Thanks for your sound advice Dr Dhand. I’m 95 and mentally very well, I live on my own and have taken a lot of prophylactic meds since covid. Can hospital stop me from taking those?
@@sarahann530 Dopey you are well due to the fact you avoid hospital and doctors through natural cures and treatments. It is said that you go to hospital to treat a disease and you end up picking 3 or more diseases from your doctors and hospitals. In 2023 in the US Doctor and Hospital acquired diseases killed 2,23m and 2,89 million Americans respectively.
@@margaretr5701 you need to stay as aware as you can. My mother always looked at her meds before she would take them and caught 2X’s they were about to give her the wrong medicine.
Anyone who has done 20 yrs of parent care would also know!!!! Too bad my siblings now in charge of my mother just can’t grasp it. I’m sure I got better as I learned how not to trust that the professionals knew what they were doing.. no offense - I only met a few bad nurses… one I had fired along with some cna’s for negligence at a nursing home but the other countless nurses were great. Not sure why I assumed you were in nursing lol
Great tips, Doc! Here's another: Befriend the nursing staff because they are the people who really matter. They took loving care of my 94 yr old mother who was hospitalized for 3 days with congestive heart failure. They effectively managed palliative care, easing our concerns over her comfort levels. They allowed us full access to her at all hours, even bringing a "compassion cart" of beverages and snacks. My mother's last meal was a beautiful salmon dinner, which she thoroughly enjoyed. They supported my dad when he wanted to lie in her bed and hold her one last time. Her death was peaceful and following it, her nurses wept with us. We did see a doctor once a day for a few minutes and while they were polite, it was apparent that they not only didn't know what was going on with the patient, they didn't care, either. Here's to nurses - the heart of the medical system!
I wish that was my 2nd last stint in Hospital was like, l have nothing good to say about the Nurse that took care (loosely) of me, l never saw her, l missed all of my meals, as l was asleep, they would whisk it away, just as l would wake up, l needed help to sit up, did not have a hand grip or whatever they are called, so l could sit myself up, the Dr was the only person that l spoke to, he told me they had to cut into my muscle, no wonder it was hard for me to sit up, as l had to have a hernia op, that Nurse was the worse l have ever had, she was dreadfully unskilled, how did she ever get the job.
@@merrelthorson2224I’m so sorry you had this horrible experience! That is unacceptable, most nurses are wonderful & I appreciate how hard they work. The one you had should not be in that profession!😮I hope you reported her!!😡
My poor mom was 71 with fractures in her back. The dr left her in the bed for a week. She had to use the bed pan. They tried to get her up she had zero ability to stand or even sit on the side of the bed. She got pneumonia and mersa. She was going down hill quickly. They sent her to nursing home 4 25 days for "rehab" what a joke ...then sent home with hospice palliative care. The had her on morphine. Her bones were not strong. She was a heavy gal so much fluid!! They broke her shoulder turning her. She was so pitifil!! My heart was breaking because I felt her care sucked!!! Andressing my concerns didn' t help at all!! She passed away not long after she came home. I held my self responsible for a long time because I could not get the care I felt she needed, no one would listen!! My husband be came very ill. I took him to ED. They ran a few test couldnt find anything and was going to send him home! I pitched a fit for a CT on his abdomen!! Turns out his gallbladder had ruptured. He was hours from dying!! Had I not demanded the test he would hsve died during the night at home!! I hope someone will advocate for me if need be!! Love watching your very informative videos.
I'm so sorry. This happened similar with my mom, my best friend. And now it's happening to me. Death is a blessing at this point. I have nobody. My dear best friend died March 3rd in my arms. Her asshole husb was in bed sleep. Now I am stuck living here with him. He denies air conditioning and it August! I bought a portable with my whole SSI check. But now that plug has to house my new Oxgen concentrator it just found out I need. No other place to hook thinks and I am too weak to move stuff around. I am screwed. And the husb is a narcissist so no he is mad at me for taken any attention away from him! He said I'm a hypochondriac! Narcissist "project" that way. Look at Trump. Yes I welcome death.
I was a nurse at the Ajax hospital in Ontario Canada in the operating room. The ENT surgeon ear, nose and throat gave a lethal dose of medication injected into her nose. This patient was 17 years old, perfectly healthy, female, injected that into her nose. This medication was supposed to be used differently and he used it as injected because the Ajax hospital never labelled their medication‘s. I told them when I first started working there to do it and they didn’t do it the 17 year old died of like such a routine procedure and of course the administration covered for the nurse and the Doctor Who were at fault who killed this girl it’s absolutely sickening. Sickening sickening don’t go to. The hospital they literally will kill you

