Thats the kind of answer you come up a night later while staying awake in bed

I’m a retired medical assistant who worked in the lab in a hospital. When you have a heart attack there are traces of it in your blood. Your blood can tell us if you had it today or years before by the amount of traces left behind. So if she was lying the blood test will show the doctor she lied. And it puts the person at risk of missing the surgery and depending how many times this person did this in the past it puts them at risk of a psych eval lol.

Let's be honest, her appointment was more likely canceled d/t a no show/late. EMRs really tend to suck at talking to each other even within a facilities various services. The service provider likely wouldn't have seen much of any information about the E.R. visit for a week or more. That said, she likely would also be leaving the hospital and getting another "free" ride, for inappropriate use of emergency services when blood work for Troponins, CPK and Myoglobin cleared and no additional indicators chest pain were found. Really any number of things would happen that would be sort of punitive, but one thing is almost certainly for sure....she never made it to that appointment.

What I don't understand is why someone in such an upscale neighborhood is scamming 911 for rides when she could have gotten a limo or Uber XL and had a much more comfortable ride.

I'm a physician and I can confirm: 1. No anesthesiologist will put her under if she complained of chest pains half an hour prior. 2. She will have to undergo the full workup in the ER to rule out all life threatening causes of chest pains, and that takes a while. She can leave against medical advice, but has to sign all kinds of releases for that. Either way, it will take a while, and it will be on her records that the people waiting to do the procedure will see first thing when they admit her. 3. She will be reported to the patient safety department and they will take some sort of action. Occupying a bed she doesn't need, lying to medical personnel, losing her spot or arriving late are all safety incidents caused by the patient and action will be taken. If she holds an insurance policy she will be reported to the insurer as well. This may vary from place to place and policy to policy, but it's not going to fly. 4. If she's in the US, the cost of an ambulance is astronomical. In my country, she would be heavily fined and possibly charged with fraud.

When I first started working for Walmart I was a cart pusher. In the summer of 2020 in California where I live the peak heat was 115 Fahrenheit. I was all by myself with no help in shorts and a t-shirt working an 8 hour shift and constantly taking water breaks so I don't pass out. I do a cart run and a customer asked me if I was OK. He said that I looked extremely red and looked as I was going to pass out. I said I was fine and I was just going to grab a new bottle of water. He then grabbed my face and started feeling it. I was extremely confused and as I was going to ask what he was doing he, he said he was an EMT and I was 5 minutes from going to the hospital because of heat exhaustion. He grabbed some waters from the case he just bought and gave them to me. Escorted me to the break room and told my bosses what was happening. I got an extra 30min break that day and I see him at the store still occasionally and thank him for what he did. That man was freaking awesome!

At my work, we have a deal where if you get two hotdogs instead of 1, it is less than half price for the second one (Dairy Queen). Then you can specify what you want on each hotdog as toppings cost nothing extra and you pretty much get two different hot dogs for no extra price (do this with 2 chilli cheese dogs and just remove cheese/chili if you want either on one of the dogs). For blizzards, instead of buying 2 smalls, if they are the same flavor just ask for a large and a small blizzard cup on the side. You save like a dollar or 2 doing it this way and you get more ice cream. Honestly, Dairy Queen is a scam as the FTC doesn't even consider their "ice cream" as ice cream due to the lack of fat so they call it "low fat ice cream" instead. I hate it when people complain about the portions per dollar when there are better deals you can get if you are smarter or go to a grocery store. You want more ice cream a sprinkles than a large cone provides? Ask for a small blizzard with sprinkles instead of oreos (costs about the same and the difference between a small cone and large cone is like 1.50) and then ask for a large cone on the side (at most you will get charged like 0.45 for the cone). Just scoop the ice cream into a cone and vuala, a cheaper vanilla cone with more ice cream.

One day, my manager told me to pull the weeds around all the fences for the facility. the temperture that day was over 100F. I worked for about 30 minutes before I went into the snack store to get some water. Manager screamed at me, "WHY AREN'T YOU PULLING THE WEEDS!?!" I told him it was hot and I needed water. he said, "GET BACK OUT THERE, PULL EVERY SINGLE WEED, AND DO NOT COME BACK IN HERE UNTIL YOU ARE DONE!" Ok, no problem....of course 15 year old me didn't think this through, but I went out and pulled every weed. about 2 hours later, I staggered back in to the snack store, looked at the manager and barely got out the word "done" when I collapsed. When I regained consciousness, I was in an ambulance being treated for heat exhaustion. the manager was trying to be all caring and concerned, but the staff told the EMTs and MY GRANDMOTHER (who raised me) what he told me to do. To avoid a lawsuit, the city fired the manager, I got two weeks off paid and my hourly wage was doubled for the remainder of the summer LOL.

