      Hmmm...there are a lot of egos flying around in the medical profession. Some are healthy egos and some are just people in it for the money and notoriety. I know. I was there. Just like with any other place in life, there are good apples and bad apples. EXCEPT IN THIS SITUATION, THE BAD APPLES PUT THEMSELVES BEFORE THE PATIENT. Any statement saying "all" or "none" is wrong.

    Thank you for mentioning house cleaning. They see the aftermath, and are essential to the patient’s care. I have had 22 surgeries, and had a patient care technician who worked harder than anyone else on my team. They need more recognition as well!!

    I had a motorcycle wreck in 2020. A lady pulled out in front of me and I went flying over her car and landed hard in the pavement. I had 5 broken ribs, punctured lung, hematoma on my live, and a concussion. They had to life flight me to the hospital. I went straight to the trauma unit. My lungs were collapsing because of punctured lung. It was scary because I couldn't get my breath and felt like I was going to die. If you're bashful when it comes to being naked in front of people then you'll forget all about it. They cut all of my clothes off. Everyone in the trauma unit was fantastic. They worked with each other like a well oiled machine. University of Tennessee is the best hospital where I live if your hurt in an accident or anything for you have to be taken there. I stayed on the trauma unit for 6 days and everyone was great ❤️🙏

      I lost my very best friend and his wife just exactly like this. It threw his wife 50 ft away. Corner said she died as soon as she hit the ground. His leg was almost cut off he crawled to the ditch and asked the one who stopped for his wife and died. The one that stopped was Her brother. And he didn't even know at first his sister was on the Motorcycle.

    My dad received care from the UMC trauma team. He was life flighted up from a different hospital. Be the time we got there, about an hour, they had every specialist he needed ready to talk to us and answer any questions. The knowledge, professionalism and compassion they have is amazing!! Because of my dad’s injuries and the delay in treatment, he didn’t make it, but the team was great. The ICU staff were also awesome! I’m very grateful we have the trauma center in Tucson, but it would be really nice if we had one closer to my area. I think more lives are lost because it takes over an hour to get to the trauma center.

    My ex husband was in a really bad car accident. Luckily there was an ER nurse there who was able to relay the urgent situation to the 911 operator. Had this accident not been so close to the hospital, I imagine he would have been life flighted to the sane hospital. The ER chaplain called me at work & told me my (ex now but married then) husband had been in an accident & had a compound fracture & other injuries & I needed to get to Mercy San Juan hospital ASAP. I knew that she wasn't calling me because of just a broken leg, ir was definitely more serious. I was so scared a coworker drove me to the hospital & my mom drove there too. Turns out my ex was really injured & after surgery the trauma surgeon gave my ex a 50% chance of survival. My ex ended up spending 3 weeks in the trauma ward and his care was so extensive that the bill was $300,000 plus. I thank the nurse who stopped & contacted 911, the Sac Metro Fire Dept, the ambulance staff & the hospital staff & surgeons who saved his life.

    I was in a motorcycle accident got cut off and ended up in the back of a truck. Went to a level 1 trauma center. HCA orange park. Was a Great trauma team. I worked in the army as a x-ray tech at MAMC. I got out and went back to school to get registered as a RT. I got into the accident wearing a helmet and scrubs. Broke the front of my pelvis and it split in the center called an open book injury. I also broke my sacrum right where the nerves run though. In a wheelchair for a while, happened a month ago and I’m still in the chair but I should get out of it eventually and make a full recovery.

    I was an X-ray tech in a Level 1 trauma for over 20 years. When I thought I had seen everything something new would come in. You have to be prepared for anything, but so does the rest of the team and it is a team. While ER & trauma doctors can be rough on you, (but not as bad as the OR doctors), but its because they expect perfection since a life may depend on it. I retired 15 years ago because of my own medical problems and I still miss it every day, but a new generation of techs have taken up the torch. Today they have education requirements and especially technology that we could never have dreamed of and every day emergency medicine gets better and your chances go up.

    I was a Unit Secretary there in the ER at UAMC from 2005-6 to 2011! The ER staff is just like your second family. We all worked well together and it is most definitely a patient-centered environment there. In 2009 I crashed my motorcycle (without helmet) and ended up a Trauma Green there. Because I knew everyone there, THAT WAS THE ONLY PLACE I wanted to go. I knew I would be taken care from a dedicated, compassionate, experienced team, my second family. I count them as the reason I was able to walk out of there on my own 6 hours after I arrived. I think about them and miss them a lot.

Coroner said she died as soon as she hit the ground. His leg was almost cut off he crawled to the ditch and asked the one who stopped for his wife and died. The one that stopped was Her brother. And he didn't even know at first his sister was on the Motorcycle. You can still see the marking from the accident on the road. It was so awful. I will never forget it.

    Having resided in Southern Arizona, care can be far and few between. Plus showing students the results and one seemingly innocent decision can be devastating. Reading about it and seeing it in front of you often makes a better impact.
    I think students should also tour Trauma Centers and speak to those who have been treated there regardless of location across the country.

