This story really breaks my heart. I lost my mother to hyperthermia when she was 72. Our elderly needs to be protected. That hospital should never had that woman going to sit in a car in the heat. That’s dangerous at any age but even more for the elderly and young children. Rest In Peace to this sweet woman ❤️
This pandemic is supposedly over so this *should* change. Too bad he had to lose his beautiful wife to instill change. Condolences to David and family. 🙏🕊🕊🙏
This breaks my heart; what is wrong with people today!!! I am SO sorry; it’s inexcusable! Your wife was a beautiful person and SO are you. Common sense and decency should be used; I’m sick of hearing about policies when you all forced her to stay outside in the heat. Act like a caring person and not a robot!!!! Prayers and love to you and your family❤️🙏🏽🙏
This guy is wrong at the VA hospital. The person at the door instead of turning her away should call their supervisor or management to ask for exception for her to at least wait in the lobby of the hospital so she won’t have to wait in the car. No, excuse, she didn’t have to die. Sooo heartbreaking ❤️🩹!!!!
Some people in the healthcare industry in 🇺🇸 are heartless and terrifying! I’m speaking as a Registered Nurse! I’ve seen people turfed out of the hospital onto the sidewalk because they did not have insurance or the insurance has run out
Mrs. Lear did not deserve to die like that. This should not have happened. More than 50 yrs she was by her husband's side only to be treated like a non-factor who was in the way. While their actions may not have been outright malicious their attitudes were atrocious & indifferent. That's not how you treat the wife of U.S. Veteran and certainly not an elderly woman. The VA needs to recognize & respect the roles wives play in not just their husband's careers but their after-care beyond active duty. Without their wives many would be far worse off so please VA administration & medical staff RESPECT the wives of your veterans. I'm so tired of hearing about trifling deaths connected to inadequate, trifling & often indifferent maltreatment of our veterans at the hands of the VA hospital. Many of their policies do more harm than good to the veteran and by extension, their wives. My sincerest condolences to Mr. Lear on his loss. May God be his strength throughout.
This is so true I’ve been married 36 years and my husband entire military career. Why do they forget all the sacrifices We have made to be a retired Veteran.
@@poollife777first of all you have to be in the military 6 months to be considered a veteran second of all just because you don't go to war doesn't mean you're any less of a vet some military people work 12-16 hours a day!!!!!
Once you meet her you couldn't forget her . Absolutely the sweetest words spoken about your Spouse. I bet this nice man has many stories about their life. God Bless him 🙏
Spouses support the soldier, sometimes throughout their entire career, but we don't get the respect or consideration for all we've ALSO sacrificed. I am so sorry for your loss. Her loss is not in vain, but unfortunately, it's through your loss some changes have come. I pray for your strength as you journey through losing your wife and life partner. I too was turned away and many others during the pandemic and waited in the car in Texas heat. I will be more attentive to cars in VA parking lots from now on. I will make demands and draw attention to anything that can ve done differently while we wait. May you experience peace for this leg of your journey without her. 🙏🏽
THANK YOU for your Service. With all of the money that VA why didn't they have an emergency contingency plan in place?? Why not build air-conditioned tents for family/spouses?? A special space in the lobby? This should have NEVER happened, especially at a hospital for Veterans and to the spouse of a US Veteran!!! No excuses. .
This spring, 2022, I went to the ER with my husband in AZ. I was told to wait in the car, because of the risk of covid. It was a hot day. Fortunately, I did not succumb to the conditions of that day. However, this practice was still going on at that time. Utterlly dispicable to treat the public in this way. She's so lovely. May she RIP.

Lol she died in the car it was her own fault. It’s sad she died for sure but come on you know to not stay in a hot car over 90 it was 110. She was in her 70s and couldn’t drive somewhere down the street? At certain point once you feel like your gonna pass out from the heat you make the call to change the situation. She was not locked in the car like a kid or animal she had options.
That’s how I saw it, she’s not a baby or a dog. By the age of 70, she should've known better to go where it’s cooler. Or just sit or stand outside of the car. The air outside of the car would have been a lot better then inside the car.

