Once went to the hospital with chest pains - took them 3 hours to get be checked out and then other 2 to get XRay and EKG. If it was heart related I would've probably just collapsed. "Free" healthcare moment
Chest pains, not always. I have had chest pains occasionally throughout the years. Caused by anxiety as I have no heart problems after being checked many times. So really it just depends. But head injuries, certainly
@@levithebaddest2369same I used to get really paranoid about it because my dad passed away suddenly when I was 16 from a heart attack, sometimes I’d work my self up so much I’d genuinely convince myself I was having a heart attack even though I was perfectly fine. Not to mention getting ait trapped in your esophagus can also make you feel like you’re about to have a heart attack and cause chest pain/tightness.
I fell in the freezer at Walmart yesterday. Slipped on the iced floor. fell on my back and slammed my head, palletjack then ran over my foot. Continued on while being dizzy and an extreme headache/pain. Fell asleep on the bus on my way home then immediately as I got home despite being told not to fall asleep by a coworker.
head injuries are seriously so important! a girl in my high school died on the way to school because she had a head injury due to a “minor” car accident days before. she fell asleep on the school bus and never woke up :( please take any head injuries serious even if it doesn’t hurt at the moment 😔
about 2 weeks ago i got in a pretty serious dune buggy accident where the car flipped 6 times and i had a horrible headache and lost my vision for over 5 minutes, i even lost consciousness but I THOUGHT IT WAS OK TO NOT GO because it’s so expensive 🥲
@@jimidity3426that was me a few weeks ago as well. Thought my husband was overreacting, but this drives home the point he wasn't. Almost 4 weeks out & I still get dizzy episodes.... Hope you are doing well
@@jimidity3426did u really think it was okay not to go or did u convince your if was cuz of the cost? And if so it’s sad our health care system makes us have to do that
This happened to my son almost exactly. He had an epidural hematoma - his brain was pushed over 1/6 of the way. It took 3 hours for them to give him a CT scan. My husband took him in & trusted them to know what they were doing. The difference was the ER doctor was casually teaching some students and one of them noticed some dried blood behind his ear. All of a sudden they were all rushing around saying time was of the essence. They airlifted him to the nearest trauma center and told my husband he needed to hurry down there - 1 & 1/2 hours away by car - to "be with him" (...while he died. But that was unspoken.) He didn't die. 10 of us drove to the trauma center. He was released in a week. He made a full recovery in a year.
I get it, but I think they need some stuff like this to dramatize things. Makes the show spicier. I think it’s just because that’s what works for a show to retain audiences.
I remember I went to the emergency room for a nut allergy and I was having difficulty breathing and nobody checked on me for 3 hours I got up bought Benadryl barely able to see and breathe chugged it and went to bed only to get a voicemail in the morning that they were looking for me and to come back lol
^w comment I came to the er shaking and unable to raise my shoulder after a drunk driver hit meand I said I could wait to be seen. The nurse literally “put” me into a wheelchair I know nurses technically aren’t supposed to do this. But honestly they were angels. I didnt even know I was bleeding from my head and I had torn tendons and ligaments and was in shock. They said I could’ve collapsed if I waited longer and they ended up having to stay for an extended time because the pain was so bad I couldn’t sit, stand, or lay down without yelling. We don’t deserve our first responders, they are literally the best of us in my opinion. Thank you to all the medical field and service members
I was at work and hit my head just as a nurse came by she made me sit down and checked for a concussion right therein the middle of the aisle at Walmart
I slipped on water and I hit my head on the ground at work. I was bleeding from a small gash on my head. Doctor came in looked at it and told me take some pain killers. A nurse had to clean my wound and that's about it. $300 hospital bill for basically nothing done except for just a clean.
“He seemed okay” THATS NOT YOUR JOB!! As a CNA I can’t make that call. Anything that could be life threatening or signs of bad needs to be taken seriously. Anyone under doctors/nurses needs to know that. It’s not our call.
@@kenstroede1742 yes but head trauma is always serious. She made a call past the triage because she didn’t follow triage procedures. She went one step farther. Deciding that head injury isn’t fatal is the doctors job.
@@kenstroede1742 I once had my face drop and as soon as the nurse saw me it was a stroke call. Was it a stroke no, did I have ANY OTHER SIGNS no but that wasn’t the nurses job to figure out ALONE. You are trained to take ONE symptom seriously because the simple fact that it could be means immediate care is needed. I’ve had so many patients tell me their chest hurts and they are fine, but I’ll never be the one to not tell my nurse immediately. it’s CNAs that brush it off because they look fine that then have a dead body on their hands. Don’t make calls and decisions that aren’t yours to make. Patients know their bodies.
Well, that is her job as a nurse lmao. Nurses are always in charge of triage. Her problem wasn't assigning urgency because that *was* actually her job, the problem was not realizing a head injury is always urgent.
One of my friends was skateboarding and got hit by a car, and hit his head super hard (no helmet, sadly). The driver ran, and he’s possibly facing felony charges now. My friend was is a medically induced coma for about 2 months, then he woke up. Always wear a helmet, and head injuries are extremely serious. He was on the verge of dying for weeks.
I was a skater back in my youth. When i was 17, I bumped my head and i was feeling a bit dizzy but otherwise im good. One old surfer dude insisted i go to the ER immediately. Once at the ER, i said i bumped my head skating and was abit dizzy and nothing else. That ER nurse had my head scanned. They found i had a hairline fracture on my skull and immediately admitted me. Thanks to that old surfer dude, i lived to tell the tale.
once as a kid I smashed my head against a concrete wall. didn't go to hospital or doctor, this comment thread is making me realise I am so lucky to be alive
@@ekinie3854 Same. I was skating to school and hit a large crack that sent me flying. I braced for the fall and protected my head with my arms (didnt have a helmet). I felt dizzy for a bit but i only scrapped my knuckle. Then I just continued skating to school😅
This happens more often than you know. I watched this happen in a hospital ER. A baby with a head injury came in, and they made the family wait. The baby died and the family sued. It still continues in the courts.
I’ll never forget the time when my friend wiped out on his skateboard and hit his head, his head was bleeding SO MUCH. I was 13, he was 18, the rest of our friends were in between those ages. We were all at my friend’s house drinking alcohol and we were scared to call 911 and get in trouble (plus we lived in a tiny mountain town with no hospital 1hr away from the nearest city). Finally after soaking 2 large towels in blood within minutes we decided to buck up and call 911. It was so scary but thankfully he turned out to be okay. Head injuries are nothing to mess around with!
Once met a guy who was completely wheelchair bound and need 24 hour physical care. He had a bad mental delay and couldnt speak. Was always slobbering. His dad said he'd been normal till he was 14 but had had a bump to the head skate boarding. That one bump took him for a young kid to essentially a vegetable within seconds. Wear your helmets.
When I was around 10-11 me and my friend was running through a puddle on the carport, and it had that slimy crap in it. So when I ran through it, my feet went out from under me literally above my head.. I hit so hard my dad heard it from inside the house. They called the ER and they said I’d be fine to not let me sleep for so many hours. Ever since that incident that’s when I developed ptosis in my left eye same side my head was hit. So I do wonder if it actually did some kind of damage.
Jesus Loves you He died on the cross for your sins and if you repent if your sins and confess with your mouth His is Lord and son of God you are saved. God bless😊😊😊
Ik at my work before anyone becomes a nurse assistant, they go through temp-hospitality for 6 weeks while their temp-hospitality, they go through training to be a nurse assistant, for an additional 6 weeks after that they graduate fully licenced.
My father once got a fever due to an infection (He accidentally stepped on a rusted nail). I called the nurse 5 times that day because my father could not respond when I talked to him. The doctor came that night and I shouted to the doctor. The doctor then checked my father and sent him to the ICU. Later on, I heard the nurse crying while her superior lectured her. My father did survive but he left us 5 years ago.😢
She was overwhelmed though? But i'm assuming you haven't seen the show or the episode. Because if you had, you would know that in this episode the hospital was extremely understaffed due to new owners and the ER got flooded with emergencies and all the staff was overwhelmed. It was also her first day. So yeah, without context i understand where you're coming from. I'm just adding context, i honestly felt rly bad for both the nurse and the patient in this situation, however i agree she did very wrong and being overwhelmed does not excuse this, it is horrible. The show is The resident btw!
@@sotblom can you not do that? I don't need any more context. I'm talking about that actual moment when they were talking. Overall, of course she's overwhelmed. I'm aware of what they have to go through, I'm not ignorant of that. Her body language and speech were the key factors of why I said what I said. Completely harmless and didn't warrant the defensive response out of nowhere.
@@hashslanginmaster7239And nurses are trained that head injuries are CRITICAL to check, even if they seem fine. Because it’s quite easy to go from being fine to being *dead* if you go unchecked.
This is my biggest fear. I dont respond to pain with distress or in a normal way. I end up overly communicating, which leads most people to think im okay even if im a 8 out of 10 on the pain scale and describe to them how much im suffering. Its pretty scary that all it takes is one person not recognizing how severe an issue is and suddenly, you either have to fight for how severe YOU think it is or comply and hope the professional is right. I dont feel bad for her, first day on the job after years of studying and basic info and her call was to assume someone's state from sight alone and change the whole protocal just because he calmly explained the severity. Pretty hard to feel any guilt towards her, she deserved the reality check from the other dude calling her on it.
I’m similar. I was given an objective pain scale with descriptions and realized I don’t even start to register pain until it’s at a 6+ and I call that a 1. I got caught under the chin by a dog at work during Covid and seemed fine until the next day. Suddenly dissociating, dealing with confusion. Thought it was PTSD related and was texting a friend to help stay grounded. She works in a hospital doing EEGs and commented about if I had any other concussion symptoms. I ended up in an ambulance from work during Covid and because I tend to over share and analyze I didn’t get a CT (also because I’d had a few over the last few years due to migraines and Lepto) and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. But realized the next day after trying to work because I wasn’t discharged well that I couldn’t retain or process anything I read. For about 4 days. My friend agrees I was misdiagnosed and it was a more severe concussion. But I was too verbal for that to be considered and my primary symptom had been derealization with no real pain except a sore jaw.
The problem isn’t how he presented himself or his response to pain. It’s that he had a potential brain injury and didn’t triage him correctly. With head injuries, sometimes the person won’t seem to have many issues at first but then their condition suddenly deteriorates like you see here. Someone seeming mostly ok after a head injury can actually be a sign that things are about to get worse. Which is what happened here. Your fear is 100% valid and does apply. I just wanted to explain the nurses actual mistake was judging a head injury patient on whether or not they seemed ok. Which is NOT what they should do. You might already know that but I figured I’d say it just in case lol. Try not to be afraid though, it’s okay to advocate for yourself if you have to. It’s always better safe than sorry when it comes to your health! Take care.
Unfortunately it happens. I have a condition where I have to go to the ER pretty often and I’ve had people who had only been there a day or two before the person taking care of everyone with the only other person being the cop. There is another nurse but she’s taking vitals of patients in a different room typically
@@diemidnight2365 first day at the hospital, first day as a nurse, or first day as a triage nurse? Either way it that would be pretty scary. That wouldn't happen here.
@@diemidnight2365I work in an ER in Canada. In mine it’s 2 years experience to be hired to ER. 1 year at least to work monitors and codes, 2 years at least to work triage. And Triage is never too busy to triage. There may be a line…but we are never doing anything except triaging.
@@jamimunchkin7041 so for me the closest hospital has student nurses it’s essentially at a university. So it was there first day actually doing the job they had training prior but it was her first real day.
Only the hospital for their incompetence. A nurse’s first day will never have them unattended by someone with experience, they don’t allow that here in the US. She’d likely be deemed innocent since there should’ve been someone there to stop her.
My cousin had to deal with a similar situation on his first day, understaffed, over crowded, yet still managed to prioritise the 3 people with head trauma who came to him, your first day isn’t an excuse, if anything it’s a sign that your not cut out for the pressure of the job.
I almost had this kind of experience. Except it was with a friend. I was 16 and had severely hit my head and passed out for 2 hours. Then hit my head in the same spot later that day. My friends family basically said, "he's fine doesn't need to go to the ER". I'm lucky I woke up at all. Almost slipped into a coma - I could smell and hear and feel things, but I couldnt move or wake myself up. After being jolted awake by my friend shaking me, I'm here, thankfully. Head injuries are serious matters. My life changed forever that day. My brain completely changed - afterwards I was diagnosed with Bipolar because the changes in my brain chemistry due to the trauma, I have severe memory loss even to this day, and I now get more headaches now than I have ever before. I cannot reiterate this enough: HEAD INJURIES TAKE PRECEDENT. NEVER IGNORE IT NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT SEEMS!!!!!! I'm thankful and glad to be awake and alive after being dismissed.
I was so mad at my mom (a nurse) when I was a kid cause I crashed on my bike without a helmet, knocked unconscious, and when they brought me home from the crash she wouldnt let me go to sleep. All I wanted to do was sleep. That night when it was bedtime and I could finally go to sleep, she kept waking me up, every half hour, all night. Was so annoyed at the time, but looking back I realized she could have saved my life, and also she probably didnt sleep a single wink that entire night. Had her shoes on ready to take me to the hospital in a heartbeat if I showed any of the bad signs. Pros know head trauma is no joke.
My mom who is a nurse never took mr to the hospital when i hit my head on the bottom of a pool so hard i chipped a large chunk of tooth off. Or when i chipped my front two teeth so bad that more than half of both were missing in an arch (i remembered falling but not anything else) 💀
@kristinehansen. If they live somewhere like America, just going to get checked out in hospital costs a lot. It seems to me that the nurse (and mother) understood the situation and was able to manage it but also prepared to go the moment it was actually necessary. Now if it had been somewhere with free health care, then they should of gone immediately.
in 2016, my mom hit her head on the sidewalk. she was fine. she drove herself to the ER. they checked her out and she left 6 hours later with a black eye and a nice bump on her head. nothing life threatening. 3 days later, she was having flu like symptoms and later that night i found her sprawled out on her bed drooling and mumbling incoherent sentences. my uncle took her to the ER, turns out she had a brain bleed which ended up causing her to have a seizure. the bleeding wasn’t bad enough to operate so her body absorbed the blood. but she was in the ICU for a few days and she actually flatlined 2 times. she was in rehab for 3 months re-learning how to walk properly and do basic tasks. to this day she still experiences side effects from the brain bleed such as short term memory, migraines and personality changes. every single nurse and doctor needs to take head injuries seriously.
Jesus is the way, the truth ❤ (not forcing, not disrespecting, not hating) he loves you so much that he created ONLY you in his own image..😊 so repent and he'll forgive
A physician sent me straight to the ER with a letter, in hand, stating there was a high possibility I was going to have either a stroke or aneurysm very soon. Once I got the ER i showed them the letter and after reading it they just told me to have a seat and wait till I hear my name. I sat in the waiting room for 4 hours before I even got an EKG. This stuff happens way more often than you’d so make sure you know about certain ER protocols so you don’t end up in the same situation.
Happened to me. Had heart problems, hard time breathing, waited for 4 hours in this Georgian hospital. I passed out and woke up in the hospital room to nurses panicking, saying I was going to have a heart attack, giving me medicines through my IV, all while thinking "I fucking came here for a reason why did you leave me out in the hall without asking me anything for FOUR FUCKING HOURS"
I once passed out in a bathroom at work due to a low blood pressure problem and cracked my head on the concrete. I kept telling the medics my head hurt. I was disoriented and confused. They told the nurses at the ER that I was on drugs. They tested my blood and threw me out without a scan. I wondered the hospital grounds until a cop found me and helped my call a family member for a ride. Went to another hospital and learned my brain was swelling from a severe concussion. Edit: I can't sue anymore. This happened nearly 12 years ago. The statute of limitations is 7. The hospital no longer has records of my visit since they purged their records after that 7 years. I don't remember who the EMTs were or who the doctors and nurses were who kicked me out. Nothing will hold up in court since there is no longer proof of anything happening. I was in a dark place during the time and hadn't even thought of suing. It was just a bad experience I believed I deserved. Obviously, I know now I didn't. But, PTSD from abuse (not related to the hospital) messes up the mind.
I ended up on the patient's end of this situation and it pretty much destroyed my life. I still know that medical staff do their best but sometimes you're just screwed by circumstances.
Don't mean to pressure you but i wanna know just like the other guy lol. Regardless of what happened i send prayers, even if the chance for recovery/healing seems long gone!
Head trauma is no joke, i took my son to the hospital after he had fell from climbing the sink (hes a 2yo) and i was clunsy enough to inna sense fall with him rather than catch him 😢 the bad spacial judgement on my part cost me my son spending hours in the hospital, usc being labelled as category 2 since he had also fallen asleep despite me trying to keep him awake during our walk (it was more of a run) to the hospital. A concussion later, rousing awake a few times, meds, lots of ice and many tests later he was ruled out for any significant damage. I never stayed a step away from my son again whenever he goes to wash his hands. ❤ appreciated all the nurses who acted so quickly upon arrival too, they knew it was significant head trauma and treated straight away. 😢 Didnt want to take the chance of not going into hospital despite my own fear of em (my mother had several strokes after a hurse refused to check her in for her head trauma just like this nurse has done.. shes gone now, the person living isnt my mother anymore, but a violent abusive, severely delayed husk of a human.)
My grandma died like this,she fell hitting her head on the ground which made her brain die from drowning in her blood...she left us at peace 2 years ago Miss you Grams! Edit:thanks for the replies guys!you are too nice,also,by peaceful i meant in her sleep,resting after a day of housework.
Who was she going to apologize too? I see your point but she can’t apologize to a dead guy. And the others can’t accept his apology for him. She just has to do better moving forward. And apologize to friends and family if she meets them. Or maybe it’s better if she stays away from them.
Normal medical treatment. You tell them that you need help and they send you off to suffer alone. Everyone that I know that has gone to the ER has been treated like this. Then you see the staff sitting around chatting and laughing.
She named the most fatal signs and said still breathing as if he would be able to live much longer or describe his injuries if he wasn't and proceeded to abandon him completely. Nothing learned after more than a decade of practicing medicine. This is an average portrayal of the main character in a movie
She’s a nurse not a doctor. She wasn’t learning or practicing medicine for even close to a decade. BEFORE YOU REPLY TO MY COMMENT, READ THIS.

