As an American I've said it for years: here you are not a patient, you are a customer.
👏good one! So if you can't pay, they dump you outside. Sad but clearly happening. It's inhumane to treat fellow human beings like they are garbage.
@karalynne7616 why aren't you letting them live with you?
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!!!
Exactly! 💯
@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.
The American Healthcare system is absolutely terrifying
The greed. Sickening.
Pay to play
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
By design
Define healthcare first. Then one can begin to...
Dumping someone out on the street who is not able to take care of them selves should be against the law
It IS. That's the point.
Medical negligence
here comes the communism talk.
Jesus loves you ❤ ✝️ Jesus is Savior of the world ❤ Jesus saves from hell. Jesus died for us on the cross. He rose again and is coming soon. We are living in the end times. Take refuge in His name ❤ ✝️ Just by the blood of Jesus that our sin is washed away. Not by our own works so no one can boast. Every one is a sinner and falls short of the glory of God. We need Jesus. We are living in the end time. Take a look at the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand. Repent and return to Jesus ✝️. Cry out to Him. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved. Kneel down before Him before it's too late.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🌎🌎🌎❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@danielsdiary8371 thank you this is it we're at the precipice of the end where everyone will figure out who was the only being that ever care for them..
Whoever did this to a vulnerable lady, deserves life in prison.
I've been treated this way for years and years in Central Florida.......as a homeless person!! Mostly turned away and refused help at the ER with various medical issues, then escorted off premises by security! The thing that really infuriates ME is now that I live IN A HOUSE through my church's incredible help, they know my face and name! And the hospitals STILL tell me I am homeless and won't allow me to prove otherwise, and ask me to leave or cops will be called! All I can see in this, is the hospital calling 911 about a homeless person at the ER merely asking for medical help needing to be trespassed!!???
Protocol IS-- if you are well to do, they can not discharge patients from the hospital without a friend or family or guardian present to drive that patient home!! For safety. But the homeless get dumped in their own, WITHOUT ANY TREATMENT!
Prisons are to soft . Old oil drum and pacific ocean are the fitted kind of punishment.
Agree 💯
@@user-cs7tc6cw1ihow do they know if your well to do they ask 😂😂😂😂😂
Dear God, an elderly woman collapsed in the street and it’s the actual hospital that dumped her. What have we become as a society.
The quality of a society is measured by the value they place on their most vulnerable.
Our *evil* is showing more?
Ukraine needs help, give them a trillion dollars package. This is nothing in front of what's happening in the Ukrainian.
Are you on your way up there to go get her? Oh, you’re not?! Let me guess, to busy at home surfin the net, sippin tea wrapped up in a blanky.
@@AFA111I think the people in the U.S.A. are more important
Why is no one blaming the hospital administrators and CEOs? They’re the reason this is happening.
Investigators are not allowed to question or audit admins and ceos.
No the government is why this is happening.
Hospitals will quickly go bankrupt.
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.
Personal financial irresponsibility is the reason
As a retired nurse this is horrific. The perpetrators and anyone who participated in this should be in prison. 😢
Hey Carol, possible solution to your horror:
1. Hire an attorney to prosecute the perpretators and anyone involved
2. You should come back work at the ER and teach them how it should be done.
(I bet you would be kicking people out of the ER once you've been loaded
with annoying patients coming to the ER for some nonsense complaint)
3. Go to your local ER and pick some homeless patients and bring them to your
house. Imagine how fun it would be making new friends you can hang out
with and all the fun things y'all will do (cooking, applying make up to each
other, hoarding things to your home, etc)
Your comment won't help fix the situation, but your actions will. What are you willing to do? Probably nothing my horrified ex-nurse.
@@alphacentaury actually I couldn't get hired. I'm too old unless it's just charting. Although I worked for years doing direct nursing in varied settings, mostly neurosurgery, and then doing investigations of medical facilities and nursing homes. Some people should never be around patients or anyone vulnerable. If you think it's somehow objectionable to hold abusers accountable you should probably find a new profession.
@@CarolB-ku2fe Oh, no need cause I left nursing already. I couldn't put up with healthcare BS anymore. I was an ER nurse, so I know exactly what's going on there. Too bad you were not brave enough to come down to the ER when you were a nurse. It's easy to give an opinion when you have never experienced it live (especially during covid).
@@alphacentaury PS, I have paid for several homeless people to stay in decent hotels and helped them get housing.As an older adult with multiple health issues I do what I can. when I was a nurse I was floated to the ER often.. more than once my coworkers and I used a fund we setup among us to help someone get lodging until SocServ could place them .we also bought coats etc from thrift stores, had them cleaned and gave them out. But people were nicer then and there were fewer homeless people.
No shot you’re a nurse if you really believe this.
Clearly you never worked in the ER
That is in-humane, short and simple.
This is NOT about training. Its about money!! Greedy, heartless organization.
You know what is awesome? When the hospitals go bankrupt and shut down and nobody gets help!
True, $$$. Sad, But, hospitals need $$$ to operate, maybe u can donate $$$ to your local hospital.
easy to say behind a keyboard, are you gona pay for her hospital stay?🙄
Absolutely!!!
The U.S. health care system is messed up
This is not only illegal, its inhumane, unethical, and unconscionable. Shame on them!!
We don’t do homeless, injured dogs like that!!
Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul😊
@@texasgoddess323Yes, Texas does the same thing.😊
Well said!!!
So when can the homeless move into your living room?
@@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.
I was dumped by a hospital when I was 18 after being hit by a car. I had a massive concussion, memory loss and convulsions. As soon as I was stabilized, they took me outside, dumped me from my wheelchair and took the chair back inside. The hospital wasn’t far from the freeway and I dragged myself down to an underpass and lived in a hole in the ground for about 30 days. I drank from mud puddles and ate garbage to survive. This was in 1981. I finally got my act together enough to realize the hospital had kept all my clothes and my keys and wallet. I managed to limp up to the hospital and get my stuff back before it was donated to charity. I spent the first 30 days living in a dirty hospital gown. Fortunately it was July when this happened or I wouldn’t have survived.
Jesus, that's horrible
You could have definitely sued that hospital for probably quite a considerable amount considering the circumstances they put you in.
Never too late to sue
That is inhumane what they did to you.
At this point if hospitals and other greedy companies act like monsters, we should treat them like them.
I don’t care what their excuses are. It is still no excuse to dump them in freezing, cold, weather, rain or any other weather! 😡😤
Seeing the elderly woman discarded on the freezing sidewalk truly shattered my heart.
Where was her family?
But not the news videotaping her, though, right?
@@_pitaph_6392Gotta get that money shot.
@_pitaph_6392 Good point, thank you.
@@thefox47545At least they're bringing attention to a worthy cause for once.
If it bleeds, it leads.
People leaving comments online are no better.
The amount of money we're charged for insurance AND our deductible while they do this to people is infuriating.
Why so many of us refuse to pay into the system. Its just a shake down.
Exactly!!!
I say 5 years minimum hard HARD time Federal time for each board member..... televise it so all the other dueshbags can see that when you treat nobodies like this this could happen to you!
These people aren't paying anything. How much more are you willing to pay to subsidize them?
Universal healthcare could solve so many issues like this in the US if they would just consider giving it a chance.
Subsidize them? wow. That's a pretty rotten attitude to take. They are human beings who deserve to be treated as such and be provided with healthcare.
This is Sickening! Whoever authorized this should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law!
It is heart breaking how they treat their old and sick.
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.
Disgusting. I've never been so ashamed in my country before in my life
@fal... what? Tennessee is a red state.
theres a ton to be ashamed of, our country is a corrupt joke sadly
I have when Biden won the election
@@thisis.michelletorres444which is why poor people can't get care. Vote red to continue having people dumped on the street.
@@fallcolors05voting red is why you don't have universal health care which would prevent hospitals from dumping people in the streets.
This is unacceptable and despicable.
We’re turning away our own, and welcoming strangers in droves.
Don't make this about immigrants. They aren't getting anything either. The whole world has gone to shit because politicians in every modern country have been bought and paid for by big multi-national corporations so that the 1/10 of 1% can hoard all of the worlds wealth. For profit healthcare, prisons, schools etc. are killing this country. There are some things that just should never be for profit.
Hospital policies are disgusting. Save the rich and discard the poor.