Oh what a horribly sad situation. I'm so sorry to read this and my prayers go out to this fine gentleman and his family. A lifetime of love for sure, I hope you can heal this hurt with her rememberance and love.
This is so sad and could've easily been prevented had the new policy been implemented prior especially considering two major factors it was his elderly WIFE, and the outside temperature a waiting area should've been offered to her even if it meant waiting in their chapel or cafeteria period.

"I understand with COVID trying to be safe.." Safe? There was nothing "safe" about this. Perfect example of unethical, unscientific BS COVID policy doing more harm than good.
So sorry for your loss. My husband retired Army and We have been married only 36 years . But I know what it is to spend time with my husband and wanting to be there at all VA appointments . As the spouse We spent numerous hours waiting in the car . I’m sorry she’s no longer with her family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful looking woman , if that was her singing she had a beautiful voice also . May God be with you during your time of sorrow and everyday after .
I'm sorry for your terrible tragic loss , may your dear wife rest in peace , I hope you will take care of yourself as your wife would wish.god bless you both xx
Covid policies, I couldn’t visit my dad in the nursing home until he was put onto life support. Can’t spend time with them while they are alive, but alls well and good when they are passing or already passed
So heartbreaking. I'm so very sorry for your loss, sir. Heartfelt condolences to you & your family. I know you'll see her again. And you'll both be joyous, healthy & free. God bless you. 😢💔
You can’t blame the hospital. She was old enough to known better to get out of the car, if it was too hot. It’s not like she was a baby, who couldn’t get out. I’m sorry that she died but again it was only her fault.
I Wife damn near froze in VA parking lot in January during the cold and days. She’s 70 and won’t create a ruckus. This was the fourth time the VA pulled this. VA gives power to Small mind people and they abuse the power.
My brother had Parkinson’s in 2020. We weren’t able to see him for over a year. His voice was too weak to hear over the phone. We relied on updates from his hospital. When we were finally allowed back into the hospital to visit him…… My brother who was 6’8” was absolutely skin and bones. We walked in around breakfast time. There was a tray of food in front of him teasingly close. Because of the severity of his Parkinson’s he was too shaky to feed himself. He had a bottle of Ensure with a straw in it he was sipping from. My sister fed him the whole tray of food,he ate every bite!!! It took about 20 to 25 minutes to feed him. Sadly he never recovered. My brother was allowed to starve to death during Covid!!!!! Because of Covid restrictions ridiculous restrictions!!!! I HOPE TO GOD AMERICANS NEVER ALLOW OUR GOVERNMENT TO OWN US LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!!!!!
How would they know she wouldn’t turn on the car for ac? They CANT! So it’s her fault only not theirs. I'm sorry that she had died. But again it wasn’t nobody’s fault but hers.
Oh my goodness!! I'm heart broken for this beautiful couple!! Please know that your loss forever will remind me to never take the little things In life for granted!!!
Not malicious or reckless, but negligent. How the hell does a hospital let a person die in the parking lot? Suing won't bring her back, but it would send a message.
She’s old enough to know to turn on the ac or go outside of the car. It’s NOT the Hospital fault but hers! Sorry but that’s the truth. She wasn’t a baby who could get out.
STFU! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT Lady WAS GOING THRU! AFTER BEING TOLD THAT SHE COULDN'T BE WITH HER HUSBAND! YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ANY FEELINGS ANYWAYS. MENTALLY OR PHYSICAL! GTHOH!
She’s not a baby who couldn’t get out. She’s was old enough to, turn on the car for ac. Or go outside of the car. The air outside was little bit cooler then was inside of the car.
I'm so sorry for your loss. The words "Rapid Response" will always haunt me for the rest of my life. The announcement I heard prior to losing my father. May you find peace and healing. 🙏
In a different country yet during strict COVID laws, I drove my mother-in-law to the hospital for an operation. I was refused entry. There was a food and coffee van set-up in the carpark for staff (or anyone), to come out to. There were no toilets at that stage. I went for a long walk looking for a bathroom but all the fast food shops were shut. I had to pee in the most covering bushes that I could find.