I saw it first hand with both my parents. Horrible experience both times, for totally different reasons. BTW as I was their advocate, I consistently did 5 of these things.
I’m willing to bet that his politics are inclusive because I’ve noticed that those who don’t seem to care are almost always extremely conservative. While I lean conservative myself, my wife, who is a liberal and an internal medicine physician, has been telling me for years about the mean, conservative doctors no one ever talks about. After hearing her stories and meeting some of these doctors at events, as well as personal experience, I’ve come to see her point. When it comes to my healthcare, I’d definitely choose a liberal doctor any day! 😂😊
I was put into a medically induced coma, which actually saved my life. But while in the coma they kept me pumped up with fentanyl. My youngest son asked if I was in any pain and the doctor said no. My son then asked why was I being kept on fentanyl. The doctor started getting pissed at my son and made some smart ass remark, "oh looks like we have a wanna be doctor in here". My son looked him dead in the eye and said, no, I'm a former drug addict who knows exactly what long term fentanyl can do. I was off the fentanyl within 15 minutes. Came out of the coma with no physical or psychological issues. BUT everything I have read stated if I was kept on the fentanyl for much longer, I would have needed extensive physical therapy. WTH are these doctors and hospitals doing????
That is a terrifying experience. Sad that your son became drug addicted but ultimately it saved YOUR life! What a blessing he stood up to that Dr. You raised a good 'un.
In some cases their disabling people permanently with medical side effects. In some cases intentionally being done. Other cases, it's fatal. And you can flat believe, they'll cover it up with documentation and sticking together. Hey, let's go take a smoke break, 16 times per 8 hours.
I'm one of them. No family at all. The thought of being an inpatient terrifies me. I had a test that required sedation, I was 76 and with a lung condition. Afterwards I discovered they gave me IV Madazalam and IV Fentanyl it took me 3 days to start recovery from these drugs. A general anesthetic and I'd feel fine within 24 hours. The combination of these drugs can be deadly for much younger people, let alone someone in their 70s with a lung condition.
When my Mother was in hospital I went up every day to care for her and give her a bed bath. The nurses just stayed by their work station. I also helped the other five patients in her small ward. As a retired nurse myself I was disgusted at the non existent care from the nurses. It was appalling. Even on Christmas Day it was the same, not festive at all, a very depressing atmosphere. A total contrast to when I was on duty as a nurse. I can tell you some awful things and how you have to fight for your loved ones to get them the care they deserve. My advice is try really hard to stay out of hospital because you'll go in with something curable and come out in a box!
@@dianaaquino7152from my observation of family members in hospital, there are some (many) true angels and heroes within the health system. There are also those who do the bare minimum they can get away with and those who I wouldn’t want caring for my houseplants. And the system doesn’t have a way of differentiating between them. A doctor having to say this about professional medical care on a YT video is actually shameful.
In hospital, when my husband haemorrhaged nobody responded to the emergency call. As soon as I could I ran to the nurses' station. Two nurses were chatting. I told one to come to my husband. When she said she'd come in a minute I dragged her by her arms along the corridor. My husband passed three days later. I had stayed at his bedside all the time because I didn't trust them to care for him.
I'm not in the US, but close, just the other side of your northern border. I have US friends, and although there are problems here, with healthcare, its not about how am I going to pay.
These greedy corporations, Amazon, Walmart, Blackrock, Fidelity, Vanguard, all got on the boards for the hospitals and are making decisions. If you can find an independent doctor out there, that's your best chance of surviving. Nowadays, it's turning to like a duck in a box they involve different people, and nobody takes any responsibility ,they pass you around like you're on a merry-go-round. Every doctor put you on a prescription passes you to the next guy. He puts you on a prescription. The only people getting ahead. Here are the drug companies. Doctors are getting paid but how many patients they see and they seem to have to get approvals from the hospital board in order to treat people. Seems like doctors are working on contract rather then being independent medical professionals.
Socialism never ever ever succeeds. The Canadian healthcare system is a disaster just wanting to euthanize people. they make it look like it's the thing to do to save money
My husband had a heart attack last year and was air lifted to a major hospital in our state. You live in a fantasy world if you believe any of your suggestions will be allowed. I was lucky to find a nurse who would bring water or a bed pan. I talked to a cardiologist twice in the 17 days he was there. I brought him home, unable to walk or sit up because the hospital was killing him. His room in ICU was beyond filthy. I took photos because I knew no one would believe it. Of course, he came home with a terrible UTI. They didn't even check his urine before being discharged. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.
I believe you 100%. I experienced a similar thing. Room I had to be in was in isolation and when they carted me in there it had not been cleaned at all!!! It was an Adventist Hospital near my house. O another occasion in a different hospital after a hysterectomy one of the nurses was yelling at me and manhandling me because I was in so much pain I couldn't go the the bathroom. I called my doctor and told him I was going home and the next day I did. If you want to live you must stay out of hospitals.
I had a quadruple by-pass recently and spent 10 days in hospital, 3 in intensive care and 7 in a general surgical ward. Personally, I couldn't praise enough the staff in intensive care at Wellington Hospital [NZ]. However, even with me insisting on being up and about in the General Ward, I still lost 6kg in 10 days! And I certainly wasn't overweight as I was walking 10 ~ 12km a day, eating very healthy and hunting. I lost muscle tissue and in those ten days I appeared to age 10 years! Hospital is a last resort!!!!!
My father wasn’t feeling well and we had him checked for cancer. His tests came back clean. He slipped in the bathroom in the middle of the night and hit his head which needed stitches. After he spent the night at the hospital, they told us he had liver cancer and had two days to live! We were in shock because he went from three staples to hospice with 2 days to live. In hospice he was given too much morphine as if they were trying to off him fast. The “nurse” took away his oxygen tube saying he may tangle it up and choke!? *Never heard of anyone choking themselves on an oxygen tube!* They take advantage of you when you’re in shock and pre-grieving; you’re afraid to say “Wait, why are you doing that?” I’m forever haunted by not stopping that nurse from taking his oxygen away. His primary Dr. couldn’t enter the hospital because he wasn’t part of that “corporation”. He kept telling us they were giving him too much morphine which was true because he was walking around two days before. I didn’t want him to be in pain but his communication was suddenly limited. It all happened so fast and the “players” in the hospital knew exactly what to say and do; we were putty in their hands. Love you Dad 😥💔💫🕊️
Heart breaking, I also had bad experiences when my mum was in hospital, they do try and hasten the end, I hadn’t the experience to know how to handle them, it’s unbelievably evil they can be… they are supposed to care….😢 Like you it lives with you forever,..
Hospice seems to be a requirement now. Just another way to get their money. For some reason they think it's their job to take all you have before you die and put it in their pockets.
@@beckygleasman408 Insurance companies love hospitals. They work hand in hand. They both make bank every week. Our local hospital has meetings with each department on Thursdays. If a department hasn't made bank they are in deep trouble. A person I know that left under nondisclosure said she feels sorry for anyone in the hospital from Friday through the weekend because they will get every vaxx, med, or whatever until the money is made. Shareholders come first along with the CEO. Insurance companies make a lot of money off those things mentioned.
Many years ago, my elderly neighbor was in the hospital and the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with her. I took her husband to the hospital every day, at a time when the doctors would make their rounds. They couldn’t answer our questions, as they had not come to a diagnosis. But when they’d see us in the hallways, they’d duck us and go into the nearest room to get away. One time, they actually went into the utility closet! However, because of our constant appearance, they continued to test her, until they finally found that she had a psoas abscess, which is something that’s apparently unusual. The moral of the story is that every patient (regardless of how old) needs an advocate to show to the staff that someone is paying attention.
As a nurse, I've witnessed docs dodge family (and even their patients) routinely. In general, they don't like to meet with families because it takes more time, they just don't like to, and sometimes with good reason such as there's too many ppl to talk to and they have to repeat stuff over and over and there's differing attitudes and opinions, etc. Assign one person in the family to be the communicator for the family and let the doc know who the assigned person is. The doc will be far less apt to dodge you, unless you're obnoxious.
You have no idea how accurate this is. A few years ago I had a very major surgery and I'm single. Even though I have dear friends, none of them could be there when the doctors did rounds At the crack of dawn. The chief resident always gave me an excuse and was out the door before I could get a question halfway out. And I was in no physical condition to chase after that piece of turd. Thankfully my surgeon Was much more receptive and when I explained the horrific treatment , well it was clear he read him the riot act. I still showed it to think what kind of doctor That rude jerk turned into..... So glad You and her husband were able to be there for her! It truly was terrifying. 1 of my cousins almost drove 7 hours ago Because they thought they were trying to kill me. It's really hard without an advocate. By the way my cousin wasn't wrong. When I ended up in the rehab hospital after the surgery learning to walk again I picked up 1 of the worst infections of my life. Thankfully I had made my best friend who is local my healthcare proxy.. Diagnosis or send me to the hospital. Because she had the healthcare proxy . Because she had the healthcare proxy they sent me and I was on the cusp of going septic which can be quite deadly. I know that all too well as I know how I lost my mom
Thank you so very much for your helpful words. You are so right about the terrible food. Also very dangerous is the lack of sleep. He was awakened every hour to check his vitals. He might have slept a total of 9 hours in 4 days. You are there for their convenience, and that does not include rest. My husband had the widowmaker heart attack at age 63. He had open heart surgery. Next day he immediately developed unstoppable diarrhea. They would bring up his food trays full of processed carbs and fats. They tried to get him to eat a barbecue beef sandwich with fries and coleslaw. I was livid. I said he needs a cardiac recovery diet, and he has an intestinal infection. He shouldn't be getting up and down all day and night. He was exhausted and his complexion was ashen .Nothing changed. He was on the toilet every 45 minutes around the clock for days while they continued to pump him full of drugs on an empty stomach. Nobody would listen. He got sicker and sicker. They wouldn't run a stool culture, (I suspected c-difficile). We said "we are going home". This was the 4th day after surgery. We signed out against medical advice. I brought him home and made him homemade pureed carrot and red potato soup with onions, garlic, herbs and chicken stock. He lived on this, probiotics and broiled fish for a week. The next day after we returned home, his diarrhea stopped, and his appetite returned. They were killing him with the garbage they tried to make him eat. I had learned about cooked carrots being a remedy for diarrhea years ago. It seemed simple and digestible to make a soup. He was so grateful to eat something that made him feel stronger and settled his stomach. Today he is fully recovered.
You are a Proverbs 31 woman!❤ 10Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. 11The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. 12She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
You are the Doctor everyone desires, Dr.Dhand! As a retired RN who has worked in many hospitals and has been a recent patient…I can say all of what you are saying is so true. Patients aren’t receiving the care they used to. It isn’t consistent from shift to shift. You have new residents ( interns) changing your standard medicines, writing incorrect diagnoses in notes that insurance companies refuse to pay for and conflicting discharge instructions printed out. Also, you are required to see your personal attending physician shortly after discharge and their scheduler cannot get you an appointment with your doctor and try to set you up with another doctor because offices close at 3:30 or 4:00 now. Therefore, again, no continuity of care. Someone who does not know you and glances at a few notes is again changing your care plan and possibly endangering your health. You have got to be your own advocate. I think you are amazing to call family/loved ones to relay correct information. That shows that you are a doctor who became a doctor for all the right reasons. This needs to be a mandatory teaching in medical schools again and again. Thank you for your excellent compassionate care of all of your patients every needs. You are truly a gem.🎉
I am a retired RN and no one in our family goes to hospital without an advocate. Since the "pandemic" no one even goes to a doctors visit without an advocate and the advocate is usually me😍
I’ve had nurses and doctors argue with me and tell me I’m bossy about my body. This is when they are starting IV’s. I’ve had 42 surgeries, am a downwinder, and am a walking science experiment. I’ve had hundreds of IV’s. I know where they can be started and where they cannot. I know my body and that’s what I tell them. It’s MY BODY!!!! Boy, that irritates them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come out of the OR with holes all over the back of my hands because they were going to get an IV started there just because I told them it’s impossible. Well, they learn that I’m right - every time! So annoying!
Dr.Suneel I'm so grateful you made this video. I just found you because of it. I'm now a subscriber. You are a rare doctor, a blessing to me and many others. May God Bless You Always. Take good care of yourself too! ❤ 🙏
Not only stay out hospitals, stay out of nursing homes!!! I was pushed into one. By the time I got home, my life was amess. My pets were re-homed, and my bills were behind, plus you still have to pay your RENT! I'm still trying to get things back to normal. I'm more traumatized from the nursing home than the busted leg. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I just spent a week in hospital and two weeks in after care. At age 79, I was on my own. I was treated very well in the hospital, only ran into one CNA with an attitude. No problem. The hospital had a full menu to order from and most of the food I ordered was excellent. However I ordered healthy items. There were plenty of unhealthy choices on the menu. In aftercare I was eating in the dining room and noticed most of the people were ordering sweets and carbs and cokes every meal. They were like walking beach balls and they were having pancakes for breakfast with a sandwich for lunch. I was having scrambled egg and sausage with fruit and if the fruit was canned I would ask for yogurt. The other meals I was ordering just the meat. No potatoes or bread, the veggies were horrible so I didn’t order them either. I was shocked at the choices these people were making. Thank you for your videos. Many people in this country are in denial about the corruption in the medical field and refuse to believe the information about the J D Rockefeller connection. The programming and brainwashing have worked.
I was in a hospital for a short time a few years ago. You are right. The food would shoot your glycemic index through the roof. I attributed it to the blacks who were in charge of the menus. Fat at beachballs. How did they ever get their dietician degrees?
Very helpful and interesting. When in 2021 my husband, aged 84 and a fragile person, was hospitalized with Covid, he started recovering quite fast, but after a week he was getting weak and they wanted to get him on a catheter, and they were never letting him out of bed, he was never visited by physiotherapist or anyone who helped him move, so he started quickly deteriorating. Within 48 hours, I signed all the papers necessary because he was still positive and booked an ambulance and got him out of the hospital and brought him home and I think I saved his life, he is now 86 and still happily alive
I can relate. I fought for my mother to get the care she needed for 5.5 weeks in hospital and rehab. You don’t realize what a struggle it can be unless you experience it for yourself. Blessings to you for being an active caregiver, advocating for your husband and getting him home. May you have many more happy years together. 💜🫶💜
I was my mom's advocate. And I can tell you how sad I feel for the patients who don't have someone who cares enough to watch over them while having to be in the hospital. I made sure my mom, was treated with respect, given the correct medications, and I made sure they did not over medicate her. I also spoke to the hospitals dietician to change the food they gave not only to my mom, but for the elderly patients. They have since improved. I also complained to the Head nurse, and told her that if their nurses did not like caring for their patients they should go wash dishes, or find another job. Not everyone is fit to be a caring nurse.
So sad but TRUE 😢 I was with my mom for 3 weeks everyday early morning 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 then 2:30 to 9:00 pm and an occasional check in visits during the night I stayed in a family house next to hospital. My oh my the things they missed & I have seen this in many other hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living & home care. It’s senseless & sad. Many in the medical field are burned out / lack of important training , not enough help/ or are busy socializing with co workers. Even sleeping on the job. My heart ached for 88% had little to no family near by or with them its ridiculous & dangerous.😢
@@deniesekline-thatcher8380 That's why? I thank God, that I was able to be there for my Mom, always. And that was a blessing in itself. I loved my Mom, with all my heart. Bless you for caring and also being there.
I was my mother's advocate while she was in the hospital for an infection she got in the same hospital after a hip replacement. I had to threaten a lawsuit for them to take care of her properly. Once you're old, they just want you to die. Sad, but true.
🥼THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world" (God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. This difference is because Christ is flesh and blood; He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether it's human or God, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became human, He realized His spirit within His human body, that His human body was sufficient to carry out His work. Therefore, all the work of the Spirit of God was replaced by the work of Christ during the incarnation, and at the core of all the work during the entire incarnation was the work of Christ. Whether it's the Spirit of God or whether it's Christ, both of them are God Himself, and He's doing the work He's supposed to do and fulfilling the mystery He's supposed to perform.) Almighty God said GOD INCARNATE is CALLED CHRIST, and CHRIST is the HUMAN BODY CLOTHED by the SPIRIT of GOD. This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the INCARNATION of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His DIVINITY ACCOMPLISHES the WORK of GOD HIMSELF. WHETHER it's HUMAN or GOD, they BOTH SUBMIT to the WILL of the FATHER in HEAVEN. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, which MEANS the DIVINITY. 🙏 Therefore, His ESSENCE is that of GOD HIMSELF; this spirit will not interfere with His own work, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. Therefore, GOD INCARNATE will ABSOLUTELY NEVER do ANY WORK that INTERFERES with His OWN GOVERNANCE. This is WHAT all PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND. ☀️ The SPIRIT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE man, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. Similarly, CHRIST'S WORK is ALSO to SAVE people, and it is for GOD'S WILL. Since GOD BECAME HUMAN, He REALIZED His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY was SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. ☀️ Therefore, all the WORK of the SPIRIT of GOD was REPLACED by the WORK of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORK during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORK of CHRIST. It cannot be mixed with work from any other era. And since GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS on the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to do. WHETHER it is the SPIRIT of GOD or WHETHER it is CHRIST, BOTH of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He does the WORK He must do and FULFILLS the MYSTERY He must PERFORM. 🙏 From "The Word, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. The Spirit of Christ is the Obedience the Will of ... Fulfillment in (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev.19:9,13) 📥Calling and leading everyone to His lowered Kingdom or Church because it is still standing on earth in the holy place in the air/ youtube "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD 💐 this is the fulfillment of what He said to Peter 2,000 years ago, recorded in (Matthew 16:18'19). This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by satan so as to be perfect, having attained eternal life that will enter the coming replacement of the New Heaven and New Earth. 💌
The horror stories in this comment section just confirm my belief that not only are hospitals not healing places, they are dangerous places for the most part. Sad.
I trained as a nurse during the 1970s in England, and it was so different then. Patient care was our priority, we had grounding in recording vital signs and alerting when they changed. Meals were prepared and cooked in hospital kitchens, good nutrition. How has it gone so wrong.
@TerriblePerfection Not always I'm sorry to say. But many work really long shifts now with not much chance of proper breaks. But it's moved away from seeing patients as people too.
I am an old woman and had the privilege of working in both excellent hospitals and some horrific ones when I was young. The stories I could tell you…..but alas, I wandered. My daughters have grown up hearing the stories of hospitals, nursing homes and in-home treatment of young and old. Let us say, my daughters challenge all staff whenever I have been hospitalized. The last time the hospitals doctor and cardiologist quit my case. lol I have told my doctors that they are part of my team, since I was young, and that no one knows everything and everyone’s input is valid. If they do not agree with my concept then they need to voice it in the beginning and I will get another doctor. Doctors are important but you must take an active role in your care. After all you are the one that ultimately pays the consequences of all decisions concerning your health. You must be willing to educate yourself and not be a sheeple. It has always made me smile when people think because others have a lot of letters behind their names that they must be intelligent or good at what they do. I have met many educated idiots in my life. Good luck and be discerning to what and who you surround yourself with….
Thank you for sharing your stories. My mother was in the hospital and the blood thinner she was on was not doing the job the doctor thought it should have been doing. So, she put my mother on the strongest blood thinner available at that time. I went to see and when she moved the sheets around the IV was pink. I called the doctor and nurse in and insisted they investigate why the sheets were pink. At first they could not see there was a problem, but I was not letting them out of the room until they found out why. Going over her meds, they found that when they gave her the stronger blood thinner, they kept giving her the first one she was on! No one thought that if a stronger medication was replacing the first one, STOP THE FIRST ONE! That one was not the worst and one of many, many, many stories I could tell about hospitals. According to one study, 3 out of 5 patients admitted will experience malpractice while at the hospital. Your guard should be up and alert if a loved one is in the hospital!
Right!! Drs are part of YOUR treatment team. If they don't want to be a part of the team, then they get fired and we found a new Dr. Also, if I'm going into the hospital, I hire a nurse or find a friend or a retired nurse who has the guts to advocate for me when I can't.
This is scary. Dr. Dhand's advice is so crucial. My husband passed 2 years ago. He was in what is considered the top hospital in a major US city for treatment of a very healable autoimmune disease. Most of these protocols were ignored or sabotaged and he didn't make it. It's criminal. Never allow yourself or a loved one to go into a teaching hospital for anything serious. They're using you as a guinea pig so their interns can get training, and that's their #1 priority. Your health is 2nd or lower. I will never forget a sign in one of my doctor's offices that said that 89% of people who die in hospitals die from something the hospital caused and not from what they came in with. That's our US medical system today.
My mother 97 had mistakenly taken too much insulin, rushed to hospital. Days later, time to leave. They said she had dementia and tried to send her to care home. I asked mom, "Do you know who I am?" With a little scowl look she said, "Of course I do, you're my son!" I turned to the Dr saying, "That's good enough for me! When she can't answer that question I'll bring her back!" The Dr made a note: "Her son was argumentative and difficult." She was fine until 2 Moderna jabs, she couldn't breath and died in hospice 😭.
I'm sorry for your hard times, I pray she is in Heaven with the Lord Jesus with no more pain. Prayers going up for you and all facing struggles to come out victorious in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ's mighty name I pray ❤️
I just spent 13 days being at bedside of my blind hard of hearing 92 year old. He ended up being admitted because doctors didn't assess him properly a month before. I had to discuss constantly what was going on. I am a retired physician and am appalled a lack of history taking and physical diagnosis.
Almost everything in hospitals is XXXLG. They should have BP cuffs for small patients, but it’s too time consuming to change out the cuffs. lol. You just pull the massive cuff off & put the smaller one on, but it’s rarely if ever done. 😢
This is great advice. After a stroke and EBV, I had no idea how sick I was. An immunologist twice said to me, “You don’t know how sick you are.” I was in the ICU and didn’t even know it. I just knew I was sick. When the bills came in for ICU charges I said to my husband, “The bills say I was in the ICU.” He looked at me strangely and said “Yes, you were.” When I was taken up to a room, all they said to me is we’re getting a room ready for you, they didn’t say where it was. When we are so sick, we don’t always know it or not always told. The immunologist knew, but I was too sick to ask him questions. Especially when it’s hard to talk. Fortunately, I recovered well over time with rehab, then with additional outpatient services such as OT, OT, Speech, etc. I’m so grateful for all of the doctors, nurses, and staff that helped put me back together.
Former Registered Nurse here OH how I wish all doctors were you!!!!! I will not go back into the hospital to work ever again If I do anything I will be an advocate for people who are sick and for their families. You are providing wonderful advice to people every where. Thank you so much
05:30 "Any doctor who thinks it's not their job to speak to a loved one should not be a doctor", So MANY good points to consider in this brief video. Thank God for Dr. Dhand, and the few others like him, who have the stones to call out people in their own profession.
How refreshing to hear a Doctor give such common sense (and caring) information! Americans are over medicated and dangerously un healthy! Thank you sir!
My brother was in the hospital for colon cancer and was during Covid. It was only supposed to be a three day stay which turned into seven days because he was over medicated restrained because he woke up after anesthesia during the night confused about where he was so they confined him. within three days he was overmedicated. Had pneumonia and was dehydrated. they told me he would have to be sent to a facility and I told them he was not going anywhere because he did not come into the hospital with the issues he had after his surgery and he was not going to a facility where I could not go visit him during that time, I feel like that was been the death of him !Nobody was allowed to go to facilities to visit family covid restrictions and I think he would’ve thought I just dumped him off and forgot about him. I fought them until he could stay there and to get medication out of his system and that his pneumonia was clearing up. so he went in to have surgery and they wanted to send him out sicker than what he was when he went in. Hospitals are there to protect patients, but in this case, I felt like they were doing more harm than good ! I would never recommend the hospital that he was in to anybody. thank God the surgeon was able to get all the cancer and he is still after four years clear with no signs of cancer.
Three days after total hip replacement surgery the combination of pain killers and Zoloft I got Serotonin Syndrome. It's so rare and hard to diagnose that I was in bad condition. The ER was so busy and understaffed that if it hadn't been for my sister-in-law insisting that I was dying and making a lot of noise, I would have died. As it was I became combative, ripped out my catheter and IV's, kicked a nurse in the head, etc to the point I had to be restrained by my ankles and wrists. I thank God that I don't remember any of it but my sister-in-law saved my life by being the best advocate for me because I was incapable of doing it myself. Thank you Jody!
I would add that if it is at all possible, stay with an elderly loved one during a hospital stay, especially if they have any signs of dementia. It gets worse during hospitalization. 😢
Important that they stay hydrated. Also, urinary tract infections -UTIs - can cause symptoms of dementia, vagueness, confusion or mood changes in elderly people, often those are the only symptoms so the infection can easily be missed. Point this out and ask for a test.
94 year old father admitted to hospital after a fall. No fractures, alerted the doctor that he was unable to tolerate codeine phosphate as it made him drowsy. Fast forward to transfer to another hospital for rehab...he wasn't eating ,drinking and his urine was as black as the ace of spades. Spoke to nurse..guess what...he had been prescribed codeine phosphate x 4 daily.. Despite alerting the nurse to this, the next evening I found out he was still on same dosage...spoke to doctor who wanted to put him on oxycodone.....at this point I just put my hands on my head and said no,no,no. A day after they took him off codeine phosphate and resumed only paracetamol, he started to thrive....took him home pre care package and looked after him. He had another year and a half until his natural time was up...don't regret a minute but realised how crazy the NHS and how indoctrinated the NHS staff have become.....no critical thinking.
Write it down. Sign it maybe via a solicitor. Pack an emèrgency bag dried food water etc...video. UK have age concern...do you have something in USA Above note from video.
Nurses are the best. At my hospital, the doctors and administrators are are terrible, but I have never met a nurse that I didn’t have total faith in. Thank you for your service.
The CCC Oncologist did not want us to have access to his PET scan…a critical tool in the tool box so at hospital they kept pumping him with antibiotics for pneumonia…I stood my ground and he got transferred to ICU..I went immediately back there…finally the PET scan was released after a hissy fit and it revealed Cancer Metastasis thru lungs and spine😮Today my husband comes home on hospice for the end of his life and die at home🙏🏼Be an Advocate 💜
