Inside the Hospital: Protecting Yourself from Medical Errors & Death

[Music] [Music] [Music] Just going right in, guys. So, welcome Just going right in, guys. So, welcome Just going right in, guys. So, welcome back. This is part two talking about back. This is part two talking about back. This is part two talking about needing an advocate for the medical needing an advocate for the medical needing an advocate for the medical system and essentially navigating really system and essentially navigating really system and essentially navigating really significant health crises within significant health crises within significant health crises within families. That's the whole arena that families. That's the whole arena that families. That's the whole arena that we're talking about here. we're talking about here. we're talking about here. So, So, So, we've seen this many times over and we we've seen this many times over and we we've seen this many times over and we understand it like it, you know, we understand it like it, you know, we understand it like it, you know, we understand why it happens, but I think understand why it happens, but I think understand why it happens, but I think it we live in a world right now you have it we live in a world right now you have it we live in a world right now you have to educate yourself on health. Like you to educate yourself on health. Like you to educate yourself on health. Like you don't really have the option to just put don't really have the option to just put don't really have the option to just put your blind trust into conventional your blind trust into conventional your blind trust into conventional medicine because if you look at the medicine because if you look at the medicine because if you look at the leading cause of death, leading cause of death, leading cause of death, it's called iatrogenic it's called iatrogenic it's called iatrogenic aka mistakes in hospitals, mistakes by aka mistakes in hospitals, mistakes by aka mistakes in hospitals, mistakes by healthc care providers. That is the healthc care providers. That is the healthc care providers. That is the leading cause of death. It's not cancer. leading cause of death. It's not cancer. leading cause of death. It's not cancer. It's not heart disease. It's not any of It's not heart disease. It's not any of It's not heart disease. It's not any of that. that. that. So you should probably take an interest So you should probably take an interest So you should probably take an interest in how can you best be your own advocate in how can you best be your own advocate in how can you best be your own advocate and also an advocate for your family. and also an advocate for your family. and also an advocate for your family. But what happens is we were, you know, But what happens is we were, you know, But what happens is we were, you know, our original podcast as we were talking our original podcast as we were talking our original podcast as we were talking about my mom had a stroke, went to the about my mom had a stroke, went to the about my mom had a stroke, went to the hospital because we were concerned it hospital because we were concerned it hospital because we were concerned it was hemorrhagic. We 100% knew we needed was hemorrhagic. We 100% knew we needed was hemorrhagic. We 100% knew we needed a CT scan. We need to see what's going a CT scan. We need to see what's going a CT scan. We need to see what's going on in the brain and we we needed to know on in the brain and we we needed to know on in the brain and we we needed to know what we were working with. And she what we were working with. And she what we were working with. And she needed to get a tube in her head. she needed to get a tube in her head. she needed to get a tube in her head. she needed to get that pressure drained from needed to get that pressure drained from needed to get that pressure drained from her brain. If that pressure stayed, her brain. If that pressure stayed, her brain. If that pressure stayed, there could have been a lot more there could have been a lot more there could have been a lot more significant problems. So, it was 100% significant problems. So, it was 100% significant problems. So, it was 100% necessary. And this is the beauty of the necessary. And this is the beauty of the necessary. And this is the beauty of the medical system is they do things like medical system is they do things like medical system is they do things like that that can make or break outcomes that that can make or break outcomes that that can make or break outcomes because if somebody had a stroke and because if somebody had a stroke and because if somebody had a stroke and there was a huge delay and that pressure there was a huge delay and that pressure there was a huge delay and that pressure built up in the brain and the inflamm built up in the brain and the inflamm built up in the brain and the inflamm inflammation built up in the brain that inflammation built up in the brain that inflammation built up in the brain that would create permanent damage in the would create permanent damage in the would create permanent damage in the brain or I don't want to say nothing is brain or I don't want to say nothing is brain or I don't want to say nothing is really actually permanent. That's a really actually permanent. That's a really actually permanent. That's a whole another podcast in itself but it whole another podcast in itself but it whole another podcast in itself but it could create bigger issues could create bigger issues could create bigger issues be a lot more difficult to overcome. be a lot more difficult to overcome. be a lot more difficult to overcome. 100% 100%. 100% 100%. 