I like that you encourage people to "Stay strong." I found myself weary of all the people saying, "Stay safe." Seems cowardly, and was such a buzzword(s) for the global weirdness that started 4 years ago.
My father, also a doctor used to say just this back in the 70s and 80s. Avoid doctors and as for hospitals, you'll come out with more pro lens than when you went in.
Yes, in my case they made a big mistake during a operation. Since then i had to be opetated again and again and a lot of other problems, just handicaped
I was in the hospital a few weeks ago and wish I had never gone. My doctor wouldn't see me and said I needed to go to the hospital. The doctors at the hospital didn't listen to me and wouldn't listen the neurologist either. I ended up leaving AMA. I'm perfectly fine. If it would have killed me, I'd be dead by now.
My dad was hospitalized while he was fighting cancer. He was bleeding a ton from his urine. The bleeding would not stop and he was anemic. One evening the nurse comes in with an injection. I asked her what the injection was for. She said it was a blood thinner. I said “blood thinner?”. He’s been bleeding a ton and we can’t control his bleeding, why would he be getting a blood thinner? She said “it’s protocol and given to all hospitalized patients to prevent blood clots while they are hospitalized”. I said “no. I refuse.” She had to ask the doctor and get clearance to not give it to him. I was shocked. Had I not been paying attention , he would have received it without him or I noticing. Had he died with uncontrollable bleeding, they would have blamed cancer, not their protocols.
God bless you, It’s tragic for everyone let’s face it especially seeing our friends and loved ones dying and ill.....yes we mortals that felt the thing was hurried and furiously passionate to scare the living daylights enough to cause division in all spheres of our daily living remain breathlessly ,sigh of relief that we endured all the panic......unfortunately .....the powers that be have remained very quite....another mystery....Thank you Dr.Dhand for your courage and medical oath that you took...DO NO HARM...... as we nurse and console those in our care,we weep and pray....Lord have mercy on humanity....Amen....
I was told my wife is severely ill. Put her in covid isolation(had it not) and did not inform me for a week. She was filled up with pills. Could not speak not eat not write not move. Doctor expected her to be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Turned out the medication did all of that mess. Today she is at work again
None of my family is going in isolation No way They don’t stay alone even 5 min for me to go to bathrm Patient advocates are badly badly needed!!! Don’t leave ur loved ones alone!!!
@@ageisanumber Yes, afterwords she told me she would have never survived that experience without her faith. True story from our german Hospital nightmare.
I knew back in school that most doctors lacked common sense and problem solving skills. They sure are good memorizers though. They know how to pass those tests. Pretty scary
@@JoaninFlorida i was the opposite! actually wanted to be a doctor from a very young age, studied everything i could about human biology and anatomy during recess and lunch at school from yr 7, IQ of 149, memory of an elephant but i was also the black sheep of the family of 10 with a violently strict "old school" father, i was not permitted to attend senior school (let alone university) and was thrown out into the streets at age 16 - i took myself to community college and became an engineer instead in hindsight, i'm actually glad i dodged that supernova
Nurses can be terrifying. They know bad things are going on but are so accustomed to it that they just ignore it. You see them ignore a patient crying in pain for hours. You really need an aggressive, obnoxious family member to keep an eye on some of them.
@@cybersal7 That's true. I completed Menu sheets daily, with "Diabetic" circled. I was brought unordered pots of jam, regular fruit juices. I needed insulin one day even 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 the obvious no-nos.
actually not educated much further than a point of insane narcissistic arrogance : "a LITTLE bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing " & " the road to hell is paved with good intentions" seem to apply to that moron
The problem with that is that the medial "profession" treat young people who haven't even reached the age of 16 yrs old. God only knows how many lives they destroy
Are doctors up with latest findings or not wanting to ruffle feathers then pass on antiquated recommendations to patients. Our choice but correct advice?
Many years ago while I was visiting my father in the hospital, nurses kept saying his last name wrong. I first thought maybe they were reading it incorrectly, but decided to stay. It happened again and I corrected the nurse and told my mom if it happened again, I would go to the charge nurse. Sure enough it happened a third time and they were trying to give my father the wrong medication. It turns out that there's a drawer for every patient room behind that desk with medications. They were trying to give my dad medicine belonging to another patient! I immediately went out ti to the desk and reported it and said I would go straight to the administrators if it wasn't corrected immediately. Never leave a loved one alone in a hospital...ever!
Very True I believe you as bad things happened to my hospitalised demented mum. Nurses torn apart the protective cover i sewn on her mitten to prevent her scratching herslef, and throwing away her foot support, unwilling to point out who is the one who throw it, and lying to me she don't know where it is and later telling me it was torn open and she saw somebody throwing it into the bin. My mum is too weak to tear apart anything, obviously some nurses are doing some destructive work! And if they were to throw any of our things away particularly mum feet support, they should have showed it to me first instead of me hunting for it and asking if they have seen it! There is more stories but I leave it here. Do not leave your loved ones in hospital alone. This happened in Singapore.
@@kayaba8702 They did short cut. The last name they used was similar to my father's. It was only on the 3rd attempt, when dad realized a pill they were trying to make him take, he didn't recognize. When he asked the nurse what it was and she responded, he said, I don't take that. That's when she realized she had the wrong name. That's why I went ballistic. I had every right. Thankfully I had previously worked in a hospital and knew this information. I also knew if a case where this exact thing happened, a patient died and the hospital covered it up and told the nurse not to talk about it. Yes, mistakes happen when the processes are not followed and unfortunately patients die.
I had a doctor that wanted to put me on a “little water pill”… which I discovered when I went to the pharmacist was actually a blood pressure medication… for something unrelated to blood pressure. My bp has generally been on the low side, sometimes as low as 90/60. It has gone up in my later age, but still generally pretty low. Needless to say, I refused to take the meds. There was no mention by the doctor of what this drug actually was or what adverse reactions I might have. Too often I have been offered treatments with no discussions about what they are, what they are supposed to do, or what problems I might have to watch out for. It has been imperative that I do my own research before I take anything, because the doctors won’t do it.
Thank you for your years of dedicated hard work. A great nurse is worth her/his weight in gold. A nurse can be the patient's best ally and advocate. People need to understand this and cultivate a pleasant respectful relationship with all nurses when hospitalized. Spent 8 days in excellent hospital 10 years ago. My nurses loved me and I treasured them. Got me through a challenging time
@@rugrat1235 Doctors directly and indirectly make money, receive gifts, vacations in the form of educational conferences sponsored by Big Pharma etc. That's why Pharmaceutical Reps make regular visits the Doctors Offices.
@@rugrat1235Big Pharma pays their reps to entice Doctors to prescribed their drugs. They use cash incentives, lavish vacations under the guise of continual education and conferences.
I had a home patient in her 90s. One day i held her meds and monitered her BP all day. I leatned that it fluctuated at the same as when she got meds. It went up early morning, so she could get out if bed. It dropoed after bearfast and she'd nap at the table... Our body has a rhythm.
Growing only plants deplete the soil of all its nutrition. Grazing cattle rebuilds the topsoil and you don't have to pay for the bags of manure at the garden center. Keep your water clean get rid of your garbage responsibly and the earth can take care of itself. Don't give toxic manufacturers an inch.
My latest doctor's office labeled me as medication resistant bc I refused a statin. I have 1 risk factor (former smoker) & am pretty damn healthy at 65 y.o. - no chronic illnesses at all. And I was on medications, mostly due to skin related ro skin related allergy complications. They kicked me outta their practice that I'd been at for almost 5 years. Seeing a new pimary care dr next month & you can bet I'm gonna have this conversation right iff the bat. I need help managing my healthcare, not a medical dictator that assumes I'm dumb. Stay Free Y'all ✌️💕🙏🇺🇸
It's no different when visiting a GP........I even had to request my BP meds be reduced due to light headiness when standing up from a chair. Despite the recorded stats, the medication was too strong. How many older people don't know their medication could be leading them to fall?
@@davidk7262 ... Just exactly what do you mean by the previous comment "was it when you started listening to clickbait nonsense on You Tube from people trying to generate revenue?" Could you please be a little more specific, mate? 😉
@@TheMid-KnightRider No problem, quack RUclips medics like John Campbell, Joseph Mercola, Daniel Stock etc spread a huge ammount of disinfomation about vaccines, covid etc. This chap certainly does not induldge in as much of that this sort of thing however he has appeared on John Campbells channel and did not really challenge him at all on disinformation and I would say he serves to legitamise his nonsense. John Campbell in particular is the worst sort of example as his channel started out as properly evidence based and you can literally debunk a great deal of what he now says by his own words from his channel 2 or so years prior. He simply turned to an anti vax stance when his viewing figures went down at the end of the pandemic He cherry picks poor quality and debunked studies to present, presents blog posts as publish studies, feigns outrage at what he knows to be standard practice in drug trials that he has previously agreed is the norm, misrepresents statistics and invites discredited and struck off medics to his channel and presents them as world renowned experts. Worst of all he simply ignores studies and meta analysis that do not align with what he knows gets the clicks on youtube. He and others like him do a great deal of damage to peoples health and generate mistrust of the medical community, and then worse still when the effects of what they do starts to filter through to public health like growth in measels outbreaks because of lower vaccination rates they then hold that up as proof that we are being lied to about vaccine effecacy. Anyone that can say they have 'lost trust in ALL doctors' has quite simply lost touch with reality.
It's the same with vets. I asked one what he thought of a certain supplement for one of our dogs suffering from IBD. He looked at me blankly and said he had only been trained in "western medicine". This as we walked out with the umpteenth course of antibiotics, cortisone, and another medication I can't remember. He's now hitting 13, way longer than his original age estimate. I went onto Facebook forums, did Google research (mainly human), tracked down an optimum diet, used medication we we warned not to (baby Buscopan and a homemade baby colic remedy). His life has changed from misery to 99% happiness. Doctors need to not be so prejudiced against something they don't know anything about and a bit more open to alternatives.
As a 52 yo high school drop out I was able to correctly navigate this shady Fauchi Ouchie , I must admit watching these more educated individuals follow along like a wood duck toy on a string 🪀is quite disturbing 😢.
Isn’t it amazing? People are really brainwashed to listen to the experts and obey. An expert on brainwashing, Dr. Matthias Desmet, estimates 70% of the people are like that.
I had surgery when I was 19yrs old it ruined my life. As I listened to what the surgeon had done to me and how he thought, it stunned me how stupid he was
My mother had 2 x AZ jabs back when it was recommended and from that moment her BP fluctuated enormously. Then they put her on Telmisartan AND Amlidopine and her BP dropped to 100/69 and even though she kept telling them that she was so tired all the time, they did nothing about it. When I found out that her BP was so low, I told her to stop taking the Telmisartan (based on one of your previous videos) and since then her BP has stabilised to around 140/80. And I think that's good for a 90 year old 👍.
