and witnessed MANY, MANY medical industry employees lift garbage and laundry lids with their bare hands rather than use the foot pedal. There were doctors who never washed their hands which was obvious when their exam room sinks had no fresh water drops. Some areas rarely, if ever, needed their soap or anti-bacterial dispenser refilled. Then there were the needles left out on counters or put in the sharps disposal with the needle left sticking straight up for anyone to poke themselves.

    As an RN with >20 yes experience nearly everywhere within Acute Care, including ICU, GI Lab, PACU, and also Home Health/Hospice, you would be amazed at how many medical professionals fail to wash their hands between patient contact. It’s complete madness to me… I once had to discipline an RN for not washing her hands in the patient’s home prior to performing wound care. The excuse was that she used hand sanitizer in the car. That’s just not good enough! My biggest advice to family members is to make sure your medical professional washes their hands, preferably in front of the patient if possible. Go back to the basics!

      It is odd that hospitals will ask patients who are in for other reasons to have colonoscopies. A friend's mom went in for pneumonia, was put on hospice, and was taken from the ICU to have this done. She, too, died within days.
      It seemed like a money grab on the hospital’s part. Who takes a dying patient with no stomach issues to do this for any other reason? It makes me sad and angry.
      Many hospitals lack staff, and it appears that most of their money is filtered to the administrators.

They have refused cleaning the end tube/valve, replacing or cleaning the connector valve twice per week. Each time, I'm hooked up to my tpn, which is 18 hours per day, 7 days a week, they skip cleaning and even flushing with 10 ml 0.9 saline, followed by 10 ml heparin whenever I'm hospitalized. As a result, I've been seriously infected numerous times. Cdiff, ecoli, staff ~ all the the same time. I've had other infections whenever I'm inpatient. I have a serious fear of going to the hospital bc of it. I've never been infected at home, EVER.
    Edit to add: I've had to call the charge nurse, and administration when they've refused telling me I'm wrong or making a big deal about it bc they know what they're doing. They insist I don't have a degree.

    I had a PICC line for about 6 weeks to treat Lyme’s, and I had to do my own infusions at home every day. The nurse who showed me how to do them emphasized scrub the hub and even let me take a video so I could reference the steps in case I forgot. She showed me how to flush the lines with saline and heparin, etc. I was so nervous to mess it up because I had no idea what I was doing and the line ended so close to my heart. I think they said it was in my aorta. I really appreciated her patience and knowledge. She answered all my questions, even repeats because I kept forgetting, and assured me I could do it and that she’d be on call if I ever needed her. She really was too. She took care of me when one of the lines got clogged and blood started congealing around entrance. Turned out there was a kink in the white side. Xray couldn’t pick it up it was so small, but we saw it immediately after the line was pulled. Anyway, whenever I hear “scrub the hub,” I think of her. She was one of the special people who helped save my life. I will be forever grateful. ❤️

      @@somethingkindawonderful3034 I don’t know where she lived, but I don’t think she did anything wrong. It was part of some program that let patients get infusions at home. I wasn’t strong enough to travel to and from a hospital every single day so it was extremely helpful to be able to do infusions at home. She had to work with my doctor and her company, plus a delivery company for my meds. They scheduled her appoints for her, so if something is wrong with that, then it should be on the company, not her. As far as I know she did her job correctly. She came once a week to change my bandage, any other times anything seemed wrong, and at the end to pull my line.
      They were using some interesting tech. I don’t know much about it, but my meds came in a weird pressurized bulb that self infused so it didn’t have to be hung up or rely on gravity. They gave me a fanny pack to hold the medicine bulb while it was infusing so I could still move around if I wanted. I was infusing an antibiotic, so they probably weren’t as worried about infection as someone with another issue like cancer. Idk. I just followed instructions. It was scary because it was new to me, but not hard. I’d been sick for 5 years and it was the first time a doctor was willing to treat me for Lyme’s, so I did the best I could in a bad situation. I was pretty close to death at the time and was happy for any help I could get. I most certainly will not say anything bad about one of the few people who helped me get my life back.