@@rocky1raquelsame with my husband. He was misdiagnosed originally then after losing a lot of weight and after fighting months for a MRI scan found he had stage 4 bowel cancer that had spread to liver, bone and lymph glands. Only then did we see doctors who thought the only way to go was massive chemo treatment, a colostomy bag, removal of cancer from liver and all this was to be achieved as a day patient with me as his carer and chauffeur. At no stage did they even consider his quality of life or mine, it was said that it MIGHT extend his life a few more months but he was terminal and had about 4 months to live without treatment. We decided to stay home and enjoy what time we have left without medical treatment and with the help of palliative care his Iife is still good. He was never a hospital inpatient and he plans to die at home so never will be, thank god, all trust has gone with doctors and the NHS service. I consider myself lucky to have had eleven months together since his diagnosis and every day we make it a special day. Neither of us have any regrets.
So very sorry about your husband. That oncologist should be censured for not giving you the info you needed. You can complain to his licensing board and the state credentials administration. Sadly, I think lack of communication is a BIG problem and has been for years. No one tells you anything. In a case where there are multi disciplines treating the patient, I am not sure they even communicate with each other. Every patient needs a case manager, someone to oversee their care. You have to have a strong advocate if you cannot advocate for yourself.
God Bless You Doctor!!! I am a retired 30+ yr Critical care & NICU nurse and I cannot believe what has happened to our "health care" system in the USA. I have seen our health care plummet to horrific levels. So many people think that if time passes it automatically means the "advances" in medicine are better than they were...not true! It has become a business of $$$$$ and the health of the pt is last on the list. YOU are a rarity. People today have to demand good care and deal with the medical bias of a new generation that has been trained to treat patients as a business commodity to generate income. It is shameful to watch any person in pain these days. They are denied pain medications but pumped full of all kinds of pharmaceutical drugs that have much worse side effects than their illness. It is no longer about getting your pt well, it is about medicating them to the point that it is not a "health care system" it is a " sustained sick care system".
When I turned 16 (1970) a got a job as a hospital orderly where I saw how patients were treated by some of the staff. I decided right then to do whatever it takes NOT to die in the hospital!
My 80 y/o dad was hospitalized a couple years ago with a severe UTI . While visiting him the nurse comes into the room with an insulin pen and I asked what that was for. She told me my father is diabetic and needed insulin. I kindly informed her that my dad is not a diabetic. You checked his glucose an hour after he ate the hospital breakfast (pancakes, syrup, orange juice) and that anyone’s glucose would be high after eating that. That happened twice while he was in the hospital and both times I told them he didn’t need it.
I'm an RN. One suggestion I have is to take the discharge survey seriously and demand to know what the administration plans to do about the high patient-to-caregiver ratios. The mobilizing, the toileting, walking in the hallways, etc, isn't happening because the staff are in the break room watching television. Pressure them about this.
Yes my Son had effusive bleeding...l was there I was Shock ed and l worked in the health industry for over 35yrs ....the Nursing Professionals refused to see what was happening as they were all in the office drinking coffee....eventually 2 Drs turned up to stem the bleeding...which took quite some time....after which l got him out of bed and put him in the shower as he was covered in blood....eventually he was discharged from hospital with no medication for his anaemia caused through the bleeds...
@@Whitesilver1970allowed is the Word. They are not supposed cut corners so the have longer ,more frequent smoke breaks. That's patient neglect. Do your job
I will never walk into a hospital again under my own power. If the meat wagon drags me into the hospital, when I am able, my first words will be, "Discharge me, discharge me, discharge me!" I have no intention of dying in the hospital! Hospitals have become a little slice of Hell!
Fun fact…your soul cant even travel where it needs to travel when you die in a concrete and metal box..if possible it’s best to try to die in nature or at very least at home w all the windows open, fresh air and no metal roofs either…for those of you interested in the physics behind this I highly recommend looking up DAN WINTER and his work…he’ll blow your mind WIDE OPEN.
A massive slice of Hell, and it's always been going on . Narcissists and sycophantic people work in there aswell. They just luv it having a defenceless victim. I've had it done to me even in labour twice, and watched a cancer patient getting picked on just after her operation by a doctor and his whole team. Accusing her of treating his staff wrong! I just wanted to jump to defend her but I was just so unfit after my own operation . 15 years ago and I still think on the poor girl and them horrible bastards 😢
I thank my doctor all the time. She has taken care of me for 4 decades. She Would not let me stay in the hospital when I had breast cancer surgery and sent me home. She is just like the way you treat your patients. You are terrific like my doctor.
Wow great advice. Johns Hopkins did disservice and discharged was horrible for my mom is 87. Fixed her hip she did well. They took her to rehab in a hurry. I didn’t get any discharge information. They rush us to pick rehab. Ambulance takes her there on Friday night. We see her Saturday morning and her legs are sideways. Which physical therapist shows up and knew that she shouldn’t be laying that way. He helps sit her up with me. She is in terrible pain. They only gave her Tylenol after surgery! Something was wrong with other leg too. The hip gets dislocated again and now she’s back at Johns Hopkins. They pop hip back in.Now day ten in this hospital. Now other problems are happening. Blood clot on hip side, bed soreness, other leg is swollen and they don’t know why? The leg is not broken they have done X-ray. They want her out of hospital but where can she go without using legs?
Stay out of the hospital if at all possible; obviously a stroke, heart attack, car accident, fall, head injury, broken bones, and any serious injury requires a hospital. If at all possible, try to heal at home. Sleeping & eating at home is less stressful and safer.
Well having had 4 strokes, I only sought help for 2. And then did my own digging, got to a specialist and found out I have a connection time tissue disorder that caused the strokes. So theER Dr's who were do mad that I didn't fit the clot buster protocol, well I told them I though it was vasospasm... and I was correct. They saw the brain damage, but no stroke clinic nor rehab was offered. So after we had the EDS diagnosis blood thinners stopped the strokes. But that took me figuring out my own diagnosis. Ugh.
Heart pain, 200/175 BP, I took a lot of medication and went home. I definitely am not going to get kidnapped by the hospital system, toke aspirin daily. Edit, taking 81mg aspirin daily.
We took my husband to the ER for severe abdominal pain. After alot of blood work and scans, we were told everything was normal and to see his regular Doctor in a few days. His Dr couldn't make it but sent us to another instead. On our way there we received a call from him telling us not to go to the appt but to the hospital immediately. All the labs taken at the ER a few days prior were "All over the place". He passed away a couple weeks later from a rare, untreatable cancer. I was never able to find out who read the initial tests and concluded nothing was wrong. If it happened for something that my husband went through, I can't begin to imagine what else has gone on that cause families heartbreak
Thank you so much for this! My husband has been in and out of hospital for the past few years. I go every day and speak to staff when he’s in. I agree about the discharge notes. We have a problem at weekends when there’s no qualified nursing sister in the wards because the NHS can’t afford them. Some nurses are so inadequate at English and in their medical training that their colleagues write their notes up for them! Nurses no longer wash patients. They just use wipes. Honestly, it’s not good. I get my husband home again asap as I have more Florence Nightingale in my little finger than most of the nurses. I believe that having a vigilant relative looking out for you is essential if you are ill in hospital.
As an ultrasound technologist, I’m constantly amazed at how the ordering providers do not know the appropriate imaging studies to order for the appropriate indications. No wonder many tests are negative and they don’t have answers for the patients. It’s because many times they order the wrong imaging tests!
I'm in xray, same for us.. wrong exam ordered much on the time. I do mammography now.. they can't even order a mammogram correctly.. we get screening for one side and diagnostic for other.. not the way it works..
I do think this is a huge problem. I wonder why there isn’t a consultation between the physicians and the techs about the symptoms before tests are ordered. Sure, sometimes it will be obvious what tests are needed but other times it might be smart to get the input of someone who runs that type of test all the time what they can and cannot find. Having a medical degree doesn’t make the doctor an expert in the technology available.
I went to ED after a fall whilst moving. Had Xrays, my shoulder felt dislocated, I couldn't hold my arm up. But no Xray for that! .. I had to ask a nurse for a sling as I was being discharged. She made one out of gauze andcsafery pins. However, they did Xray my head and my wrist. The attending doctor showed me my Xrays, and said, "see, nothing broken". Two days later, my GP called me on my phone, and said I had a broken wrist and to go immediately to hospital to get a temporary cast put on... I was also told the head xray showed I had a brain tumour, and an MRI had been ordered. What a shock! Fortunately the brain tumour was benign, as it had not crossed the blood-brain-barrier. Hoping it stays that way. But, still shocked at being given the wrong information initially.... wondering who decided to recheck my Xrays! - Not all medical people are created equal.
Thank you. You are a treasure! During “covid” my dad was in hospital after a heart attack and he was not allowed any visitors. He couldn’t speak to us on the phone because he was very deaf. We took food in every two days and handed it to the nurses. After those two weeks - which seemed like an eternity - I broke the rule and walked in to find him emaciated. He had not eaten at all during this time because he was unable to feed himself. Instead they had put the food on the table beside him and taken it away later. Our home cooked food was all still in the bags beside his bed, along with cards from friends. We then managed to get “permission” for one visit a day from one family member. We got him home after two more weeks, feeding him ourselves every day.
THANK YOU DOCTOR!!! Your words are brave and brutally honest. I've sadly had to witness everything you say being at hospital with my parents. You make me think there is still hope in mankind.
Wow! As a Registered Nurse, I find this so interesting because hardly any of this was done when my husband was hospitalized. I tried to be there when the Hospitalist, who knew nothing about my husband and his history, just treated what was currently going on and seemed to have no interest in knowing. He and the nurses missed the fact that he gained over 20 pounds in a 24 hour period! I noted that he looked bloated through his mid-section and then, when he was complaining about his heels hurting and I went to place a blanket under his legs, I saw what were not the legs I had been seeing almost daily for over 50 years. At that moment, my sister-in-law, also an RN, came in and marched out and wanted to see his chart with his daily weights. They tried to talk it away as inaccuracies, yada,yada,,yada. I was there when he was weighed and I knew that, yes, it was accurate, and just by looking at him you could see the difference. At this moment in time at 83, I take no prescribed meds. I worry about being hospitalized and having some random hospitalist decide I need this or that and starting me on things I really don't want to be on.
I several years ago I was admitted due to intestinal blockage and had to have emergency surgery. Five days later, I was being opened again and had small bowel resection. I stayed nearly a month after that from all the infections I got there. It nearly Killed me and I was alone with no family watch over me. The night nurses and CNA’s were horrible. One nurse dropped on the floor the tube that was to go through my nose into my stomach and did not change it. I was too sick and medicated to object and that was not the only thing I saw being done to me. The super bugs I caught cause my long stay due to the negligence of these people that were supposed to care for my health. I had to go for counseling due to PTSD. Stay away from hospitals if you can help it.
Whoever did that you should be fired. People who work in hospitals should know better something goes on the floor you get a new tubing you never put that in a person's body.
I have nursed in South Africa for +- 40 years.When I trained the hospitals were spotless.Now as I have got older and needed operations I have been shocked at the service and cleanliness of the private hospitals.I will never go to hospital even if I'm dying😢
Sadly i lost both parents to the medical system, including skilled nursing, assisted living, doctors, nurses, and their insurances. Ive heard some countries only pay the doctor if the patients are kept well! And they use natural remedies with less side effects. We need to repeal the laws that say drugs and surgery are the only medicine that is recognized! Big pharma subsidizes most medical schools, and so it goes. Please vote Democrat and we have a chance. Thank you all for your stories cause its been hard to not feel i failed them, 😭 even though i really tried, i was all alone, and it was on my watch. God is watching, pray for change.
I would also like to add that if the patient is cognitively 8:32 able to do so, s/he needs to learn how to self-advocate. Otherwise, a relative needs to advocate for the patient. Don’t just assume that because you’re in the hospital, everything will be taken care of. Take an active role in every stage of care.
Absolutely and it applies to all healthcare whether as an inpatient or outpatient. Most often people know their bodies better than their doctors so it's vital to speak up and self advocate. Your doctors don't always know what's best.
Dr thanks for your advice,I am in that problem with a loved one.He is on too much meds and I need to get to the bottom of this before something drastic happens.About to contact the doctor stat!!.God continue to bless you.
This is no help for people that don't have loved ones to advocate for them & instead have greedy bloodsuckers that can't wait till you die to get their hands on what's yours just like they did with your sibling, which sped up his death.
What got me is how they wouldn’t allow you to visit loved one on Covid floor. I’m positive my dad was killed by horrible staff. I’d give anything if I could have that time over. I would never have sent him to hospital
Retired RN here. This is great advice. I would add please be kind to the nurses and staff. Many of them are working under incredibly stressful circumstances and are doing the best they can. It is important to advocate for your family, you know them better than the staff but it is possible to do that while being respectful. Don’t be afraid to ask for a manager or patient service representative if you don’t feel you are being heard. Your voice is important but it is possible to use it without being abusive. If you are with your family, offer to help out within what the staff and you are comfortable with. You shouldn’t be expected to help but doing little things like a fresh washcloth to wash your family’s hands and face before eating can be refreshing and make the meal safer with clean hands. Skin gets very dry. Applying lotion feels great and help protects skin barrier. If your family can’t turn themselves in bed, ask for a turn chart and make sure their position is being changed every couple of hours(by the staff). If they have had surgery, remind them to do their breathing and leg exercises every hour or two while awake(important for outpatient care at home too) first couple of days
Most nurses we know, try to Act like they are the doctor and Try to be Very Bossy(but it wont work with me). They try to get you to do Their work, bossy, rude,throw their trash or used needles on the floor or on your bed, dont wash their hands, And so much more...Patients complain byt cant get nothing done about it no matter how many people and higher up they complain to..
Absolutely. I’ve been hospitalized many times and my best hospital stays have been when I’ve had a family around to do this. Staff appreciates it as well.
I'm extremely polite to nurses and any other medical staff, but its a two way street. I'm very cooperative, but my feelings were very hurt by a nurse who yelled at me to move faster after coming out of an operation, because - in her opinion, I'd only had a small operation. True, it wasn't major surgery, but I'm not young and have severe arthritis, plus I was still feeling heavily sedated. What does a patient do when feeling hurt & disrespected? That was several years ago, Now , I have to go into hospital for a more serious kidney operation, and I'm very anxious due to my last experience... and obviously not any younger! I'm wondering if I can do without surgery, and which will be the greater risk, going in, or staying out.
@@darlenecarter7859 “most “ nurses aren’t like that. If one is leaving used needles on bedding or the floor intentionally they need to be reported immediately. You have a right to request anyone wash their hands- you shouldn’t have to, but if you feel someone forgot, you have the right to ask. If you are unhappy with your care, you can ask the manager for a different nurse and tell them why. The way you have written this seems like you may have a bit of a chip on your shoulder dealing with nursing staff, but two of the concerns you mention are valid complaints.
My 94 yr old Mom unable to make decisions for herself was in hospital for 5 months waiting to get into long term care. She had pneumonia when she went in, but quickly got better. However, the hospital kept moving her around (at least once a week) and each time seeing new Doctors / nurses etc. Although there was literally nothing wrong with her, they started changing her medications without my knowledge and she started getting sick. I thought it was the food cause they kept giving her milk products - even though the dieticien told them not too. At one point, she started having stroke symptoms and was unable to feed herself!! Her blood pressure was over the top. Why? Cause they removed her blood pressure medication. You have to see medication lists every few days and make sure no one changes anything without your knowledge. I saw my Mom every single day and this still slipped between the cracks. There was never a reason to change any of her meds so I assumed they did not change any of them cause it was clear on her file only her POA can make decisions! Again, everytime they move someone, the entire process changes!!
My mantra has been "if you go into a hospital have a full time advocate." Were they trying to get rid of your Mom? My new mantra is "have a full time advocate and get the hell out of there as fast as you can." Wishing you well.
That’s infuriating. I hope she’s okay. Can I ask what city this was in? I know it’s happening everywhere but if we can avoid hospitals that are known to do this, many will. Thanks 🙏
❤️Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..🇺🇸
My elderly mother recently broke her hip. 5.5 weeks of hospital and rehab. I stayed with her and slept in a chair beside her every night, because she needed someone there to advocate for her. There were SOOO many errors, missteps, and issues of concern. I could write a book. The healthcare system is a nightmare these days. If you care about someone, be there and advocate for them when they are in the hospital or any healthcare facility.
Bravo!!! I worked as an RN for over 40 years in acute care. I appreciate that you communicate with patient and family. It frustrates me when a physician says they don’t have time to communicate with family. Everything you say is on point. Thank you for taking the time to educate.
All sound advice. Sometimes this can be used to help the patient. Near the start of the covid insanity I had a bad car wreck which resulted in a ruptured spleen. They did a great job at saving my life as I almost bleed to death. Problem was everything was of course removed from me as I went into the ER. When I awoke in my room I didn't have my glasses or anything else. They wouldn't even let my wife bring them to the hospital and drop them off in the parking lot. When they started trying to get me out of my bed I refused to without my glasses. It isn't that I just needed to see a bit better. Without them I can just make the E on the top of the chart out so I'm functionally blind without them. The lead doctor finally ignored hospital policy and I got my glasses as well as my phone so I could talk with my wife. In fact if it hadn't been for a nurse breaking the rules my wife and daughter wouldn't have even been able to see me after surgery. The staff were great and those who thumbed their noses at the hospital administrator made a huge difference in my recover but the medical establishment as a whole was disgraceful. I now question anything and everything I am told by them.
It was illegal for them to cut off your access to your lived ones. It is also illegal for them to forbid visitors. I know the hospitals did it anyway, but they were breaking the law.
My husband was hospitalized for seven months and was so mistreated I was surprised to see how nurses and Drs were so uncaring. My husband suffered a broken spirit…. Hospital are only looking to get all the insurance money and that’s it. They do not give you information at all and do not allow questions. It’s a nightmare.
Something must be done. I too am a victum of gross diagnosis but the doctor when I called him to report the nurse who gave me the shot that made me ill. I violently threw up when before I was feeling ok. I made a big fuse refused any more help. Just to fine out at home I was given drugs that was so strange with side effects so bad very very bad that's when I realized I was given drugs so unfamilia to me. They had me down as antibiotics was wrong.
I tell everyone who will listen; if you have a child or elderly person in the hospital, either stay over in the room with them as much as possible and/or insist on being involved daily. Double-check correct dossages of all medications given to your loved ones. This video expands on what I usually offer to friends as advice. I took nurses' training but did not graduate. I graduated instead with degrees in psychology. Thank you for this wonderful, life-saving advice. ❤
I'm a Clinical Pharmacist with over 4 decades of experience. I've just subscribed... Why? Because he is the FIRST doctor that has spoken the TRUTH and I note from other videos...that he always speaks the truth without fear or any concerns of what others may think...priceless! I EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING HE'S SAYING IN THIS VIDEO...particularly medicines!! MY domain...and the HASSLE I had to go through to even TRY and sort it out. All this when my elderly mother who was hospitalised and then the 'nightmare' that unfolded when transferred back to the nursing home where the standard of medical care & staff ( particularly of the clinician(s)) could only be described as ATROCIOUS. The Health care system here in the UK is BROKEN. This video is truly exceptional ( life saving without doubt) and I'm talking from real experience and expert knowledge in the harm that medicines can cause when not handled with care and scrutiny. Execellent Suneel.
I'm very sad to hear this about the UK. I was born and raised in England, when NHS and senior care, were exemplary. I live in Canada, which has healthcare similar to the UK, but its gone downhill, compared to when i moved here. Sad all round.
This is interesting to me. I was hospitalized four times in the space of two years. The staff on the floor pick and chose what meds to give me. The result was my blood pressure was never under control. Hospitals make you sicker. I'm starting to think it's a racket.
Just lost my younger brother to terminal brain cancer . Saw most of what was talked about . Some great people and some dangerous . Spent most of the day with him , doing lots of research on his meds etc often seing side effects that medical staff hadn't heard of . He was supposed to be discharged on a Monday afternoon , but in a rapid turnaround they discharged him at 2:30 am Sun . When I couldn't get help to get him into his place . I have a heart repair with a 50 lb limit. If he fell I couldnt stop him without blowing out my heart , which they were aware of. He died a few days later.
It is very interesting and disturbing to listen to the doctor's story. 8 years ago, I was admitted to the emergency room at the hospital for the treatment of a back fracture. I was signed up, but I had to wait 7 hours for the doctor to come. After all the tests, I was sent home in some kind of car that was shaking so much, I prayed to God to stay alive. During the 24 hours in hospitals I was I begged for at least a couple of cups of water and was completely dehydrated. They gave me morphine shot,which I didn't ask for, and twisted my digestive system. I returned home in a worse state. My back is fine now,but I've gotten shorter by almost 1 inch. I advise everyone to have a bath mat, so do not to slip like me. By the way,it was the Elmhurst Hospital in New York City. Be careful and stay away from that terrible place. 🙋🏼♀️♥️
Please try what an Egyptian doctor told my friend to do for the bone problems: take a teaspoon of powdered gelatin in a cop of hot water every night. (I get cheap stuff, not jell-o brand which is full of non-gelatin.)
RN 30+ years. The food in hospitals and, especially, nursing homes, is only as good as the money the corporations who own them are willing to spend. In my experience, the food vending contracts go to the lowest bidders, just like public school contracts.
Years ago, my grandmother took a box of organic apples from her tree to a small local hospital. She told the kitchen to make applesauce for the patients. They refused the apples. Instead, they served jello.
One of my favorite sayings from elderly people over my lifetime is "hospitals are not a good place for sick people." I've been in hospital several times over my life, also both my parents, and our experiences prove this is true.
My Dad was diagnosed in New Zealand as a diabetic (had malaria too) when he and his Marine platoon were taken off of Guadacanal. He was 23yrs old. After years of VA hospital treatment off and on, my Mother sought out private dr treatment. At that point, when he was hospitalized, family members could stay with him 24/7 in shifts which is what we did. (VA didnt allow that because he was usually in a 2 to 4 bed room). My son's father in law died alone in a VA hospital at night because family was not allowed after visiting hrs. Visitors were allowed with masks. Covid was still around but not rampant.
🥼THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world" (God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. This difference is because Christ is flesh and blood; He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether it's human or God, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became human, He realized His spirit within His human body, that His human body was sufficient to carry out His work. Therefore, all the work of the Spirit of God was replaced by the work of Christ during the incarnation, and at the core of all the work during the entire incarnation was the work of Christ. Whether it's the Spirit of God or whether it's Christ, both of them are God Himself, and He's doing the work He's supposed to do and fulfilling the mystery He's supposed to perform.) Almighty God said GOD INCARNATE is CALLED CHRIST, and CHRIST is the HUMAN BODY CLOTHED by the SPIRIT of GOD. This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the INCARNATION of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His DIVINITY ACCOMPLISHES the WORK of GOD HIMSELF. WHETHER it's HUMAN or GOD, they BOTH SUBMIT to the WILL of the FATHER in HEAVEN. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, which MEANS the DIVINITY. 🙏 Therefore, His ESSENCE is that of GOD HIMSELF; this spirit will not interfere with His own work, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. Therefore, GOD INCARNATE will ABSOLUTELY NEVER do ANY WORK that INTERFERES with His OWN GOVERNANCE. This is WHAT all PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND. ☀️ The SPIRIT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE man, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. Similarly, CHRIST'S WORK is ALSO to SAVE people, and it is for GOD'S WILL. Since GOD BECAME HUMAN, He REALIZED His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY was SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. ☀️ Therefore, all the WORK of the SPIRIT of GOD was REPLACED by the WORK of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORK during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORK of CHRIST. It cannot be mixed with work from any other era. And since GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS on the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to do. WHETHER it is the SPIRIT of GOD or WHETHER it is CHRIST, BOTH of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He does the WORK He must do and FULFILLS the MYSTERY He must PERFORM. 🙏 From "The Word, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. The Spirit of Christ is the Obedience the Will of ... Fulfillment in (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev.19:9,13) 📥Calling and leading everyone to His lowered Kingdom or Church because it is still standing on earth in the holy place in the air/ youtube "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD 💐 this is the fulfillment of what He said to Peter 2,000 years ago, recorded in (Matthew 16:18'19). This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by satan so as to be perfect, having attained eternal life that will enter the coming replacement of the New Heaven and New Earth. 💌
My husband had a rollover x4 auto accident in 2012. He broke 22 bones, shattered his pelvis, and a closed head injury. After 8 weeks in neuro ICU he was sent to a rehab. He was non ambulatory for approx 3 months. Mind you, I was an RN so I knew the language. He had previous co-morbidity of heart stints, double bypass, diabetes and kidney failure. I requested that he not be given sliding scale insulin because it had proven to drop his blood sugar in conjunction with Lantus. The staff didnt listen and one morning the nurse cam in while I was there took his blood sugar and it was 200+ so they gave him sliding scale and dropped his sugar to 13. Not exaggerating. Had I not been there he would have died. You got to watch out for any relative in a medical setting
I am a UK resident and in February 2024 I flew to Turkey for a Total Hip Replacement all of the above points covered by Dr Dhand were covered by my surgeon, why Turkey I am not going to wait 3 YEARS for the NHS or pay £15,000 ($19,500) I am now totally pain-free and no after surgery complications, so pay full attention to the points raised by Dr Dhand
When my late husband was sick with cancer in the hospital, I had to chase the doctor down in the hallway to make him come back and answer our questions. He’d just stick his head in the door so he could charge us for the “visit”… I made him have a real visit.
Your advice is sound. In Florida, the required ratio of CNAs to patients in skilled nursing facilities is 1:20. How on earth can one aid help twenty patients? It's criminal.
During Covid I was admitted to a well known Cleveland hospital for placement of a Cardiac stent. No physical contact with friends or relatives was allowed. While there I was seen by physicians of various disciplines. I became the cash cow. Let’s just say at one point my BP went to 90/90 because of administration of a drug not on my meds list. ( only metoprolol) At the time. I thought I was going to die and requested a priest! Looking back it seemed that because of my comprehensive medical insurance everyone wanted some. That include the doctor who looks in the room to say hi and bill for a visit. I was 76 at the time. Billing showed over $300,000.
I love that he talks about inflammatory processed foods from the hospital. Even my rheumatologist doesn’t get that piece of information. When I talk about my food diet, which is anti-inflammatory, they look at me like I’m crazy. So tired of being gaslit by the people who are supposed to be knowledgeable in treating my disease.
Regarding Vitals I absolutely HATE,HATE,HATE when I have asked about vs and they say "they're good " or "within normal limits " 🤬🤬🤬 No, no, no, I want the NUMBERS!!!🤔😡

