@@rossmanngroup What a really nice guy, sacrificing his own pride and dignity for our amusement. We're forever indebted to this man's selfless act of service in times like these where doom and gloom are found in abundance. He knows he will never financially recover from this, but that is a sacrifice he's willing to make.
Bravo, henrythegreatamerican8136. Your commitment to all that is good will not go unnoticed. May you and your family be eternally blessed.
He is truly a great American :)
Pin of shame :D
You must be fun at parties.
When laws THAT stupid exist, you know it was passed specifically to aid incompetent, rich, fuck ups.
I was just thinking that... This shit is designed to protect rich idiots and elected officials who know nothing and drool all over themselves. If they didn't have know nothings everywhere in government and actually put experts in charge of things we wouldn't have laws about der der der man ooohhhhhhhh shiny and your fucked... But if a normal person does something they get sued, broken and lose everything they have ever owned and will ever own. Hold people to the same standards... oh wait that's right you wont...
I think you mean Uek ups.
Makes me glad I'm not in texas it can take literal decades for laws to get fixed properly you could buy a house in another state faster then most laws can be amended
Texas doesn't want the doctors going to other states. They need rich fukups, humans
TL;DR Never underestimate the power of moronic legislators who copy-paste worse than a kindergartner and have narcissism to match Elon Musk.
I have been struggling for closing in on a year with a legislative bill passed in Oregon in 2023. The law is written so badly that the Secretary of State's office implied in their response to me that there is no way for my employer (county elections office) to be 100% compliant. That probably explains why the Sec. of State's office has not created an administrative rule to explain how I-or any county elections official, truly-am supposed to do a critical part of my job.
Laws like that encourage vigilante behavior.
The point of having laws is to keep people from taking matters into their own hands. I hope the legislature recognizes that.
They know it to.
Can't malpractice if you're in a vegetative coma
And that person would be making excuses for bad behavior.
Ironically
Contributing to a culture that lacks accountability.
The only true justice is vigilante justice these days, especially when the injustice system is weapons grade corrupt
I fail to see the difference here between this completly insane law and just saying "I used a knife to stab someone to death so I can be charged with murder" vs "I used my hands to beat someone to death so I'm imune"
It's ridiculous. That is a good analogy.
It sound to me like she sued the hospital and should be suing the doctor. And the hospital is saying "he didn't use hospital stuff to make the mistake." Now maybe she can't sue the doctor personally? Or I'm mistaken?
The story isn't funny but thinking the Texas Legislature will do ANYTHING to rectify this problem is hilarious.
I spent 8 years trying to get a law passed in New York that the governor butchered. ua-cam.com/video/iqmvK9-V-Ss/v-deo.html
I am used to swimming uphill. It is the story of my life.
It's funny that I'm hearing about this medical malpractice law in texas the same week the 5th circuit upheld a case against a protest organizer because of a crime committed by an attendee. As per usual the wealthy take no responsibility even for actions done with their own two hands, and the poor are responsible for everyone around them, we truly do live in a society.
Here in Canada remeber news stories about Texas Attorney General getting in hot water re securities fraud charges which was avoided plus other legal decisions. Holding others accountable ya sure.
Texas? Stupid laws?
Must be a day ending in y.
@@rossmanngroup Then, like the carp of Eastern myth, you'll eventually turn into a ueck-ing dragon
It is quite impressive how they can truck you up, all over the floor.
Force you to pay for it. Sue you to pay for it.
But, *you* can't make them pay for it.
It's a mess.
You can sue them. But it have to be under medical malpractice.
There is, in Texas, case law supporting the criminal prosecution of medical malpractice, rather than civil suit.
The American Medical Association responded by instituting a policy of removing the license to practice medicine of any medical doctor who is convicted of any crime -- an extension of the policy previously emplaced to prevent prosecution for Driving While Intoxicated. This is why many doctors have dozens of arrests for DWI but no prosecutions.
