My stepdad survied his first heart attack because my mom overdosed him with asprain. Its the type of heart attack known as a Widow Maker, the ones that under normal circumstances would be unsurvivable. As he was having chest pains, my mom slipped him asprain every so often and then realized what was going on, so she took like a handful and gave it to him. If anyone else had been there, it would have looked like she was trying to kill him. Like i said, the doctors told her that had she not overdosed him with it, he wouldnt be there today. He would have died of a heart attack in our home if it wasnt for my mom. Shes no longer with us, that happened when i was 8 or 9 and she passed away from cancer when i was 12. She was a good mom. Since that point my dad has had 2-3 other heart attacks and survived Covid so im safe to say at this point he might be invincible
Mine drove himself to the hospital while having the Widow Maker....... He didn't call me until he was being moved upstairs from the ER. He didn't know he had survived the WM until he saw our PCP a week later. We've been doing this since October 1999. He has a "go" bag that stays mostly packed at all times. He's been to the cath lab 19 times, is on his 6th pacer/defib device, his enzyme labs have never shown any evidence of heart attacks, and we honestly don't know how many he's had. He had a cath through his wrist back in 2002 when it was still experimental. It's common now. He was also the guinea pig for surgical techniques and post-op care techniques. Once, his defib device went off 6 times; he was conscious for five of those shocks. I don't jump anymore until I have reason to. People think I'm being insensitive when they are upset about their loved one going into the cath lab. It's almost outpatient these days, and a LOT has changed from the 90s/00s in cardiac procedures. Pacer/defibs replacements are outpatient - they simply unplug the old battery and plug in a new one. Boom. Done. It takes about an hour from prep to back into recovery and about an hour or so until discharge. Oh, and he drives himself home most of the time after Cath Lab trips. I can't stop him.
Had an elderly man come into the ER. He walks in the EMS door and asks for help bringing in his unresponsive wife. She has no pulse. Later when asked why he drove instead of getting an ambulance, he said that she had chest pains but didn't want an ambulance. So they got in the car. As they were driving, she leaned against the passenger door. He decided to drive more carefully because she was probably resting. She had another heart attack in the car and died. He just seemed so worn out, tired. He accepted that she was dead and cried silently. I felt so sorry for him, for his loss.
@@mattie3867 EMTs in ambulances have equipment you know that right? It's not about speed- they have the proper tools that would have prevented that however in the U.S the prices are ridiculous...so we often avoid them for that. Id rather take the bill honestly and get help sooner than later
My grandmother had a heart attack in the car. My dad sped to the hospital. Thank God they were in town because she lived an hour from the hospital. Fun fact, a lot of hospitals are not allowed to help get a patient out of the car. Liability insurance doesn't cover the entire property. Only inside the doors. Nonetheless one of the doctors pulled her out himself. We never learned until years later he risked his job to help her. Not until I started working there.
@@michelemiktus2312 someone made a mistake handling a patient. His neck was broken and he was moved and was permanently paralyzed. Nobody wanted to be responsible and pay the settlement so everyone started fighting with lawyers and it cost a ton of money. So all the hospitals in our system abide by that rule now. Only an EMS can extract a patient from a car.
Had an ex who walked in on his dad face down having an epileptic seizure. He thought he was throwing a fit like a toddler. Wasn't till his mom yelled at him to call an ambulance that he realized it was serious. We broke up over the phone later that night after he complained about it while still at his dad's bedside in the hospital.
Autists deal with this a lot. When you’re having a meltdown, you are aware of your surroundings, (as some people are during seizures), but you can’t control the movements of your body. The two last things you want to hear when your body starts flopping uncontrollably and you’re scared and disabled, are “Stop throwing a tantrum.” And “You’re faking a seizure.” Pro tip: never tell someone that they’re faking a seizure. People say that autists lack empathy, while people like your ex are the bane of disabled people everywhere.
@@Lys_Alaya they were bringing up the fact that we (autistic people) similarly experience people being dismissive or rude due to us being unable to respond during a meltdown/shutdown, similarly to how people having seizures are treated by people like the ex in the story. It was an anecdote about relating to dealing with people responding the way the ex did, the commenter knows that the original comment didn't bring up autism. Something you may not realize: autistic and ADHD people often will try to show that we understand and relate and show support when others tell us about an experience by bringing up one of our own that we think is similar. If the other person confirms that it's similar then we can try to respond the way we wish someone had when we went through that, and if they say it's actually very different then we can clarify and learn how it is in order to better understand/connect/respond. This is often misunderstood as people thinking we are trying to derail a convo or make it about ourselves or it can seem totally out of nowhere, but it's one of the ways we try to relate to others.
Their comment never implied that they thought the dad was autistic, only that autistic people experience similarly dismissive responses. Hope my explanation clears things up /gen
An older lady I know could tell something was wrong with her friend and he had recently had a surgery so she helped bring him in the nurse at the desk said they had to wait and it wasnt that important and she sat there with him for over an hour when he died laying next to her. She's able to pronounce someone dead so she realized immediately and tried to get the nurses attention so he could be taken back but the nurse again told her to stay quite so she sat their for another thirty seeing how long it'd take. He already had a DNR so after he passed she waited. Finally the nurse said they could go back and she explained he was dead. She said or believes the nurse was fired, she later dressed her friend for his funeral and that was that
Damn, It is horrible to die waiting in an ER waiting room. I feel like thats one of the worst places to die like that. If someone I knew was bad off and I knew what someone looked like that was dying(as I pronounce it often) I most DEF would not allow the hospital to let him lay in the waiting room and die. I would fight them and demand the help. Most of the time there is more than once nurse within ear shot. :/ Not to judge the person you are talking about. Everyone is diff. Im just saying that I, personally, would never allow that to happen.
@sheilarogge2461 Yeah she said she didn't fight before hand because he said no to and she had been the one to insist he go when I asked a bit more she said she thinks he either didn't think it was that bad or didn't care if he died as long as it wasn't supper painful. I also would have probably raised hell, especially if it was my childhood friend, but he asked her not to, and she listened
@@sheilarogge2461 I have a lot of health problems and a DNR myself but after reading a similar story I have told my g/f that if I ever die while waiting in a hospital to make sure to make a fuss after I die (like yelling "hey hes dead now, looks like we won't need a room")....then to make sure that my family sues the crap out of the hospital.
