That reminds me of the time my late Mum was rushed to Emergency (Australia) with stabbing abdominal pain so severe she'd black out. She was in her late 80s at the time, but we knew exactly what was happening. Hospital staff, whole lovely, fucked around with everything OTHER than X-ray or CT scans and decided it must be constipation. Yup, constipation. It took myself & my sister escalating our concerns rather vehemently for 2 hours to get them to scan Mum. Eventually they did and, as we expected, they discovered MASSIVE kidney stones, one side so severe the entire kidney was completely opaque in the imaging. Next day, she was in theatre & after several hours she was right as rain. The sad thing is that this was the FOURTH TIME she'd been admitted to that hospital for the same problem.
"They may lose the ability to work at all." GOOD. SHE SHOULD. Holy hell, the malpractice suit that should have taken place. Why would the father leave that incompetent to endanger other lives!?
I've witnessed this happen at a Walmart that has a McDonald's restaurant near the entry to the store. Customer was trying to file a complaint at Walmart customer service because the franchised McDonald's wasn't offering any of the promos other McDonald's were. They apparently didn't understand the "participating stores" bit and were furious that Walmart would not and could not force them to because they're separate businesses operating in the same building.
Heart palpitations story: So was this "doctor" an intern (first year out of medical school), a resident (still learning and not yet fully trained) or an attending (fully trained doctor)? For the first two, they should have known enough to call an attending, for the latter there is no excuse. OP, your father was smart to call emergency services. I hope the incident was recorded in the doctor's file permanently. Staff vs craft story: You think someone would have realized the job was falling behind schedule and investigated as to why. Subway vs gas station story: I'm a retired truck driver. Just because a restaurant, fast food or otherwise, in in the same building as a truck stop or gas station, it doesn't mean it's owned or operated by the truck stop/gas station. Most of the time the restaurant space is simply leased out to the restaurant and they have no operational or managerial overlap. HOA story: So what about the trees? Not only should those be replaced with mature, though smaller, specimens, you should also be compensated for the price of the lumber x 3.
I would have wanted to know, with the staff vs craft story, if there were any repercussions afterwards, if anybody on the upper levels ever realized what had happened. If they didn't, they had to be pretty incompetent.
The third story would have been better if there had been some kind of an update. Another "I know the manager" type customers who just proved that he really did not.
Story 1 - A friend went to the emergency department feeling nauseous, weak, and dizzy...the nurses scolded him it was probably indigestion but the doc did a chest CT...he had an aortic dissection and was dying.
Prior to being medically diagnosed with COPD I went to the ER because I was having problems breathing. They gave me a breathing treatment (nebulizer with albuterol). When it was finished the Dr. asked if I felt better. I said no. He then threw up his hands and said "Well, I don't know what is wrong with you" and left. I was so stunned and started crying because I was scared AF. The nurse was so nice after that. I hope that she dressed down the doctor for his unprofessional actions.
Story 1: That is EXACTLY why there is a "Sorry" rule here in Canada. Human decency NEEDS to trump legal recourse. It is the only way to learn from a mistake and communicate it was and you will grow from it.
I'm assuming the Doctor who mistakenly assumed that it was not a Palpation was either fired or had to be retrained, either way, I'd consider it malpractice if she did a misdiagnosis.
@@Spyro757 In Canada, saying sorry is not a legal admission of guilt. As in, I could be the reason something happened plain as day, but my saying sorry is not evidence of it in court. It frees up human interaction from legal repercussions. Effectively by saying sorry, you show you understand something went wrong and will strive fix it. But you're not on the hook for those words alone.
RW, its a shame you live so far away, I just baked a peach pie, it should be good for healing! LOL, I hope you're doing well! I love your stories, they are the bright spot in my days! Thank you so much for sharing them! Catch you again in the morning!
And to think I ate the last of the pineapple peach cobbler I made this past week today. It was good but I liked the one I made with berries more. Had strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and pineapple in it.
I used to work in a gas station/convenience store that shared a lobby with Dunkin Donuts. At least once a week someone would complain to me about the staff at Dunkin Donuts, insist I make them coffee, or scream at me because they were closed due to staffing issues.
Doctors and apology: January 1978 I went to the doctor with a very sore throat. The doctor looked and without test gave a prescription for antibiotics. 5 days later I was feeling worse and go back. The doctor took one look, backed across the room and started swearing at himself under his breath. At this point all he could test for was mononucleosis which came back positive. About 50 days later I am working and I am so sick I take 7 hours to do an hour job. Go back to the doctor. One look at my throat and he again backed across the room and started swearing at himself. Tests this time came up positive for both strep throat and mononucleosis. No apology, just swore at himself.
With the first story if this was in England OP should have reported the Doctor to the General Medical Council. While the Doctor would probably not have been struck off and unable to practice until they are restored to the register. In this case they would probably have been suspended from practice.
First story, and the doctor continues to practice questionable medicine. I wonder if the next patient will not be so lucky. The grandfather did a disservice to every other patient by letting this go.
