Rebecca Brewster my sister is diabetic and the school nurse convinced her that she was fine and sent her back to class. She went into insulin shock soon after and nearly lost her life.
@@yourmother8290 yea totally. Some locations just have more serious bacteria and viruses you can get though, like Hawaii. But it should be common and id think youd only not know if you were extremely sheltered...only in metropolitan cities and never visit rural areas
I never really worried about it where I live. I live in oregon and have my whole life and have always went swimming in rivers and creeks and I normally get cuts on my legs from thorns and misc things. It possibly depends on a persons immunity and where too. If I were to go to a city I'm sure i'd get sick more likely.
Girl....you're tough. The first sign of legs aching, fever, chills, I would have been yelling at the top of my lungs to my friends, "Take me to the freaking hospital; I'm dying." With the throwing up of blood and the worry about meningitis, they would have had to physically drag me out of that hospital. So glad that you're okay...
Can we all just take a second to appreciate moms!! Her mom flew all the way to Hawaii just to get her and fly all the way back! A 12-13 hour flight!! That’s insane!! There’s NOTHING a mom won’t do for her baby!! And it’s such an awesome thing!!
You should sue that hospital for negligence, collect your coin sis, it would most likely be an easy case and prevent other patients from getting the same “treatment” you got
Richelle Barone that’s hawaii for you lol. Everything is underfunded. hospitals, schools, parks. Also rare tropical mosquito borne diseases are pretty common, and so are people who think they have them when they have the flue. I love living in hawaii 🥴
Here’s another perspective: of this hospital is already struggling financially and you sue them, what happens if they are forced to close? That would leave only one hospital in that area, which is way shittier than this one.
@@parrots4life74 yes all organs are vital , but our MOST vital organ is our brain . Everyone has a brain . Metaphorically , maybe not . But literally , yes .
Colleen Hope same. I can’t go a day without thinking I’m having a heart attack. it kind of sucks because people can make fun of it and it’s really not something to make fun of.
Colleen Hope right? and you can’t do anything about it. once you get that you have some illness or disease in your head, it’s on your mind for the rest of the day, even days.
Ashlyn Campbell yes exactly!! It’s like I don’t even have a life anymore because I spend so much time thinking about how I have a deadly illness :( literally the worse thing ever I hate it.
Your an EXTREMELY lucky girl Caitlin. My father had leptospirosis (also known as Wheels Disease here in Australia) he was in his late 40’s and about 110-120kgs and pretty healthy and fit. He got it by pig hunting in sugar cane and getting cuts on his legs and feet. He got all the symptoms that you did, but he didn’t go to a doctor as soon as you. He ended up in hospital on life support, and went from 110-120kgs to about 65kgs, and his whole body literally went Simpson’s yellow from his liver shutting down. Our local hospital got a emergency helicopter to fly a specialist in to take him to a major hospital and as soon as he took one look at dad he said he’d probably be dead before they got there. A couple days later the lady who was looking after me and my brother (dad was a single parent) got a call the hospital to bring us in to say goodbye as they were sure dad was going to die. They even got a priest in to give him his last rights. He ended up pulling through thankfully. Thank your lucky stars hun, and best wishes for your recovery
One time I sprained my ankle when I accidentally stepped in a hole and my friend had to help me walk to first aid because every time I took a step the pain was excruciating and I was crying so much and when we got to first aid she sent my friend to class and gave me a wet paper towel and my teacher sent me back to first aid because of how much I was crying and the first aider, she sent me back to class. Got home and I was in loads of pain so my mum rang my auntie (a nurse) and she came over and said it was sprained my mum was so mad at the first aider and the school in general
Medical student here. You were so unlucky. Not only did you get a very rare disease, but of those patients who contract it, only a small percentage get an advanced version of it called Weils disease, which is what you had (liver inflammation, blood platelets are low, etc). About 5-15% die from it, if they do not receive treatment. Glad to see you better!