Everyone is always eating in the ER no matter what. Last time I was there the guy had his big ass puke bucket and was telling his wife to go get him a blueberry muffin. The other guy with a puke bucket was drinking from the water fountain. Why not eat and drink and let the 50 people stuck sitting around you listen to you puke?
I’ve been a caregiver for a long time now, first for my husband’s grandmother up til she passed, now his mom, and they both had/have health complications, which means we have hospital visits more often than we would like, and yeah, I’m totally guilty of sitting in the ER with McDonald’s or whatever just like I’m gonna be here for hours I might as well not be hangry too.
I'm super lucky that the last thing my mom said to me was "I love you" and the last thing my dad said to me was "You did good, son." The last thing my brother said to me was "Racing games are fun." Wasn't quite so lucky with my late girlfriend. The last thing she told me was about how she was kind of lonely (she had to return to the UK to get treatment for liver problems...)
You're battered heart. I'm so sorry you've been through so much. I am in awe of your positive take on your losses. I certainly hope you are doing okay. ❤
This got me thinking that I can't remember the last thing my mom said to me. She passed from pancreatic cancer in 2019 . I'll be racking my brain until I remember...
My granny said "I love you, bye bye" over the phone 4 days before she died of cancer. My granda told me "I was filling out. Becoming a man" he had been dying from cancer. My other Granny didn't say anything notable. Probably another goodbye but she also died from bone cancer. She cried and yelped a lot in her sleep while she was dying. My other granda, who was more like my father, told me "I was a good boy" and that he loved me but he needed to rest so I should go and see my aunt in the waiting room. He didn't wake up after that. He also died of lung cancer. Cancer is a terrible fucking thing and I expect it'll get me someday too.
My grandpa had a brain aneurysm erupt while he was in court. The judge and everyone else thought he fell asleep until they realized he was unresponsive and then checked him and he was gone.
@@QueenOfCheetahs Tbf since OP mentioned grandpa, he'd be pretty old and its not unusual for old people to just randomly fall asleep in a weird situation.
Sometimes people can't accept the fact that the person has passed and they pretend like nothing happened because their brain is trying to protect them from the painful situation. In reality they know they are gone but at the same time the brain says no that can't be the truth and forces the false but happier narrative. She's not dead, she just needs to see a doctor. This is what this feels like in this video to me.
Im not sure… the first thing that came to my mind after “big fight” and “became really strange calm and quiet” was the acceptance to kill herself It might just be me pulling subconsciously from myself, but if she’d been having a rough time already then getting into a huge fight with someone she loves would have pushed it a little too far
@flamable2596 I feel it's more like their big fight brought on a stroke or heart attack. High tempers, arguments, can really send a person's blood pressure high. Jumping to she offer herself was quite the reach 😮
@flamable2596 his plots are usually pretty plain and easy to understand, so I don't feel like this was it. If it was a suicide I feel like he would have the guy say something else hinting to it, like saying "And she said she's done with me? I dunno, she always says things like that" But this is also a bit more of a vague one than normal lol
We literally had a paramedic to this. Pushed the stretcher with the "resting" patient into the ER from behind, stating there's something wrong with his pulse ox device because it's giving a super low O2 and not registering a heart rate. Looking at her from the front, she was clearly dead. He lost his license as a paramedic, and continued to work for the same company as an EMT instead 🤷♂️
@@BlueBird-wb6kbHe did not lose his license for the patient dying per se, but because he's obviously so incompetent he does not see the difference between a dead and "resting" person. Which means he also could have missed the patient starting dying, perhaps he could have saved them if he did.
@@maeannengo4908 Different qualifications & skill sets. 1. E Medical Responder 2. EMT 3. Advanced EMT - can intubate 4. EMT Paramedic - allowed to administer more emergency meds than other emt levels
My dad had a chest pain for around a freaking week. When he finally went to the ER, they told him it couldn't be that bad if he'd had it for a week, gave him painkillers and sent him home. Then went to another one, because his pain persosted, that had the EKG machine broken. Finally went to another one like 2 DAYS after, and he was indeed having a heart attack... Don't ignore strange pain kids, even if you and your Dr say it's no big deal.
I once was talking to a person when aneurysm in her brain suddenly ruptured. I thought for a few seconds that she got mad at me and that's why she stopped talking
@@savvivixen8490 it really depends where it is happening in the brain. Sometimes it can cause problems with thinking, other times speech is slurred or garbled, and other times it can affect just muscles (although that usually affects speech because facial muscles are affected.) I hear that hemorrhagic strokes (also called cerebral hemorrhage and often confused with an aneurysm) cause effects much faster even though those effects are similar. I also hear you typically have better recovery if you get immediate treatment than you do for a regular ischemic stroke.
I feel bad for the guy, his last interaction with his mom was when they were arguing. :( Edit: Guys I know it's just a skit, but that doesn't stop me from feeling empathy. Please stop acting like I'm dumb or that I'm a terrible person for feeling bad for this character.
You feel bad for someone who thought there was something wrong with his mom to the point he brought her to the ER, but didn’t bother bringing her inside and instead just kinda calmly chatted about it with hospital staff while eating a burger? I mean, I guess I also feel bad….that he’s clearly missing a few cards to his deck.
I had this elderly couple come in the er lobby and said their 40ish year old son was having chest pain. Went out to the car and he had died on the way to the hospital. That poor elderly couple was just so heart broken. I carry this with to this day and that was years ago. Love your content. It's so real. I miss it but at the same time i really don't. ❤
My dad was at work one day with his dad and his dad said didn't feel well and needed to go to the er. So they got in the car and a couple min into the drive his dad just looked straight at him and said "I'm sorry son" and died in the car there. I think he felt bad to have to die in front of his kid that way and hated to do that to him. I can't imagine how horrible the rest of the car ride there was 🥺
I worked as an ER tech at a university hospital. One night a guy comes in to have us help his dad out of the car. They drove over an hour 2 states away to come to us. Dad had obvious rigor mortis. That son was oblivious too unfortunately
@@lillis887For me is so strange hear you always talk about the hospital bill... Like, you don't have a "public hospital" for those who can't pay for insurance? here in Brazil we have "sistema único de Saúde", not perfect, because depends on public money and government investment, but better than no treatment, or we have insurance from the job too.
