Last years i was hospitalisé 6 times and this years i was in the hospital from janiary31 to february 28 so i see à lot of stuff i live in Canada so here its free so à lot of People came for stupide stuff they complain to wait 12 hours at the emergency but go Just bécause they Hurt they wrist !!some give the nurse sh*t Just because théir food came 10mins late or because its à little cold ! Me the nurse was always telling me dont worrys you can push the button for help because i Never push it i was waiting somebody else was pushing it in the same room has me !! Sorry for the fault my phone is french like me lol so autocorector do wtv hé want haha
It blows my mind that people do that. Must have insurance. I couldn’t imagine spending $1,000+ for an ER visit just to sleep there and treat people like shut. I guess with homeless people I can kinda get it, but just out right entitled people that drives me nuts.
As a former aide .... "WHERE'S MY TURKEY SANDWICH!!!!!! THIS PLACE IS BULLLSHHIIT!!!" 🥴🤌♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Just some PTSD for ya today lol.. I worked on MEDSURG so I definitely know the Hotel Hospital
If you've ever been in the hospital before and have tried to call the nurse, but they take forever to get there, this guy is the reason. There's usually a handful of nurses for each floor/unit and tons of patients. When you keep demanding their time and bugging them with phone calls, it keeps them from their duties with other patients. The entitlement is strong with this one.
Just going by your comment I'm gonna jump the gun and sayyou haven't been to a hospital or ED since before covid. We are drastically understaffed and we would love a handful nurses per floor. That doesn't always happen and usually isn't the case. I've worked where there was a max of 3 nurses per floor and lemme tell you, it's honestly the closest thing to hell I can imagine. I love my job but even one call out can ruin a 12 hour shift. /end rant. Sorry.
@@xGhouI you're correct. The last time I spent significant time in a hospital was pre-covid. My overall point here was that needy patients like this are the reason why it feels like it takes forever to get anyone to answer your calls. I think it was absolutely justified to kick him out and tell him not to come back.
@@firehawk2324 on the subject of pt like that guy, did you know they just recently had to put signs up that it's a crime to assault the medical staff? How fcked is that
As a nurse, just FYI, the reason it often takes us a long time to respond to call bells is because we are dangerously understaffed and have to treat people based on priority. If theres a patient showing signs of heart failure or stroke and other emergent things they are first, then theres the people who need specific nurse/doctor procedures attended to, and a patient screaming to turn off a light is right at the bottom. and we will still try to come over with a smile and our utmost care before we are called back to the next emergency 😓
I also cant trust a call light of a pt who screams at me every time I answer to it lol . If you are pressing the call light because you need actual help I will be there as fast as I possibly can , but if you're pressing it because lunch is five seconds late , you best know I am caring for my other patients first lol
I’m sorry you guys have to deal with this! Respect and kindness should always be shown, ESPECIALLY to those who help save our lives. Thanks for all that you do ❤
I have a question; when patients call in are they also ranked depending on their situation/call? That is what I think happens. Yet I don't want to assume. (This is my husband's account)
I'm SO HAPPY to see a Doctor stand up for his nurses. Nurses are seriously underrated, overworked and underpaid for what they do! anytime I've gone to the hospital (Canada, mind you) they've always been so sweet, informative and kind.
I want to the mental health ward in a hospital for like two weeks. Some of the nurses were the worst but there were some that were so genuinely amazing and made me feel so cared for and validated. One sat me through a panic attack and another was just so motherly and it melted my heart. With any profession I think some are great some some arnt so much. But honestly I love and respect all the nurses out there cause it can't be an easy job
That poor nurse (the one who had to clean up the urine) sounded like she was just about ready to cry. Honestly, why be rude to the people who were LITERALLY able to kill you and make it look like an accident?
You saying this shit right here is why nobody trusts nurses. Cut it out. Most nurses don't even know how to fake their own medical certificates, let alone get away with a perfect murder.
Love a My 600lb Life reaction. This guy was beyond help, rude and abusive towards Dr Now’s staff. No one deserves that. - Thank goodness for Dr Now for standing up for his staff. Good man.
I went to the ER because of a seizure, I’ve never met people so incredibly grateful because I plugged a loose EKG sensor back in place a few times, so they didn’t have to rush over. That ER didn’t have any food, so they gave me a nurses home cooked lunch. Respect, humility & kindness goes a long way.
I don’t want more respect I want more money! The amount of work is not paid enough. Heck, I’d argue doctors aren’t paid enough. All positions in healthcare put in an absurd amount of training and work.
From working in the medical field, it’s extremely annoying to deal with patients that constantly press that button for no reason. Most of them are bored and lonely and use it as a way to have human interaction, but they fail to take into consideration all the other patients needs.
One of the reasons I was pretty unwilling to press the help button for stuff like a glass of water, when I had my appendicitis. Knew for a fact I wasn't suffering like other people there.
At the start of the pandemic I was hospitalized for a bacterial infection in my bowels. The only time I pressed the button is because I had a major panic attack because I was scared to be away from home and I have emetophobia and was so sick I kept throwing up (which made me panic even more). The day I could leave, the doctor would do his final check-in with me, they gave me a time and I waited for more than 1.5 hours w/o pressing the button, because I WAS BETTER. And other people in there needed the help sooner than me, because I got to go home. The way Steven only thinks about himself and disregards the feelings of other patients, nevermind the staff, is BEYOND me. Truly an occupation you do out of love. Not money or respect. Geez.
I’m pretty sure he does it because he enjoys the attention- positive or negative. Looking at his smug face as people struggle to move his ass is proof beyond.
I had to use to call button since I couldn't walk at the time I was ignored by the nurses as they thought since I was in my early 20s at the time I was faking it I almost pissed myself waiting for my mom to get their in the morning so I could go she had to help me up to the bathroom. When a nurse did show up they were very irritated with having to help me, I was 22 year old woman at the time I truly don't want to take a piss in front of a nurse and I hated how they thought I just wanted attention it was a smack in the face on an already humiliating experience.
@@marzthescum3113 When someone is addicted to meds, or really any substance, those take priority over things like food, water, sleep, safety, etc. The chemistry in your brain literally makes your body prioritize the meds/substance over the things you need to survive, so it makes you start to lose weight and become sick/gaunt/weak and pale because you aren't taking care of your basic physical needs. 😬 Addiction is gnarly, and people don't realize how it takes over everything in your life, and it becomes the only thing your body craves to survive even over food and water.
As a home health nurse, I had 2 patients who were this size, but they lived alone and were the polar opposite of the guy!! They did take issue with a few nurses and requested me (even when I was sent to work a different area), so I saw them for years. If I was running late, they just told me “It’s ok… please just be careful!!” This guy and Tammy give people suffering from obesity a bad name. That leg condition is pretty common for them. It’s called lymphedema and can cause stasis ulcers like he had on his ankle.
U are so far the only nurse who hasn’t said anything disturbing on these comments. Thank you for not talking crap about your patients. You are clearly a good nurse and we need more nurses like you.
a lot of people become obese due to mental health struggles and p much eating their feelings. it makes sense that the majority are generally kind - and self-conscious i'm glad you are such a good nurse
Not discrediting anything you’re saying & thank you for being a nurse!!! Much love. But just wanted to give Tammy some credit here! She got the surgery and seems to be up and moving on social media. So happy she turned her attitude around.
Steven is a mess but he made Dr. Now say some epic stuff. "Why you do weird things?" "Have you ever heard of soap and water? I have people back there puking from the smell." "What in the world is wrong with you?"
The dr isn’t so great himself he’s too old and needs to retire. Bedside manner is important regardless if the patient is a jerk. My grandma was head nurse and she had tons of rude patients but she….had good bedside manner. That’s a requirement for anyone working in the medical field if you’re dealing with patients.
@@FurbyParade226 you don’t get it. A doctors job is to lose the emotion, insecurity and do their job. This is why you aren’t a doctor honey you mentally aren’t equipped to do that which is why you don’t comprehend why it’s an issue. For example I have very expensive health insurance blue cross blue shield…these doctors especially the ones who specialize in certain things like this guy does are paid millions……so someone has expensive insurance and is rude well there’s two options… ignore them or do your job. He is a weak human if he can’t brush off what a pathetic man who can barely move, who is also being humiliated on tv says. You appear to be someone who values their petty opinions and feelings too much.
It’s hard to imagine treating healthcare workers like this, especially in his condition when he’s completely dependent on them. I am full of “thank you”, “sorry to bother”, and “I appreciate your help so much” everytime I’ve ever needed medical care. So gross to treat them the way he does
He’s clearly lived his whole life rarely (if ever) being told “no” and thankfully the hospitals are not tolerating his mindset. I wonder if it only went on for multiple months for the show and how long it would take in a non-televised case for a hospital to kick someone this toxic and abusive out.