Well said Dr. Dhand. I observed this very thing with my sister in hospital. She was prescribed so much BP medication her BP dropped dangerously low 80/40. When she was discharged from hospital I suggested she ring her GP with the readings. The GP then took her off all her medication and her BP returned to normal
I was told my b/p equipment wasn't accurate. My boyfriends b/p after every fall was extremely low. Equipment tested fine & Dr got mad when I reminded her that seditary patient's b/p probably reads normal when they walk 1100 feet into exam room & get b/p checked right away.
Husband was over drugged, over neglected, in 3 different hospitals, and step down hospitals. Sadly, on one Friday night, he had cardiac arrest(at Kindred Hospital in Las Vegas), for lack of oxygen because the staff was too busy laughing out loud, talking about trips, boyfriends, artificial lashes and nails. He never woke up from that and I tried to sue them but they said that I had no case. What a disgrace!
I cannot imagine. as a layman anyone in the medical profession having any truck with your concerns I have come across their "attitudes" before I hope physicians etc are also discussing this between themselves?
We are always pictures as 'lawsuit happy' but in fact doctors get away with some of the most egregious treatment. Lawyers won't take our cases unless we give them thousands of dollars first. We just can't win.
Yes absolutely..even the flu jabs are tainted and caused me severe dizziness and I felt as though I was drunk to the point that I could not drive home after the shot...that was 2020. I never had any injections since and won't ever again.
Last year, a friend of mine aged 77 (who walks his dog two or three times every day) began to get bouts of falling over for no apparent reason. He's been on high blood pressure tablets for many years, so I asked him to see the doctor about taking him off them, or at least lowering the dose. He doesn't take them anymore at all, and he's fine now.
Yes, Dr. Dhand I have witnessed this myself as a nurse in the hospital! Also, as an older nurse we had to rely on hands on skills which served us well. I have seen so many times clinicians relying on what the monitor says and never touching the patient! Monitors are great but skilled clinicians shouldn't completely rely on them.
I remember a Nurse told me the alarm went off in the patients room. Her cardiac leads were off but they began CPR on her . Wait!!! She's breathing and has a pulse. OMG. Stop
I fired my doctor, canceled ALL of my prescriptions, and three months later, I feel much better! If I end up in the hospital against my will, my first words will be, "Discharge me!" I will be the most uncooperative patient they have ever seen!
A hospital already killed off 3 members of my closest family. The last one being my mother, and over what? Lack of caring for a treatable bed sore that ended up infecting her blood. They were too busy pushing their covid agendas that they refused to allow me or my father in to watch what was going on with my mother. She died 3 years ago, but the wound is still fresh as if we lost her yesterday. I will never trust hospitals ever again. I had emergency surgery a year ago but haven't been back for follow up appointments or visited my doctor since, and I will continue to avoid them. They to me are nothing more than slaughterhouses, and the only reason I had the surgery was to stick around to care for my elderly father, otherwise I would have taken my chances.
I’m an RN and I no longer go to the Dr. I wish I lived near you so you could be my Dr. I loved how you emphasized bring a minimalist who allows the body to heal itself; & how you emphasized common sense.
Thank You Dr Dahnd! My husband was over medicated like this at the hospital, and when he got out our primary care tried to tell him 97/70 was great! Too tired to get out of bed and almost fainting when getting up? Great! He is 50yrs old and works, and you know, would like to participate in life. NOT GREAT. Also, because the anticoagulant was too strong and making him artificially anemic, he wanted to add iron, but REFUSED to lower the max dose anticoagulant. Institutions and industry have changed the very words they use to scare people into doing what you are told and actively discourage questions, may even answer with vague or threatening answers. Please be vigilant, advocate for yourself and your loved ones, know the red flags for bad treatment and doctor response, research what you can, and shop for a new doctor if you must. Thank God for Dr Dhand!
Check into the watchman procedure if he has an irregular heart beat. My Mom had Afib and that was the only reason she took blood thinners. She had it done Dec 15 as an outpatient procedure. 6 weeks later she was approved to stop all blood thinners. So happy 😀
Until I retired I was a ward manager on a frailty ward. Patients came to us via medical assessment whereby they were given new medications and our frailty consultants spent their time taking them off. Poly pharmacy is a huge cause of falls in the elderly which leads to fractures and immobility and in some cases shortens their life span. The problem I see is that most studies are backed by big pharma so they have a financial motive to get more people on medications they probably only need in the short term which they continue taking for years.
I've been an RN for over 30 years. I'm appalled at the number of staff who don't know (or don't care) how to take a proper blood pressure (proper technique, correct equipment, manually checking results that are outside the accepted parameters of the electronic equipment, etc.). No treatment should start without the correct information.
In 2008 I had a VP shunt put in. When I was wheeled into ICU my blood pressure was elevated. I don’t know how much. A nurse came in and saw my blood pressure and said she wanted to talk to a doctor to prescribe me medication for it. I said no I don’t normally have high blood pressure. I’m probably stressed from just having surgery. Thankfully as far as I know I was not given BP medication. It seemed like a snap decision without checking my medical history/records.
@@ianstuart5660 I can’t afford to loose anymore weight on a keto diet and I have a complex large colon and don’t like much meat. But great advice thank you.
For the past few years I've gotten into the habit of looking online about the meds I've been prescribed. I discovered that the symptoms I complained about were caused by some of these meds . I just stopped taking them all. I'm much better now except for the crucial ones for my asthma and even then use them sparingly. I just avoid sugar and carbs for a keto/carnivore diet. Much cheaper and healthier.
@@chrisnalina1755 I moved to a drier climate, from the West Coast of Canada (BC) to Alberta. I got better by walking then biking, first with an ebike then totally manual. I really don't take supplements except in winter. Hope this helps.
I had to rewind. I couldn't believe you were saying they would give the bp drugs if the SYSTOLIC was over 100 or 110. Then I realized that yes, you were really saying that this is Standard of care in the hospitals. Crazy. Thanks for warning us. You really need a knowledgable advocate if you ever go into the hospital.
I have had two operations. After the first one i nearly died. I could not eat qnd horrendous symptoms. It was an Arab doctor who found the cause- very rare bug. Thank God for that doctor. Second operatio resulted in very low blood pressure, high tempreture and an infection. I was fed so much medication. Afyer a week I was deteriorating so discharged myself. A relative helped me escaoe. After two weeks at home I improved. The hospital doctors were shocked when I returned for tests.😢
I've had many surgeries, & been sick for many years, so my experience in hospitals is massive. Anytime I'm in the hospital I watch my BP & vitals myself as much as possible. I ask what every med is, & often refuse some. I've caught them giving some meds I never took. If I hadn't asked.... Medical records can be wrong- I've corrected mine many times. They always insist it's right now, all fixed. Next trip- meds are wrong again. They don't care, there's no excellence in anything anymore. We aren't required to automatically accept anything they say! Right below this post there's an ad for a nasal midazolam spray! All we see constantly are drug ads, and I think it's part of the greed & depopulation effort not just by globalists but by the medical profession as well. Dr's aren't so stupid they can't see all that's going on.
Actually, I'm in danger of costing too much too. Despite the fact that I decline some meds, I've had a lot of tests recently, and cataracts in both eyes. Trying to avoid more joint replacements.
I am so glad to hear you speak on this topic ! As an R.N. I know from experience that what you are saying is very true. Another thing that happens is that a patient comes in with problems that are likely caused directly or indirectly from too much blood pressure medication. (Needs can change ! ) During hospitalization the nurses end up holding most of the blood pressure medications and the patient improves. Then the hospitalist on call comes to discharge the patient and writes "Continue home meds" Then off goes the patient on too much medication again. It is so important for anyone on blood pressure medication to take their own blood pressure twice a day and before and after medication, and keep a record of it. This would save so many lives.
Mother left hospital with new blood pressure medication and was told to take her old medication too.Her blood pressure plummeted. Discharge instructions almost killed her.
All my friends get told they need statins. We are all in our 70's. I went to the doctors as I wanted my thyroid checked. He didn't know me and remarked that I wasn't on any medcation. I laughed and said well thats good, isn't it! He said lets get a blood test done and then take it ftom there. Two weeks later I rang for my results. The receptionist said my results were within the normal parameters. I then asked specifically what was tested ie kidney function, thyroid etc. Is it just me?I want to be in control of my health.I want to know what was tested and what the results are. Gojng to have to get access to my health record's. Dont let doctors take you down the medication route just becsuse of your age!
This is one of my greatest concerns as I'm getting older, pressure from doctors to take medication. Drugs might help keep us alive, but they don't make us healthy. I don't just want to be alive. I want to be healthy and thrive. I don't want to end up in a nursing home drooling in a wheelchair. And I'm sick of investors using people's health to get rich.
My elderly mother was prescribed medication for high blood pressure that made her quite ill so she didn't want to take it. I gave her nettle tincture and tea, added small amounts of turmeric, cinnamon and ginger with a pinch of cayenne in the tea, adding honey. Within 2 weeks she was within normal range and didn't feel ill any more. Her energy levels improved too. I was nervous about suggesting the regime but since she wouldn;t take the conventional medicine, it was worth trying the old ways.
@@Minipoppy-r5kThank you for responding with those points and for asking - its very kind of you. She is doing really well considering how poorly she had become. I make sure she takes black pepper to allow the turmeric to be better absorbed but not in the tea. Cayenne pepper is better than aspirin, I think, for thinning the blood and keeping you healthy. The nettles are adaptogenic, rather like plantain and self heal, and are really good for boosting energy and cleansing the vascular system. Its all ''old wives'', from my childhood, and feels odd to now be making ''the potions'' I learned as a child when my mother, then young, was being shown how by the old women of the village [a Scottish Highland village]. I think that now modern science has verified much of what we knew without the terminology to describe it all. Mum is nearly 90 now.
I just started taking turmeric supplements that also have ginger about 5 months ago. I also drink green tea with honey every day. I’ve had so many benefits from it
@@punkroxgirl It makes a difference, doesn't it? I like to add in various herbs to my own tea mix, even the nettle one - ribwort [plantain] nasturtium, lavender and lemon balm, a pinch of rosemary and so on. I use one of those tea ball contraptions and one fill does 4 mugs easily though I add more spices if necessary. A good pinch of cayenne is very good for keeping the weather of the Scottish Highlands out! I often throw a green tea bag in as well actually - I haven't yet mastered the dark art of growing that plant! Its a good suggestion as it is very beneficial indeed.
I'm sorry to hear this as well. I'm a Nurse for over 33 years and the new grads are in a hurry and don't think. It's all Corporate run and in a rush. They don't want to hire experienced Nurses now. So sad.
@@Hartmannk It is sad all around. These newer medical staff will see the truth many years from now. I never thought I’d truly understand dark ages. The damages will be experienced for decades.
This issue is exactly what contributed to my spouse dying in hospital! He had many complications related to heart disease and his BP was already low yet they continued to give him more bp medication! 😢
