I totally agree about how broken the health care system is. I took my 87 year old mother in law to the ER and waited 36 hours for her to be seen. That only happened because I started screaming my dog is treated better than my MIL. And they should be ashamed. There isn’t enough staff and it is a shame. The nurses who were there were wonderful and very tired. So very sad.
A big problem is that people use the ER for non emergencies! ie Abdomen pain for 2 months, sore throat for 1 day. They clog up the er for people who have real emergencies!
Oh my goodness!!😲😲😲😲😲
I don't believe it was 36 hours, honestly!!
Welcome to clown world. Your dog is and will be treated better than you and your family. That's all folks!
36 hours?
Hi Tessie, I'm a medical professional. It would be best to throw out the nuts to be safe. It might be something other than shell. You did the right thing. If the pain returns or you run a fever get in w/your PCP & have an MRI done. Yes, eat lightly but keep hydrated..maybe soup broth. In a few days you most likely will feel better. Watch your urine & stools to make sure it's normal colored. Look up natural substances that are very helpful & effective for taking whole body inflammation down. Yes, everything medicine is so drastically & horribly broken & we all have to do our best to help the most frail & vulnerable around us. Prayers for you, prayers for all. & God Bless you. 🙏💗
@Dawn-zg6gc- Yes I agree. I have had 3 MRIs in the past 11 months. First was to ID that my gall bladder needed to come out. The other two were for my liver. My inflamed gall bladder gave me acute pancreatitis and hepatitis. I'm on a very strict diet that restricts fats, red meat, processed foods, etc. It has helped me a lot. I eat walnuts in moderation, but shelled. And definitely no popcorn!
I was worried about a perforated bowel.
@@Myfavorites877If it were that she would start to run a fever.. & possibly have GI upset or changes in bowels etc . My suggestion, to be safe and to avoid any worry, would be for Tessie to followup with her PCP who could rule out any potential problem. They might do bloodwork or do an MRI only if further symptoms warranted it. It sounds like Tessie is feeling better but I just felt it necessary for her to have guidelines which the ER had already hopefully given to her.
My go to as much as I hate, is store canned beets. At the top of the list for cleaning out toxins from the body. Other foods also, can find these foods online easily. Beets also athletes use to regulate pH levels. Gatorade and Pedialyte also. Have these on standby for flu's and colds. Ice cold Sprite from my childhood. Beets in my humble opinion cleans our toxins and could prevent blood poisoning. Just some unsolicited advice I hope maybe a bit helpful.
@@Dawn-zg6gc My sister had a perforated bowel. Was scary.
Tessie I am so glad you are alright. Rest and take care of yourself and hope you fully recover soon. You are absolutely right about the healthcare system. It is broken to the point that people are suffering just to get help.
Nurses are over worked and patients are left hurting,and in pain. It is so sad!😢
I couldn't agree more. Many of the systems in this country are broken now. I'm praying for you and the country.
It’s broken here in Canada too.
As an RN I understand the frustration. Everyday before work I pray I can be a positive advocate for my patients. I sometimes cry on the way home thinking I did the very best I could do, but how could I have done anything better? Many days I feel unappreciated. Nurses don't do their job for their health, but for yours. Tessie, I'm sorry for your experience.
As a mom of an RN, I give so much praise to the nurses that struggle to help as many patients as they can. We should all remember, a physician is one thing, but a great, knowledgeable nurse is something that we all need! Especially a doctor! Where would they be without a good nurse! Tessie, I am so glad you are feeling better! Sending you prayers.🙏🙏
tamaraameling8885 So thankful for the wonderful RN's like yourself out there, we need you so much!😘
I always try to thank the hospital staff, not just the nurses, everyone. I almost made a CNA cry because I told her I appreciated everything she had done for my husband. God bless you for all you do.
Tessie, alot of hospitals ate short staffed, very short shaffed.So waits are long at times, and nurses are over worked, with not enough pay. THEY ARE A SPECIAL BREED, and appreciated.. Thank You nurses
Hugs to you
Two years ago, I was sent to the ER by an urgent care clinic. I was severely dehydrated and had diabetic ketoacidosis. There's a long story of the nightmare that happened, but this is just the summary. I was in the waiting room for 16 hours even though I was sent by another facility. Within minutes of finally being taken back, I lost consciousness, coded and almost died because of the delay in receiving treatment. My organs failing, brain swelling, I was in a coma. I spent a week in CCU. I have permanent damage from that experience. My heart has AFib now and my coordination/balance is ruined.