Anyone who has worked in the healthcare knows that everyone needs an advocate. Very important!

@@margaretr5701 you need to stay as aware as you can. My mother always looked at her meds before she would take them and caught 2X’s they were about to give her the wrong medicine.

Anyone who has done 20 yrs of parent care would also know!!!! Too bad my siblings now in charge of my mother just can’t grasp it. I’m sure I got better as I learned how not to trust that the professionals knew what they were doing.. no offense - I only met a few bad nurses… one I had fired along with some cna’s for negligence at a nursing home but the other countless nurses were great. Not sure why I assumed you were in nursing lol
@@margaretr5701 widowed, no kids. It's a concern.
Great tips, Doc! Here's another: Befriend the nursing staff because they are the people who really matter. They took loving care of my 94 yr old mother who was hospitalized for 3 days with congestive heart failure. They effectively managed palliative care, easing our concerns over her comfort levels. They allowed us full access to her at all hours, even bringing a "compassion cart" of beverages and snacks. My mother's last meal was a beautiful salmon dinner, which she thoroughly enjoyed. They supported my dad when he wanted to lie in her bed and hold her one last time. Her death was peaceful and following it, her nurses wept with us. We did see a doctor once a day for a few minutes and while they were polite, it was apparent that they not only didn't know what was going on with the patient, they didn't care, either. Here's to nurses - the heart of the medical system!
My Grandad used to get on the bed with my Nan when she was in hospital, the staff didn’t dare tell him to get off. It was very beautiful to see.
Amen!❤🙏
I wish that was my 2nd last stint in Hospital was like, l have nothing good to say about the Nurse that took care (loosely) of me, l never saw her, l missed all of my meals, as l was asleep, they would whisk it away, just as l would wake up, l needed help to sit up, did not have a hand grip or whatever they are called, so l could sit myself up, the Dr was the only person that l spoke to, he told me they had to cut into my muscle, no wonder it was hard for me to sit up, as l had to have a hernia op, that Nurse was the worse l have ever had, she was dreadfully unskilled, how did she ever get the job.

My poor mom was 71 with fractures in her back. The dr left her in the bed for a week. She had to use the bed pan. They tried to get her up she had zero ability to stand or even sit on the side of the bed. She got pneumonia and mersa. She was going down hill quickly. They sent her to nursing home 4 25 days for "rehab" what a joke ...then sent home with hospice palliative care. The had her on morphine. Her bones were not strong. She was a heavy gal so much fluid!! They broke her shoulder turning her. She was so pitifil!! My heart was breaking because I felt her care sucked!!! Andressing my concerns didn' t help at all!! She passed away not long after she came home. I held my self responsible for a long time because I could not get the care I felt she needed, no one would listen!!
My husband be came very ill. I took him to ED. They ran a few test couldnt find anything and was going to send him home! I pitched a fit for a CT on his abdomen!! Turns out his gallbladder had ruptured. He was hours from dying!! Had I not demanded the test he would hsve died during the night at home!!
I hope someone will advocate for me if need be!!
Love watching your very informative videos.
I'm so sorry. This happened similar with my mom, my best friend. And now it's happening to me. Death is a blessing at this point. I have nobody. My dear best friend died March 3rd in my arms. Her asshole husb was in bed sleep. Now I am stuck living here with him. He denies air conditioning and it August! I bought a portable with my whole SSI check. But now that plug has to house my new Oxgen concentrator it just found out I need. No other place to hook thinks and I am too weak to move stuff around. I am screwed.