I was in the hospital for a heart issue my BP was slightly elevated 130/80. They went wild lowering my blood pressure…I warned them that I was a low blood pressure person as a rule. Didn’t listen they eventually lowered it so low I had a “ low blood pressure stroke”. Thank god my wife noted my garbled speech. She couldn’t understand me…panic button again this time to raise my BP…the end result was ok thanks to my wife taking action by the way this happened at Mass General “ the best in the world they say” phony bastards”
My husband started Multiple Myeloma treatments 9/2023. ( he takes lisinopril for mild hypertension) A couple weeks after starting chemo, he fainted getting out of the shower. He could not respond to me and lay on the floor as pale as death. I thought he was having a heart attack. A quick call to dr office. Apparently his blood pressure dropped and he no longer needed lisinopril. I wish I had been warned of a possible drop in blood pressure. This experience was very stressful.
True story happened to me. After visiting a new Dr (to me) a few times they declared I had high blood pressure and gave me a prescription. While at the pharmacy I didn't feel convinced so I bought the best BP machine they had and then like a demon I was taking my BP at least 10 times a day for a month. I'd take it at work, home, at night etc......Went back to the Dr with all the results and she said it was good that I didn't take the pills because my BP was fine and I actually had "white coat syndrome".........I really dislike medical offices of any kind.
My goodness this is exactly what happened to me only I took the tablets even when I had my blood pressure tested after being on them for a length of time my blood pressure went through the roof. I now know I have white coat syndrome. So they do my blood pressure over the phone even so it still goes up slightly. They phoned me (Dr) and asked how I felt about cholesterol tablet. I asked why is my cholesterol high...they said no but maybe in the future you could have a stroke... well you can imagine I was furious so I'm now weaning myself of these horrendous tablets bc I know my blood pressure is perfectly normal at home.
WHITE COAT SYNDROME is actually a phenomenon. I have that, too! When I’m anxious. I have a BP monitor bought it three years ago and I would check my pressure like 50 times a day. It was mad! Last time I measured my BP was last Feb. 2023 and it was 130/80(ish) that was after my Covid infection. Good enough for me. I never measure my BP anymore since last year. It can consume one’s life. I just walk everyday, purée vegetables, drink water, sleep as much , walk barefoot outside.
@@GraceDollesin I'm glad you said that bc that's what I did ...I dont check mine thst often now. I take good supplements d3 and k2 magnesium keeps blood pressure right.
my father, a physician, died in hosp from the hosp multiple mistakes. so horrific to watch my highly intelligent father being treated with such disrespect n the poorest care. its been years n i still have massive anxiety just thinking of hospitals!
Another factor of this issue is the fact that these new BP machines, and the way they are used, are wildly inaccurate. Staff are no longer allowed to take blood pressures correctly!
I just got a text recently from my doctors surgery asking me to book in for my yearly blood pressure test. I never had one last year or the year before. I deleted it and said not a chance!
I have a dysregulated sympathetic/ parasympathetic system due to a congenital condition. When i tell doctors, and sometimes nurses i need to avoid certain meds because they affect me dramatically they either get irritated & insist i take it anyway or just give me a blank stare. None ever make a note of it in the records. After a surgery a doctor insisted i take Amiodarone. I protested but the doctor was adamant & angry, saying i needed to quit running my own show. I took one pill and it affected me so badly the nurses told me later they were very afraid they were going to lose me. I absolutely refused to take more. The doctor would not discuss it more and acted as if it never happened.. I have many stories of these things happening to my mother also. Isn't the healthcare system here to assist the patient in functioning and healing? Why do they treat us as if we exist to blindly obey even if it kills us? That doesn't even make sense. It's costly and causes misery also.
@@juliawigger9796 YES!! it really is because in my experience they'll torture you for as long as they can keep you alive ! We don't even have a right to a compassionate, dignified death at a time and of a manner of our choosing. Freedom in the US is a myth.
Dr Dhand, you are gifted. Being able to think critically would have to be the most important skill a doctor must have, but sadly most don’t seem to possess that skill. Thank you for your wisdom.
Marvellous contribution. Thank you. Unfortunately even though I come from a family of physicians, with different specialities, I didn’t want to become one. I sometime regret it now in case I could have made a change. I was probably right though because it is only now that people are starting to ask questions. I also wish that one day complementary medicines like reflexology, homeopathy and the art of acupuncture will be used commonly one they can help. Especially homeopathy for babies and children - this is only an example in my view.
Dietary and nutrition changes may be even more powerful than those that you mentioned. It certainly has been for myself and so many others. And I'm not at all talking about government food guidelines. Those are as corrupt as mud!
It took me way to long to realize that my cholesterol and BP meds were simply a patch and the real problem was my diet. I was overweight and heading towards pre-diabetes. I finally realized that it was because of my (American) diet of ultra processed foods. Went Keto 2 years ago. Lost 50lbs and chose to stop all Dr prescribed meds (Lipitor and Licinopril). My Dr. tried really hard to keep me on them suggesting just lowered doses. I haven't felt this good since before I was 50. I'm now 70 and have good A1C, BP and cholesterol. Eat right. Live well. Remove sugar and ultra processed foods from your diet and reap the rewards.
I so agree with what you've said. They seem to follow rules without thinking of the individual and situation. Doctors, specialists seem to have lost their thinking process!!!! Give them a pill and their back is covered!!!! 😢
Thank you. When my mum was last in hospital, being given her normal BP meds. Her blood pressure was so low she couldn't stand up without feeling faint. I asked to see her doctor saying imo they need to check her meds as her BP was so low. The doctor was contemptuous and accused me of being an internet expert. I had never said I checked it online, but to be fair anybody could see she was worse in hospital than at home. My mum was so worried about me questioning the doctor that she gave in and told me not to pursue it as they must know what they were doing. She sadly died in hospital, after a dizzy spell that made her fall and she lost consciousness as she banged her head really badly. I hope others benefit from your advice and challenge where they think appropriate
Admitted to hospital last year in the UK...first thing, after all the preliminaries were accomplished, was to attempt to put me on blood thinning meds.... I have a pacemaker for a low heartbeat, with low bp at the best of time. Refused the meds, had a real fight with the docs and still refused. 6 days later I walked out, against their wishes. I’d lost over 6kg, due to refusing to eat their ultra processed food, couldn’t believe that even in hospital they still don’t understand the importance of proper wholesome food. It’s almost like the process is engineered that way on purpose, so eventually we’re back under their control again, like it’s a financial business? Educate yourself...then do more research and keep doing it, because You are in control of you, no one else....
Agree. My bf has short term memory issues. His meds were kept the same dose, even after a 75 pound weight loss. Once confronted by me, they finally reviewed his meds. We need an advocate sometimes.
I'm actually convinced that most doctor ARE trying to harm patients. They are too intelligent and highly educated to act so eagerly to harm patients unless it was deliberate.
True this. Halved my husband's losartan as he was dizzy otherwise. Doc keeps trying to get the dose back to 25mg but I'd rather his pressure be a bit high and him have normal mentation, then lower and passing out. These docs aren't using their noggin.
Amazingly honest and refreshing post, thank you Dr Suneel. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus etc etc and have long ago realized that I have to take my health concerns into my own hands and trust my gut and on several occasions I have found how my medications and health are being mistreated by my physicians and specialists. Be vigilant guys, do your own research and get 2nd or 3rd opinions if you have to, it may just save your life or that if someone you love
As a doctor for over 40 years in uk, this is all true, however having spent the last decade looking after the physical health of patients in secure psychiatric units the pharmacological abuse of these patients will go down in history as the dark ages of mental health medicine. In a nutshell “ if our drugs turn you into a drooling zombie they’re working, if not, you need a bigger dose”!
Reminds me of the time (10 years ago when I was 67 and still teaching full time) my blood pressure shot up. My doctor put me on 5mg tablets with instructions to come and seen him in 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks a local nurse working once a week in a chemists shop worked with me to bring my BP down. She succeeded. When I returned to see my doctor he checked my BP and said "Well your BP is down so we'd better double your dose". The new prescription was for 10 mg tablets. Theee days later I returned to his surgery and asked if I could continue taking the 5mg tablets. I've never forgotten his reply or careless attitude as with a shrug of the shoulders he turned to his computer saying "do what you like". I now believe these doctors know they are answerable to no-one. If school teacher's behaved similarly during an Ofsted inspection they would FAIL. Incidentally 3 months later I stopped taking BP medication using diet. I'm 77, retired from teaching in 2021 and despite my doctor telling me diet would "probably not" help either, have never returned to any form of medication. They seem to have no knowledge of the healing power (or otherwise) of food.
I had a health crisis about a year ago now. Hospitalized for anxiety and exhaustion. Drs made me take meds. I was NOT EVER informed of my rights as a patient. EVER about anything . Drugs made me hallucinate. They said I can't leave without taking drugs. I said no drugs because of side effects. I just want to go home. Not allowed to go home without taking drugs. Then staff threatened physical intimidation and harm if I didn't take drugs. Different drugs. Different side effects. I kept trying to decline. Then they threatened me with electro shock and their diagnoses just kept getting more and more bizarre because those drugs made me so much worse. A year later and I'm irreparably injured -physically, neurologically and cognitively. I feel some deteriorating everyday...bit by bit. I stopped taking drugs soon after I got home but was so traumatized that I was hallucinating for long time after. They did it on purpose and have done similar to others as well. Watch out. No lawyer will touch this for injury case. Use this as another warning.
Thanks, Doctor, for your common sense approach to Healthcare, and yes, I agree. Today's Healthcare system seems to be full of "technicians" acting as automatons, rather than being the critical thinkers that we were trained to be long ago. Another example of overly tight control of bio parameters is blood glucose: there was an aggressive approach to achieving tight control, which only led to higher mortality rates. I'm still a working flight nurse, and my solemn oath to "do no harm" and "evidence based practice ' still applies. Best to you.
There was a medical observation report from a military hospital in England during WWII where they observed that the wounded soldiers who had higher blood pressures (130s 140s) recovered better and faster. Ooooo .....maybe the Body and Mind knows what it’s doing by delivering more oxygen and materials to heal.
A ‘doctor’ just gave my dad a mid brain stroke by not paying attention to his past history… it’s the ONLY Dr he SEES.. how do you NOT know his history 😡
Omg so sorry for your loss. Everybody who have lost loved ones should do some investigation into this and maybe make people accountable for neglect@@deborahwyndham-lewis5188
I find the thing they put on your arm very painful. How do you get an accurate reading when you're hurting someone? They tighten it and tighten it, like being in a vice. I asked the nurse once, if I put a nail in her foot, wouldn't that raise the blood pressure?
@@danielleschmidt7825So true, I was having my blood pressure taken once many years ago and for some reason the doctor ( not my regular Dr ) doing the procedure made me really nervous. I can’t recall what it was about him that frightened me but my normal blood pressure reading was too high & he said he couldn’t understand why. I knew exactly why. lol
You have brought a very important point not just for BP for all medical conditions. Do not overload with medicines, let the body heal naturally while assisting with minimal medicine and other care. I admire your passion for medical profession.