100% 100%. But in situations like this, people move But in situations like this, people move But in situations like this, people move into fear. Fear of is she going to be into fear. Fear of is she going to be into fear. Fear of is she going to be okay? Is she going to die? Is she going okay? Is she going to die? Is she going okay? Is she going to die? Is she going to have brain damage? Is she going to be to have brain damage? Is she going to be to have brain damage? Is she going to be a vegetable? Is she going to be able to a vegetable? Is she going to be able to a vegetable? Is she going to be able to walk again? And when we do that, we put walk again? And when we do that, we put walk again? And when we do that, we put trust in other parties that maybe trust in other parties that maybe trust in other parties that maybe we shouldn't. we shouldn't. we shouldn't. And And And also, when we're in that state, we can't also, when we're in that state, we can't also, when we're in that state, we can't think we can't think straight. And we're think we can't think straight. And we're think we can't think straight. And we're just like, "Whatever needs to be done, just like, "Whatever needs to be done, just like, "Whatever needs to be done, whatever needs to be done, give her whatever needs to be done, give her whatever needs to be done, give her whatever. Oh my god, she's in pain. Oh, whatever. Oh my god, she's in pain. Oh, whatever. Oh my god, she's in pain. Oh, she's having a panic attack. Give her she's having a panic attack. Give her she's having a panic attack. Give her the medication. Give her the the medication. Give her the the medication. Give her the medication." And if you don't ask medication." And if you don't ask medication." And if you don't ask questions questions questions and you don't and you don't and you don't even use [  ] Google at minimum, even use [  ] Google at minimum, even use [  ] Google at minimum, serious [  ] can happen. serious [  ] can happen. serious [  ] can happen. And essentially what I'll lead with here And essentially what I'll lead with here And essentially what I'll lead with here is that there were over the course of is that there were over the course of is that there were over the course of the past three and a half weeks that my the past three and a half weeks that my the past three and a half weeks that my mom went from e emergency room into a mom went from e emergency room into a mom went from e emergency room into a rehab, rehab, rehab, there have been three different there have been three different there have been three different medications advised on three different medications advised on three different medications advised on three different occasions occasions occasions that were contradictory, contraindicated that were contradictory, contraindicated that were contradictory, contraindicated to stroke. to stroke. to stroke. One of the drugs, the primary side One of the drugs, the primary side One of the drugs, the primary side effect was death. effect was death. effect was death. And you know why I know that? It is And you know why I know that? It is And you know why I know that? It is because one, I asked questions. And two, because one, I asked questions. And two, because one, I asked questions. And two, Google. Literally, you can go on Google, Google. Literally, you can go on Google, Google. Literally, you can go on Google, you can type in the name of a you can type in the name of a you can type in the name of a medication, and right after you type in medication, and right after you type in medication, and right after you type in the name, you type in package insert. It the name, you type in package insert. It the name, you type in package insert. It gives you the exact PDF of the little gives you the exact PDF of the little gives you the exact PDF of the little insert that goes in the box with the insert that goes in the box with the insert that goes in the box with the medication. gives you all of the side medication. gives you all of the side medication. gives you all of the side effects, the contraindications, blackbox effects, the contraindications, blackbox effects, the contraindications, blackbox warning, warning, warning, everything, anything that you need to everything, anything that you need to everything, anything that you need to know is in that package insert. know is in that package insert. know is in that package insert. And so they re they recommended a drug And so they re they recommended a drug And so they re they recommended a drug to help with spasming in her arm because to help with spasming in her arm because to help with spasming in her arm because her arm is still not really operational her arm is still not really operational her arm is still not really operational from the stroke. And so they said, you from the stroke. And so they said, you from the stroke. And so they said, you know, we want to be proactive and make know, we want to be proactive and make know, we want to be proactive and make sure she doesn't get any muscle spasms sure she doesn't get any muscle spasms sure she doesn't get any muscle spasms in her left arm. Sounds so benign, in her left arm. Sounds so benign, in her left arm. Sounds so benign, right? Like, oh, okay. I don't I don't right? Like, oh, okay. I don't I don't right? Like, oh, okay. I don't I don't want my mom to have muscle spasms in her want my mom to have muscle spasms in her want my mom to have muscle spasms in her arm. arm. arm. But But But I'm like, what's the drug? I would like I'm like, what's the drug? I would like I'm like, what's the drug? I would like to know the name. I would like to know to know the name. I would like to know to know the name. I would like to know the dose that you're going to recommend. the dose that you're going to recommend. the dose that you're going to recommend. I would like to know how often you're I would like to know how often you're I would like to know how often you're going to give it to her, etc., etc. going to give it to her, etc., etc. going to give it to her, etc., etc. Go on my lovely friend Google, put in Go on my lovely friend Google, put in Go on my lovely friend Google, put in the medication name, put in package the medication name, put in package the medication name, put in package insert. this was the drug contraind insert. this was the drug contraind insert. this was the drug contraind indicated to stroke. If someone has had indicated to stroke. If someone has had indicated to stroke. If someone has had a stroke, there is a strong probability a stroke, there is a strong probability a stroke, there is a strong probability that they would have another stroke. But that they would have another stroke. But that they would have another stroke. But if she did have another stroke in the if she did have another stroke in the if she did have another stroke in the hospital or in the rehab, they would hospital or in the rehab, they would hospital or in the rehab, they