Bill’s story is truly heartbreaking. The holidays are often even harder for those with substance use disorders. Hopefully he received the support he needed.
It really is heartbreaking how much they (elderly and chronic patients) don't want to go to the hospital, because they know there is a good chance they'll never leave.
Yeah I know, it’s so sad. I never understood it until I experienced it myself. Today actually (crazy coincidence!!!) I had a medical emergency and didn’t want to come because I have been in the hospital so many many many times. Last year I had to come in for a similar problem and ended up needing emergency surgery and was stuck there for FIFTY EIGHT days. Now every time I experience symptoms of another flare up I get so scared of going to the hospital that I I’ll put it off to the last second but it just ends up making things worse. I know now if I hadn’t I could have died tonight and last year if I hadn’t I one hundred percent WOULD have died. So I really relate to them and feel their pain. Chronic illness is so tough. Bless them. ❤
As a healthy person in her late 60's, I have to say that many of us just don't want to leave our homes. It isn't so much fear of dying in hospital as it is we are not ready to leave the comforts and familiarity of our houses. I've had a couple of incidents (delayed adverse reaction to an antibiotic; chest pains that were actually gastritis), and I just didn't want to leave my sofa, my bed, my TV, cats, etc. It's too disruptive.
With my Mom, she didn’t want to go to hospital because at home she was fairly independent, but in the hospital she had such little control over her life.
There's a really sweet moment where the dad says 'don't worry it's only carpet' and it shows that she has such loving parents. Any other parent might have been angry at that.
Instead of being frightened of having a stroke, know the symptoms! I had a stroke in August 2022, I'm not overweight, I'm healthy by comparison. I was trying to feed my cats and I couldn't hold the can and I figured it out within not even 15 minutes. No family hx of stroke. I looked in the mirror and half my face had fallen off. After 20 minutes I couldn't even press the buttons on my phone or speak. I managed to relay the information to my daughter 16 miles down the road, and ended up in the ambulance with no shoes, no contact lens, but I saved my own life because I was in ER in time to get TPA.
@@RedDem0n apparently it was a PFO, patent foramen ovale. I have a loop implant recorder in my chest (so they can get feedback re: heart). And I've started checking my blood pressure daily but that's never been an issue for me. I have a follow-up with the cardiologist next week. It's been about 6 months since the stroke. I'm very fortunate that I was knowledgeable enough to figure it out very quickly, given no prior nor family experience. I still had to undergo 6 weeks of speech therapy follow-up, et cetera. Basically, I don't sweat the SMALL stuff, you just NEVER know!!!
@@RedDem0n regarding if my doing anything differently now? Well personally I refuse to take statins. And other than monitoring myself, and I probably NEED some more physical exercise, I'm not really doing anything differently. I already DON'T eat McDonald's, fast food etc.
In Frank's story, I wondered why not one of his friends, standing around doing nothing, couldn't help to clear the driveway and sidewalks of snow?!? 🤔 The thoughtful paramedic Mike did all the work to make the walk to the ambulance as safe as possible! 💖

It's horrible when a person can't function without alcohol in their system. I have an entire family, except for me, my older brother and mom wo don't drink.
It’s so sad to see someone who has gotten to that state. I really feel for him. Addiction is a terrible disease and it’s even harder when you are so isolated. You need support to beat it or it is practically impossible. I wish him all the best. Hope he gets the help he needs. ❤
I’m not a medical professional, but that wasn’t a cardiac arrest. In a cardiac arrest the patient’s heart stops. This was a heart attack/cardiac event. Wouldn’t expect clickbaiting on this account.
I’ve had I think it was five or six of my mom‘s siblings die of COPD and it was all caused by smoking. I just wish the young today would see what it’s like living with COPD and all they go through before dying. It’s not pretty. Especially over in Europe I find that the young still find it hip to be smoking, it’s too bad. ---- I feel sorry for Bill. You could see the depression in him because he lost his leg. Nice to hear that he has cut down on his drinking as that doesn’t solve any problems. ---- Young girl with diabetes and her parents, my heart goes out to them. As I’ve been a type one diabetic for 53 years I know your body is so unpredictable. I became one at nine years old. One of my two boys at five years old became a type one diabetic, and I’m happy that at least I was able to help him along telling him what he should be looking out for and the way he should be feeling when he had a diabetic low blood sugar or how you felt when you had a high blood sugar. There’s no other diabetics in our family, and definitely no juvenile diabetics in our families history except for the two of us and that’s because of the measles as I had the measles and then became diabetic a month later and at five years old, my son was given the immunization shot and he became diabetic two months later And it’s not me saying that the measles gave us the type one diabetes it was doctors and science that said that’s how my son and I became diabetic. The little girl sounds like she’s doing very well with keeping her diabetes and Check. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
From personal experience blood sugar drops are horrible. I have lost consciousness while eating a sugared cereal to bring up my sugar level. Woke up on the floor with cereal still in my mouth. Upon waking up had a glass of chocolate mil which increased my blood sugar level. Sounds like a typical case of angina but length of duration tells that he is actively having a heart attack. Stents are a wonderful method of of opening narrowing in any vessel. They help eliminate open heart surgery. To ignore long lasting angina says you must seek medical intervention. It could be a simple procedure such as an angioplasty or installation of another stent. Angina gone a bit is not good enough. It is a life or death situation.
Genuine medical question- the man with chest pain at the 12:45 ish mark is given something in a nebuliser, you can see it work from the mist coming out the sides. Just wondering if anyone knew what they would nebulise?
So the elderly lady trouble breathing I counted 3 breathing treatments, if she is in chf your just drowning her. Copd I understand but listen to make sure your not drowning her
Are you American by any chance? That woman could not know that it's just a cold, she probably was afraid it was something more serious, she couldn't stop shaking, and she was scared, what should she do? And if it wasn't just a cold, what then? You really think you should wait until you are literally dying to call an ambulance? You shouldn't call them if you know there's nothing serious, but if you are genuinely afraid that something is seriously wrong with you, or your loved one, you totally should call them. Unless you're American of course. American Healthcare would probably leave you wishing you were dead anyway.
Also you totally can die from the cold by the way. So even if you know it's "just a cold" you totally should call an ambulance if your temperature rises too high and won't drop no matter what you do. Or go to the ER, or what is the American way of dealing with potentially life threatening situations regarding one's health that does not involve going into debt?
@@LunaBari right, but what if someone is not exactly healthy, but decides to not call an ambulance because "it's just cold" and then dies from complications caused by their other illness?

Speaking as a retired Pediatrician, permit me to clarify the difference between Heart Attack and Sudden Cardiac Arrest … I know People often use these terms interchangeably, but they're not the same. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem.

The NHS is a really good service, if you call an ambulance in my country they get legit cranky if it turns out you have a simple bug.

Sounds like a typical case of angina but length of duration tells that he is actively having a heart attack. Stents are a wonderful method of of opening narrowing in any vessel.

Was this video named patient goes into cardiac arrest on way to hospital? I could have sworn it was
I thought the same thing!
There are comments that say that it is clickbait.. so I guess it once was and they changed it because it was no arrest.