The leading cause of death? Hospital mistakes. Don’t ever forget that because you’ll never hear about it.
I was a nurse at the Ajax hospital in Ontario Canada in the operating room. The ENT surgeon ear, nose and throat gave a lethal dose of medication injected into her nose. This patient was 17 years old, perfectly healthy, female, injected that into her nose. This medication was supposed to be used differently and he used it as injected because the Ajax hospital never labelled their medication‘s. I told them when I first started working there to do it and they didn’t do it the 17 year old died of like such a routine procedure and of course the administration covered for the nurse and the Doctor Who were at fault who killed this girl it’s absolutely sickening. Sickening sickening don’t go to. The hospital they literally will kill you

100%, a true HERO
Nice to see a doctor who actually cares🙏🏻
I’m willing to bet that his politics are inclusive because I’ve noticed that those who don’t seem to care are almost always extremely conservative. While I lean conservative myself, my wife, who is a liberal and an internal medicine physician, has been telling me for years about the mean, conservative doctors no one ever talks about. After hearing her stories and meeting some of these doctors at events, as well as personal experience, I’ve come to see her point. When it comes to my healthcare, I’d definitely choose a liberal doctor any day! 😂😊
If you don’t like America come back to the UK and work for the people who trained you! I’m sick of UK drs going to another country after training here
He doesnt care, he was pushing the covid shot
Hes Not a real Dr. He cares.

I was put into a medically induced coma, which actually saved my life. But while in the coma they kept me pumped up with fentanyl. My youngest son asked if I was in any pain and the doctor said no. My son then asked why was I being kept on fentanyl. The doctor started getting pissed at my son and made some smart ass remark, "oh looks like we have a wanna be doctor in here". My son looked him dead in the eye and said, no, I'm a former drug addict who knows exactly what long term fentanyl can do. I was off the fentanyl within 15 minutes. Came out of the coma with no physical or psychological issues. BUT everything I have read stated if I was kept on the fentanyl for much longer, I would have needed extensive physical therapy. WTH are these doctors and hospitals doing????
That is a terrifying experience. Sad that your son became drug addicted but ultimately it saved YOUR life! What a blessing he stood up to that Dr. You raised a good 'un.
In some cases their disabling people permanently with medical side effects.
In some cases intentionally being done.

Afterwards I discovered they gave me IV Madazalam and IV Fentanyl it took me 3 days to start recovery from these drugs. A general anesthetic and I'd feel fine within 24 hours.
The combination of these drugs can be deadly for much younger people, let alone someone in their 70s with a lung condition.

When my Mother was in hospital I went up every day to care for her and give her a bed bath. The nurses just stayed by their work station. I also helped the other five patients in her small ward. As a retired nurse myself I was disgusted at the non existent care from the nurses. It was appalling. Even on Christmas Day it was the same, not festive at all, a very depressing atmosphere. A total contrast to when I was on duty as a nurse. I can tell you some awful things and how you have to fight for your loved ones to get them the care they deserve. My advice is try really hard to stay out of hospital because you'll go in with something curable and come out in a box!
Tell your government officials to hire more Nurses and pay them more!
Very commendable of you Susan ❤️
@@dianaaquino7152from my observation of family members in hospital, there are some (many) true angels and heroes within the health system. There are also those who do the bare minimum they can get away with and those who I wouldn’t want caring for my houseplants. And the system doesn’t have a way of differentiating between them. A doctor having to say this about professional medical care on a YT video is actually shameful.
@@dianaaquino7152nurses are paid very well. Most I know make 6 figures.
In hospital, when my husband haemorrhaged nobody responded to the emergency call. As soon as I could I ran to the nurses' station. Two nurses were chatting. I told one to come to my husband. When she said she'd come in a minute I dragged her by her arms along the corridor. My husband passed three days later. I had stayed at his bedside all the time because I didn't trust them to care for him.
Ever since hospitals became for-profit instead of non-profit everything went downhill. The greed of corporate CEO’s caused this disaster in the US.

But isnt there months long wait for care?@@margaretr5701
These greedy corporations, Amazon, Walmart, Blackrock, Fidelity, Vanguard, all got on the boards for the hospitals and are making decisions. If you can find an independent doctor out there, that's your best chance of surviving. Nowadays, it's turning to like a duck in a box they involve different people, and nobody takes any responsibility ,they pass you around like you're on a merry-go-round. Every doctor put you on a prescription passes you to the next guy. He puts you on a prescription. The only people getting ahead. Here are the drug companies. Doctors are getting paid but how many patients they see and they seem to have to get approvals from the hospital board in order to treat people. Seems like doctors are working on contract rather then being independent medical professionals.
Socialism never ever ever succeeds. The Canadian healthcare system is a disaster just wanting to euthanize people. they make it look like it's the thing to do to save money
Not the reason. Canadian social health care in a mess.

My husband had a heart attack last year and was air lifted to a major hospital in our state. You live in a fantasy world if you believe any of your suggestions will be allowed. I was lucky to find a nurse who would bring water or a bed pan. I talked to a cardiologist twice in the 17 days he was there. I brought him home, unable to walk or sit up because the hospital was killing him.
His room in ICU was beyond filthy. I took photos because I knew no one would believe it. Of course, he came home with a terrible UTI. They didn't even check his urine before being discharged. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.
OMG horrible.
I believe you 100%. I experienced a similar thing. Room I had to be in was in isolation and when they carted me in there it had not been cleaned at all!!! It was an Adventist Hospital near my house. O another occasion in a different hospital after a hysterectomy one of the nurses was yelling at me and manhandling me because I was in so much pain I couldn't go the the bathroom. I called my doctor and told him I was going home and the next day I did. If you want to live you must stay out of hospitals.
How is he doing now? 🌹⚘🌻
Horrifying treatment. WOW!.
I had a quadruple by-pass recently and spent 10 days in hospital, 3 in intensive care and 7 in a general surgical ward. Personally, I couldn't praise enough the staff in intensive care at Wellington Hospital [NZ]. However, even with me insisting on being up and about in the General Ward, I still lost 6kg in 10 days! And I certainly wasn't overweight as I was walking 10 ~ 12km a day, eating very healthy and hunting. I lost muscle tissue and in those ten days I appeared to age 10 years! Hospital is a last resort!!!!!
My father wasn’t feeling well and we had him checked for cancer.
His tests came back clean.
He slipped in the bathroom in the middle of the night and hit his head which needed stitches.
After he spent the night at the hospital, they told us he had liver cancer and had two days to live!
We were in shock because he went from three staples to hospice with 2 days to live.
In hospice he was given too much morphine as if they were trying to off him fast.
The “nurse” took away his oxygen tube saying he may tangle it up and choke!?
*Never heard of anyone choking themselves on an oxygen tube!*
They take advantage of you when you’re in shock and pre-grieving; you’re afraid to say “Wait, why are you doing that?”
I’m forever haunted by not stopping that nurse from taking his oxygen away.
His primary Dr. couldn’t enter the hospital because he wasn’t part of that “corporation”.
He kept telling us they were giving him too much morphine which was true because he was walking around two days before.
I didn’t want him to be in pain but his communication was suddenly limited.
It all happened so fast and the “players” in the hospital knew exactly what to say and do; we were putty in their hands.
Love you Dad 😥💔💫🕊️
Hospitals are corporations. There to make money. Yes, they help but their primary goal is reaping $$$ from insurance companies.
Heart breaking, I also had bad experiences when my mum was in hospital, they do try and hasten the end, I hadn’t the experience to know how to handle them, it’s unbelievably evil they can be… they are supposed to care….😢 Like you it lives with you forever,..
This is a heartbreaking story I’m so sorry to read this ❤️
Hospice seems to be a requirement now. Just another way to get their money. For some reason they think it's their job to take all you have before you die and put it in their pockets.
@@beckygleasman408 Insurance companies love hospitals. They work hand in hand. They both make bank every week. Our local hospital has meetings with each department on Thursdays. If a department hasn't made bank they are in deep trouble. A person I know that left under nondisclosure said she feels sorry for anyone in the hospital from Friday through the weekend because they will get every vaxx, med, or whatever until the money is made. Shareholders come first along with the CEO. Insurance companies make a lot of money off those things mentioned.

@@dwanavent3067 More so in many ways. Terrifying.
Many years ago, my elderly neighbor was in the hospital and the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with her. I took her husband to the hospital every day, at a time when the doctors would make their rounds. They couldn’t answer our questions, as they had not come to a diagnosis. But when they’d see us in the hallways, they’d duck us and go into the nearest room to get away. One time, they actually went into the utility closet! However, because of our constant appearance, they continued to test her, until they finally found that she had a psoas abscess, which is something that’s apparently unusual. The moral of the story is that every patient (regardless of how old) needs an advocate to show to the staff that someone is paying attention.
Oh wow. Who would have a thought an abscess in the psoas? What were the symptoms? So glad everything worked out for her.
Thank u for sharing such important
information. We need more doctors like you.
As a nurse, I've witnessed docs dodge family (and even their patients) routinely. In general, they don't like to meet with families because it takes more time, they just don't like to, and sometimes with good reason such as there's too many ppl to talk to and they have to repeat stuff over and over and there's differing attitudes and opinions, etc. Assign one person in the family to be the communicator for the family and let the doc know who the assigned person is. The doc will be far less apt to dodge you, unless you're obnoxious.
@@mojo7493 I have found that many doctors don’t like to be questioned, particularly if they don’t know the answers.
You have no idea how accurate this is. A few years ago I had a very major surgery and I'm single. Even though I have dear friends, none of them could be there when the doctors did rounds At the crack of dawn. The chief resident always gave me an excuse and was out the door before I could get a question halfway out. And I was in no physical condition to chase after that piece of turd.
Thankfully my surgeon Was much more receptive and when I explained the horrific treatment , well it was clear he read him the riot act. I still showed it to think what kind of doctor That rude jerk turned into..... So glad You and her husband were able to be there for her! It truly was terrifying. 1 of my cousins almost drove 7 hours ago Because they thought they were trying to kill me. It's really hard without an advocate.
By the way my cousin wasn't wrong. When I ended up in the rehab hospital after the surgery learning to walk again I picked up 1 of the worst infections of my life. Thankfully I had made my best friend who is local my healthcare proxy.. Diagnosis or send me to the hospital. Because she had the healthcare proxy . Because she had the healthcare proxy they sent me and I was on the cusp of going septic which can be quite deadly. I know that all too well as I know how I lost my mom
Thank you so very much for your helpful words. You are so right about the terrible food. Also very dangerous is the lack of sleep. He was awakened every hour to check his vitals. He might have slept a total of 9 hours in 4 days. You are there for their convenience, and that does not include rest. My husband had the widowmaker heart attack at age 63. He had open heart surgery. Next day he immediately developed unstoppable diarrhea. They would bring up his food trays full of processed carbs and fats. They tried to get him to eat a barbecue beef sandwich with fries and coleslaw. I was livid. I said he needs a cardiac recovery diet, and he has an intestinal infection. He shouldn't be getting up and down all day and night. He was exhausted and his complexion was ashen .Nothing changed. He was on the toilet every 45 minutes around the clock for days while they continued to pump him full of drugs on an empty stomach. Nobody would listen. He got sicker and sicker. They wouldn't run a stool culture, (I suspected c-difficile). We said "we are going home". This was the 4th day after surgery. We signed out against medical advice. I brought him home and made him homemade pureed carrot and red potato soup with onions, garlic, herbs and chicken stock. He lived on this, probiotics and broiled fish for a week. The next day after we returned home, his diarrhea stopped, and his appetite returned. They were killing him with the garbage they tried to make him eat.
I had learned about cooked carrots being a remedy for diarrhea years ago. It seemed simple and digestible to make a soup. He was so grateful to eat something that made him feel stronger and settled his stomach. Today he is fully recovered.
Excellent for your care

Kudos to you for being a great wife and following your gut! I'm sure you probably saved his life.
You are the Doctor everyone desires, Dr.Dhand! As a retired RN who has worked in many hospitals and has been a recent patient…I can say all of what you are saying is so true. Patients aren’t receiving the care they used to. It isn’t consistent from shift to shift. You have new residents ( interns) changing your standard medicines, writing incorrect diagnoses in notes that insurance companies refuse to pay for and conflicting discharge instructions printed out. Also, you are required to see your personal attending physician shortly after discharge and their scheduler cannot get you an appointment with your doctor and try to set you up with another doctor because offices close at 3:30 or 4:00 now. Therefore, again, no continuity of care. Someone who does not know you and glances at a few notes is again changing your care plan and possibly endangering your health.
You have got to be your own advocate. I think you are amazing to call family/loved ones to relay correct information. That shows that you are a doctor who became a doctor for all the right reasons. This needs to be a mandatory teaching in medical schools again and again. Thank you for your excellent compassionate care of all of your patients every needs. You are truly a gem.🎉
I have been a registered nurse for 45 years and this advice is excellent!
Me too and agree 100%
42 years....100 percent correct.
I am a retired RN and no one in our family goes to hospital without an advocate.
Since the "pandemic" no one even goes to a doctors visit without an advocate and the advocate is usually me😍
God bless ALL of you nurses! Thank YOU for your service….❤
It's your body, but it's THEIR livelihood
That's where we buck horns!
I’ve had nurses and doctors argue with me and tell me I’m bossy about my body. This is when they are starting IV’s. I’ve had 42 surgeries, am a downwinder, and am a walking science experiment. I’ve had hundreds of IV’s. I know where they can be started and where they cannot. I know my body and that’s what I tell them. It’s MY BODY!!!! Boy, that irritates them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come out of the OR with holes all over the back of my hands because they were going to get an IV started there just because I told them it’s impossible. Well, they learn that I’m right - every time! So annoying!
Dr. Suneel; you are a true humanitarian of a Doctor!
you are obviously british; may i ask, why are you working in usa ? will you come back to uk?