@@DandyBeingTandi Leptospirosis is actually caused by a bacteria that is corkscrew shape. It's luckily easily (somewhat) treatable by strong antibiotics. It responds really well and then it's just recovering from the damage done. Luckily, it sounds like only her liver and not her kidneys were affected and the liver regenerates really well. I also got Lepto earlier this year so beyond working in the veterinary field, I got very intimate with how to deal with it in a human.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 only 5-15% die if untreated (meaning up to 95% of ppl without meds get over it on their own- I assume the ones that die have weakened immune systems)... almost died 😵 but still went in the ocean, drank alcohol, etc 🤣
Candice Cart Not exactly. If you don’t get treated you’re looking at kidney damage and possibly more. I was hospitalized for meningitis, which is considered life threatening immediately and can lead to permanent brain damage. It’s listed as one of the symptoms of leptospirosis. In the veterinary industry it’s unfortunately usually a death sentence because treatments like dialysis are needed but not easily available. Really the key is that Leptospirosis crosses into severe and dangerous quickly. It’s not a minor bacteria and it doesn’t go away on its own. It just crosses into a more serious stage.
Why does this have almost 200 likes? That data was taken in 2015, literally says it right next to it. She clearly just forgot the actual number when filming the video.
BassFartz most people go “undiagnosed” because at least for the hospital I went to they didn’t want to pay for the test and go through all the paperwork for the cdc. They tested me for everything else and because you can’t actually do anything for it a diagnosis doesn’t change anything.
Me! And any wrongs I do like I get mad or am Uber tired and then my period happens I’m like oh okay haha:p it’s like the person with the calculating over their head haha:p
When my husband was 25, he caught chicken pox from our kids, a few days into his illness he started hallucinating, he was covered in oozing blisters and was burning up with fever. I took him to the ER, when we got there they would not give me a wheelchair, so I had to ask a passerby to help me carry him inside, ( the man had had chicken pox as a kid) . The ER room was full of pregnant women, children and elderly people and my husband was covered in open blisters but the triage people refused to put us in an isolation room or to wheel ou a gurney for him to lay down. I had to go and tell people to get away from us because my husband was infectious. They made us wait for 45 minutes before they let us in one of the bays and then the doctor had the gall to chastise us for not going to the er earlier.
Princess Hansell so being rude as hell is what they teach? BS. My fam is from Jamaica, I have several RN’s in the family, being from an island is no excuse for crappy bedside manner.
@@prixxn2665 That's no excuse to be shitty towards your patients, whether the hospital has problems or not you still need o take care or your patients.
The fact they gave you Morphine when you already had low blood pressure is so infuriating to me. You should have been admitted the minute they thought you had a rare virus.
I'm trained in phlebotomy too, I also have lupus and fibromyalgia and THE DEEPEST angriest rolling veins ever. When I get blood taken, sometimes I'll help like not do it but use things that help ie heat pack etc. But sometimes they stick me and bruuuuuuuh. Human pin cushion and sometimes because of lupus/health.. My vasovagal response is really fkn intense so I'm faint and not paying attention to what Susan is doing with the butterfly clip in my arm..... They always use the fucking clip and I'm like bru u gotta feel I have no veins xxx
Man I’ve had sooo many needles wiggled.. once in my hand, he blew that vein. They ended up using an ultra sound to find a vein. But my arms are so fucked up now from them just wiggling they have to use pediatric needles and I’m an adult.
I was trying to donate blood last year and the person who stuck me dug the needle around SOOOo much in my arm because she couldn't hit the vein. That pain was awfullll and I started to feel like I was going to pass out (tunnel vision, hot but sweating, etc.) so they had to put me in Trendelenburg and they gave me a cold compress for the back of my neck. I imagine that it was quite the sight for the other individuals donating blood, but really I was just feeling crappy and was upset that I wouldn't be donating :'/ I'm studying to be a nurse currently and because of this experience, I will NOT be wiggling a needle inside someones arm if I don't outright hit the vein on my initial insertion!!! I have seen several nurses do it this way with difficult sticks, and I'm just like NOPE!
I'm a medical student so I really enjoy listening to these sorts of videos to get a better picture of what how illnesses impact patients, and not just the science and medicine side of things. I was irate every time I heard that they didn't prioritize your concerns about your health. Anyway, I'm low-key freaking out because guessed it was leptospirosis once you talked about being around animals. Big ego boost ;) So glad you're doing well, Caitlin!!