My friend wiped out snowboarding, she got a concussion. Thank god she was wearing a helmet or who knows what could’ve happened. Our other friend mocked her helmet usage right after the incident. Asshole.
I am a former ICU nurse. Please immediately seek help for any type of head trauma especially if it's associated with a headache, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. A patient can go from walking and talking to irreversible brain damage within hours. They were hard on her in this video, but people truly do tend to underestimate the responsibilities of a nurse. It is a nurse's job to monitor and report changes immediately. I remember a patient very clearly who was not appropriately monitored after a simple fall. The nurse failed to report increasing blood pressure on the patient. By the time I reported for my next shift this patient was an organ donation patient whose lifeless body was being prepared for harvest. It's absolutely gut wrenching. Not all healthcare personnel are professionals. Advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
@@GThunder_Gaming in the US reason you would avoid the hospital are due to its crippling medical bills.... so yeah last resort and its fucking disgusting that it comes to this...
@@dpetersz pretty much the only reason I would go to the hospital is if I had a broken bone. I've had covid twice but never been to the hospital. In fact, I've never gone to the hospital for anything but a checkup and I haven't had a checkup or a physical or whatever in over 10 years. I still go to the dentist. At least, I did before I aged out of my parents insurance. There was a good year where I couldn't bend my knee without an insane amount of pain and I was limping when I walked. Still didn't go to the hospital. I used to have this issue where I would randomly pass out and just collapse onto the floor. Never went to the hospital. I pretty much won't go unless I was shot or stabbed honestly. And even then, I would get myself there because an ambulance ride is too damn expensive and it's cheaper to clean blood out of a car
I had a friend die in waiting room. They never even called his name to get his blood pressure checked before a janitor found him dead from a heart attack at 37 after waiting over 4hrs. He had two kids. Hell I was left bleeding in a waiting with an deep cut in my scalp that needed stitches for 8hrs only to be called back and told it stopped bleeding and too much time has passed so they could no longer do stitches. They still billed me for it
My friend hit his head pretty good in high school football and like most of us he just shook it off but the coach noticed he took a good hit and called timeout. Our coach asked if he was okay and he said he was fine but his head hurt a bit so coach immediately got the trainer over to look at him. Found out the next day he actually had a pretty serious concussion and the doctor recommended him to not play contact sports ever again. Doctor was grateful our coach pulled him from the game immediately or he could’ve had permanent brain damage had he taken another hard hit to the head
My best friend had same experience in our childhood...fortunately he survived. He fell off from bicycle....got head injury..came to home and slept...after few hours his head swollen up ...didn't wake up ...rushed to hospital..and got treatment....close to death..... He is well and settled now...
I went to ER, high-risk pregnancy, told the triage nurse everything wrong, and she was hustling me to the back when she asked conversationally how many kids I had. Said this was my first. She stopped, told me to have a seat until she called me. My water broke and it took three days of watching my son, my miracle baby, fight for his life before he died. He would have been twenty this July 24th, 2024. My own family had told me I was being dramatic (cuz I hired a maid - I was told not to do anything like sweep or mop by my doctor) until then. We are our own best advocates.
I'm so sorry, that's so messed up that your family said you were being dramatic. Death isn't a joke, and neither is your mental health. I understand completely how it feels, and I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I hope your life gets better, even though it Won't be the same.
my birthday is also July 24th of 97. I have 3 children and 2 of them (my girls) there almost lost but I ended up advocating and walked away from my own dr until someone listened. I had them at 36 and 32 and I'm hugging them a little tighter today. 1 year and 5 months
When I was almost 16 years old, I was in a bad car accident. Walked away from it with a few scratches and a bit of a headache. I was at summer camp. Because I have a history of headaches, we weren't sure if it was due to a concussion or not (I've gotten migraines from accidentally bumping my head against walls before). After the ambulance crew checked me out, the camp nurses monitored me for the next 6-8 hours and didn't let me go to sleep. Then my counselor checked on me every 2 hours through the night. Even though I turned out alright, my parents and I regret to this day that I didn't go get my head scanned that day, even though it would've meant an extremely expensive ambulance ride to a bigger city (or possibly even a helicopter ride), for good testing, it's possible that I had a mild concussion, but we can't know for sure because I wasn't scanned back then. If I knew back then what I know now about how life-threatening... Or at least life-changing, even a "minor concussion" can be, I think that I would've told my parents to have the camp send me to the hospital (I begged them not to, even though my dad's instinct was to have me get a scan). I'm so grateful the camp medical team monitored me so well because they very well may have saved my life just by making sure that I didn't go to sleep and that when I did go to sleep, I was still breathing.
@@user-tu3ix3mo9xthats very irresponsible as a nurse it's her job to know she's suppose to save these people from dying. Next time if one of your loved ones ends up dying in the hospital i hope the nurse tells you to chill out its not that serious.