@@kjk4795is that why they charge 40$ for a single ibuprofen tablet? And tne insurance companies in the US are the greatest money gobblers… a procedure (robotic surgery hip replacement) costs 5000€ in Greece, all inclusive, with a private hospital/doctor… In the USA, “Without insurance, the cost typically ranges from $31,000 to $45,000 for the surgery alone. “… tell me again how hospitals are not getting enough money. Of course it’s free if you use the National healthcare system here in Greece.
@@Truth2power5848 We do need to put God first.
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.
Saw this last month and haven't been able to get these images out of my mind. Enraging.
That was horrible of hospital did this to the person That family is suing the hospital of negligence
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.
Dear God what is happening?? My heart is breaking 😢 Thank you sir for covering this story!
I know you all can't see but there are tears rolling down my cheeks.😢😢
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. 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.
This should be illegal and hospitals should be held liable.
It is illegal. Something horrible is happening in that hospital
@@mo-whack6790 Its not just that hospital but all hospitals, they got use to treating people like shit for 3 years and making bank on those who would jump through hoops to even enter, now that they are no longer making profit off of those they can mark covid; they are just treating everyone like shit
You really think suing is going to fix the problem? Throwing money at someone's face is a great way to get them to shut up so the facility can continue business as usual. WE NEED REFORM, NOT LAWSUITS!
It is illegal, they are simply playing the odds that these people won’t be able to secure legal counsel.
They only have a liability to stabilize the patient who doesn't have insurance coverage. This is what I was told while picking up my friend at the curb.
Thank you so much for your exposure of these barbaric and inhumane actions from hospitals in the US🤬
This poor woman
The American health care system is deeply disgusting.
This is a Christian mission so think about that too
Don't fall ill in the UK either. The system is broken and people are dying unnecessarily
Needs to learn from Copenhagen’s government on Health care
You Breeders and Pronatalists shouldn't be complaining about it.
You are the ones support this sadistic cruel System by having more Children you are continuing this cycle of Cruelty and Pro-suffering Society.
I work in an ER not in that area, and we don't treat people like that. This is unspeakably evil, and I hope justice is found.
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.
Bless you ! I am so sorry this has happened to you! You do not deserve this type treatment I will and am praying for you!!
Time to stand up together against these evil money grabbers and big medicine!
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
In the US, a man in his 80s should be on Medicare! No excuses for this!
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.
RIP to the lady who died after the interview. The mom of the dude in the wheelchair. May she get the rest from this wicked world that she desperately needs.
That was sad that poor guy probably doesn't have no one in his life. Wonder how he is doing. They should be doing more for these people. There should be more help available and maybe housing available as well.

