It is a shame that in a country like the US people have to loose body parts and almost die because they can not afford medical insurance. Shame, shame on all of the super rich insurance company's for putting money ahead of life and limb. Someone needs to put a STOP to all this greed.
+Bendytrendy The Conservative Almost 1 billion people in the world has universal free government health insurance, and hundreds of millions have affordable insurance but still have access to a public option in the case they can't afford private insurance. Even mexico, the country that conservatives point to as a welfare state ridden with crime and drugs is nearing the achievement of every citizen covered by comprehensive health insurance, with the majority on public insurance and the rest on private. The United States is the _only_ industrialized country that does _not_ offer free/affordable health insurance to every legal citizen. The industrialized world works for the citizens, and the united states works for big corporations. Thank god trumpcare didn't pass, becasue if it did our uninsured and underinsured would surpass the insured.
Bendytendy The Conservative u don't understand that doctors get paid more than other careers like military and we put our lives on the line, so I can see where she is coming from
I've been to 8 countries in four different continents. So far, USA has the costliest insurance and doctor fees even for the smallest of things. Developed country MY ASS. It's a scam and rip off. Worst place to get sick.
JoAnn Kirk Obamacare actually does provide health insurance for low income people. It's required by law to have health insurance in the US, and if you can't afford it you often qualify for very cheap/free insurance. She most likely just never signed up.
It's surprising how many people don't know the dangers of strep, the black fingers and toes I didn't know about. I want to thank her for doing this interview so more people know not to ignore strep
It was the sepsis infection that caused the black fingers/toes, not strep throat itself. Sepsis can develop when any virus/infection is left untreated. My friends roommate got septic from untreated flu & died.

FearStyled i have health insurance, i had a concussion last summer and i owe the hospital 700$ that I don’t have. I have money through work set aside for this purpose but in order to access it i need to send in copies of my receipts showing i paid the doctor office. But I can’t pay the doctors office bc I don’t have 700$. So I can’t get my money back. Catch 22.
mrsmarvelous1 not a doctor office. Hospital and in order to get money back from my job i need a receipt showing it was paid in full. I tried to make a payment plan with their collections office and they refused. Stated it had to be paid in full. It’s fine. Now I just won’t go to the doctor if I don’t have enough in my account.

john paul porrelli, the US does have that. In the US all people have a right to be seen by a medical professional despite them being able to pay or not. She could have gone to the doctor and applied for assiantce. Which would either lower how much she has to pay or get rid of it entirely.
l this could have been a cheap walk in clinic visit so don't misunderstand that this is HER fault for not seeking medical sooner.money doesn't fix stupid. Now that's probably cost over 10000. so she is still responsible for the cost. but now she owes a lot more. your health is more important than money people. you don't go to jail for not paying your bills.