@TumblinWeeds university hospitals tend to have a lot of specialists that people are will drive far away to see normally. If you think you will be admitted or it's your chronic condition that is acting up people will go far out of their way
I'm not an officer or a lawyer but the first thing I thought was everything he missing. "Argument and all of a sudden quiet" taking her to the car? How... did you carry her?
... No, there's no causal relationship. Weird people just happen to get there because they also need help, and ER nurses just collect the stories. Bad phrasing. That's about it
Lost my uncle somewhat similarly. When covid hit his wife died (not from covid, she just was alive and then collapsed an died) six weeks after the funeral during the first week of Ramadaan befor he went to bed he simply said "I wanna go see her" wich at the time they thought was a normal yet sad thing for him to say as he had early onset dementia but as soon as he went to bed and they tucked him in he threw up a little and died
I was thinking stroke at first. My late husband had a stroke and the first ER Doc said that he didn't show a stroke on the EEG, even though he showed all the clinical signs of stroke. They released him and it took me 3 days to convince him to go to another hospital. I wanted to take him straight to the second ER, but he wouldn't listen and I didn't force the issue. I should have. It took a full year to get back to 90% of his pre-stroke abilities.
When I was 17 I got into a bad argument with my mom. I went for a walk so that we could both cool down and work it out later. Our rural town had a walking alley between two buildings. There was a park bench with a flower garden. I thought that was a great place to gather my thoughts. At least until two cops walked up. They checked my ID and tried telling me that I was out after curfew (11:00) but it was only 10:15. One asked me what I was doing out this late, and I told them I had a bad fight with my mom. The speed at which they spun me around and put me in cuffs was actually impressive. They threw me in the cruiser and sped off to my house to do a welfare check on her. Worst mistake of their careers was assuming that I had confessed to beating on her. My dad laughed his ass off and explained to them that I knew damned well how much I would be hurting if I ever raised my hand to my USMC mother. Bahahahahaha. I still didn’t get what I wanted from the argument, but at least mom wasn’t pissed off at me anymore

Dude’s clueless and a bit sexist but despite being mad at her, he tried to cheer her up and took her to the ER when he realized something was seriously wrong
he might just be in shock/denial and not wanting to accept it, so his brain is trying to go through life normally. It’s very common in cases of sudden death

We had a similar thing have at my ER. The circumstances were a LOT worse, though. A guy drove his “girlfriend” to our ambulance bay and said she wasn’t breathing. They called a trauma code, compressions were started, IVs weren’t happening easily. The attending ended up drilling for double IO, gave us blood to run to the lab. The blood resembled watered down strawberry lemonade, not blood. The guy was sitting in the hallway (a known drug dealer and overall jerk) not even bothered. I informed the doctor that there was NO way to run any labs on her, her blood wasn’t blood, it was serum. After hearing that he called it, cops were notified and I don’t know what happened after that. This girl wasn’t very good to herself and she had just had a baby 4 months prior. We knew who she was, by name, because any time she’d “go out for air” while in L&D they would do a drug screen on her right after. They would pull direct from her foley l, since they didn’t trust the bag to be “untampered” with. Her blood had turned to serum be issue she was already dead and I also noticed that her legs and feet were in rigor.
except for the dead part, we get people coming in doing this shit me: ☺️ hi, welcome to Urgent Care, what seems to be the problem tonight? shitty parent: yea, my 4yo son is in the car, I think he had a seizure, and he's not breathing right and he has a fever of 103.7, this happened around 3pm me: 😳 to myself *um, ma'am, ITS 630PM!!* ok ma'am, can you please bring your child to the ER? shitty parent: i dont want him around all the sick people, can you just call me when its his turn? me: 😳 um, no ma'am, he needs emergent care, this is Urgent Care shitty parent: 😡 cant you just see him then take him to the ER if he needs to go? i dont want to wait for no reason. me: *as dad brings obviously sick and probably dying child in cuz the kid started making weird noises*😬 DR! WE NEED TO GET THIS KID TO THE ER! activate code blue and rush him to the ER a few hundred feet across the plaza wtf? true story. also, mom was yelling at dad cuz "I told you to wait in the car, I don't want him around these sick people"
I watch the skit which is crazy but educational in how people can really be then it's straight to comments for even more crazier stories. I swear any emergency worker has the best but out there stories to share. Not all heros wear capes🙌🏾🤗
The first code I ever did, a son drove his father to ED for chest pain. He died on the way. I pulled him out of the car & started CPR in the parking lot. Horrible!
My first patient to pass away during transport I lost about a year ago. I picked him up from the airport with his personal RN. He had gotten injured on vacation and went downhill at the hospital. He was going on hospice the next day. I was driving him and the RN to his home to meet with his wife. We happen to stop by at a hospital because the nurse had to use the restroom bc she was holding it the whole time on the plane. I was checking for his vitals and I wasn't getting a response. The nurse was already coming back out and we were trying everything. I ran in and got medical team to come out. But He had already passed. I felt bad for the wife but she said he just wanted to make sure he would come home to die and not be where they were on vacation. She spent some time with him. So the medical people came out and they called it. It was right in the parking lot of the hospital. And then we had to wait for the funeral home to come get him. He was still inside my rig. That was a little strange. The funeral people took a couple hours to come out. I finally came and got them. But we tried to keep it like as normal as possible in a parking lot of a hospital. I think a few people were wondering what was up.
@DeathnoteBB in 1974 the country where I was born started a war. I was 5 years old, and bombs, guns,bullets all over the place, in the middle of the night, and we were down to the floor trying to keep ourselves safe...I was taken by a couple of friends of friends to put me away from the war zone...till today I still shake when I hear fireworks because makes me remind of the sound of the bombs falling near my house...so yes I know what trauma is..dude...