I submitted a complaint to the Texas Medical Board. A few months later I received a response from them in writing. It arrived in an unsealed envelope--it had never been sealed and the glue was intact. Inside I found a form letter with just enough information to be a problem. The letter was blah, blah, blah, we're not gonna do anything except remove my complaint so nobody sees it. In addition to my form letter, I found another form letter to another complaintant. Only our names, addresses, and a few details had been changed. What do you do when the organization sworn to protect you from bad doctors/nurses is a literal tooth-less HIPAA violation?
Class Action.
@@OfficerRFriendly no provable damages and no lawyer will touch it. tried.
@@coleramus561let the lawyers touch this🍆, you can sue anyone you want
If he used his hands, charge him with assault.
The contact was consensual. After all, you came to the hospital and let them operate you.
@@nwkr did she plan to be fixed or broken? this is literally that.
@@nwkr so if I consent to being touched by a hairdresser and they break my nose then that's not assault?
It sound to me like she sued the hospital and should be suing the doctor. And the hospital is saying "he didn't use hospital stuff to make the mistake."
@@darrennew8211 how do you remove a part of another body without any instrument to cut the connecting vessels? ripping it out and yanking it against the next wall clearly counts as damage in my eyes....
What makes this bullshit beyond all measure imho is the fact that, regardless of damages, regardless of negligence, even omitting all of that - she is ultimately a customer, who paid through an insurance scheme yes but it is still her who is liable to pay - and she paid for a service which was NOT rendered. She didn't pay to have 'something, anything done, just slice me up and get in there' - she paid for a specific alteration, and it was not made.
Imagine your own flesh and blood vessel being treated with less importance by the courts than your fucking bathroom renovation.
I live in TX, my father passed from complications of a surgery the surgeon said he needed but he didn't. Went to numerous ERs/hosptials afterwards. Requested the same tests at each ER show what my dad's insides looked like and ER docs wouldn't authorize it saying it wasn't needed.
Fast forward to later and my dad passes at our home and a dead body is transported to the hospital. I'm leaving a ton out for legal reasons (this happened in 2015 a few months before Christmas) doctor was stuttering trying to "explain" what happened. Tried to get copies of missing medical records from that hospital and each ER where the staff acted like they had no idea who we were and everyone involved is most likely still employed.
I went to a local Walgreens, some people in line and the cashier all had terrible stories of things happening to their family members at this hospital.
The people that have the power to effect our medical industry won't because it does not, and will not effect them.
One of the drugs they used in a surgery cured a problem for six months. They refused to give me a list of them so I could research what it was.
Never had that problem when I was allowed to pay cash before obamacare since they had to tell me to get paid for it.
Which hospital was this?
My mom was a nurse who thrived as an expert witness in Texas until about 20 years ago, when they changed laws, making it practically impossible to sue for anything medical. Ironically, she died in 2020, not due to COVID itself but from negligence (and outright abuse) that occurred at a hospital during COVID. And then I left the state. Texas is a terrible place to live.
My lawyer has an expert witness. Expert witness, along with every physician and surgeon I have seen, agrees this was negligence and malpractice.
The loophole is “misuse of a tool, device, etc.” Basically, if he had done a scan and say how much bile was collecting, I could sue. However, because he ignored my symptoms and did nothing, I cannot.
Ugh. As someone who recently endured massive negative complications from a surgery, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine that, much my own, your initial thoughts upon feeling awful and hearing that something went wrong was to think, "Oh, did I not follow their instructions well enough?" It's terrible thinking that when someone else harmed you, for some reason we always seem to blame ourselves first.
I truly hope you recover well enough to not be hindered by this in anything you might wish to do. And, most importantly, I hope you find justice for this terrible wrong that was perpetrated against you.
Wouldn't "misuse of tools" include causing an injury with the scissors or whatever the surgery was done with?
This is what libertarian healthcare looks like.
@@jasonkay42 thank you so much for your kind words. Wishing you health and healing during your recovery.
@@villevalste1888 you would think, but misuse (from what I understand) would be using a tool for a purpose it was not intended. A scalpel is meant to cut. If he cut me with forceps, that would be misuse. It should be interpreted as misuse when you are in the wrong part of the organ playing around and cut someone with a scalpel.