same but i looked up strep throat. I like knowing that there is someone else in the world that is suffering with the same pain i am at the same time. Im a terrible person.
I had strep throat in January 2019 and it was pretty painful but i didn't end up paying more than $10 for the health consultation and $12 for the actual antibiotics, because i went to a low cost clinic.
I love how she keeps a positive attitude and doesn't let anything get in her way. Honestly she's such an amazing person with a kind boyfriend who was concerned for her!
“everytime i see my hand it’s a reminder that i have a second chance at life” made me INSTANTLY CRY. i feel the same thing when i look at the scars on my ankles! we really take small things for granted until you can’t do simple things by yourself..
I remember having strep throat when I was little and my grandma taking me to the ER. They prescribed some antibiotics & sent us home. A couple days later she had to take me back cause my symptoms had gotten so much worse. We seen the same doctor again & even though I was like 8 at the time I'll never forget what he said to my grandma. "Oh that antibiotic is worthless against Strep but I didn't think you could afford the antibiotic she actually needs." To this day I've yet to see my nanny as mad as she was that day. He let a child suffer over an assumption. Within hours of getting the correct antibiotic I started getting better.
Its the American Health Care's fault for being so dam expensive, she could have easily went to the hospital, but the fear of the hospital bill just ruined her life.
Yeah I struggled with this one because the fear of a bill is what kept her from going initially but then why did she not go when the rest of the symptoms were presenting? And if she couldn't afford the initial bill then how in the hell is she going to afford the cost of surgery for all the amputations?
Every person involved in the "health care system" wants to be PAID high wages and benefits... I guess if those folks would be willing to forego the salary and bennies they want, costs could go down... 🤷♀️
Lisa R. I’m sure if you were a doctor or pharmacist that spent 8-15 years in training and school and paid 1.5 million in school debt u wouldn’t be fine with pay cuts u idiot
Vincent Cuttolo Op isn't... It's the truth, unfortunately... For some in the USA... You just have to honorably not receive care and die so your family doesn't have to support your broke in debt ass or so you don't become a homeless bum being the "problem" with society in America. Fun moral and financial choices right there... Not the reality for all, but for many it is.
Everyone should realize, no matter what you loose on the outside, wether it be losing a leg or arm or losing the tiny east thing like a finger tip, your still beautiful on the inside and out no matter what people try to tell you.
CookieeDough Pupz I agree. I have some scars on my arms that cause me to not want to wear short sleeves, but a couple of years ago my mom encouraged me to wear short sleeves. Now I don't even think about them, except for those nosey people, ever so often that ask about them!
Actually at 103 is when doctors recommend you go to the emergency room and 104 can be extremely dangerous. 107 is the highest of the extremes and at that point if you’re not in the hospital then there is an issue
I got strep the first time at age 27. It was so bad, I woke w tonsils swollen together. Took a basic zpac or something and it didn't work. It spread to my ears, my kidneys etc and I had to take broad spectrum antibiotics. I went back to an urgent care 2 days in begging for pain medication to help me cause my throat and ears were so bad everytime I swallowed I'd be stomping my feet w tears down my face, it was torture! It's no joke!
I learned this in health class bus since she hasn’t been sick in years, her immune system wasn’t strong because of the years of not being sick. Being sick is better than being not being sick in a long time. Her immune system didn’t get strong over the years, they got weaker. When she got strep throat. Her immune system was to weak to fight it off and it gave up. I don’t know if this fully true but I know the immune system part is true. Don’t hate on me for being wrong.
I feel sorry for Americans. We have free health care in the UK And yes it is pretty bad but at least I won't die because I have no money Edit: I am aware that it's technically not free and we pay it in taxes but that's not like having a massive bill to pay off all at once
They were wonderful to me after I had a nasty fall onto the side of a taxi (I wear bifocals and didn't estimate the distance to step in properly.) 20 pounds for a quick check to make sure I didn't hurt anything too badly. Here in the US, that would have been around 80 dollars had I gone to an urgent care facility and had no insurance.
Exactly, many men would take off instead of sticking through the appointments and taking care of her. But that's called a relationship, you go through the good, the bad and the ugly! Not just men, women do it too.
This happend to my grandma 2 months ago, she's diabetic and her left leg was amputated from above the knee. She's doing great now and I'm really happy she's still with us.
You don't have to have healthcare to see a doctor. BECAUSE it's America. If she can go out shopping she can afford a simple doctor visit. It was her CHOICE to not go.
Hejy Stein exactly, I don't understand how people can be so stupid and ignorant. If you have a fever that high, how can you seriously think you don't need to go to the doctors?? I just don't get it. Also, where were her parents?? My parents would be worried sick and make sure I went to the doctors.
@@crazychase98 That's what these people aren't understanding, she didn't just ride this out, she let it fester.. No way did she not notice signs before one day her nose was suddenley blue and purple..
@@crazychase98 idk how she could tolerate it for that long. Whenever I had mine it was hard to eat and drink water. Would be painful to even swallow saliva.
My mother who is a nurse always told me to get treated for strep throat EVEN if you don't feel like its necessary. I didn't know why until I saw this. This is such a terrible outcome, but thankfully she survived. Edit: I literally got strep throat after watching this. Maybe I caught it through the video.
@@AldousHuxley7 And where's your medical degree? Don't give people shoddy advice that's going to kill them. Edit: the efficacy of manuka honey hasn't been well established outside of in vitro and, if anything, could be used as an adjuvant to antibiotics BUT not in place of them.
A glass of warm watery mixture of tumeric, ginger, garlic, honey, and half spoon of Rum(Alcohol) works like magic for me everytime for any throat related illness. It provides immediate relief and cure. No side effect like drugs. You should try that next time.
Strep throat is something you always take seriously and don’t wait out without treatment. Strep is very well-known for progressing into things like scarlet fever and rheumatic fever (the latter of which sounds like what she had).
When I had it, I went from feeling perfectly fine to absolute misery in about fifteen minutes. Most painful night of my life. The following day, the doctor said that it was spreading to other areas already. I think that I would have probably died without the antibiotics.
my life as grace Hester you might have to get a tonsillectomy surgery because your tonsils/adenoids might be weak or infected which leads to strep. Next time you get a general check up with your doctor, speak to them about it because it’ll help you in the long run.
Yeah but the quality of the healthcare isn’t as good as here in America and the hospitals can become overflowed and as another commenter pointed out the hospitals could refuse you. 🇺🇸
@[hehe] have you experienced health care in the US? I’m a three time cancer survivor, I had the first stage of sepsis from an infection and had Covid in March 2020 with scar tissue in my lungs and seizures caused by a fever of almost 104 for 4-5 days and still here to tell you don’t talk about what you don’t seem to know anything about. You can get good health care or bad health care anywhere in any country. There’s also county hospitals where I was very well treated. When it was a private hospital I made payment arrangements. I’m so happy this very courageous young lady is doing well now. She’s a fighter and God bless her
It's Strep A that causes this, it causes Necrotizing Fasciitis, which can cause both Gangrene and Sepsis at the same time. And I know because I've had Necrotizing Fasciitis lol.
Okay Then, Yes, same in the US. You get to see a medical professional despite you being able to pay. And you can easily apply for financial assistance after. They will reduce/completely get rid of the money you need to pay.
I’ve had sepsis 3 times with the first one nearly killing me. It’s a rough thing to go through. Spent 29 days in the hospital with the first one including 2 rounds in the ICU. I feel for her. I had a fever of over 105