@@tboyk_859well, I assume all nurses have undergone training before allowed a position in the hospital, right? It shouldn’t be too hard to remember that head injuries are something serious.
That happened to me once i was playing rugby and i went in for a dump tackle but when i went down i smashed my head on there knee i didnt notice but j have blood dripping down the back of my head but i couldn’t feel it cuz i had my scrum cap on but about 5 minutes later i fell and blacked out i had to be taken to hospital by ambulance and it turns out i had a major concussion so always take care of your head
I was in scouts many years and once on a camping trip, me and my buddy were walking together and he just fell, I called for help, checked the time, asked him what was wrong. Always make sure you have somebody who knows where you are going or knows where you are at all times. Best advice I got from scouts.
ER nurse speaking here: it takes a LOT of practice to successfully triage someone (as in classify which patients need to be seen first), and it’s a lot harder than you think. You’re basically trying to predict what kind of care a patient should receive before they even see a provider. A new nurse should never be left alone to a task like this. It takes months and months of training and continuing education to be a triage nurse because you are responsible for every patient in that waiting room. You have to think and act quickly and determine how long a patient can wait before they need to be seen. And if you are wrong, if your assessment was inaccurate, then this is exactly what could happen (not trying to scare new nurses, this is a drama of course but shit can get real in the ER)
THANK YOU I was looking for this comment bc yes it was a bad call but it's her first day and leaving her unattended and fending for herself in an ER seems irresponsible (note: I am NOT a nurse, just someone who's clumsy and been to the ER a lot)
All of what you said is true. However, we all know head injuries take precedence, just like a GSW. Or anything else that you would’ve been taught BEFORE you got the job and started day 1
I went to the ER and as soon as I said "worst headache of my life" they got me back so fast. What i thought was a bad migraine was actually a stroke. The doctor wasn't sure whether to give me a CT scan or not because i was talking and acting normal, just dizzy and sick. I'm so thankful to him for deciding to be overly cautious.
So they don't do orientation for new staff? Orientation time is typically 2-3 months with a gradual transition to working independently. A nurse would not be left alone for a single second during their first shift in a new job.
For those who don’t know this is from the resident; in this episode the original charge nurse was cut from the hospital and got replaced by the one you see in the video to save the hospital money. The new charge nurse is having her first day and was not properly trained before being hired. A mass casualty comes in and she has never dealt with one before and gets overwhelmed causing her to send the head trauma patient to the waiting room because she labeled him as basic instead of acute which he would’ve been. It’s a really good show and I highly recommend watching it :)) Edit: from those of you asking the patient dies
When i was in EMT school my instructor always have told me this "if yoy ever encounter a patient that claims to have a head injury and is perfectly fine always always do a head to toe trauma examination to determine if the patients skull is intact or no signs of discomfort. If the patient doesnt have any fractures on the skull check to see if they are conscious and always alert take them to the hosptial anyways. if they feel like they have a headache or signs of confusion after the inury and your assessment dont waste time load them in the bus" never ever assume a head injury from a patient is minor injury always treat it as a trauma injury
I went to my gp with a head injury didn't do anything, next day went EE as started feeling confused with headache and nausea, they said go home and rest and put down as a minor ailment
@@gingersoulgamer957 yikes thats not good at all, they should've done some xrays and such to make sure that there's no significant brain injury or anything of that matter, thar sucks man I hope everything was all good though
Even elementary teachers know this. Head injury is always a priority. She can’t have made it all the way through nursing school without at least one teacher/mentor hammering this point home.
The scene is from Atlana Medical (The Resident) S1E4, the scene of the patient dying was cut in this video, by the time they give her that talk he is already dead in case anyone wonders why they aren’t taking care of the patient first. Plus the nurse was lectured earlier in the episode that she shouldn’t triage people as urgent when they were basic
The fact that he wiped out and all he had was headache and some scrapes and still went to the hospital just to make sure is impressive most ppl would just shake it off
The first time I got a major concussion I fell off a trampoline and hit my head I told this to my dad and mum and they were really worried they did the light test and then my dad said “looks like we’re going to the ER today” my only symptom was a really bad headache and severe sensitivity to light but I looked just fine there was no blood nor bruise after I looked fine when we got to the doctor they said I had a really bad concussion, I had to stay home from school for a while while I healed and my school threw a fit about it cuz I looked fine to them and my mum had to tear the principal apart to be able to keep me home until I was mainly healed
I remember one of my favourite artists on youtuber passed away due to such carelessness. She was cheerleading in her school and people failed to catch her after throwing and the mat was too thin. The coach literally told her to get up and go to medical room and told her it would be okay in a while even though in such accidents you're not supposed to move the victim. Idk what happened to her in detail but she was injured near her neck/head and was in coma for like 3 months before she passed away. She had just turned 18 and was in her last year of school. Miss you so much chesy arts 💔
I work at a VA hospital and am a disabled Vet. One night I lifted more than I should of and complained of chest pain (strained muscle). 2 days later they released me. Every test you could imagine all due to my words "I have some chest pain."
My son dislocated his elbow at 2 1/2. Because he wasn't screaming, they never touched, just said have a seat After an hour, my husband went to find out how much longer as people came in after were being taken first. They blew him off. He barged into radiology and explained what was going on. The guy came out immediately, yelled at tge nurse telling her if my son had nerve damage, it was her head and her job! He then took us back immediately and relocated his elbow. Thankfully, there is no nerve damage, and today, he's fine.
Quick question: How did your husband barge into radiology? At least where I'm from, Massachusetts, the doors that allow access out of the waiting room and into the doctor's areas are behind locked doors. To be honest, if your husband was able to gain access that easily to any doctor behind locked doors, then I would be nervous sitting in any room, waiting or otherwise. Imagine some random person bursting into a room with a doctor, angry and scared. That's a recipe for disaster most of the time, and sadly, especially nowadays.
Btw if its not based on the time you get there it is based on the urgency of the situation. So people who came after you and went in first probably had more serious injuries.
This is The Resident! The saddest part is his phone was lost early on so they couldn’t identify him at all until the phone was finally found at the end of the episode.
My brother's mate got into a fight that caused a brain bleed. A week of suffering and being ignored by doctors until he passed out in the kitchen found by his wife. I get they are busy and aren't superheroes but damn it hits different when it's someone close to you.
As an old ER R.N., living in Canada, first day working in Emerg would never be working triage! We worked 4 -6 months in all parts of the department before we were allowed to triage. And never thrown to the wolves by ourselves for another month. And the doc would be screaming, not discussing.
the context was they had to do severe budget cuts and fired the old nurse to to her salary. brought in a new one and then had a bus accident so lots of people coming in with injuries that appeared more severe
And it said “nurse almost hurt patient” her negligence and incompetence killed him. No one who easily get a mental breakdown and uses “it’s my first day” as an excuse should be allowed in healthcare
You don't really start learning medical until you're actually doing it. Just like most jobs, you're going to mess up your first day regardless of what it is.
My daughter's friend almost died because she told her teacher she had a horrible headache and wanted to go see the nurse, said her vision was really blurry and the teacher told her she could wait until class was over, she waited for 30 minutes then passed out walking down the hall to go see the nurse, turns out she had a brain aneurysm and almost died, took her over a year to learn how to walk, talk and eat on her own again, thankfully the teacher was fired when it was found out that she had stopped many students from seeing the nurse when they needed to
As a victim of many concussions in my life up to 9 now. This is a perfect example of what happens. One second you’re practically fine and the next you could be dying unexpectedly, scary stuff.
I was in a car accident in 2008. Hospital focused on my hurt leg and didn't pay any attention to my slight headache. I didn't remember hitting my head. I didn't think I passed out at that time but thinking back in pretty sure I did. They discharged me with a leg brace and some pain meds. My mom was the one who noticed I was dealing with a headache so severe only the oxy I'd been given for my leg relieved it and the associated nausea. That was three days later. I had a TBI and ended up dropping out of college because I could no longer retain any of what I was learning. That was 16 years ago and I still struggle. I did mostly overcome the stutter that I developed because of it
@Sara-wv3ms I'm actually doing pretty well where I'm at. I have a great career with coworkers who understand that I struggle to remember things and work with me until it sticks. Management is less understanding but can't do anything because I'm protected by the union
This exact situation happened to me. I had an electric longboard going about 40 mph when I fell. I had a gash on the back of my head but was responsive and didn't show signs of anything severe. Rode in an ambulance, got to the ER and they had me wait since I was responsive with showing no signs of anything serious minus the gash on my head. About 30 mins later I felt the need to throw up and asked for a baggie from a nurse. I threw up and blackout, I just remember getting placed in a wheelchair, then ending up on a bed. My mom, a nurse, bitched them out asking why they didn't immedietly check me in when I got to the ER. I got luckily no permanent damage was done to me.
To add to the story, I was lucky. When I had fell a few neighbors that lived in my subdivision were driving by when they saw me on the ground. They helped me with towels to stop the bleeding and called the ambulance. If it wasn't for them, I probably would be dead. I would've been too stubborn to call an ambulance and would've tried to "walk it off".
Yeah, it is always better to be safe than sorry and in this case, to always take patients with brain injuries to urgent care. Since, you'll still get yelled at for being overcautious or undercautious.
This is why there should be a doctor in the emergency room checking on patients as well as a triage nurse. A doctor can dismiss people who don't need to be there, which cuts down wait times, and they can double check in case the nurse makes a mistake.
Med student here: for anyone wondering, he most likely suffered an epidural hematoma. Classically, they suffer head trauma and may lose consciousness, but then quickly go back to normal with little to no symptoms. We call this the "lucid interval" which is likely the stage this patient was at. However, after a few hours, as the hematoma expands, the patient suffers a brain herniation and dies. I say all this in hopes to save someone's life one day: if you or a friend suffer a bad head injury and then feel fine, PLEASE still get checked out. Better to be safe than sorry
How are you feeling about becoming a doctor/nurse (idk you didn’t specify) aren’t you terrified of the pressure? The pressure that 1 teeny tiny mistake you make can cost a persons life? I mean, it’s not like a regular job where a “customer” can say “ahh, it’s ok, it’s your first day so I understand!”. Any mistake a healthcare worker makes can either permanently change, or end a human beings 1 single life they have here on this Earth. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t even imagine being a barber, let alone a doctor. Especially like… a surgeon? Ah god, forget it.
@@bostontowny4life744There are protocols we follow to avoid mistakes, specially in the triage or initial resuscitation level. Following them means in most of the time, with most of the patients, it is total waste of the time as majority of them don't require any medical care. But we still do follow them because losing even one life to a preventable cause is unacceptable
@bostontowny4life744 if no one has the guts to learn and take action, we'd all die from natural causes more easily. That's my thought if I went to med school. Would you rather take the chance and try or just watch and do nothing?
Considering how many times this happened irl that even people with zero training would know about it, it’s crazy that it’s STILL happening in hospitals full of nurses and doctors.
I got the same treatment when I went for the same kind of accident. Crashed a longboard, busted my head open. They just had me go sit in an empty emergency room. There may have been 2 other people there. They never even told me if I had a concussion or not. They just told me when I could go get the staples out.
I hate going to the emergency room. I got into a car accident and went to make sure I was okay they were like since there isn't any visible injury not much we can do but prescribe you. The day after I realized I bruised my organs pretty good. And I could eat much because as weird as it sounds when I ate my insides were in pain along with just drinking water. And whatever the prescribe me didn't help i prefer going to urgent care but unfortunately they were closed by the time i actually got "rescued".
When I was a child, 6 years old, my best friend went to sleep over where he quite literally fell outta bed and bumped his head, now that head injury wasn’t that bad…until he started to seize, he had a small tumor and that small bump was enough to make bad into worst, i remember his family talking about how the doctors said if he didn’t bump his head he would still be alive.
Feelings compared to emotions. She was operating out of women intuition… the males know to be emotional but stay calm, importance is a sense of urgency and also a sign of great care, I’d rather have this guys downstairs up front to receive

