Search it out and see AMERICAN HOSPITALS HAVE shut down labor and delivery for not being profitable burn 🔥 units for next for not being profitable and now pediatrics? Shut them down they say -not profitable. I guess they put a price tag on our heads maybe they can tattoo the barcode on mine to see if I get it or not!!!
@user-zp6ff2gr4n That's an overused question that solves nothing, and only distracts from trying to find real solutions. My purpose in responding was to agree that healthcare is more a business than service & humans shouldn't be treated like garbage.
@@karalynne7616There's no excuse to treat another human being this way. Here in CA you pay taxes up the ass so everyone is covered regardless of your housing status or drug usage.
Pretty sure it's litteraly 1st world healthcare. Watch as we let all the homeless people live inside the hospitals "wE aRe OvER CrOWdED" fucking idiots
I’m a retired RN and this is heartbreaking. I don’t care what excuses the hospitals give. They dumped a sick old lady in a soiled gown on the sidewalk in cold weather with just a thin hospital blanket, and they didn’t even cover her properly. This is evil. None of us know what the situation will be at the end of our life. If it happened to these people it could happen to us too.
I'm a RN still working this is horrible I've never seen such they couldn't place her in a nursing home this is beyond sad and disturbing left her like trash on a,sidewalk a human being in a hospital gown not even properly dressed who ordered this and allowed it just horrible 😢
You don't know that she was a sick old lady. She's probably homeless, and feeble no doubt. But that doesn't make a hospital a homeless shelter. They have to leave and these people would rather not. The real question is why we can fund wars worth hundreds of billions of dollars but there's no affordable housing for desperate elderly people like this.
It happens, you can’t think it’s just this ONE hospital that does this. They try and make sure just don’t see it. It’s about greed and financial gains. Yes I know they have excuses as to why but well, you have eyes.
As an EMT I was doing a non emergency transport where a patient was being discharged out of a hospital and the destination to drop them off wasn't an address. All it said was red van and the name of the street it was on. This man was in his 80's and could barely stand let alone walk. We asked if he could be sent to a facility and due to lack of insurance there was nowhere for him to go and that we had to bring him there. We drove to this red van and it wasn't even a running vehicle. It was junk in someones yard. We contacted a shelter ourselves and filed a report with the state. Not sure what was done about it but I'll never forget how gut wrenching and heart breaking that situation was. Humanity deserves so much more. There should be more programs for the uninsured and homeless instead of just dumping them like garbage to get them out of the way. Its inhumane
Becuz yes! The ppl carrying out heinous orders ARE liable Don’t do wrong just becuz ur getting pd Do the right thing N shout the names of the perps LOUD
@@lorisalim4598Medicare does not pay for long term care. If the person had a qualifying diagnosis it would pay 80% of a rehabilitation stay for 90 days. That is it.
@@triciagrant2315That doesn't mean he couldn't have utilized the local shelter, or availed himself of the numerous social programs available to the indigent. OP even stated he sent a referral there. There is a large portion of the homeless that do not want help. OP: don't feel bad, it's likely your patient was one of these people. It is what it is, and there's not much anyone can do besides force him to change.
Oh, apparently people that can't pay are putting a strain on the medical system and it's costs. In other words they can't afford to treat you if you're homeless or don't have insurance. They will die on the streets and this is the good old USA.
Seeing that elderly lady lying on the cold ground was heartbreaking. There's no way I could remain employed with a facility that assigns me to do this. I'm not shocked, though. The moral degradation in society is pervasive.
Stop reacting with your emotions, these people are sucking up all the resources of these hospitals. They expect to live at these hospitals and be treated like kings/queens. Most of these people are better off dead. They don’t contribute to anything, they only leech off of the system. The US healthcare system isn’t perfect (needs to be fixed), but these aren’t the people who need the help. Medical-needy people are complete leeches.
And it's going to get much worse! Not to mention treason and flooding the country with guns and assault weapons then staging a coup to overthrow the US government and still the GOP gets away with it!
@@alphacentauryWow they might not be hotel but they are supposed to care for the sick. That woman that couldn't breath needed help not to be dumped. If a jury even found them guilty of dumping then there is a problem. Sounds like you are pretty self centered mate. These are sick people.
@@anderfu8273 I just about do have the homeless in my living room. I live here in San Francisco, California, and we have homelessness on a level higher. I've never seen as many homeless people this bad since the 80s AIDS epidemic. People are literally dying on the street. Let's first address the old, "Well, San Francisco blah blah blah." Our situation is no difference from many cities and states are struggling with. I see it every day. Treat em with the same respect you'd treat anyone.
its not just hospitals, society as a whole hate poor broke people because they have nothing to give back, only take take take and most of the time at someone else's expense.
Really need the full story from both sides. So many family members do not want to take their family home, because they want to be free to go out, party, what ever. So we need to get the story from both sides first before making judgment.
We're failing as a society. Our elderly, veterans, our sick, and children...anyone who's vulnerable is being treated like garbage. People who are addicted, or mentally ill get kicked to the curb. People say, "why don't they get help? Why won't they get treatment?" When they try to they get put on the bottom of a long waiting list. It's as if they want to *discourage* them. We're failing at every turn. 😔
We are failing because the government is more concerned about protecting and promoting debauched, amoral, pedophiles and queers and mutilating children and adults for profit. Also. our president is corrupt and retarded.