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone comments saying anything like,"WHY is her STEPMOTHER talking about the pain of almost losing her and not her MOTHER? What happened to her MOTHER?🤔
This scares me so much. I don't have health insurance either; I'm barely paying rent right now. I couldn't afford a doctor if I got sick, and as far as having a hospital bill...it would have to be something very serious to make me go, and I fear I would wait too long, like she almost did. I'm so glad she survived; I wonder how she's doing now.
If the poor girl had known to go directly to a hospital ER she would've been treated, insurance or not. Had a former coworker that had a prompt brain tumor diagnosis because she went straight to the ER. Her surgeon said that if she'd seen her family doctor then waited for an appointment to see a specialist, it might've been too late. Prayers have been answered... she's now a 10+ years survivor.
You don’t need to go to the ER for this… Stop clogging the healthcare system. She only had to because she let herself get near death. Don’t let it get this bad and just go to your primary doctor as soon as you can. Most doctors will let you come in same day. Go to an urgent care center if you don’t have a doctor.
By law all hospitals have to treat a person regardless on their ability to pay. Afterwards she could have applied for assistance within the hospital. I have had hospitals forgive all of my debt when I was in school without insurance.
I cant afford to get sick even with insurance my deductible for the whole family is $6k. Im working my ass off and paying $300+ for premium. Seriously something wrong here
+Th4IT4NIUM That's what happens when corporations donate to politicians, it gives you Paul Ryan, Hillary Clinton and everyone in between calling universal government provided healthcare a dream and not a reality when over a billion in the world already have it.
Maybe consider moving to a similar country that has free health care for all citizens? The uk prides it self for having great opportunities, free education, and a great enviroment to live a better life. Something to consider to improve your wellbeing
+Michael Hayes the UK and most other countries including Canada will _not_ accept you if you have costly medical conditions unless you already have family in the respective countries in most cases, even if the immigration officer feels that there is a compassionate reason to let them in.
I had strep go through a open wound. Instead of strep being in my throat it was on my skin. It caused painful bumps all over my body! Take care of yourself people!
It all started with just a Strep Throat. I am so terrified right now. Because sometimes it's hard to tell if you only have a sore throat or a strep throat. But her positive personality cheered me up.
I'm sorry this is ridiculous that someone would wait so long to get medical treatment because they don't have medical insurance. I'm sure the cost of the ambulance is a lot more expensive than a bottle of penicillin. I rather file for bankruptcy if I can't pay the bill than to be close to death's door. I have had strep throat on more than one occasion too and there is no way I would wait such a illness like this out!! Maybe she has a high threshold for pain, that's the only thing I can think of for all of this to happen to her.
Jeremy smith What I'm saying is that she must of had a high threshold for pain. Because now she finally went to the doctor and the bill is probably over a hundred thousand or more. Regardless, it's sad someone has to feels this way in the first place and will risk dying over going to seek medical helped because they can't afford it.
susan c. The video doesn't say if she knew. I would doubt she new since one must have a steep culture done first. Yes, many people get Strept and don't realize it. It runs its course without any problems. Then others have severe illness. Like chronic kidney disease and needing heart valve replacement. Sepsis, etc. Best to get it treated. Doesn't sound like she had a clue.
susan c well when you don't have money waiting it out is the best option. Not everyone can just pay for things Willy nilly. She didn't have money to pay them. So don't just assume that because you can do something means that everyone can and will.
Oh my god. I had strep throat twice and soon had to get my tonsils removed when I was younger. I can't imagine living the way she is now. I'm so glad I was treated when I was, anybody else that doesn't feel good, please go to your doctor. And if you have strep throat, please get treated!
I got sepsis, Could’nt hold any food or drinks down and when I lay on my side it was the most excruciating pain. I called the doctor immediately and he told me to get to the ER as fast as I could. Luckily everything was OK, I got intervenous antibiotics. They gave me so much antibiotics I gained 20 pounds in three days just from the fluids. Thank God I was OK. The doctor said I did not look like I belong in the hospital, only the test results said I belong there. I was in the best hospital ever❤️
I had a strep throat before. It wasn’t a good feeling at all. I felt very sick and scared. Thankfully though, I was able to go in to see what was wrong with me. But now that I’ve seen and found this video, I didn’t realize that it could get this bad. So I’m thankful I was okay last year in April, literally on Easter Day, the weird part is this year, on the same exact day (even if Easter was a different day) I felt sick again like the year before. But I just had a bad cold and I lost my voice. I am so sorry for this happening to you and for anyone else.
Omg .i had a strep a couple weeks ago. And my mom would not believe me so I faked until she actually noticed something was wrong with me. Then she took me to the doctor and then they said I had strep. It hurt sooooo bad to swallow ANYTHING even my SPIT. Omg it sucks.🤦♀️ NEVER GET STREP THROAT!!!!!!
Eric occultist Well the doctors gave me a shot in my leg it hurt a lot. The doctor said the shot hurts WAYY more than a normal shot. So... I got cured with a shot 👍🏼👍🏼
That’s terrifying!! Those fingers were very scary!! I’m so glad that she is alive and well after being so close to death! I wish her luck on her road to recovery and I hope she and her boyfriend have a long happy relationship❤️
This is so sad. Such a tragedy for a young lady to have to make such a decision and be scared for life. I wish her continued joy and strength to overcome all obstacles.
That’s so scary! This girl was being stubborn. Going to urgent care is less than $100. And then you can take ur RX to Walmart , or sams club (no membership required just ask to go to pharmacy), and get a cheap prescription for strep. I did it once when I had no health insurance
Thank you for sharing the message of going for treatment for strep. It can lead to sepsis then loss of limbs or life. Strep can turn into a bacterial infection of the blood then full blown septicemia. Beautiful young lady.
@@mr.epicness2037 i wouldnt say that. I lost my sight in one eye and found out that i had multiple sclerosis. Didnt take long to diagnose me, and i had an eye specialist within the week of losingmy sight,And when he did everything to make sure i didnt have a tumor pushing on my Optical nerve, I had a neurologist a week after that. The hospital isnt to blame here. Its the girl. She never went it. The hospital cant "fail you" if you never go in. She almost killed her self by ignoring how sick she was.
Health insurance is a human right, not a privilege. This could have been so much worse, is so much worse for so many others. People die because they literally can't afford not to
@@MissSushi123 Tax dollars, brainiac. I can go to the hospital tomorrow and not pay a penny. Is it free? No, of course not. I pay taxes on each pay check. But I'd rather that, than get $20,000 Bill for a broken finger.
I've had strep untreated, known plenty in the same situation. Never heard of anything like this happening before, how incredibly fascinating, I'm curious if a doctor out there could explain the progression from strep to necrosis, seems like a huge leap.
I'm having a strep throat infection 2 times in a row within 3 weeks, so this week I was kind of scared. I decided to wait it out without visiting a doctor. I wanted to order penicillin or amoxicillin from Mexico but I thought it will take too long. Today is the first day when I'm starting to feel better. Dumb government makes it hard for people to get antibiotics for no good reason.
We need stop beating around the bush and get Universal Health Care here in the US. However, this girl should have at least went to Urgicare which would have not been too expensive for some simple antibiotics.
It is a shame that in a country like the US people have to loose body parts and almost die because they can not afford medical insurance. Shame, shame on all of the super rich insurance company's for putting money ahead of life and limb. Someone needs to put a STOP to all this greed.