Thank you for your advice.
Dr.Suneel I'm so grateful you made this video. I just found you because of it. I'm now a subscriber. You are a rare doctor, a blessing to me and many others. May God Bless You Always. Take good care of yourself too! ❤ 🙏
I agree cofounder.
Not only stay out hospitals, stay out of nursing homes!!! I was pushed into one. By the time I got home, my life was amess. My pets were re-homed, and my bills were behind, plus you still have to pay your RENT! I'm still trying to get things back to normal. I'm more traumatized from the nursing home than the busted leg. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
That’s dreadful 😮
Did you get your pets back?
Hope things are improving for you and you get your pets back, as they are the best medicine ever. 🥰🇬🇧
I'm so sorry that you lost your pets ❤
Hospitals are no longer trustworthy like many years ago. I pray eveyday for God to keep me out of 2 places. The hospital, and the jail house.
I just spent a week in hospital and two weeks in after care. At age 79, I was on my own. I was treated very well in the hospital, only ran into one CNA with an attitude. No problem.
The hospital had a full menu to order from and most of the food I ordered was excellent.
However I ordered healthy items. There were plenty of unhealthy choices on the menu.
In aftercare I was eating in the dining room and noticed most of the people were ordering sweets and carbs and cokes every meal. They were like walking beach balls and they were having pancakes for breakfast with a sandwich for lunch. I was having scrambled egg and sausage with fruit and if the fruit was canned I would ask for yogurt. The other meals I was ordering just the meat. No potatoes or bread, the veggies were horrible so I didn’t order them either. I was shocked at the choices these people were making.
Thank you for your videos. Many people in this country are in denial about the corruption in the medical field and refuse to believe the information about the J D Rockefeller connection. The programming and brainwashing have worked.
You were very fortunate!! I'm curious, what city and state is your hospital in?
Ogden, utah
I was in a hospital for a short time a few years ago. You are right. The food would shoot your glycemic index through the roof. I attributed it to the blacks who were in charge of the menus. Fat at beachballs. How did they ever get their dietician degrees?
@theaccountant5133 Why were you in a hospital staffed by blacks , could you not afford one that catered to whites
Thankyou , I live in salt lake .
Very helpful and interesting. When in 2021 my husband, aged 84 and a fragile person, was hospitalized with Covid, he started recovering quite fast, but after a week he was getting weak and they wanted to get him on a catheter, and they were never letting him out of bed, he was never visited by physiotherapist or anyone who helped him move, so he started quickly deteriorating. Within 48 hours, I signed all the papers necessary because he was still positive and booked an ambulance and got him out of the hospital and brought him home and I think I saved his life, he is now 86 and still happily alive
Very clever of you. Glad you still have him.😊❤
Amen 🙏🏻
I can relate. I fought for my mother to get the care she needed for 5.5 weeks in hospital and rehab. You don’t realize what a struggle it can be unless you experience it for yourself. Blessings to you for being an active caregiver, advocating for your husband and getting him home. May you have many more happy years together. 💜🫶💜
A good ending is so nice to hear! God bless you both!🙏❤️
You did save his life. God bless you.
What a decent man to take the time out of his busy life, to give his much appreciated advice, thanks
I was my mom's advocate. And I
can tell you how sad I feel for the
patients who don't have someone who cares enough to
watch over them
while having to be
in the hospital.
I made sure my mom, was treated
with respect, given the correct
medications, and
I made sure they did not over medicate her. I also spoke to the
hospitals dietician
to change the food they gave not only to my mom, but for the
elderly patients.
They have since
improved. I also
complained to the
Head nurse, and told her that if their nurses did not like caring for
their patients they should go
wash dishes, or find another job.
Not everyone is fit
to be a caring nurse.
So true and nowadays most hospitals are understaffed and overworked !
Good for you!
👍🏽 same
So sad but TRUE 😢 I was with my mom for 3 weeks everyday early morning 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 then 2:30 to 9:00 pm and an occasional check in visits during the night I stayed in a family house next to hospital. My oh my the things they missed & I have seen this in many other hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living & home care. It’s senseless & sad. Many in the medical field are burned out / lack of important training , not enough help/ or are busy socializing with co workers. Even sleeping on the job.
My heart ached for 88% had little to no family near by or with them its ridiculous & dangerous.😢
@@deniesekline-thatcher8380
That's why? I thank God, that I was able
to be there for my
Mom, always. And that was a blessing
in itself. I loved my
Mom, with all my

caring and also being
there.
Boy, I wish you were my doctor!! ❤️
Me too
ME TOO ! I'm serious
i've been so ill since doctors got ahold of me.
oh, and dentists as well !😭😢
I was my mother's advocate while she was in the hospital for an infection she got in the same hospital after a hip replacement. I had to threaten a lawsuit for them to take care of her properly. Once you're old, they just want you to die. Sad, but true.
Wow! Dr. Dhand you are one in a few thousands showing empathy by talking to family in person or on phone. Thank you. Bless
If I were admitted to the hospital, my blood pressure would be elevated because of the stress
🥼THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
(God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. This difference is because Christ is flesh and blood; He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether it's human or God, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became human, He realized His spirit within His human body, that His human body was sufficient to carry out His work. Therefore, all the work of the Spirit of God was replaced by the work of Christ during the incarnation, and at the core of all the work during the entire incarnation was the work of Christ. Whether it's the Spirit of God or whether it's Christ, both of them are God Himself, and He's doing the work He's supposed to do and fulfilling the mystery He's supposed to perform.)
Almighty God said
GOD INCARNATE is CALLED CHRIST, and CHRIST is the HUMAN BODY CLOTHED by the SPIRIT of GOD. This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the INCARNATION of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His DIVINITY ACCOMPLISHES the WORK of GOD HIMSELF. WHETHER it's HUMAN or GOD, they BOTH SUBMIT to the WILL of the FATHER in HEAVEN. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, which MEANS the DIVINITY. 🙏
Therefore, His ESSENCE is that of GOD HIMSELF; this spirit will not interfere with His own work, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. Therefore, GOD INCARNATE will ABSOLUTELY NEVER do ANY WORK that INTERFERES with His OWN GOVERNANCE. This is WHAT all PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND. ☀️
The SPIRIT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE man, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. Similarly, CHRIST'S WORK is ALSO to SAVE people, and it is for GOD'S WILL. Since GOD BECAME HUMAN, He REALIZED His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY was SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. ☀️
Therefore, all the WORK of the SPIRIT of GOD was REPLACED by the WORK of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORK during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORK of CHRIST. It cannot be mixed with work from any other era. And since GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS on the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to do. WHETHER it is the SPIRIT of GOD or WHETHER it is CHRIST, BOTH of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He does the WORK He must do and FULFILLS the MYSTERY He must PERFORM. 🙏
From "The Word, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. The Spirit of Christ is the Obedience the Will of ...
Fulfillment in (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev.19:9,13)
📥Calling and leading everyone to His lowered Kingdom or Church because it is still standing on earth in the holy place in the air/ youtube "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD 💐 this is the fulfillment of what He said to Peter 2,000 years ago, recorded in (Matthew 16:18'19).
This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by satan so as to be perfect,
having attained eternal life that will enter the coming replacement of the New Heaven and New Earth. 💌
True
Same here. They tried to give me meds straight away but I requested 24 hr BP holter which showed that my BP is normal.
Mine always goes up if I have even my routine 6 mo. Med check at Dr. Office. And I only take 2 meds!
@@annettefournier9655 ask for 24 hr halter. You maybe taking meds for nothing
The horror stories in this comment section just confirm my belief that not only are hospitals not healing places, they are dangerous places for the most part.
Sad.
I trained as a nurse during the 1970s in England, and it was so different then. Patient care was our priority, we had grounding in recording vital signs and alerting when they changed. Meals were prepared and cooked in hospital kitchens, good nutrition. How has it gone so wrong.
@@user-qh8nh7oe6d I should have added that nurses are typically the BEST part of a hospital stay. 🥰
@TerriblePerfection Not always I'm sorry to say. But many work really long shifts now with not much chance of proper breaks. But it's moved away from seeing patients as people too.
@@user-qh8nh7oe6d I have heard some nurses say that medical care in the U.S. went down when Obamacare started.

I am an old woman and had the privilege of working in both excellent hospitals and some horrific ones when I was young. The stories I could tell you…..but alas, I wandered. My daughters have grown up hearing the stories of hospitals, nursing homes and in-home treatment of young and old. Let us say, my daughters challenge all staff whenever I have been hospitalized. The last time the hospitals doctor and cardiologist quit my case. lol I have told my doctors that they are part of my team, since I was young, and that no one knows everything and everyone’s input is valid. If they do not agree with my concept then they need to voice it in the beginning and I will get another doctor.
Doctors are important but you must take an active role in your care. After all you are the one that ultimately pays the consequences of all decisions concerning your health. You must be willing to educate yourself and not be a sheeple. It has always made me smile when people think because others have a lot of letters behind their names that they must be intelligent or good at what they do. I have met many educated idiots in my life. Good luck and be discerning to what and who you surround yourself with….
Truth!!!!!
Amen!
Very wise words
Thank you for sharing your stories. My mother was in the hospital and the blood thinner she was on was not doing the job the doctor thought it should have been doing. So, she put my mother on the strongest blood thinner available at that time. I went to see and when she moved the sheets around the IV was pink. I called the doctor and nurse in and insisted they investigate why the sheets were pink. At first they could not see there was a problem, but I was not letting them out of the room until they found out why. Going over her meds, they found that when they gave her the stronger blood thinner, they kept giving her the first one she was on! No one thought that if a stronger medication was replacing the first one, STOP THE FIRST ONE! That one was not the worst and one of many, many, many stories I could tell about hospitals. According to one study, 3 out of 5 patients admitted will experience malpractice while at the hospital. Your guard should be up and alert if a loved one is in the hospital!
Right!! Drs are part of YOUR treatment team. If they don't want to be a part of the team, then they get fired and we found a new Dr.
Also, if I'm going into the hospital, I hire a nurse or find a friend or a retired nurse who has the guts to advocate for me when I can't.
This is scary. Dr. Dhand's advice is so crucial. My husband passed 2 years ago. He was in what is considered the top hospital in a major US city for treatment of a very healable autoimmune disease. Most of these protocols were ignored or sabotaged and he didn't make it. It's criminal. Never allow yourself or a loved one to go into a teaching hospital for anything serious. They're using you as a guinea pig so their interns can get training, and that's their #1 priority. Your health is 2nd or lower. I will never forget a sign in one of my doctor's offices that said that 89% of people who die in hospitals die from something the hospital caused and not from what they came in with. That's our US medical system today.
My mother 97 had mistakenly taken too much insulin, rushed to hospital. Days later, time to leave.
They said she had dementia and tried to send her to care home. I asked mom, "Do you know who I am?" With a little scowl look she said, "Of course I do, you're my son!" I turned to the Dr saying, "That's good enough for me! When she can't answer that question I'll bring her back!"
The Dr made a note: "Her son was argumentative and difficult."
She was fine until 2 Moderna jabs, she couldn't breath and died in hospice 😭.
Sorry you both had to go through that, good for you standing up for her.
Sorry you had to go thru that. It just seems like no one is competent now and people change daily, so no handover with QA/QC.
I am so sorry for your loss. 💗
I’m so sorry 😢
I'm sorry for your hard times, I pray she is in Heaven with the Lord Jesus with no more pain. Prayers going up for you and all facing struggles to come out victorious in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ's mighty name I pray ❤️
How l wish all doctors are like this caring doctor. Sadly, many people are alone and have no one.
I just spent 13 days being at bedside of my blind hard of hearing 92 year old. He ended up being admitted because doctors didn't assess him properly a month before. I had to discuss constantly what was going on. I am a retired physician and am appalled a lack of history taking and physical diagnosis.

@@curiousone6129yes. They are supposed to use the appropriate size.
Almost everything in hospitals is XXXLG. They should have BP cuffs for small patients, but it’s too time consuming to change out the cuffs. lol. You just pull the massive cuff off & put the smaller one on, but it’s rarely if ever done. 😢
This is great advice. After a stroke and EBV, I had no idea how sick I was. An immunologist twice said to me, “You don’t know how sick you are.” I was in the ICU and didn’t even know it. I just knew I was sick. When the bills came in for ICU charges I said to my husband, “The bills say I was in the ICU.” He looked at me strangely and said “Yes, you were.” When I was taken up to a room, all they said to me is we’re getting a room ready for you, they didn’t say where it was. When we are so sick, we don’t always know it or not always told. The immunologist knew, but I was too sick to ask him questions. Especially when it’s hard to talk. Fortunately, I recovered well over time with rehab, then with additional outpatient services such as OT, OT, Speech, etc.
I’m so grateful for all of the doctors, nurses, and staff that helped put me back together.
My experience was identical to yours
God bless😊
Former Registered Nurse here OH how I wish all doctors were you!!!!! I will not go back into the hospital to work ever again If I do anything I will be an advocate for people who are sick and for their families. You are providing wonderful advice to people every where. Thank you so much

05:30 "Any doctor who thinks it's not their job to speak to a loved one should not be a doctor",
So MANY good points to consider in this brief video.
Thank God for Dr. Dhand, and the few others like him, who have the stones to call out people in their own profession.
How refreshing to hear a Doctor give such common sense (and caring) information! Americans are over medicated and dangerously un healthy! Thank you sir!
People need to sleep to recover and that can be impossible in the chaos of the hospital.
My brother was in the hospital for colon cancer and was during Covid. It was only supposed to be a three day stay which turned into seven days because he was over medicated restrained because he woke up after anesthesia during the night confused about where he was so they confined him. within three days he was overmedicated. Had pneumonia and was dehydrated. they told me he would have to be sent to a facility and I told them he was not going anywhere because he did not come into the hospital with the issues he had after his surgery and he was not going to a facility where I could not go visit him during that time, I feel like that was been the death of him !Nobody was allowed to go to facilities to visit family covid restrictions and I think he would’ve thought I just dumped him off and forgot about him. I fought them until he could stay there and to get medication out of his system and that his pneumonia was clearing up. so he went in to have surgery and they wanted to send him out sicker than what he was when he went in. Hospitals are there to protect patients, but in this case, I felt like they were doing more harm than good ! I would never recommend the hospital that he was in to anybody. thank God the surgeon was able to get all the cancer and he is still after four years clear with no signs of cancer.
Good thing you spoke up for him

Three days after total hip replacement surgery the combination of pain killers and Zoloft I got Serotonin Syndrome. It's so rare and hard to diagnose that I was in bad condition. The ER was so busy and understaffed that if it hadn't been for my sister-in-law insisting that I was dying and making a lot of noise, I would have died. As it was I became combative, ripped out my catheter and IV's, kicked a nurse in the head, etc to the point I had to be restrained by my ankles and wrists. I thank God that I don't remember any of it but my sister-in-law saved my life by being the best advocate for me because I was incapable of doing it myself. Thank you Jody!
Love to Jody ❤
Thank you Jody
Jody, warrior!
I would add that if it is at all possible, stay with an elderly loved one during a hospital stay, especially if they have any signs of dementia. It gets worse during hospitalization. 😢
It's the food and stress.
Yes, my mom was lucky . 6 children. We made sure there was always one of us present.
stay with EVERY FAMILY MEMBER when hospitalized...
Important that they stay hydrated.
Also, urinary tract infections -UTIs - can cause symptoms of dementia, vagueness, confusion or mood changes in elderly people, often those are the only symptoms so the infection can easily be missed.
Point this out and ask for a test.
94 year old father admitted to hospital after a fall. No fractures, alerted the doctor that he was unable to tolerate codeine phosphate as it made him drowsy. Fast forward to transfer to another hospital for rehab...he wasn't eating ,drinking and his urine was as black as the ace of spades. Spoke to nurse..guess what...he had been prescribed codeine phosphate x 4 daily..
Despite alerting the nurse to this, the next evening I found out he was still on same dosage...spoke to doctor who wanted to put him on oxycodone.....at this point I just put my hands on my head and said no,no,no. A day after they took him off codeine phosphate and resumed only paracetamol, he started to thrive....took him home pre care package and looked after him. He had another year and a half until his natural time was up...don't regret a minute but realised how crazy the NHS and how indoctrinated the NHS staff have become.....no critical thinking.
I am 84. When I go to the hospital, I have no family to communicate with the nurse or anyone else. This video talks about someone with family, period.
I’m with you, I have no one either to be an advocate.
i can feel you,
am alone too, wish i had atleast one person to support in difficult times,
Write it down. Sign it maybe via a solicitor. Pack an emèrgency bag dried food water etc...video. UK have age concern...do you have something in USA Above note from video.
20yr long nurse here. Dr. Dhand is the best! Love him and he speaks the truth!
Nurses are the best. At my hospital, the doctors and administrators are are terrible, but I have never met a nurse that I didn’t have total faith in. Thank you for your service.
The CCC Oncologist did not want us to have access to his PET scan…a critical tool in the tool box so at hospital they kept pumping him with antibiotics for pneumonia…I stood my ground and he got transferred to ICU..I went immediately back there…finally the PET scan was released after a hissy fit and it revealed Cancer Metastasis thru lungs and spine😮Today my husband comes home on hospice for the end of his life and die at home🙏🏼Be an Advocate 💜