That picture of that elderly lady on the ground and the other elderly lady that couldn't breathe is absolutely heartbreaking. Those "medical professionals " take an oath to do no harm. Disgusting.
It’s not the doctors and nurses, it’s the wealthy administrators-I could assure of you that-because if a celebrity were to stay there you’d see a completely different standard of care.
she was breathing fine, I didn't see any respiratory distress on camera. she probably went to the ER for a painkiller. I invite you to go to your local ER or shelter. I'm sure more than one will use your help. You don't need to take a oath to serve others, and in turn will help you digest that disgusting feeling you experiencing now. Blessings my friend!
Regardless of what the hospital does as a whole, doctors and nurses working at facilities engaged in patient dumping should permanently lose their licenses.
I'm a normally healthy senior citizen (70) who went to the ER. I was taken back and put in a tiny room packed with several other sick people for hours on horrible hard chairs lined up against each other around all 4 walls. I never saw a dr. A nurse walked through, talked to me but I wasn't treated. Then after hours of waiting I was told I had to leave. They walked me to the door and put me out on the hospital sidewalk in 100° heat and locked the door. I wasn't even allowed to use the bathroom 1st, not allowed to get anything to take with me to drink. I was very ill, dehydrated from severe diarrhea due to an intestinal infection. I told them I had no ride and asked to wait inside until my daughter could get there because of the heat. I was told no. It took my daughter 1/2 hr to come to get me so I sat in the hospital parking lot under a tree and waited in the horrible heat. I went for help elsewhere and was treated immediately. I have insurance. I own a home so thankfully not homeless and was able to get a ride. It's horrible how they treat the elderly that are homeless and all alone. Many are only homeless due to inflation or they have lost their loved ones and are unable to find affordable housing. Many other people are but one SS check away from being there. It breaks my heart to see how the homeless and elderly are being treated. I remember when medical personnel were doing the job because they cared about people. Sadly not many of them do anymore. It's frightening to be a senior knowing it's hard to get the care you need and it's only getting worse. I can't even imagine being sick, homeless and feeling hopeless because no one cares. They'd kept asking me me if I wanted to sign a DNR which was scary. They seem to push that now.
As a healthcare worker myself, I am disgusted and embarrassed at that facility’s conduct towards their patients! And they have the nerve to call themselves healthcare providers?!?! I’m going to share this video with some of my coworkers because this needs to be a public service announcement.
Thankyou this needs to be shared with all americans and more media need to walk the line and show what's really going on in america!! To many evil people in America now!! To fire someone who speaks out the truth!!! Barbaric security and hospital staff to let this happen in america!!
I am healthcare worker too, and can tell you that even the so-called nonprofit hospitals are all about money. And then have the nerve to say that they care....bad leadership!
@aeonsbeyond so you are expecting them to provide expensive care for free. Legally they are only required to provide life saving care. The problem is a for profit healthcare system. We don't have a healthcare system in the US for anyone who can't afford it.
No hospital can refuse anyone emergency medical care. If you can't pay the bill, they make a workable payment plan. It does not impact your credit score. That hospital needs to be sued.
I went to a hospital in Atlantic City with pneumonia, the doctor was trying to get me discharged and get me to leave . If it was not for a nurse who stood up and spoke up for me I probably would have died that night if I had been sent away , I got so bad that night I thought I was going to die . Imagine if I had been home alone. To Thant nurse my God bless you for speaking up when you knew a situation was not right , for being a courageous, righteous, just and a moral person. You saved a life that day you yourself made the difference.
Nurses and outside social service workers are very often the last line of advocacy for people in hospitals or in need of medical care. A travel nurse saved my wife from the results of a doctor's horribly botched hip surgery.
The nurses carry the heavy burden of health care. While being understaffed, underpaid and grossly overworked. And they still make it their business to advocate for patients. 😔
@@lamoinette23What?? Literally every nurse I know constantly and I mean constantly brags about their high pay. The overworked AND underpaid are the CNAs....those are the aides that do all of the dirty work for the nurses. They are underpaid.
Wtf didn't she pick him up then... if Simeon made to thr hospital then they can make it back home, if the person has no transportation then the hospitals call family thus the mother didn't care about her son... hospitals are not free hotels, how hard is that to understand
@@jaybelle1909she’s not able to care for him, she needed help and care herself. You’re expecting a person who needs to be given care to give care. That’s impossible. A person who needs a caregiver CANNOT BE a caregiver.
Years ago, I was passing a kidney stone and drove myself to the ER. When I got out of my car , I collapsed in the parking lot. Several hospital staff literally walked around me to get to the door of the ER. I lay on the pavement in absolute agony till a man came along and helped me get to the front desk - he was not a staff member, just a guy who was visiting someone.
I believe it. They all have the compassion of a gnat. I guess they're just so tired of seeing sick and complaining people, huh,? It's almost like if you can't get through the door yourself, too bad. It's pathetic!
@@DivineLightPaladinthe crazy thing is when you go to the orientation for the hospital job they always talk about helping the “poor” and healing them yet they dump them outside the hospital
@@henrymartin8997 We voted for this medicare system. It didn't get changed under Trump or BIden because this is what Americans want. So your hands aren't clean from this either.
