“She wasn’t given a fair chance to fight" | Family loses 4-year-old daughter due to nurses

- Ava Agbayani spent her short life in and out of Kapiolani hospital after being born premature alongside her twin, Kailee. She suffered from chronic lung disease, cerebral palsy and epilepsy, which her former nurses treated before the strike.
No service no pay. Administrator should resign and use the money you save to pay the nurse's raises.
Please sue, grieving father, she was gone way too soon. Hospital negligence has become pathetic in America. This is why me and my family are moving away from America. Because the hospital failed to diagnose my sister as well.
Lol You won't get better care anywhere else
@@spoonypoon7998 I doubt what you’re saying is true because the doctors neglected my sisters and I’ve seen doctors kill patients for no apparent reason. A 19 and 4 year old were killed due to hospital negligence a few weeks from each other. Nurses from a hospital were fired because of a TikTok treat about “labor and delivery icks” and many babies died in their care. This medical system is ridiculous
@@spoonypoon7998 I moved to Belgium 20 years ago. You are wildly incorrect. The idea of "MURICA!" is tired.
@benu_bird the idea of universal health care is tired. I heard from people in Europe all the time. How their healthcare is horrible. And they have to wait 2-3 years for scans and by then they die of cancer..
@@spoonypoon7998No we don’t wait months for a scan! I have a full body nuclear bone scan on Monday, and it took one week to schedule. I saw my back doctor in under 2 weeks. Some specialists might take months depending upon your condition. If it’s urgent, you get care immediately. Much better than the US. And you can see any doctor anywhere.
Remember, it was a 1 day strike Kapiolani chose to lock out the nurses and hire travelers. These nurses come to Hawaii a treat it like a 3-6 month working vacation. They don't care. This is on Kapiolani.
I'm so sorry this happened to you guys, there's nothing in the world like losing a child, especially when it could have been avoided due to human error.
My hospital almost let me die in the ER when my fallopian tube exploded. I had an ectopic, told them it was likely ectopic and my OB said to go to ER if anything hurt or was bleeding, and OH BOY IT WAS, and they let me sit there for hours, screaming while everyone looked at me like I was crazy and exaggerating due to it being INSIDE my body.
Because there were about 45 people in the waiting room, and it was night time, I suffered for hours until I had my husband go scream at someone for me. I felt the rupture. I felt the blood pouring. I felt it clotting.
There are no words to describe the amazing relief when I woke from surgery.
Surgeon said the rupture was millimeters away from an artery and the entire surgical staff said there was so much blood in my abdomen, they were genuinely surprised I was walking or even conscious when I came in.
that literally sounds like a living nightmare...
That's a complete failure of triage. It seems like it's a huge problem in the US.
Sorry that happened to you , wishing you a speedy recovery .
It’s a problem in my country too. Too many nurses and not enough doctors. Nurses would rather stand around and chat - rather than actually treat anyone or even provide basic first aid.
Condolences to the Agbayani family. I hope the traveling nurses will consider the family's perspective and take care to be considerate in word and deed in future.
They shouldn't hire "travelling nurses" anymore. They treat the work like a vacation and then move on to the next city..
This is so unacceptable. The traveling nurses need to be reprimanded for their role of neglecting this child. Void their license. No monitoring the child but they had time to talk about activities when their shift was done? Hawaii Nurses showed up and they were locked out. Why? This was a vacation for the traveling nurses who are not taking the patients care seriously and neither are the Kapiolani bosses. The State now needs to step in and thoroughly investigate to ensure this doesn't happen again. Nurses need to honor the Nightingale Pledge.
Oh my God this poor family, and this poor little girl. This hospital and those nurses FAILED. May there be JUSTICE and every single person who failed this child face repercussions.
A nurse without a sense of urgency is a bad situation for any family. What happened to the doctors?
Without nurses/ancillary staff patients wouldn’t survive in a hospital. I mean proper nurses through not whomever was ignoring the cardiac monitor at this place.
Doctors juggle a much higher patient load than your typical nurse. They are pulled in every direction.