I've only called an ambulance once in my life, and I think it was an emergency. my mom fell down our basement stairs (she's in her early 50s, thank god, I don't wanna know what could've happened if she was older), and she was extremely disoriented and dizzy to the point she couldn't climb back up the stairs without my help. she didn't want to come with the EMTs to the hospital at first (she's a doctor herself, and she was so convinced she's fine she just went "no!! I have to work tomorrow!"), but we convinced her. it turned out to only be a concussion in the end, but it could have been a much more serious head injury! I would've driven her to the hospital myself, but here's the thing: - I was 17 at the time, driving age here is 18 - I didn't (and still don't) have a license - I was so shaky, I'd probably have crashed the car

One day in fall of 2019 I had felt off all day, and as the evening continued my stomach started hurting, and by 10pm started hurting so much I was having trouble breathing without pain. I called an ambulance. They took me to the ER. The ER gave me some painkillers and did a scan, Gallstones. They made me wait hours and then when I started feeling better they told me i'd be fine and sent me home. The second time it happened was less than a month later. I thought I know what this is. I'll just get my father to take me in. I was in the waiting room for 6 hours. I fell when I stood because of the hyperventilation from the pain. They did the same thing again. painkillers. This time they told me I'm fine without a scan and should just see a doctor about getting my gallbladder taken out. So when it started hurting worse than before I didn't hesitate. I called the flippin' ambulance. I wasn't going to pass out in the ER waiting room because they're a bunch of morons. (They also took back someone with a broken limb before INFANTS with high fevers while I was waiting there.. NO triage ability at all.) Of course when i got brought in this time was a whole other mess and yes there was an infection this time but that's unrelated to why I will now call ambulances for emergency level pain, even if I can get a ride over there. And why I hope that people that call ambulances for taxi services get in trouble for it.

Oh my God. So my father is a communications expert. He was a military officer and specialized in communications which eventually landed him an awesome job when he finally retired after twenty five years. Basically, my dad helped to set up my county’s 911 center and he did ALL sorts of cool things to help the various services. Anyway, one of the things that drove my father absolutely crazy was the stories from the EMTs about a specific town where ambulances were constantly being used as taxis. So in my county there aren’t many hospitals. A few but mostly emergencies and births kind of places. We mostly have outpatient clinics. Well, one town had a hospital that ended up converting into an old folks homes. Needless to say, they had no clinic so the people there had to go to any of the surrounding towns to get to a clinic. Now... this particular town is located between THREE other towns. You can literally walk from the center of this town into the next town between 30-45 minutes. We are talking drives that take minutes depending on the street lights. Teenagers without licenses walk between the towns all the time to go to different restaurants. This town had people routinely calling ambulances for “chest pain” so they could go to the hospitals. Some of the EMTs were extremely upset by this especially since the laws in my region state they have to take the person to the nearest hospital, which is much much further away than the nearest clinic.

That cart story reminded me of my gym class in my ninth grade. I believe during a specific semester we had a “field and track” course that involved running on the schools running track and running miles. The rule was that the teacher would briskly walk the outer lane and if she passed you, you lost a point (out of five) for the day. When summer came, we were still out there on the track. One particular day, it was about 95F and humid. We all asked the teacher if she was still going to make us run. She of course said yes. “You can either run or lose points and get a failing grade for the day.” Literally everyone walked and we still ended up overheating. Instead of agreeing it was too hot outside, the teacher ended class with a gloating “guess a lot of people are getting 0s and 1s today” with an infuriating smile. Everyone was upset, even other teachers and my strict parents

Fun fact: in my country we actually have "taxi ambulances". They are small cars meant to drive disabled, very sick or old ppl (that cant drive, a bus ride would be very long etc) and ppl where there are no buses to the hostpital/doctor BUT to use it you have to call the hospital days before and in emergency cases like broken legs there is a special number just for that purpose.

This is my job actually! We're a medical transport company usually dispatched by hospitals and our fleet is an ambulance, and ambulette, and an Impala. Most of my job personally is transferring patients with mental health concerns to a facility that can better treat them than the ER - but I've taken people home from the ER, transported people in wheelchairs, one stretcher patient. For emergencies we tell people to call 911 since we can't treat anyone. Still more pricey than getting a friend to take you or drive yourself, but definitely less so than a dang ambulance 😂

By this point, I knew all his 'ancient' friends and their specialties and would listen to all their stories of the new pups coming in to, 'whip these old farts into shape with the 'new way of doing things.' This never ended well for the new managers that knew nothing about anything. Over the years, I've put on some years and have had younger managers try to tell me how to do my job. That went as well for them as it did for those managers of my dads' friends. Never short-change experience and knowhow over your ego.