I believe that they are taught, over years, to NOT have any critical thinking skills (as in "just follow the science"!!).
Every year between 90,000 and 100,000 Americans die from infections picked up in hospitals..
I was in the hospital a few weeks ago and wish I had never gone. My doctor wouldn't see me and said I needed to go to the hospital. The doctors at the hospital didn't listen to me and wouldn't listen the neurologist either. I ended up leaving AMA. I'm perfectly fine. If it would have killed me, I'd be dead by now.
My dad was hospitalized while he was fighting cancer. He was bleeding a ton from his urine. The bleeding would not stop and he was anemic. One evening the nurse comes in with an injection. I asked her what the injection was for. She said it was a blood thinner. I said “blood thinner?”. He’s been bleeding a ton and we can’t control his bleeding, why would he be getting a blood thinner? She said “it’s protocol and given to all hospitalized patients to prevent blood clots while they are hospitalized”. I said “no. I refuse.” She had to ask the doctor and get clearance to not give it to him. I was shocked. Had I not been paying attention , he would have received it without him or I noticing. Had he died with uncontrollable bleeding, they would have blamed cancer, not their protocols.
Disgusting
They used to call me a conspiracy theorist. My pronouns are Told/You/So. Pure blood for life!

nightmare.
I knew back in school that most doctors lacked common sense and problem solving skills. They sure are good memorizers though. They know how to pass those tests. Pretty scary