After violently attacked, kicked in the head numerous times until unconscious and left in the woods for dead and survived; a hospital in Houston, TX is where I gained consciousness after 5 days unconscious...partial memory still; they kicked me to the curb outside because I didn't have insurance and they said they needed that bed for someone with insurance. This happened in 2005.
A friend was homeless. He had a heart defect. He was in Dallas,Tx. He was a vet. He was having heart pains so he went to the VA hospital in Dallas. They knew he was homeless. They told him that he was just looking for food and a warm bed. They demanded that he leave. They were rude and condescending. They set him an appointment later that week. He dropped dead on the street just a few days later. If they would have listened to him and checked it out, he would probably still be alive today. VA sucks.
Yeah and often times homeless people get more sick then anyone I think in some situations they are just looking for a warm bed but if your out in the element's for that long it can take a toll on you and sometimes they don't want to deal with them because some of those bed spaces are needed for people that just got shot. They also don't care if your a woman and some guy just beat the hell out of you as long as he wasn't strangling you or you didn't die. What's worse is some of these nurses were women you think they would have stepped up but if there's men controling the hospital sometimes they can't they have to consider the suspects reputation before your safety I really do hope they start holding some of these hospitals accountable because they hire the wrong people that have probably never been attacked before so of course there not going to care if someone gives you a concussion because it happened to you and not them.
Sad that 1st he was homeless then the staff denied him help as if the food the hospital patients eat are being bought by this staff members. Sad he died as a result of dumbfks at the hospital
That's beyond disgusting. As with our Vets they don't get the treatment they deserve. If you risk your life for your Country and come home, you should never have to worry about money again. A vet was sweeping floors at Walmart! Wtf! He should have been in his home, feet up and never have to work again. Our Government is imagine yours is similar they leave office never having to worry about money with the monies they will receive until they die. They do nothing useful, at least not for Canadians in Eastern Canada. They teach them things that they never get over. Then have to fight veteran affairs for what's rightfully theirs. So wrong. I've dated a wonderful man but the effects of what he saw and went through he needed isolation. My friend tells me things when he's drinking which is a lot because he's not able to cope with what he's reliving in his head. It's sad. Our governments need a rehaul of the laws and looking after the soldiers the elderly and single mothers and fathers who didn't expect to be raising little humans alone.
I am a clinical social worker (Masters degree in Social Work) who has worked in the hospital system for nearly two decades I can tell you that these stories are clear Medicare violations concerning unsafe discharge planning. As for the quote-unquote social worker at this facility I will be calling in the morning to speak to their social worker and if in fact this individual is an actual social worker I will be reporting to the licensing board and the NASW. There is no excuse for this behavior this is a culture problem within this facility and you can trace it probably from the top down I can tell you that unless they're lying totally in their documentation that a Medicare audit would likely cost them in the hundreds of thousands in fines, which I'd say they clearly deserve. To the Administration at this facility, I'd suggest ya'll start shifting that horrible unethical care model to a correct model or you'll be banned from accepting any federal funding and shit down soon after.
I am a retired RN. To say that I am shocked by this atrocity is an understatement. The CEO of that hospital, and all other hospital employees involved, need to face criminal charges. Paying out millions of dollars in judgments is, sadly, changing nothing. Criminal charges against all involved is necessary. If this does not happen, this will never end.
It's not at all shocking. This has been happening a long time... especially to people that don't have insurance to cover things, or people that they can't find secondary facilities for. I'm 35 and able to take care of myself, I just happen to need 4 weeks of IV vanco and meropenom. I've been clean for 3 years, I'm a compliant MAT patient and I still almost had to let them take my PICC line out and go home to die of sepsis essentially because there were no facilities that are willing to deal with MAT or the people that take it. Fortunately, I have a physician for a mother who knows my rights and lit up everyone who would answer a phone. Now, I'm otherwise healthy with a home to go to and and family to help me and they attempted to essentially abandon me and let me die at home...imagine that situation for someone whose mental health isn't being treated that's got nowhere to go, no idea what is and isn't allowed to happen to them, lacks the ability to stand up for themselves or even a phone to call a patient advocate or ombudsman, and has no family to fight. You shouldn't be shocked. Homeless people have been persona non grata since the beginning of our country, it's not a new concept and the healthcare system here has been corrupt and discriminatory since before I was born, before my mom became a doctor, so definitely while you were working in it 😒
Correct. The hospital needs to get closed down and the people in charge, prosecuted. I bet they collect medicare $ from the government. That is a big crime, besides being unethical. They are also FRAUDS !
judgments in some cases just tax payer dollars being redistributed … with the added inconvenience of civil court dates. But with no one being charged with negligence.
@@rebeccasteinke4357 thing is thats not how its done in most of the world. Even though there are delays with universal single payer systems this level of grose inhumanity would not be seen ever. If it did those involved would be charged immediately. All that money wasted to kill foreigners in foreign countries but no effort made to look after each other. A nation without propper priorities will crumble.
Lawyers of Louisville, I'm talking to you. This is your time to shine. Help those that have been "dumped," sue the crap out of this trash facility, please.