My grandfather worked in the garage of a mid sized city. He was a master mechanic and master welder. Every so often a repair job would come in that he would tell whoever was the manager at the time "We need to buy X tool to do this repair right." Usually the manager would refuse to order X tool, so grandpa would pay for it out of his own pocket. When it came time for him to retire, he packed up all those tools. His final manager came running up to him and said, "You can't take all those tools, we need them!" Grandpa said, "Then maybe all you guys should have thought of that when I told you we needed them. I bought these with my own money and have the receipts to prove it." Grandpa had the best equipped garage of any retired guy I knew.

When she arrives claiming she has chest pain, the surgery would be cancelled, and she will have huge hospital, doctor, and ambulance bills, and possibly a fine. Shoulda called for a more reasonably priced ride.

It is shocking to hear that story. I had to call the ambulance because I/did/ have chest pains. Turns out, I need my gallbladder removed because it is causing my severe pains.. It is stupid to do that because if you call the police to disturb them, you get arrested. Why would it be the same for any other emergency service? Stupid. You are taking those people who are on call to respond from someone else who could need them.

Good friend retired from the USAF (computers) and went to work for an aerospace giant. After being there for quite awhile, he asked for a raise. Nope. Never. We don't really need you. We can get a fresh graduate for peanuts. ETC. ETC.ETC. Problem was, the job required familiarity with running '90s operations on late '50s-early '60sUSAF/NASA computers and like Dave, he was the only one who kept the irreplaceable machines running: code was written on stone tablets in cursive. He was a unicorn. They didn't budge an inch. OK, with age and time, he retired again, figuring with the 2 pensions, life was good. Here comes a minority contractor smarter than the entire government and military. He hires my friend at 35% more than he had been making then "rents" him out as a consultant to the former employer (For a substantial markup). So the "brilliant" aerospace company winds up paying out a pension, plus his former salary, plus the 35% upgrade, plus the markup for the contractor, plus a premium because the contractor was a minority contractor. The contractor became mega-rich doing this in dozens of cases. Large corporations are SO clever; saved that $10 raise.

I was reminded by the story of Dave of a heartwarming story that I read a few years back. I live in a city with a long history of sawmills and the pulp and paper industry. In one of them, the old machinery suddenly ran into problems and all of the workers and maintenance were totally clueless, ending up digging contact info of old maintenance workers. They send a higher-up worker in a taxi to get the most experienced former maintenance worker onsite, hat in hand. Who happened to be a little old lady. ...yes, the machinery that went kaput was THAT OLD. I think she was in her 70s-80s or something. And this was in the middle of the night. She was a little baffled, but got up and hopped in the taxi. Onsite, she had laughed that all the younger men gathered around her in a semicircle as she told them how to fix the bugger. That little old lady was my hero that day ^^

I work in my cities hospital in BC Canada! If anyone comes to the hospital who needs an Ambulatory Care Procedure, Day Surgery, or Over Night Surgery with only 30 minutes to spare, they are looking at getting postponed! The only way they wouldn't is if the room their procedure/Surgery is in is so far behind that they are coming in on time. And that would ONLY be if the patient called ahead to say they were running late, and have a good reason! Not just being lazy! Our OR requires patients to be at the hospital 2 hours before their surgery. If the patient has tests that they didn't complete before their surgical date OR has other medical issues such as MS or Parkinsons, that may require extra care/help in preparing them for the OR, they will be asked to come 3 hours before their surgery time! There is a lot of things that are needed to be done before a surgery/procedure and if there isn't enough time to get them done, and it is the fault of the patient with no good reason such as coming from far away and hitting an accident or construction type reasons, the patient will be postponed! And depending on when there is more time, it could mean having to do all the pre-op tests done again! It's a pain in the arse!!! Also, if you come via ambulance and have any sort of medical issue currebtly going on, from a laceration to blood sugar issues to chest pain your procedure will be postponed 100%! Depending on what is going on, it could mean just waiting for another day to having to start from the beginning as stated above. You never want to play around with that sort of thing!!! If a patient doesn't have a safe ride to and from the hospital, they are unable to have surgery either! More so after the surgery as a responsible adult MUST take you home, and either stay with you or there has to be a responsible adult at home!! So if you do not have that, it can postpone your surgery as well! A patient has the ability to pre-book a medical stretcher service if they do need something like that to get to the hospital, but it has to be justified! So if they are able to take a cab, then that is what they need to do! There is quite a few things required for a surgery/procedure!!