would have been like, "Oh have been like, "Oh have been like, "Oh yeah, well, you know, she had one, so it yeah, well, you know, she had one, so it yeah, well, you know, she had one, so it makes sense she had another. The problem makes sense she had another. The problem makes sense she had another. The problem is still there when it's actually is still there when it's actually is still there when it's actually medication induced." And medication induced." And medication induced." And [Music] [Music] [Music] And literally the primary side effect And literally the primary side effect And literally the primary side effect was [  ] death. All to eliminate the possibility All to eliminate the possibility All to eliminate the possibility of a [  ] muscle spasm. How's this benefiting you in this moment? It makes me very happy in this moment? It makes me very happy in this moment? It makes me very happy about what I [  ] do about what I [  ] do about what I [  ] do in that moment when you look up the in that moment when you look up the in that moment when you look up the package insert and you're like [  ] package insert and you're like [  ] package insert and you're like [  ] dumb asses. Well, how does it benefit me? This is, Well, how does it benefit me? This is, Well, how does it benefit me? This is, by the way, this is what Nick does to by the way, this is what Nick does to by the way, this is what Nick does to you when you work with us. you when you work with us. you when you work with us. Um, Um, Um, it makes me more educated in it makes me more educated in it makes me more educated in knowing that medication should be the knowing that medication should be the knowing that medication should be the last resort and that the body is very last resort and that the body is very last resort and that the body is very strong and very powerful and very strong and very powerful and very strong and very powerful and very resilient and especially when you give resilient and especially when you give resilient and especially when you give it what it needs and you don't put it what it needs and you don't put it what it needs and you don't put things in that things in that things in that have crazy side effects. have crazy side effects. have crazy side effects. Yes. And I would still challenge that Yes. And I would still challenge that Yes. And I would still challenge that that's actually a superficial level. Um that's actually a superficial level. Um that's actually a superficial level. Um because deeper you started out that you because deeper you started out that you because deeper you started out that you know we we say yes, you know, initially know we we say yes, you know, initially know we we say yes, you know, initially because many different reasons, but it's because many different reasons, but it's because many different reasons, but it's all coming back to a state of fear. all coming back to a state of fear. all coming back to a state of fear. And when we're in a state of fear, you And when we're in a state of fear, you And when we're in a state of fear, you said that we give our trust to somebody said that we give our trust to somebody said that we give our trust to somebody else, somebody that has more certainty. else, somebody that has more certainty. else, somebody that has more certainty. Unfortunately, most of that certainty Unfortunately, most of that certainty Unfortunately, most of that certainty through the medical system isn't beneficial certainty to an extent. Maybe beneficial certainty to an extent. Maybe beneficial certainty to an extent. Maybe beneficial for the spasm, but you know, beneficial for the spasm, but you know, beneficial for the spasm, but you know, not beneficial for creating another not beneficial for creating another not beneficial for creating another stroke or possibly killing the person. stroke or possibly killing the person. stroke or possibly killing the person. So what you actually did in that process So what you actually did in that process So what you actually did in that process and how it benefited you is it made you and how it benefited you is it made you and how it benefited you is it made you increase the strength of your neural increase the strength of your neural increase the strength of your neural pathways of your belief systems of your pathways of your belief systems of your pathways of your belief systems of your thinking to say thinking to say thinking to say universe throw anything you can at me universe throw anything you can at me universe throw anything you can at me you know because you right now you're you know because you right now you're you know because you right now you're throwing the possibility of me losing my throwing the possibility of me losing my throwing the possibility of me losing my mom and I just have the ability to mom and I just have the ability to mom and I just have the ability to overcome fear to be more certain myself. overcome fear to be more certain myself. overcome fear to be more certain myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To be more empowered myself, the more To be more empowered myself, the more To be more empowered myself, the more empowered you are, power is a direct empowered you are, power is a direct empowered you are, power is a direct direct correlation to the amount of love direct correlation to the amount of love direct correlation to the amount of love you have for yourself. you have for yourself. you have for yourself. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Anytime that you're disempowered. It's Anytime that you're disempowered. It's Anytime that you're disempowered. It's just it's the amount of unability to just it's the amount of unability to just it's the amount of unability to love yourself. And you can't love your love yourself. And you can't love your love yourself. And you can't love your mom if you don't love yourself. So, you mom if you don't love yourself. So, you mom if you don't love yourself. So, you had to love yourself enough to be able had to love yourself enough to be able had to love yourself enough to be able to ask questions to be able to increase to ask questions to be able to increase to ask questions to be able to increase the certainty to be able to provide for the certainty to be able to provide for the certainty to be able to provide for your mom. Yeah. your mom. Yeah. your mom. Yeah. And that's the opportunity that was And that's the opportunity that was And that's the opportunity that was given to you, which is [  ] beautiful given to you, which is [  ] beautiful given to you, which is [  ] beautiful because there's not many moments in life because there's not many moments in life because there's not many moments in life that will challenge certainty and give that will challenge certainty and give that will challenge certainty and give you fear to the aspect of losing a you fear to the aspect of losing a you fear to the aspect of losing a family member. family member. family member. Yeah. But it's like I also think it goes Yeah. But it's like I also think it goes Yeah. But it's like I also think it goes back to what you always say is, you back to what you always say is, you back to what you always say is, you know, the the quality of your of your know, the the quality of your of your know, the the quality of your of your life is dictated by quality questions. life is dictated by quality questions. life is dictated by quality questions. And it's like the quality of your And it's like the quality of your And it's like the quality of your outcomes is dictated by quality outcomes is dictated by quality outcomes is dictated by quality questions. And I think that a lot of questions. And I think that a lot of questions. And I think that a lot of people don't know the right questions to people don't know the right questions to people don't know the right questions to ask when you're in a hospital setting, ask when you're in a hospital setting, ask when you're in a hospital setting, when you're in an emergency setting. And when you're in an emergency setting. And when you're in an emergency setting. And don't get me wrong, there's a very don't get me wrong, there's a very don't get me wrong, there's a very powerful authoritative energy coming powerful authoritative energy coming powerful authoritative energy coming from doctors and nurses. They don't want from doctors and nurses. They don't want from doctors and nurses. They don't want you to challenge them. They don't like you to challenge them. They don't like you to challenge them. They don't like being asked questions. At one point being asked questions. At one point being asked questions. At one point there was a doctor that got very intense there was a doctor that got very intense there was a doctor that got very intense with um my dad and then I had to step in with um my dad and then I had to step in with um my dad and then I had to step in and he, you know, he was able to to and he, you know, he was able to to and he, you know, he was able to to soften when he he understood why we were soften when he he understood why we were soften when he he understood why we were asking the questions that we were. So, I asking the questions that we were. So, I asking the questions that we were. So, I understand how people kind of get punked understand how people kind of get punked understand how people kind of get punked out in these types of situations, but out in these types of situations, but out in these types of situations, but you [  ] have every right to be you [  ] have every right to be you [  ] have every right to be asking questions to understand the whole asking questions to understand the whole asking questions to understand the whole picture of how a family member is being picture of how a family member is being picture of how a family member is being being treated and what's being being treated and what's being being treated and what's being recommended. You know, uh, one of the recommended. You know, uh, one of the recommended. You know, uh, one of the other factors that I I think that could other factors that I I think that could other factors that I I think that could have been very very confusing for family have been very very confusing for family have been very very confusing for family members in this same situation that members in this same situation that members in this same situation that we've been in is that uh, when my mom we've been in is that uh, when my mom we've been in is that uh, when my mom was first admitted and it was in the was first admitted and it was in the was first admitted and it was in the within the first week where she was in within the first week where she was in within the first week where she was in the emergency room, you know, of course, the emergency room, you know, of course, the emergency room, you know, of course, we're evaluating, we're observing her in we're evaluating, we're observing her in we're evaluating, we're observing her in a um, not a great cognitive state a um, not a great cognitive state a um, not a great cognitive state and we're trying we're looking at this and we're trying we're looking at this and we're trying we're looking at this of like is this damage from the stroke? of like is this damage from the stroke? of like is this damage from the stroke? Is this damage from the hemorrhage? Is Is this damage from the hemorrhage? Is Is this damage from the hemorrhage? Is this medication induced? Like what is this medication induced? Like what is this medication induced? Like what is this? It's hard to know. It's very hard this? It's hard to know. It's very hard this? It's hard to know. It's very hard to know even when you're you know asking to know even when you're you know asking to know even when you're you know asking questions. And at one point my mom was questions. And at one point my mom was questions. And at one point my mom was they sat her up and she was slopped over they sat her up and she was slopped over they sat her up and she was slopped over to the to the side which was her left to the to the side which was her left to the to the side which was her left side which is the side of paralysis. side which is the side of paralysis. side which is the side of paralysis. And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is And she's like, "Oh, like and I, this is going to be kind of funny because I going to be kind of funny because I going to be kind of funny because I asked my mom, I go, "Oh, how do you feel asked my mom, I go, "Oh, how do you feel asked my mom, I go, "Oh, how do you feel in this moment? Like, do you feel in this moment? Like, do you feel in this