I do not blame the doctors and nurses that treated me. I blame the hospital corporations for not hiring enough staff. They had empty beds but not enough nurses to fill them. Hospital beds sit empty while sick patients are literally dying because of the long wait and delay of care.
Like you, I saw many other very sick patients also waiting. Many left without being seen in hopes that another local ER could see them sooner. I am terrified of ever going back.
How terrifying, I am so sorry this happened to you.
I want to cry reading this. Finally someone in the general public gets this! Most people lash out at staff, sometimes physically, for the shortages and lack of resources. No one seems to hold the administrators and upper corporate (who make millions annually) responsible for the decisions and actions that are resulting in this!
@@GW-gz8jh It wasn't easy to understand this while sitting in the waiting room. I have zero memory of what happened after I went back, but my family saw everything. My son told me that the nurses were doing their best, and when I coded everyone came running. Which saved my life, but I know that all the extra people needed to help me...they were also needed for their other patients who were then being neglected.
It was even worse when I was admitted. After I left CCU(which seemed well staffed), I went to a step down unit. That was a nightmare. OMG. Nightmare. It became clear that there simply wasn't enough nurses and aides to help. That's where I saw the empty beds and asked about them. They said that they didn't have enough people to handle the occupied beds. They couldn't open any more without more nurses.
I had no choice but to get myself to the bathroom even though I wasn't allowed to get up unassisted. I peed the bed after waiting two hours after pushing the call button and nobody came. This happened more than once so I just stopped pushing the button and got myself up despite my orders. They never even knew I was doing that.
I could hear them working in other rooms. They were busy caring for patients. If I had seen them sitting around the nurses station or joking in the halls, it would be different. They were doing their best. And the fatigue was evident in their faces when they did come in to change my IV, give my insulin or draw blood.
Yes, I am angry at the administrations. My heart goes out to all the nurses who are being run into the ground. They chose a profession to help people but their bosses don't let them do that properly.
Ketoacidosis is so horrible and painful. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and went into it ... BG over 750. Was screaming and crying in the ICU until I passed out.
You poor thing! My grandson at age 14 experienced this too. ICU for 3 days. We found out he had Type1 diabetes. The experience was horrifying. Bless you. Hugs❤
Thanks for sharing, Tessie. I’m thankful you’re OK. I want to let you and your followers know about a prepping book called “Where There is No Doctor”. Missionaries use it in remote places so they can quickly reference what to do for sickness & injury. Amazon sells it and it’s a good resource to have in these troubling times. Take good care, Linda❤
@@forgivenatcalvary I have this great book! Highly recommend as well. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this🥰
I will check that out thank you!!
Glad you’re doing a little bit better and thank you for speaking up for the elderly people, they are so left out 😢♥️
Its so true Tessie, we all need to have medical books on hand,and stock up our first aid kits with everything from bandaids to a tourniquet, and everything in between. Sad to say but when a big disaster strikes, people are going to be on their own, because the system is overstressed already.
Prayers for your continued healing. Its good to see you..take time to heal. 🙏❤😴
Experienced this with my daughter- the wait, the dismissive attitude due to lack of staff, and then a $1,700.00 bill after ins. After 8hrs in the ER she was sent home with, "Your surgeon doesn't want to admit you (via phone) and we can't give you anymore pain meds without admitting you. Sorry." I brought her home still spitting up blood & in so much pain she eventually became delirious & passed out. I called a family friend who is a Nurse Practioner for help at dawn. God Bless him. He was a life saver. Came right over.
Thanks to your NP friend for caring and coming.
I'm so glad you're feeling better!
I am glad you are ok, Tessie! Praying for you!!
I am so sorry you went through that. I'm so happy you are healing. So horrific that elders in pain are waiting 12 hours.
Yes! My husband was taken to the ER by ambulance for suspected heart attack. They left him in the waiting room for 10 hours!!!!! Unbelievable! It's a broken system, for sure!
That’s just crazy. Unacceptable.
@@cathyann6835 I've seen it happen many times. I once got on my knees and prayed while a family member vomited blood.
I'm in the UK and 5yrs ago I had a heart attack, within 10minutes the ambulance arrived they wired me up and confirmed that yes it was a heart attack, one of the paramedics got my case ready, turned off all of my lamps and made sure my house was secured. I was blue lighted to the best trauma hospital in the next county, taken straight to the cardiac ward and within the minutes of arriving I was in theatre having a stent out in! I was in hospital for four days. It didn't cost me a penny. I thank God all the time for the NHS.