My former biology teacher is smart but she was *too* smart. She always ends up “geeking out” (or so I call it). She accidentally “geeks out” on us and tells us things that should be at college level WHILE WE’RE STILL IN 8th grade. Of course, I have no problem with that, it’s actually fun to listen to her and it’s helpful advice. One of the lessons I will never forget is that injuries on the head or back SHOULD ALWAYS be taken seriously. I wanted to ask why but even it clicked to me why it was REALLY IMPORTANT.
If you hurt yourself somewhere else chances are it'll resolve itself no problem but head and back can leave you dead or paralyzed even from what seems like minor hits.
One time I had an asthma episode and went to my local ER. There was a couple there. His wife was also having an episode also. I noticed that the staff did everything to NOT treat her. I let her husband know that breathing issues are top priority and that he needs to advocate for her. When he started complaining only then did they put her on the mist. Sometimes its not incompetence. Many times its indifference.
school nurses will slap a band-aid on your head, give you the worlds smallest ice pack, and tell you to be more careful💀 edit: OMG TYSM FOR 4.6k ONE DAY! AND ITS THE MOST IVE EVER GOTTEN!! :D
Yes! I also got a sticker put on me that said “I hit my head” so when I got home my mom would see it. I was in such bad shape they should’ve called my mom right then and there. I was on the swing at recess and fell off head first BACKWARDS
At my school you basically had to be at risk of losing too much blood before anyone did anything about it most of the time we were just got told to toughen up and get back to class
Oh he died? Man not knowing anything about hospitals or this scene, I felt like the guy was a bit harsh when there is nothing that can be done now. “It’s over and done with, let’s take care of him now”, kind of mentality.
@@jacobs5057 I said given the lack of context, not knowing he died. I though the guy was harsh, if someone was stressed and made a mistake (that didn’t lead to someone dying) stressing them out more is the worst thing. Given context of the show (from what I have gathered) he still shouldn’t have done that then and there. She either needs to be sent home, or tell her mistakes happen and let a supervisor handle the situation after. But I am in no place to say if he was right or wrong.