I recently discovered that my grandpa took his mother in-law to the hospital thinking she passed out. He carried her to the car and then carried her inside the ER. He told the staff that she isn't feeling well. turns out she was dead for 4 hours at least
When the ambulance sent a bill of $3000 USD, that’s when I know not to call them unless I’m sure it’s an emergency. My insurance told me the ER was out of network. I asked them who knows when they will have an emergency and how to choose an in network doctor for the future. I’m still waiting for their explanation. Thank God the insurance was through my job so I filed a complaint so they know they got a rubbish insurance off the market.
If that guy has any sort of conscience, he is going to hurt for the rest of his life. How horrible. Hopefully, that person really changed. How completely and utterly sad.
Mental illness would be my first thought, honestly. Never seen this exact scenario, but when i was working in the ED, we had a guy bring in his very deceased infant. The mother died shortly after giving birth from an unrelated issue (i believe she suffered a cranial aneurysm which would make sense) and when the infant died, he kept trying to wake it up. He couldnt understand the child had died. He ended up being admitted after getting into a fist fight with security, screaming that we had kidnapped his son. As a father myself, i spent the rest of my shift, and the rest of my night, staying with the poor guy. I almost lost my own son the year prior, and i knew some of what he was feeling.
@@dreamwolf7302 we need more ER docs like yall...thank you so much for staying with him, and making sure he was okay✨ It seems like empathy in the medical field is nonexistent nowadays, and nobody really cares to research mental illness. thank you so much for caring🙌🏻
i work at an animal clinic. we had a lady bring in her cat to see if it was dead. it was completely stiff. she then asked if its neck was broken? some odd people come in, she wasnt emotional in the slightest about it. really makes me question people
Someone very close to me died last year, and it took two months before I felt anything. Sometimes that's just the way your brain processes a shocking event.
I woke up one morning to realise my daughters elderly cat had passed away beside me on my bed. I knew straight away because she wasn't breathing and her fur just looked wrong. I felt so bad until I realised that she was comfortable enough to go while I was there. It didn't make telling my daughter any easier though 😢
My mother conveniently fell out in the door of the ER during shift change. Suddenly nurses were all over her, and I had all the nurses' bags, packs, lunches, everything. they wheeled her back and I finally wandered over to the riage desk. The triage nurse pushed a clipboard at me, then looked up. She bolted out of her chair and grabbed a cart for me to put the other nurses' belongs on. It was a surreal morning. (Mom's fine. She has a stent in the left anterior descending artery now)
There is a man who used to live a couple doors down from me when I was a kid. He would take his mom out for drives every night. One night, he got pulled over by the police because his tail lights were out, they looked inside of the car and called for backup. Mom had died several months before and had decomposed to the point where she no longer had eyes. He didn't kill her, but they still put him in a padded room.
OMG, I would've jumped on her chest & done compressions!!! My mom was in a nursing home & my sister was in another skilled nursing rehab facility at the same time when my mom had a deadly heart attack. My mom kept coding on the paramedics & then once with the ER staff. The doc said she wouldn't be able to hold a heartbeat & when she finally coded when we were there, the doc just called time of death!!! I had all I could do to keep from doing CPR!!! She was 80 years old. 😲😓
@OnlyMe-uk6nh No, I would NOT, but being a former EMT, it's instinct!!! Even though I miss the hell out of my mom, I wouldn't have made the choice to save her, especially when the ER doc told us when we were allowed to see her, we needed to consider letting her go!!! I was super stressed back then & I lost my sister 8 months later. She was being rehabbed for necroticing fasciaitis & lost her leg. She was having trouble breathing & long story short, she had stage 4 mestisized small cell lung cancer & it went from her thyroid through her right lung!!!! So thanks for replying & giving a 💩!!
@@carolr.4863 Actually, that was me “giving a 💩” because way too many people don’t “give a 💩” about their own relatives and would prefer to traumatise them even further at death, all because they don’t want to let them go. I’m glad to hear you aren’t one of them.
@OnlyMe-uk6nh Thank you. Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. Between 20+ family & close friends dying in the last 1½ decades, it has me a little rattled & facing my recent diagnoses haven't been easy. It goes with aging, lol. 😊👍🏻

I saw an interview with an ER doc one time and he said that he can fix mostly dead but he can't fix dead

Great movie !
Good ol billy crystal.
Well that's because mostly dead is still slightly alive.
INCONCEIVABLE!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
My stepdad survied his first heart attack because my mom overdosed him with asprain. Its the type of heart attack known as a Widow Maker, the ones that under normal circumstances would be unsurvivable. As he was having chest pains, my mom slipped him asprain every so often and then realized what was going on, so she took like a handful and gave it to him. If anyone else had been there, it would have looked like she was trying to kill him. Like i said, the doctors told her that had she not overdosed him with it, he wouldnt be there today. He would have died of a heart attack in our home if it wasnt for my mom. Shes no longer with us, that happened when i was 8 or 9 and she passed away from cancer when i was 12. She was a good mom. Since that point my dad has had 2-3 other heart attacks and survived Covid so im safe to say at this point he might be invincible
Omg that story is insane 😂 sorry for your loss ❤
Sorry for your loss 🎉 to your Dad that stepped up ❤
Mine drove himself to the hospital while having the Widow Maker....... He didn't call me until he was being moved upstairs from the ER. He didn't know he had survived the WM until he saw our PCP a week later.
We've been doing this since October 1999. He has a "go" bag that stays mostly packed at all times.
He's been to the cath lab 19 times, is on his 6th pacer/defib device, his enzyme labs have never shown any evidence of heart attacks, and we honestly don't know how many he's had.
He had a cath through his wrist back in 2002 when it was still experimental. It's common now. He was also the guinea pig for surgical techniques and post-op care techniques.
Once, his defib device went off 6 times; he was conscious for five of those shocks.
I don't jump anymore until I have reason to. People think I'm being insensitive when they are upset about their loved one going into the cath lab. It's almost outpatient these days, and a LOT has changed from the 90s/00s in cardiac procedures. Pacer/defibs replacements are outpatient - they simply unplug the old battery and plug in a new one. Boom. Done. It takes about an hour from prep to back into recovery and about an hour or so until discharge.
Oh, and he drives himself home most of the time after Cath Lab trips. I can't stop him.