I think Maybe it Will take longer for à non televise patient because here they have proof on video that is abusive to the nurse and help nurse but for à regular patient they have no real évidence that is abusive to them but Maybe im wrong
Seen a couple of these before. Most recent one was hilarious to me as a bystander. Dude was yelling at the top of his lungs so i could hear him through our closed doors. And yet, this dude has the audacity to complain to the staff that they are trying to embarrass him by having his door left open to “allow everyone to hear what his dr has to say.”
Steven has been on multiple episodes of “My 600 lb Life” and he has not changed. He is a complete diva every time he’s on the show and every time Dr. Now kicks him out. What’s insane is the first time Steven was on the show, he was with his brother. His brother did everything he was suppose to do, got the surgery, owns a hobby shop, and is living life away from his brother and father.
Excellent tactic. Sell yourself as a duo to get on the show then take all the steps and help you need to improve, then shut out your toxic family and live happily.
@@How_To_Drive_a_TARDIS Ppl like him, ppl who think the world rebolves around them & complain that help doesn't show up in a millisecond cus they don't stop to think that there's other ppl that are worse off than them & staff might be tending to them first cus their situation is one critical.
“But I need to talk to Henry…” Lol that’s when I go, “Henry isn’t available right now, so here’s what we’ll do. I’ll bring you some paper and a pen so you can write down everything you want to talk to Henry about. He will come back when he is available and that way, you can address everything at once without worrying about whether you forgot to mention something! You hang tight and I’ll be right back with that!” To many it comes across as helpful and can help ease their anxiety. To those who are trying to push limits and make us run around, it sets a clear boundary that we will not discount your concerns, but we won’t drop everything and sacrifice the care of other patients for your power trip. Works great when they want the doc back over and over. Also, notice how it’s polite, but it’s not a question. It’s “here is what we are doing. Let me help you make it happen.” Gives them less room to push back
I'm a retired RN and have had a couple of truly outrageous, impossible patients like this tool. We just got a very, very small glimpse...you know this guy was on that light day and night...the staff were probably all threatening to quit, and I know they dreaded dealing with that abusive behavior.
But you know what sounds like you dealt with it the right way. More than I can say for many other nurses in these comments. It seems there is such a high number of new nurses especially the two year degree ones….and it’s really putting a stain on their chosen career as many of them do not care about the patients, lack empathy and are beyond cruel. I have blue cross blue shield platinum and i don’t like talking about it but something really odd was happening that needed to be removed/checked. I was wearing a playboy hoodie and sweatpants…the nurse told me I didn’t have health insurance even tho I gave her my id to check, when I called my insurance because I paid out of pocket they open d up a discrimination claim against her because she never even checked, she just disliked that I had platinum blonde hair and playboy sweater on. She probably lost her job but still…it’s people like that that make me fear nurses. This other girl who is a friend of my friends is a nurse and claims “she doesn’t want to help homeless people because they’re gross”……oh and btw she has three friends who are also nurses, exhibit the same behavior and two of the three are…strippers who are addicted to drugs. The one literally steals drugs from the hospital and does it with one of the doctors…..🤦♀️ my grandma was a nurse and she was so wonderful that they made a scholarship for future nurses in her name. I really wish all the good nurses like you and her didn’t retire because oh boy hospitals scare me now lol
@@nicolette1598 I am sorry for your bad experiences but I also do think that those have given you a rather negative bias towards nurses as a whole which I don't find very fair. And you spreading such a negative view and generalizing them all like that isn't helping. Being a nurse is an incredibly demanding job, both physically and mentally, and they do get a lot of unjust shit already. I really don't think most nurses, nor the ones in the comments who vent a bit in a general senses about dealing with similar patients like the guy in this video, are necessarily bad nurses. It is a fact that it simply sucks to be yelled at while you're literally running yourself ragged. We're all only human. It's no different from a customer service worker getting annoyed at a Karen but the sad part is if it's a patient, especially one that's staying for a long time, dealing with them is not just done and over with quickly. You're stuck dealing with it. Day in, day out. Being a good nurse doesn't mean being okay with being treated like dirt. I am not saying there are not bad ones out there. There are. But, there's shitty people in every profession, as well as how there will always be shitty patients health care workers will have to deal with. Both suck. That's just the bottom line. Yet, there's also plenty of good nurses and plenty of grateful patients, too.
@@nicolette1598 it’s always the people with lovely nurses as family members that spread this negativity… thank goodness your grandma isn’t reading this awful negative generalisation of nurses…. The issue here is if someone reads this will think all newly graduated or Practicing nurses are awful but they aren’t… stop spreading negativity about nurses and the profession
@@nicolette1598 a TON of great nurses quit very early on to get out of bedside care. Its extremely abusive and downright dangerous. My mom (Paramedic/EMT/E.R. Nurse of 20 or so years.) Has been stabbed with a fork, had chairs thrown at her, was punched REPEATEDLY, and thats just a few of the things that happened to her. Management at a lot of hospitals are NOT like dr. now, they dont care to protect you and will definitely punish you if you try to refuse a violent assignment. I did CNA work for about a year in an LTC, in that time I was spit on, had urine thrown at me, i was punched several times by multiple patients, I was touched underneath my scrub top by a patient, I was kicked, i had coffee thrown at me, sometimes food trays. I had one patient attempt to hit me with her bedpan. The verbal abuse alone was insane. I started that work because I wanted to help people, i had taken care of my grandma and it meant something to me to take care of other people loved ones. But just a few weeks in I realized a lot of these patients are just downroght hateful and management will do absolutely nada to protect us. There were 12 people in my starting week, they were all incredibly kind and had the right motives. There is not a single one of us left. There was one travel nurse I adored who would help with my overload of patients (11-22pts depending on callouts. There were always call outs.) and gave me tylenol when I had a kidney infection and didnt know it yet. I got to work 4 shifts with her and then she never came back. When we are expected to tolerate horrible horrible treatment with a smile, we lose all of our good people. The only ones left lack empathy, because they have to to make it through the day. If we treated the staff better from the get go, especially post covid, we wouldnt be in this situation. This is a problem of the publics making.
@@nicolette1598"I don't really like talking about it" proceeds to write a damn paragraph talking ALL about it... Lololol Also your apparent NEED to describe your appearance is weird .. Definitely just screams "pick me" energy. Yikes 😂
I've been admitted into the hospital quite a few times and I ALWAYS feel terrible pressing the call button even if I actually needed it like for help to the bathroom or something, I always apologized and thanked the nurses and tried to make friendly conversation. I could NEVER imagine treating hospital staff like that, especially when your life is on the line.
I always feel bad to so I always wait for the other People in my room to press the button like this they Come in for two People at once instead of ckming to times
@@sand_Ra24 I've used that method a few times too but my last hospital stay I was kept for 2 weeks and immobilized so I was in a private room and couldn't do that, but I would force myself to deal with things that wasn't a necessity for the nurses sake bc I was 100% dependant on them
Some people need to understand, you CAN get blacklisted from hospitals, and hospitals will warn others of who and why the person got blacklisted. The hospitals that turned him away, knew he was trouble.
I worked in the healthcare field and it's sad to admit but there's no help for this guy even for a drill sergeant. If he isn't going to help himself and make others suffer and refuse to change, it's best just to leave him be and let him rot till he dies. No hope for him and no need to for this effort from everyone else.
its crazy how manipulative steven truly is. He knew that those nurses had to respond to his call button even if he's consistently pressing it because they could lose their jobs. Then how he was speaking to Dr. Now like he actually has remorse and wants to do better but right when he steps out and he thinks he's gone he presses his button again. I hope he loses all the weight so someone can give him the same treatment he believes he's so entitled to.
I'm almost 100% sure that this is the guy who got addicted to the pain meds, gained all the weight he lost after the surgery and ended up getting his family to get him Mrs and get high.
As a dayshift nurse in the hospital on a medsurg floor, thank you for recognizing how busy we are. 💜 Every shift we are understaffed. Pain medicine is set by the doctor and is given when the patient requests it (within the time frame the doctor set usually every 4 to 6 hours, definitely not available every 15 minutes) we could lose our licenses by giving pain meds without the patient requesting it every time. There are many times we have 6 patients at a time with some discharging and new patients coming in, many 12 hour shifts I do not even have the chance to pee let alone eat or drink. When a patient keeps calling, we do our best to cluster care in order to provide care to every patient. Its treatment from patients like him that nurses burnout and quit the industry. We also deal with being verbally and physically assaulted by patients and visitors. Once saw a fellow nurse who was pregnant get punched in the neck by a patient. No reprimand to the patient, coworker ended up being okay but that behavior should not be tolerated. Good on Dr. Now for discharging him. Hospitals are meant to help people, and if someone is not compliant that room can be used for someone else in need who sincerely wants the help.
when i had back surgury there was a little pump and a button that I could hit to self-administer the painkiller. It was on a timer so you couldn't OD. I think I only hit the call nurse button about twice during my entire week I was at the hospital.