You're very smart old lady. So, if you by any chance are around that hospital and need emergency services you will be f@*k#d! You should never go to a hospital take care of yourself at home instead. I'm sure one of your people will know what to do to save you.
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.
Did you realize that that’s a homeless lady that’s trying to get a free bed to stay in and she goes there every single flaucking day?
@@alphacentaury thank you! some people are just lazy flauck heads.
“It’s like I’m worthless”…exactly how I feel about healthcare in America. It’s a disgrace.
It's a damn disgrace. Oh my God. It's sickening 😢
That comes down to the people working in that hospital, seperstly from our usually bad health care available.
This is terryfyling.
It’s very very scary horrific at times no one can be trusted it’s so sad and all not necessary
Just as a question, where else with a capitalist society would u say its better?
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.
Dont blame the healthcare worker. Blame the system
Whoever told security to remove the patient and any security that actually did it are liable. They should be blamed. The person who made the order to remove the patient is to blame for basically saying "remove them". The security are to blame because they didn't refuse to do the inhumane act. If the security refused to perform the inhumane act and got fired, they would surely have a lawsuit they could file against their employer. An employer can't order an employee to do something illegal or inhumane and then fire them for not doing it.
This is beyond disgusting behavior! I don't have words strong enough to describe how horrific this is!
As an RN, I am beyond horrified! I am so tired of senior management's "excuses" for doing such things! It's heartbreaking.
Not heartbreaking, EVIL!
Thank you for your service. If we wanted to contact the local hospital and address this, what title do we need to speak with?
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.
If they were illegal they'd roll out the red carpet!
Take paycut and work some hours freefree.
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.
In the USA, if you have to go to the hospital, you may as well just blow your brains out. Faster and less painful
You bought the wrong game, real life has no safe zones.... pvp is allowed everywhere and only the big guilds can protect themselves.