Bro, who named that disease

Had an elderly man come into the ER. He walks in the EMS door and asks for help bringing in his unresponsive wife. She has no pulse. Later when asked why he drove instead of getting an ambulance, he said that she had chest pains but didn't want an ambulance. So they got in the car. As they were driving, she leaned against the passenger door. He decided to drive more carefully because she was probably resting. She had another heart attack in the car and died. He just seemed so worn out, tired. He accepted that she was dead and cried silently. I felt so sorry for him, for his loss.
Aw man, thats heartbreaking
Aw man, thats horrible..m
The worst part is, she almost certainly didn't want an ambulance because she was afraid of the big bill 😥
Driving would have been faster anyway. I'm sure there was nothing that could have been done.
@@mattie3867 EMTs in ambulances have equipment you know that right? It's not about speed- they have the proper tools that would have prevented that however in the U.S the prices are ridiculous...so we often avoid them for that. Id rather take the bill honestly and get help sooner than later
My grandmother had a heart attack in the car. My dad sped to the hospital. Thank God they were in town because she lived an hour from the hospital. Fun fact, a lot of hospitals are not allowed to help get a patient out of the car. Liability insurance doesn't cover the entire property. Only inside the doors. Nonetheless one of the doctors pulled her out himself. We never learned until years later he risked his job to help her. Not until I started working there.
Now you call that a real doctor. The one who takes care of the ill to relieve them from their pain and bring them comfort when facing death.
Yup. I had that happen to me once. Crazy
That's so violently usian xD
Back in the 80’s/90’s my peers did what needed to be done and we removed the patient from the cars. We didn’t play games w/bs rules😡
@@michelemiktus2312 someone made a mistake handling a patient. His neck was broken and he was moved and was permanently paralyzed. Nobody wanted to be responsible and pay the settlement so everyone started fighting with lawyers and it cost a ton of money. So all the hospitals in our system abide by that rule now. Only an EMS can extract a patient from a car.
Had an ex who walked in on his dad face down having an epileptic seizure. He thought he was throwing a fit like a toddler. Wasn't till his mom yelled at him to call an ambulance that he realized it was serious. We broke up over the phone later that night after he complained about it while still at his dad's bedside in the hospital.
Autists deal with this a lot.
When you’re having a meltdown, you are aware of your surroundings, (as some people are during seizures), but you can’t control the movements of your body.
The two last things you want to hear when your body starts flopping uncontrollably and you’re scared and disabled, are “Stop throwing a tantrum.” And “You’re faking a seizure.”
Pro tip: never tell someone that they’re faking a seizure.
People say that autists lack empathy, while people like your ex are the bane of disabled people everywhere.
@@cassandrabelyeu2419 did she say he was autistic?
@@Lys_Alaya they were bringing up the fact that we (autistic people) similarly experience people being dismissive or rude due to us being unable to respond during a meltdown/shutdown, similarly to how people having seizures are treated by people like the ex in the story. It was an anecdote about relating to dealing with people responding the way the ex did, the commenter knows that the original comment didn't bring up autism.
Something you may not realize: autistic and ADHD people often will try to show that we understand and relate and show support when others tell us about an experience by bringing up one of our own that we think is similar. If the other person confirms that it's similar then we can try to respond the way we wish someone had when we went through that, and if they say it's actually very different then we can clarify and learn how it is in order to better understand/connect/respond. This is often misunderstood as people thinking we are trying to derail a convo or make it about ourselves or it can seem totally out of nowhere, but it's one of the ways we try to relate to others.
Their comment never implied that they thought the dad was autistic, only that autistic people experience similarly dismissive responses. Hope my explanation clears things up /gen
@@Alex-fc8xn it does thank you
An older lady I know could tell something was wrong with her friend and he had recently had a surgery so she helped bring him in the nurse at the desk said they had to wait and it wasnt that important and she sat there with him for over an hour when he died laying next to her. She's able to pronounce someone dead so she realized immediately and tried to get the nurses attention so he could be taken back but the nurse again told her to stay quite so she sat their for another thirty seeing how long it'd take. He already had a DNR so after he passed she waited. Finally the nurse said they could go back and she explained he was dead. She said or believes the nurse was fired, she later dressed her friend for his funeral and that was that
Damn, It is horrible to die waiting in an ER waiting room. I feel like thats one of the worst places to die like that. If someone I knew was bad off and I knew what someone looked like that was dying(as I pronounce it often) I most DEF would not allow the hospital to let him lay in the waiting room and die. I would fight them and demand the help. Most of the time there is more than once nurse within ear shot. :/ Not to judge the person you are talking about. Everyone is diff. Im just saying that I, personally, would never allow that to happen.
I hope she was fired! I get ERs are busy but that’s not a reason to let patients die 5 feet from help.
@sheilarogge2461 Yeah she said she didn't fight before hand because he said no to and she had been the one to insist he go when I asked a bit more she said she thinks he either didn't think it was that bad or didn't care if he died as long as it wasn't supper painful. I also would have probably raised hell, especially if it was my childhood friend, but he asked her not to, and she listened
@@sheilarogge2461 I have a lot of health problems and a DNR myself but after reading a similar story I have told my g/f that if I ever die while waiting in a hospital to make sure to make a fuss after I die (like yelling "hey hes dead now, looks like we won't need a room")....then to make sure that my family sues the crap out of the hospital.
You known its gonna be weird when hes eating mcdonalds in the hospital.

Everyone is always eating in the ER no matter what. Last time I was there the guy had his big ass puke bucket and was telling his wife to go get him a blueberry muffin. The other guy with a puke bucket was drinking from the water fountain.
Why not eat and drink and let the 50 people stuck sitting around you listen to you puke?
I’ve been a caregiver for a long time now, first for my husband’s grandmother up til she passed, now his mom, and they both had/have health complications, which means we have hospital visits more often than we would like, and yeah, I’m totally guilty of sitting in the ER with McDonald’s or whatever just like I’m gonna be here for hours I might as well not be hangry too.

This got me thinking that I can't remember the last thing my mom said to me. She passed from pancreatic cancer in 2019 . I'll be racking my brain until I remember...