In UK Dr's can apologise as it is not seen as an admission of anything other than empathy/sympathy in British courts. Saying I fucked up or similar is an admission of guilt/wrongdoing but not an apology
@@iain2971 Ain't gonna write an assay, but if the tree was damaged, you need a certified Arborist to check if such damage can harm the tree's growth / sustainability. If so, then the next step is to find a lawyer specialized in the law. Like I said, tree law. But is kinda vague because it depends on which state the story is in.
@@StrickerRei-Chn The story says the trees were GONE. I don't know how much more damaged they could be. I don't know how much a 100ft pine tree could cost, but it would be expensive. (plus the value of the lumber)
RedWheel, while I agree with your logic about the first story, they still should have sued. Not for money or an apology, but because that doctor was *a danger to other patients* with that attitude. You cannot let that sort of $#!% pass. MY dad had a close call because of an incompetent ER worker. He didn't want to sue. To this day we wonder if someone else might have suffered because that incompetent cretin was not disciplined. Everyone makes mistakes. But they MUST be noted and addressed, or someone else's life will be at stake.
Okay, I will admit to knowing nothing of Georgia law. I'm up here in the upper left, on the banks of the Columbia. So, enlighten me in my poverty of knowledge. What is AI landscaping?
These stories needed more. What consequences came to the company that let the "craft" employees sit idle? What about replacing the actual trees taken down? Did the "I know the manager" blowhard ever contact any manager? Was the doctor disciplined in any way? Don't leave the dear reader hanging!
Tree Lawsuit Story: OK, OP got the money for the bushes and fence...but what about the 2 pine trees? ONE 100 foot tall Pine would cost at least $100,000.00 and OP said they lost 2 of the monsters...that alone should have cost the HOA the price of a modest home BEFORE assessing the Treble Damages...OP should have gotten at least a Million for the Trees alone ($250,000.00 plus treble damages is $250,000.00 + $250,000.00 x 3 = $1,000,000.00)
Treble Damage is the triplicate, not the multiplication. So it would have been only $250k x3. Or $750k. And it is only "up to" so in this particular case it could have been lowered. Treble is for basically the "inconvenience" of the action, in order to force compliance before someone does the wrong-doing. That doesn't exactly mean bankrupting a person/association just because they destroyed a pair of trees. Still doesn't explain what happened with the trees in the first place, though. At minimum it should have had replacement or payment for both trees...
Probably yet another AI generated fake story. AIs tend to make exactly that type of mistake. They leave out important information because an AI just shuffles words and phrases; it doesn't know anything and it certainly doesn't understand relative importance of plot points.
@@lordgeovanni Except Damages are added to the base Judgement so they'd get the Base Judgement of 250 Grand plus 3x the Base of 750 Grand for a total of a Million...
On the first story, yeah. Like the narrator said at the end. They doctor *couldn't* apologize. They are taught not to because of the reasons specified. That said, she was clearly an arrogant idiot and I hope she learned from that incident.
Story 1: The doctor made the right call. Unless there were any actual cardiac symptoms beyond a patients word, then she could only act on the information she had available to her. Patients are notoriously unreliable when it comes to symptoms and histories.
While I can understand your point with the unreliability of patients, there are a few problems with your comment (in my opinion). First, while a patient is insisting that they are having a medical issue they are personally familiar with, doctors should pay more attention. Despite all medical knowledge, medicine is not an exact science. As such, there could always be situations where she is just uninformed. This is doubly important when it is something that should be IN THE RECORD for the patient. Could the patient be lying? Yes. But there are 15+ years of records showing that a good number of people believe him already. And even doubly-so again when he would specifically say that Sinus Rhythm could be showing normal - the very thing that she was claiming proved he was faking. Second, due to the potential life-risk of the situation, she shouldn't have flat-out ignored him. It simply being a life-altering and/or life-ending possibility alone should have gotten a better response. Third, calling for a second opinion is commonplace. While she might not want to believe the patient (who again, has lived with exactly this problem for well over a decade and knows the symptoms quite well), she should at least have SOMEONE she would feel comfortable asking for a second look. In fact, she could have called cardiac. Not page, call. Because if they "all knew of him by name" then she should easily be able to get confirmation. Fourth, as far as I understand, the UK has a medical system that would be easily able to check for arrhythmia far easier than any huge expense for an "unneeded medical test". Merely suggesting that his problem doesn't exist is not an acceptable answer. Fifth (and final), he was in the hospital for a REASON. He just had major surgery, lost an organ, and was literally IN the hospital BECAUSE complications can happen. She threw out exactly the reason why he was even there, 2 DAYS after surgery, just because she felt her evaluation was more important than her patient's life. To the extent she threatened to "discharge" him for trying to go around her powertrip.
PALPITATIONS USUALLY MEAN ATRIAL FIBRILATION..... HEART BEATS REALLY REALLY FAST.... AND UNTIL IT'S BACK DOWN TO "NORMAL" 56 -60 BEATS PER MINUTE IT CAN FEEL REALLY BAD...... I KNOW...... I HAVE AFIB.

Apologies vary by nation. In other nations an apology cannot be used as an admittance of guilt.