I’m not entirely clear, and we are still exploring avenues to argue against this.
The doctor's mom is Mother Uecker.
You got me with this.
"it's just Ucker. Mother Ucker was my mother"
Yar 😂
Wouldn't the doctor's father also be a mother Ucker?
If there were ever a reason to keep your maiden name...
Doctors must be held accountable for their malpractice
I had a botched gallbladder surgery a few years ago, lawyer basically told me its not worth it because I'd max get 200k from the doctor and 200k from the hospital. Which wouldn't even pay the hospital that fixed it and the lawyer fees. So it was best just to let the insurance company not know and be left with the out of pocket expenses.
Absolutely everything is fine with the American healthcare system 🙂
@@SavvDaDon I was going to say this probably happens in other rich, developed countries but Norway is pretty damn good actually. The doctor would have lost his license to practice in this case. In Canada it is less good but you can sue and there are lots of medical malpractice lawyers.
@@SavvDaDon It is when you pay cash. then it is a private contract between you and the doc. No other parties involved.
Damage caps in medmal cases were implemented in so many states due to lobbying and gross exaggeration of how victims of these type of cases "abuse the system." The McDonald's Hot Coffee case was one of the cases used to tell voters "look, this lady bought coffee, spilled it on herself, and then sued McDonald's" without regard as to what actually happened, and the severe damages she sustained.
Lobbyists also argued that without damage caps, insurance premiums would skyrocket, hurting consumers. And what happened? Damage caps were implemented, and insurance premiums still skyrocketed.
@@dautolover I seem to recall reading that malpractice claims are like 3% of US healthcare spending. As if the issue with US healthcare is that it’s 3% too expensive.
The past few years demonstrated beyond all doubt how deep both the corruption and the incompetence in this field actually is - globally.
As someone who works in healthcare: this is messed up. The reason to sue is for compensation due damages AND to have these providers reviewed. What a terrible case
Lawyers out there - Can't you argue that the gloves are tools that the hands interact with?
I thought the same thing.
You can.
or that pulling someone's organs with your hands is aggravated assault or something?
I doubt he was bright enough to bring his own gloves he bought at harbor freight. Should be sales receipts and PO's where they were ordered from medical supply company by the hospital, making it their equipment.
@@thomquiri9860 Did they ever charge the guy who killed Houdini doing the same thing?
Baytown Methodist killed my father. Left dialysis equipment in him resulting in him not being able to receive treatment outside the hospital. They refused to see him for over a week and it resulted in him dying. We have them on tape saying they messed up and we're going to have an "internal review". No lawyer would take the case. Medical Malpractice caps would be less than court fees.
This is beyond repugnant and insane...
I feel like hands are a medical equipment.
Right!?
Gloves are
If a boxers hands can be lethal weapons then a doctors hand can be a medical instrument
@@someoneinclass1500 they can also be a lethal weapon if used improperly
surgeons dont touch anything with their hands they use medical equipment and will touch your insides through gloves (medical equipment)
also if you cut/scratch something through a surgical glove you will know because it will split like a balloon
If he was wearing gloves that's technically property. If he's actually using his bare hands, I do believe that's a workplace health violation. There should be a way to get him.
State of Indiana provides the malpractice coverage for all doctors in the state. A state board determines who can sue for malpractice with the deciding factor is whether the doctor took actions to resolve the mistakes. In my case that included ptsd from surgical awareness during the corrective surgical procedure. ( I was awake for the corrective surgery due to lack of anesthesia). You will get more compensation from your waiter tripping and stabbing you than you doctor being incompetent here.
And the worst part is that after all of that happened, you were still stuck in Indiana 😖
Holy... I am so sorry that you experienced that and have to deal with the PTSD.
I experienced anaesthesia awareness while getting knee surgery at about 11 or 12 years old, and it's something that hasn't left me over a decade later. My parents specifically told the anesthesiologist that my body metabolized medication quickly due to immune conditions and I would need to be administered more than the average child... Needless to say, they didn't listen, I regained full consciousness halfway through, and began muffled screams for help with the tube still in my throat. This was a life-saving surgery as well, done by a prestigious surgeon who was extremely dismissive about my fears going into things because I was "just a stupid kid".