You are already have a big head start on awesome patient care, you are here because you already think the patient's experience matters, and for that way to go!😁
same. I'm also a med student and I like watching these to see what it's actually like for patients. Hopefully if I ever practice in Hawaii, I'll never miss one of these cases!
I got dengue in Indonesia. On the way home I had an overnight layover in Taiwan. I tried to nap on a couch at the airport and was sweating , high fever, delirious.. Made it home to Los Angeles , as we started to descend to land i started feeling so much pain in my body and my nose started pouring blood so much that it completely got all over my shirt, the seats in the airplane, all over my boyfriend.. I passed out after getting off the flight. Woke up in the hospital. My body didn’t really feel better for like 3 months. I would randomly get severe back pain. Completely thought I was going to die, and I’m so happy I made it home to the states before the symptoms got too bad.
I can't believe the hospital wasn't more concerned when your symptoms were so bad. Makes me worried to go to Hawaii in case something ever happens to me.
I'd bet a hundred dollars that if she was in her 40's and complaining of the same symptoms, she would be admitted. I've noticed far too often that young woman are not taken as seriously as their older counterparts (experienced it myself), which can be fatal. I truly hope Caitlin (or an advocate on her behalf), files a complaint with the hospital and this is used as a teaching opportunity. Very often the higher-ups at hospitals WILL take action and investigate to find out what caused this and how it can be changed in the future. There will absolutely be a papertrail. She's so very lucky her mother was able to bring her home and be treated.
@@mysticmysteries8678 honestly 20 or 40, some hospitals in Hawaii just suck.. I tore my rotator cuff & they said it was just shoulder pain lol. They also wouldn't do any X-rays on it
Lexi Brandi Unfortunately, that’s how it is almost everywhere. I promise it’s not just Hawaii. But I also do agree with the fact that younger people are swept off more than older people are & that goes for every type of doctor, not just in the hospital.
it should NOT take a week for lab results. They can get it back within the hour if they tried. sad that they were so lackadaisical about your condition.
Actually, specialized tests (such as what I'm sure was a PCR to test for Dengue) need to be sent out of the hospital to outside labs. Hospitals just dont have the equipment to run those tests. The time line is due to how long it takes for the specimen to be processed, sent out, and then run at the specialized labs (probably a mayo lab). Source: I work in a hospital lab.
Probably the lab may be far away but my test for dengue fever took no longer than a day, I think in about 6 hours it was done. Got sepsis in Cambodia and I guess my test was a priority because of how sick I was but 7 days?? That seem extreme
@@hilmasjolund srsly, a week is standard for non routine PCR tests and the like. They generally take at least a day to get even get packaged for shipment to the testing facility, another day to get there, another day to be unpacked, another day to be tested, another day for any reflex testing, and then a final day to be resulted and released to the original lab. That's 5 days. So, 7 is a reasonable estimate. Source? I was someone who prepared, packaged, and shipped specialized testing like that. Also, where were you tested for dengue? Cause getting that done in my area would take longer vs an area where it's actually a known risk.
Marcia D I got tested in Cambodia and I think the lab was a few blocks away cause some guy picked up the tests and walked somewhere with it. I got tested for dengue and the yellow fever and malaria etc because I had been hiking around for two weeks in places where you can catch that kind of diseases, they where extremely quick I’ll admit that. In Sweden where I live it probably also would have gone a week for results. Im assuming they are more used to those tests in Cambodia because the risk is quite high
Hilma Sjölund I think they neglected her to a point . I had an infection and was going septic, and most hospitals have at least basic tests to test for blood infections 😂. At least then they can test you with iv antibiotics .
When you’re a veterinary technician and called that she had leptospirosis from the title, but still watched the whole video. Glad you’re feeling better!
you can sue for malpractice due to negligence as they caused you unnecessary pain and distress, and discharged you when you presented with symptoms that required monitoring. also you might be able to sue for the fact that their actions caused your mother to have to fly to you, retrieve you, and then both fly back because they denied you appropriate medical resources.