Doctors diagnose and set a course of care. Nurses carry it out. They do very different jobs. What do you think a doctor could do?
@@benu_bird Doctors round on patients, at least they are supposed to. The patient is as much their responsibility as it is the nurse. You are telling me the patient was there for multiple days and a doctor did not round to see how that patient is doing? The family didn’t express their concern to a doctor? Didn’t call management to express concern? In addition, they too have access to the chart. They can check vitals and documentation. There is a lot the doctors could have done.
Good luck having a doctor that only diagnose and set a course of treatment vs a doctor who does that, cares and engaged in patient care.
Doctors don't really know anything about administering care. They write orders, for others to carry out.
Dearest Child, RIP.
Rest easy baby girl. So sorry this happened to u💗
This is a public health emergency. Time for Green to get involved and force Kapiolani to lift the lock out. He of all people should know the importance of caring/competent nurses.
I bet you didn't say that when they were on strike.
This is beyond heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for this sweet family's tragic loss.
So sad. But not surprised. Travel RN’s come to Hawaii to get paid to work but are there for the vacation. They’re just collecting a check thinking of the next place to hike or eat or hang out.
I am sorry for your loss.
We had a similar experience when my kid had RSV back in August of 2021. We had to do a lot of the medical care ourselves. It's unacceptable.
Beautiful Ava, you are loved and remembered forever. Sending prayers and love to this beautiful girl’s family
Poor baby, she didn’t deserve that and neither did her parents. Rip to her and I hope that her parents get justice or at least find peace.
What a tradegy. Poor family. The hospital and these nurses need to be held accountable.
So you were there, please tell us all about it.
@Jose_Jimenez are you one of the nurses or related to any of the incompetent nurses? Her dad was doing the duties of the nurses, that is enough negligence to start a suite.
No amount money can make it better but I hope they sue
This is a serious case that needs to be put in court. Those nurses should’ve known better. Why work there if you’re not gonna do your job. Your job is to help and save lives. That girl wasn’t given a chance. SMH
You got your eyes on me and girl I got my eyes on you The nurses eyes are on that money girl and there's nothing He can do.
I would sue the hospital
And lose.
So sad!! 😢
I agree, but it is all sensationalized opinionated news.
Unacceptable 😡 I pray Ava’s family gets the justice they absolutely deserve! Ava deserved so much better 💔🙏🏽
Terrible, any medical malpractice lawyer worth their weight can get at least 5 million for the death of a toddler due to negligence
We’re all angry. No one ever wanted a child to die as a result of this situation. Must ask, where was her doctor in all of this? When a child is lingering precariously between here and not here, were the nurses actually responsible for that beautiful child’s life? Condolences sweet family. Hawaii embraces you in your time of grief.
He literally explains how cold and uncaring they were. It’s ok to call out bad nurses, there’s plenty of them. Plenty of good ones but letting lazy, mean ones get a pass only causes innocent people pain.
Devastating ! How do these so called heath professionals live with themselves after something heinous as this ? May her soul rest in Paradise 🙏
No matter if they were agency nurses,they should been able to do their job as a nurses.Some people should never be in the nursing field if they don't want to do the work required to help patients.
As a Nurse, this is appalling! Traveling Nurses are paid well above and beyond the norm. Licenses need to be reprimanded! Post Pandemic care has really gone downhill in so many areas as well. So sorry this little child had to pass and now her family is suffering.
Like others have mentioned, those "travelling" nurses treat the work as a paid vacation. The man said the nurses were talking infront of him about going dancing after their shift. No respectable hospital should hire those "traveling" nurses.
The family should sue the hospital for hiring these non-union nurses who didn't do their job. The family should also sue the nurses union for not negotiating well enough with the hospital. Both sides are to blame. Sue both sides for malpractice.
The nurses were on strike because the hospital was not providing enough nurses to care for all the patients. Dude…..this is exactly why we need unions!! Get a grip already. Sue the CEOs
@@carmelinhawaiiIt’s almost like you didn’t read the comment at all before replying.