I had strep throat in January 2019 and it was pretty painful but i didn't end up paying more than $10 for the health consultation and $12 for the actual antibiotics, because i went to a low cost clinic.

“everytime i see my hand it’s a reminder that i have a second chance at life”
made me INSTANTLY CRY. i feel the same thing when i look at the scars on my ankles! we really take small things for granted until you can’t do simple things by yourself..
Scars cause this to you,
This is true! I’m glad you’re here❤
Not true. The ugly scars could have been prevent if she went for treatment immediately. Nobody want those scars if they could choose.
I remember having strep throat when I was little and my grandma taking me to the ER. They prescribed some antibiotics & sent us home. A couple days later she had to take me back cause my symptoms had gotten so much worse. We seen the same doctor again & even though I was like 8 at the time I'll never forget what he said to my grandma. "Oh that antibiotic is worthless against Strep but I didn't think you could afford the antibiotic she actually needs." To this day I've yet to see my nanny as mad as she was that day. He let a child suffer over an assumption. Within hours of getting the correct antibiotic I started getting better.
That’s insane! That doctor is a psycho !
Eff that doctor
This is a lawsuit
That’s an automatic lawsuit
Its the American Health Care's fault for being so dam expensive, she could have easily went to the hospital, but the fear of the hospital bill just ruined her life.
Baldoxxx4000 or she could of said “bill me” and never pay the bill. Lol
Yeah I struggled with this one because the fear of a bill is what kept her from going initially but then why did she not go when the rest of the symptoms were presenting? And if she couldn't afford the initial bill then how in the hell is she going to afford the cost of surgery for all the amputations?
Every person involved in the "health care system" wants to be PAID high wages and benefits... I guess if those folks would be willing to forego the salary and bennies they want, costs could go down... 🤷♀️
Lisa R. I’m sure if you were a doctor or pharmacist that spent 8-15 years in training and school and paid 1.5 million in school debt u wouldn’t be fine with pay cuts u idiot
60$ dr visit and 45$ in meds I dont get it
sorry but I live in the US so if this happens - I guess I'll die. It's cheaper to die in the US than it is to get help.
Diamante Dea yes dying is a cheaper way of life.
Vincent Cuttolo calm down
Vincent Cuttolo Op isn't... It's the truth, unfortunately... For some in the USA... You just have to honorably not receive care and die so your family doesn't have to support your broke in debt ass or so you don't become a homeless bum being the "problem" with society in America. Fun moral and financial choices right there... Not the reality for all, but for many it is.
Diamante Dea stop that's rude