I was thinking the same, why didnt she go back home & wait for his call?..it was during COVID, everything was closed..I wish they had someone to drive the couple for medical appointments.
She had health problems and probably didn't have the strength to move anymore once she was in the car. Elderly only have so much energy. Plus, she was a loyal wife. Naturally, she wasn't going to go to far from her husband. Literally as close to his side as possible.
I’m sure if you felt like you were dying or couldn’t take the heat anymore. You’ would had gotten out of the car to find a place with ac. She was old enough to knew better then to stay in that car. Sorry but that’s the truth.
So Sorry for your loss Sir, I have waited also while my father would get transfusions. But if I got hot, I would go sit at the food places near that facility! An my Father would have 2 a month sometimes near the end of his life, and these transfusions take 7plus hours, an on the really hot days, I would just drop him off! I can't understand why his wife would just sit in the heat! The Valley is only so big an not far to drive to any location to get out of the heat, even home! She must have had many underlying conditions?! Once again, So sorry for the passing of your wife.
How is this anybody’s fault?? I’m sorry she died but she was in a vehicle and she could have turned the AC on… it’s tragic, don’t get me wrong. I feel for this man who lost his wife but this was just a tragic loss that is nobody’s fault.
I didn't get to pay my last goodbye to my dad when he died in 2021 because of Covid! I know how this poor old man feels about losing his wife. Nobody should be forced to suffer that way!
This is so sad, I wonder why she just didn't go home when she was getting hot or go to a restaurant near by or something. If she didn't want to drive maybe she could have gotten a cab. Something not quite right here.
This is heartbreaking. I understand there are policies in place to protect the patients and staff but they weren't told this prior or else she wouldn't have been there. Also with the above 100 degree temperature outside they should've let her sit in the cafeteria or a waiting area. That heat on the west coast is brutal, I wouldn't sit in a car even with it running. It's just not safe. Praying for his peace. RIP to his lovely wife.🙏🙏🕊🕊
People don’t understand that the Elderly have Temperature instability. They don’t tolerate excessive heat or cold. God be with you & preserve your faith.
They should never be so mean and messy. To me changing the policies on the same day is guilty 😔. I wonder why she just didn't go sit inside of a restaurant or something.
Heartbreaking. Common sense and compassion has been lost in this country, perhaps the world. It’s astounding what people will do and then say it is for your safety, even down to death.
I am sorry to hear this and my condolences to the family. I wonder if the hospital was aware that the wife would be waiting in the hot care? Covid has taken a toll on many families. Some of the covid rules in a hospital were horrible, but the rules now regarding covid seem to be better, even though covid is still around and is not going anywhere.
As horrible as this is … nothing can bring the woman back. I am happy that the VA immediately stepped up that day and implemented changes for the safety of future visitors.
Had a dog been left in the car, there would be more outrage. So sickening.
Dogs don't have husbands that can check on her and dogs can't drive themselves to a air-conditioned business to wait on her husband's call.

The VA should treat all veterans and their families with care, love and respect!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should've called a cab to take her home. You should have known the policy. Never let a older person stay in the car alone.
I would've went and sat in a cold McDonald's or somewhere and waited for his call....this is sad.
She had a limp and health issues…..she barely could drive but wanted to go with her husband
Except McDonald’s was closed during the COVID 19 lockdown. Remember?
I was thinking the same, why didnt she go back home & wait for his call?..it was during COVID, everything was closed..I wish they had someone to drive the couple for medical appointments.
She had health problems and probably didn't have the strength to move anymore once she was in the car. Elderly only have so much energy.
Plus, she was a loyal wife. Naturally, she wasn't going to go to far from her husband. Literally as close to his side as possible.
Maybe find a shade tree? where I live fast food was open deemed essential..@@germanshepherd6638
This could have happened to me at the VA in Atlanta. I had to sit in the car on an extremely hot day while he got hours of infusion. I'm crying 😢
I’m sure if you felt like you were dying or couldn’t take the heat anymore. You’ would had gotten out of the car to find a place with ac. She was old enough to knew better then to stay in that car. Sorry but that’s the truth.
That's her own fault. Anyone would have gotten out of the car before dying. This is nobodies fault but hers.