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.
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.
This is absolutely disgraceful !!
This is beyond comprehension 😢

People in prison get better healthcare than the homeless. It's sickening.
How is dumping a paralyzed person in the elements without shelter or transportation in the very least not a reckless endangerment charge? I am positive this violates some sort of law (besides of course hippocrates "first do no harm")
@CL-lo3xr There isn't enough money and resources to care for all the homeless. A lot of them are VERY sick, physically and mentally, and likely require lifetime round-the-clock care.
@@peterlang777A hospital's job is to stabilize the patient, they are NOT for long-term care, and that's what these patients need. They likely were dumped because no long-term care facility would take them or the patients refused to go to them, I don't blame them as most of them are AWFUL. Those facilities are the one's that REALLY need to be investigated.
@thefox47545 Yes, you have a point. Hospitals are not assisted care facilities. However our Healthcare is failing everyone so bad that this is what it has unfortunately resulted to.
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!!!
Horrifying!!! Our medical system is a disgrace!!!!!!!!!
1stly Thank you 🙏🏿 soooo much for your service 🙏🏿…. And I hope you a doing well
Im taking a gun....i wouldnt be going out on my own....lol
$$$$$$ that’s all that matters
Absolutely disgusting.
WTH IS GOING ON !! This is absolutely horrific !
This Hospital needs to be held accountable. This is not only detestable but even evil.
Where is justice? It's already reached out to other countries in the world about this incident. There needs to be a reform in the whole entire system! Hey Biden how about actually taking care of this issue huh? Not even in Brazil that is a 3rd world country you would see that!
You think they are the only one or that this is new. Happened to a friend 20 years ago, thrown out onto the street to die from an ailement she was born with but which treatment would let her live a normal life span. But the health INDUSTRY determined she wasn't worth treating so threw her out to die, leaving behind a husband and kids. And that was a CHARITY hospital (allegedly, no charity being shown to the ill though) yet her ownly crime was to have been born with a medical condition needing diagnosis and treatment. Which they couldn't be bothered to do.
The US is a cruel country with NO CONCERN AT ALL for anyone unable to make money to keep the overlords in their lives of luxury and able to buy new luxury boats and luxury holiday houses overseas. China is better than the US, heck even ''uncivilized, third world countries'' like Brazil or Russia are often better than the US.
No crime against evil in the greatest country in the world.
What happens when they have no legal duty to allow a person to live their free without payment? They cannot let every single patient stay for eternity, because they have nowhere else to go. Imagine if a person that you do not have responsibility for came into your house and refused to leave, because he didn't have a home to go to... and then imagine that's 100 people. We do not have socialized healthcare in this country for a reason... because it's FAR FAR WORSE that what we have here. In the end though, as terrible as it is, we cannot FORCE hospitals to keep patients for any longer than they are needed to remain there. We already FORCE them to take patients who cannot pay while they are in a serious condition... but we cannot also Force them to keep them indefinitely. It would immediately crash the entire health system and then we'd end up like all the other socialist crap holes that have entirely destroyed their own countries and healthcare systems. The healthcare system is not and Should Not be responsible for housing people, especially without any payment and especially if the people don't need to be there, but will take up valuable space for people that do need to be there.
You can blame the G.O.P.- they failed our country on Universal Healthcare- So here we are and anyone of us can potentially end up in the same situation when we hit this age if the G.O.P. has a say so.
This is unacceptable. Everyone involved needs to be held accountable
Yup but they wont.