I'm so sorry. Hope things are better now. ❤
My granny said "I love you, bye bye" over the phone 4 days before she died of cancer. My granda told me "I was filling out. Becoming a man" he had been dying from cancer. My other Granny didn't say anything notable. Probably another goodbye but she also died from bone cancer. She cried and yelped a lot in her sleep while she was dying. My other granda, who was more like my father, told me "I was a good boy" and that he loved me but he needed to rest so I should go and see my aunt in the waiting room. He didn't wake up after that. He also died of lung cancer.
Cancer is a terrible fucking thing and I expect it'll get me someday too.
My grandpa had a brain aneurysm erupt while he was in court. The judge and everyone else thought he fell asleep until they realized he was unresponsive and then checked him and he was gone.
This is why NO ONE should assume someone is “just asleep” when they suddenly become unresponsive in a weird situation.
What was he in court about?
Ah rip 😔💔
@@QueenOfCheetahs Tbf since OP mentioned grandpa, he'd be pretty old and its not unusual for old people to just randomly fall asleep in a weird situation.
Condolences to you-
Sometimes people can't accept the fact that the person has passed and they pretend like nothing happened because their brain is trying to protect them from the painful situation. In reality they know they are gone but at the same time the brain says no that can't be the truth and forces the false but happier narrative. She's not dead, she just needs to see a doctor.
This is what this feels like in this video to me.
Im not sure… the first thing that came to my mind after “big fight” and “became really strange calm and quiet” was the acceptance to kill herself
It might just be me pulling subconsciously from myself, but if she’d been having a rough time already then getting into a huge fight with someone she loves would have pushed it a little too far
@flamable2596 I feel it's more like their big fight brought on a stroke or heart attack. High tempers, arguments, can really send a person's blood pressure high. Jumping to she offer herself was quite the reach 😮
@@Emeraldwitch30 like i said, its probably my subconscious, but your theory definitely does have its great points 👍
@flamable2596 his plots are usually pretty plain and easy to understand, so I don't feel like this was it. If it was a suicide I feel like he would have the guy say something else hinting to it, like saying "And she said she's done with me? I dunno, she always says things like that"
But this is also a bit more of a vague one than normal lol

We literally had a paramedic to this. Pushed the stretcher with the "resting" patient into the ER from behind, stating there's something wrong with his pulse ox device because it's giving a super low O2 and not registering a heart rate. Looking at her from the front, she was clearly dead. He lost his license as a paramedic, and continued to work for the same company as an EMT instead 🤷♂️
Wait, paramedic and EMT are not the same?
He lost his license... for wheeling in a stiff?
Why would he lose his licence? People die in that job all the time.
@@BlueBird-wb6kbHe did not lose his license for the patient dying per se, but because he's obviously so incompetent he does not see the difference between a dead and "resting" person.
Which means he also could have missed the patient starting dying, perhaps he could have saved them if he did.

My dad had a chest pain for around a freaking week. When he finally went to the ER, they told him it couldn't be that bad if he'd had it for a week, gave him painkillers and sent him home. Then went to another one, because his pain persosted, that had the EKG machine broken. Finally went to another one like 2 DAYS after, and he was indeed having a heart attack... Don't ignore strange pain kids, even if you and your Dr say it's no big deal.

I once was talking to a person when aneurysm in her brain suddenly ruptured. I thought for a few seconds that she got mad at me and that's why she stopped talking
Omg, it really does look like that? Did they pass out, or were they operating on low capacity, or... what happened? Does it look similar to a stroke?
@@savvivixen8490 It is technically a form of stroke, so the symptoms are the same.
@@olenickel6013 Thank you for the clarification! That clears things up for me on both counts
My daughter had a stroke in front of me. One minute we were talking and the next……very scary.
@@savvivixen8490 it really depends where it is happening in the brain. Sometimes it can cause problems with thinking, other times speech is slurred or garbled, and other times it can affect just muscles (although that usually affects speech because facial muscles are affected.) I hear that hemorrhagic strokes (also called cerebral hemorrhage and often confused with an aneurysm) cause effects much faster even though those effects are similar. I also hear you typically have better recovery if you get immediate treatment than you do for a regular ischemic stroke.
I feel bad for the guy, his last interaction with his mom was when they were arguing. :(
Edit: Guys I know it's just a skit, but that doesn't stop me from feeling empathy. Please stop acting like I'm dumb or that I'm a terrible person for feeling bad for this character.
You feel bad for someone who thought there was something wrong with his mom to the point he brought her to the ER, but didn’t bother bringing her inside and instead just kinda calmly chatted about it with hospital staff while eating a burger?

Maybe she got in a catatonic state because of a stroke and then died in the car while having a ruptured aneurysm.

Sorta sounds like a bit.
I was thinking stroke at first. My late husband had a stroke and the first ER Doc said that he didn't show a stroke on the EEG, even though he showed all the clinical signs of stroke. They released him and it took me 3 days to convince him to go to another hospital. I wanted to take him straight to the second ER, but he wouldn't listen and I didn't force the issue. I should have. It took a full year to get back to 90% of his pre-stroke abilities.

When I was 17 I got into a bad argument with my mom. I went for a walk so that we could both cool down and work it out later. Our rural town had a walking alley between two buildings. There was a park bench with a flower garden. I thought that was a great place to gather my thoughts. At least until two cops walked up. They checked my ID and tried telling me that I was out after curfew (11:00) but it was only 10:15. One asked me what I was doing out this late, and I told them I had a bad fight with my mom. The speed at which they spun me around and put me in cuffs was actually impressive. They threw me in the cruiser and sped off to my house to do a welfare check on her. Worst mistake of their careers was assuming that I had confessed to beating on her. My dad laughed his ass off and explained to them that I knew damned well how much I would be hurting if I ever raised my hand to my USMC mother. Bahahahahaha. I still didn’t get what I wanted from the argument, but at least mom wasn’t pissed off at me anymore

We had a similar thing have at my ER. The circumstances were a LOT worse, though. A guy drove his “girlfriend” to our ambulance bay and said she wasn’t breathing. They called a trauma code, compressions were started, IVs weren’t happening easily. The attending ended up drilling for double IO, gave us blood to run to the lab. The blood resembled watered down strawberry lemonade, not blood. The guy was sitting in the hallway (a known drug dealer and overall jerk) not even bothered. I informed the doctor that there was NO way to run any labs on her, her blood wasn’t blood, it was serum. After hearing that he called it, cops were notified and I don’t know what happened after that. This girl wasn’t very good to herself and she had just had a baby 4 months prior. We knew who she was, by name, because any time she’d “go out for air” while in L&D they would do a drug screen on her right after. They would pull direct from her foley l, since they didn’t trust the bag to be “untampered” with. Her blood had turned to serum be issue she was already dead and I also noticed that her legs and feet were in rigor.