moment? Like, do you feel anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you anxious? Do you feel worried? Do you feel calm? Like, what do you feel right feel calm? Like, what do you feel right feel calm? Like, what do you feel right now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, now? Do you feel confused?" She's like, "I feel really relaxed." "I feel really relaxed." "I feel really relaxed." I was like, "You ain't never relaxed." I was like, "You ain't never relaxed." I was like, "You ain't never relaxed." So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the phone." I So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the phone." I So, I put I go, "Dad, turn the phone." I go, "She's high as fuck." And it turned go, "She's high as fuck." And it turned go, "She's high as fuck." And it turned out that they were giving her excessive out that they were giving her excessive out that they were giving her excessive amounts of oxycodon, amounts of oxycodon, amounts of oxycodon, which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It which is a narcotic. It's an opioid. It is literally essentially the same thing is literally essentially the same thing is literally essentially the same thing as heroin. It's just timereleased. as heroin. It's just timereleased. as heroin. It's just timereleased. And I started to, you know, and listen, And I started to, you know, and listen, And I started to, you know, and listen, she just had a stroke. I imagine that it she just had a stroke. I imagine that it she just had a stroke. I imagine that it feels like somebody put a a spike feels like somebody put a a spike feels like somebody put a a spike through her head. I am not going to be through her head. I am not going to be through her head. I am not going to be ignorant to that to say get her off all ignorant to that to say get her off all ignorant to that to say get her off all these pain medications. But one, there these pain medications. But one, there these pain medications. But one, there are other pain medication options. Why are other pain medication options. Why are other pain medication options. Why was the first option to put her on was the first option to put her on was the first option to put her on oxycodone? It's not that it's the oxycodone? It's not that it's the oxycodone? It's not that it's the strongest out there and nothing else strongest out there and nothing else strongest out there and nothing else competes with it. That's not the case at competes with it. That's not the case at competes with it. That's not the case at all. There there's morphine. There's all. There there's morphine. There's all. There there's morphine. There's other there's other opportunities. other there's other opportunities. other there's other opportunities. And so I started to ask questions. I'm And so I started to ask questions. I'm And so I started to ask questions. I'm like, you know, what's our reasoning for like, you know, what's our reasoning for like, you know, what's our reasoning for putting her on oxycodone? Number one. putting her on oxycodone? Number one. putting her on oxycodone? Number one. Number two is what is the what is the Number two is what is the what is the Number two is what is the what is the max dose you'll go to um in her max dose you'll go to um in her max dose you'll go to um in her situation? And how many times a day situation? And how many times a day situation? And how many times a day are you allowed to administer this? They are you allowed to administer this? They are you allowed to administer this? They could go up to 10 milligrams up to six could go up to 10 milligrams up to six could go up to 10 milligrams up to six times a day. 60 milligrams of oxycodon times a day. 60 milligrams of oxycodon times a day. 60 milligrams of oxycodon for, you know, a 5'2 woman. for, you know, a 5'2 woman. for, you know, a 5'2 woman. You want her to become an addict because You want her to become an addict because You want her to become an addict because all you have to do is give her one 10 all you have to do is give her one 10 all you have to do is give her one 10 milligram dose per day and she'll be an milligram dose per day and she'll be an milligram dose per day and she'll be an addict. Did you take a history on any addict. Did you take a history on any addict. Did you take a history on any type of addiction tendencies? Nope. None type of addiction tendencies? Nope. None type of addiction tendencies? Nope. None of that. You know, we feel the benefit of that. You know, we feel the benefit of that. You know, we feel the benefit outweighs the risk. The way they answer outweighs the risk. The way they answer outweighs the risk. The way they answer you is like, you know, it's very you is like, you know, it's very you is like, you know, it's very robotic. They have been trained very, robotic. They have been trained very, robotic. They have been trained very, very well. And I was like, guess what? very well. And I was like, guess what? very well. And I was like, guess what? Why don't we [  ] try Tylenol? Why don't we [  ] try Tylenol? Why don't we [  ] try Tylenol? Tylenol coding. Tylenol coding. Tylenol coding. And let's just we're no hard no on the And let's just we're no hard no on the And let's just we're no hard no on the oxy. And literally, she looked like a oxy. And literally, she looked like a oxy. And literally, she looked like a heroin addict. And because heroin addict. And because heroin addict. And because unfortunately, you know, there was unfortunately, you know, there was unfortunately, you know, there was you can tell just by looking at her eyes you can tell just by looking at her eyes you can tell just by looking at her eyes like, you know, there's a difference like, you know, there's a difference like, you know, there's a difference when looking at somebody's eyes that's when looking at somebody's eyes that's when looking at somebody's eyes that's going to be the nervous system is going going to be the nervous system is going going to be the nervous system is going to be affected by both the drugs and to be affected by both the drugs and to be affected by both the drugs and stroke, but you know, the stroke the stroke, but you know, the stroke the stroke, but you know, the stroke the eyes are going to look completely eyes are going to look completely eyes are going to look completely different. Um, and you could tell those different. Um, and you could tell those different. Um, and you could tell those drug induced really small. drug induced really small. drug induced really small. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But but then in addition, you know, But but then in addition, you know, But but then in addition, you know, there are many people that might be there are many people that might be there are many people that might be listening here that have taken um sleep listening here that have taken um sleep listening here that have taken um sleep medications. You know, ambient is the medications. You know, ambient is the medications. You know, ambient is the most commonly prescribed one. And so one most commonly prescribed one. And so one most commonly prescribed one. And so one morning we saw that she was really morning we saw that she was really morning we saw that she was really cognitively off again. And then it cognitively off again. And then it cognitively off again. And then it turned out my dad leaves at night turned out my dad leaves at night turned out my dad leaves at night because he has to go home. They have a because he has to go home. They have a because he has to go home. They have a dog, take care of the dog, and then he dog, take care of the dog, and then he dog, take care of the dog, and then he always goes back early in the morning. always goes back early in the morning. always goes back early in the morning. And he's like, "Something's off. And he's like, "Something's off. And he's like, "Something's off. Something's weird." And it turned out Something's weird." And it turned out Something's weird." And it turned out that she couldn't sleep. So they came in that she couldn't sleep. So they came in that she couldn't sleep. So they came in and they gave her ambient. And ambient and they gave her ambient. And ambient and they gave her ambient. And ambient contraindicated for brain injury. Number contraindicated for brain injury. Number contraindicated for brain injury. Number one. Number two is it can make you uh one. Number two is it can make you uh one. Number two is it can make you uh delirious, hallucinatory, especially if delirious, hallucinatory, especially if delirious, hallucinatory, especially if there's brain inflammation already. And there's brain inflammation already. And there's brain inflammation already. And you know, she was acting bizarre. She you know, she was acting bizarre. She you know, she was acting bizarre. She was having a panic attack, etc. And it was having a panic attack, etc. And it was having a panic attack, etc. And it was because of the ambient. Um so then, was because of the ambient. Um so then, was because of the ambient. Um so then, you know, when we're like, okay, so no you know, when we're like, okay, so no you know, when we're like, okay, so no oxycodon, no ambient. And once we oxycodon, no ambient. And once we oxycodon, no ambient. And once we finally signed off that she was not finally signed off that she was not finally signed off that she was not going to be put on any of these going to be put on any of these going to be put on any of these mindaltering types of medications, we're mindaltering types of medications, we're mindaltering types of medications, we're like, whoa, there she is. There's like, whoa, there she is. There's like, whoa, there she is. There's there's the woman we knew. Don't get me there's the woman we knew. Don't get me there's the woman we knew. Don't get me wrong, is she struggling with words? She wrong, is she struggling with words? She wrong, is she struggling with words? She gets a, you know, it's she's a little gets a, you know, it's she's a little gets a, you know, it's she's a little slower to respond. She gets, you know, slower to respond. She gets, you know, slower to respond. She gets, you know, her words twisted a little bit. That's her words twisted a little bit. That's her words twisted a little bit. That's her brain's still inflamed. Like, we her brain's still inflamed. Like, we her brain's still inflamed. Like, we expect that. We don't think it's expect that. We don't think it's expect that. We don't think it's permanent, but we expect that there's permanent, but we expect that there's permanent, but we expect that there's going to be some level of difference going to be some level of difference going to be some level of difference from who she was prior to the stroke. from who she was prior to the stroke. from who she was prior to the stroke. And but as soon as we got those drugs And but as soon as we got those drugs And but as soon as we got those drugs out of the picture, we're able to really out of the picture, we're able to really out of the picture, we're able to really see where she's at. see where she's at. see where she's at. But it could, you know, think about But it could, you know, think about But it could, you know, think about fueling your fear and anxiety and your fueling your fear and anxiety and your fueling your fear and anxiety and your worry is when you're looking at a person worry is when you're looking at a person worry is when you're looking at a person you love and you're like, "What's wrong you love and you're like, "What's wrong you love and you're like, "What's wrong with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" with them? What's wrong? What's wrong?" And it has nothing to do with what And it has nothing to do with what And it has nothing to do with what damage is actually there. It has to do damage is actually there. It has to do damage is actually there. It has to do with the [  ] drugs they're giving with the [  ] drugs they're giving with the [  ] drugs they're giving them. them. them. Yeah. It's I mean it's very it's almost Yeah. It's I mean it's very it's almost Yeah. It's I mean it's very it's almost impossible to make intelligent objective impossible to make intelligent objective impossible to make intelligent objective decisions when decisions when decisions when subjectively everything's been altered. subjectively everything's been altered. subjectively everything's been altered. Yeah. And and then they were also giving Yeah. And and then they were also giving Yeah. And and then they were also giving her drugs like tradone and gabapentin. her