The hospital is supposed to help them with these things, shit for brains. Smh.
@batgirlp5561 clearly you weren't paying attention. She had health issues of her own and probably didn't have a lot of money. She eventually died bc of those health issues. You expect her to be able to take care of her son in a condition like that? You don't know her life or circumstances that led to her being unable to help him so don't be such a nasty person.

@@kjk4795is that why they charge 40$ for a single ibuprofen tablet?

Of course it’s free if you use the National healthcare system here in Greece.
I'm a retired ER nurse and have multiple chronic medical issues. I got Covid last year and was advised by my doctor to go to the ER ASAP because of my breathing issues. I was seen by a triage nurse only and sent to the waiting area for 5 plus hours. I was treated horribly, like I was roadkill. I finally called a family member to come get me as I was so weak, I couldn't walk on my own. I treated myself and it took me several weeks to start feeling some better. When you are having breathing difficulties it is scary, more so when the medical staff act like they don't care. To top it all off, I was sent a bill for the ER visit! The 20 plus years that I worked as an ER nurse, never was anyone treated like that. Never! Hospitals have gotten away from caring for the sick and are all for profits now. Hope someone sues the heck out of the hospitals doing this to people.
I get that a hospital isn’t a homeless shelter but dumping a patient especially in cold or otherwise bad weather , if the hospital won’t keep them safe then social services MUST keep them safe. Ridiculous! Zero compassion!
Wow. This is so heartbreaking. The mom died knowing her son was in bad shape. What is wrong with this hospital. I’m just disgusted. You don’t treat people like trash.
The stress of coordinating his care probably contributed to her death! And she looked young - in a decent society, she would have had easier access to healthcare herself over the years...I am just beside myself for that poor family. I am so tired of good working class people suffering needlessly so some parastitic CEO can watch a line go up.
This Hospital is the worst I heard of. But let’s be real, I know of so many hospitals that wont even look at you before you pay a ’deposit’ of minimum 2000(!) Dollar! This has nothing to do with health care, let alone empathy for somebody in need of help. This is stone cold business.
So maybe all you RNs can go work for free for a while so the hospital can build a fund. You are making good money and could really make a difference for some people.
I lost a security job over this. They made us take an old man out of the hospital because he had no insurance, ID, anything and obviously no way to pay. I stayed with him and called an ambulance to take him to a different hospital. The security company was MAAAD at me but they can eat worms for all I care. Some hospitals just care about money.
I’m a nurse and I can tell you Hospital management regard every patient as a customer. They only care about profit regardless of being nonprofit organization. So sad. I have seen a lot.
sicko showed this many years ago, in my country if this occured the doctors etc would lose their medical licence, here you always get treated and treated well and at no charge.
My parents own a small business. It’s just the two of them and they work extremely hard for a comfortable “middle class” existence. My sister died in a car accident and the day she was buried my mom had a heart attack. My sisters funeral almost took out their savings and the cost to keep my mom alive was the price of a house (well 10 years ago) so they will be paying the minimum on that hospital bill for the rest of their lives just so they don’t lose their house and business. We are all just an emergency or two away from being homeless.
This is like Helluva Boss, where a hospital doctor asked demons from hell what their insurance provider is, and the demons asked what the fuck is insurance, then were promptly thrown out of the hospital window several stories off the ground.
As a nurse I have never seen anything like that. If I ever do I would report them to the hospital accreditation boards and to medicare/medicade. That is deplorable and unethical. “First do no harm!” That is an oath medical staff are supposed to live by.
@@strongmermaid4651 should have done it through the anonymous reporting system. But if I saw that I would quit anyway. No way I could work for a hospital like that.
What is crazy just the other day someone told me that me being too compassionate about people is a weakness and would end up being negative. I see stuff like this now, makes me glad that I am a compassionate person. What sucks is the people they toss out is someone's loved one too. The world is often times cruel 🤷🏾♂️
Well this is what you and your neighbors wanted because excuses and not to physically do anything about it. So become the joke of the world and have at it😂
The medical industry is EVIL. PURE EVIL. 95% of medical workers are actually incapable of any medical ability. They all have a god complex. They will let good people die in waiting rooms. They kick you out for being sick because the staff is incompetent at curing you of anything.
This is happening in Chattanooga Tennessee as well. A friend of mine was in the hospital for a week and the day they discharged her, she was dumped off at the community kitchen and shelter that hasn't had any available beds for months. The shelter brought her a wheelchair cuz she couldn't walk more than a few steps and told her she could sleep in it outside the shelter. There's a couple of other women, one that's quite old, that are also in wheelchairs that sleep out there where it's well lit. The only other rescue mission doesn't take in the disabled. There's been a couple of different sexual assault incidents in the last 6 months at these shelters. It kills me that have no way to help her right now.
The lack of compassion is leaving me shaken. This is completely unacceptable. Any society that is ok with this sort of treatment of its citizens, particularly those who are most vulnerable is doomed to collapse.
You share the same perspective, like really ? 2023? Why Is everything and everyone categorised as a"problem" or "issue" Surely that doesn't depreciate ones value as a living , breathing soul, if this is humanity, I dread to imagine the world 1-2 generations from now. Utterly tragic and really heartbreaking. I hope those who found this really emotive , can come together to create something that will work going forward. Like for real, how many empty homes, apartments even hotel rooms , each and every night . Where is the charity and "movement" behind this ? Meghan , Harry? This is where there must be help, real palpable and prolonged help, the kind that ought to already be established to ensure those most at risk are not only "seen" but are "caught" and given a hand up not a hand out , arming them with real life skills, that can equip them through the hardships and to the other side where there is light, there is possibilities aplenty! And yet , instead of thriving and Living , too many folks are merely existing. that's not okay! For too long the unacceptable has become the accepted. There ough to be a health and social care reform that really does look at this and come up with an alternative plan, not every person will fit the set mould and it's tragic to me that it seems all is so quickly , too quickly (!) giving in and giving up. Where is the light in an otherwise darkened life? Where is the humanity and hope ? Bless you and your kindness.i appreciate your heart @Cornerboy73 It's folk like you that will bring about the changes we need to see in the world .
And imagine ,this is the country what won World War 2 . Those Trillions what you blundered From Germany ( and nuking Japan ) Should make you better of where they are ? Right? I guess that what happens, when being Satans lapdog... You get what you get !
The selfish attitudes of others is what really needs to change. Otherwise, help and volunteering of the few will never be effective. Think about that. And if you're so called adapting to a broken system, you are part of the problem.
Please continue to investigate this story. I suspect some of these shelters and hospitals may be receiving taxpayer dollars to take people in, but are not. The pursuit of money has become so vile. Why are the staff following these orders? If the CEO or CFO wants their fellow human beings dumped like rubbish, let them do it themselves.
They all are receiving our tax dollars! And guess who gets the treatment they need before us as citizens of this country illegal aliens do! This is from obiden care and its in full force now! Not to mention that the nurses and doctors are only getting hired because of the color of their skin and not the actual ability to do the job!