I am truly truly sorry that you've experienced something similarly horrific, and I hope you find so much relief from the PTSD that I relate to on such a deep level.
Sadly, for many politicians, the definition of "personal accountability" is synonymous with "peasant accountability". Peasant being defined as "is not a member of, nor can afford to contribute to, a lobbying organization.
As long as you aren't a peasant, accountability is optional.
So is she able to sue or not? A nicked bile duct was probably done with a scalpel, a medical tool.
no...
Yeah how did the doctor cut into a duct with his bare hands?
That's what I was wondering throughout the video, cholecystectomies are typically a laparoscopic procedure nowadays and the whole thing gets recorded, I find it hard to believe that the mistake/damage was done solely with their hands, even in an open surgery, why would you reach to manipulate tissue without the use of medical equipment is beyond my comprehension
This was probably done laparoscopically. It was done with a trocater, not a scapel... regardless, a medical tool
Yeah, was that long document generated an actual legal decision from a lawsuit, or just a lawyer's accessment?
If the latter, I think the lawyer is another Ucker!
Hey um, I work in the insurance space. This is a national problem. More Perfect Union did several videos and articles about it.
Doctor glaucomflecken also have a full playlist highlighting how terrible the entire insurance system is. Highly recommend if you want a miserable laugh
There was a similar situation in FL. My prior neighbor went to a teaching hospital to get some simple surgery done (I forgot the specifics). Instead, the vast majority of her small intestine was removed (completely incorrect operation).
Her husband said that she wasn't allowed to sue that hospital for malpractice, but they did get a trivial sum of money for the mistake. Now, she has extreme dietary restrictions and reduced quality of life.
Where can we donate to her?
Health Alliance for Austin Musicians is an organization that has been paying her full insurance premiums. They also gave her insurance when she lost her job after her surgery didn't allow her to work, as well as healthcare. Her wishes are that any donations do not go to her personally, but to this organization that has helped so many like her, when nobody else would: www.myhaam.org/donate

As a physician looking to get licensed in Texas…now I wish I was a surgeon instead of a psychiatrist…I mean, not really, because I love my job and would HATE to be a surgeon, but man do they make great money. The downside of that great money should be being held to a high standard.
The first level problem is what is stated at the end: people give lip service to personal accountability then make laws and systems that do the opposite (see insurance companies that make money by denying medical payments)
The even deeper problem - NO ONE does a good enough job covering the MANY potential downsides to surgery that people sign an acknowledgement to . Those are almost as bad as the licensing agreements to use a big company’s software. I can almost 100% guarantee you this woman signed a consent for surgery stating she understood that potential consequences included the things that she experienced. (Doesn’t make it right, but that’s how things are)
accountability ... lol, that's so 80's
Is John's middle initial F by any chance. 🤔 Pretty ueckered up when you cant trust your doctors.
Ngl, it would be pretty awesome if we turned his name into a verb. Like Munson in the movie Kingpin.
Medical malpractice is one of the leading causes of death in the US
You can't trust your doctors on any topic.
My uncle was killed by malpractice on Christmas Eve about 15 years ago. My cousins were told by their attorney, if this had happened in Oklahoma, they would have been able to sue him blind. In Texas the doctor was protected.
I hope she makes/has made a full recovery.
Either something is broke with YT comments or I got black-listed, again. And I've never, to my knowledge,, done anything warranting such. Sigh.
Thank you! I am making the most of every day, and will be putting in work to change this law.
My wife went to the hospital he's listed with for the same gallbladder removal and they turned her away. We went to a different hospital the next day and they were in shock the first hospital didn't do the surgery based on her pain. Probably for the best in this case.
It took months of pain and doctors visits for me to get my gall bladder removed here in the UK and I'd been hospitalised with the pain at least 4 times and was on morphine and, again, it took the threat of legal action for them to do anything at all. Funnily enough a policeman was seen and operated on within a week of being diagnosed, strange that!!