And usually they had a very very pushy parent who was obsessed with their grades and homework.

i was the opposite! actually wanted to be a doctor from a very young age, studied everything i could about human biology and anatomy during recess and lunch at school from yr 7, IQ of 149, memory of an elephant
but i was also the black sheep of the family of 10 with a violently strict "old school" father, i was not permitted to attend senior school (let alone university) and was thrown out into the streets at age 16 - i took myself to community college and became an engineer instead
in hindsight, i'm actually glad i dodged that supernova
True, most doctors can't even tie their own shoelaces.
I am a nurse. People pleeease quit reaching for a pill to fix EVERYTHING 😤😤😤
I’m a nurse too and in my experience lots of people want ‘a pill for every ill’ 😩
The culture has been medicalized. Huge medical acropolises going up everywhere. Sickness is a lucrative industry.
We were programmed to do so, and the pharma ads continue the programming.
Recommending healthy foods is about like recommending street drugs. Very anti medical money for old doctors.
Nurses please start refusing to give vaccines.
They still never address the causes of problems but go straight to the symptoms.
No, they don't have time to actually address the causes just give drugs as they are paid to do by big Pharma 💉💊
Because they want to keep your symptoms going! Because as long as you have symptoms and they can suppress them they make money,,trust me I’m a nurse
The hospital is not a place to get better. Scary you need a family member to police these aggressive doctors.
yes , they are less likely to perpetrate their crimes with witnesses around
Nurses can be terrifying. They know bad things are going on but are so accustomed to it that they just ignore it. You see them ignore a patient crying in pain for hours. You really need an aggressive, obnoxious family member to keep an eye on some of them.

Just don't tell your doctor your health is your responsibility, they won't like it much and it could cause you many problems in the end.
Are doctors up with latest findings or not wanting to ruffle feathers then pass on antiquated recommendations to patients. Our choice but correct advice?
But what about big pharma they will go broke if their puppets stop playing ball 🤔
Many years ago while I was visiting my father in the hospital, nurses kept saying his last name wrong. I first thought maybe they were reading it incorrectly, but decided to stay. It happened again and I corrected the nurse and told my mom if it happened again, I would go to the charge nurse. Sure enough it happened a third time and they were trying to give my father the wrong medication. It turns out that there's a drawer for every patient room behind that desk with medications. They were trying to give my dad medicine belonging to another patient! I immediately went out ti to the desk and reported it and said I would go straight to the administrators if it wasn't corrected immediately. Never leave a loved one alone in a hospital...ever!
Every inpatient have an ID band. Every nurse must compare the ID band with the medication chart before administration of any drug, no short cuts.
Very True I believe you as bad things happened to my hospitalised demented mum. Nurses torn apart the protective cover i sewn on her mitten to prevent her scratching herslef, and throwing away her foot support, unwilling to point out who is the one who throw it, and lying to me she don't know where it is and later telling me it was torn open and she saw somebody throwing it into the bin. My mum is too weak to tear apart anything, obviously some nurses are doing some destructive work! And if they were to throw any of our things away particularly mum feet support, they should have showed it to me first instead of me hunting for it and asking if they have seen it!
There is more stories but I leave it here. Do not leave your loved ones in hospital alone. This happened in Singapore.
@@kayaba8702 They did short cut. The last name they used was similar to my father's. It was only on the 3rd attempt, when dad realized a pill they were trying to make him take, he didn't recognize. When he asked the nurse what it was and she responded, he said, I don't take that. That's when she realized she had the wrong name. That's why I went ballistic. I had every right. Thankfully I had previously worked in a hospital and knew this information. I also knew if a case where this exact thing happened, a patient died and the hospital covered it up and told the nurse not to talk about it. Yes, mistakes happen when the processes are not followed and unfortunately patients die.
Good Advice !
Discard
I had a doctor that wanted to put me on a “little water pill”… which I discovered when I went to the pharmacist was actually a blood pressure medication… for something unrelated to blood pressure. My bp has generally been on the low side, sometimes as low as 90/60. It has gone up in my later age, but still generally pretty low. Needless to say, I refused to take the meds. There was no mention by the doctor of what this drug actually was or what adverse reactions I might have. Too often I have been offered treatments with no discussions about what they are, what they are supposed to do, or what problems I might have to watch out for. It has been imperative that I do my own research before I take anything, because the doctors won’t do it.
Exactly. But they sure as 'ell don't appreciate you doing it!
Search natural ways to lower your BP.
@FLgardener67 if you read the post it says the posters BP is generally on the low side. So they defiant need to lower it any more.
It's been exposed before that some doctors get kickbacks from Big Pharma and some doctors actually own, or own a share in local pharmacies.
doctors dont care. especially hospital doctors, no empathy.
Thank you sir. As a retired nurse i completely agree with you. Common sense doesnt exist anymore.
Thank you for your years of dedicated hard work. A great nurse is worth her/his weight in gold. A nurse can be the patient's best ally and advocate. People need to understand this and cultivate a pleasant respectful relationship with all nurses when hospitalized. Spent 8 days in excellent hospital 10 years ago. My nurses loved me and I treasured them. Got me through a challenging time
Hospitals make a huge profit margin from medications administered to patients. That's the most likely reason for the nonsensical protocols.
That still doesn't explain why doctors in physician offices are so quick to prescribe a med before attempting anything else.
@@rugrat1235 Doctors directly and indirectly make money, receive gifts, vacations in the form of educational conferences sponsored by Big Pharma etc. That's why Pharmaceutical Reps make regular visits the Doctors Offices.
@@rugrat1235Big Pharma pays their reps to entice Doctors to prescribed their drugs. They use cash incentives, lavish vacations under the guise of continual education and conferences.
Yeah. I remember the media sensation about the $400 Advil tablet on a hospital bill.
Some doctors say they are "written up" for not prescribing enough statins. That doesn't mean you have to have them filled or take them.
I had a home patient in her 90s. One day i held her meds and monitered her BP all day. I leatned that it fluctuated at the same as when she got meds. It went up early morning, so she could get out if bed. It dropoed after bearfast and she'd nap at the table... Our body has a rhythm.

My latest doctor's office labeled me as medication resistant bc I refused a statin. I have 1 risk factor (former smoker) & am pretty damn healthy at 65 y.o. - no chronic illnesses at all. And I was on medications, mostly due to skin related ro skin related allergy complications.
They kicked me outta their practice that I'd been at for almost 5 years.

It's no different when visiting a GP........I even had to request my BP meds be reduced due to light headiness when standing up from a chair. Despite the recorded stats, the medication was too strong. How many older people don't know their medication could be leading them to fall?
In theory you could reduce them yourself. You don’t need a doc do it for you…

He simply turned to an anti vax stance when his viewing figures went down at the end of the pandemic He cherry picks poor quality and debunked studies to present, presents blog posts as publish studies, feigns outrage at what he knows to be standard practice in drug trials that he has previously agreed is the norm, misrepresents statistics and invites discredited and struck off medics to his channel and presents them as world renowned experts. Worst of all he simply ignores studies and meta analysis that do not align with what he knows gets the clicks on youtube. He and others like him do a great deal of damage to peoples health and generate mistrust of the medical community, and then worse still when the effects of what they do starts to filter through to public health like growth in measels outbreaks because of lower vaccination rates they then hold that up as proof that we are being lied to about vaccine effecacy. Anyone that can say they have 'lost trust in ALL doctors' has quite simply lost touch with reality.
It's the same with vets. I asked one what he thought of a certain supplement for one of our dogs suffering from IBD. He looked at me blankly and said he had only been trained in "western medicine".
This as we walked out with the umpteenth course of antibiotics, cortisone, and another medication I can't remember.