They have to make healthy people sick ? Heyyy! 40 yrs of weaponizing prions (cwd, cjd, aids) and then “outbreaks” . 70 years of distributing cancer (hela cells) in vaxx , and then “covid”
Tears in my eyes. A hard rain is a fallin. You can judge a society on how it treats the vulnerable. Children, seniors, veterans, disabled. This is really bad.
I agree. Society has sunk to a new low, given how many choose to become addicts, and how many fail their own family members to the point of not even collecting them from the hospital. It's very sad.
They should be arrested and sued into bankruptcy You go to jail if you abandon a dog they should be charged with abuse of the elderly and attenpted murder. I cant stop crying. Anybody who would do this is a MONSTER
Unfortunately, there are many families who would do this. Just refuse to come and collect their loved ones from the hospital. Or worse, the individual themselves has alienated their loved ones because they're an addict or mentally ill.

@@CharlesWilson-oz8ys Sure, that must suck, but it's not relevant. Once you're discharged from hospital, you have to leave. No matter whether you're rich, poor, or it's raining, or sunshine. Whether it's 10am on a Tuesday, or 3am on a Sunday. You HAVE to leave. You do realise that pretty much everyone who presents at an ER and is subsequently sent home, is leaving in some kind of sick or injured condition, right? Many are also disabled (disabled people tend to have more medical problems generally). Yet every single one of them MUST leave, as soon as they're discharged. If you're not admitted, you are not the hospital's responsibility in any way. What you seem to be suggesting, is like expecting the restaurant you ate at, to let you stay the night because it's raining. In fact that would actually be a better idea, because restaurants don't need their staff and resources for saving lives!

I have friends working in US hospitals: They are invaded by drunk / druggy bums who pretend to collapse in the front door to get a free bed and meal, while insulting, assaulting or spitting on nurses and doctors. The moment they are discharged, they collapse in front of the hospital entrance to try to get another round for free (one night costs taxpayers around 3000 USD)
@@I_love_all_the_animalsThank you for praying for these ppl in very harsh situations. God is SO SO GOOD! Have you thought of any ideas on how you could serve them? Or what the hospital should do?

And then, Im guessing, after the interview, he stayed with her til she passed. So Idky they were so mad at the hospital for not housing him, or the mission for not providing healthcare.

This actually happened to me! I had been extremely sick for several days. I went to the ER for help I was taken out by security without even being seen. I have 3 autoimmune disease and have had intestinal blockages severe allergic reactions and other things. I ended up in another hospital for 8 weeks. The first hospital said that I was being rude to staff when in reality I hadn’t even been able to talk to anyone. I sued and won but I think of all the others that were treated like me.

This absolutely happened to a friend of mine in Louisville 2 years ago. I was trying to help her, long distance, from out of the US where I was at the time. She was repeatedly dumped from U of L, in cold weather, with no shoes, in hospital gowns. She was diabetic, could not walk, had covid. I called around everywhere I could to see if I could find help for her, she stayed in a cheap hotel one night and I had food delivered to her. Eventually she has disappeared and I can't locate her, but her cell phone appears to have been stolen by some staff in a nursing home she wound up in. I am presuming she has passed away at this point. It's horrible. U of L are the worst.
Sounds ike your friend was a drug abuser, and this does not excuse hospitals, I am just saying, people just dont disappear unless they are using. This could be the reason why they dumped your friend, which as I said, is disgusting.
That’s super sad, in all my years of living I have never heard of a story like this until now. The failure of a society’s medical professionals will be the downfall of society itself.
This happened to my brother in PA. He was in a psych hospital and they dumped him on the street. Thank God we were able to find him and get him home. This is happening all over the country.

That’s what I’m thinking. I’m also a nurse and I don’t know why they never figured out a way to transitions these patients from the hospital to somewhere safe that’s not on the street. I get that they can’t keep them in the hospital forever because beds are needed but you also have to make sure the patients being discharged are safe.

@FactChecker.23 ACA...no more pcps...people go to ER for thier pcp or after symptoms and diseass process is unsurpassable....what is your suggestion? Where do these people go? Hospitals are usually at 100% capacity in metropolitan areas.
They also won't pay their staff the wages they deserve. That's why nurses are leaving to become travel nurses. Instead of in house. Administration is horrible pocketing the money.
You don’t know that unless you see an actual budget! One problem is that people routinely go to the emergency department for minor things that should be handled by their doctor, things that are not life and death issues. This takes a tremendous amount of resources and delays people who are serious, getting those resources. Having said that, outright escorting and dumping people on the street is criminal, do no harm, with an aging population, mental health crisis levels are extreme, with violence and poverty, hospital staff are being crushed under tremendous loads and alternatives have never come forth. Too much time, focus and money are spent on pet projects that benefit the wealthy 1% and then paying for their criminal trials.
Watching this made me sick. I’m a retired Nurse and find it disgusting that this facility dumps people on the streets. The older woman with COPD and Diabetes has lived a long life an DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE TRASH!!!!!!! This absolutely breaks my heart 💔
I've been in healthcare for 45 years and I'm so ready to retire. But if you truly are a retired nurse, patient dumping should not be shock to you. If you worked in hospitals, you know damn well that dumping has been going on for decades.
As a nurse you must have known this would happen considering hospitals are the primary source of health care for illegal immigrants. You know hospital resources are tight and our government still see open boarders are the right thing to do regardless of who is hurt by it (the most at risk Americans of all, people on the streets). We need real change, not the pissing trillions into the wind like our government has done for the last 3 decades.
It's a very small hop between these security guards and the guards of Auschwitz. They aren't sending them elsewhere for help. They are throwing human beings in the gutter like trash to die. It takes an evil heart to do that, period.
This absolutely happened to me at Sarasota memorial hospital about six years ago. After pushing me out to the street and leaving me unable to walk and in pain, they then had the audacity to send me a $3,000 bill for an ER visit where they didn't even give me an aspirin. I went to Doctors hospital in Sarasota the next day and was treated for toxicity from red tide. I still refuse to pay Sarasota memorial for doing absolutely nothing and making my life even worse.

