After much pleading, they let me stay in a room in for hospital visitors for 2 days. I ended up going back there later for a hip replacement and they raced to get me out of there, even though my leg had become infected. I spent 3 weeks in a great rehab facility, and Thank God for them, they were lifesavers.

I hope that in addition to filming the elderly woman, the TV crew provided temporary help, and got her emergency help immediately!!

I’m a retired RN and this is heartbreaking. I don’t care what excuses the hospitals give. They dumped a sick old lady in a soiled gown on the sidewalk in cold weather with just a thin hospital blanket, and they didn’t even cover her properly. This is evil. None of us know what the situation will be at the end of our life. If it happened to these people it could happen to us too.

As an EMT I was doing a non emergency transport where a patient was being discharged out of a hospital and the destination to drop them off wasn't an address. All it said was red van and the name of the street it was on. This man was in his 80's and could barely stand let alone walk. We asked if he could be sent to a facility and due to lack of insurance there was nowhere for him to go and that we had to bring him there. We drove to this red van and it wasn't even a running vehicle. It was junk in someones yard. We contacted a shelter ourselves and filed a report with the state. Not sure what was done about it but I'll never forget how gut wrenching and heart breaking that situation was. Humanity deserves so much more. There should be more programs for the uninsured and homeless instead of just dumping them like garbage to get them out of the way. Its inhumane

A friend was homeless. He had a heart defect. He was in Dallas,Tx. He was a vet. He was having heart pains so he went to the VA hospital in Dallas. They knew he was homeless. They told him that he was just looking for food and a warm bed. They demanded that he leave. They were rude and condescending. They set him an appointment later that week. He dropped dead on the street just a few days later. If they would have listened to him and checked it out, he would probably still be alive today. VA sucks.

They also don't care if your a woman and some guy just beat the hell out of you as long as he wasn't strangling you or you didn't die. What's worse is some of these nurses were women you think they would have stepped up but if there's men controling the hospital sometimes they can't they have to consider the suspects reputation before your safety I really do hope they start holding some of these hospitals accountable because they hire the wrong people that have probably never been attacked before so of course there not going to care if someone gives you a concussion because it happened to you and not them.

They do nothing useful, at least not for Canadians in Eastern Canada. They teach them things that they never get over. Then have to fight veteran affairs for what's rightfully theirs. So wrong. I've dated a wonderful man but the effects of what he saw and went through he needed isolation. My friend tells me things when he's drinking which is a lot because he's not able to cope with what he's reliving in his head. It's sad. Our governments need a rehaul of the laws and looking after the soldiers the elderly and single mothers and fathers who didn't expect to be raising little humans alone.

I am a retired RN. To say that I am shocked by this atrocity is an understatement. The CEO of that hospital, and all other hospital employees involved, need to face criminal charges. Paying out millions of dollars in judgments is, sadly, changing nothing. Criminal charges against all involved is necessary. If this does not happen, this will never end.

It's not at all shocking. This has been happening a long time... especially to people that don't have insurance to cover things, or people that they can't find secondary facilities for. I'm 35 and able to take care of myself, I just happen to need 4 weeks of IV vanco and meropenom. I've been clean for 3 years, I'm a compliant MAT patient and I still almost had to let them take my PICC line out and go home to die of sepsis essentially because there were no facilities that are willing to deal with MAT or the people that take it. Fortunately, I have a physician for a mother who knows my rights and lit up everyone who would answer a phone. Now, I'm otherwise healthy with a home to go to and and family to help me and they attempted to essentially abandon me and let me die at home...imagine that situation for someone whose mental health isn't being treated that's got nowhere to go, no idea what is and isn't allowed to happen to them, lacks the ability to stand up for themselves or even a phone to call a patient advocate or ombudsman, and has no family to fight. You shouldn't be shocked. Homeless people have been persona non grata since the beginning of our country, it's not a new concept and the healthcare system here has been corrupt and discriminatory since before I was born, before my mom became a doctor, so definitely while you were working in it 😒

If it did those involved would be charged immediately. All that money wasted to kill foreigners in foreign countries but no effort made to look after each other. A nation without propper priorities will crumble.

pretty similar to strong hospital in rochester, ny. They started kidnapping people into the mental health ward out of the ER because the ER "docs" didn't want to deal with them. I spent 4-6 hours getting my partner out of a 72hour psych hold when she went in to the ED for a finger she injured at work. The charge nurse in that ward admitted to me that the Emergency Department was making a habit of it. It's disgusting how far the hospitals have fallen during/after the pandemic. It really shows how fragile our healthcare system is.

I took an elderly lady for a procedure and they physically had to make her leave afterwards. She just wanted to lay up like it was a motel.

Our country can’t afford proper healthcare and housing for our poor and elderly. But we can certainly support foreign countries.

And that was a CHARITY hospital (allegedly, no charity being shown to the ill though) yet her ownly crime was to have been born with a medical condition needing diagnosis and treatment. Which they couldn't be bothered to do. The US is a cruel country with NO CONCERN AT ALL for anyone unable to make money to keep the overlords in their lives of luxury and able to buy new luxury boats and luxury holiday houses overseas.

What happens when they have no legal duty to allow a person to live their free without payment? They cannot let every single patient stay for eternity, because they have nowhere else to go. Imagine if a person that you do not have responsibility for came into your house and refused to leave, because he didn't have a home to go to... and then imagine that's 100 people. We do not have socialized healthcare in this country for a reason... because it's FAR FAR WORSE that what we have here. In the end though, as terrible as it is, we cannot FORCE hospitals to keep patients for any longer than they are needed to remain there. We already FORCE them to take patients who cannot pay while they are in a serious condition... but we cannot also Force them to keep them indefinitely. It would immediately crash the entire health system and then we'd end up like all the other socialist crap holes that have entirely destroyed their own countries and healthcare systems. The healthcare system is not and Should Not be responsible for housing people, especially without any payment and especially if the people don't need to be there, but will take up valuable space for people that do need to be there.