@@rocky1raquelsame with my husband. He was misdiagnosed originally then after losing a lot of weight and after fighting months for a MRI scan found he had stage 4 bowel cancer that had spread to liver, bone and lymph glands. Only then did we see doctors who thought the only way to go was massive chemo treatment, a colostomy bag, removal of cancer from liver and all this was to be achieved as a day patient with me as his carer and chauffeur. At no stage did they even consider his quality of life or mine, it was said that it MIGHT extend his life a few more months but he was terminal and had about 4 months to live without treatment. We decided to stay home and enjoy what time we have left without medical treatment and with the help of palliative care his Iife is still good. He was never a hospital inpatient and he plans to die at home so never will be, thank god, all trust has gone with doctors and the NHS service. I consider myself lucky to have had eleven months together since his diagnosis and every day we make it a special day. Neither of us have any regrets.
So very sorry about your husband. That oncologist should be censured for not giving you the info you needed. You can complain to his licensing board and the state credentials administration. Sadly, I think lack of communication is a BIG problem and has been for years. No one tells you anything. In a case where there are multi disciplines treating the patient, I am not sure they even communicate with each other. Every patient needs a case manager, someone to oversee their care. You have to have a strong advocate if you cannot advocate for yourself.
😢😢
Dr Berg and Dr O'Neill "I might get bannedd for this..."
Hi from Scotland what a lovely doctor you are, i wish there was more like you.
God Bless You Doctor!!! I am a retired 30+ yr Critical care & NICU nurse and I cannot believe what has happened to our "health care" system in the USA. I have seen our health care plummet to horrific levels. So many people think that if time passes it automatically means the "advances" in medicine are better than they were...not true! It has become a business of $$$$$ and the health of the pt is last on the list. YOU are a rarity. People today have to demand good care and deal with the medical bias of a new generation that has been trained to treat patients as a business commodity to generate income. It is shameful to watch any person in pain these days. They are denied pain medications but pumped full of all kinds of pharmaceutical drugs that have much worse side effects than their illness. It is no longer about getting your pt well, it is about medicating them to the point that it is not a "health care system" it is a " sustained sick care system".
When I turned 16 (1970) a got a job as a hospital orderly where I saw how patients were treated by some of the staff. I decided right then to do whatever it takes NOT to die in the hospital!
Thx beautiful myg
My 80 y/o dad was hospitalized a couple years ago with a severe UTI . While visiting him the nurse comes into the room with an insulin pen and I asked what that was for. She told me my father is diabetic and needed insulin. I kindly informed her that my dad is not a diabetic. You checked his glucose an hour after he ate the hospital breakfast (pancakes, syrup, orange juice) and that anyone’s glucose would be high after eating that. That happened twice while he was in the hospital and both times I told them he didn’t need it.
Careless, stupid nurse.
The more made-up aliments they can come up with the more $ they get.
I'm an RN. One suggestion I have is to take the discharge survey seriously and demand to know what the administration plans to do about the high patient-to-caregiver ratios. The mobilizing, the toileting, walking in the hallways, etc, isn't happening because the staff are in the break room watching television. Pressure them about this.
plus hospital fired almost everyone after Covid reason given: didn't make $ during Covid
Yes my Son had effusive bleeding...l was there I was Shock ed and l worked in the health industry for over 35yrs ....the Nursing Professionals refused to see what was happening as they were all in the office drinking coffee....eventually 2 Drs turned up to stem the bleeding...which took quite some time....after which l got him out of bed and put him in the shower as he was covered in blood....eventually he was discharged from hospital with no medication for his anaemia caused through the bleeds...
Nurses are not aloud to have a break?
I have never heard a doctor list all these important tips…and I am a retired RN. Listen to this Doctor, he is genuine.

I will never walk into a hospital again under my own power. If the meat wagon drags me into the hospital, when I am able, my first words will be, "Discharge me, discharge me, discharge me!" I have no intention of dying in the hospital! Hospitals have become a little slice of Hell!
Me too!
Fun fact…your soul cant even travel where it needs to travel when you die in a concrete and metal box..if possible it’s best to try to die in nature or at very least at home w all the windows open, fresh air and no metal roofs either…for those of you interested in the physics behind this I highly recommend looking up DAN WINTER and his work…he’ll blow your mind WIDE OPEN.
Not Duke Hospital. I just got out of 8 days in and I was well-treated.
A massive slice of Hell, and it's always been going on . Narcissists and sycophantic people work in there aswell. They just luv it having a defenceless victim. I've had it done to me even in labour twice, and watched a cancer patient getting picked on just after her operation by a doctor and his whole team. Accusing her of treating his staff wrong! I just wanted to jump to defend her but I was just so unfit after my own operation . 15 years ago and I still think on the poor girl and them horrible bastards 😢
@unbreakable7633 you were very fortunate. Good to hear. ✨️
I worked in the hospital and what you are saying is 💯 accurate. ❤
I thank my doctor all the time. She has taken care of me for 4 decades. She Would not let me stay in the hospital when I had breast cancer surgery and sent me home. She is just like the way you treat your patients.
You are terrific like my doctor.
Wow great advice. Johns Hopkins did disservice and discharged was horrible for my mom is 87. Fixed her hip she did well. They took her to rehab in a hurry. I didn’t get any discharge information. They rush us to pick rehab. Ambulance takes her there on Friday night. We see her Saturday morning and her legs are sideways. Which physical therapist shows up and knew that she shouldn’t be laying that way. He helps sit her up with me. She is in terrible pain. They only gave her Tylenol after surgery! Something was wrong with other leg too. The hip gets dislocated again and now she’s back at Johns Hopkins. They pop hip back in.Now day ten in this hospital. Now other problems are happening. Blood clot on hip side, bed soreness, other leg is swollen and they don’t know why? The leg is not broken they have done X-ray. They want her out of hospital but where can she go without using legs?
Where people need the best nutrition, they are given the worst nutrition.
Yes, and in two different hospitals where I was a patient!
Stay out of the hospital if at all possible; obviously a stroke, heart attack, car accident, fall, head injury, broken bones, and any serious injury requires a hospital. If at all possible, try to heal at home. Sleeping & eating at home is less stressful and safer.
Also, at home you are not exposed to drug resistant pathogens, which are much more likely to be encountered in a hospital setting.
Well having had 4 strokes, I only sought help for 2. And then did my own digging, got to a specialist and found out I have a connection time tissue disorder that caused the strokes. So theER Dr's who were do mad that I didn't fit the clot buster protocol, well I told them I though it was vasospasm... and I was correct. They saw the brain damage, but no stroke clinic nor rehab was offered. So after we had the EDS diagnosis blood thinners stopped the strokes. But that took me figuring out my own diagnosis. Ugh.
Heart pain, 200/175 BP, I took a lot of medication and went home. I definitely am not going to get kidnapped by the hospital system, toke aspirin daily. Edit, taking 81mg aspirin daily.
I have learned the hard way to not trust doctors!
Ditto
@@Stacey-tl7xt Wow! I am so glad to hear you are getting better and that you get to see India. Silver lining...
We took my husband to the ER for severe abdominal pain. After alot of blood work and scans, we were told everything was normal and to see his regular Doctor in a few days. His Dr couldn't make it but sent us to another instead. On our way there we received a call from him telling us not to go to the appt but to the hospital immediately. All the labs taken at the ER a few days prior were "All over the place".
He passed away a couple weeks later from a rare, untreatable cancer.
I was never able to find out who read the initial tests and concluded nothing was wrong.
If it happened for something that my husband went through, I can't begin to imagine what else has gone on that cause families heartbreak
Thank you so much for this! My husband has been in and out of hospital for the past few years. I go every day and speak to staff when he’s in.
I agree about the discharge notes. We have a problem at weekends when there’s no qualified nursing sister in the wards because the NHS can’t afford them. Some nurses are so inadequate at English and in their medical training that their colleagues write their notes up for them! Nurses no longer wash patients. They just use wipes. Honestly, it’s not good. I get my husband home again asap as I have more Florence Nightingale in my little finger than most of the nurses. I believe that having a vigilant relative looking out for you is essential if you are ill in hospital.
As an ultrasound technologist, I’m constantly amazed at how the ordering providers do not know the appropriate imaging studies to order for the appropriate indications. No wonder many tests are negative and they don’t have answers for the patients. It’s because many times they order the wrong imaging tests!
I'm in xray, same for us.. wrong exam ordered much on the time. I do mammography now.. they can't even order a mammogram correctly.. we get screening for one side and diagnostic for other.. not the way it works..
That's appalling!
I do think this is a huge problem. I wonder why there isn’t a consultation between the physicians and the techs about the symptoms before tests are ordered. Sure, sometimes it will be obvious what tests are needed but other times it might be smart to get the input of someone who runs that type of test all the time what they can and cannot find. Having a medical degree doesn’t make the doctor an expert in the technology available.
I went to ED after a fall whilst moving. Had Xrays, my shoulder felt dislocated, I couldn't hold my arm up. But no Xray for that! .. I had to ask a nurse for a sling as I was being discharged. She made one out of gauze andcsafery pins.
However, they did Xray my head and my wrist. The attending doctor showed me my Xrays, and said, "see, nothing broken".
Two days later, my GP called me on my phone, and said I had a broken wrist and to go immediately to hospital to get a temporary cast put on... I was also told the head xray showed I had a brain tumour, and an MRI had been ordered.
What a shock! Fortunately the brain tumour was benign, as it had not crossed the blood-brain-barrier.
Hoping it stays that way. But, still shocked at being given the wrong information initially.... wondering who decided to recheck my Xrays! - Not all medical people are created equal.
Thank you. You are a treasure! During “covid” my dad was in hospital after a heart attack and he was not allowed any visitors. He couldn’t speak to us on the phone because he was very deaf. We took food in every two days and handed it to the nurses. After those two weeks - which seemed like an eternity - I broke the rule and walked in to find him emaciated. He had not eaten at all during this time because he was unable to feed himself. Instead they had put the food on the table beside him and taken it away later. Our home cooked food was all still in the bags beside his bed, along with cards from friends. We then managed to get “permission” for one visit a day from one family member. We got him home after two more weeks, feeding him ourselves every day.
Can't believe you didn't sue
The evil bastards. I hope your Father is well and doing fine.
How sad,covid has us all in panic.Thx for sharing
@@VJ-Lowe We got him home in the end and he had a good five months with us. It meant the world to us to have him back home . He was 92.
SUE THE HOSPITAL!!
THANK YOU DOCTOR!!!
Your words are brave and brutally honest. I've sadly had to witness everything you say being at hospital with my parents.
You make me think there is still hope in mankind.
Wow! As a Registered Nurse, I find this so interesting because hardly any of this was done when my husband was hospitalized. I tried to be there when the Hospitalist, who knew nothing about my husband and his history, just treated what was currently going on and seemed to have no interest in knowing. He and the nurses missed the fact that he gained over 20 pounds in a 24 hour period! I noted that he looked bloated through his mid-section and then, when he was complaining about his heels hurting and I went to place a blanket under his legs, I saw what were not the legs I had been seeing almost daily for over 50 years. At that moment, my sister-in-law, also an RN, came in and marched out and wanted to see his chart with his daily weights. They tried to talk it away as inaccuracies, yada,yada,,yada. I was there when he was weighed and I knew that, yes, it was accurate, and just by looking at him you could see the difference. At this moment in time at 83, I take no prescribed meds. I worry about being hospitalized and having some random hospitalist decide I need this or that and starting me on things I really don't want to be on.
I several years ago I was admitted due to intestinal blockage and had to have emergency surgery. Five days later, I was being opened again and had small bowel resection. I stayed nearly a month after that from all the infections I got there. It nearly Killed me and I was alone with no family watch over me. The night nurses and CNA’s were horrible. One nurse dropped on the floor the tube that was to go through my nose into my stomach and did not change it. I was too sick and medicated to object and that was not the only thing I saw being done to me. The super bugs I caught cause my long stay due to the negligence of these people that were supposed to care for my health. I had to go for counseling due to PTSD. Stay away from hospitals if you can help it.
Whoever did that you should be fired. People who work in hospitals should know better something goes on the floor you get a new tubing you never put that in a person's body.
I have nursed in South Africa for +- 40 years.When I trained the hospitals were spotless.Now as I have got older and needed operations I have been shocked at the service and cleanliness of the private hospitals.I will never go to hospital even if I'm dying😢
Sadly i lost both parents to the medical system, including skilled nursing, assisted living, doctors, nurses, and their insurances. Ive heard some countries only pay the doctor if the patients are kept well! And they use natural remedies with less side effects. We need to repeal the laws that say drugs and surgery are the only medicine that is recognized! Big pharma subsidizes most medical schools, and so it goes. Please vote Democrat and we have a chance. Thank you all for your stories cause its been hard to not feel i failed them, 😭 even though i really tried, i was all alone, and it was on my watch. God is watching, pray for change.
@@R-hm4icthe de.ms won't help you.
@@R-hm4icVoting for Democrats is the worst thing to happen to the medical system.
I would also like to add that if the patient is cognitively 8:32 able to do so, s/he needs to learn how to self-advocate. Otherwise, a relative needs to advocate for the patient. Don’t just assume that because you’re in the hospital, everything will be taken care of. Take an active role in every stage of care.
Absolutely and it applies to all healthcare whether as an inpatient or outpatient. Most often people know their bodies better than their doctors so it's vital to speak up and self advocate. Your doctors don't always know what's best.
Boy, do they get pissy when you stick up for yourself.
Dr thanks for your advice,I am in that problem with a loved one.He is on too much meds and I need to get to the bottom of this before something drastic happens.About to contact the doctor stat!!.God continue to bless you.
This is no help for people that don't have loved ones to advocate for them & instead have greedy bloodsuckers that can't wait till you die to get their hands on what's yours just like they did with your sibling, which sped up his death.
I am 80 if I ever enter a hospital you are the kind of doctor I love to have ! God bless u !
What got me is how they wouldn’t allow you to visit loved one on Covid floor. I’m positive my dad was killed by horrible staff. I’d give anything if I could have that time over. I would never have sent him to hospital
Retired RN here. This is great advice. I would add please be kind to the nurses and staff. Many of them are working under incredibly stressful circumstances and are doing the best they can. It is important to advocate for your family, you know them better than the staff but it is possible to do that while being respectful. Don’t be afraid to ask for a manager or patient service representative if you don’t feel you are being heard. Your voice is important but it is possible to use it without being abusive. If you are with your family, offer to help out within what the staff and you are comfortable with. You shouldn’t be expected to help but doing little things like a fresh washcloth to wash your family’s hands and face before eating can be refreshing and make the meal safer with clean hands. Skin gets very dry. Applying lotion feels great and help protects skin barrier. If your family can’t turn themselves in bed, ask for a turn chart and make sure their position is being changed every couple of hours(by the staff). If they have had surgery, remind them to do their breathing and leg exercises every hour or two while awake(important for outpatient care at home too) first couple of days
That used to be standard post op care or care for a very ill patient.
Most nurses we know, try to Act like they are the doctor and Try to be Very Bossy(but it wont work with me). They try to get you to do Their work, bossy, rude,throw their trash or used needles on the floor or on your bed, dont wash their hands, And so much more...Patients complain byt cant get nothing done about it no matter how many people and higher up they complain to..
Absolutely. I’ve been hospitalized many times and my best hospital stays have been when I’ve had a family around to do this. Staff appreciates it as well.
I'm extremely polite to nurses and any other medical staff, but its a two way street.
I'm very cooperative, but my feelings were very hurt by a nurse who yelled at me to move faster after coming out of an operation, because - in her opinion, I'd only had a small operation. True, it wasn't major surgery, but I'm not young and have severe arthritis, plus I was still feeling heavily sedated. What does a patient do when feeling hurt & disrespected?
That was several years ago, Now , I have to go into hospital for a more serious kidney operation, and I'm very anxious due to my last experience... and obviously not any younger! I'm wondering if I can do without surgery, and which will be the greater risk, going in, or staying out.
@@darlenecarter7859 “most “ nurses aren’t like that. If one is leaving used needles on bedding or the floor intentionally they need to be reported immediately. You have a right to request anyone wash their hands- you shouldn’t have to, but if you feel someone forgot, you have the right to ask. If you are unhappy with your care, you can ask the manager for a different nurse and tell them why. The way you have written this seems like you may have a bit of a chip on your shoulder dealing with nursing staff, but two of the concerns you mention are valid complaints.
My 94 yr old Mom unable to make decisions for herself was in hospital for 5 months waiting to get into long term care. She had pneumonia when she went in, but quickly got better. However, the hospital kept moving her around (at least once a week) and each time seeing new Doctors / nurses etc. Although there was literally nothing wrong with her, they started changing her medications without my knowledge and she started getting sick. I thought it was the food cause they kept giving her milk products - even though the dieticien told them not too. At one point, she started having stroke symptoms and was unable to feed herself!! Her blood pressure was over the top. Why? Cause they removed her blood pressure medication. You have to see medication lists every few days and make sure no one changes anything without your knowledge. I saw my Mom every single day and this still slipped between the cracks. There was never a reason to change any of her meds so I assumed they did not change any of them cause it was clear on her file only her POA can make decisions! Again, everytime they move someone, the entire process changes!!
My mantra has been "if you go into a hospital have a full time advocate." Were they trying to get rid of your Mom? My new mantra is "have a full time advocate and get the hell out of there as fast as you can." Wishing you well.
Had a problem with my husband as well....horrible experience with the doc who never wanted to talk with me
That’s infuriating. I hope she’s okay. Can I ask what city this was in? I know it’s happening everywhere but if we can avoid hospitals that are known to do this, many will. Thanks 🙏
They were trying to bump her off...lots of DNR notices appearing on over 50's
I love your videos Dr Dhan.