Mr Rossmann i wish more people were like you in this world
I just got a new dentist and they required an arbitration agreement. I liked the terms that arbitration could only occur after a "good faith" negotiation to resolve the issue. If it goes to arbitration and you provide evidence of why what you asked for was fair compensation and the arbitrator doesn't agree with you, despite the evidence you present showing how what you wanted was "fair compensation" you can sue the arbitrator for not doing their job and get them to lose their mediators license. All the evidence you need is settlements for similar things and the value it settled for ask for it, then knock of 20% and explain why what you are asking for is "fair compensation" and if they don't agree you'll end up with about 100% of that amount because of all the legal fees that will arise for you to get the original asked for amount. The arbitration agreement was actually in my favor, which is why I didn't make a fuss about it.
laws aren't to there to hold people accountable. laws are to make those that lobby successfully unaccountable.
Lobbyists should be regulated and accountable. Too much lies and fud skews what the people voted for.
Hey, is there a way for her to sue for assault for damaging her body with his hands?
No, assault in most jurisdictions is defined as an intentional act causing reasonable fear of imminent alarm.
You were thinking of battery which is intentionally touching of another person in a harmful or offensive way that they don't consent to.
When you get surgery you sign a consent, you are literally asking them to touch you
probably not since it was consented to

Houston is also a major trafficking hub.

High cost was the official reason for tort reform. They said frivolous lawsuits were driving up the costs. They said they were just looking out for us, the little guy.
They lied
you seem to have fallen for the “they are all the same” propaganda that corrupt self serving politicians put out to get you to ignore this behavior when choosing who to vote for.
in the us which parties have enacted policies to control medical costs, expand medical insurance coverage and attempted to bring in universal health care… if all politicians are the same you should find evidence of both parties doing this…. but you won’t because the republicans have always been the party that looks after the wealthy elite, a good for self serving politicians, but not so good for winning elections… so throughout their history they have always forged coalitions with enough of the electorate to win, giving these people enough of what they want to get them to vote against their and the children’s best interests…. why do you think they welcomed the white supremest voters when the dems kicked them out in the late 50’s/60’s and the evangelicals who would happily vote for the devil if he hurt they people they don’t like.
Finally someone with sense, often people take one political side when issues like this occur forgetting that most of the politicians in power are already brought off shills regardless of party. Blaming only one specific party ultimately only hurts us all in the end.

This happens everyday it’s disgusting
Medical malpractice is unfortunately to be expected in Texas. I'm so glad at least one of my online friends escaped that awful state where idiots in power make things worse.
I agree this law needs to be revised. It was passed for a good reason, but it was never indexed for inflation.

My Wife is working in healthcare - specifically she is in an OR - the stories i hear... in one case a surgeon jumping from one room to another with a face shield on - and starting to operate on another patient who is open on the table - while blood from the face shield (from another patient - x) is dripping into patient y. Staff playing with patients genitals... OR contamination galore... and if you complain or say anything you are out... the healthcare industry is out and if you ever needed care and you actually knew what was going on in an OR - you would NEVER want to have anyone operate on you. THE LAST thing you want is the government providing healthcare as well..... numerous cases where police would shoot a suspect - claim the suspected attempted suicide - and they would literally force the hospital and staff to say it was an attempted suicide case when the patients charts state otherwise. Healthcare is far more fucked up than anyone here can fathom. I don't think we have any industry left in this country that has a modicum of integrity left in it. I really hope your barber gets justice or has her health return at least Louis - that is really sad. For the record its not just Texas - all over the country its like this.
Contact your representatives. How do you figure out who your representatives are? wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home Once you enter your address, the site tells you who all of your representatives are. When you click on them, it will provide you their contact information.
Thank you!

P.P.S.
For the past seven years, I have used the discord #letters-to-louis channel to read letters with content of high value, that are sorted & filtered by moderators, so when people have their thoughts/ideas that are worth reading I can see them above the fray of 18,000 comments this channel gets a day. Discord now requires forced arbitration to log in - so I can't log in. I have included a matrix link in the video description, for matrix chat. Element is a decent web client for it. If you wish to continue to have an open line to show me/send me whatever, use that, I'm not reading discord anymore. F clicking agree to that forced arbitration nonsense if I have any say over it!