That's impossible!!
@@KathyBarnett-mv5vg Yes! I've seen a show about the medical treatment in the UK. What phenomenal care you have there!! State of art and best of the best physicians. I'm glad you are doing well.
Tessie!! I’m so sorry this happened to you ♥️ I pray God’s touch on your body and heal you wholly and completely.
I tripped and fell and hit my head very hard this past June. I knew I had a concussion but didn’t want to go to the ER because I knew it was terrible there. I am elderly, but I chose to recover or not at home. I do have a lot of medical knowledge and God is my guide. You are wise to study up on the basics to be able to access a situation. Pleased to hear you are recovering ❣️
We all will have the need to pray, and wait and pray some more.
Tough time are ahead for America,and the world.❤ Love you sis 🤗🤗😗
You are correct, our healthcare system is completely broken along with our health insurance. This is happening worldwide, whether it’s insurance or government based.
i understand what you are saying. I live in Canada and our system is broken too like many other places.
Not comparable to Europe. Troubles are in all man made systems, but not like in the US, sorry.
no, its definitely not worldwide. I'm in central Europe and our health system is almost free and you're seen a lot faster in the ER. If you're very unlucky and there are many people in the ER before you the maximum wait is 1 hour.
It’s everywhere. They want us gone. They being The Hierarchy Ruling You. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled. I hope you know Jesus ❤
Hmmmm. What is happening worldwide ? Could it be an active pandemic we are choosing to ignore? I wonder if that will have consequences?
You are 100% correct,and it’s everywhere..
You can’t call your dr and get an appointment anymore..
You have to fight to see a dr …😊😊
Bless you sister , prayers🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Wow, I am so glad you are doing better, Tessie! I am amazed at the long wait everyone had! We are in rural Ohio. And there are a few hospitals in two different counties that we have used, and never had to wait a long time! Consider us blessed. How different it is in certain areas. Take care, friend.
As a nurse what your saying is true ! I had surgery and still ended up helping patients there is not enough people …. No one wants tow work anymore
@@aubreesummerhays2616 just be careful. I’m a nurse too. But I no longer work because I pushed myself too much. Injury, more than once, took a toll on me. My shoulders are shot. My back will go out just sitting or just standing up; no rhyme or reason. My feet had collapsed. I still kept my license because I worked hard for it. Graduated in 1994. Some of the new people that are just starting are scary. (Not all). If you push yourself too hard and can’t do it anymore, nobody cares. I struggle just to keep up at home now. I’m afraid to get medical help if something comes up, because I know how much staff is under pressure. Scary times.
We have many (literally hundreds of thousands) nurses in our country Absolutely unwilling to work in dangerous , under-supported, underpaid and demeaning situations.
Plus , don't forget those of us that were pushed out of the the Healthcare system, when we refused to get the Jab. I was an RN for 30 years and was forced to retire.
I am so disgusted with the Healthcare system that I did not renew my license last year.
@@churchofpos2279 I kept my license because 1) I worked really hard for it. I was raising a family the same time I went through college. And 2) in case I ever did something alternative health wise and having my license would help. So far, I’m still struggling to get body from “going out” on me. I do alternative health on myself and have improved.
Praying you are better soon. Being a nurse myself, nurses are leaving health care because they are treated horrible. More and more are leaving. It is only going to get worse
God bless you.
yes, RN here 21 years. I work homecare because hospitals are too much for me. So burnt out.
I worked at a hospital NICU and got paid to basically do nothing. I watched older RNs whine and complain about how "hard they worked" but we did NOTHING all day. Most just sat on their phones and personal laptops or gossiped. It was unbelievable. Maybe in the ER they are busy. But wow, nurses in the NICU are delusional and they bully younger, prettier nurses. And they constantly ridicule and trash talk all the patients and their families. Ive seen garbage men work ten times as hard
Thank you for sharing tessie! Praying for you! 💕
Oh my! Feel better, soon, Tessie.
I'm happy your better! God Bless Sister!
Glad you are doing better. We have to be our own advocate.
You have hit the nail on the head. Everyone absolutely need to have medical supplies, even items they can't use but maybe someone at church or in their circle can use. I have a medical person in the family and have been urged about the things to have (suture kit, antibiotics, pain meds, burn meds, eye washes, bandages etc.) Afraid it is going to get much worse before it gets better.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Here in Canada, we have free health care paid by taxes. Waiting up to 12 hrs is normal here for the past 20 plus years.