Both spoke on their cellphone then wanted to put those same gloved hands in my mouth. With the dentist, I looked up at the overhead light as I lay back…which was smeared with a build up of repeated adjustments- clearly hadn’t been cleaned in weeks.

This feels like a bigger deal. I also noted in my surgical notes that my blood pressure tanked and I was given adrenaline. I’m so confused trying to figure this out myself!

    In the 80’s I worked as a dental assistant and I realised the dentist was reusing the disposable needles. This was when HIV first became an issue.
    I rang the dental association and was told without proof I could be sued. As a 17yo I was too scared to pursue it.
    I realise now I could have just kept the disposable needles and they would show they’d been used on multiple people. Then again DNA testing only came about until the 90’s.

I showed the surgeon the one protruding and he didn't fix it. The other one was on my foot and the nerve block didn't work. Felt like I woke up from a nightmare.

      Using the same vial of propofol in itself should not be able to spread anything. Vials are sterile and the needles you draw the medicines out of the vial should also be sterile. It’s then ejected into the IV through itself with no needle but since Propanol is an IV Push that they when have to use a port AKA hub with may or may not require the needle to still remain on the syringe. Most likely you are doing it needless so if you happened to use the propanol vial again you would need another sterile needle so how would that be contaminated other then using a bunch of dirty needles. But you should only have to draw up Propanol once and that is 1 1/2 seconds because you are unconscious. And to top it off have you ever seen the amount of propanol that they give you? It’s a very hefty amount so I can’t imagine that there is any or much left. Insulin bottles are used over and over again with and if instructions are followed remaining sterile because you never draw up medicine without reusing a dirty needle.
      I think the doctor has a good theory but I just doesn’t feel correct or sound right. I’m totally just guessing but could it be an mistake that run through the blood collect, blood screening, and transfusion be the all reasons and that’s up to med/large dogs. The pound and other organization re
      Btw the reason that stray animals in the shelters or pounds over cost about $35 versus way over a hundred dollars when you kitten or puppies get fixed. The pounds and other organizations reuse as much of the single use items. They will do like 5 cats using just one surgical kit. Whereas, your local vet uses one surgical kit for each cat and never reuses them. Every cat or dog comes out of a vet surgery after only one completely sterile kit was used and thrown away. At the pound and other organizations, the cat that you pick out comes without the insecurity on not knowing if your cat ended up by chance getting a brand new kit or worrying how many cats used and how unsterile wat the equipment.

Date each page, write down the name of “the doctor of the day,” the nurse, everything you observe- procedures, IVs, medicine, test (try to document the time if possible).

    I was a scrub tech working in endoscopy in the 90's. The nurses were motivated to have fast turn over so they would get a bonus. I caught them not properly cleaning scopes. This was back in the Cidex days. I saw ERCP scopes dripping bile after being removed from the Cidex machine. The nurse would wipe the tip off with a paper towel, and take it to the doctor. I turned them into infection control, and was told they "probably needed more training." (!!) I quit soon after that.

There don't seem to be good solutions for so very much of this, but patients get ground up and spit out far too often, even when you DO politely but persistently advocate (or try to) you often aren't "allowed" to, or you can end up being denied care at all.

    This is terrifying, I got a scare with endoscopy where I received a letter telling me that I may have been contaminated with hepatitis B from a Dr suspected to not clean his instrument properly. I rush to my family doc and we did the testing and it was negative but the waiting was crazy. since then I am careful as much as I can. Thanks Dr. for your advice.🇨🇦👏👏👏

    Wow, why are we see an uptick on these case issues? And what can I do as a patient to do my part. Hah you just mentioned that. 1. And if I as a patient started asking questions when you meet the Dr like you, are they going to get their nose out of joint. Tracie

      Use a question mark for questions.

      @@thekeysman6760 Pardon me for missing the questions. Are you kidding me? We all make mistakes but for you to do this is very childish behavior.

      Honestly as a disabled RN I think people don’t care, they have let themselves be the focus of their life and don’t have any love or very little for their neighbors. Things have changed dramatically and escalated to such a degree that I don’t feel that anyone should be left alone in a hospital without an advocate and it’s a shame because nurses are considered to be patient advocates yet I have seen so many not open their mouths when even a physician is out of line.