drugs like tradone and gabapentin. her drugs like tradone and gabapentin. For those of you interested in knowing For those of you interested in knowing For those of you interested in knowing about those drugs, we have a blog on our about those drugs, we have a blog on our about those drugs, we have a blog on our website goes in depth about it, but website goes in depth about it, but website goes in depth about it, but they've found that both of those drugs they've found that both of those drugs they've found that both of those drugs create neuronal damage, damage to the create neuronal damage, damage to the create neuronal damage, damage to the neurons. Why are we creating more neurons. Why are we creating more neurons. Why are we creating more neuronal damage in a person that already neuronal damage in a person that already neuronal damage in a person that already has damage from a stroke to the brain? has damage from a stroke to the brain? has damage from a stroke to the brain? So, it's just the the standard and and So, it's just the the standard and and So, it's just the the standard and and what is allowed what is allowed what is allowed in these settings is to me [  ] in these settings is to me [  ] in these settings is to me [  ] crazy. But it's to to them as I'm having crazy. But it's to to them as I'm having crazy. But it's to to them as I'm having conversations with these health care conversations with these health care conversations with these health care professionals in the hospital, they're professionals in the hospital, they're professionals in the hospital, they're just like, "Oh, okay." You know, well, just like, "Oh, okay." You know, well, just like, "Oh, okay." You know, well, you know, we we just felt like she had you know, we we just felt like she had you know, we we just felt like she had nerve pain. You know, she's been saying nerve pain. You know, she's been saying nerve pain. You know, she's been saying her back hurts. So, we just thought that her back hurts. So, we just thought that her back hurts. So, we just thought that that was appropriate. I'm like, "Yeah, that was appropriate. I'm like, "Yeah, that was appropriate. I'm like, "Yeah, but the whole reason she's there is but the whole reason she's there is but the whole reason she's there is because of a stroke." So, can like did because of a stroke." So, can like did because of a stroke." So, can like did we forget that? Like, what's happening we forget that? Like, what's happening we forget that? Like, what's happening here? It here? It here? It just I I think their training isn't, just I I think their training isn't, just I I think their training isn't, you know, you know, you know, it's patch patch. Oh, my toe hurts. Oh, it's patch patch. Oh, my toe hurts. Oh, it's patch patch. Oh, my toe hurts. Oh, we're give you something for that. Oh, we're give you something for that. Oh, we're give you something for that. Oh, my back hurts. We'll give you something my back hurts. We'll give you something my back hurts. We'll give you something for that. And it's like for that. And it's like for that. And it's like they lose sight of the whole reason she they lose sight of the whole reason she they lose sight of the whole reason she was there. They're not interested in was there. They're not interested in was there. They're not interested in actually rehabbing the stroke. They're actually rehabbing the stroke. They're actually rehabbing the stroke. They're just interested in just making sure that just interested in just making sure that just interested in just making sure that she's comfortable so they don't get sued or Yeah. There's not so much I can say or Yeah. There's not so much I can say or Yeah. There's not so much I can say on a podcast. on a podcast. on a podcast. Yeah. So, So, So, so the point that we're bringing this to so the point that we're bringing this to so the point that we're bringing this to your attention is because your attention is because your attention is because one, one, one, if somebody goes into a hospital setting if somebody goes into a hospital setting if somebody goes into a hospital setting and [  ] starts to go bad, [  ] starts and [  ] starts to go bad, [  ] starts and [  ] starts to go bad, [  ] starts to go downhill because I hear this a to go downhill because I hear this a to go downhill because I hear this a lot. lot. lot. This might not be because oh the health This might not be because oh the health This might not be because oh the health is just declining or this person is just is just declining or this person is just is just declining or this person is just you know this is just the the reality you know this is just the the reality you know this is just the the reality for this person this condition this for this person this condition this for this person this condition this heart attack this stroke this whatever heart attack this stroke this whatever heart attack this stroke this whatever it could be the interventions not being it could be the interventions not being it could be the interventions not being appropriate for the person. It could be appropriate for the person. It could be appropriate for the person. It could be the interventions that are actually the interventions that are actually the interventions that are actually problematic. problematic. problematic. So you need to ask questions and if you So you need to ask questions and if you So you need to ask questions and if you don't know the [  ] answer to the don't know the [  ] answer to the don't know the [  ] answer to the questions if you don't know like what questions if you don't know like what questions if you don't know like what does this medication do? you don't you does this medication do? you don't you does this medication do? you don't you don't know then hire someone who can don't know then hire someone who can don't know then hire someone who can help you someone who can be an advocate help you someone who can be an advocate help you someone who can be an advocate that is looking at the big picture use that is looking at the big picture use that is looking at the big picture use Google for the love of Pete like and use Google for the love of Pete like and use Google for the love of Pete like and use that tool that we just told you put the that tool that we just told you put the that