@@happybone1978 No need to hate brother, they just giving suggestions. Also pinpointing an entire category of people based on age doesn't make your statement anymore educational. It just makes it seem your unaware of the young people in your community and lack respect for future generations to come. Just advice from my area of expertise. I'm still grateful though that you got to learn the field you did! keep growing bro. 👍
Literally every time I got sick, my moms presence made me feel 100x better. She drove 3 hours to see me when I had the flu and it went away the next day. Moms are the best💓
Moral of the story, listen to your body. With our healthcare system in the US, you must fight, you must advocate for your treatment, and for your health.
It’s worse in other countries. Cheeper health care means longer wait times. So many people have died because they couldn’t get into to see their doctor. Luckily we don’t have that here.
8:30 This is a little thing called "confirmation bias" It's where you form an explanation for something, then all of the evidence you examine confirms your explanation, and you ignore all the evidence that your explanation is wrong.
Yeah it happens.. my mom was being treated for pneumonia and it turned out to be cancer. Most diseases and infection displays similar symptoms it sucks
You're so lucky. Where I live leptospirosis is not that rare. And usually after the third day you're done, the medication doesn't work. You're super lucky to be here. I hope you feel better!
No, a cut to be red around is pretty normal, it is concerning when there's yellow or green. Red is to be expected, the skin is irritated because you cut it.
@@sopholmes939 I have Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disease and I def don't produce more pus or mucus than anyone else. More aches and pains, definitely. Thankfully no pus.
All your jokes about the shaking had me ROLLIN. and Omg! Dengue fever?? My cousin's husband died from that! He went on a trip and never came back. He left his 6 year old son behind and everything. That virus is real thank God you lived!!! Edit: Just watched through the end and saw what she really had... Dang! People really go through a lot in the course of their lives.
You, avoiding getting sick from the waterfall: who gon' check on me boo? The virus: 👁💋👁 Okay sorry I know this is a serious situation but it just kinda seemed like the meme was accurate
sis eye- leptospirosis sum scary shiyat... i'm from hawaii and we sometimes literally learn about this in school lmao like we can go on a field trip to a waterfall or a stream and they won't let kids that have sores or cuts or bites or whatever touch the water. there's signs at almost every entrance of any body of water warning about leptospirosis. leptospirosis is a statewide horror story, but seldom touches our lives. leptospirosis can be deadly, but is easily treated if caught early. you seem like you were almost to or past that point. y'all got lucky.
You know when u get an infected cut ...there's a green bubble....? Um nooooooo never seen that ever...(might want to add 1 more alert ) lol thanks for sharing your story, glad ur better
So I went on this hike maybe a week after you guys did there was a dead goat floating on the opposite side of the rope kind of hidden in the grassy area. It looked and smelled as if it had been there awhile. We didn’t see it until after we were swimming in the pond for like an hour and a half and decided to hike around to the left side to check out the cave and smelled what we thought was shit. We started looking around to see where it was coming from & we noticed the dead goat floating in the water.. soo idk if that had to do with anything but thought I’d just share to help give you some answers!
this story was so interesting i watched the whole video without skipping any parts, which is rare 😂 hope you’re feeling better 💖 plus you got a new subscriber 😊
As soon as you talked about the feces, I was like, "Hmm," then when you talked about the cut on your ankle I knew it was leptospirosis. I watch too much House MD..
Caleb Landgraf House is my all time favorite show!! I’ve seen that series 10+ times! I’ll never get tired of that show. House is my fav “tv character.”
Marie Monroe I love how none of us know what happened with Jeff but we’re just like “they hate him? We hate him” like this is the energy I need w my friends
When she said "I basically died" with a peace sign I literally shouted WOW MEE. omg I have been through a serious situation like this and I was so nonchalant about it.
lol I feel the same, maybe it's better to deal with situations lightheartedly I had a burst appendix and spent 3 days with it inside me and I had an emergency surgery because there was so much liquid (aka blood and intestinal matter) in me the docs said I was gonna die soon so I just got on a wheel chair in pain and when the nurse pushed me I blew out of my mouth a huge "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" I was 11 so it felt awesome at the time lmao
existential crisis How did you fall that far onto your back without any broken bones or spinal injury? It’s so crazy that you weren’t injured seriously.
@@garrettlotts6268 a tree kind of broke my fall, but the doctors said me being overweight coupled with my hypermobility/lupus.... Saved my life as I wasn't as brittle bone wise as the normal person. Also I guess being young? I don't believe in miracles but this was a fucking miracle. I was bruised on every inch of my body and down my spine.... But I got up and WALKED AWAY from the scene. Madness.