Some scenes are probably filmed much later on, like they don’t bring pt’s back to the trauma room to be discharged home !

    In 2017 I was in a head on collision smack dab between a level 1 trauma and a level 4 trauma center. These two hospitals are like maybe 2 vlocks from each other. I sustained a compound fracture to the right ankle. I didnt even realize my foot was turned sideways, skin ripped open and bones sticking out of the tear until I went to stand up. They took me to the level 1 trauma center and was in surgery within an hour maybe a little less from the time of the wreck. I woke up with titanium and surgical steel drilled into several bones and bolted together on the outside of my foot and leg. The surgeon said its a very common injury driveres sustain in head on collisions. Its due to your foot rolling off the brake petal and slamming into the floor board from the force of impact. I will never be able to thank everyone from first responders, EMT's, nurses, dr.s and surgeons for everything they did to save my life and my foot.

    In 1979-1980 I worked in a dedicated Accident Hospital, in the UK Birmingham England This must have been one of the first hospitals of its type, specialising in all accidents, including burns, it had a 6 bedded Major injuries If the trauma was deemed severe, critical the patient bypassed the Accident dept and went into the major injuries admission area .
    There was also adjacent to this area a Major injuries ITU unit
    (no medical or general surgery adissions to this hospital ) The hospital played an important role in the Birmingham Pub Bombings as most of the staff were at a hospital function in the city and all were easily contactable, whilst this emergency was going on someone had the sense to set up a video recorder in the emergency area, they also utilised the outpatients area next to the emergency dept. This hospital has now been demolished but was good in its time

Had emergency surgery after they could find out where my injury was, I got peritonitis.. Most people die from it. They truly worked a miracle..I had one helluva good team. They even sent a student Dr home with me to make sure I settled in OK and showed me how to bandage and cover my abdomen for showers so it didn't get wet. My care was 5 star.. And the entire bill was $5k..it'd be in the high thousands today. I'm a retired paramedic because of this experience.. My ambulance people were horrible and I used to dispatch for them, I knew them!! Not all are cut out for being a 1st responder.

    There are very bad hospitals near us, so we drive family members even in an emergency to the 1 hospital in the area even though it's almost an hour away. We won't trust our lives with pathetic rude doctors and nurses. We are not the only ones who do this in our area. There are very good hospitals and the ones we have around us I wouldn't trust them to treat my dog much less our family members.

  • @hisimagenme
    @hisimagenme Рік тому +1

    Exactly how do we take it for granted until we need it? I'm wondering... we already pay the maximum for health insurance in the nation today anymore and we can't eat. What's more is we don't use our medical benefits we pay for. So basically we've paid two 250K mortgages into health care and used MAYBE a total of 50K in the 30 years I've been married to my husband. I'm pretty sure we're not taking advantage of anything and there's no doubt in my mind we pay our part and then some. I get that it's all so expensive and funding is hard but the average American can not pull blood from turnips. Perhaps medical industries could only pay for what it actually cost in pharmaceuticals and medical equipment instead of the bloated 300% mark up that keeps this industry the biggest money making machine in the world? This needs to be given to the big guys not the general population. I'm terribly grateful for each of these people and what they do. And should we ever need it our bills will get paid and our gratitude will flow in every way we can find. But this felt like a ask for money from us people who already pay more than we use in medical care. It bothers me that no one has a conscience to ask from the poor for things they can't give and then tell us we somehow take advantage of it. You're trying to sell to the wrong crowd, because truth be told if not for us over payers you wouldn't have what you do.

      I agree. The Brits do seem to do a better job In the field, with docs on board the helicopters they can start treatment much quicker.. another interesting thing I noticed is their use of ketamine in the field. I'm not sure why it.doesn't seem to be used as much in the US.

    People without insurance have no choice but to use the ER for primary care or they do without healthcare. Someone I know died yesterday. They went to the ER after they passed out. They had a large tumor in their chest and 8 tumors in their brain. Their eye was bulging from one of the tumors. I guess they will find out what kind of cancer they had on autopsy. Reminds me of a patient that I had who was on the metrolink and was alive but not responsive. She had Paget's disease of the breast and died two weeks later. She was just going to work, but had no sick days or insurance, so she died of a treatable disease. Then there was the lady who left the hospital to take her 6 year old son to live with her brother and came back to die 3 weeks later of ovarian cancer. Again, no sick days or insurance, she worked in a factory. As a bonus, her landlord evicted her the day before she died. The US is just a wonderful place.

    I may catch a lot of crap for this, but I hope UMC has improved, speaking from experience, they are horrible. I have a scar on my knee and a needle still in there from when I was 12 because they dropped it and sewed it up. They overdosed me and let my IV back up years later, they have been in trouble for malpractice and had patients die on them because they screwed up the surgery, and on one guy the machine blew up. My Daughter was deaf till she was 5 because of them because I was on ACCESS that was the only hospital I could take her to. They had bad water that made a bunch of people sick. When I was pregnant a nurse messed up my insulin and my sugar dropped to 48. One time I was in The ER for 4 hours. So don't tell me to do my research, because I experienced it. The staff was rude too.