But people were nicer then and there were fewer homeless people.
They aren’t supposed to dump people. The hospital social worker needs to work with social services and the county to place them in an extended/rehabilitation care center if long term care is needed and if they don’t need extended care but can not live independently they are supposed to place them in an adult group home if they do not have any familial support system. The state will pay the group home for their care and they will have Medicaid/Medicare for health insurance. This hospital should be sued
Something needs to be done about the hospital administration about dumping and refusing to give medical treatment to people who need treatment throwing them out of the hospital with a security guard is a federal state crime

As an EMT I was doing a non emergency transport where a patient was being discharged out of a hospital and the destination to drop them off wasn't an address. All it said was red van and the name of the street it was on. This man was in his 80's and could barely stand let alone walk. We asked if he could be sent to a facility and due to lack of insurance there was nowhere for him to go and that we had to bring him there. We drove to this red van and it wasn't even a running vehicle. It was junk in someones yard. We contacted a shelter ourselves and filed a report with the state. Not sure what was done about it but I'll never forget how gut wrenching and heart breaking that situation was. Humanity deserves so much more. There should be more programs for the uninsured and homeless instead of just dumping them like garbage to get them out of the way. Its inhumane

I told them I had no ride and asked to wait inside until my daughter could get there because of the heat. I was told no.
It took my daughter 1/2 hr to come to get me so I sat in the hospital parking lot under a tree and waited in the horrible heat.
I went for help elsewhere and was treated immediately.
I have insurance. I own a home so thankfully not homeless and was able to get a ride.
It's horrible how they treat the elderly that are homeless and all alone.
Many are only homeless due to inflation or they have lost their loved ones and are unable to find affordable housing.
Many other people are but one SS check away from being there. It breaks my heart to see how the homeless and elderly are being treated.
I remember when medical personnel were doing the job because they cared about people. Sadly not many of them do anymore.
It's frightening to be a senior knowing it's hard to get the care you need and it's only getting worse. I can't even imagine being sick, homeless and feeling hopeless because no one cares.
They'd kept asking me me if I wanted to sign a DNR which was scary. They seem to push that now.
this is 3rd world behavior, the US is only money, legal claims and school shootings, poor broken society you have there, zero humanity
As a healthcare worker myself, I am disgusted and embarrassed at that facility’s conduct towards their patients! And they have the nerve to call themselves healthcare providers?!?! I’m going to share this video with some of my coworkers because this needs to be a public service announcement.
Thankyou this needs to be shared with all americans and more media need to walk the line and show what's really going on in america!! To many evil people in America now!! To fire someone who speaks out the truth!!! Barbaric security and hospital staff to let this happen in america!!
Thankyou
I am healthcare worker too, and can tell you that even the so-called nonprofit hospitals are all about money. And then have the nerve to say that they care....bad leadership!

Look at all the healthcare providers that demanded the profoundly unhealthy practice of wearing masks in order to enter their facilities.
People don't deserve to be treated like this whether they have insurance or not.
but nobody in America will do the difficult and bloody work of demanding justice from insurance agencies or medical infrastrutcture
@@aeonsbeyond maybe someone should force labor out of you for no cost.
@aeonsbeyond so you are expecting them to provide expensive care for free. Legally they are only required to provide life saving care. The problem is a for profit healthcare system. We don't have a healthcare system in the US for anyone who can't afford it.
No hospital can refuse anyone emergency medical care.
If you can't pay the bill, they make a workable payment plan. It does not impact your credit score.
That hospital needs to be sued.
Until all hospitals are filled with homeless and illegals and you get sick. Until you need a bed. Or your kid. Then you will understand.
I went to a hospital in Atlantic City with pneumonia, the doctor was trying to get me discharged and get me to leave . If it was not for a nurse who stood up and spoke up for me I probably would have died that night if I had been sent away , I got so bad that night I thought I was going to die . Imagine if I had been home alone. To Thant nurse my God bless you for speaking up when you knew a situation was not right , for being a courageous, righteous, just and a moral person. You saved a life that day you yourself made the difference.
I am so glad that nurse was at the right place at the right time! I'm thankful you're still here 💛
Nurses and outside social service workers are very often the last line of advocacy for people in hospitals or in need of medical care. A travel nurse saved my wife from the results of a doctor's horribly botched hip surgery.
The nurses carry the heavy burden of health care. While being understaffed, underpaid and grossly overworked. And they still make it their business to advocate for patients. 😔
Glad that nurse stood up for you
@@lamoinette23What?? Literally every nurse I know constantly and I mean constantly brags about their high pay. The overworked AND underpaid are the CNAs....those are the aides that do all of the dirty work for the nurses. They are underpaid.

That one dudes mother, talking about the hospital dumping her son like trash, then finding out she passed away after the interview, heartbreaking. 😢
They dump fetuses in the trash on a daily basis, and to thunderous applause.
You can hold the sanctimony now.
Wtf didn't she pick him up then... if Simeon made to thr hospital then they can make it back home, if the person has no transportation then the hospitals call family thus the mother didn't care about her son... hospitals are not free hotels, how hard is that to understand

Years ago, I was passing a kidney stone and drove myself to the ER. When I got out of my car , I collapsed in the parking lot. Several hospital staff literally walked around me to get to the door of the ER. I lay on the pavement in absolute agony till a man came along and helped me get to the front desk - he was not a staff member, just a guy who was visiting someone.
Omg…..
and the doctors get hundreds of thousands paid to them every week.