@@courdferguson7225 No honey, I read it and responded to what it says. The union is not to blame. The union is fighting for the health and safety of the nurses and patients. PERIOD
They shouldn't hire those "travelling" nurses anymore. They are not professional.
Wow poor family... Heartbreaking
How are they travel nurses if they don’t have experience? I hope you get the best lawyer and sue for everything you can. The nurses who took the job should be fired too and everyone who hired them. This is why nurses are going on strike, the corrupt management.
May you be resting eternally in paradise, my
CP sissy. You didn't deserve this. 🥺💔💚🕯️
Absolutely despicable this hospital needs to be sued and shut down!!!!!
🙏🕯💔A context of perceived care. Seems left to subjectivity and variability, fine. But it therapeutically matters, maybe not always on curative level, but on an emotional and spiritual level, which can (despite skeptical woo) facilitates radical acceptance and radical compassion and gradual serenity. That which we can control to a certain extent as in that prayer, right? There are in fact certain work conditions in human capacity to control.
So so sad 😢.
🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭this is horrible
I don't see why the nurses can't work while their contract is being worked on. The hotels are in a contract dispute, but are still working.
I thought they were going to bring in travel nurses? This is so sad condolences to her family and may she rip.
Edit: Sorry I commented before watching the whole vid, those nurses needed to do their jobs.
🙏🏽💔😢
It seems like that’s all you hear is hospital staff didn’t do no wrong but they didn’t do their job to fullest otherwise little girl may still be alive
Ephesians 2:8-9
[8]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9]Not of works, lest any man should boast.
😢😢
I bet there is a biblical case against nurses going on strike.
Nope. Maybe there is, but thank goodness we don't have to live by those principles in this modern world. The hospital is the entity who accepted the admit. They also hired travelers to do the nursing duties. So there were nurses there. Apparently, not good ones, hence they are travelers. But ya, no. Nursing is a profession. just like any other profession. And it won't pass muster to expect any employee to meet expectations that nobody else would meet.
I'll clarify also diaper changing is not medical care. But.... monitoring hydration status is. And that would include monitoring and weighing diapers. And managing sats and resp status is also nursing duty. These nurses should know that conveying compassion and attention and promptness is as important as the most critical medical treatment. They failed. That likely won't rise to the level of neglect but it does make em a..holes who should go work with sleeping people, or food orders and not ill children and their families.
😢😢😢😢😢
This is awful.
think that COO needs to get fired.
Id never be able to live
This problem is going to get worse and worse. They are replacing physicians for nurse midlevels. They have no idea what they don't know. This is because they don't want to pay for a doctor and fill the facilities with lesser trained providers, then call them doctors. And won't pay nurses a fair wage. It is going to take the consumer ( patients), aligning with doctors to say no more. At very least make nurses who want to be mid levels, go to residency. We physicians have 12-15,000 hours of training before we sit for our boards. Often, the midlevel is required 800-1000 hours. Wrap your mind around this stat!
Yeah I think midlevels shouldn’t take on physician roles in hospital. I think it works fine in urgent care but in critical care the midlevels need to up the residency hours. Even 5,000 would be acceptable.
Thats not fair she wasn’t given a chance to fight!!! 😭😭😭
How do you know, were you there?
@@Jose_Jimenez did you watch the video they explained what happened and her father said so at the end untrained nurses standing around. Thats called not given a fair chance and she’s a kid!! How could they even do something like that!!!
@@Jose_Jimenez Why are you trying to play devil's advocate on a video about a child dying from medical negligence? You should be ashamed of yourself. Scumbag.
@@Jose_Jimenezyou’re next boo. I hope you don’t believe in voodoo cause i got some for trolls like you. ‼️👻🎃🥰
How about instead of making these nurses feel like they aren’t heard or wanted, how about just give them the basic needs they are begging for. How about give the people who are saving these lives the things they need. Like this is not on the nurses. This is higher up. This is on whoever isn’t doing the right things, disgusting.
That's awful, but don't blame the nurses on strike. Come on
Everyone is blaming the "travelling" nurses because it's their fault. They were not caring for patients.