I’m chronically ill (vascular ehlers danlos syndrome, mcas, pots, high output ileostomy are my main issues) and have been hospitalized a bunch, the medsurg floor is always so so so busy . I learned a long time ago that you don’t want to be the one that the nurses are focused on bc that means you’re having an emergent issue, or some other complications. Stephen makes people like myself who suffer with debilitating pain like addicts. Thank you so much for what you do, I respect nurses so much and have only ever had a few “bad” nurses but the majority are amazing humans. You are an amazing human ❤
I remember being in the ER waiting for help and my mom (who is a nurse) had to not only take my vitals, she had to check my IV and other things… I’m starting to think people like him are the reason the nurses were overwhelmed
One of the many reasons they are overwhelmed at the moment 😕 on top of staff shortages, unhelpful management etc. people really need to think before they press the button for help as awful as it sounds
As a nurse, this behaviour gets under my skin. I had a falling out with family after I confronted the negative behaviour toward hospital staff when my grandmother was in the hospital. If my grandma had been aware of that behaviour, she would have been so disappointed in those family members.
Steven is such a miserable human being. I feel for him to a certain extent. However, he's not tried to get better then takes it out on everyone around him.
Don't. He was so much worse than it shows. He would throw the urinals at staff and scream like a toddler if you tried to say anything he didn't like. If you didn't answer his call light, he would bombard the hospital and nurses station with phone calls from his cell phone. Constantly had mountains of food delivery showing up for him that he already paid for on an app.
I used to be a PDA (Patient Dinning Assistant) and you’re right Ken I used to be the only person on shift for a WHOLE hospital. Placing orders, printing tickets, PLUS handling new patients in the middle of passing out food. It’s just a real hassle sometimes and patience is appreciated.
Someone this deeply psychologically flawed and entitled has been trained to be this way by his parents/caretakers his whole life. “Oh my precious baby boy! What do you need my sweet boy?” His dad has unintentionally signed his death warrant using love and kindness as a pen
100% true. He also favored Steven over his brother a lot and let Steven bully him all the time and let him even take his pain meds from him. The dad is as bad as he is not hard to see who he gets it from.
While I agree to a degree and that the dad is definitely also the enabler, I also feel that when you wind up in your 30s there comes a point where an intelligent person will use their brain and realize what they're doing is wrong and start to do some serious self-reflecting. Especially after being kicked out of others with this hospital being his last resort. Epecially after he's been given fair warnings in this hospital, to boot. He's a grown ass man now so he definitely is also responsible for his own actions at this point. And he chose to be... like this.
If you drink a lot of water, consider asking for a pitcher or several cups at once. I definitely never minded doing that for my patients and it usually saved me 2 to 3 trips back and forth per patient. Everybody wins! Ps. I do the same thing at restuarants because I drink a LOT of water.
I've unfortunately had to go to the hospital far more times than most people due to kidney failure and a weak immune system. And every time regardless of the pain I am in, I always am polite to all of the staff. One time I remember the nurse telling me she was sad to see me back so soon but glad to have been reassigned to me as I wans a easy patient to work with. If you treat them with respect, they too will return that respect. Thank you to all of those that keep the hospitals running.
post partum, there was a huge air bubble in my IV and the machine started going crazy. I called a nurse and she left me mid-way to help another mom who's stitches busted open, and told me to call her if the air bubble got too close to my arm. lmao she eventually came back and stopped it. she told me the hospitals were so understaffed everyone had more patients than they could really bare. i cant imagine acting entitled in a care area. alot of those ppl work so damn hard
i pinched the line lmao i was too scared to pull it, because itd taken soo many tries of them sticking me to get a vein. i was crashing with clampsia and had taken 2 rounds of mag at this point, i could barely stand or take myself to pee@@clark2491
@@barborabarusova4790 they can actually. Thats why it's important to not inject air into the vein when giving a shot etc. Sure it's not common, but it's something not to mess around with. That's why with my autoinjection I get told to not use it if there is air bubbles.
I saw him on a TikTok live almost a year ago begging for money and yelling at people for saying his teeth are falling out from pills but “it’s from the soda”
I worked as a Nurse Aid in a trauma unit and literally people manipulate you and use the call button nonstop. And yes by law we need to respond, but unfortunately when you get people like Steven it makes my shift so much harder. In my unit I served half the floor at times because of understaffing which would be 60 patients. And then you get someone calling you to get their purse next to them and shuffle through their purse for a pen. It's frustrating because you want to help but you also need to promote their independence
The father in this situation played a huge part in how his son turned out, and all he does is try to pawn off responsibility for him, because he can't discipline his own kid
As a nurse I feel for these healthcare workers. The stress and the lack of staff makes it harder to deal with these kind of people. Patients need to understand that we are not working to serve people but to treat people.
I can heavily relate to the constant requesting of the nurse. We encourage independence to the fullest extent. On my unit, we have taken up to six critical patients per nurse. Care is a balancing act, and having a patient that is understanding of that makes a world of differenece!
It truly does! The place I work the residents are pretty patient and nice so I got lucky in that aspect but it always a catch 22 because the staff sucks. 😂
I had to go into the hospital last year for a total of 3 ½ weeks. I hated having to push that button because at the beginning, they had me on an external catheter & required me to call a nurse when I had to use the restroom. Almost every nurse was an absolute angel & I hated to bother them, but they also had me on Lasix & there was NO WAITING. I was embarrassed quite a few times on that stay because even though I'd call the nurses ahead of time & clearly explain what I needed assistance with, they didn't get to me in time, Almost every time. Even though I had that external catheter, it didn't stand a chance against all the excess fluid & the side effects of a high dosage iron pill... still I tried not to be a nuisance & I couldn't ever dream of yelling at them the way Steven did.
@@BeeTeePee you shouldn't feel that way because you had a serious situation going on which they should have made sure you were priority #1 since you had a catheter so I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
@sarahmccullum2880 thanks love. I tried to be as low maintenance as possible because I would be in my room & I could hear some of the other patients being just absolutely unbearable to the nurses & I always felt so bad.
@@BeeTeePee Girl im a cardiac nurse so I totally get the Lasix! I will always try my best to help my patients as quickly and as efficiently as possible!
I worked in a hospital for 3years and i can tell you respectfully, the very big heavy patients were always the ones who gave the nurses and and nurse assistants the hardest time during their stay.
God, I remember Steven. He was so aggressive and nasty to so many people and had his father wrapped around his little finger. He really needed some intensive psychological help, but I don't know if even that would have helped. I remember a commenter on a UA-cam upload of the show saying Steven might have had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, because of his facial features and the fact his mum was an alcoholic, and that it could explain his aggressive and violent behaviour. It was really a mess of a time - they did multiple episodes on him and his brother, and it really felt like they were taking severe advantage of an awful situation that needed actual intervention and not to be made into a spectacle on TV. It's so sad and scary.
The thing is, it's best for others that he doesn't get out of that bed. Imagine if he was walking around - he's either hurt someone or piss off the wrong person and get hurt himself.
@@creativechaosify I really don't even think it would be possible for him to get that mobile tbh. He did lose a lot of weight at one point, but even then was still bed bound, and eventually he just put weight back on. I don't think he has the mental capacity for it, and when I say he needed intensive help it wasn't really to get him to lose weight, but to at least have a modicum of control over his emotions so he doesn't keep abusing people. But like I said, idk if that would even work
@@kathybeasley1823 Certified Nursing Assistant. Basically, while nurses take care of medicine and things, Nursing assistants help patients with everyday things, like using the bathroom, showers, changing briefs, etc. At least the facility I work in, it’s usually the CNAs who answer call lights, not the nurses.
I remember this guy and I still hate him. He manipulated and controlled his brother. The brother was a sweet, kind, introverted guy whose goal in life was to open his own hobby shop. (I think he had a couple of vintage board games). I really hope the brother was able to cut Steven off and his hobby shop has become a reality.