Head injuries and chest pain are always life or death until ruled out.
Once went to the hospital with chest pains - took them 3 hours to get be checked out and then other 2 to get XRay and EKG. If it was heart related I would've probably just collapsed. "Free" healthcare moment
Chest pains, not always. I have had chest pains occasionally throughout the years. Caused by anxiety as I have no heart problems after being checked many times. So really it just depends. But head injuries, certainly
@@levithebaddest2369same I used to get really paranoid about it because my dad passed away suddenly when I was 16 from a heart attack, sometimes I’d work my self up so much I’d genuinely convince myself I was having a heart attack even though I was perfectly fine. Not to mention getting ait trapped in your esophagus can also make you feel like you’re about to have a heart attack and cause chest pain/tightness.
Only a female can cry her way out of a situation
I fell in the freezer at Walmart yesterday. Slipped on the iced floor. fell on my back and slammed my head, palletjack then ran over my foot. Continued on while being dizzy and an extreme headache/pain. Fell asleep on the bus on my way home then immediately as I got home despite being told not to fall asleep by a coworker.
head injuries are seriously so important! a girl in my high school died on the way to school because she had a head injury due to a “minor” car accident days before. she fell asleep on the school bus and never woke up :( please take any head injuries serious even if it doesn’t hurt at the moment 😔

This happened to my son almost exactly. He had an epidural hematoma - his brain was pushed over 1/6 of the way. It took 3 hours for them to give him a CT scan. My husband took him in & trusted them to know what they were doing. The difference was the ER doctor was casually teaching some students and one of them noticed some dried blood behind his ear.
All of a sudden they were all rushing around saying time was of the essence. They airlifted him to the nearest trauma center and told my husband he needed to hurry down there - 1 & 1/2 hours away by car - to "be with him" (...while he died. But that was unspoken.)
He didn't die. 10 of us drove to the trauma center. He was released in a week. He made a full recovery in a year.
I am so glad! 🙏
I hope you sued...

I remember I went to the emergency room for a nut allergy and I was having difficulty breathing and nobody checked on me for 3 hours I got up bought Benadryl barely able to see and breathe chugged it and went to bed only to get a voicemail in the morning that they were looking for me and to come back lol
Most nurses hear the words "i hit my head" and that takes precedence over everything else
When she said “okay headache, road rash” I was like HEADACHE?? TRAUMA TO THE HEAD MAAM😂😂
^w comment I came to the er shaking and unable to raise my shoulder after a drunk driver hit meand I said I could wait to be seen. The nurse literally “put” me into a wheelchair I know nurses technically aren’t supposed to do this. But honestly they were angels. I didnt even know I was bleeding from my head and I had torn tendons and ligaments and was in shock. They said I could’ve collapsed if I waited longer and they ended up having to stay for an extended time because the pain was so bad I couldn’t sit, stand, or lay down without yelling. We don’t deserve our first responders, they are literally the best of us in my opinion. Thank you to all the medical field and service members
I was at work and hit my head just as a nurse came by she made me sit down and checked for a concussion right therein the middle of the aisle at Walmart
I slipped on water and I hit my head on the ground at work. I was bleeding from a small gash on my head. Doctor came in looked at it and told me take some pain killers. A nurse had to clean my wound and that's about it. $300 hospital bill for basically nothing done except for just a clean.

She’s a nurse not a CNA. Her job is to triage patients in the E.D.
@@kenstroede1742 yes but head trauma is always serious. She made a call past the triage because she didn’t follow triage procedures. She went one step farther. Deciding that head injury isn’t fatal is the doctors job.
@@kenstroede1742 I once had my face drop and as soon as the nurse saw me it was a stroke call. Was it a stroke no, did I have ANY OTHER SIGNS no but that wasn’t the nurses job to figure out ALONE. You are trained to take ONE symptom seriously because the simple fact that it could be means immediate care is needed. I’ve had so many patients tell me their chest hurts and they are fine, but I’ll never be the one to not tell my nurse immediately. it’s CNAs that brush it off because they look fine that then have a dead body on their hands. Don’t make calls and decisions that aren’t yours to make. Patients know their bodies.
Well, that is her job as a nurse lmao. Nurses are always in charge of triage. Her problem wasn't assigning urgency because that *was* actually her job, the problem was not realizing a head injury is always urgent.

Finally after soaking 2 large towels in blood within minutes we decided to buck up and call 911. It was so scary but thankfully he turned out to be okay.

So when I ran through it, my feet went out from under me literally above my head.. I hit so hard my dad heard it from inside the house.

@@HeyTexasItsMe it's the most basic things, it's common sense to know that if you have head injury it's should be taken seriously
And I say unemployment (hopefully you don't live in a red state) pays better
This is my biggest fear. I dont respond to pain with distress or in a normal way. I end up overly communicating, which leads most people to think im okay even if im a 8 out of 10 on the pain scale and describe to them how much im suffering. Its pretty scary that all it takes is one person not recognizing how severe an issue is and suddenly, you either have to fight for how severe YOU think it is or comply and hope the professional is right.
I dont feel bad for her, first day on the job after years of studying and basic info and her call was to assume someone's state from sight alone and change the whole protocal just because he calmly explained the severity. Pretty hard to feel any guilt towards her, she deserved the reality check from the other dude calling her on it.
I’m similar. I was given an objective pain scale with descriptions and realized I don’t even start to register pain until it’s at a 6+ and I call that a 1. I got caught under the chin by a dog at work during Covid and seemed fine until the next day. Suddenly dissociating, dealing with confusion. Thought it was PTSD related and was texting a friend to help stay grounded. She works in a hospital doing EEGs and commented about if I had any other concussion symptoms.
I ended up in an ambulance from work during Covid and because I tend to over share and analyze I didn’t get a CT (also because I’d had a few over the last few years due to migraines and Lepto) and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. But realized the next day after trying to work because I wasn’t discharged well that I couldn’t retain or process anything I read. For about 4 days. My friend agrees I was misdiagnosed and it was a more severe concussion. But I was too verbal for that to be considered and my primary symptom had been derealization with no real pain except a sore jaw.
The problem isn’t how he presented himself or his response to pain. It’s that he had a potential brain injury and didn’t triage him correctly. With head injuries, sometimes the person won’t seem to have many issues at first but then their condition suddenly deteriorates like you see here. Someone seeming mostly ok after a head injury can actually be a sign that things are about to get worse. Which is what happened here.
Your fear is 100% valid and does apply. I just wanted to explain the nurses actual mistake was judging a head injury patient on whether or not they seemed ok. Which is NOT what they should do. You might already know that but I figured I’d say it just in case lol.
Try not to be afraid though, it’s okay to advocate for yourself if you have to. It’s always better safe than sorry when it comes to your health! Take care.
Nah you hear that someone hit their head you take them straight to get checked up, head injuries are no jokes
No way would a nurse be on triage alone on their first day unless she was the only nurse left standing.
Unfortunately it happens. I have a condition where I have to go to the ER pretty often and I’ve had people who had only been there a day or two before the person taking care of everyone with the only other person being the cop. There is another nurse but she’s taking vitals of patients in a different room typically
@@diemidnight2365 first day at the hospital, first day as a nurse, or first day as a triage nurse? Either way it that would be pretty scary. That wouldn't happen here.
@@diemidnight2365I work in an ER in Canada. In mine it’s 2 years experience to be hired to ER. 1 year at least to work monitors and codes, 2 years at least to work triage.
And Triage is never too busy to triage. There may be a line…but we are never doing anything except triaging.
@@jamimunchkin7041 so for me the closest hospital has student nurses it’s essentially at a university. So it was there first day actually doing the job they had training prior but it was her first real day.
You've never worked in a hospital in a time of global crisis, clearly. This DOES happen.
In real life she is fired and lost her nurse license and hospital with huge sue in their hands and nurse she be sued too.😢
Only the hospital for their incompetence. A nurse’s first day will never have them unattended by someone with experience, they don’t allow that here in the US. She’d likely be deemed innocent since there should’ve been someone there to stop her.
Seems like most women who work in the medical field if I'm being perfectly honest