except for the dead part, we get people coming in doing this shit
me: ☺️ hi, welcome to Urgent Care, what seems to be the problem tonight?
shitty parent: yea, my 4yo son is in the car, I think he had a seizure, and he's not breathing right and he has a fever of 103.7, this happened around 3pm
me: 😳 to myself *um, ma'am, ITS 630PM!!* ok ma'am, can you please bring your child to the ER?
shitty parent: i dont want him around all the sick people, can you just call me when its his turn?
me: 😳 um, no ma'am, he needs emergent care, this is Urgent Care
shitty parent: 😡 cant you just see him then take him to the ER if he needs to go? i dont want to wait for no reason.
me: *as dad brings obviously sick and probably dying child in cuz the kid started making weird noises*😬 DR! WE NEED TO GET THIS KID TO THE ER!
activate code blue and rush him to the ER a few hundred feet across the plaza
wtf? true story. also, mom was yelling at dad cuz "I told you to wait in the car, I don't want him around these sick people"
I watch the skit which is crazy but educational in how people can really be then it's straight to comments for even more crazier stories. I swear any emergency worker has the best but out there stories to share. Not all heros wear capes🙌🏾🤗
My mans managed to get his dead mom into the car without realising so either she was on deaths door already or his grief process was a bit… different
Unless they had the argument in the car and he just thought she was sitting in the car mad that whole time.
The first code I ever did, a son drove his father to ED for chest pain. He died on the way. I pulled him out of the car & started CPR in the parking lot. Horrible!
That's exactly what I would expect! What if their heart had JUST stopped and they could still be saved!
Same thing happened to my mom. Whole crew ran out and started working on her on the sidewalk.
My first patient to pass away during transport I lost about a year ago. I picked him up from the airport with his personal RN. He had gotten injured on vacation and went downhill at the hospital. He was going on hospice the next day. I was driving him and the RN to his home to meet with his wife. We happen to stop by at a hospital because the nurse had to use the restroom bc she was holding it the whole time on the plane. I was checking for his vitals and I wasn't getting a response. The nurse was already coming back out and we were trying everything. I ran in and got medical team to come out. But He had already passed. I felt bad for the wife but she said he just wanted to make sure he would come home to die and not be where they were on vacation. She spent some time with him. So the medical people came out and they called it. It was right in the parking lot of the hospital. And then we had to wait for the funeral home to come get him. He was still inside my rig. That was a little strange. The funeral people took a couple hours to come out. I finally came and got them. But we tried to keep it like as normal as possible in a parking lot of a hospital. I think a few people were wondering what was up.
This will be the most traumatic day of his life.
Or not...when someone has McDonald's as a priority in his life and not thinking that something was off with his mom...
@@TheMissblue2uSudden death does that to people.
@@TheMissblue2uWhat do you think trauma means, bud?
@DeathnoteBB in 1974 the country where I was born started a war. I was 5 years old, and bombs, guns,bullets all over the place, in the middle of the night, and we were down to the floor trying to keep ourselves safe...I was taken by a couple of friends of friends to put me away from the war zone...till today I still shake when I hear fireworks because makes me remind of the sound of the bombs falling near my house...so yes I know what trauma is..dude...
@@TheMissblue2u There's more ways of getting it than being in a war torn country
You can't fix dead 🤣🤣🤣
💀💀
You can’t fix stupid💀💀
@@ERice-er9ss My thoughts exactly!
She had a heart attack barely made it into the car, thinking they'd be going to the hospital, and dude went and got McDonald's🤣🤣🤣
I recently discovered that my grandpa took his mother in-law to the hospital thinking she passed out.
He carried her to the car and then carried her inside the ER. He told the staff that she isn't feeling well.
turns out she was dead for 4 hours at least
really puts the dead in dead silence
Pretty sure we can't fix dead.
I guess he seen so many shows where they shock peoples hearts back into working. He didn’t realize they have to be on the table already.
Bro said "chicks" about his mum. Thats insane
When the ambulance sent a bill of $3000 USD, that’s when I know not to call them unless I’m sure it’s an emergency. My insurance told me the ER was out of network. I asked them who knows when they will have an emergency and how to choose an in network doctor for the future. I’m still waiting for their explanation. Thank God the insurance was through my job so I filed a complaint so they know they got a rubbish insurance off the market.
If that guy has any sort of conscience, he is going to hurt for the rest of his life. How horrible. Hopefully, that person really changed. How completely and utterly sad.
Or just in shock
don't judge a book by its cover
Mental illness would be my first thought, honestly.
Never seen this exact scenario, but when i was working in the ED, we had a guy bring in his very deceased infant.
The mother died shortly after giving birth from an unrelated issue (i believe she suffered a cranial aneurysm which would make sense) and when the infant died, he kept trying to wake it up.
He couldnt understand the child had died. He ended up being admitted after getting into a fist fight with security, screaming that we had kidnapped his son.
As a father myself, i spent the rest of my shift, and the rest of my night, staying with the poor guy. I almost lost my own son the year prior, and i knew some of what he was feeling.
@@dreamwolf7302 we need more ER docs like yall...thank you so much for staying with him, and making sure he was okay✨ It seems like empathy in the medical field is nonexistent nowadays, and nobody really cares to research mental illness. thank you so much for caring🙌🏻
Because it's his fault? Stupid, sure, but I don't even really see negligence. Wishing emotional torment on people for life ... bruh.
i work at an animal clinic. we had a lady bring in her cat to see if it was dead. it was completely stiff. she then asked if its neck was broken? some odd people come in, she wasnt emotional in the slightest about it. really makes me question people
dissociation is a hell of a drug
Shock can cause that reaction too, or just ignorance. There are people who have had no exposure to death too
Someone very close to me died last year, and it took two months before I felt anything. Sometimes that's just the way your brain processes a shocking event.