Have a lovely rest of your day.
I was kind of waiting for you to find out the Texas in its own way can be as worse as New York. I live in New York; I like New York(no it's not perfect nothing is). I like going into the NYC every once in a blue moon. My friend from New York City moved to Houston and he says Texas is stupid plus the people of Texas are waking up to how bad they've screwed themselves over with how they have so few rights. Nothing's regulated which means that you can be poisoned by your neighbors and businesses. I know I was horrified when I saw the electrical system break a few years ago during the winter. I doubt they ever fix the issues from the snow storms that killed people. He says the roads are pretty bad because the drivers don't care about the rules or other drivers.
I still don't understand why he lives there because every time he calls me all he does is complain about how horrible Houston is.
I lived in Texas less than a year in Austin and I loved it. I had to take the bus or walk everywhere and I lived close to downtown. I loved it. I got to go to the SXSW festival in mid 90's. There were all these great places I got to eat. Everything was beautiful.
So let me get this right ; youre pissed that the new law puts a hard cap on frivolous lawsuits? I read the case you cited, and the guy died after 20 days in the hospital in Galveston, which indicates that that was a rare variant of cryptococcal meningitis. Further, the prices listed as fixed are rather generous. 300,000 per injury, and 100,000 per person is quite a lot of money in texas, and the state takes full responsibility for counties and municipalities wherein injuries occur.....
@@glotar1 I am asking people to contact legislators that are presently elected & have power to introduce, change, amend, or repeal laws. Legislators can do this, candidates cannot.
Damn YT censoring the hell out of this comment section or someone working for Dr Focker I mean Uecker reporting them 😂
@@rossmanngroup that is true
If that was my family. Dr. is going to catch some hands. 🙌
Victim should contact the Institute for Justice.
This is informative and unfortunate.
@kazi1 This is a first and last warning for spam with how often you comment that identical comment.
@@ChristophHoward nice
@@kazi1 To be clear that was a warning in my capacity as a Managing Moderator here
@@ChristophHoward ok
You fool you just killed her
MDs are under a different ethical bar regarding responsibility. If we are going to find every doctor that makes a deathly mistake guilty of involuntary homicide, we will be out of MDs pretty soon... There's a reason MDs need immunity to some degree....
There’s a difference between a tough decision such as medication or how to medicate, vs a deliberately ignored issue.
Oh wow! I feel also sorry for Lacy :-( I think that doctor should be headed accountable for his horrible actions agains her. My fiancee had issues after her gallbladder surgery. It’s not right.
Getting your gallbladder removed is nearly always a mistake - a side affect of America's completely backwards "medical" industry. Very sad what happened to this lady, however.
I despise the medical industry in its entirety. They genuinely don’t care about you, only making money and milking your condition for all they can. Often their treatment will just make this arguably worse than before.
Absolutely true. In addition, seems you can't walk into a doctor's office without walking out with a bunch of prescriptions.
Happens when it comes completely academic and corporate. Take away competition and there isn't really any incentive to give a good service (because that is what they are). All the licenses did seem to just make people go to school instead of learning under competent doctors with an internship (with academic learning of just the things they need to learn), but they get sent to universities more concern teaching what to think than anything worthwhile, so when they get to medical school they are already screwed up. And we can't have terrible graduate numbers, so people just get sent through.
Got focused in the 2000s, but still around much earlier. So imagine how much worse doctors will be in the future.
Lol your solution to crap private Healthcare is more privatization... This species is a joke and deserves everything it gets.
For real. Welcome to Texas.
Should be liable for cots at least.
welcome to TexASS. You will find LOTS more. I spent three years living in a "dry county." NO LIQUOR sales. Drive to the county line for the "STRIP" of stores to get your liquids.
was it dry when u moved in? XD
Try explaining to a Texan that Illinois has legal weed shops you can just walk into, and they sell liquor at the grocery store.