This whole damn country is becoming a crime against humanity! It will get worse if Trump becomes dictator in 2024 too! - This country is finished!
No that's figurative.
They are homeless because they use drugs and alcohol. They take handouts, but don’t stay in shelters because they the rules there don’t allow them to use drugs and alcohol. They have no means to pay hospital bills. They don’t pay tax. Who is committing crimes?
Exactly. These individuals are true terrorists and should be in prison for the rest of their lives. But then again this is all part of the plan so don't expect anything to be remedied. Quite the opposite.
That’s not how you use “literally”
Our country can’t afford proper healthcare and housing for our poor and elderly. But we can certainly support foreign countries.

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.
Sad for me I did report an incident in my state and guess what I got fired in 3 days

I really struggle to understand how anyone can be so cruel and heartless to the old and vulnerable. How do these people live with themselves?
Former Hospital Security Officer: Most of these PTs are mentally ill, drug-addicted, and homeless. The police department doesn't want to deal with them, so they call an ambulance to make them the hospital's problem. I've walked dozens of patients to the sidewalk and sent them on their way. We try to call their family or a taxi, but they usually can't pay. Which puts pressure on the nursing staff to pay for their ride out of pocket. These homeless cases are very commonly abusive to staff, disorderly, or openly hostile. I've seen multiple assaults on campus of these crazy people attacking our staff. It's security's job to escort them off the property when they have been discharged. The real issue is that the case workers assigned to these cases are overworked and deprived of the resources needed to properly help these people.
Not acceptable to dump folks.
@vatricegeorge706 then what is the appropriate action? People like your grand stand with no real answer to the issue.
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 💔
Mine too. And as I read in another comment, I feel ashamed as a fellow human. 🙏
*I couldn't watch it. I just couldn't. The thumbnail alone did me in.*
*I am thoroughly disgusted. Any hospital like this should be shut down!*
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.
I don’t want bums in my hospital. I say throw them to the curb. Or send them to a shelter.
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.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion. I wish that there were more people like you. What a beautiful world it would be.
Thank you for being an amazing person! I hope you are blessed in this lifetime.

Thank you. For the love of god thank you. We need more people like you. You give me hope.

This is a spiritual battle!!! Please pray brethren!!!!
This has nothing to do with anything spiritual.
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. 😔
Yeah but we are putting illegal immigrants up in five star hotels in New York City.
As an American you should ask yourself why this is so.
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.
@@mrp410: Refugees are not illegal & they aren’t put in “5 star hotels”. But as long as people resist universal healthcare in favor of for profit hospitals & insurance companies, this will continue to happen.

How is this not a violation of countless laws? The people making decisions in these hospitals should be facing serious jail time.
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.

People do realize that a lot of people are looking for a place to stay and refuse to do what the doctors ask. Hospitals are not motels and if you’re not complying with the doctors you need to go.
If you listen to the WHOLE video, it is painfully obvious there is a lot of negligence on the part of hospital staff and social workers.
@@toywrench1 I did listen to the whole thing. The problem is drug addicts and homeless people that choose their lifestyle but also want extra treatment. The hospital nor the staff a social workers and are only there to get people the medical help they need and then are supposed to be discharged.

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.

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.

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.

The VA hospitals have been doing this for decades….no one cares tho
I'm surprised this popped up on my feed as I am not near this state, but it is happening across the U.S. It is important that the reporter get all the facts by speaking with doctor that was in charge of the patient. Doctors are getting pressured from upper level admins and they sign off on bare minimum (do they have capacity etc) and everyone from nurses, social workers and security will seem like nightclub bouncers from the outside looking in - kicking folks out. There is a root issue, and it comes down to people not having enough money and no family. Most people can't afford the level of care they require. You have to be wealthy or broke. There is no in-between, usually the hospital will help you become broke by draining your income if you are not wealthy (C-suite level). If you don't have money, you need family willing to sacrifice for you. Most American families don't do this because they realistically can't as they also need to work to live. The Hospital need beds to run their business so they need a high turn over rate with new patients coming in.