Retired ED RN here. You are 100% right. A doctor will not perform a procedure if the patient is having chest pain. That’s a very expensive ambu ride to the hospital with paramedics, tests, oxygen, monitors, ECG, Iv’s, plus ED physician costs, etc. She should’ve called a cab! No wait. That makes too much sense.

In the first story: when I was studying medicine (which currently is postponed due to CoVID), one of the things that is made very clear is: an anesthesiologist will refuse to put someone under if heart or headissues have arrived, and these are NOT the ones to be dealt with in that appointment (for example, you have an appointment for a hip-replacement and you come in with severe headaches, they will not put you under, until evereything is in the clear again). You as doctor are also ethically and legally obligated to postpone and even reschedule if a severe medical intervention is causing an interruption, like a sudden onset of headaches or chest pains.

RN here. Most hospitals or surgery centers require you to arrive about 2 hours before surgery. However, once admitted to the ED (emergency department) she can expect to stay there for at least 2-3 hours as they run tests and blood work to determine the cause of the "chest pain". If she's admitted to the ED of the same hospital she has a procedure in (at least in the hospitals I've worked in) the staff can see her previous and future appointments and will notify the other departments of her admission so they can reschedule her procedure. So now, not only does she have a huge EMS transport bill, but also an ED admission bill, missed/rescheduled procedure, and likely a fine for misuse of emergency resources.

I am a nurse. Surgery would be canceled. Chest pain equals EKG and possibly a CT or MRI. No anastasiaologist would ever put someone out for a non cardiac procedure when they state they have chest pains.

12:25 - OP doesn't know what "uppity" means - it doesnt mean "upper class" or "high end" or "snooty" - uppity is used to describe somebody behaving above their station, usually racist people when saying someone of color doesn't "know their place" - they're being "uppity" and it disturbs me when terms like this aren't just used freely but used wrong as if to make the term okay.

I have NEVER heard it described that way. Uppity refers to someone who's very energetic, possibly happy go lucky. Did it ever occur to you that possibly people get annoyed with you for using the word the incorrect way?

@@JOBdOut I didn't actually come up with the idea that it meant something else. But it's very apparent you're unaware that words change meaning as they move around the world. Most I know in America refer to the meaning I gave for that word.

@@marko247 yes...I'm the arrogant one because apparently I I MY nation dictates the meaning of words, and only I can say if a word changes meaning as it moves around the world...yes. I think you need to read that dictionary, also. Because unlike upitty, the word arrogant has maintained its meaning throughout the migrations between old world, and new world. Same with ironic lol.

First story: Yeah, her procedure was cancelled as well as her being admitted to the hospital.

I'm pretty sure that (at least in Canada), forcing an employee to work for more than 5 days straight without a day off is *illegal.*

If only it were that way in the US. I've had to work up to 10 days in a row. Yes, I was miserable at the end. Our labor laws really need updating but too many politicians are in bed with corporations.

Early gang, wya!

"Do X or you're fired!" "OK, bye!" stories are never not funny.

Nurse here. You are completely right in the first case. If the patient is complaining of chest pain, the procedure would be cancelled or delayed unless it is a medical emergency.

Dude, NOT canceling the procedure exposes them to HUGE liability. It would (rightly) be considered massively negligent.

Smart guy, do us a favor and stop skipping the story! For the possible hundreds of thousands of people that are actually following the story as you're reading it off, you confuse the hell out of everybody when you skip over full sentences in the story and I'm probably not the only person that's getting aggravated with it! We would like to hear the story in its entirety. Just keep that in mind for future videos.

Same tbh.

Unless the chest pain was directly related to the procedure (ie, you're having surgery to correct the chest pain) they would cancel the procedure unless it was a minor procedure (such as tests like getting an MRI). Since she had a suitcase with her, she was probably going to have a major surgery.

I'm a retired RN with 20 years in the OR. If we had a procedure scheduled & the client complained of chest pain you can bet the procedure was canceled for the day.

Manager: tries to talk worker into coming back What I would have done: “Okay, let me speak to YOUR manager and we will see if we can come to terms.” Once that manager’s boss is involved: “I will come back if the manager is fired or resigns, with an official note he is not to be rehired here or any other location within your company or any companies you do business with.”