My cousin had to deal with a similar situation on his first day, understaffed, over crowded, yet still managed to prioritise the 3 people with head trauma who came to him, your first day isn’t an excuse, if anything it’s a sign that your not cut out for the pressure of the job.
I almost had this kind of experience. Except it was with a friend. I was 16 and had severely hit my head and passed out for 2 hours. Then hit my head in the same spot later that day. My friends family basically said, "he's fine doesn't need to go to the ER". I'm lucky I woke up at all. Almost slipped into a coma - I could smell and hear and feel things, but I couldnt move or wake myself up. After being jolted awake by my friend shaking me, I'm here, thankfully.
Head injuries are serious matters. My life changed forever that day. My brain completely changed - afterwards I was diagnosed with Bipolar because the changes in my brain chemistry due to the trauma, I have severe memory loss even to this day, and I now get more headaches now than I have ever before. I cannot reiterate this enough: HEAD INJURIES TAKE PRECEDENT. NEVER IGNORE IT NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT SEEMS!!!!!! I'm thankful and glad to be awake and alive after being dismissed.
I was so mad at my mom (a nurse) when I was a kid cause I crashed on my bike without a helmet, knocked unconscious, and when they brought me home from the crash she wouldnt let me go to sleep. All I wanted to do was sleep.
That night when it was bedtime and I could finally go to sleep, she kept waking me up, every half hour, all night.
Was so annoyed at the time, but looking back I realized she could have saved my life, and also she probably didnt sleep a single wink that entire night. Had her shoes on ready to take me to the hospital in a heartbeat if I showed any of the bad signs.
Pros know head trauma is no joke.
She should of just taken you to a hospital lol
Well you had a reason to. She should have taken you to the hospital
She risked your life
My mom who is a nurse never took mr to the hospital when i hit my head on the bottom of a pool so hard i chipped a large chunk of tooth off. Or when i chipped my front two teeth so bad that more than half of both were missing in an arch (i remembered falling but not anything else) 💀
@kristinehansen. If they live somewhere like America, just going to get checked out in hospital costs a lot.
It seems to me that the nurse (and mother) understood the situation and was able to manage it but also prepared to go the moment it was actually necessary.
Now if it had been somewhere with free health care, then they should of gone immediately.
in 2016, my mom hit her head on the sidewalk. she was fine. she drove herself to the ER. they checked her out and she left 6 hours later with a black eye and a nice bump on her head. nothing life threatening. 3 days later, she was having flu like symptoms and later that night i found her sprawled out on her bed drooling and mumbling incoherent sentences. my uncle took her to the ER, turns out she had a brain bleed which ended up causing her to have a seizure. the bleeding wasn’t bad enough to operate so her body absorbed the blood. but she was in the ICU for a few days and she actually flatlined 2 times. she was in rehab for 3 months re-learning how to walk properly and do basic tasks. to this day she still experiences side effects from the brain bleed such as short term memory, migraines and personality changes. every single nurse and doctor needs to take head injuries seriously.
take good care of your mom, I hope she's doing well now!!
Hoping she’s fine take good care of her
May Allah take care of her inshallah
man take care of her I hope she will be okay

A physician sent me straight to the ER with a letter, in hand, stating there was a high possibility I was going to have either a stroke or aneurysm very soon. Once I got the ER i showed them the letter and after reading it they just told me to have a seat and wait till I hear my name. I sat in the waiting room for 4 hours before I even got an EKG. This stuff happens way more often than you’d so make sure you know about certain ER protocols so you don’t end up in the same situation.
Happened to me. Had heart problems, hard time breathing, waited for 4 hours in this Georgian hospital. I passed out and woke up in the hospital room to nurses panicking, saying I was going to have a heart attack, giving me medicines through my IV, all while thinking "I fucking came here for a reason why did you leave me out in the hall without asking me anything for FOUR FUCKING HOURS"
as a trauma nurse… this really should’ve been marked as urgent esp because this is a head injury and it could’ve potentially been fatal
It was fatal I’m pretty sure is what they are saying
It was fatal in the show. And it took them a long time to even identify the patient because he dropped his phone
@@sidneym2066 what show is it ?
he ended up dying.
@@TanishiChaudharythe resident
hes dying, but lets hear a whole speech on how you messed up
He's not going to tell anyone......
Yep why didn't they tell her after the operation or whatever is needed im not a doctor
I would assume this was after finding out he’s not able to be saved?
Or for dramatic purposes I guess.
That's why this is a movie and not real life.
They already stabilize him just waiting to see response
Her attitude was like "you will be fine, let me come back after a quick smoke."
Can we just talk about how good an actor this girl is? I bought her performance completely. She did such an amazing job!
I once passed out in a bathroom at work due to a low blood pressure problem and cracked my head on the concrete.
I kept telling the medics my head hurt. I was disoriented and confused. They told the nurses at the ER that I was on drugs. They tested my blood and threw me out without a scan.
I wondered the hospital grounds until a cop found me and helped my call a family member for a ride. Went to another hospital and learned my brain was swelling from a severe concussion.
Edit: I can't sue anymore. This happened nearly 12 years ago. The statute of limitations is 7. The hospital no longer has records of my visit since they purged their records after that 7 years. I don't remember who the EMTs were or who the doctors and nurses were who kicked me out. Nothing will hold up in court since there is no longer proof of anything happening.
I was in a dark place during the time and hadn't even thought of suing. It was just a bad experience I believed I deserved. Obviously, I know now I didn't. But, PTSD from abuse (not related to the hospital) messes up the mind.
Sue the other hospital

Head trauma is no joke, i took my son to the hospital after he had fell from climbing the sink (hes a 2yo) and i was clunsy enough to inna sense fall with him rather than catch him 😢 the bad spacial judgement on my part cost me my son spending hours in the hospital, usc being labelled as category 2 since he had also fallen asleep despite me trying to keep him awake during our walk (it was more of a run) to the hospital. A concussion later, rousing awake a few times, meds, lots of ice and many tests later he was ruled out for any significant damage. I never stayed a step away from my son again whenever he goes to wash his hands. ❤ appreciated all the nurses who acted so quickly upon arrival too, they knew it was significant head trauma and treated straight away. 😢 Didnt want to take the chance of not going into hospital despite my own fear of em (my mother had several strokes after a hurse refused to check her in for her head trauma just like this nurse has done.. shes gone now, the person living isnt my mother anymore, but a violent abusive, severely delayed husk of a human.)

I am a former ICU nurse. Please immediately seek help for any type of head trauma especially if it's associated with a headache, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. A patient can go from walking and talking to irreversible brain damage within hours. They were hard on her in this video, but people truly do tend to underestimate the responsibilities of a nurse. It is a nurse's job to monitor and report changes immediately. I remember a patient very clearly who was not appropriately monitored after a simple fall. The nurse failed to report increasing blood pressure on the patient. By the time I reported for my next shift this patient was an organ donation patient whose lifeless body was being prepared for harvest. It's absolutely gut wrenching. Not all healthcare personnel are professionals. Advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
Just know that if someone comes in for a head injury they obviously thought it was bad because the hospital is usually a last resort.
Are u from the US?
Why would it be a last resort?
@@dpeterszcause they try to play it off like it would get better eventually but it gets worse so they go to the hospital
@@GThunder_Gaming in the US reason you would avoid the hospital are due to its crippling medical bills.... so yeah last resort and its fucking disgusting that it comes to this...
@@dpetersz pretty much the only reason I would go to the hospital is if I had a broken bone. I've had covid twice but never been to the hospital. In fact, I've never gone to the hospital for anything but a checkup and I haven't had a checkup or a physical or whatever in over 10 years. I still go to the dentist. At least, I did before I aged out of my parents insurance. There was a good year where I couldn't bend my knee without an insane amount of pain and I was limping when I walked. Still didn't go to the hospital. I used to have this issue where I would randomly pass out and just collapse onto the floor. Never went to the hospital. I pretty much won't go unless I was shot or stabbed honestly. And even then, I would get myself there because an ambulance ride is too damn expensive and it's cheaper to clean blood out of a car
I had a friend die in waiting room. They never even called his name to get his blood pressure checked before a janitor found him dead from a heart attack at 37 after waiting over 4hrs. He had two kids. Hell I was left bleeding in a waiting with an deep cut in my scalp that needed stitches for 8hrs only to be called back and told it stopped bleeding and too much time has passed so they could no longer do stitches. They still billed me for it

My friend hit his head pretty good in high school football and like most of us he just shook it off but the coach noticed he took a good hit and called timeout. Our coach asked if he was okay and he said he was fine but his head hurt a bit so coach immediately got the trainer over to look at him. Found out the next day he actually had a pretty serious concussion and the doctor recommended him to not play contact sports ever again. Doctor was grateful our coach pulled him from the game immediately or he could’ve had permanent brain damage had he taken another hard hit to the head
But they're like sitting there arguing while he's in need of urgent care???