My mother had 2 x AZ jabs back when it was recommended and from that moment her BP fluctuated enormously. Then they put her on Telmisartan AND Amlidopine and her BP dropped to 100/69 and even though she kept telling them that she was so tired all the time, they did nothing about it. When I found out that her BP was so low, I told her to stop taking the Telmisartan (based on one of your previous videos) and since then her BP has stabilised to around 140/80. And I think that's good for a 90 year old 👍.

Thank you- really appreciate your kind words!

Well said Dr. Dhand. I observed this very thing with my sister in hospital. She was prescribed so much BP medication her BP dropped dangerously low 80/40. When she was discharged from hospital I suggested she ring her GP with the readings. The GP then took her off all her medication and her BP returned to normal
I was told my b/p equipment wasn't accurate. My boyfriends b/p after every fall was extremely low. Equipment tested fine & Dr got mad when I reminded her that seditary patient's b/p probably reads normal when they walk 1100 feet into exam room & get b/p checked right away.

Big Pharma does NOT agree 💉💊
This is absolute truth. I have been a nurse for nearly 30 years. It is frightening to be utterly honest
Yes, Dr. Dhand I have witnessed this myself as a nurse in the hospital! Also, as an older nurse we had to rely on hands on skills which served us well. I have seen so many times clinicians relying on what the monitor says and never touching the patient! Monitors are great but skilled clinicians shouldn't completely rely on them.
I remember a Nurse told me the alarm went off in the patients room. Her cardiac leads were off but they began CPR on her . Wait!!! She's breathing and has a pulse. OMG. Stop
I fired my doctor, canceled ALL of my prescriptions, and three months later, I feel much better! If I end up in the hospital against my will, my first words will be, "Discharge me!" I will be the most uncooperative patient they have ever seen!
Curious, what meds were you taking?
Me too. If it's my time, I'm going to be AT HOME if I can.
A hospital already killed off 3 members of my closest family. The last one being my mother, and over what? Lack of caring for a treatable bed sore that ended up infecting her blood. They were too busy pushing their covid agendas that they refused to allow me or my father in to watch what was going on with my mother. She died 3 years ago, but the wound is still fresh as if we lost her yesterday. I will never trust hospitals ever again. I had emergency surgery a year ago but haven't been back for follow up appointments or visited my doctor since, and I will continue to avoid them. They to me are nothing more than slaughterhouses, and the only reason I had the surgery was to stick around to care for my elderly father, otherwise I would have taken my chances.
I’m an RN and I no longer go to the Dr. I wish I lived near you so you could be my Dr. I loved how you emphasized bring a minimalist who allows the body to heal itself; & how you emphasized common sense.
It's not lack of common sense. It's lack of any sympathy or open minded to actual patient care. Real care.
Thank You Dr Dahnd! My husband was over medicated like this at the hospital, and when he got out our primary care tried to tell him 97/70 was great! Too tired to get out of bed and almost fainting when getting up? Great! He is 50yrs old and works, and you know, would like to participate in life. NOT GREAT. Also, because the anticoagulant was too strong and making him artificially anemic, he wanted to add iron, but REFUSED to lower the max dose anticoagulant. Institutions and industry have changed the very words they use to scare people into doing what you are told and actively discourage questions, may even answer with vague or threatening answers. Please be vigilant, advocate for yourself and your loved ones, know the red flags for bad treatment and doctor response, research what you can, and shop for a new doctor if you must. Thank God for Dr Dhand!

Check into the watchman procedure if he has an irregular heart beat. My Mom had Afib and that was the only reason she took blood thinners. She had it done Dec 15 as an outpatient procedure. 6 weeks later she was approved to stop all blood thinners. So happy 😀
Until I retired I was a ward manager on a frailty ward. Patients came to us via medical assessment whereby they were given new medications and our frailty consultants spent their time taking them off. Poly pharmacy is a huge cause of falls in the elderly which leads to fractures and immobility and in some cases shortens their life span. The problem I see is that most studies are backed by big pharma so they have a financial motive to get more people on medications they probably only need in the short term which they continue taking for years.
I've been an RN for over 30 years. I'm appalled at the number of staff who don't know (or don't care) how to take a proper blood pressure (proper technique, correct equipment, manually checking results that are outside the accepted parameters of the electronic equipment, etc.). No treatment should start without the correct information.
In 2008 I had a VP shunt put in. When I was wheeled into ICU my blood pressure was elevated. I don’t know how much. A nurse came in and saw my blood pressure and said she wanted to talk to a doctor to prescribe me medication for it. I said no I don’t normally have high blood pressure. I’m probably stressed from just having surgery. Thankfully as far as I know I was not given BP medication. It seemed like a snap decision without checking my medical history/records.
A Doctor with common sense???!!! Whoa!!!!! 🤯 Thank you for being a human being and not an unfeeling, unthinking, individual. Bravo!!!! ❤❤❤
I have a troubled digestive system, I had covid in January and it has made my digestive system far worse. The doctors in the uk couldn’t care less. 😢😢
Change dr 😊
Please consider a keto or carnivore diet. You'll be amazed at the healing potential!
Praying for you
@@ianstuart5660 I can’t afford to loose anymore weight on a keto diet and I have a complex large colon and don’t like much meat. But great advice thank you.
@@imbonkers3629 I can’t sadly as I did try.
For the past few years I've gotten into the habit of looking online about the meds I've been prescribed. I discovered that the symptoms I complained about were caused by some of these meds . I just stopped taking them all. I'm much better now except for the crucial ones for my asthma and even then use them sparingly. I just avoid sugar and carbs for a keto/carnivore diet. Much cheaper and healthier.

I wish I could have you for my doctor. As a nurse so disheartened with Healthcare system. Thank you for your posts!
They almost killed my 93 year old Mother doing this without my knowledge. Ty God that I visited her everyday and could intervene.
I had to rewind. I couldn't believe you were saying they would give the bp drugs if the SYSTOLIC was over 100 or 110. Then I realized that yes, you were really saying that this is Standard of care in the hospitals. Crazy. Thanks for warning us. You really need a knowledgable advocate if you ever go into the hospital.
I have had two operations.
After the first one i nearly died.
I could not eat qnd horrendous symptoms. It was an Arab doctor who found the cause- very rare bug. Thank God for that doctor.
Second operatio resulted in very low blood pressure, high tempreture and an infection. I was fed so much medication.
Afyer a week I was deteriorating
so discharged myself. A relative helped me escaoe. After two weeks at home I improved.
The hospital doctors were shocked when I returned for tests.😢
I've had many surgeries, & been sick for many years, so my experience in hospitals is massive. Anytime I'm in the hospital I watch my BP & vitals myself as much as possible. I ask what every med is, & often refuse some. I've caught them giving some meds I never took. If I hadn't asked....
Medical records can be wrong- I've corrected mine many times. They always insist it's right now, all fixed. Next trip- meds are wrong again. They don't care, there's no excellence in anything anymore.
We aren't required to automatically accept anything they say! Right below this post there's an ad for a nasal midazolam spray! All we see constantly are drug ads, and I think it's part of the greed & depopulation effort not just by globalists but by the medical profession as well. Dr's aren't so stupid they can't see all that's going on.
The Doctors are not stupid, but they ARE manipulated and controlled by outside actors like Big Pharma💉💊
You're obviously costing too much !
I agree !
Actually, I'm in danger of costing too much too. Despite the fact that I decline some meds, I've had a lot of tests recently, and cataracts in both eyes. Trying to avoid more joint replacements.
Dr Dhand, a beacon of light in a dark world.
Thank you for taking a stand against so much insanity.
I am so glad to hear you speak on this topic ! As an R.N. I know from experience that what you are saying is very true. Another thing that happens is that a patient comes in with problems that are likely caused directly or indirectly from too much blood pressure medication. (Needs can change ! ) During hospitalization the nurses end up holding most of the blood pressure medications and the patient improves. Then the hospitalist on call comes to discharge the patient and writes "Continue home meds" Then off goes the patient on too much medication again. It is so important for anyone on blood pressure medication to take their own blood pressure twice a day and before and after medication, and keep a record of it. This would save so many lives.
Mother left hospital with new blood pressure medication and was told to take her old medication too.Her blood pressure plummeted. Discharge instructions almost killed her.
All my friends get told they need statins. We are all in our 70's.
I went to the doctors as I wanted my thyroid checked. He didn't know me and remarked that I wasn't on any medcation. I laughed and said well thats good, isn't it!
He said lets get a blood test done and then take it ftom there.
Two weeks later I rang for my results. The receptionist said my results were within the normal parameters. I then asked specifically what was tested ie kidney function, thyroid etc.
Is it just me?I want to be in control of my health.I want to know what was tested and what the results are. Gojng to have to get access to my health record's.
Dont let doctors take you down the medication route just becsuse of your age!
Thankfully an honest brooker❤
This is one of my greatest concerns as I'm getting older, pressure from doctors to take medication. Drugs might help keep us alive, but they don't make us healthy. I don't just want to be alive. I want to be healthy and thrive. I don't want to end up in a nursing home drooling in a wheelchair. And I'm sick of investors using people's health to get rich.
An optometrist I had not seen before asked my age before examining my eyes. Then said ‘we’ll give you bifocals’. Based on my age.
My elderly mother was prescribed medication for high blood pressure that made her quite ill so she didn't want to take it. I gave her nettle tincture and tea, added small amounts of turmeric, cinnamon and ginger with a pinch of cayenne in the tea, adding honey. Within 2 weeks she was within normal range and didn't feel ill any more. Her energy levels improved too. I was nervous about suggesting the regime but since she wouldn;t take the conventional medicine, it was worth trying the old ways.
I have read that research has shown hibiscus tea reduces blood pressure as well. 🤷♀️ Would be worth people trying before going on medication.
Cayenne pepper is fantastic turmeric works best if it's injested with fats so good to here she doing well
@@Minipoppy-r5kThank you for responding with those points and for asking - its very kind of you. She is doing really well considering how poorly she had become. I make sure she takes black pepper to allow the turmeric to be better absorbed but not in the tea. Cayenne pepper is better than aspirin, I think, for thinning the blood and keeping you healthy. The nettles are adaptogenic, rather like plantain and self heal, and are really good for boosting energy and cleansing the vascular system. Its all ''old wives'', from my childhood, and feels odd to now be making ''the potions'' I learned as a child when my mother, then young, was being shown how by the old women of the village [a Scottish Highland village]. I think that now modern science has verified much of what we knew without the terminology to describe it all. Mum is nearly 90 now.
I just started taking turmeric supplements that also have ginger about 5 months ago. I also drink green tea with honey every day. I’ve had so many benefits from it
@@punkroxgirl It makes a difference, doesn't it? I like to add in various herbs to my own tea mix, even the nettle one - ribwort [plantain] nasturtium, lavender and lemon balm, a pinch of rosemary and so on. I use one of those tea ball contraptions and one fill does 4 mugs easily though I add more spices if necessary. A good pinch of cayenne is very good for keeping the weather of the Scottish Highlands out! I often throw a green tea bag in as well actually - I haven't yet mastered the dark art of growing that plant! Its a good suggestion as it is very beneficial indeed.