She is handling it so well!
You had to make that joke
@@cao1xbro they werent even making it a joke plus its about her fingers not hands
I got strep the first time at age 27. It was so bad, I woke w tonsils swollen together. Took a basic zpac or something and it didn't work. It spread to my ears, my kidneys etc and I had to take broad spectrum antibiotics. I went back to an urgent care 2 days in begging for pain medication to help me cause my throat and ears were so bad everytime I swallowed I'd be stomping my feet w tears down my face, it was torture! It's no joke!
I’m so sorry for what you went through. I remember strep being extremely painful, but your experience sounds even worse.
I had it when I was a kid. It was pure hell.
I learned this in health class bus since she hasn’t been sick in years, her immune system wasn’t strong because of the years of not being sick. Being sick is better than being not being sick in a long time. Her immune system didn’t get strong over the years, they got weaker. When she got strep throat. Her immune system was to weak to fight it off and it gave up. I don’t know if this fully true but I know the immune system part is true. Don’t hate on me for being wrong.
I meant but not bus
Your right
Sunset if you’re wrong I understand👍🏾
Well, your kind of correct...
Strep Throat is something that cannot be cured by the immume system.
Is that going to happen to me I don’t get sick at all I get sick every 4 to 5 years oh no😰😰😰
God bless her. Hope she is okay.
Noones Channel if you watched the video you’d realize how dumb you sound

once I didn't treat my step throat and because of that I got inflammation of the blood vessels on my feet and couldn't walk for months

