For the chronic alcoholic, detoxing without medical supervision can be fatal. The hallucinations without medication was beyond anything I've ever experienced. Frightening doesn't begin to describe what it's like. I'm one of the lucky ones. Finally got sober, and will shortly celebrate 27 years. I only mention this, because people need to know that long term sobriety is possible.
@@Mark-pp7jy Brilliant. I dont mind discussing within this chat box or privately. I have quite a public story that is easily accessible by Googling (if that's even a word) my name. I'm trying to reach out to as many people and programs as I can. I'm waiting on a bed for rehab, I was sober 2 years and have unfortunately returned to my former ways. Very scary, but I wondered if you have any advice for me? ATB Mitch
@@TobyLerone-yn3rr Have you ever read chapter three from the Big Book of AA? It describes perfectly the "countless vain attempts" to get sober. The medical supervision you will get will be helpful while there, but nobody gets sober in rehab. Three things need to happen before you will attain long term sobriety. One, surrender. Two, live differently, and three, development of a spiritual condition. Simple as that! Best wishes!
This girl was 100% me when I would be hospitalized for alcohol and would start going through the withdrawals. This brought back so many painful memories because it's like looking at a mirror. Wanting to hurry up and get out of there so I could get "well" again with alcohol. I currently have 25 months sober.
Anyone who is struggling with alcohol reading this - this is Not how it actually goes when you are in the hospital to detox for withdrawal. When my withdrawal symptoms began, I was given medication immediately and regularly for 5 days until the symptoms totally subsided. The first interaction I had with medical staff was in a room with the lights lowered where a doctor very gently told me what was about to happen and he was completely non judgemental. The people at the hospital know that stopping drinking is very dangerous and uncomfortable in the beginning. They know how to make sure you get through it without discomfort. Don't be deterred by this video it is Not what actually happens.
Absolutely my experience as well. They would have been suicidal to come in the room with all the lights on and scream talking their questions at someone detoxing or close to it. They don't play around like this and if you even hint at the fact of being a drinker and they notice any symptoms of alcohol withdrawal they immediately set the pads up on each side of the bed in case of seizure and blow you away with an i.v. and the maximum amount of librium and adivan. This mockery is ridiculous 😒 they should keep it real as not to influence any nurse watching this to copy her behavior
@@davida7559 one needs to be dependent on alcohol. The addiction needs to be fed and when it is not, the body goes into withdrawals. It is extremely terrifying and painful. So much so that you will lie, cheat or steal to get alcohol to stave off the sickness. If you are not dependent, you can drink a lot and either achieve a level of poisoning, or a severe hangover but that is totally different.
I'm a mental health nursing instructor and found your video to be a good and accurate depiction of nursing care of the patient in ETOH withdrawal. Great job, thanks!
Alcohol withdrawal is the worst I had to have any form of alcohol when I woke up in the middle of the night with tremors and palpitations many more die from alcohol withdrawal than anything else. Glad to be sober for 3 years now. Give her some Lithium ASAP!
Erm, lithium? This needs correction because alcohol withdrawal can cause life threatening seizures. Lithium is not effective against seizures; it is not an anticonvulsant. My concern is that people trying to withdraw from alcohol will obtain lithium and DIY. Benzodiazepines are used in alcohol detox, sometimes in conjunction with anticonvulsants like carbamazepine or phenytoin. Delirium tremens (acute alcohol withdrawal) is a medical emergency. With regard to the video; this is a training video, and yes, the nurse’s approach is insensitive and judgmental. It’s also a pretty accurate portrayal of what to expect from the average ER-where addictions are often seen as self-inflicted injuries and often draw judgment and disdain from overworked nurses, as well as interns and residents who are just paying dues until they can specialize. If you need to withdraw from alcohol, call AA. Someone will go to the hospital with you and help advocate for effective care. EXPECT to feel shamed and/or put on the defensive by staff who may not have sufficient training or institutional support.
Librium? I wrote this in response to a comment suggesting lithium...which I now can’t find. Still, Ativan or diazepam plus an anticonvulsant is still SOC.
@@lisar9425 lithium I went to detox several times in CO and that’s what their SOC was likely because benzodiazepines are addictive and they don’t want to send you home from a 3 day detox with a benzo they also gave me a small amount to take home it was a good simple detox in FL they give you a red drink throughout the day and when you leave that cold turkey it’s miserable I can only speak from personal experiences.