You are very correct. Despite trying to correct her records to prevent blood pressure meds being given, this is what happened to my mother. She died.
So sorry to hear this
I'm sorry to hear this as well. I'm a Nurse for over 33 years and the new grads are in a hurry and don't think. It's all Corporate run and in a rush. They don't want to hire experienced Nurses now. So sad.
@@Hartmannk It is sad all around. These newer medical staff will see the truth many years from now. I never thought I’d truly understand dark ages. The damages will be experienced for decades.
@@FL-dv7tq Don't worry, with the collapse of society in progress, we likely don't have decades .😠
Let's have a discussion on EMF, 5 G and Dizzy spells in our homes, because i am seeing a lot of this happen.
Yes, you are right. I do grounding to counter act the EMF in our household. We can’t avoid the EMF exposure but we can ground ourselves.
This issue is exactly what contributed to my spouse dying in hospital! He had many complications related to heart disease and his BP was already low yet they continued to give him more bp medication! 😢
Thank you Dr D. Just wish there were more doctors with minds of their own.
I was in the hospital for a heart issue my BP was slightly elevated 130/80. They went wild lowering my blood pressure…I warned them that I was a low blood pressure person as a rule. Didn’t listen they eventually lowered it so low I had a “ low blood pressure stroke”. Thank god my wife noted my garbled speech. She couldn’t understand me…panic button again this time to raise my BP…the end result was ok thanks to my wife taking action by the way this happened at Mass General “ the best in the world they say” phony bastards”
130/80 is not even high.
My husband started Multiple Myeloma treatments 9/2023. ( he takes lisinopril for mild hypertension) A couple weeks after starting chemo, he fainted getting out of the shower. He could not respond to me and lay on the floor as pale as death. I thought he was having a heart attack. A quick call to dr office. Apparently his blood pressure dropped and he no longer needed lisinopril. I wish I had been warned of a possible drop in blood pressure. This experience was very stressful.
Yes, common sense is just not very common !!!!
I enjoy your posts Dr Dhand. Thankyou!! Greetings from Sydney Australia. 🍎🍎
Appreciate you watching Joanne!
True story happened to me. After visiting a new Dr (to me) a few times they declared I had high blood pressure and gave me a prescription. While at the pharmacy I didn't feel convinced so I bought the best BP machine they had and then like a demon I was taking my BP at least 10 times a day for a month. I'd take it at work, home, at night etc......Went back to the Dr with all the results and she said it was good that I didn't take the pills because my BP was fine and I actually had "white coat syndrome".........I really dislike medical offices of any kind.
My goodness this is exactly what happened to me only I took the tablets even when I had my blood pressure tested after being on them for a length of time my blood pressure went through the roof. I now know I have white coat syndrome. So they do my blood pressure over the phone even so it still goes up slightly. They phoned me (Dr) and asked how I felt about cholesterol tablet. I asked why is my cholesterol high...they said no but maybe in the future you could have a stroke... well you can imagine I was furious so I'm now weaning myself of these horrendous tablets bc I know my blood pressure is perfectly normal at home.
WHITE COAT SYNDROME is actually a phenomenon. I have that, too! When I’m anxious. I have a BP monitor bought it three years ago and I would check my pressure like 50 times a day. It was mad! Last time I measured my BP was last Feb. 2023 and it was 130/80(ish) that was after my Covid infection. Good enough for me.
I never measure my BP anymore since last year. It can consume one’s life. I just walk everyday, purée vegetables, drink water, sleep as much , walk barefoot outside.
@@GraceDollesin I'm glad you said that bc that's what I did ...I dont check mine thst often now. I take good supplements d3 and k2 magnesium keeps blood pressure right.