This happened in 2005.

Did you go to Ben Taub?
A friend was homeless. He had a heart defect. He was in Dallas,Tx. He was a vet. He was having heart pains so he went to the VA hospital in Dallas. They knew he was homeless. They told him that he was just looking for food and a warm bed. They demanded that he leave. They were rude and condescending. They set him an appointment later that week. He dropped dead on the street just a few days later. If they would have listened to him and checked it out, he would probably still be alive today. VA sucks.
Yeah and often times homeless people get more sick then anyone I think in some situations they are just looking for a warm bed but if your out in the element's for that long it can take a toll on you and sometimes they don't want to deal with them because some of those bed spaces are needed for people that just got shot.
They also don't care if your a woman and some guy just beat the hell out of you as long as he wasn't strangling you or you didn't die. What's worse is some of these nurses were women you think they would have stepped up but if there's men controling the hospital sometimes they can't they have to consider the suspects reputation before your safety I really do hope they start holding some of these hospitals accountable because they hire the wrong people that have probably never been attacked before so of course there not going to care if someone gives you a concussion because it happened to you and not them.
I’m sorry for your loss
Sad that 1st he was homeless then the staff denied him help as if the food the hospital patients eat are being bought by this staff members. Sad he died as a result of dumbfks at the hospital
Very sad
That's beyond disgusting. As with our Vets they don't get the treatment they deserve. If you risk your life for your Country and come home, you should never have to worry about money again. A vet was sweeping floors at Walmart! Wtf! He should have been in his home, feet up and never have to work again. Our Government is imagine yours is similar they leave office never having to worry about money with the monies they will receive until they die. They do nothing useful, at least not for Canadians in Eastern Canada.
They teach them things that they never get over. Then have to fight veteran affairs for what's rightfully theirs. So wrong. I've dated a wonderful man but the effects of what he saw and went through he needed isolation. My friend tells me things when he's drinking which is a lot because he's not able to cope with what he's reliving in his head. It's sad. Our governments need a rehaul of the laws and looking after the soldiers the elderly and single mothers and fathers who didn't expect to be raising little humans alone.
What a disgrace. Hospital's are meant to be a safe place. Excellent reporting.
No, hospitals are meant to treat life threatening medical emergencies ... and that's ALL. If they try to do anything else, they can't save lives.

I am a clinical social worker (Masters degree in Social Work) who has worked in the hospital system for nearly two decades I can tell you that these stories are clear Medicare violations concerning unsafe discharge planning. As for the quote-unquote social worker at this facility I will be calling in the morning to speak to their social worker and if in fact this individual is an actual social worker I will be reporting to the licensing board and the NASW. There is no excuse for this behavior this is a culture problem within this facility and you can trace it probably from the top down I can tell you that unless they're lying totally in their documentation that a Medicare audit would likely cost them in the hundreds of thousands in fines, which I'd say they clearly deserve. To the Administration at this facility, I'd suggest ya'll start shifting that horrible unethical care model to a correct model or you'll be banned from accepting any federal funding and shit down soon after.
Thank you. 🙏🏾
Good luck.
Please do. This is beyond disgusting. It's inhumane.
Give us updates please on your venture.
Good, I'm glad that someone is taking care of it! Thank you for using your knowledge and experience for good! Sending love, light and big hugs, k
I am a retired RN. To say that I am shocked by this atrocity is an understatement. The CEO of that hospital, and all other hospital employees involved, need to face criminal charges. Paying out millions of dollars in judgments is, sadly, changing nothing. Criminal charges against all involved is necessary. If this does not happen, this will never end.
It's not at all shocking. This has been happening a long time... especially to people that don't have insurance to cover things, or people that they can't find secondary facilities for. I'm 35 and able to take care of myself, I just happen to need 4 weeks of IV vanco and meropenom. I've been clean for 3 years, I'm a compliant MAT patient and I still almost had to let them take my PICC line out and go home to die of sepsis essentially because there were no facilities that are willing to deal with MAT or the people that take it. Fortunately, I have a physician for a mother who knows my rights and lit up everyone who would answer a phone. Now, I'm otherwise healthy with a home to go to and and family to help me and they attempted to essentially abandon me and let me die at home...imagine that situation for someone whose mental health isn't being treated that's got nowhere to go, no idea what is and isn't allowed to happen to them, lacks the ability to stand up for themselves or even a phone to call a patient advocate or ombudsman, and has no family to fight. You shouldn't be shocked. Homeless people have been persona non grata since the beginning of our country, it's not a new concept and the healthcare system here has been corrupt and discriminatory since before I was born, before my mom became a doctor, so definitely while you were working in it 😒
Correct. The hospital needs to get closed down and the people in charge, prosecuted. I bet they collect medicare $ from the government. That is a big crime, besides being unethical. They are also FRAUDS !
You must be retired for awhile. This happens.
judgments in some cases just tax payer dollars being redistributed … with the added inconvenience of civil court dates. But with no one being charged with negligence.
@@rebeccasteinke4357 thing is thats not how its done in most of the world. Even though there are delays with universal single payer systems this level of grose inhumanity would not be seen ever.