Fasting sounds good for a couple of days while you're healing.
😌 ❤
Paid by taxes means it is not free.
I’m here in Canada and it’s BAD. I pay my taxes and am a Canadian citizen but I have no doctor or any way to get bloodwork to keep up on my health. I am not alone.
@kittyrichards9915 I would not want the upfront cost for medical expenses.
I'm so glad you are doing better. Sending prayers!
I have seen how hospitals treat elderly as if they are dispensable. It is truly the saddest thing ever.
I'm sorry that happened to you but I'm glad that everything turned out okay.
You are right about healthcare. My husband had surgery on the side of his head . In afternoon he started bleeding - he bleed through 2 pillows. We went to the ER. We were there 16 1 /2 hours. nurses had to bandaged him 3 times. I overhead a nurse talking to another nurse say " he needs to go back meaning in the ER room but they won't let him." We finally left the hospital (which the staff didn't want us to leave ) because they could not give us definite time he could be seen. When we got home I called our doctor who said to bring him into the office. He was treated for a blood clog that had broken loose. We were both so tired - no sleep, no water , no food. All I could say was "Welcome to Socialism !"
Hello. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Thank God you are ok. Don't understand swelling of liver as it's not part of colon. Just take good care, rest and make sure you stay hydrated. Blessings!
that was a stumper for me also.
Ohhhhh Tessie. So glad you are ok. Please rest up and look after yourself. Take care. As always ur friend from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. XO
Glad your on the mend and resting ❤
So glad everything is ok. Glad it didn’t end up in your lungs. I had a friend go through something similar and it is excruciating. The ER here in California can take hours to be seen. Shortages of drs and nurses. So so grateful you are in recovery❤
Prayers for you to be restored to perfect health.
Tessie, I know what you are talking about. The last time I took my daughter to ER we were there for hours on end and never got a room. We were sent back to waiting room and they came and got her for a CT scan & then brought her back to me in waiting room where we waited forever again. Then the Dr came to waiting room where everyone was to see about her out there. No personal space. It was crazy.
I am so glad you are ok ❤ It is so sad the Healthcare System is the way it is.
Continued prayers, Tessie♥️
I am glad you’re feeling better. Tessie ❤
Trauma takes a while praying sister your full recovery such eye opener
My prayers are with you.
Praying for your continued recovery Tessie. Thank God His hand was on you and, that you'll heal in time. 🙏🏻
❤🙏🏻💞🙏🏻❤
Well Tessie! I think you'd better get yourself a nutcracker! Glad you're feeling better. I'll be saying a prayer for you!
Praying for you Tessie
So sorry you went through this Tessie our health care system has crashed no one has stepped up since Covid we lost a lot of good health care providers because of it prayers to you honey
Glad you're feeling better. We hear about long waits at the hospitals all the time, like around 12 hours. My sister's mother in law had an issue with her colon, and she was there with her 82 year old husband for 12 hours, and she is 80. It's terrible what's going on. Like you said, it's like third world country status here. So glad you're not in any pain. That sounds terrible.
I agree with the current state of the healthcare system. I retired after over 30 yrs in healthcare. I first experienced the lingering effects of the Covid mess hospitals put in place when my son was a patient for couple days after a minor procedure. This was in 2022. My mom and sister were in a car accident last yr and I was shocked at the trauma care and ICU care that was being given. I never let anyone know I am a nurse, I just sit back and watch and boy was I mad throughout that stay. Sadly my mom didnt make it, so this Nov will be a yr since she passed, and now is the time I am writing a letter to the hospital to let them know all the breakdowns in her care.
Oh, Tessie! Healing thoughts and prayers coming your way! 💐❤️
I'm so sorry all this happened. Especially with the way the health system the way it is these days. I'm glad you are recovering nicely. Take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings to you and everyone here.😊❤
GOD Bless Kimberly,
Andrea😊
It's SO Wonderful To See You Home Tessie And Able To Talk To Us My Friend 😊,
You Have Been Through A Great Deal-- Please Take Time To Rest. Continuing To Pray For You Tessie🙏
GOD Bless You And Kenny,
Andrea
I am glad you are feeling better, Hugs
Oh Tessie. I am so sorry this is happening to you. Praying for a speedy recovery. I know you try to be prepared for anything but sometimes stupid things just happen. Please take this time to rest and heal......blessings.