I went to ER, high-risk pregnancy, told the triage nurse everything wrong, and she was hustling me to the back when she asked conversationally how many kids I had. Said this was my first. She stopped, told me to have a seat until she called me. My water broke and it took three days of watching my son, my miracle baby, fight for his life before he died. He would have been twenty this July 24th, 2024. My own family had told me I was being dramatic (cuz I hired a maid - I was told not to do anything like sweep or mop by my doctor) until then. We are our own best advocates.
That really sad 😔 I am also 20
I'm so sorry, that's so messed up that your family said you were being dramatic. Death isn't a joke, and neither is your mental health. I understand completely how it feels, and I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I hope your life gets better, even though it Won't be the same.
my birthday is also July 24th of 97. I have 3 children and 2 of them (my girls) there almost lost but I ended up advocating and walked away from my own dr until someone listened. I had them at 36 and 32 and I'm hugging them a little tighter today. 1 year and 5 months
Sounds like he wouldn’t have made it either way. Medical personnel can only do so much yk.
So sorry. You’re a warrior. 😊
You wouldnt be questioning the nurse while patient is critical.
When I was almost 16 years old, I was in a bad car accident. Walked away from it with a few scratches and a bit of a headache. I was at summer camp. Because I have a history of headaches, we weren't sure if it was due to a concussion or not (I've gotten migraines from accidentally bumping my head against walls before). After the ambulance crew checked me out, the camp nurses monitored me for the next 6-8 hours and didn't let me go to sleep. Then my counselor checked on me every 2 hours through the night. Even though I turned out alright, my parents and I regret to this day that I didn't go get my head scanned that day, even though it would've meant an extremely expensive ambulance ride to a bigger city (or possibly even a helicopter ride), for good testing, it's possible that I had a mild concussion, but we can't know for sure because I wasn't scanned back then. If I knew back then what I know now about how life-threatening... Or at least life-changing, even a "minor concussion" can be, I think that I would've told my parents to have the camp send me to the hospital (I begged them not to, even though my dad's instinct was to have me get a scan). I'm so grateful the camp medical team monitored me so well because they very well may have saved my life just by making sure that I didn't go to sleep and that when I did go to sleep, I was still breathing.

ER nurse speaking here: it takes a LOT of practice to successfully triage someone (as in classify which patients need to be seen first), and it’s a lot harder than you think. You’re basically trying to predict what kind of care a patient should receive before they even see a provider. A new nurse should never be left alone to a task like this. It takes months and months of training and continuing education to be a triage nurse because you are responsible for every patient in that waiting room. You have to think and act quickly and determine how long a patient can wait before they need to be seen. And if you are wrong, if your assessment was inaccurate, then this is exactly what could happen (not trying to scare new nurses, this is a drama of course but shit can get real in the ER)
THANK YOU I was looking for this comment bc yes it was a bad call but it's her first day and leaving her unattended and fending for herself in an ER seems irresponsible (note: I am NOT a nurse, just someone who's clumsy and been to the ER a lot)
All of what you said is true. However, we all know head injuries take precedence, just like a GSW. Or anything else that you would’ve been taught BEFORE you got the job and started day 1
Not an excuse

@@ms.jackson8896 BRU
I went to the ER and as soon as I said "worst headache of my life" they got me back so fast. What i thought was a bad migraine was actually a stroke. The doctor wasn't sure whether to give me a CT scan or not because i was talking and acting normal, just dizzy and sick. I'm so thankful to him for deciding to be overly cautious.
So they don't do orientation for new staff? Orientation time is typically 2-3 months with a gradual transition to working independently. A nurse would not be left alone for a single second during their first shift in a new job.
For those who don’t know this is from the resident; in this episode the original charge nurse was cut from the hospital and got replaced by the one you see in the video to save the hospital money. The new charge nurse is having her first day and was not properly trained before being hired. A mass casualty comes in and she has never dealt with one before and gets overwhelmed causing her to send the head trauma patient to the waiting room because she labeled him as basic instead of acute which he would’ve been. It’s a really good show and I highly recommend watching it :))

If the patient doesnt have any fractures on the skull check to see if they are conscious and always alert take them to the hosptial anyways. if they feel like they have a headache or signs of confusion after the inury and your assessment dont waste time load them in the bus" never ever assume a head injury from a patient is minor injury always treat it as a trauma injury

I remember one of my favourite artists on youtuber passed away due to such carelessness. She was cheerleading in her school and people failed to catch her after throwing and the mat was too thin.

Idk what happened to her in detail but she was injured near her neck/head and was in coma for like 3 months before she passed away. She had just turned 18 and was in her last year of school.

Gotta love how they stop helping him to lecture her on how she should've helped him.
I work at a VA hospital and am a disabled Vet. One night I lifted more than I should of and complained of chest pain (strained muscle). 2 days later they released me. Every test you could imagine all due to my words "I have some chest pain."
My son dislocated his elbow at 2 1/2. Because he wasn't screaming, they never touched, just said have a seat
After an hour, my husband went to find out how much longer as people came in after were being taken first. They blew him off. He barged into radiology and explained what was going on. The guy came out immediately, yelled at tge nurse telling her if my son had nerve damage, it was her head and her job! He then took us back immediately and relocated his elbow. Thankfully, there is no nerve damage, and today, he's fine.
Quick question: How did your husband barge into radiology? At least where I'm from, Massachusetts, the doors that allow access out of the waiting room and into the doctor's areas are behind locked doors. To be honest, if your husband was able to gain access that easily to any doctor behind locked doors, then I would be nervous sitting in any room, waiting or otherwise. Imagine some random person bursting into a room with a doctor, angry and scared. That's a recipe for disaster most of the time, and sadly, especially nowadays.