@Ulle Bishope yes but this is only for detoxing it’s a few days and it works great the red drink is all benzodiazepines so it takes a while to leave your system.
I have drank heavy for 30 yrs, I mean 7 days a week, and 8 tall beers and half a bottle of whiskey a day. I stopped a month ago and everything had been amazing. No bad withdrawal at all. I have not felt this good in years.
Some people don’t have withdrawals. I’m an opiate addict and am in recovery. The withdrawals were awful for me. I have a friend that used just as much or more then me. He could go without dope and would be perfectly fine. It blew my mind and pissed me off, I would be curled up in a ball feeling like complete shit. He would be just as normal as can be.
@@Youre_Righthe pretended.. I do it sometime too to show myself how mentally strong am i in front of my friends. Its impossible not to feel withdrawal effects to some extent
@@lust4life791 Actually you’re wrong. Not everyone is the same. I am immune to the flu. I have never had it in my life. I’ve been around people with it. It’s just a quirk in my immune system. I can also roll around in poison ivy and not have anything happen.
Yes. The two times I've gotten the delirium tremens were absolutely traumatizing. Hearing full on conversations that aren't there, thinking I'm going to die based on how I feel, the absolute panic. You can find a slice of hell here on earth if you look for it.
This is so sad.. real or not, I can’t imagine being an alcoholic or drug addict. We urgently need to end the stigma on mental illness so those with issues want treatment. Then we also need to revamp mental health treatment, centers and long term care living.
While I totally understand the educational aspect of this video and how it accurately depicts plenty of alcoholics thrown into hospital settings, this is why for me personally, I've always told the nurses and drs right away upon admission that I was an alcoholic likely going through withdrawals. That made their job a lot easier and made getting the medication I desperately needed to feel better and not have seizures come all the more quickly. It would basically be medical malpractice for healthcare professionals to not give you benzos if you're in alcohol withdrawal in an inpatient hospital setting, so just be honest and tell them you're an alcoholic and everyone benefits from being upfront about it!
@@florenceglenn4627 I've been in the ER a couple times for this...no one asked these questions during withdrawal. These are questions for after detox. Especially with that annoying voice.
As a nurse this is the BEST looking alcoholic I have ever seen!! Hair hair is clean, her color is good as well as her demeanor... a few other things are off, but you get the point!!
I hallucinated for the first night and couldn't sleep but recovered at home. I declined the hospital stay, and had family around through the detox. Alcohol is the worst ever. Stay away from that killer. I will never put myself through that again.
Yeah and I'm not even withdrawing. They need to educate medical professionals better. 1) Don't scream and talk and talk and talk when you have a withdrawing patient. Turn the lights down and talk quiet and only as much as necessary.
I really dislike when they put their hands on you like at the beginning I usually tell them not to and then that's when they start acting out by leaving me for the very end.
I can relate to how much she is moving around and wiggling her fingers non-stop. She is in the best care @ hospital rather than anywhere else. Give her Ativan or Lybrium. The anxiety of a seizure to come is the most horrible feeling.
My twin entered the hospital yesterday so I’ve been watching similar videos to understand what to expect when I go to see him. I thought the only outcomes were him drinking himself to death or winding up in prison, but I love seeing the camaraderie in the comments and people mentioning how long they’ve been sober. Let’s us know that there is hope for him and that he can be sober long term.
I have detoxed about 8 times had about 10 seizures in total, heard voices, saw creatures, attacked hospital staff. Everything you can think of. Only way to detox properly is librium stave off the seizures and hallucinations.
@@chantalalook2626 Longest I've detoxed in a hospital setting is 2 weeks but usually its around 8 days here in the UK. I've also been drinking daily for around 6 months currently. Do you mind me asking what you are drinking and how much?
Kinda of odd to see comments asking if this video is real or re-enactment. It’s an educational video, kudos to the “actors” for recreating a traumatic experience. Too bad some people feel the need to be overly critical on nuances. Great job with SBAR.
Our friend just died of alcoholism at the age of only 40! In the Pandemic while out of work and being depressed. He drank himself to literal death. Very 😥 sad!