If I was a nurse in that hospital, I would take my sweet ass time to respond to him. He’s like the boy who cried wolf and it’s going to catch up to him
I’ve been in the hospital multiple times. Your day is very planned out ahead of time. You know when your food is coming, you know when the person will be in to help you get washed up and dressed, you know when the doctor is coming and when your pain meds are coming. If you need a nurse for some other reason you need to understand that they may be dealing with patients who are much more ill than you and give them time. It does get annoying for them to answer the bell sometimes but just remember they are only one person and you are only one of their patients
im a med student and had to do nurse work for just a month and some of those patients were so insanely disrespectful to me it was crazy; luckily our Sister Rabiata was there to bring them down from their high horse and make them realize that theyre in a hospital and that nurses have more important work than bringing someone their tea
It's really rough having patients like these especially if you have a patient passing away or someone with high needs and you're constantly having to run back to put a buzzer off for nothing questions
Nurse here.. the amount of patients that I have had from every walk of life that act like this is astonishing.. you would think people like this are far and few between but sadly they are much more common than You would expect.. large part of the reason I left the field due to burn out. I could feel my compassion and empathy drain and you can’t be in that field without those 2 qualities, or at least you shouldn’t be.. now everyone annoys me..
Whenever anyone says they are "fustrated" like this guy, it annoys the hell out of me. When I was in the hospital I would wait with anything that wasn't an emergency until a nurse came in, and they kept telling me I should call more often, that I was sick and they were there to take care of me. There were many hugs and tears when I was released. Those nurses were amazing.
I was the same way with nurses the times I was in the hospital. They were actually worried because I wouldn’t press the call button. I didn’t want to be a bother to them.
I was in the hospital in January for my epilepsy, and I had to stay for about 4 days to be monitored. I ended up with a kidney stone (the only one I’ve ever had) because I felt bad about having to have a nurse come assist me to unhook my IV bag every time I had to go. Not that I was going more than usual or anything, but it was just the thought to me that the nurses had more important things to do than help me to the bathroom for four days. To see this guy just treat everyone like they’re his personal servants hurts my soul since I hate inconveniencing them and feel so bad about having them come to check on me or bring me my food so much.
Hospital officer here… unfortunately this behavior (and behavior much worse) is very frequent in today’s hospitals. And the sad part is that most of these people who cause these issues never have to pay their bill, yet the sweet grandma has to file bankruptcy because she is getting chemotherapy
I once saw a man, and he thought, he is an ambulance car, and was very loud during the night. But first of all, that's not something strange here in Germany, and secondly, he used his siren, so he has special privileges in emergency situations 🙂
The look of horror on their faces when the first clips of Steven comes on the screen 💀💀 I bought 2 cameos from this dude, he’s missing teeth and his hair is all weird now, and his inability to follow a script was hilarious
I am just surprised he's still alive. Some days I feel like I should just become an asshole because shitty people always seem to live forever. But then I couldn't even live with myself being that kind of person, so then I am like, nevermind. 😂
People like Steven and their family members, who often times are even more abusive, are the reason why I quit nursing after 18 years. Steven is gonna have some hellacious withdrawals after being on IV pain meds for months, too! Why he couldn’t take it by mouth is beyond me. If the doctor had changed his pain meds or threatened to stop them if his behavior didn’t stop, I’m betting he would’ve been singing a different tune.
Currently in the hospital. I almost passed out in the shower, hit the call button and waited patiently. They came and got a wheelchair to bring me back to my room; I apologized for needing assistance and thanked them for helping me. This dude is the scum of the earth.
I started volunteering at a hospital after having some amazing experiences with nurses (hospice workers when my grandfather passed away and I had surgery, both before I was 12). I was 14, helped in the pre op/post op stay rooms. I helped with various things, I remember that we would ask what was needed before sending someone to the rooms. If they needed water I would handle it, is it was something more complex a nurse would go. It helped save time, energy and the nurses didn’t have to deal with those little things. There weren’t volunteers on staff at all times but being able to lighten the load a little was something I really enjoyed.
"In the whole state of Rhode Island"... My brain immediately goes to an old Family Guy Episode where Peter's obese and carried around by a crane 😬🤭 *Also, what an Asshat! Those poor nurses. We loved all of our nurses during the births of our kids. One even said we were so low maintenance coming in to see us was like a little break.
I can’t believe you FINALLY did a video on Steven lmao I remember watching his years back and it was AWFUL haha idk how you’re JUST now finding this hahaha love y’all tho
I felt bad when I had to call the nurse because I was throwing up when I was hospitalized with preeclampsia right after my son was born. The meds they gave me to stop me from stroking out made me massively sick. Plus I was, also, on meds to pull fluids from my body because my body had so much built up fluid that it was compressing my heart and lungs. I seriously was in danger of dying and didn’t want to bother any of the nurses because I knew they were busy. I hate when people don’t have empathy for hard workers.
I remember being in the hospital, not able to stand or move, I would wait until a nurse came on their own to check vitals or something before asking for things like lights to be turned off and even then I felt like I was asking a lot. This guy is so frustrating.
Growing up my Mom was a nurse. She taught me to always respect hospital staff. She told me, if you do have a problem with a staff member, you need to speak with that person's supervisor. My first health crisis happened when I was 22. I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I have since had five surgeries for scoliosis. Then this past Nov 4, 2022 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have lost track of the number of times I have spent in the hospital or specialist office. However I never forgot what my Mom taught me about how to treat hospital staff. It makes your stay much more pleasant if you treat staff respectfully.
I’m hospitalized quite frequently due to health problems seeing someone treat nurses like this is revolting! I always treat my nurses like gold because they’re there to HELP you not be your servants. And I’ve had nurses even say to me the better you treat us the faster we come to you, the worse that you treat us the longer we will take. At the end of the day they’re humans and they deserve the utmost respect especially with all the other patients they may have.
As a former nurses assistant this guy is triggering me so badly. Where I worked I was so busy I was unable to sit for the entirety of my 12 hour shifts. Some patients have emergencies and we have to attend to them for long periods of time. Also if I'm in another room I can't hear or see an announcement that I'm needed. Most of these patients are super rude when you do come give them care too. Sir this is a hospital not a hotel. GAH just needed to vent
He is the reason I quit nursing to work with dogs. F that! Sooooo much happier! Its's not that the staff are pushovers, it's our job and we have to deal with this bs.
Whoo! Today is my Birthday so thanks! Lol Also it's always good to be nice to nurses, they go though a lot! All the times I had to be in the hospital I was always told I was one of their favorites for being nice to them. Saying please, and thank you, not raising your voice, and waiting your turn to get help should be a normal thing though, and not so rare. Thank you to all the nurses out there!
i had a piece of my spine removed and had to learn to walk again for a month inside the hospital... i fell in love with all of the angels there, helping me. i wouldnt dream of treating any of those people who were there to help me bad at all... makes me tear up that these people were treated bad by this horrible person.... they are THERE because they WANT to help people....
I work in Healthcare and this is how people think they can treat us and act towards us. They think they are the only patients we have and if we don't answer the second they call they will become angry and sometimes get violent. It's a problem that is over looked
I used to be a nurse and hospitals slowly starting to be perceived as HOTELS by people is a gigantic annoyance.
Last years i was hospitalisé 6 times and this years i was in the hospital from janiary31 to february 28 so i see à lot of stuff i live in Canada so here its free so à lot of People came for stupide stuff they complain to wait 12 hours at the emergency but go Just bécause they Hurt they wrist !!some give the nurse sh*t Just because théir food came 10mins late or because its à little cold !
Me the nurse was always telling me dont worrys you can push the button for help because i Never push it i was waiting somebody else was pushing it in the same room has me !! Sorry for the fault my phone is french like me lol so autocorector do wtv hé want haha
It blows my mind that people do that. Must have insurance. I couldn’t imagine spending $1,000+ for an ER visit just to sleep there and treat people like shut.
I guess with homeless people I can kinda get it, but just out right entitled people that drives me nuts.

If you've ever been in the hospital before and have tried to call the nurse, but they take forever to get there, this guy is the reason. There's usually a handful of nurses for each floor/unit and tons of patients. When you keep demanding their time and bugging them with phone calls, it keeps them from their duties with other patients. The entitlement is strong with this one.
Just going by your comment I'm gonna jump the gun and sayyou haven't been to a hospital or ED since before covid. We are drastically understaffed and we would love a handful nurses per floor. That doesn't always happen and usually isn't the case. I've worked where there was a max of 3 nurses per floor and lemme tell you, it's honestly the closest thing to hell I can imagine. I love my job but even one call out can ruin a 12 hour shift. /end rant. Sorry.
@@xGhouI you're correct. The last time I spent significant time in a hospital was pre-covid. My overall point here was that needy patients like this are the reason why it feels like it takes forever to get anyone to answer your calls. I think it was absolutely justified to kick him out and tell him not to come back.
@@firehawk2324 on the subject of pt like that guy, did you know they just recently had to put signs up that it's a crime to assault the medical staff? How fcked is that
@@xGhouI so, they have to point out common sense? Sad.