Can I start with as low as $1,000?
This sounds so good and would like to be a party to this, is there any way I can speak with her?
Please who is this Mrs Deborah
My elderly mother recently broke her hip. 5.5 weeks of hospital and rehab. I stayed with her and slept in a chair beside her every night, because she needed someone there to advocate for her. There were SOOO many errors, missteps, and issues of concern. I could write a book. The healthcare system is a nightmare these days. If you care about someone, be there and advocate for them when they are in the hospital or any healthcare facility.
Bravo!!! I worked as an RN for over 40 years in acute care. I appreciate that you communicate with patient and family. It frustrates me when a physician says they don’t have time to communicate with family. Everything you say is on point. Thank you for taking the time to educate.
Thank you sir for making the point that caretakers have the right to ask for the doctor to know the condition of their loved ones!
All sound advice. Sometimes this can be used to help the patient. Near the start of the covid insanity I had a bad car wreck which resulted in a ruptured spleen. They did a great job at saving my life as I almost bleed to death. Problem was everything was of course removed from me as I went into the ER. When I awoke in my room I didn't have my glasses or anything else. They wouldn't even let my wife bring them to the hospital and drop them off in the parking lot.
When they started trying to get me out of my bed I refused to without my glasses. It isn't that I just needed to see a bit better. Without them I can just make the E on the top of the chart out so I'm functionally blind without them. The lead doctor finally ignored hospital policy and I got my glasses as well as my phone so I could talk with my wife. In fact if it hadn't been for a nurse breaking the rules my wife and daughter wouldn't have even been able to see me after surgery.
The staff were great and those who thumbed their noses at the hospital administrator made a huge difference in my recover but the medical establishment as a whole was disgraceful. I now question anything and everything I am told by them.
It was illegal for them to cut off your access to your lived ones. It is also illegal for them to forbid visitors.
I know the hospitals did it anyway, but they were breaking the law.
@@cherylallis2458 Pandemics override the law, it's sad, I know. I was there for such issues that came with it.
I'm glad your life was saved, also happy to hear you had great support.
My husband was hospitalized for seven months and was so mistreated I was surprised to see how nurses and Drs were so uncaring. My husband suffered a broken spirit…. Hospital are only looking to get all the insurance money and that’s it. They do not give you information at all and do not allow questions. It’s a nightmare.
Something must be done. I too am a victum of gross diagnosis but the doctor when I called him to report the nurse who gave me the shot that made me ill. I violently threw up when before I was feeling ok. I made a big fuse refused any more help. Just to fine out at home I was given drugs that was so strange with side effects so bad very very bad that's when I realized I was given drugs so unfamilia to me. They had me down as antibiotics was wrong.
I tell everyone who will listen; if you have a child or elderly person in the hospital, either stay over in the room with them as much as possible and/or insist on being involved daily. Double-check correct dossages of all medications given to your loved ones. This video expands on what I usually offer to friends as advice. I took nurses' training but did not graduate. I graduated instead with degrees in psychology. Thank you for this wonderful, life-saving advice. ❤

I've just subscribed...
Why?
Because he is the FIRST doctor that has spoken the TRUTH and I note from other videos...that he always speaks the truth without fear or any concerns of what others may think...priceless!
I EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING HE'S SAYING IN THIS VIDEO...particularly medicines!!
MY domain...and the HASSLE I had to go through to even TRY and sort it out.
All this when my elderly mother who was hospitalised and then the 'nightmare' that unfolded when transferred back to the nursing home where the standard of medical care & staff ( particularly of the clinician(s)) could only be described as ATROCIOUS.
The Health care system here in the UK is BROKEN.
This video is truly exceptional ( life saving without doubt) and I'm talking from real experience and expert knowledge in the harm that medicines can cause when not handled with care and scrutiny.
Execellent Suneel.
The medical systems are broken in the United States of America also!
I'm very sad to hear this about the UK. I was born and raised in England, when NHS and senior care, were exemplary.
I live in Canada, which has healthcare similar to the UK, but its gone downhill, compared to when i moved here. Sad all round.
This is interesting to me. I was hospitalized four times in the space of two years. The staff on the floor pick and chose what meds to give me. The result was my blood pressure was never under control.
Hospitals make you sicker. I'm starting to think it's a racket.
Just lost my younger brother to terminal brain cancer . Saw most of what was talked about . Some great people and some dangerous . Spent most of the day with him , doing lots of research on his meds etc often seing side effects that medical staff hadn't heard of . He was supposed to be discharged on a Monday afternoon , but in a rapid turnaround they discharged him at 2:30 am Sun . When I couldn't get help to get him into his place . I have a heart repair with a 50 lb limit. If he fell I couldnt stop him without blowing out my heart , which they were aware of. He died a few days later.
It is very interesting and disturbing to listen to the doctor's story.
8 years ago, I was admitted to the emergency room at the hospital for the treatment of a back fracture.
I was signed up, but I had to wait 7 hours for the doctor to come.
After all the tests, I was sent home in some kind of car that was shaking so much, I prayed to God to stay alive.
During the 24 hours in hospitals I was I begged for at least a couple of cups of water and was completely dehydrated.
They gave me morphine shot,which I didn't ask for, and twisted my digestive system.
I returned home in a worse state.
My back is fine now,but I've gotten shorter by almost 1 inch.
I advise everyone to have a bath mat, so do not to slip like me.
By the way,it was the Elmhurst Hospital in New York City.
Be careful and stay away from that terrible place.
🙋🏼♀️♥️
May I ask what helped your back?
Please try what an Egyptian doctor told my friend to do for the bone problems: take a teaspoon of powdered gelatin in a cop of hot water every night. (I get cheap stuff, not jell-o brand which is full of non-gelatin.)
Wear rubber soled sandals
In the shower end of slip worries screw the matts
Thank you for addressing hospital (and nursing homes) food is junk!
RN 30+ years. The food in hospitals and, especially, nursing homes, is only as good as the money the corporations who own them are willing to spend. In my experience, the food vending contracts go to the lowest bidders, just like public school contracts.
Years ago, my grandmother took a box of organic apples from her tree to a small local hospital. She told the kitchen to make applesauce for the patients. They refused the apples. Instead, they served jello.
@@LindaH444-b2u good grief!
One of my favorite sayings from elderly people over my lifetime is "hospitals are not a good place for sick people." I've been in hospital several times over my life, also both my parents, and our experiences prove this is true.
My Dad was diagnosed in New Zealand as a diabetic (had malaria too) when he and his Marine platoon were taken off of Guadacanal. He was 23yrs old. After years of VA hospital treatment off and on, my Mother sought out private dr treatment. At that point, when he was hospitalized, family members could stay with him 24/7 in shifts which is what we did. (VA didnt allow that because he was usually in a 2 to 4 bed room). My son's father in law died alone in a VA hospital at night because family was not allowed after visiting hrs. Visitors were allowed with masks. Covid was still around but not rampant.
🥼THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
(God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. This difference is because Christ is flesh and blood; He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether it's human or God, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became human, He realized His spirit within His human body, that His human body was sufficient to carry out His work. Therefore, all the work of the Spirit of God was replaced by the work of Christ during the incarnation, and at the core of all the work during the entire incarnation was the work of Christ. Whether it's the Spirit of God or whether it's Christ, both of them are God Himself, and He's doing the work He's supposed to do and fulfilling the mystery He's supposed to perform.)
Almighty God said
GOD INCARNATE is CALLED CHRIST, and CHRIST is the HUMAN BODY CLOTHED by the SPIRIT of GOD. This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the INCARNATION of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His DIVINITY ACCOMPLISHES the WORK of GOD HIMSELF. WHETHER it's HUMAN or GOD, they BOTH SUBMIT to the WILL of the FATHER in HEAVEN. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, which MEANS the DIVINITY. 🙏
Therefore, His ESSENCE is that of GOD HIMSELF; this spirit will not interfere with His own work, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. Therefore, GOD INCARNATE will ABSOLUTELY NEVER do ANY WORK that INTERFERES with His OWN GOVERNANCE. This is WHAT all PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND. ☀️
The SPIRIT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE man, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. Similarly, CHRIST'S WORK is ALSO to SAVE people, and it is for GOD'S WILL. Since GOD BECAME HUMAN, He REALIZED His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY was SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. ☀️
Therefore, all the WORK of the SPIRIT of GOD was REPLACED by the WORK of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORK during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORK of CHRIST. It cannot be mixed with work from any other era. And since GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS on the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to do. WHETHER it is the SPIRIT of GOD or WHETHER it is CHRIST, BOTH of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He does the WORK He must do and FULFILLS the MYSTERY He must PERFORM. 🙏
From "The Word, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. The Spirit of Christ is the Obedience the Will of ...

This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by satan so as to be perfect,

My husband had a rollover x4 auto accident in 2012. He broke 22 bones, shattered his pelvis, and a closed head injury. After 8 weeks in neuro ICU he was sent to a rehab. He was non ambulatory for approx 3 months. Mind you, I was an RN so I knew the language. He had previous co-morbidity of heart stints, double bypass, diabetes and kidney failure. I requested that he not be given sliding scale insulin because it had proven to drop his blood sugar in conjunction with Lantus. The staff didnt listen and one morning the nurse cam in while I was there took his blood sugar and it was 200+ so they gave him sliding scale and dropped his sugar to 13. Not exaggerating. Had I not been there he would have died. You got to watch out for any relative in a medical setting
As a nurse I agree.... THE FAMILY IS A PATENT TOO!!! Especially with Peds!!!
What a man for humanity. God bless you Dr. Dhand. For the seekers: Call and believe on the name of Jesus and you shall be saved. Shalom.
Hallelujah!
God bless you.
Amen ❤️
We all die.I just didn't know my government and "health" providers would be how.
John chapter one and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4ff. GOD is Salvation.

Finally, a doctor who's concerned about the patient's welfare!!! Thank you for this much needed information on being hospitalized and discharged 👏👏👏
I am a UK resident and in February 2024 I flew to Turkey for a Total Hip Replacement all of the above points covered by Dr Dhand were covered by my surgeon, why Turkey I am not going to wait 3 YEARS for the NHS or pay £15,000 ($19,500) I am now totally pain-free and no after surgery complications, so pay full attention to the points raised by Dr Dhand
Smart
When my late husband was sick with cancer in the hospital, I had to chase the doctor down in the hallway to make him come back and answer our questions. He’d just stick his head in the door so he could charge us for the “visit”… I made him have a real visit.
Your advice is sound. In Florida, the required ratio of CNAs to patients in skilled nursing facilities is 1:20. How on earth can one aid help twenty patients? It's criminal.
Why I stay in MN. Good care
During Covid I was admitted to a well known Cleveland hospital for placement of a Cardiac stent. No physical contact with friends or relatives was allowed. While there I was seen by physicians of various disciplines. I became the cash cow. Let’s just say at one point my BP went to 90/90 because of administration of a drug not on my meds list. ( only metoprolol) At the time. I thought I was going to die and requested a priest!
Looking back it seemed that because of my comprehensive medical insurance everyone wanted some. That include the doctor who looks in the room to say hi and bill for a visit. I was 76 at the time. Billing showed over $300,000.
Big busine$$ and health care should not go together, there's bound to be conflict and greed. Sorry, USA.
I love that he talks about inflammatory processed foods from the hospital. Even my rheumatologist doesn’t get that piece of information. When I talk about my food diet, which is anti-inflammatory, they look at me like I’m crazy. So tired of being gaslit by the people who are supposed to be knowledgeable in treating my disease.
Retired nurse here. This is good! Thanks!
Same here!
Regarding Vitals

When I'm there, I just watch the monitors myself. But previously, I lived over an hour from a hospital, sometimes I had to just call and ask.🤷♀️
You have to ask

Yep, and they don't like it when I point out the rythm showing on the monitor either 😈
My subtle way of telling not to even think about feeding me BS, because,
I'LL KNOW 🤬
@@janiceperkins4340 yea. Been there done that. I had a nurse throw me there standard of care on Tylenol, I asked if my husbands Tylenol was prn or was it scheduled, she starred at me left the room and threw the standard of care at me. “This is what we do” was the answer I got. This was at Mayo Clinic, everyone else was very kind and helpful.
DR YOU'RE A TRUE ADVOCATE FOR HUMANITY AND A BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM GOD. PEACE AND BLESSINGS.
Dr. Dhand, thank you very much for caring. I'm a retired nurse and THE last place I ever want to be is in a hospital. I've seen the changes since I finished nursing school in '82. It is appalling. God bless you!