Same! Was in the trauma section of a ER, DR explained what I had, high chance of kicking the bucket and I SHOULD already be dead, etc etc etc. Me: ok Dr: you understand what I’m telling you? Me: yep Dr: are you ok? Are you cold? Etc etc etc He thought I was going into shock or was being calm before the full freak out because I was so calm. Hahaha
I’m so mad about that hospital. Like, you were DYING and they literally just sent you home with Tylenol when you had these really really bad symptoms. That’s not a good hospital, I hope they get better training, equipment, basically everything else after this. They need to step it up. If someone’s having symptoms like those they need to admit you and keep you for observation and eventual treatment. I hope nobody else has to go through anything like that ever, and I’m sorry you did💜
yo the fact that she was literally dying and blamed it on her period just shows how much women suffer lmfaoaoaoao
This comment means everything hahaha!
Malu Stylinson we don’t even suffer that much.. lol

I also got Lepto earlier this year so beyond working in the veterinary field, I got very intimate with how to deal with it in a human.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 only 5-15% die if untreated (meaning up to 95% of ppl without meds get over it on their own- I assume the ones that die have weakened immune systems)... almost died 😵 but still went in the ocean, drank alcohol, etc 🤣
Candice Cart Not exactly. If you don’t get treated you’re looking at kidney damage and possibly more. I was hospitalized for meningitis, which is considered life threatening immediately and can lead to permanent brain damage. It’s listed as one of the symptoms of leptospirosis. In the veterinary industry it’s unfortunately usually a death sentence because treatments like dialysis are needed but not easily available. Really the key is that Leptospirosis crosses into severe and dangerous quickly. It’s not a minor bacteria and it doesn’t go away on its own. It just crosses into a more serious stage.
wow that's crazy. I find facts like that really interesting because my sister worked as a nurse in the army.
Out of all places to be 1 star, A HOSPITAL ON AN ISLAND SHOULDNT BE ONE OF THOSE. Thats literally insane
squishy booty I KNOW SKSHEUWJEHEI
and the hospital she went to was bad enough i wonder how bad that one couldve possibly been
You would think that it wouldn’t be such a bad hospital if it’s on an island tourists visit all the time, right?? It’s kind of crazy to think about.
some of yall obviously dont live on the island and it shows 💀
longy did a flip lmao frl people at hospitals on the island and hella weird tbh. They are either too chill and slow Or they are bitchy af 💀
This is my only story time i sat through and listened and i never seen this channel before

Dasmycheeto no go watch her friends hers says 25!
28:07 ... it's 27
BassFartz most people go “undiagnosed” because at least for the hospital I went to they didn’t want to pay for the test and go through all the paperwork for the cdc. They tested me for everything else and because you can’t actually do anything for it a diagnosis doesn’t change anything.

Her: “I’m dying because of Hawaii”
Also her: I’m gonna miss Hawaii so bad
The disease was called: leptospirosis
and she got it from : a cut on her ankle basically got infected
Did anyone else watch the time on the TV and realize how much editing was done
yes
ONL YES
Doctor: oh you have VERY low blood pressure and a HIGH fever*
Hospital: sends her home with NOTHING*
ikr, thats such a disgrace
When my husband was 25, he caught chicken pox from our kids, a few days into his illness he started hallucinating, he was covered in oozing blisters and was burning up with fever. I took him to the ER, when we got there they would not give me a wheelchair, so I had to ask a passerby to help me carry him inside, ( the man had had chicken pox as a kid) . The ER room was full of pregnant women, children and elderly people and my husband was covered in open blisters but the triage people refused to put us in an isolation room or to wheel ou a gurney for him to lay down. I had to go and tell people to get away from us because my husband was infectious. They made us wait for 45 minutes before they let us in one of the bays and then the doctor had the gall to chastise us for not going to the er earlier.
Antonina MacNeish Thats so terrible!!!! Was/is he ok???????

It sounds like your friend had the hospitals mixed up.
No, the one she went to was 4 stars. The other one was 2 stars
Girl, as a nurse, this is NOT okay. They should have not treated you that way.