@@firehawk2324 yup. Apparently enough of us got assaulted and had to call out due to injury that they had to put signs up
As a nurse, just FYI, the reason it often takes us a long time to respond to call bells is because we are dangerously understaffed and have to treat people based on priority. If theres a patient showing signs of heart failure or stroke and other emergent things they are first, then theres the people who need specific nurse/doctor procedures attended to, and a patient screaming to turn off a light is right at the bottom. and we will still try to come over with a smile and our utmost care before we are called back to the next emergency 😓
Id end up behind bars for throttling a patient lmao
I also cant trust a call light of a pt who screams at me every time I answer to it lol . If you are pressing the call light because you need actual help I will be there as fast as I possibly can , but if you're pressing it because lunch is five seconds late , you best know I am caring for my other patients first lol
I’m sorry you guys have to deal with this! Respect and kindness should always be shown, ESPECIALLY to those who help save our lives. Thanks for all that you do ❤
The real ones know this and wait patiently 💕
I have a question; when patients call in are they also ranked depending on their situation/call? That is what I think happens. Yet I don't want to assume. (This is my husband's account)
I'm SO HAPPY to see a Doctor stand up for his nurses. Nurses are seriously underrated, overworked and underpaid for what they do! anytime I've gone to the hospital (Canada, mind you) they've always been so sweet, informative and kind.
Hell yeah, I totally agree. Dr. Now is awesome! We need more doctors like him.
not all nurses are like that. plenty are abusive especially towards the disabled and elderly.
I want to the mental health ward in a hospital for like two weeks. Some of the nurses were the worst but there were some that were so genuinely amazing and made me feel so cared for and validated. One sat me through a panic attack and another was just so motherly and it melted my heart. With any profession I think some are great some some arnt so much. But honestly I love and respect all the nurses out there cause it can't be an easy job
I'm sure they're not underpaid of all things
@@bob-nm3tj" i'm sure" do your search first
“I gotta wait on everything” THATS BECAUSE YOU ATE YOURSELF INTO IMMOBILITY-
Hell, it ain't even that. The nurses have other patients to tend to as well and I doubt he was the highest priority there.
I'm reading that in my paternal grandfather's really thick Irish accent and it's just KILLING me.
@AJDaniels5298 LMFAO the irish accent makes everything 100000× better honestly 😂❤
That poor nurse (the one who had to clean up the urine) sounded like she was just about ready to cry. Honestly, why be rude to the people who were LITERALLY able to kill you and make it look like an accident?
You saying this shit right here is why nobody trusts nurses. Cut it out. Most nurses don't even know how to fake their own medical certificates, let alone get away with a perfect murder.
Lol, good point?
Right like she could pull the plug and say she tripped on it because he was demanding so much medicine 😂
Hearing that nurse on the verge of tears hurt me so much. That guy doesn't deserve the help he got
Because that's the long-shot hope. He has no access to the means to do it. So he needs to motivate someone to hate him enough to do it for him.
Love a My 600lb Life reaction. This guy was beyond help, rude and abusive towards Dr Now’s staff. No one deserves that.

I went to the ER because of a seizure, I’ve never met people so incredibly grateful because I plugged a loose EKG sensor back in place a few times, so they didn’t have to rush over. That ER didn’t have any food, so they gave me a nurses home cooked lunch. Respect, humility & kindness goes a long way.
Hope you're doing better now!!
Its wild that they didnt even have a kitchen installed in 2024 but i believe it
Steven: I can’t believe this is happening to me.
It’s not happening to you bud, it’s happening because of you.
Nurses saved my life when I had a baby and to see them treated so poorly really angers me. Nurses deserve so much more.
Same here. Even though I have been at my worst because I'm literally in the hospital, I could never imagine treating another human being like that .
Same here the nurses who helped my have my son and kept me from having unnecessary surgery are a blessing. The staff did not deserve it at all
My sister in law is a nurse, and I have nothing but the highest respect for her and other nurses
Agreed, nurses and teachers both.
Nurses, teacher and caretaker are the foundation of socity and should be treated as such
Nurses are so underrated it’s insane! People like Steven treat them like shit but they deserve so much more respect!
And so are us CNAs since we have constant contact with the patients/ residents.
That one nurse sounded like she was about to cry..
The best way to respect the nurses is by staying away, lower the workload by living healthy.
I don’t want more respect I want more money! The amount of work is not paid enough. Heck, I’d argue doctors aren’t paid enough. All positions in healthcare put in an absurd amount of training and work.
@@sarahmccullum2880 cnas are my best friends fr fr. Yall make my shifts somewhat manageable. When you’re understaffed I’m not having a good day.
From working in the medical field, it’s extremely annoying to deal with patients that constantly press that button for no reason. Most of them are bored and lonely and use it as a way to have human interaction, but they fail to take into consideration all the other patients needs.
One of the reasons I was pretty unwilling to press the help button for stuff like a glass of water, when I had my appendicitis. Knew for a fact I wasn't suffering like other people there.
At the start of the pandemic I was hospitalized for a bacterial infection in my bowels. The only time I pressed the button is because I had a major panic attack because I was scared to be away from home and I have emetophobia and was so sick I kept throwing up (which made me panic even more).
The day I could leave, the doctor would do his final check-in with me, they gave me a time and I waited for more than 1.5 hours w/o pressing the button, because I WAS BETTER. And other people in there needed the help sooner than me, because I got to go home.
The way Steven only thinks about himself and disregards the feelings of other patients, nevermind the staff, is BEYOND me. Truly an occupation you do out of love. Not money or respect. Geez.
I’m pretty sure he does it because he enjoys the attention- positive or negative. Looking at his smug face as people struggle to move his ass is proof beyond.
Maye they need like a robot that can talk and hold conversations.
I had to use to call button since I couldn't walk at the time I was ignored by the nurses as they thought since I was in my early 20s at the time I was faking it I almost pissed myself waiting for my mom to get their in the morning so I could go she had to help me up to the bathroom. When a nurse did show up they were very irritated with having to help me, I was 22 year old woman at the time I truly don't want to take a piss in front of a nurse and I hated how they thought I just wanted attention it was a smack in the face on an already humiliating experience.
That nurse aounded so close to tears....i hope she finds happiness in whatever shes doing now
I literally raged quit watching the episodes of him. He made me so mad. It did turn out he was addicted to his pain meds too.
Might sound cruel but at least addiction helps lose some of that way…..😞😞😞😫😫😫
@@marzthescum3113 When someone is addicted to meds, or really any substance, those take priority over things like food, water, sleep, safety, etc.
The chemistry in your brain literally makes your body prioritize the meds/substance over the things you need to survive, so it makes you start to lose weight and become sick/gaunt/weak and pale because you aren't taking care of your basic physical needs. 😬
Addiction is gnarly, and people don't realize how it takes over everything in your life, and it becomes the only thing your body craves to survive even over food and water.
As a home health nurse, I had 2 patients who were this size, but they lived alone and were the polar opposite of the guy!! They did take issue with a few nurses and requested me (even when I was sent to work a different area), so I saw them for years. If I was running late, they just told me “It’s ok… please just be careful!!” This guy and Tammy give people suffering from obesity a bad name.
That leg condition is pretty common for them. It’s called lymphedema and can cause stasis ulcers like he had on his ankle.
U are so far the only nurse who hasn’t said anything disturbing on these comments. Thank you for not talking crap about your patients. You are clearly a good nurse and we need more nurses like you.
a lot of people become obese due to mental health struggles and p much eating their feelings. it makes sense that the majority are generally kind - and self-conscious
i'm glad you are such a good nurse
Thank you for speaking out about your patients, Nurse Joy 🙏
You sound like an absolute joy :)
Not discrediting anything you’re saying & thank you for being a nurse!!! Much love. But just wanted to give Tammy some credit here! She got the surgery and seems to be up and moving on social media. So happy she turned her attitude around.
Steven is a mess but he made Dr. Now say some epic stuff. "Why you do weird things?" "Have you ever heard of soap and water? I have people back there puking from the smell." "What in the world is wrong with you?"
It needed to be said 💯
The dr isn’t so great himself he’s too old and needs to retire. Bedside manner is important regardless if the patient is a jerk. My grandma was head nurse and she had tons of rude patients but she….had good bedside manner. That’s a requirement for anyone working in the medical field if you’re dealing with patients.
@@nicolette1598 If you're being respectful & trying, yes. If you're being harmful & manipulative, no.