That's how I feel. I broke my leg was out of work then found out my wife was seeing a coworker behind my back, moved, got covid, lost my job of 6yrs then found out I need hip replacement surgery so my drinking has not gotten better at all that's what brings me here
@@SORGIGERMANICO Stay strong and I hope your getting the correct care and good care. As far as the drinking, try to slow it down like a diet. I know a few heavy drinkers and they know when it's time to at least limit the intake a bit. Your wife, I'm sorry, terrible broken trust. Not everyone can deal with stress in a relationship or life for that matter, in the same ways. Some tend to be very selfish and hurtful to other's in the process. Feel better and get support. Talking it out and just releasing that frustration can help sometimes. You'll get another job when your ready,, they liked you for 6 year's, so not all things last forever as we all know. I'm praying for ya, feel better! The sky's are still blue!
Being an alcoholic for 30 years been sober 7 years I’ve been in plenty of emergency rooms jails and rehabs I use to get seizures from my alcohol withdrawals and I felt like I was gonna die when I was in withdrawal this is a bad acting video this woman is not withdrawing and this isn’t what goes on in the E R when your in withdrawal
Huh what? Patients going through DTs very often have extreme external symptoms of agitation and anxiety such as profuse sweating, tremors, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, cognitive confusion and incoherence that can be established by a doctor asking basic questions, etc. I've studied the typical documented symptoms of DTs, as well as experienced them myself personally multiple times through my nasty half a gallon of vodka a day habit, and you don't have a clue about what you're talking about at all!
Man alcohol withdrawal is horrendous. I know how she feels. I've been there. I was discharged twice on a Librium taper. That nurse is pretty good and professional. I think she's administering the CIWA scale assessment. Not giving medical advice and I am not a doctor but if they dischage her without a long-acting benzo script taper she is liable to just come back. Lorazepam is fairly short-acting.
Sweetie? Vitals? This patient was obviously in distress....questions like these mean nothing. This patient needs sedation (light) so she can focus...just my opinion
This is so fake. C'mon, things like this are not filmed in real life. And whoever's filming keeps moving around the room so it's all manufactured. What's the point of this video if it's not even real?
Fake no one would treat a patient like this is way too loud show me she really doesn't care about the patient obnoxious and how she comes across to a patient it's about understanding the need of a patient and not trying to rush something because you think you cannot be bothered enough to stand there and take the time to actually speak to her quietly and with respect something she not doing to pushy way to loud out order and as my ex was an alcoholic they put you in a dark room meet you comfortable if possible make it easier not with the lights on and have drip on her
This woman needs proper training. Withdrawal from alcohol can be deadly. She is very annoying. I have a friend who I met in recovery years ago. Eventually she Decameron an addiction specialist. One of our local medical centers hired her to work in their emergency room, as an addiction specialist. When addicts and/or alcoholics are brought in to emergency, she is involved in their treatment. All the things that the nurse said that they are to do at the beginning of the exam, the nurse practitioner did not do.
So young to be in such bad shape but thiers young people who are alcoholics but withdrawals are very hard too but if they can thru it with help they'll make it and be clean but it's not easy because I've seen it in my Own family
Anyone in alcohol withdrawal couldn't keep up with all the talk and questions, just ridiculous. I once went to hospital with nad withdrawals and was treated really badly by judgement staff and sent home with nothing made to feel Nothi ng but a selfish waste of space, 2nd time same hospital o eaited 8 hours and was only given a phone consult and again sent home with nothing. Warrington General Hospital is the pits.
@@Mark-pp7jy it is as simple as I said. Don't be stupid enough to start in the first place. It's the price you pay. Same with smokers. Ever hear of common sense?
@@Mark-pp7jy yes I do know what I'm talking about. I'm an ex smoker. I quit cold turkey 30 years ago. Tobacco is a narcotic so therefore...substance abuse. Ready to say uncle yet? BTW, prohibition does sound good. It would save a lot of lives ended by a stupid drunk driver.
This scenario is obviously staged. The reason of her speaking loud is having to do with the condition of this patient. Gotta make sure the patient is coherent enough to answer the questions while the assessment is happening. It’s quite difficult to work with a patient that’s not very cooperative and that is the case here. The Nurse was very professional and handled the scenario well in my opinion 🙂
@@boytusok9197 I didn't think I could ever stop. I tried so hard but alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerful. After 18 months in AA the desire to drink left me - no struggle. I've been sober for almost 11 months now.