Btw if its not based on the time you get there it is based on the urgency of the situation. So people who came after you and went in first probably had more serious injuries.
Doesn’t sound like an emergency.
This is The Resident!
The saddest part is his phone was lost early on so they couldn’t identify him at all until the phone was finally found at the end of the episode.
What happens to him?
@@sayanteesen6562 He ended up dying because he didn’t get the care fast enough.
Thanks for not giving it away. Much thanks and praise to you 🙏❤️
Do you know what episode?
@@envymordecai4429what episode and season is this if you don’t mind me asking?
Humans make mistakes but we also learn from them. This is a great example of that.
My brother's mate got into a fight that caused a brain bleed. A week of suffering and being ignored by doctors until he passed out in the kitchen found by his wife. I get they are busy and aren't superheroes but damn it hits different when it's someone close to you.
As an old ER R.N., living in Canada, first day working in Emerg would never be working triage! We worked 4 -6 months in all parts of the department before we were allowed to triage. And never thrown to the wolves by ourselves for another month. And the doc would be screaming, not discussing.
Yea, this drama is a little much. Healthcare throws you to the wolves sometimes but never at a risk to patients.
Triage is usually a punishment in America lol I avoid it by pretending to check in too slowly
@@stephenmayer9228throwing you to the wolves is always at the expense of the patients
Not when they have overseers. Which they do. They just don't tell you that when you're new so you get used to the pressure. @@lowkeylokii4205
the context was they had to do severe budget cuts and fired the old nurse to to her salary. brought in a new one and then had a bus accident so lots of people coming in with injuries that appeared more severe
And it said “nurse almost hurt patient” her negligence and incompetence killed him. No one who easily get a mental breakdown and uses “it’s my first day” as an excuse should be allowed in healthcare
You don't really start learning medical until you're actually doing it. Just like most jobs, you're going to mess up your first day regardless of what it is.
Well that's why it's a show
brother it's called practice for a reason. no amount of classroom learning will prepare you for er rush time
@@anthonyatkinson8181I bet the boy understands.
Hell nah when I was training ad a combat medic for the army the one thing that they taught us was always take head trauma seriously.
The way she started crying it broke my heart 😢
My daughter's friend almost died because she told her teacher she had a horrible headache and wanted to go see the nurse, said her vision was really blurry and the teacher told her she could wait until class was over, she waited for 30 minutes then passed out walking down the hall to go see the nurse, turns out she had a brain aneurysm and almost died, took her over a year to learn how to walk, talk and eat on her own again, thankfully the teacher was fired when it was found out that she had stopped many students from seeing the nurse when they needed to
As a victim of many concussions in my life up to 9 now. This is a perfect example of what happens. One second you’re practically fine and the next you could be dying unexpectedly, scary stuff.
I know a rhyme thats relates to brain injuries, its about an old man hitting his head, going to bed, and never waking next morning
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed and bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning
@@nellie__dyam
@@nellie__my mom used to recite this all the time. 😊
Love that these shows paint the nurses in this light mean while in real life you have to call rapids just to get a Dr at bedside
Head injury is ALWAYS taught as being urgent, even if it’s her first day she should know that
I was in a car accident in 2008. Hospital focused on my hurt leg and didn't pay any attention to my slight headache. I didn't remember hitting my head. I didn't think I passed out at that time but thinking back in pretty sure I did. They discharged me with a leg brace and some pain meds.
My mom was the one who noticed I was dealing with a headache so severe only the oxy I'd been given for my leg relieved it and the associated nausea. That was three days later. I had a TBI and ended up dropping out of college because I could no longer retain any of what I was learning. That was 16 years ago and I still struggle. I did mostly overcome the stutter that I developed because of it
Me too. 😢 I went to a doctor in Chicago, the mind eye institute, helped a lot. I am healed mostly. Please go. Don’t be a prisoner in your own mind
@Sara-wv3ms I'm actually doing pretty well where I'm at. I have a great career with coworkers who understand that I struggle to remember things and work with me until it sticks. Management is less understanding but can't do anything because I'm protected by the union
@@ratracer89 that’s awesome
Womp womp
This exact situation happened to me. I had an electric longboard going about 40 mph when I fell. I had a gash on the back of my head but was responsive and didn't show signs of anything severe. Rode in an ambulance, got to the ER and they had me wait since I was responsive with showing no signs of anything serious minus the gash on my head. About 30 mins later I felt the need to throw up and asked for a baggie from a nurse. I threw up and blackout, I just remember getting placed in a wheelchair, then ending up on a bed. My mom, a nurse, bitched them out asking why they didn't immedietly check me in when I got to the ER. I got luckily no permanent damage was done to me.
To add to the story, I was lucky. When I had fell a few neighbors that lived in my subdivision were driving by when they saw me on the ground. They helped me with towels to stop the bleeding and called the ambulance. If it wasn't for them, I probably would be dead. I would've been too stubborn to call an ambulance and would've tried to "walk it off".
Yeah, it is always better to be safe than sorry and in this case, to always take patients with brain injuries to urgent care. Since, you'll still get yelled at for being overcautious or undercautious.
This is why there should be a doctor in the emergency room checking on patients as well as a triage nurse. A doctor can dismiss people who don't need to be there, which cuts down wait times, and they can double check in case the nurse makes a mistake.
Med student here: for anyone wondering, he most likely suffered an epidural hematoma. Classically, they suffer head trauma and may lose consciousness, but then quickly go back to normal with little to no symptoms. We call this the "lucid interval" which is likely the stage this patient was at. However, after a few hours, as the hematoma expands, the patient suffers a brain herniation and dies. I say all this in hopes to save someone's life one day: if you or a friend suffer a bad head injury and then feel fine, PLEASE still get checked out. Better to be safe than sorry
How are you feeling about becoming a doctor/nurse (idk you didn’t specify) aren’t you terrified of the pressure? The pressure that 1 teeny tiny mistake you make can cost a persons life? I mean, it’s not like a regular job where a “customer” can say “ahh, it’s ok, it’s your first day so I understand!”. Any mistake a healthcare worker makes can either permanently change, or end a human beings 1 single life they have here on this Earth. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t even imagine being a barber, let alone a doctor. Especially like… a surgeon? Ah god, forget it.
@@bostontowny4life744nurses are not “med students” no matter how bad they want to be put in the same category
@@bostontowny4life744There are protocols we follow to avoid mistakes, specially in the triage or initial resuscitation level. Following them means in most of the time, with most of the patients, it is total waste of the time as majority of them don't require any medical care. But we still do follow them because losing even one life to a preventable cause is unacceptable
@@bostontowny4life744he said med school, nurses don’t go to med school.
@bostontowny4life744 if no one has the guts to learn and take action, we'd all die from natural causes more easily. That's my thought if I went to med school. Would you rather take the chance and try or just watch and do nothing?
Considering how many times this happened irl that even people with zero training would know about it, it’s crazy that it’s STILL happening in hospitals full of nurses and doctors.
It's not that crazy. Humans are stupid.
this is a movie/show
I got the same treatment when I went for the same kind of accident. Crashed a longboard, busted my head open. They just had me go sit in an empty emergency room. There may have been 2 other people there. They never even told me if I had a concussion or not. They just told me when I could go get the staples out.
I hate going to the emergency room. I got into a car accident and went to make sure I was okay they were like since there isn't any visible injury not much we can do but prescribe you. The day after I realized I bruised my organs pretty good. And I could eat much because as weird as it sounds when I ate my insides were in pain along with just drinking water. And whatever the prescribe me didn't help i prefer going to urgent care but unfortunately they were closed by the time i actually got "rescued".
@@yes5937 Huh? What are you talking about?
When I was a child, 6 years old, my best friend went to sleep over where he quite literally fell outta bed and bumped his head, now that head injury wasn’t that bad…until he started to seize, he had a small tumor and that small bump was enough to make bad into worst, i remember his family talking about how the doctors said if he didn’t bump his head he would still be alive.
Over sensitive people who get overwhelmed easily shouldn't be in jobs where people's lives are at stake
Feelings compared to emotions. She was operating out of women intuition… the males know to be emotional but stay calm, importance is a sense of urgency and also a sign of great care, I’d rather have this guys downstairs up front to receive
@@Quavantawhy did you have to be s3xist? Seriously, it's 2024, most healthcare practitioners are women. Women represent around 70% of the global healthcare workforce.
@@Quavanta yeah this is just bs, there are plenty of capable female nurses who know how to do their jobs correctly despite their emotional state. Also this is a tv show, why not try basing a statement off of reality instead?
@@ElectraFresh67 where is it that that’s bullshit please find it in some states that aren’t pampered by this virus social construct… if you had a left brain you would know that what I said is a basis based upon every religion and its origin and how they all describe the proper household nuclear and original… you friend can not tell me otherwise. Like I said I would have rather had a angry man who took me seriously than a exhausted woman who thought nothing of me… say what you want men are saving lives in this world mental crisis and it’s currently women’s fault… you are not here for fax you are here to try and make me feel bad for the fact I am a better person than most women even on my worst day. This is logic… I can control my emotions… I don’t take my emotions out on people who didn’t do anything wrong. I know women will say I’m frustrated and you’re not helping. Same thing an out of control man would say, but the courts don’t care … for a woman they would say that’s reasonable… you’re not living in reality if you’re telling me I’m wrong.
My former biology teacher is smart but she was *too* smart. She always ends up “geeking out” (or so I call it). She accidentally “geeks out” on us and tells us things that should be at college level WHILE WE’RE STILL IN 8th grade. Of course, I have no problem with that, it’s actually fun to listen to her and it’s helpful advice.
One of the lessons I will never forget is that injuries on the head or back SHOULD ALWAYS be taken seriously. I wanted to ask why but even it clicked to me why it was REALLY IMPORTANT.
Quick! Think fast! What’s hawkings radiation + quantum entanglement?
wtf is that rant
Brain bleeds and paralyzed. Don’t let them move if back!
If you hurt yourself somewhere else chances are it'll resolve itself no problem but head and back can leave you dead or paralyzed even from what seems like minor hits.
Wow, you seem like you realise things faster than others!
One time I had an asthma episode and went to my local ER. There was a couple there. His wife was also having an episode also. I noticed that the staff did everything to NOT treat her. I let her husband know that breathing issues are top priority and that he needs to advocate for her. When he started complaining only then did they put her on the mist. Sometimes its not incompetence. Many times its indifference.
Doctor: Head injury is serious
Her: Its only my third day out here idk
school nurses will slap a band-aid on your head, give you the worlds smallest ice pack, and tell you to be more careful💀
edit: OMG TYSM FOR 4.6k ONE DAY! AND ITS THE MOST IVE EVER GOTTEN!! :D
Yes! I also got a sticker put on me that said “I hit my head” so when I got home my mom would see it. I was in such bad shape they should’ve called my mom right then and there. I was on the swing at recess and fell off head first BACKWARDS
Wet paper towels
You got an icepack? I busted my head open and all I got was a popsicle wrapped in a paper towel. Didn't even get to keep the popsicle.
LMAO WHY I SAID THE SAME THING
At my school you basically had to be at risk of losing too much blood before anyone did anything about it most of the time we were just got told to toughen up and get back to class
i like how the title says she "almost hurt" him when he fully died

The show is The Resident. For those wondering.
"Almost hurt patient"
Patient: dead
Oh he died? Man not knowing anything about hospitals or this scene, I felt like the guy was a bit harsh when there is nothing that can be done now.
“It’s over and done with, let’s take care of him now”, kind of mentality.
I was looking for this comment, thank you 😂
@@johnmcwick1”the guy was a bit harsh”
Yeah because someone died (at least in the show). Did you hit your head????
@@jacobs5057 I said given the lack of context, not knowing he died. I though the guy was harsh, if someone was stressed and made a mistake (that didn’t lead to someone dying) stressing them out more is the worst thing. Given context of the show (from what I have gathered) he still shouldn’t have done that then and there. She either needs to be sent home, or tell her mistakes happen and let a supervisor handle the situation after.
But I am in no place to say if he was right or wrong.
@@johnmcwick1they need to be harsh, so next time she will not repeat the same mistake.