@@rebeccahicks2392 so sorry for your loss
I woke up one morning to realise my daughters elderly cat had passed away beside me on my bed. I knew straight away because she wasn't breathing and her fur just looked wrong. I felt so bad until I realised that she was comfortable enough to go while I was there. It didn't make telling my daughter any easier though 😢
I am not trusting anyone who refers to their mother as a chick
"Sir we don't practice necromancy in the ER"
See, that's the whole problem. Practice makes perfect. And no one wants to practice at their practice 😉
I believe that would be "necromedicine".
This would be me, except that I would check for a pulse.
That happened to me for real. Women was in the back of a Volkswagen beetle.
Denial is one hell of a drug
He didn't NOTICE SHE WAS DEAD!
No. And It was denial.
@@MsJoyce31202
Probably real.
Sounds like more then denial
Nah, that fool is beyond help.
Yes what a twit.
- Can you fix it?
- Sure but we need to call our residents necromancer
I had a family member ask if his mom could still cook after we told the family she had expired.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt....
My mother conveniently fell out in the door of the ER during shift change. Suddenly nurses were all over her, and I had all the nurses' bags, packs, lunches, everything. they wheeled her back and I finally wandered over to the riage desk. The triage nurse pushed a clipboard at me, then looked up. She bolted out of her chair and grabbed a cart for me to put the other nurses' belongs on. It was a surreal morning. (Mom's fine. She has a stent in the left anterior descending artery now)
She really gave him the cold shoulder. Even ghosted him.
Damn, gave him the cold shoulder.
"Pretty sure we can't fix dead."
LMAO.
At that point you just call a necromancer but the result you expect may vary lol
Nah, he knew she was dead, kept her around long enough to use the HOV lanes.
I was thinking ahe had a stroke..wasn't expecting the "she's just dead!" 😅
“I was like shiiiit” 😂😂😂😂 that part had me in tears and idek y
I want to know...did he carry her to the car? Or was she having a stroke or something, walked to the car but died on the ride?
I was thinking she was in a wheelchair
OMG!! I laughed and I mean hollered for about 20 min😂😂😂. Pretty sure we can’t fix dead!! 😂😂😂
For his sake let’s hope it’s denial
"Don't worry, she's only MOSTLY dead"
"To blave!"
Big hugs, thank you for the video and it really connects with me and I feel like we don't talk about things these.❤
The people at the McDonald’s drive through must’ve been so concerned
“Welp… I can’t cure death.”
-Rick
Imagine dying mid-argument. Man, that's gotta suck... losing by default.
Hey I mean you never know what her last words were- if she pulled the "well I might as well be dead" card she won pretty hard 😅
Tried to tell someone their family member was brain dead. They asked if the family could donate brains.
No,you didn't.
There is a man who used to live a couple doors down from me when I was a kid. He would take his mom out for drives every night. One night, he got pulled over by the police because his tail lights were out, they looked inside of the car and called for backup. Mom had died several months before and had decomposed to the point where she no longer had eyes. He didn't kill her, but they still put him in a padded room.
Holy shit that's insane
This is why every time I get into an argument with my loved ones, I always apologize and let them know I still love them.
"i dont think we can fix dead..." LMAOO
Can you fix it??
OMG, I would've jumped on her chest & done compressions!!! My mom was in a nursing home & my sister was in another skilled nursing rehab facility at the same time when my mom had a deadly heart attack. My mom kept coding on the paramedics & then once with the ER staff. The doc said she wouldn't be able to hold a heartbeat & when she finally coded when we were there, the doc just called time of death!!! I had all I could do to keep from doing CPR!!! She was 80 years old. 😲😓
So you would have put her body through massive trauma for basically the exact same result?
@OnlyMe-uk6nh No, I would NOT, but being a former EMT, it's instinct!!! Even though I miss the hell out of my mom, I wouldn't have made the choice to save her, especially when the ER doc told us when we were allowed to see her, we needed to consider letting her go!!! I was super stressed back then & I lost my sister 8 months later. She was being rehabbed for necroticing fasciaitis & lost her leg. She was having trouble breathing & long story short, she had stage 4 mestisized small cell lung cancer & it went from her thyroid through her right lung!!!! So thanks for replying & giving a 💩!!
@@carolr.4863 Actually, that was me “giving a 💩” because way too many people don’t “give a 💩” about their own relatives and would prefer to traumatise them even further at death, all because they don’t want to let them go. I’m glad to hear you aren’t one of them.
@OnlyMe-uk6nh Thank you. Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. Between 20+ family & close friends dying in the last 1½ decades, it has me a little rattled & facing my recent diagnoses haven't been easy. It goes with aging, lol. 😊👍🏻
@@carolr.4863 It’s fine, I understand what you mean.
Bruh really didn't even think it was a little weird and decided MCDONALD'S was a better solution
I thought she had a stroke during the argument, and then couldn't talk or move.
😂😂best way to go in my nurse opinion!! 😂family not recognizing the emergency of the situation while I cross peacefully!!🥰🥰❤️
Funny thing is, I've seen this happen! Family was just as oblivious, too! 😮
“Can you fix it?”
“We can’t fix dead…”
Sounds like his brain has just gone into full denial mode, he probably needs to looked at by a psychiatrist
McDonald’s during the boycott is crazyyyy. You couldn’t just incorporate food from any other fast food restaurant into this video? 😭
boycott?
@@animemusicluver1 yes there’s currently a boycott being held for companies affiliated with the oppression of Palestinian people by Israel. Mscdonalds is one of the biggest ones. Look up the BDS boycott list
Well, not everyone has to feel responsible for palestine
Dude has Forrest Gump syndrome
She probably got so angry at him she died XD
Chicks need to calm down with this silent treatment 😂😂😂😂
Chicks ☕️
You better fix that dead! His mom still hasn’t ordered something!!
The way he nonchalantly talked about his mom who could be in a life threatening situation while he was just eating a burger in the middle of a conversation with a paramedic annoyed me to no end.
"We were arguing then all of a sudden, she got real calm and quiet." 💀
"Why don't you come in and we can GET YOU SOME HELP" lmao