As a nurse you should know, they all do.
Princess Hansell so being rude as hell is what they teach? BS. My fam is from Jamaica, I have several RN’s in the family, being from an island is no excuse for crappy bedside manner.
No matter how bad the circumstances you still need to have a good bedside manner.
I get that. I do. However, it doesn’t take an education to treat people with respect, dignity, and compassion though.
@@prixxn2665 That's no excuse to be shitty towards your patients, whether the hospital has problems or not you still need o take care or your patients.
Moral of the story: don’t wear shell anklets

School nurse:
Here’s an ice pack.
Our school nurses just say drink water and don’t have spicy food. Even if ur dying

The fact they gave you Morphine when you already had low blood pressure is so infuriating to me. You should have been admitted the minute they thought you had a rare virus.
Exactly

As someone trained in phlebotomy...you NEVER wiggle a needle in someone’s arm. And if a patient tells you to remove a needle, you don’t say no?? Wtf
I'm trained in phlebotomy too, I also have lupus and fibromyalgia and THE DEEPEST angriest rolling veins ever. When I get blood taken, sometimes I'll help like not do it but use things that help ie heat pack etc. But sometimes they stick me and bruuuuuuuh. Human pin cushion and sometimes because of lupus/health.. My vasovagal response is really fkn intense so I'm faint and not paying attention to what Susan is doing with the butterfly clip in my arm..... They always use the fucking clip and I'm like bru u gotta feel I have no veins xxx
Wow that’s insane! My veins tend to collapse a lot and I’ve had lots of blood tests and let me tell you, it’s definitely been wiggled before
I have SOOOO had a needle wiggled in my arm before and it was awful.
Man I’ve had sooo many needles wiggled.. once in my hand, he blew that vein. They ended up using an ultra sound to find a vein. But my arms are so fucked up now from them just wiggling they have to use pediatric needles and I’m an adult.
I was trying to donate blood last year and the person who stuck me dug the needle around SOOOo much in my arm because she couldn't hit the vein. That pain was awfullll and I started to feel like I was going to pass out (tunnel vision, hot but sweating, etc.) so they had to put me in Trendelenburg and they gave me a cold compress for the back of my neck. I imagine that it was quite the sight for the other individuals donating blood, but really I was just feeling crappy and was upset that I wouldn't be donating :'/ I'm studying to be a nurse currently and because of this experience, I will NOT be wiggling a needle inside someones arm if I don't outright hit the vein on my initial insertion!!! I have seen several nurses do it this way with difficult sticks, and I'm just like NOPE!
I'm a medical student so I really enjoy listening to these sorts of videos to get a better picture of what how illnesses impact patients, and not just the science and medicine side of things. I was irate every time I heard that they didn't prioritize your concerns about your health. Anyway, I'm low-key freaking out because guessed it was leptospirosis once you talked about being around animals. Big ego boost ;) So glad you're doing well, Caitlin!!
You are already have a big head start on awesome patient care, you are here because you already think the patient's experience matters, and for that way to go!😁
You are already a better doctor than most of them then.
Same! I'm a vet student and Ive seen this disease in both animals and people. Extremely important to get your pets/livestock vaccinated against lepto.
same. I'm also a med student and I like watching these to see what it's actually like for patients. Hopefully if I ever practice in Hawaii, I'll never miss one of these cases!
A whole group of CZcamsrs got Dengue in Hawaii a few years ago. Alli from Ctfxc was one of them. She also visited that same waterfall.
lol I had ‘growing pain’ turns out I have a autoimmune disease lol 😂 on god I couldn’t walk for 2 months
Was it lupus? That happened to my finances mom, she couldn't walk and was in pain, the a couple months later she was diagnosed with lupus

mine would give a bag of frozen peas and put a towel over it lol
Mine would have told us to drink some water..... Walking in with our head not even connected... Water...
Mine gave me an ice pack to put over my arm, while there was a fucking cast on it like we are talking 3 inch radius thick cast😂
Mien would be like here put a frozen bottle on it.

Cesalenalise Lucy and the Chickens which might be why the nurse lady was so biased saying “yOu caN wAlk.”
