I am so fed up with the medical system that I did not want to deal with going to the hospital again. But the people that are taking care me kept pushing the issue.
So I broke down and went to the ER. They did not disappoint. The results was what I expected. They ran the standard test, that always come back clean, so "You are fine!" "Someone will be here in a second to discharge you. " "Be prepared to pay us our $5,000.00, and get the Hell out of our ER." "Have a good day." "Next!"
This video is spot on. I wish it weren't.
I spent all of 2019-2020 in and out of hospitals. I had recently moved to a different state, gotten a new job so I was still in my probation period and had no insurance at the time.
January 2019 I end up in the ER. Apparently I was going into septic shock, and was dying. I spent about a week in the hospital with no insurance. As soon as I wasn't dying I was on my way home.
This scenario happened 9 times in a single year.
They kept saying it was just diverticulitis.
(Bullspit!)
I ended up in a random ER, and it was the same ol song and dance. Only, this hospital, I could tell just wanted me outta there.
After a quick scan at my colon, I get the same thing. Diverticulitis. Go home.
Except this time I had some random young lady doctor come rushing into my room. This was not my doctor. This woman seemed to be in a panic. She asked me directly. "Sir, are you aware that you have some sort of huge growth on your colon?"
My answer was, "No."
Tears started to fall from her eyes. I could tell she was fighting breaking down about something.
As she is fighting tears she says, "Sir, I'm not supposed to tell you this, and I could get into a lot of trouble, but you have a major growth on your colon that you need to have checked immediately.
Then she rushes out.
My doctor comes in...
He says, "Everything looks fine. Just another diverticulitis attack. You're good. I'm releasing you."
Not a word about any growth...
I had an absess on my colon the size of a golf ball.
It eventually burst.
I should have died. (Which is what they were expecting all along)
Somehow, by complete miracle that absess burst and punched a whole into my bladder, completely sealed pathway between my colon and my bladder. My bladder became the absess and contained the infection goo that would have/should have been my death.
Not one doctor of mine ever mentioned any abscess until it had burst.
Motherf***ers!
Yeah, don't trust your dumb shit doctors. They don't care if you die. Not one bit. Not at all. Not even a little.
What they do care about?
Can you pay your bill...
F* the medical system here. I will NEVER set foot in another hospital. Not under my on power.
They live.
We sleep.
We sleep.