And yes it is pretty bad but at least I won't die because I have no money
Edit: I am aware that it's technically not free and we pay it in taxes but that's not like having a massive bill to pay off all at once
They were wonderful to me after I had a nasty fall onto the side of a taxi (I wear bifocals and didn't estimate the distance to step in properly.) 20 pounds for a quick check to make sure I didn't hurt anything too badly. Here in the US, that would have been around 80 dollars had I gone to an urgent care facility and had no insurance.
@@blackcitroenlove so about double the price. Thats still cheap healthcare

Too bad that Americans will pass up proper health care because of cost. Canada is blessed
ThatsSoRepti Canada's healthcare still sucks.
You don't have to have healthcare to see a doctor. BECAUSE it's America. If she can go out shopping she can afford a simple doctor visit. It was her CHOICE to not go.
Hejy Stein exactly, I don't understand how people can be so stupid and ignorant. If you have a fever that high, how can you seriously think you don't need to go to the doctors?? I just don't get it. Also, where were her parents?? My parents would be worried sick and make sure I went to the doctors.

Omg, I had strep throat a while ago, I thought it was just another type of throat infection. I'm glad I saw a doctor, I had no idea it could do that!
It is if you don't let it fester for like a year. She had this for a long time for her to lose fingers and toes.
@@crazychase98 That's what these people aren't understanding, she didn't just ride this out, she let it fester.. No way did she not notice signs before one day her nose was suddenley blue and purple..
Me too
@@crazychase98 is it even possible to let strep throat go untreated for 365 days?
@@crazychase98 idk how she could tolerate it for that long. Whenever I had mine it was hard to eat and drink water. Would be painful to even swallow saliva.
My mother who is a nurse always told me to get treated for strep throat EVEN if you don't feel like its necessary. I didn't know why until I saw this. This is such a terrible outcome, but thankfully she survived.
Edit: I literally got strep throat after watching this. Maybe I caught it through the video.
Can also eat a spoonful of manuka honey instead of taking antibiotics.
@@AldousHuxley7 And where's your medical degree? Don't give people shoddy advice that's going to kill them.

A glass of warm watery mixture of tumeric, ginger, garlic, honey, and half spoon of Rum(Alcohol) works like magic for me everytime for any throat related illness. It provides immediate relief and cure. No side effect like drugs. You should try that next time.
@@bananabreadloaf She didnt eat manuka honey.
Strep throat is something you always take seriously and don’t wait out without treatment. Strep is very well-known for progressing into things like scarlet fever and rheumatic fever (the latter of which sounds like what she had).
When I had it, I went from feeling perfectly fine to absolute misery in about fifteen minutes. Most painful night of my life. The following day, the doctor said that it was spreading to other areas already. I think that I would have probably died without the antibiotics.
It's so cool how she looks at her bad situation and makes it a positive one!
It would've been much better if the "Avid Health Nut" actually cared about her health in the first place
That's scary because I used to get strep throat 3-4 times a year
You should have kept your fingers out of your mouth.
Matthew Bernard shut up
my life as grace Hester you might have to get a tonsillectomy surgery because your tonsils/adenoids might be weak or infected which leads to strep. Next time you get a general check up with your doctor, speak to them about it because it’ll help you in the long run.
Grace Hester you body should be able to fight it