Glad that you are now well again. I'm SUPER GLAD that is was NOT... Dengue. The mortality rate for Dengue can be as high as 20%.
i... did not know that omg. i’ve gotten dengue before (along with most of my cousins) and i never really thought i could die from it :0
In Maldives (where I live) every once a year there is a dengue outbreak. And it claims the lives of atleast 3 kids as young as 6 months old
I got dengue in Indonesia. On the way home I had an overnight layover in Taiwan. I tried to nap on a couch at the airport and was sweating , high fever, delirious.. Made it home to Los Angeles , as we started to descend to land i started feeling so much pain in my body and my nose started pouring blood so much that it completely got all over my shirt, the seats in the airplane, all over my boyfriend.. I passed out after getting off the flight. Woke up in the hospital. My body didn’t really feel better for like 3 months. I would randomly get severe back pain. Completely thought I was going to die, and I’m so happy I made it home to the states before the symptoms got too bad.
“I need to lay the f*** down and go night night” I’m dead 😂
I can't believe the hospital wasn't more concerned when your symptoms were so bad. Makes me worried to go to Hawaii in case something ever happens to me.
I'd bet a hundred dollars that if she was in her 40's and complaining of the same symptoms, she would be admitted. I've noticed far too often that young woman are not taken as seriously as their older counterparts (experienced it myself), which can be fatal. I truly hope Caitlin (or an advocate on her behalf), files a complaint with the hospital and this is used as a teaching opportunity. Very often the higher-ups at hospitals WILL take action and investigate to find out what caused this and how it can be changed in the future. There will absolutely be a papertrail. She's so very lucky her mother was able to bring her home and be treated.
come and find out if you scared 😂😂 && dengue is common in Hawai’i. just have to know what you’re doing
@@mysticmysteries8678 honestly 20 or 40, some hospitals in Hawaii just suck.. I tore my rotator cuff & they said it was just shoulder pain lol. They also wouldn't do any X-rays on it
@@mysticmysteries8678 Yes, use errors to learn so nobody else has to go through it.
Lexi Brandi Unfortunately, that’s how it is almost everywhere. I promise it’s not just Hawaii. But I also do agree with the fact that younger people are swept off more than older people are & that goes for every type of doctor, not just in the hospital.
it should NOT take a week for lab results. They can get it back within the hour if they tried. sad that they were so lackadaisical about your condition.
Actually, specialized tests (such as what I'm sure was a PCR to test for Dengue) need to be sent out of the hospital to outside labs. Hospitals just dont have the equipment to run those tests. The time line is due to how long it takes for the specimen to be processed, sent out, and then run at the specialized labs (probably a mayo lab).
Source: I work in a hospital lab.
Probably the lab may be far away but my test for dengue fever took no longer than a day, I think in about 6 hours it was done. Got sepsis in Cambodia and I guess my test was a priority because of how sick I was but 7 days?? That seem extreme
@@hilmasjolund srsly, a week is standard for non routine PCR tests and the like. They generally take at least a day to get even get packaged for shipment to the testing facility, another day to get there, another day to be unpacked, another day to be tested, another day for any reflex testing, and then a final day to be resulted and released to the original lab. That's 5 days. So, 7 is a reasonable estimate. Source? I was someone who prepared, packaged, and shipped specialized testing like that. Also, where were you tested for dengue? Cause getting that done in my area would take longer vs an area where it's actually a known risk.
Marcia D I got tested in Cambodia and I think the lab was a few blocks away cause some guy picked up the tests and walked somewhere with it. I got tested for dengue and the yellow fever and malaria etc because I had been hiking around for two weeks in places where you can catch that kind of diseases, they where extremely quick I’ll admit that. In Sweden where I live it probably also would have gone a week for results. Im assuming they are more used to those tests in Cambodia because the risk is quite high
Hilma Sjölund I think they neglected her to a point . I had an infection and was going septic, and most hospitals have at least basic tests to test for blood infections 😂. At least then they can test you with iv antibiotics .
When you’re a veterinary technician and called that she had leptospirosis from the title, but still watched the whole video. Glad you’re feeling better!
I'm a drs. Office receptionist and I guessed that from the title.