No Aloha
They failed your daughter and your family absolutely heartbreaking
A bunch of selfish greedy nurses on strike
It was a 1 day strike, Kapiolani chose to lock out the nurses. This is the hospitals fault
Selfish to expect their wages to cover cost of living + education loans?
Greedy because they don't want to work 18hr long & understaffed shifts?
The hospital locked them out & brought in a gaggle of party girls. If anything this proves how critical a trained nursing team is to patient care & survival.
Grow up & get over yrself.
They are definitely NOT striking because of greed. They are striking because of their terrible working conditions they've had to endure for so many years. If you want to talk about greed, you have to take a look at the other side. It's the administrative staff and management of Kapi'olani who are full of greed. I understand that the hospital is ultimately a business, but they have the money and resources to pay these temporary nurses a very generous compensation package. Money and resources that could be used to easily honor what our local nurses are asking for - to hire more local nurses to beef up their staff to get safer staffing ratios. But instead, Kapi'olani wants to use bully tactics against the very backbone of who keeps their hospital afloat by locking them out indefinitely. They say that they care about their patients and they even say that they value their local nurses but the writing is on the wall. SHAME ON KAPI'OLANI! And quite frankly, shame on you for thinking our nurses are the greedy ones... Hope you have a blessed day
@@kaniala67 Can someone tell me what does the nurses have now as far as their contact. How much they get paid an hour, what is overtime and at what rate, what benefits do they have? Then, what are they asking for, what changes do they want? Someone must know these answers.
Such a sad story, but Dad talking about having to change his child's diapers..no wonder the nurses are on strike if everyone takes on the attitude that nurses are there to change diapers. They aren't nannies, they're nurses.
My wife is a PICU RN here at Kapi'olani. I can't speak for every nurse in the hospital or even in her unit, but I can speak on behalf of my wife. A diaper change is something so miniscule that my wife would do out of the kindness of her heart. Her motherly instinct kicks in because she genuinely cares for these patients as if they're our kids. I'd think the vast majority of our local nurses do, or they wouldn't be here. Their working conditions have been unfair for a while now but they power through it because they have to for the patients. the COVID pandemic was the breaking point for a lot of these nurses, and these are some of the ripple effects that are starting to show itself. I think the message that this dad was trying to portray with this comment was that these temporary nurses don't even have it in them to go do a simple diaper change if they see she's soiled her diaper, let alone have the urgency to provide the proper care for his daughter in a situation when she's fighting for her life. These temporary nurses' minds are not with the patients, it's on what they are going to do in their free time during this "paid vacation", i.e. dancing every night. I'm not trying to be disrespectful to you but just wanted to share my thoughts
I can see how someone might view that and as a parent if you are right there and available you should in fact change your own kids diaper, but also I've been on the opposite side and when one of my kiddos were in intensive care and wires everywhere they actually got annoyed with me changing her because they didn't want me tripping on anything serious and stated they'd rather I just let them know. I think if anything, he's just trying to point out that the care was almost non-existent.
I think he’s trying to point out that he was the only one changing the diapers. Like if he wasn’t there, his daughter would have remained in her soiled diaper
Nurses absolutely change diapers, because it affects the skin integrity and infection risk to leave it there. They change it for adults, not to say babies who can’t even do it themselves.
Would you be saying the same thing had the nurses been on strike. The father is making claims that he might have to explain in a court later on.
He might. Undoubtedly the Hospital's Lawyers are working on their Snow Job defense as we speak.
But no matter how it is spun, it still looks bad. Damage is done.
Hospital could still win in court, regardless of what testimony/evidence comes to light. They are notoriously hard to fight.
Strike or no strike, QKap should still be investigated and if there was any negligence/misconduct, it needs to be exposed and the appropriate measures/ sanctions taken.
Come what may.
Trying for free lawsuit money
Something your family would never do, I'm sure.
I smell lawsuits
It's your stinky underwear you are smelling.😂😂😂
Condolences to the Agbayani family. I hope the traveling nurses will consider the family's perspective and take care to be considerate in word and deed in future.