@@FurbyParade226 you don’t get it. A doctors job is to lose the emotion, insecurity and do their job. This is why you aren’t a doctor honey you mentally aren’t equipped to do that which is why you don’t comprehend why it’s an issue. For example I have very expensive health insurance blue cross blue shield…these doctors especially the ones who specialize in certain things like this guy does are paid millions……so someone has expensive insurance and is rude well there’s two options… ignore them or do your job. He is a weak human if he can’t brush off what a pathetic man who can barely move, who is also being humiliated on tv says. You appear to be someone who values their petty opinions and feelings too much.
Big difference between nurses and doctors
"I gotta wait for everything" well yeah, that's what happens when you eat yourself to the point you are completely dependant on others
It’s hard to imagine treating healthcare workers like this, especially in his condition when he’s completely dependent on them. I am full of “thank you”, “sorry to bother”, and “I appreciate your help so much” everytime I’ve ever needed medical care. So gross to treat them the way he does
He’s clearly lived his whole life rarely (if ever) being told “no” and thankfully the hospitals are not tolerating his mindset. I wonder if it only went on for multiple months for the show and how long it would take in a non-televised case for a hospital to kick someone this toxic and abusive out.
I think Maybe it Will take longer for à non televise patient because here they have proof on video that is abusive to the nurse and help nurse but for à regular patient they have no real évidence that is abusive to them but Maybe im wrong
Seen a couple of these before. Most recent one was hilarious to me as a bystander. Dude was yelling at the top of his lungs so i could hear him through our closed doors. And yet, this dude has the audacity to complain to the staff that they are trying to embarrass him by having his door left open to “allow everyone to hear what his dr has to say.”
Steven has been on multiple episodes of “My 600 lb Life” and he has not changed. He is a complete diva every time he’s on the show and every time Dr. Now kicks him out.
What’s insane is the first time Steven was on the show, he was with his brother. His brother did everything he was suppose to do, got the surgery, owns a hobby shop, and is living life away from his brother and father.
Good for the brother, he did great, getting away from them might be the best call he could have made
Good for the brother hope he continues to succeed
Excellent tactic. Sell yourself as a duo to get on the show then take all the steps and help you need to improve, then shut out your toxic family and live happily.

My mom is a respiratory therapist and the amount of people she talks about that treat her hospital like a hotel is uncalled for.
I'm a retired RN and have had a couple of truly outrageous, impossible patients like this tool. We just got a very, very small glimpse...you know this guy was on that light day and night...the staff were probably all threatening to quit, and I know they dreaded dealing with that abusive behavior.
But you know what sounds like you dealt with it the right way. More than I can say for many other nurses in these comments. It seems there is such a high number of new nurses especially the two year degree ones….and it’s really putting a stain on their chosen career as many of them do not care about the patients, lack empathy and are beyond cruel. I have blue cross blue shield platinum and i don’t like talking about it but something really odd was happening that needed to be removed/checked. I was wearing a playboy hoodie and sweatpants…the nurse told me I didn’t have health insurance even tho I gave her my id to check, when I called my insurance because I paid out of pocket they open d up a discrimination claim against her because she never even checked, she just disliked that I had platinum blonde hair and playboy sweater on. She probably lost her job but still…it’s people like that that make me fear nurses. This other girl who is a friend of my friends is a nurse and claims “she doesn’t want to help homeless people because they’re gross”……oh and btw she has three friends who are also nurses, exhibit the same behavior and two of the three are…strippers who are addicted to drugs. The one literally steals drugs from the hospital and does it with one of the doctors…..🤦♀️ my grandma was a nurse and she was so wonderful that they made a scholarship for future nurses in her name. I really wish all the good nurses like you and her didn’t retire because oh boy hospitals scare me now lol
@@nicolette1598 I am sorry for your bad experiences but I also do think that those have given you a rather negative bias towards nurses as a whole which I don't find very fair. And you spreading such a negative view and generalizing them all like that isn't helping. Being a nurse is an incredibly demanding job, both physically and mentally, and they do get a lot of unjust shit already. I really don't think most nurses, nor the ones in the comments who vent a bit in a general senses about dealing with similar patients like the guy in this video, are necessarily bad nurses. It is a fact that it simply sucks to be yelled at while you're literally running yourself ragged. We're all only human. It's no different from a customer service worker getting annoyed at a Karen but the sad part is if it's a patient, especially one that's staying for a long time, dealing with them is not just done and over with quickly. You're stuck dealing with it. Day in, day out. Being a good nurse doesn't mean being okay with being treated like dirt. I am not saying there are not bad ones out there. There are. But, there's shitty people in every profession, as well as how there will always be shitty patients health care workers will have to deal with. Both suck. That's just the bottom line. Yet, there's also plenty of good nurses and plenty of grateful patients, too.

@@nicolette1598 a TON of great nurses quit very early on to get out of bedside care. Its extremely abusive and downright dangerous. My mom (Paramedic/EMT/E.R. Nurse of 20 or so years.) Has been stabbed with a fork, had chairs thrown at her, was punched REPEATEDLY, and thats just a few of the things that happened to her. Management at a lot of hospitals are NOT like dr. now, they dont care to protect you and will definitely punish you if you try to refuse a violent assignment.
I did CNA work for about a year in an LTC, in that time I was spit on, had urine thrown at me, i was punched several times by multiple patients, I was touched underneath my scrub top by a patient, I was kicked, i had coffee thrown at me, sometimes food trays. I had one patient attempt to hit me with her bedpan. The verbal abuse alone was insane.
I started that work because I wanted to help people, i had taken care of my grandma and it meant something to me to take care of other people loved ones. But just a few weeks in I realized a lot of these patients are just downroght hateful and management will do absolutely nada to protect us. There were 12 people in my starting week, they were all incredibly kind and had the right motives. There is not a single one of us left. There was one travel nurse I adored who would help with my overload of patients (11-22pts depending on callouts. There were always call outs.) and gave me tylenol when I had a kidney infection and didnt know it yet. I got to work 4 shifts with her and then she never came back. When we are expected to tolerate horrible horrible treatment with a smile, we lose all of our good people. The only ones left lack empathy, because they have to to make it through the day. If we treated the staff better from the get go, especially post covid, we wouldnt be in this situation. This is a problem of the publics making.

Some people need to understand, you CAN get blacklisted from hospitals, and hospitals will warn others of who and why the person got blacklisted. The hospitals that turned him away, knew he was trouble.

I'm almost 100% sure that this is the guy who got addicted to the pain meds, gained all the weight he lost after the surgery and ended up getting his family to get him Mrs and get high.
I remember how he treated his own brother, who was his polar opposite and seemed like an actually decent person. I hope his brother is doing okay.
His brother is doing better, he did everything Doctor No wanted, got the procedure approved and now owns a hobby shop.
@@ritterdesimperiums7655 that’s awesome! So good to hear it.
8:06 The way how the light goes off when he says “Turn This Light Off!!!” kills me everytime 🤣
As a dayshift nurse in the hospital on a medsurg floor, thank you for recognizing how busy we are. 💜
Every shift we are understaffed. Pain medicine is set by the doctor and is given when the patient requests it (within the time frame the doctor set usually every 4 to 6 hours, definitely not available every 15 minutes) we could lose our licenses by giving pain meds without the patient requesting it every time. There are many times we have 6 patients at a time with some discharging and new patients coming in, many 12 hour shifts I do not even have the chance to pee let alone eat or drink.
When a patient keeps calling, we do our best to cluster care in order to provide care to every patient.
Its treatment from patients like him that nurses burnout and quit the industry. We also deal with being verbally and physically assaulted by patients and visitors. Once saw a fellow nurse who was pregnant get punched in the neck by a patient. No reprimand to the patient, coworker ended up being okay but that behavior should not be tolerated.
Good on Dr. Now for discharging him. Hospitals are meant to help people, and if someone is not compliant that room can be used for someone else in need who sincerely wants the help.
when i had back surgury there was a little pump and a button that I could hit to self-administer the painkiller. It was on a timer so you couldn't OD. I think I only hit the call nurse button about twice during my entire week I was at the hospital.
I’m chronically ill (vascular ehlers danlos syndrome, mcas, pots, high output ileostomy are my main issues) and have been hospitalized a bunch, the medsurg floor is always so so so busy . I learned a long time ago that you don’t want to be the one that the nurses are focused on bc that means you’re having an emergent issue, or some other complications. Stephen makes people like myself who suffer with debilitating pain like addicts. Thank you so much for what you do, I respect nurses so much and have only ever had a few “bad” nurses but the majority are amazing humans. You are an amazing human ❤
I remember being in the ER waiting for help and my mom (who is a nurse) had to not only take my vitals, she had to check my IV and other things… I’m starting to think people like him are the reason the nurses were overwhelmed
One of the many reasons they are overwhelmed at the moment 😕 on top of staff shortages, unhelpful management etc. people really need to think before they press the button for help as awful as it sounds
ERs are overflowing with people who do not need to in the ER and tools like this guy. That why people who actually need help have to wait longer.