I worked as an RN in many hospitals, and we never gave BP meds unless the DIASTOLIC was over 100 and the systolic over 140-160.
Great,sensible, honest advice. A breath of fresh air in this "Mad World". 💊💊💊💉💉💉
SO correct regarding your comment about "group think'"
THANK YOU for being one of the exception.
Know you are not alone.
Another factor of this issue is the fact that these new BP machines, and the way they are used, are wildly inaccurate. Staff are no longer allowed to take blood pressures correctly!
RN here and I agree!
Always higher on machine.
The heartbeat is higher if taken manually though........
They take it on the right arm and over clothing.
I insist they use the bare left arm.
I just got a text recently from my doctors surgery asking me to book in for my yearly blood pressure test. I never had one last year or the year before. I deleted it and said not a chance!
I have a dysregulated sympathetic/ parasympathetic system due to a congenital condition. When i tell doctors, and sometimes nurses i need to avoid certain meds because they affect me dramatically they either get irritated & insist i take it anyway or just give me a blank stare. None ever make a note of it in the records. After a surgery a doctor insisted i take Amiodarone. I protested but the doctor was adamant & angry, saying i needed to quit running my own show. I took one pill and it affected me so badly the nurses told me later they were very afraid they were going to lose me. I absolutely refused to take more. The doctor would not discuss it more and acted as if it never happened.. I have many stories of these things happening to my mother also.
Isn't the healthcare system here to assist the patient in functioning and healing? Why do they treat us as if we exist to blindly obey even if it kills us? That doesn't even make sense. It's costly and causes misery also.
I'm screwed if I end up in the hospital. I don't have any loved ones that are still alive.
Me too. Terrifying isn't?
@@juliawigger9796yes it really is
Yes, Its very frustrating! I don't trust any medical people anymore, after terrible experiences.
@@juliawigger9796 YES!!
@@juliawigger9796 YES!! it really is because in my experience they'll torture you for as long as they can keep you alive ! We don't even have a right to a compassionate, dignified death at a time and of a manner of our choosing. Freedom in the US is a myth.
Dr Dhand, you are gifted. Being able to think critically would have to be the most important skill a doctor must have, but sadly most don’t seem to possess that skill. Thank you for your wisdom.
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words
Marvellous contribution. Thank you. Unfortunately even though I come from a family of physicians, with different specialities, I didn’t want to become one. I sometime regret it now in case I could have made a change. I was probably right though because it is only now that people are starting to ask questions. I also wish that one day complementary medicines like reflexology, homeopathy and the art of acupuncture will be used commonly one they can help. Especially homeopathy for babies and children - this is only an example in my view.
Dietary and nutrition changes may be even more powerful than those that you mentioned. It certainly has been for myself and so many others. And I'm not at all talking about government food guidelines. Those are as corrupt as mud!
It took me way to long to realize that my cholesterol and BP meds were simply a patch and the real problem was my diet. I was overweight and heading towards pre-diabetes. I finally realized that it was because of my (American) diet of ultra processed foods. Went Keto 2 years ago. Lost 50lbs and chose to stop all Dr prescribed meds (Lipitor and Licinopril). My Dr. tried really hard to keep me on them suggesting just lowered doses. I haven't felt this good since before I was 50. I'm now 70 and have good A1C, BP and cholesterol.
Eat right. Live well. Remove sugar and ultra processed foods from your diet and reap the rewards.
Great story to hear! Please share far and wide
I so agree with what you've said. They seem to follow rules without thinking of the individual and situation. Doctors, specialists seem to have lost their thinking process!!!! Give them a pill and their back is covered!!!! 😢
Thank you. When my mum was last in hospital, being given her normal BP meds. Her blood pressure was so low she couldn't stand up without feeling faint. I asked to see her doctor saying imo they need to check her meds as her BP was so low. The doctor was contemptuous and accused me of being an internet expert. I had never said I checked it online, but to be fair anybody could see she was worse in hospital than at home. My mum was so worried about me questioning the doctor that she gave in and told me not to pursue it as they must know what they were doing. She sadly died in hospital, after a dizzy spell that made her fall and she lost consciousness as she banged her head really badly. I hope others benefit from your advice and challenge where they think appropriate
Admitted to hospital last year in the UK...first thing, after all the preliminaries were accomplished, was to attempt to put me on blood thinning meds....
I have a pacemaker for a low heartbeat, with low bp at the best of time. Refused the meds, had a real fight with the docs and still refused.
6 days later I walked out, against their wishes. I’d lost over 6kg, due to refusing to eat their ultra processed food, couldn’t believe that even in hospital they still don’t understand the importance of proper wholesome food.
It’s almost like the process is engineered that way on purpose, so eventually we’re back under their control again, like it’s a financial business?
Educate yourself...then do more research and keep doing it, because You are in control of you, no one else....
So true… my BP 140/90 for the last 60 years even through multi pregnancies …… stay off meds to live a healthy life
I applaud you for saying we are over medicated, but never being told why? It’s just do it.
Agree. My bf has short term memory issues. His meds were kept the same dose, even after a 75 pound weight loss. Once confronted by me, they finally reviewed his meds. We need an advocate sometimes.
I'm actually convinced that most doctor ARE trying to harm patients. They are too intelligent and highly educated to act so eagerly to harm patients unless it was deliberate.
They don't know because they have been trained with bad information. Carnivore Diet.
@enonknives wrong - it doesn't take intelligence to memorize given info long enough to pass a test.
Clearly NOT intelligent and educated all wrong. The way doctors are educated needs to be scrapped and started all over again.
@@joan.nao1246 -- It's more than just memorization, but I agree that doctors aren't more intelligent than others. Just differently educated.
They're influenced by many factors other than the patient in front of them, and sometimes don't realize how much so.
True this. Halved my husband's losartan as he was dizzy otherwise. Doc keeps trying to get the dose back to 25mg but I'd rather his pressure be a bit high and him have normal mentation, then lower and passing out. These docs aren't using their noggin.
Amazingly honest and refreshing post, thank you Dr Suneel. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus etc etc and have long ago realized that I have to take my health concerns into my own hands and trust my gut and on several occasions I have found how my medications and health are being mistreated by my physicians and specialists. Be vigilant guys, do your own research and get 2nd or 3rd opinions if you have to, it may just save your life or that if someone you love
I agree they are to aggressive with blood pressure medication the whole world can’t have the same blood pressure
As a doctor for over 40 years in uk, this is all true, however having spent the last decade looking after the physical health of patients in secure psychiatric units the pharmacological abuse of these patients will go down in history as the dark ages of mental health medicine. In a nutshell “ if our drugs turn you into a drooling zombie they’re working, if not, you need a bigger dose”!
Reminds me of the time (10 years ago when I was 67 and still teaching full time) my blood pressure shot up. My doctor put me on 5mg tablets with instructions to come and seen him in 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks a local nurse working once a week in a chemists shop worked with me to bring my BP down. She succeeded. When I returned to see my doctor he checked my BP and said "Well your BP is down so we'd better double your dose". The new prescription was for 10 mg tablets. Theee days later I returned to his surgery and asked if I could continue taking the 5mg tablets. I've never forgotten his reply or careless attitude as with a shrug of the shoulders he turned to his computer saying "do what you like". I now believe these doctors know they are answerable to no-one. If school teacher's behaved similarly during an Ofsted inspection they would FAIL. Incidentally 3 months later I stopped taking BP medication using diet. I'm 77, retired from teaching in 2021 and despite my doctor telling me diet would "probably not" help either, have never returned to any form of medication. They seem to have no knowledge of the healing power (or otherwise) of food.
Read Change your diet Change your mind by Dr. Georgia Ede. May you improve the health of your patients through real food.
I had a health crisis about a year ago now. Hospitalized for anxiety and exhaustion. Drs made me take meds. I was NOT EVER informed of my rights as a patient. EVER about anything . Drugs made me hallucinate. They said I can't leave without taking drugs. I said no drugs because of side effects. I just want to go home. Not allowed to go home without taking drugs. Then staff threatened physical intimidation and harm if I didn't take drugs. Different drugs. Different side effects. I kept trying to decline. Then they threatened me with electro shock and their diagnoses just kept getting more and more bizarre because those drugs made me so much worse. A year later and I'm irreparably injured -physically, neurologically and cognitively. I feel some deteriorating everyday...bit by bit. I stopped taking drugs soon after I got home but was so traumatized that I was hallucinating for long time after. They did it on purpose and have done similar to others as well. Watch out. No lawyer will touch this for injury case. Use this as another warning.
I think you would love Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring's channel. Lots of info on harm from psych meds.
Thanks, Doctor, for your common sense approach to Healthcare, and yes, I agree. Today's Healthcare system seems to be full of "technicians" acting as automatons, rather than being the critical thinkers that we were trained to be long ago.
Another example of overly tight control of bio parameters is blood glucose: there was an aggressive approach to achieving tight control, which only led to higher mortality rates. I'm still a working flight nurse, and my solemn oath to "do no harm" and "evidence based practice ' still applies. Best to you.
Do you remember when a “normal” blood sugar was 120? Now that’s “pre-diabetes. Time for drugs.
There was a medical observation report from a military hospital in England during WWII where they observed that the wounded soldiers who had higher blood pressures (130s 140s) recovered better and faster. Ooooo .....maybe the Body and Mind knows what it’s doing by delivering more oxygen and materials to heal.

I find the thing they put on your arm very painful. How do you get an accurate reading when you're hurting someone? They tighten it and tighten it, like being in a vice. I asked the nurse once, if I put a nail in her foot, wouldn't that raise the blood pressure?
Fear and pain increase your blood pressure ! 😊
@@danielleschmidt7825So true, I was having my blood pressure taken once many years ago and for some reason the doctor ( not my regular Dr ) doing the procedure made me really nervous. I can’t recall what it was about him that frightened me but my normal blood pressure reading was too high & he said he couldn’t understand why. I knew exactly why. lol
My goodness that hurts like hell my whole arm burns and I actually whimper. How the heck is that logical
Hmmm, you've got a point there 🤔
I just read recently that lipedema is a cause of pain from a blood pressure cuff.
I agree with you totally. We nurses must be patients’ advocates and always question the doctors “why ?”.
You have brought a very important point not just for BP for all medical conditions. Do not overload with medicines, let the body heal naturally while assisting with minimal medicine and other care. I admire your passion for medical profession.