These questions are not appropriate when someone is at this level of alcohol withdrawal. Get meds in them, then ask these questions.

Fake no one would treat a patient like this is way too loud show me she really doesn't care about the patient obnoxious and how she comes across to a patient it's about understanding the need of a patient and not trying to rush something because you think you cannot be bothered enough to stand there and take the time to actually speak to her quietly and with respect something she not doing to pushy way to loud out order and as my ex was an alcoholic they put you in a dark room meet you comfortable if possible make it easier not with the lights on and have drip on her
Nurse who like "to wear stethoscope" can't help... Questions and attitude were wrong in this kind of situation..
I hope babygirls ok now sheesh I'm gonna have to admit myself soon too I been drinking alot... I mean alot
This isn't real??? Omg I thought it was🙄🙄🙄
Give her an ativan and Gatorade and send her home.
LOL
You can't have both rails up my dear
Gosh it was annoying hearing her constantly say "okay".
This woman needs proper training. Withdrawal from alcohol can be deadly. She is very annoying. I have a friend who I met in recovery years ago. Eventually she Decameron an addiction specialist. One of our local medical centers hired her to work in their emergency room, as an addiction specialist. When addicts and/or alcoholics are brought in to emergency, she is involved in their treatment. All the things that the nurse said that they are to do at the beginning of the exam, the nurse practitioner did not do.
Didn't know that alcohol can be this bad.
Oh it could be worse then this! But this is pretty bad itself, been through it many times.
Stop talking, stop stop,
So young to be in such bad shape but thiers young people who are alcoholics but withdrawals are very hard too but if they can thru it with help they'll make it and be clean but it's not easy because I've seen it in my
Own family
Nice drama class
This feeling sucks
This nurse needs some training.
I've had panic attacks/withdrawal. She's lying obviously
Is this genuine or an experiment???
She seams pretty cold and heartless
Anyone in alcohol withdrawal couldn't keep up with all the talk and questions, just ridiculous. I once went to hospital with nad withdrawals and was treated really badly by judgement staff and sent home with nothing made to feel Nothi ng but a selfish waste of space, 2nd time same hospital o eaited 8 hours and was only given a phone consult and again sent home with nothing. Warrington General Hospital is the pits.
Stop drinking.
Due to the bad acting and that VOICE, never clicked on "dont recommend channel" so fast.
Is this simulated or real??
Is this a reality show
Acting is bad definitely people who are acting
Give the girl a drink and she will be "OK"
O Tay!!!👌
Poor thing.
Is this a reenactment?
OK OK OK
Is this Canada
Texas, USA
Was this real
No, it was just short video for school assignment
No it weren't real. Gitter gitter and a sweaty nudge.
Big solution...Don't drink. Simple as that.
Holy cow, that's brilliant if you know nothing about substance abuse!
@@Mark-pp7jy it is as simple as I said. Don't be stupid enough to start in the first place. It's the price you pay. Same with smokers. Ever hear of common sense?
@@dm8553 You have no idea what you're talking about, unless you believe in prohibition.
@@Mark-pp7jy yes I do know what I'm talking about. I'm an ex smoker. I quit cold turkey 30 years ago. Tobacco is a narcotic so therefore...substance abuse. Ready to say uncle yet? BTW, prohibition does sound good. It would save a lot of lives ended by a stupid drunk driver.
@@dm8553 Well by your reasoning, you should have just told yourself not to start. Simple!
Is this real
Terrible acting there 🤣
Clearly acting......terrible acting. Massively inaccurate aswel.
is this real
Ok? Ok? Ok? Ok?
She's so loud. Why is she so loud?
This scenario is obviously staged. The reason of her speaking loud is having to do with the condition of this patient. Gotta make sure the patient is coherent enough to answer the questions while the assessment is happening. It’s quite difficult to work with a patient that’s not very cooperative and that is the case here. The Nurse was very professional and handled the scenario well in my opinion 🙂
That gal needs help
Last drink 3 months ago....lol.
😔 im drinking like 15 beers a day on the weekend sometimes 1.14l vodka a day fuck i hate my life
@@boytusok9197 I didn't think I could ever stop. I tried so hard but alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerful. After 18 months in AA the desire to drink left me - no struggle. I've been sober for almost 11 months now.