As a nurse, this behaviour gets under my skin. I had a falling out with family after I confronted the negative behaviour toward hospital staff when my grandmother was in the hospital. If my grandma had been aware of that behaviour, she would have been so disappointed in those family members.
Steven is such a miserable human being. I feel for him to a certain extent. However, he's not tried to get better then takes it out on everyone around him.
Mental health is like this. Until he gets out of his victim mentality he will be stuck. It sucks but only he can save himself.
@@FayieElphis absolutely agree. Been there.
Better person than I. I don’t feel one bit for him at all, and that’s saying a lot.
Don't. He was so much worse than it shows. He would throw the urinals at staff and scream like a toddler if you tried to say anything he didn't like. If you didn't answer his call light, he would bombard the hospital and nurses station with phone calls from his cell phone. Constantly had mountains of food delivery showing up for him that he already paid for on an app.
@@hippybag ugh. I remember the pee. He made that poor nurse cry.
I used to be a PDA (Patient Dinning Assistant) and you’re right Ken I used to be the only person on shift for a WHOLE hospital. Placing orders, printing tickets, PLUS handling new patients in the middle of passing out food. It’s just a real hassle sometimes and patience is appreciated.
The "fall precautions" sign looks like Gerard Butler just kicked the man down the stairs after yelling that this was Sparta.
Someone this deeply psychologically flawed and entitled has been trained to be this way by his parents/caretakers his whole life. “Oh my precious baby boy! What do you need my sweet boy?”
His dad has unintentionally signed his death warrant using love and kindness as a pen
Excellent metaphor!
100% true. He also favored Steven over his brother a lot and let Steven bully him all the time and let him even take his pain meds from him. The dad is as bad as he is not hard to see who he gets it from.
You should be a poet lol
While I agree to a degree and that the dad is definitely also the enabler, I also feel that when you wind up in your 30s there comes a point where an intelligent person will use their brain and realize what they're doing is wrong and start to do some serious self-reflecting. Especially after being kicked out of others with this hospital being his last resort. Epecially after he's been given fair warnings in this hospital, to boot. He's a grown ass man now so he definitely is also responsible for his own actions at this point. And he chose to be... like this.
That ain’t kindness man. That’s codependent enabling!
God he's ridiculous. I get annoyed with myself when I ask nurses for ice water more than once lol and he's just doing the most and being so rude.
If you drink a lot of water, consider asking for a pitcher or several cups at once. I definitely never minded doing that for my patients and it usually saved me 2 to 3 trips back and forth per patient. Everybody wins!
Ps. I do the same thing at restuarants because I drink a LOT of water.
I've unfortunately had to go to the hospital far more times than most people due to kidney failure and a weak immune system. And every time regardless of the pain I am in, I always am polite to all of the staff. One time I remember the nurse telling me she was sad to see me back so soon but glad to have been reassigned to me as I wans a easy patient to work with. If you treat them with respect, they too will return that respect. Thank you to all of those that keep the hospitals running.
post partum, there was a huge air bubble in my IV and the machine started going crazy. I called a nurse and she left me mid-way to help another mom who's stitches busted open, and told me to call her if the air bubble got too close to my arm. lmao she eventually came back and stopped it. she told me the hospitals were so understaffed everyone had more patients than they could really bare. i cant imagine acting entitled in a care area. alot of those ppl work so damn hard
Were u watching it, and did you plan on pulling the iv if it got 2 close?
i pinched the line lmao i was too scared to pull it, because itd taken soo many tries of them sticking me to get a vein. i was crashing with clampsia and had taken 2 rounds of mag at this point, i could barely stand or take myself to pee@@clark2491
the bubble wouldn't do anything to you
@@barborabarusova4790 Lady have you ever heard of “venous air embolism”? Google it and you might learn something.
@@barborabarusova4790 they can actually. Thats why it's important to not inject air into the vein when giving a shot etc. Sure it's not common, but it's something not to mess around with. That's why with my autoinjection I get told to not use it if there is air bubbles.
I saw him on a TikTok live almost a year ago begging for money and yelling at people for saying his teeth are falling out from pills but “it’s from the soda”
I worked as a Nurse Aid in a trauma unit and literally people manipulate you and use the call button nonstop. And yes by law we need to respond, but unfortunately when you get people like Steven it makes my shift so much harder. In my unit I served half the floor at times because of understaffing which would be 60 patients. And then you get someone calling you to get their purse next to them and shuffle through their purse for a pen. It's frustrating because you want to help but you also need to promote their independence
The father in this situation played a huge part in how his son turned out, and all he does is try to pawn off responsibility for him, because he can't discipline his own kid
He's not a kid anymore. The father should run.
11:14 That poor woman made me sad. She just sounds so defeated.
*"I WANT THIS LIGHT OFF!!!!"*
Yeah, hurry up and turn off the light, Slave Leia! :3
“If I act like a child, I want you to treat me like a child” okay, then we’re calling your dad and you’re going home. He can deal with you.
Those poor nurses, they deserve much more respect and kindness
As a nurse I feel for these healthcare workers. The stress and the lack of staff makes it harder to deal with these kind of people. Patients need to understand that we are not working to serve people but to treat people.
I can heavily relate to the constant requesting of the nurse. We encourage independence to the fullest extent. On my unit, we have taken up to six critical patients per nurse. Care is a balancing act, and having a patient that is understanding of that makes a world of differenece!
It truly does! The place I work the residents are pretty patient and nice so I got lucky in that aspect but it always a catch 22 because the staff sucks. 😂
I had to go into the hospital last year for a total of 3 ½ weeks. I hated having to push that button because at the beginning, they had me on an external catheter & required me to call a nurse when I had to use the restroom. Almost every nurse was an absolute angel & I hated to bother them, but they also had me on Lasix & there was NO WAITING. I was embarrassed quite a few times on that stay because even though I'd call the nurses ahead of time & clearly explain what I needed assistance with, they didn't get to me in time, Almost every time. Even though I had that external catheter, it didn't stand a chance against all the excess fluid & the side effects of a high dosage iron pill... still I tried not to be a nuisance & I couldn't ever dream of yelling at them the way Steven did.
@@BeeTeePee you shouldn't feel that way because you had a serious situation going on which they should have made sure you were priority #1 since you had a catheter so I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
@sarahmccullum2880 thanks love. I tried to be as low maintenance as possible because I would be in my room & I could hear some of the other patients being just absolutely unbearable to the nurses & I always felt so bad.
@@BeeTeePee Girl im a cardiac nurse so I totally get the Lasix! I will always try my best to help my patients as quickly and as efficiently as possible!
I worked in a hospital for 3years and i can tell you respectfully, the very big heavy patients were always the ones who gave the nurses and and nurse assistants the hardest time during their stay.
im almost 100% positive that the lights can be controlled by the same remote he is using to call the nurse
Yes! In most places they can, but I don't think they can be fully turned off.
God, I remember Steven. He was so aggressive and nasty to so many people and had his father wrapped around his little finger. He really needed some intensive psychological help, but I don't know if even that would have helped. I remember a commenter on a UA-cam upload of the show saying Steven might have had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, because of his facial features and the fact his mum was an alcoholic, and that it could explain his aggressive and violent behaviour.
It was really a mess of a time - they did multiple episodes on him and his brother, and it really felt like they were taking severe advantage of an awful situation that needed actual intervention and not to be made into a spectacle on TV. It's so sad and scary.
The thing is, it's best for others that he doesn't get out of that bed. Imagine if he was walking around - he's either hurt someone or piss off the wrong person and get hurt himself.
@@creativechaosify I really don't even think it would be possible for him to get that mobile tbh. He did lose a lot of weight at one point, but even then was still bed bound, and eventually he just put weight back on. I don't think he has the mental capacity for it, and when I say he needed intensive help it wasn't really to get him to lose weight, but to at least have a modicum of control over his emotions so he doesn't keep abusing people. But like I said, idk if that would even work
I agree with fetal alcohol syndrome theory. He has some kind of mental disability.

@@kathybeasley1823 Certified Nursing Assistant. Basically, while nurses take care of medicine and things, Nursing assistants help patients with everyday things, like using the bathroom, showers, changing briefs, etc. At least the facility I work in, it’s usually the CNAs who answer call lights, not the nurses.
@@Kate-kh9wwWe have ward boys in Indian hospitals to clean the patients, hold up urine jugs to help them piss if they are too sick to go to bathroom
I remember this guy and I still hate him. He manipulated and controlled his brother. The brother was a sweet, kind, introverted guy whose goal in life was to open his own hobby shop. (I think he had a couple of vintage board games). I really hope the brother was able to cut Steven off and his hobby shop has become a reality.