tool that we just told you put the medication in and type in package insert medication in and type in package insert medication in and type in package insert and you could at least have some and you could at least have some and you could at least have some information and ask quality questions information and ask quality questions information and ask quality questions like oh I see here that the package like oh I see here that the package like oh I see here that the package insert says these side effects are insert says these side effects are insert says these side effects are possible you know why would we want to possible you know why would we want to possible you know why would we want to give this you know how long would we be give this you know how long would we be give this you know how long would we be giving this for etc etc and so it allows giving this for etc etc and so it allows giving this for etc etc and so it allows you to feel more empowered in these you to feel more empowered in these you to feel more empowered in these conversations and not make decisions out conversations and not make decisions out conversations and not make decisions out of fear, but make decisions that you of fear, but make decisions that you of fear, but make decisions that you feel like are more aligned to the feel like are more aligned to the feel like are more aligned to the outcomes that you desire and and also outcomes that you desire and and also outcomes that you desire and and also you you have to understand how powerful you you have to understand how powerful you you have to understand how powerful the body is and how resilient the body the body is and how resilient the body the body is and how resilient the body is. It is not that you know the is. It is not that you know the is. It is not that you know the hospitals and and most medical hospitals and and most medical hospitals and and most medical professionals they want to give you professionals they want to give you professionals they want to give you worst case scenario because worst case scenario because worst case scenario because honestly they don't want to give you honestly they don't want to give you honestly they don't want to give you hope that doesn't it doesn't turn out hope that doesn't it doesn't turn out hope that doesn't it doesn't turn out that way. They don't want to say oh well that way. They don't want to say oh well that way. They don't want to say oh well it's possible for full recovery and then it's possible for full recovery and then it's possible for full recovery and then if the person doesn't have full recovery if the person doesn't have full recovery if the person doesn't have full recovery and now you're saying but you said that and now you're saying but you said that and now you're saying but you said that there was a possibility for full there was a possibility for full there was a possibility for full recovery. They don't want to take that recovery. They don't want to take that recovery. They don't want to take that responsibility. And so, you know, you have to understand And so, you know, you have to understand And so, you know, you have to understand that you're being given worst case that you're being given worst case that you're being given worst case scenario information because that's a scenario information because that's a scenario information because that's a way that they kind of cover their ass. way that they kind of cover their ass. way that they kind of cover their ass. You know, it's a way that they don't get You know, it's a way that they don't get You know, it's a way that they don't get themselves in trouble for saying the themselves in trouble for saying the themselves in trouble for saying the wrong thing.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they're instilling a belief system And they're instilling a belief system And they're instilling a belief system of worst case scenario. And if that's of worst case scenario. And if that's of worst case scenario. And if that's the belief system, the placebo effect is the belief system, the placebo effect is the belief system, the placebo effect is going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to going to say, "Hey, this isn't going to work." And then we're going to give them work." And then we're going to give them work." And then we're going to give them recommendations that are going to create recommendations that are going to create recommendations that are going to create interactions that are going to [  ] them interactions that are going to [  ] them interactions that are going to [  ] them up more. You're in a lose-lose up more. You're in a lose-lose up more. You're in a lose-lose situation. If you get out there, great. situation. If you get out there, great. situation.

I was like we conversation with my dad. I was like we conversation with my dad. I was like we need to get her discharged because now need to get her discharged because now need to get her discharged because now this is scary. Like this is like what if this is scary. Like this is like what if this is scary. Like this is like what if they give it to her? somebody doesn't they give it to her? somebody doesn't they give it to her? somebody doesn't read the notes, the chart notes that we read the notes, the chart notes that we read the notes, the chart notes that we are denying this and somebody gives it are denying this and somebody gives it are denying this and somebody gives it to her.

Like you I get this dot eye is dotted. Like you I get this dot eye is dotted. Like you I get it. We get it. But at the end of the it. We get it. But at the end of the it. We get it. But at the end of the day, it's just, you know, there has to day, it's just, you know, there has to day, it's just, you know, there has to be more of a of a level of case be more of a of a level of case be more of a of a level of case management and there has to be a deeper management and there has to be a deeper management and there has to be a deeper look at what was the origination for look at what was the origination for look at what was the origination for this person coming in opposed to just this person coming in opposed to just this person coming in opposed to just paliating symptoms. That's what we found paliating symptoms. That's what we found paliating symptoms.
