If you are watching this episode and relating to being "double jointed/hypermobile" please look in to Ehler-Danlos syndrom as this is a "rare" condition that is often overlooked by medical professionals as they are taught that if they hear hooves to think of horses not zebras.... i.e. Medical professionals are taught to think of every thing else except for what they consider rare conditions, like hEDS! (hEDS is a condition that can, unfortunately, take years or decades to e officially diagnosed!)
It took me 14 years to get diagnosed! I’m of the opinion that it isn’t rare, it’s just rarely diagnosed. Once I got my diagnosis, both my mom and dad got diagnosed, as well as four cousins, two aunts, two uncles, and my grandmothers on both sides.
@@hjahansouz A country with a GDP of 29 trillion, 10 trillion bigger than China and they cannot give a Nation Health Service is just lunacy to me. US citizens can lose everything they ever worked for including their homes when they become sick and need to receive treatments. If Little Britain can provide this then America should be able to do so. Our NHS is the largest employer in the world albeit the Chinese military. Our GDP is 5-6 times smaller than the US also about the same population wise. In other words the only reason the US cannot provide high quality (free) care is because there is a belief they cannot do it, but in reality, they could do it. American people deserve this after what they have achieved in the world and the sacrifice they continue to make by keeping most of us safe from communism and dictatorial ideologies which would of led to invasions and unthinkable horrors coming to our shores. The world is very unfair.
Swabs, etc. there was an article I read about a couple who for showing up an emergency ended up with a $15,000 hospital bill and they lived in the US. It was for something minor and they couldn’t believe the bill. Husband called the hospital and asked for detailed bill what they were being charged for. And what he found out was unbelievable. The swab that they used and they only used one, but they were charged for the whole box full. For the bandage that they used again. They only used one and they were charged for like a dozen I believe. Bill went on like this so he made an appointment and he went down to the hospital and they chiselled it down to $1250. Down in the states, you have to question everything that you’re being charged for in the medical system and don’t be afraid you have every right to ask what you’re being charged for. I live up here in Canada, so you know all our medical is paid for. I’ll be going in to have open-heart double bypass surgery and when I leave the hospital, I don’t owe them anything. That’s one thing about living up north that is great.
Sue's husband looked so worried when the they said 6-8 weeks, I'm sure it's going to be a very long 6-8 weeks for him. 😂 It can be hard when someone is impatient and snaps, my partner would know!
What they forgot to put in this video . Is the hrs of waiting to see someone and hrs to get scans and results. Wish our hospitals up here were that fast
Where is "up here"? They have that 4 hour patient quota wait in place. Ive never been in any hospital in and out that fast in my life and I've spent far more then most in hopital or the ER(A&E) I am in Ontario Canada thats why I'm curious. Thanks :)
I hope the lady with the abscess has it treated correctly and they take the sac out. Otherwise it will continue to come back over and over until this is done. Could be the infection or pockets of infection have tracts under her skin that would be hard to manage too. I really feel for her.
Well it's kind of what the programme is about. When I was in hospital on a small ward, when I could eventually stand, to my horror there was an elderly man in the corner on a mattress on the floor. I asked if I could swap places with him so he could at least retain some dignity but they refused because I was still having bloods taken several times a day. I didn't even know he was there or how long he was down there. He was curled up unable to communicate and he looked like he wasn't for this world much longer. He didn't have any visitors that I noticed either.
Does anyone else find it confusing that any other NHS hospitals(trauma, day surgeries, urgent care, A&E etc) in England fight tooth and nail to get beds and staff for very sick patients but this one place has 81 beds in day surgery and they only average 2 patients a day(79 sitting unused)? If there is 81 beds there then they MUST have enough staff on those rounds to care for 81 full beds. Is it that hard for NHS to figure out why their system is struggling to meet damand? One of the many reasons but still an important one
even a broken toe is serious. There was a recent case in the maritime where a mother of 2 had a broken toe but the hospital missed it. The infection spread and when finally diagnosed she had her leg amputated just above the knee from the spreading bone infection. Sad.
@@doloreslaplante3719 wow that is horrible!! It's better safe then sorry, although I'm sure there are many people that go when it's really not necessary, and some people that don't go when they should too.
I thought the wife was the annoying one. He's been looking after her, even though she's not very gracious about it. He waited at the hospital the whole time. He knew exactly how long the surgery was supposed to take, and how much longer it did take. He first thing he asks after surgery is how she is doing. He is aware of the concerns she has with work and life. And, he's going to look after her for up to 8 weeks knowing she's going to be difficult, understanding she's not upset with him. He may not be overly demonstrative with his affections, but all of those little things add up to a stand up guy.
Nurse: that looks so painfull. Patient: it is very painful. Nurse: looks painful so I'm going to push around on it. While patient is saying it hurts. I will never understand why doctors want to know where it hurts the most and then pushes it and moves it around. It made me so mad. Can you please do the xray before you start pushing on a potential broken bone.
I had a fractured pinky as a teen and it was splinted etc, I had to go back to get the dressing changed (the nail was damaged and they had to remove it initiall) and the nurse was cleaning up the finger first by pulling off the gauze which had STUCK to the sensitive nail bed, then she started scrubbing the finger and I'm protesting and said it was fractured and she said "I didn't know it was fractured" geez!!!! The next time I was to return I soaked the finger in peroxide and warm water to loosen the gauze over the nail bed in advance.

Another awesome video! Glad 😁 that everyone is doing a lot better! Thank you 😊 for sharing, and like always, always keep them coming!
Watching this in the US and I can’t help but add up how much I would be paying for each procedure, surgery, bandage, pill etc. 😞☹️
Yes and they actually care about your pain.
Isn’t that the truth? We are scared of going to a hospital. Too expensive, too impersonal!

Maybe mrsa. People often think they have been bitten but it turns out to be mrsa.
Ohh so they even get the medicine there ! Wow 😊 here in Sweden we have to go to the farmacy and buy it ...
more episode please from philippines 😊😊😊
Wisconsin Badgers represented by Orthopedic doc!
They should make waiting room for the people who are there for moral support a bit more welcoming
Susan is really not the best patient. I feel bad for her husband.

my sister in law caught Mrsa its horrible. everyone is afraid of her now.
Nurse:"Can you lift you leg"
Harvey:"No"
In x-ray @ 38:57
Nurses request was @ 32:28
He's had pain killers since. She had asked previously if he had had any and he sain no, and she offered to get some for him.
lol lol I noticed that too.
During his intake assessment, he couldn't lift his leg. If I remember correctly he didn't have pain meds yet.
The teen that's double jointed had no problem lifting his leg for the x-ray.
Why all those people are lying on the hospital bed with their shoes on ???
Great video but I must say all this talk about the status of the bed is boring and annoying.
Well it's kind of what the programme is about. When I was in hospital on a small ward, when I could eventually stand, to my horror there was an elderly man in the corner on a mattress on the floor. I asked if I could swap places with him so he could at least retain some dignity but they refused because I was still having bloods taken several times a day.

Each bed has 2 patients p/day. They use each bed every day
Nurses in the UK can prescribe drugs say WHAT!!!!! Only Doctors are allowed to do that in the States.
not true.. 22 states in the US allow full practice authority which allow nurse practitioners to prescribe without the supervision of a doctor.
Who in the World goes to the hospital for a broken toe???
Her doctor sent her

The lady who broke her arm her husband is annoying he doesn't seem to be a very nice person I feel sorry for her
I don’t think so. I think he is just a typical dude who just wants to be there for his wife but doesn’t know quite how to do it.