Same!
bro at this point i would go to the 2 star hospital
im just immediately anxious i have a life theatening disease and not know it rn
unless you ran an open wound through animal shit and standing water you're probably fine

I’m only 14 and I’ve had countless panic attacks because I thought I had heart failure, breast cancer, a coronial embolism 😂😂😂😂
you can sue for malpractice due to negligence as they caused you unnecessary pain and distress, and discharged you when you presented with symptoms that required monitoring. also you might be able to sue for the fact that their actions caused your mother to have to fly to you, retrieve you, and then both fly back because they denied you appropriate medical resources.
@@happybone1978 No need to hate brother, they just giving suggestions. Also pinpointing an entire category of people based on age doesn't make your statement anymore educational. It just makes it seem your unaware of the young people in your community and lack respect for future generations to come. Just advice from my area of expertise. I'm still grateful though that you got to learn the field you did! keep growing bro. 👍
When ur not that smart so u didn't understand a single words u said "Mmmmmm?"
As soon as I heard that you had a cut on your ankle....
Me: 😬
Literally every time I got sick, my moms presence made me feel 100x better. She drove 3 hours to see me when I had the flu and it went away the next day. Moms are the best💓
Okay all my cuts are gonna be cleaned and disinfected no matter how small they are and where ever i am in the world
Honestly as long as you don't ignore a wound that looks infected, I wouldn't worry too much.
Ashley ASHLEYM nah imma be completely cleaning everything like even chapped lips gonna be bandaged up lol
Felt that
Moral of the story, listen to your body. With our healthcare system in the US, you must fight, you must advocate for your treatment, and for your health.
dreindenver More like with the doctors in the US. Most all of them don’t listen to their patients.
It’s worse in other countries. Cheeper health care means longer wait times. So many people have died because they couldn’t get into to see their doctor. Luckily we don’t have that here.
Danika Larsen agreed
@@flowerfields4345 actually ive heard that in canada they dont have that long of wait times

"when a cut gets infected theres a green bubble".... lol.. that's not a normal infected looking cut. Maybe white and red.
lmao me except i have lupus/fibromyalgia and my body's retarded and just makes more pus than necessary.....
white and red is normal for any cut. bright yellow or green indicates infection
No, a cut to be red around is pretty normal, it is concerning when there's yellow or green. Red is to be expected, the skin is irritated because you cut it.
@@sopholmes939 I have Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disease and I def don't produce more pus or mucus than anyone else. More aches and pains, definitely. Thankfully no pus.

leptospirosis sum scary shiyat... i'm from hawaii and we sometimes literally learn about this in school lmao like we can go on a field trip to a waterfall or a stream and they won't let kids that have sores or cuts or bites or whatever touch the water. there's signs at almost every entrance of any body of water warning about leptospirosis. leptospirosis is a statewide horror story, but seldom touches our lives. leptospirosis can be deadly, but is easily treated if caught early. you seem like you were almost to or past that point. y'all got lucky.
It’s funny how we discredit things to our periods haha:) so glad you are doing better!:)
You know when u get an infected cut ...there's a green bubble....? Um nooooooo never seen that ever...(might want to add 1 more alert ) lol thanks for sharing your story, glad ur better
Bro I was like tf I’ve never gotten a green bubble

I've gotten an infected cut before. The cut itself was green, and it was red and puffy all around it. No bubbles...
Alice Thacker i think she means when there is a bit of pus under a layer of skin
So I went on this hike maybe a week after you guys did there was a dead goat floating on the opposite side of the rope kind of hidden in the grassy area. It looked and smelled as if it had been there awhile. We didn’t see it until after we were swimming in the pond for like an hour and a half and decided to hike around to the left side to check out the cave and smelled what we thought was shit. We started looking around to see where it was coming from & we noticed the dead goat floating in the water.. soo idk if that had to do with anything but thought I’d just share to help give you some answers!

I’m so mad about that hospital. Like, you were DYING and they literally just sent you home with Tylenol when you had these really really bad symptoms. That’s not a good hospital, I hope they get better training, equipment, basically everything else after this. They need to step it up. If someone’s having symptoms like those they need to admit you and keep you for observation and eventual treatment. I hope nobody else has to go through anything like that ever, and I’m sorry you did💜