I finally called a family member to come get me as I was so weak, I couldn't walk on my own. I treated myself and it took me several weeks to start feeling some better. When you are having breathing difficulties it is scary, more so when the medical staff act like they don't care. To top it all off, I was sent a bill for the ER visit!

They need the bed for someone who is in a Coma, heart attack, stroke...etc. Trying to turn a hospital into a homeless shelter is not the answer. People, please no more protesting. Actually doing something such as opening up your home is the better solution. I lived in a city up in Washington state that had a charity, which was available to the hospitals, they would get a taxi or bus voucher and a 1 week hotel/motel voucher. These patient's were not sick enough to be in the hospital, (One night at the hospital was extremely expensive compared to a night at a hotel). They had social workers and volunteers/churches that would take over at the hotel side to try to get them housed. Not sure how well this worked, because it was based on charity and volunteers/churches. Most people do not go to churches anymore and no one volunteers like they used to.

I've worked in nursing for 12 years and the one thing I do know... The elderly are treated like sh!t!! They leave them in hallways for hours without even checking on them at all! This story is horrific! The hospital should be held accountable in the courts and start pulling their licences!!

​@@peterlang777A hospital's job is to stabilize the patient, they are NOT for long-term care, and that's what these patients need.

It's pretty sad when we don't take care of our elders

Years ago, I was passing a kidney stone and drove myself to the ER. When I got out of my car , I collapsed in the parking lot. Several hospital staff literally walked around me to get to the door of the ER. I lay on the pavement in absolute agony till a man came along and helped me get to the front desk - he was not a staff member, just a guy who was visiting someone.

I have friends working in US hospitals: They are invaded by drunk / druggy bums who pretend to collapse in the front door to get a free bed and meal, while insulting, assaulting or spitting on nurses and doctors. The moment they are discharged, they collapse in front of the hospital entrance to try to get another round for free (one night costs taxpayers around 3000 USD)

​@@I_love_all_the_animalsThank you for praying for these ppl in very harsh situations. God is SO SO GOOD! Have you thought of any ideas on how you could serve them? Or what the hospital should do? Hospitals dont have the space to house ppl once theyve treated them. Im guessing Matthew needs long-term 24/7 care. Its curious that not ONE aquaintance/friend/fam member will give so much as a blanket & a corner of a room til a rm. Sounds like alot of burned bridges to me. & it'd better than the sidewalk & only be til a rm in a state-paid nursing hm is avail. Id love to know what David McArthur (wrote the letter) was bursting to tell us that he cant share bc of hippa laws (which Im grateful for discretion) Obviously, he DID stay with his mom btwn the time they discharged him & the time they met the news crew back at the mission & they Looked like they both managed fairly well enough. And then, Im guessing, after the interview, he stayed with her til she passed. So Idky they were so mad at the hospital for not housing him, or the mission for not providing healthcare. The hmlss woman who reported COPD... mmm...If her COPD flared up enough to prompt an ER visit, she'd have bn visibly grasping for any bit of breath she could get. She wasnt even KINDA struggling. Espcly all that time that had passed, and the walking, etc., she wouldn't have even bn able to stand up, let alone chit chat if she hadnt bn treated. And if it was diabetic shock she didnt get treated for...same thing. shed have bn on the ground sweating PROFUSELY. The lady in the hospital gown...they have to escort them off the property once theyre treated. I guess shes entitled to sleep on city sidewalks, but Again...hospitals arent hmlss shelters. Its all hospitals can do to do what THEY'RE set up to do. As far as the social worker goes: That wasnt necc'rly her fault. She couldve bn brand new that day for all we know. We dont have hardly ANY info & what we THINK we know is ONE side with ZERO proof. Im told that's Kentucky? Maybe the hospital staff who alerted the news crew should take these ppl home with them. Then they wont be hmlss. .

We're failing as a society. Our elderly, veterans, our sick, and children...anyone who's vulnerable is being treated like garbage. People who are addicted, or mentally ill get kicked to the curb. People say, "why don't they get help? Why won't they get treatment?" When they try to they get put on the bottom of a long waiting list. It's as if they want to *discourage* them. We're failing at every turn. 😔

You share the same perspective, like really ? 2023? Why Is everything and everyone categorised as a"problem" or "issue" Surely that doesn't depreciate ones value as a living , breathing soul, if this is humanity, I dread to imagine the world 1-2 generations from now. Utterly tragic and really heartbreaking. I hope those who found this really emotive , can come together to create something that will work going forward. Like for real, how many empty homes, apartments even hotel rooms , each and every night . Where is the charity and "movement" behind this ? Meghan , Harry? This is where there must be help, real palpable and prolonged help, the kind that ought to already be established to ensure those most at risk are not only "seen" but are "caught" and given a hand up not a hand out , arming them with real life skills, that can equip them through the hardships and to the other side where there is light, there is possibilities aplenty! And yet , instead of thriving and Living , too many folks are merely existing. that's not okay! For too long the unacceptable has become the accepted. There ough to be a health and social care reform that really does look at this and come up with an alternative plan, not every person will fit the set mould and it's tragic to me that it seems all is so quickly , too quickly (!) giving in and giving up. Where is the light in an otherwise darkened life? Where is the humanity and hope ?