Hello everyone. :)
Thankful you're ok, Tessie. I agree; our healthcare system is broken. So many people I know have gone to doctors, including specialists, and gotten substandard care-even having their concerns and obvious signs of illness dismissed. I've always had to be CPR certified for work, but learning other skills and being prepared with supplies is an excellent plan. Rest and get well. ❤
Oh goodness, Tessie! Heal quickly! God bless, dearheart. Broken system??? You got that right. 😢
❤good to see you up!!
Hospitals are the very last place any one wants to be😐 so glad you are okay and i hope you continue to heal...god bless tessie
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers Tessie🙏🏼
I'm happy to hear you're doing better
Interesting since the digestive tract doesn't go through the liver. But, I guess the pain in the stomach could refer to the liver.
Praying for you Tessie💗 love you
I'm glad you're okay.❤
glad you are starting to feel better. Take care
Our ER is the same here where we live western Michigan. It’s very sad n crazy pray you get better fast dear . Love n hugs 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗 ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Too many people are treating the er for the wrong reasons. Some don’t have primary doctors or healthcare so they go to the er.
Well if your Dr's office is closed .....you have to go to ER
And no Dr will take on a new patient as an emergency .
When you are having excruciating pain they tell us go to
EMERGENCY.
Prayers
I’m glad you’re feeling better. Sending prayers your way.
Praying for you!
Who Loves Tessie Time :-)
Always ❤
Love Tessie time always❤❤❤
Yes I do!
Of course!
Of course. ❤
Tessie so sorry this happened to you. Yes I seen for myself how broken our health system is especially in ER. Not enough nurses and yes I’ve waited 10 hours just to be seen just awful. My daughter is a nurse in ICU in Boston and she sees a lot!! God Bless the workers but they really should do something about ER and wait time!! Get better and rest.
You're right - the healthcare system is broken. I'm glad you're okay, Tessie! Take it easy, sweetie.
Glad your getting better
So glad you are on the mend. Praying for you.
Continuing prayers 🙏
That is terrible! Last night I went to the ER in terrible pain. I thought it was trapped gas but ended up being my gallbladder. The PA and nurse were very nice. I got really good care. I have apt. With surgeon next week. This was in St. George Utah.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am glad you are ok. The hospitals here in Canada is the same.
So glad your ok my friend
Good evening to you Tessie❤😊 so happy you're getting better Sis❤
Good Evening Forever Lovely 😊
Thankful your feeling better! Love your videos
Isn't that something Tessie that a little thing like that can cause so much pain just goes to show you that each day and each hour is so precious
prayers for you
Praying for your complete healing, Tessie. Much love. X0
Praying for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏 Healing and peace. ❤
I'm so glad you are feeling better, Tessie.
So glad you're recovering and feeling stronger.
✨ I hope that you're "Back To Good Health" very soon, Tessie.✨
Thank you for sharing with us...letting us know what is/letting us know what did happen to you.
___________________
Regarding the current medical care system, I am in complete agreement with you.
Sweetie, I am so thankful you are ok. You are such a compassionate person to care so much for the others in the O.R.
It's been this way for decades. In the 90's a trip to the ER we didn't see a doctor for nearly 16 hours and ended up with an emergency surgery. In the early 2000's several trips to the emergency room for different family members, different hospitals, different cities and the same situation. I haven't seen any improvement as far as wait time in emergency. One thing that does remain the same....the nurses are there for us, and they are worked hard and they always have been. Glad you are on the mend.😀
Praying for you sister Tessy so sad
Sobering... meanwhile in lovely Canada... earlier this year I waited 3 days and 2 full nights sitting in a chair (eventually moved to a reclining chair... too kind.) in a full Emergency room, with EXTREME pain... pancreatitis, which led to 3 surgeries for gallbladder removal and 2 revisions. I am now on a 21 day fast, and am going to do everything in my power to be as healthy as possible... I never want to relive that nightmare. True story, as God is my witness. Welcome to Chinada.
I am so sorry you’re going through this. You really need to take it easy. Blessings to you and your family. Tx
Miss Tessie 😢 sorry to hear about your ordeal. Glad you didn't have to have surgery. 🙏 Stay strong, eat soft food, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat, bananas .❤
I'm so glad you're doing better, Tessie. I recommend this book: When the Village Has No Doctor. It tells you how to do everything; how to set bones, do stitches, treat all sorts of ailments. It is also illustrated which is great. I bought it because there may come a time when healers such as us will be a valuable necessity to our neighbors. ❤
I hope they did an X-ray or mri.