I'm a retired ER nurse and have multiple chronic medical issues. I got Covid last year and was advised by my doctor to go to the ER ASAP because of my breathing issues. I was seen by a triage nurse only and sent to the waiting area for 5 plus hours. I was treated horribly, like I was roadkill. I finally called a family member to come get me as I was so weak, I couldn't walk on my own. I treated myself and it took me several weeks to start feeling some better. When you are having breathing difficulties it is scary, more so when the medical staff act like they don't care. To top it all off, I was sent a bill for the ER visit! The 20 plus years that I worked as an ER nurse, never was anyone treated like that. Never! Hospitals have gotten away from caring for the sick and are all for profits now. Hope someone sues the heck out of the hospitals doing this to people.
That is horrible!!!

I get that a hospital isn’t a homeless shelter but dumping a patient especially in cold or otherwise bad weather , if the hospital won’t keep them safe then social services MUST keep them safe. Ridiculous! Zero compassion!
Wow. This is so heartbreaking. The mom died knowing her son was in bad shape. What is wrong with this hospital. I’m just disgusted. You don’t treat people like trash.
The stress of coordinating his care probably contributed to her death! And she looked young - in a decent society, she would have had easier access to healthcare herself over the years...I am just beside myself for that poor family. I am so tired of good working class people suffering needlessly so some parastitic CEO can watch a line go up.
This Hospital is the worst I heard of.
But let’s be real, I know of so many hospitals that wont even look at you before you pay a ’deposit’ of minimum 2000(!) Dollar!
This has nothing to do with health care, let alone empathy for somebody in need of help. This is stone cold business.

This is happening in Chattanooga Tennessee as well. A friend of mine was in the hospital for a week and the day they discharged her, she was dumped off at the community kitchen and shelter that hasn't had any available beds for months. The shelter brought her a wheelchair cuz she couldn't walk more than a few steps and told her she could sleep in it outside the shelter. There's a couple of other women, one that's quite old, that are also in wheelchairs that sleep out there where it's well lit. The only other rescue mission doesn't take in the disabled. There's been a couple of different sexual assault incidents in the last 6 months at these shelters. It kills me that have no way to help her right now.
The lack of compassion is leaving me shaken. This is completely unacceptable. Any society that is ok with this sort of treatment of its citizens, particularly those who are most vulnerable is doomed to collapse.

Surely that doesn't depreciate ones value as a living , breathing soul, if this is humanity, I dread to imagine the world 1-2 generations from now. Utterly tragic and really heartbreaking. I hope those who found this really emotive , can come together to create something that will work going forward. Like for real, how many empty homes, apartments even hotel rooms , each and every night . Where is the charity and "movement" behind this ? Meghan , Harry? This is where there must be help, real palpable and prolonged help, the kind that ought to already be established to ensure those most at risk are not only "seen" but are "caught" and given a hand up not a hand out , arming them with real life skills, that can equip them through the hardships and to the other side where there is light, there is possibilities aplenty!
And yet , instead of thriving and Living , too many folks are merely existing.
that's not okay! For too long the unacceptable has become the accepted.
There ough to be a health and social care reform that really does look at this and come up with an alternative plan, not every person will fit the set mould and it's tragic to me that it seems all is so quickly , too quickly (!) giving in and giving up.

Many Hospitals contract out their Emergency Rooms; they insulate themselves from liability. It's ALL ABOUT MONEY! Emergency Departments are big bucks for the Contractors!!
Not in agreement with this but, the employees are only following protocol, given to them from the top. They have no power.
@@Elaina944they are part of the problem. Its absolutely reprehensible and all partys should be accountable. Down to the security guards dumping them out

I agree. Society has sunk to a new low, given how many choose to become addicts, and how many fail their own family members to the point of not even collecting them from the hospital. It's very sad.

You do realise that pretty much everyone who presents at an ER and is subsequently sent home, is leaving in some kind of sick or injured condition, right? Many are also disabled (disabled people tend to have more medical problems generally). Yet every single one of them MUST leave, as soon as they're discharged. If you're not admitted, you are not the hospital's responsibility in any way.

Im guessing Matthew needs long-term 24/7 care. Its curious that not ONE aquaintance/friend/fam member will give so much as a blanket & a corner of a room til a rm. Sounds like alot of burned bridges to me. & it'd better than the sidewalk & only be til a rm in a state-paid nursing hm is avail.

And then, Im guessing, after the interview, he stayed with her til she passed. So Idky they were so mad at the hospital for not housing him, or the mission for not providing healthcare.

And if it was diabetic shock she didnt get treated for...same thing. shed have bn on the ground sweating PROFUSELY.
The lady in the hospital gown...they have to escort them off the property once theyre treated. I guess shes entitled to sleep on city sidewalks, but Again...hospitals arent hmlss shelters. Its all hospitals can do to do what THEY'RE set up to do.
As far as the social worker goes: That wasnt necc'rly her fault. She couldve bn brand new that day for all we know. We dont have hardly ANY info & what we THINK we know is ONE side with ZERO proof. Im told that's Kentucky? Maybe the hospital staff who alerted the news crew should take these ppl home with them. Then they wont be hmlss.

She was repeatedly dumped from U of L, in cold weather, with no shoes, in hospital gowns. She was diabetic, could not walk, had covid. I called around everywhere I could to see if I could find help for her, she stayed in a cheap hotel one night and I had food delivered to her. Eventually she has disappeared and I can't locate her, but her cell phone appears to have been stolen by some staff in a nursing home she wound up in. I am presuming she has passed away at this point. It's horrible. U of L are the worst.

They aren’t supposed to dump people.

They’re not human.
Welcome to America
@@CheezNrice4uthey are human, just like you and me. Humans can be beautiful amazing beings as well as demonic evil ones. Just because some people are evil doesn’t mean they’re not human.

Sounds to me like we need war to end humanity.
Reminds me of that one episode in SpongeBob where the hospital threw out Mr. Krabs at the dumpster lmfao