“If I act like a kid I want you to treat me like a kid”
Alright staff, grab the belt and take away that iPad!

It's already caught up to him
Steven walked so Nikacado could run 😂😂
More like Steven waddled so nickacado can roll
I’ve been in the hospital multiple times. Your day is very planned out ahead of time. You know when your food is coming, you know when the person will be in to help you get washed up and dressed, you know when the doctor is coming and when your pain meds are coming. If you need a nurse for some other reason you need to understand that they may be dealing with patients who are much more ill than you and give them time. It does get annoying for them to answer the bell sometimes but just remember they are only one person and you are only one of their patients
Yep. It is different than my home routine, which makes my neurodivergence go bananapants.
Steven: "Everybody has feelings."
Dr. Now: "... Uh, yeah... that's true..."
🤣🤣🤣
im a med student and had to do nurse work for just a month and some of those patients were so insanely disrespectful to me it was crazy; luckily our Sister Rabiata was there to bring them down from their high horse and make them realize that theyre in a hospital and that nurses have more important work than bringing someone their tea
Reasons why I never pursued that field sick people seem to forget their manners
It's really rough having patients like these especially if you have a patient passing away or someone with high needs and you're constantly having to run back to put a buzzer off for nothing questions
Nurse here.. the amount of patients that I have had from every walk of life that act like this is astonishing.. you would think people like this are far and few between but sadly they are much more common than You would expect.. large part of the reason I left the field due to burn out. I could feel my compassion and empathy drain and you can’t be in that field without those 2 qualities, or at least you shouldn’t be.. now everyone annoys me..
its called PTSD.burnout.
Whenever anyone says they are "fustrated" like this guy, it annoys the hell out of me.
When I was in the hospital I would wait with anything that wasn't an emergency until a nurse came in, and they kept telling me I should call more often, that I was sick and they were there to take care of me. There were many hugs and tears when I was released. Those nurses were amazing.
I was the same way with nurses the times I was in the hospital. They were actually worried because I wouldn’t press the call button. I didn’t want to be a bother to them.
So many people now are just fine with speaking like toddlers, it’s insane
I was in the hospital in January for my epilepsy, and I had to stay for about 4 days to be monitored. I ended up with a kidney stone (the only one I’ve ever had) because I felt bad about having to have a nurse come assist me to unhook my IV bag every time I had to go. Not that I was going more than usual or anything, but it was just the thought to me that the nurses had more important things to do than help me to the bathroom for four days. To see this guy just treat everyone like they’re his personal servants hurts my soul since I hate inconveniencing them and feel so bad about having them come to check on me or bring me my food so much.
Hospital officer here… unfortunately this behavior (and behavior much worse) is very frequent in today’s hospitals. And the sad part is that most of these people who cause these issues never have to pay their bill, yet the sweet grandma has to file bankruptcy because she is getting chemotherapy
I once saw a man, and he thought, he is an ambulance car, and was very loud during the night. But first of all, that's not something strange here in Germany, and secondly, he used his siren, so he has special privileges in emergency situations 🙂
The look of horror on their faces when the first clips of Steven comes on the screen 💀💀 I bought 2 cameos from this dude, he’s missing teeth and his hair is all weird now, and his inability to follow a script was hilarious
I am just surprised he's still alive. Some days I feel like I should just become an asshole because shitty people always seem to live forever. But then I couldn't even live with myself being that kind of person, so then I am like, nevermind. 😂
i think we all know why his dad wanted to get him into a new facility so fast lol

I’ve worked in healthcare for close to 5 years and this type of person is why hospitals and clinics are so understaffed.
I used to work in a hospital as a healthcare assistant, this guy is the worst.
Respect to the ward staff for putting up with his shit for so long.
People like Steven and their family members, who often times are even more abusive, are the reason why I quit nursing after 18 years.
Steven is gonna have some hellacious withdrawals after being on IV pain meds for months, too! Why he couldn’t take it by mouth is beyond me. If the doctor had changed his pain meds or threatened to stop them if his behavior didn’t stop, I’m betting he would’ve been singing a different tune.
this dude would straight up be a serial killer if he could actually get out of bed.
I totally agree. He’s scary.
He's already a cereal killer

@@SynVT_BAHAHAHAHAH?? THATS ATROCIOUS BRO 😭

Currently in the hospital. I almost passed out in the shower, hit the call button and waited patiently. They came and got a wheelchair to bring me back to my room; I apologized for needing assistance and thanked them for helping me.
This dude is the scum of the earth.
I started volunteering at a hospital after having some amazing experiences with nurses (hospice workers when my grandfather passed away and I had surgery, both before I was 12). I was 14, helped in the pre op/post op stay rooms. I helped with various things, I remember that we would ask what was needed before sending someone to the rooms. If they needed water I would handle it, is it was something more complex a nurse would go. It helped save time, energy and the nurses didn’t have to deal with those little things. There weren’t volunteers on staff at all times but being able to lighten the load a little was something I really enjoyed.
This guy never heard The Boy Who Cried Wolf as a kid and clearly got everything he wanted.

My brain immediately goes to an old Family Guy Episode where Peter's obese and carried around by a crane 😬🤭
*Also, what an Asshat! Those poor nurses. We loved all of our nurses during the births of our kids. One even said we were so low maintenance coming in to see us was like a little break.

As a nurse, I really appreciate the people sympathetic to the nurses.
Dr. Now is a badass! He doesn't put up with any trash at all.
I can’t believe you FINALLY did a video on Steven lmao I remember watching his years back and it was AWFUL haha idk how you’re JUST now finding this hahaha love y’all tho
I felt bad when I had to call the nurse because I was throwing up when I was hospitalized with preeclampsia right after my son was born. The meds they gave me to stop me from stroking out made me massively sick. Plus I was, also, on meds to pull fluids from my body because my body had so much built up fluid that it was compressing my heart and lungs. I seriously was in danger of dying and didn’t want to bother any of the nurses because I knew they were busy. I hate when people don’t have empathy for hard workers.
I remember being in the hospital, not able to stand or move, I would wait until a nurse came on their own to check vitals or something before asking for things like lights to be turned off and even then I felt like I was asking a lot. This guy is so frustrating.
Growing up my Mom was a nurse. She taught me to always respect hospital staff. She told me, if you do have a problem with a staff member, you need to speak with that person's supervisor.
My first health crisis happened when I was 22. I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I have since had five surgeries for scoliosis. Then this past Nov 4, 2022 I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I have lost track of the number of times I have spent in the hospital or specialist office. However I never forgot what my Mom taught me about how to treat hospital staff.
It makes your stay much more pleasant if you treat staff respectfully.
What a great sociopath. Can’t do anything involving moving but still gets his way.
I’m hospitalized quite frequently due to health problems seeing someone treat nurses like this is revolting! I always treat my nurses like gold because they’re there to HELP you not be your servants. And I’ve had nurses even say to me the better you treat us the faster we come to you, the worse that you treat us the longer we will take. At the end of the day they’re humans and they deserve the utmost respect especially with all the other patients they may have.
Tammy seems so sweet and kind now.
As a former nurses assistant this guy is triggering me so badly. Where I worked I was so busy I was unable to sit for the entirety of my 12 hour shifts. Some patients have emergencies and we have to attend to them for long periods of time. Also if I'm in another room I can't hear or see an announcement that I'm needed. Most of these patients are super rude when you do come give them care too. Sir this is a hospital not a hotel. GAH just needed to vent
He is the reason I quit nursing to work with dogs. F that! Sooooo much happier! Its's not that the staff are pushovers, it's our job and we have to deal with this bs.
Whoo! Today is my Birthday so thanks! Lol
Also it's always good to be nice to nurses, they go though a lot! All the times I had to be in the hospital I was always told I was one of their favorites for being nice to them. Saying please, and thank you, not raising your voice, and waiting your turn to get help should be a normal thing though, and not so rare. Thank you to all the nurses out there!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Imagine having to deal with this piece of human garbage for 3 months. I wouldn't be able to tolerate him for 3 minutes
i had a piece of my spine removed and had to learn to walk again for a month inside the hospital... i fell in love with all of the angels there, helping me. i wouldnt dream of treating any of those people who were there to help me bad at all... makes me tear up that these people were treated bad by this horrible person.... they are THERE because they WANT to help people....
I work in Healthcare and this is how people think they can treat us and act towards us. They think they are the only patients we have and if we don't answer the second they call they will become angry and sometimes get violent. It's a problem that is over looked
I'm so glad the Dr kicked him out, the entitlement on this guy is unbelievable!