I feel very blessed to live in Canada because when I need to go to the doctor, I can go without worrying about the cost. 🇨🇦
Yep, until your government ran health care decides it's to expensive and turn you down. And in America we have ER's that don't turn people away.
Yeah but the quality of the healthcare isn’t as good as here in America and the hospitals can become overflowed and as another commenter pointed out the hospitals could refuse you. 🇺🇸
Exactly the US just wants to make more money off of people 🤦🏽♀️ they don’t actually care about the health and condition of people!
@[hehe] have you experienced health care in the US? I’m a three time cancer survivor, I had the first stage of sepsis from an infection and had Covid in March 2020 with scar tissue in my lungs and seizures caused by a fever of almost 104 for 4-5 days and still here to tell you don’t talk about what you don’t seem to know anything about. You can get good health care or bad health care anywhere in any country. There’s also county hospitals where I was very well treated. When it was a private hospital I made payment arrangements. I’m so happy this very courageous young lady is doing well now. She’s a fighter and God bless her
Yeah. But you also have to live in Canada. 😔
I never realised strep throat was so dangerous. It's quite a revelation.
It wasn’t strep throat but sepsis that caused that. Sepsis can be caused by many conditions
olivia thanks for informing
olivia. Absolutely right.also untreated strep can cause heart problems. Get meds and take all of them as prescribed .
The sepsis was caused by strep tho so that’s what it means
It's Strep A that causes this, it causes Necrotizing Fasciitis, which can cause both Gangrene and Sepsis at the same time.
And I know because I've had Necrotizing Fasciitis lol.
In the UK, you can get health care for free. You can just phone the doctor, and you can get an appointment for the same day/hour
Same as here in Canada.. We're quite lucky
Okay Then, Yes, same in the US. You get to see a medical professional despite you being able to pay. And you can easily apply for financial assistance after. They will reduce/completely get rid of the money you need to pay.
The us sucks lol.
Vincent Cuttolo Not true either... The E.U.'s health research accounts for 34% of global output.
A.J. Deutsch Guess who pays it. The government. I pay for your poor ass to get healthcare.

Rexhep Luzha Everyone is different.
Rexhep Luzha You currently have or had strep throat untreated?
Rexhep Luzha hers was untreated, and lasted a long time
you were probably given antibiotics or saw a dr.
Strep throat has been known to effect people who have it differently. Sometime it can turn into a rare flesh eating disease
I’ve had sepsis 3 times with the first one nearly killing me. It’s a rough thing to go through. Spent 29 days in the hospital with the first one including 2 rounds in the ICU. I feel for her. I had a fever of over 105
such a bright girl. it’s amazing how she’s still so positive about it all and is taking it as a life lesson.
She's pretty and so sweet. I love how her boyfriend and step mom love her and care for her. Im glad she recovered.
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone comments saying anything like,"WHY is her STEPMOTHER talking about the pain of almost losing her and not her MOTHER? What happened to her MOTHER?🤔
Can we just take some time to just appreciate her boyfriend right now he needs a nice round of applause
This scares me so much. I don't have health insurance either; I'm barely paying rent right now. I couldn't afford a doctor if I got sick, and as far as having a hospital bill...it would have to be something very serious to make me go, and I fear I would wait too long, like she almost did. I'm so glad she survived; I wonder how she's doing now.
If the poor girl had known to go directly to a hospital ER she would've been treated, insurance or not. Had a former coworker that had a prompt brain tumor diagnosis because she went straight to the ER. Her surgeon said that if she'd seen her family doctor then waited for an appointment to see a specialist, it might've been too late. Prayers have been answered... she's now a 10+ years survivor.
You don’t need to go to the ER for this… Stop clogging the healthcare system. She only had to because she let herself get near death. Don’t let it get this bad and just go to your primary doctor as soon as you can. Most doctors will let you come in same day. Go to an urgent care center if you don’t have a doctor.
@@dustbitten the point was that she did not have health insurance dude.
Can you get on medi-cal?
Thank you Canada for free health care (yes I know it's taxed but it helps avoid situations like this) also correct me if I'm wrong about this comment
It's Andie It couldve been free if she had gotten the treatment then applied for financial assistance at the hospital.
It's Andie and the uk
It's Andie and AUS
By law all hospitals have to treat a person regardless on their ability to pay. Afterwards she could have applied for assistance within the hospital. I have had hospitals forgive all of my debt when I was in school without insurance.
Vincent Cuttolo please stop calling her an idiot. It is not right.
I cant afford to get sick even with insurance my deductible for the whole family is $6k. Im working my ass off and paying $300+ for premium. Seriously something wrong here
+Th4IT4NIUM That's what happens when corporations donate to politicians, it gives you Paul Ryan, Hillary Clinton and everyone in between calling universal government provided healthcare a dream and not a reality when over a billion in the world already have it.
fflip8 Insurance is pure scam with the government approved.
Maybe consider moving to a similar country that has free health care for all citizens?
The uk prides it self for having great opportunities, free education, and a great enviroment to live a better life.