Me too, Upshur county, left Texas and happy again.😊
North Carolina has/had a similar problem with Fireworks (It's been some time since I've lived there... though I doubt the law has changed). You drive to the border of South Carolina and there is a cluster of Fireworks shops right across the road from Carrowinds (A six flags esque theme park). And these are rather large stores at that.
The "freedom" loving Red states that are all for freedom unless you're a woman or someone that wants alcohol.
Lacy works on "Medical Dr"... the synchronicity is mind-boggling.
Dr.Feucker needs to be fired!
Uh, so he made an incision with what, his thumbnail? I don't understand how they could claim the harm was done with hands alone.. But maybe I'm missing something obvious.
This is a bizarre case. How does someone perform surgery with their bare hands?
I knew it would happen, Texas is not the paradise you might think. More to come my friend 😥
I've had the same thing in Norway. A doctor did malpractice on me on purpose from the age of 10, and despite proof the government won't give even 1 cent of compensation.
Putting a patient on antibiotics for 6 years instead of sending them to a specialist? That's good medical practice. Not taking a blood test for 10 years while they suffer from chronic pain so bad they are crippled and several times a week they collapse as their nervous system short circuits? That's good medical practice. Denying your patient healthcare for 2 years straight? There's no proof of that because she didn't report her own malpractice so it is what it is. A patient with a blood red eye who is going blind demands to see an eye doctor 20 doctors appointments in a row? There's no proof of that because she didn't report her own malpractice so it is what it is.
I literally became disabled because of her malpractice. I gained close to 10 medical conditions because of her malpractice. And the government does not care because a malpracticing doctor's words matter more than mine, and obviously she wasn't gonna write down her evil deeds in my journal. As a bonus I got it in writing the government of Norway does not consider minors with depression, suicidal thoughts and PTSD to be mentally ill :)
did no one seriously call that out!!?...
@@feztroutthetripledeluxefan That one time she was sick and I got to see a substitute doctor instead, he said he didn't think her diagnosis of an eye infection was right. Other than that, nobody called that out.
Your response to the question of where to donate to her seems to be hidden, may I suggest a short vid dedicated to specifically that? Perhaps with the answer in the description?
Seems like UA-cam is very rough on the comments and replies today, they either broke or overclocked their censorbot, so it's likely functioning just how they intended now.
We al lneed to start eating healthier, and taking care of ourselves more. No one else will. . .
Honestly, since you relocated there, I have been waiting for this title.
Same here in UK. No consequence creates a corrupt system.
If this was one of my family member who was affected by this, and the justice system failed to protect them. I would throw my life away and dedicate it to one last very specific task. I don't think I need to elaborate.
This is absolutely insane. Im glad youre bringing a light to this. Hopefully she can get justice for this.
If not for me, then for those who encounter this after my experience. Nobody deserves this.
That's right. "Think about it." It could be any of us!
This is why you have the second amendment. A well functioning government doesn't allow this sort of crap.
grew up in a barbershop, i'll bet the shout-out is much appreciated, hard to find a good shop
Welcome to Texas🎉
The lone star is the rating.
😂 Very funny! I’m stealing it.
If we're going full retard here, wasn't he wearing gloves? that's literally not "bare hands"
Am Not laughing at you, you are doing way better than I would. Kudos to you.
You are Amazing my friend ! A Super Hero ! Keep up the Great work ! Is there any way you can run for President !!!
I’d vote for him!
Much love Louis !
I had to sign a waiver for a medical procedure that was probably written by a Malpractice Insurance Company.
It looked like it treated the Physician as a "Shade Tree Mechanic" which claimed medicine is not an exact science and a legal claim could not be made for problems caused by the procedure.
(Shade Tree Mechanic is not usually licensed to work for profit. Even though he does top quality work-there is a possibility he might be just mess things up)
Instead of my hands are my tools, it's my hands are my tangible personal property
It's almost like surgeons, lawyers and politicians are one and the same group of people 🤔
You in the wrong state for that kind accountability.