My deepest condolences to all victims family involved.🙏.
My prayers go out to you my brother,nothing will replace what you have lost
WHAT A SHAME!
RIP!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
STAYING IN A NON RUNNING CAR AT 110° IS ABSURD GAS OR NO GAS?
😳
So Sorry for your loss Sir, I have waited also while my father would get transfusions. But if I got hot, I would go sit at the food places near that facility!
An my Father would have 2 a month sometimes near the end of his life, and these transfusions take 7plus hours, an on the really hot days, I would just drop him off!
I can't understand why his wife would just sit in the heat! The Valley is only so big an not far to drive to any location to get out of the heat, even home!
She must have had many underlying conditions?!
Once again, So sorry for the passing of your wife.
I'm sorry, u had a long wonderful life with your wife, u are in my prayers, she was a beautiful woman. We are all thinking of you .
How is this anybody’s fault?? I’m sorry she died but she was in a vehicle and she could have turned the AC on… it’s tragic, don’t get me wrong. I feel for this man who lost his wife but this was just a tragic loss that is nobody’s fault.
I didn't get to pay my last goodbye to my dad when he died in 2021 because of Covid! I know how this poor old man feels about losing his wife. Nobody should be forced to suffer that way!
I swear its some low down people in the fucked up world😥😥😥😥😞
Did the hospital not have a waiting area?
This is so sad, I wonder why she just didn't go home when she was getting hot or go to a restaurant near by or something. If she didn't want to drive maybe she could have gotten a cab. Something not quite right here.
This is heartbreaking. I understand there are policies in place to protect the patients and staff but they weren't told this prior or else she wouldn't have been there. Also with the above 100 degree temperature outside they should've let her sit in the cafeteria or a waiting area. That heat on the west coast is brutal, I wouldn't sit in a car even with it running. It's just not safe. Praying for his peace. RIP to his lovely wife.🙏🙏🕊🕊
People don’t understand that the Elderly have Temperature instability. They don’t tolerate excessive heat or cold. God be with you & preserve your faith.
They should never be so mean and messy. To me changing the policies on the same day is guilty 😔. I wonder why she just didn't go sit inside of a restaurant or something.
She went out there with no water??? Why was she going out there for? Was she feeling sick herself??hypothermia???
Yup, I live in AZ. Cars get HOT, babies and dogs arent the only ones you need to be aware of. Your mom, yourself, husband.... Be safe and RIP ma'am
I’m so sorry for your loss!
I don't really get why this isn't her fault: did she think she could wait outside in a hot car?
Heartbreaking. Common sense and compassion has been lost in this country, perhaps the world. It’s astounding what people will do and then say it is for your safety, even down to death.
I would never be able to let this go. Everyone working in that hospital would get it.
She's waiting in heaven for him now 🙏
Bless his heart..That was uncalled for..God bless him
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
My condolences. 🙏
Sad but how is va responsible?????
Who does that leave your loved ones sitting in a hot car. Hospital supposed to be a place for caring and showing love 💕 I can tell he really miss her
Condolences 🙏 ☹️ to the family, but please FILE A Lawsuit, I hope you've started the process, God bless you
so sorry for your loss.
This makes me upset. I can’t watch this! God watch over are elderly please! 😭😇
I'm so sorry sir for your loss, I will pray for you.
Hindsight is worth at ton but they said she couldn't come in, they didn't say she had to go set in the car.
Beautiful.women ❤️ I'm so sorry, prayers and 💕😘
I am sorry to hear this and my condolences to the family. I wonder if the hospital was aware that the wife would be waiting in the hot care? Covid has taken a toll on many families. Some of the covid rules in a hospital were horrible, but the rules now regarding covid seem to be better, even though covid is still around and is not going anywhere.
My deepest condolences to her family 😞
This is horrific!
God may her soul be at peace 🙏🏼
So why didn't she have the A/C on ?????
As horrible as this is … nothing can bring the woman back. I am happy that the VA immediately stepped up that day and implemented changes for the safety of future visitors.
Yeah they stepped up because they had to do damage control plain and simple!
I sure as hell hope he sues the holy crap out of them!