+Michael Hayes the UK and most other countries including Canada will _not_ accept you if you have costly medical conditions unless you already have family in the respective countries in most cases, even if the immigration officer feels that there is a compassionate reason to let them in.

I used to get strep throat all the time as a kid. I’m lucky my parents can afford health insurance
What a brave woman and that fact that she's in a positive state after her near death experience is amazing
It all started with just a Strep Throat.
I am so terrified right now. Because sometimes it's hard to tell if you only have a sore throat or a strep throat.
But her positive personality cheered me up.
I'm sorry this is ridiculous that someone would wait so long to get medical treatment because they don't have medical insurance. I'm sure the cost of the ambulance is a lot more expensive than a bottle of penicillin. I rather file for bankruptcy if I can't pay the bill than to be close to death's door. I have had strep throat on more than one occasion too and there is no way I would wait such a illness like this out!! Maybe she has a high threshold for pain, that's the only thing I can think of for all of this to happen to her.
Jeremy smith What I'm saying is that she must of had a high threshold for pain. Because now she finally went to the doctor and the bill is probably over a hundred thousand or more. Regardless, it's sad someone has to feels this way in the first place and will risk dying over going to seek medical helped because they can't afford it.
susan c exactly
Sadly, I cannot have any cillans, so if this happened I would have to do what Shelby did
:3
susan c. The video doesn't say if she knew. I would doubt she new since one must have a steep culture done first. Yes, many people get Strept and don't realize it. It runs its course without any problems. Then others have severe illness. Like chronic kidney disease and needing heart valve replacement. Sepsis, etc. Best to get it treated. Doesn't sound like she had a clue.
susan c well when you don't have money waiting it out is the best option. Not everyone can just pay for things Willy nilly. She didn't have money to pay them. So don't just assume that because you can do something means that everyone can and will.
I had strep, I am glad I was treated
Damian Wayne Albertsstuff Fan I get strep 2 times a year. hopefully over summer break I will get my tonsils taken out and I will never get strep again
Oh my god. I had strep throat twice and soon had to get my tonsils removed when I was younger. I can't imagine living the way she is now. I'm so glad I was treated when I was, anybody else that doesn't feel good, please go to your doctor. And if you have strep throat, please get treated!
I got sepsis, Could’nt hold any food or drinks down and when I lay on my side it was the most excruciating pain. I called the doctor immediately and he told me to get to the ER as fast as I could. Luckily everything was OK, I got intervenous antibiotics. They gave me so much antibiotics I gained 20 pounds in three days just from the fluids. Thank God I was OK. The doctor said I did not look like I belong in the hospital, only the test results said I belong there.
I was in the best hospital ever❤️
If you catch strep early enough you can treat it at Walgreens or cvs clinic for about $100 and they give you medicine. Free antibiotics at publix too!
So much that I complain about in life. She is such an amazing woman!
I had a strep throat before. It wasn’t a good feeling at all. I felt very sick and scared. Thankfully though, I was able to go in to see what was wrong with me. But now that I’ve seen and found this video, I didn’t realize that it could get this bad. So I’m thankful I was okay last year in April, literally on Easter Day, the weird part is this year, on the same exact day (even if Easter was a different day) I felt sick again like the year before. But I just had a bad cold and I lost my voice. I am so sorry for this happening to you and for anyone else.
Woow! We thank God for keeping you. Blessings. Thanks for inspiring us with your story.

Or even the er, pay the bill off in payments. A $350 er bill later cost her like $30,000+

I've had strep untreated, known plenty in the same situation.
Never heard of anything like this happening before, how incredibly fascinating, I'm curious if a doctor out there could explain the progression from strep to necrosis, seems like a huge leap.
She had sepsis caused by the infection her body was failing to fight off:(
I'm having a strep throat infection 2 times in a row within 3 weeks, so this week I was kind of scared. I decided to wait it out without visiting a doctor. I wanted to order penicillin or amoxicillin from Mexico but I thought it will take too long. Today is the first day when I'm starting to feel better.
