I can't believe some of the comment here. No compassion for this man and his wife or his family. This can happen to any one, what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot!. She's a human being that deserves a chance to fight !!
@@sandraquintana182 she is doing ok. The recovery ha s been hard and long. She suffered the cardiac arrest and brain damage. She cries because she used to be a very active person. Unfortunately this situation is affecting my health too but our faith is big and I know God will heal. Thanks for asking. How are you doing?
@@arkvsi8142 when people have these kinds of serious brain injuries you often don’t live all that long afterwards, usually at most a few years. Our bodies aren’t meant to just lay around all day not moving and when there’s that much brain damage other systems can be affected like digestion, respiration, etc. So often the person ends up getting an infection or pneumonia or something and they die because they’re already in a medically fragile state.
@ batacumba that was kind of you the way you responded to @Arkvsi. Maybe others are facing similar situations and are looking for hope so they ask questions.
No, they are businesses. $300,000 a year for therapy which does not seem to be substantially benefiting the patient? Seems like a bad business decision.
@@EveryDooDarnDiddlyDay Yep. Unfortunately, resources are finite, while demands are not. Maybe the original poster thinks insurance companies are/should be not-for-profit concerns.
@Pat Gray Do you think insurance companies could stay in business if they just paid and paid and paid for whatever family members wanted, whether or not the patient was actually benefiting? What do you think would happen to YOUR premiums if that were the case? Perhaps you have insurance through a job, and pay only a small portion of the actual cost of your insurance. Do you think your employer will just pay an unlimited amount for your insurance? Or maybe you're clueless because you're are covered by Mummy and Dad? As for your silly belief that there's some supernatural being who gives a rat's ass about whether an insurance company provides a certain benefit--well, that's beyond moronic. If there WAS a "god" which interested itself in such things, wouldn't it be more efficient if it just cured the afflicted person? (Or, I don't know, maybe DIDN'T AFFLICT HER IN THE FIRST PLACE???????) You are an idiot.
@@plucas9324 As much as I hate to agree : / I don't think that therapy is helping one bit and ultimately money should be spent elsewhere on something that might help.
If you were this lady. Or this was your partner how would you feel. ???? Why are most people so self centred.??? EVERY HUMAN BEING needs to be treated with respect and dignity. No one knows what tomorrow shall bring each ot us. Learn to be loving caring and compassionate . Nothing is ever Hopeless. There is ALWAYS HOPE. Love to this lady and family.💗💗💗💗💗
In the developed world, I think this only happens in the USA. I know in UK, if you need therapy, you get therapy and it costs nothing as everyone pays into the NHS as a percentage of their earnings and it's not missed. This is what happens when greedy people mix profit with healthcare. Americans: vote out the politicians who back this cruel practice.
I don't know about the UK but I have heard from many sources that in Canada you can wait so long for a needed operation that you can die waiting. In the US, that doesn't happen. Also, from what I understand, the more socialised a system becomes, the more the system becomes a rationed one, where a group of people in the system decide who lives and who dies, who gets a certain treatment and who does not. In the US, medicine is becoming more socialised, but not in a way that is helping the patients. Good aspects of competition is being phased out, so now some doctors are starting to just not accept patients with Medicare (the insurance every elderly or disabled person has) because it doesn't pay enough and does not let the doctor treat the patient in the best interests of the patient. There are too many controls now. Also, now doctors are pressured to see patients for only a ridiculously small bit of time. The insurance company will not let a doctor see a patient for more than that amount of time even if the doctor does not charge the patient or the insurance more! I am no expert, but I don't know that any one system is more humane over another. They all seem corrupt in one way or another and all seem to have too many people attached that do not have the best interests of the people at heart.
Your not informed enough and telling the whole story of what you think is such wonderful healthcare in the UK. Please do research before you throw info out there. that you are not fully educated about. All things like FREE healthcare absolutely also come with a big downside.
@@kathleengagliardi7669 I’ve personally experienced healthcare in the UK and in Australia where I’ve lived for the last fifteen years. I’ve paid for treatment and I’ve had treatment for free. Please don’t presume. Also, read the first four words of your reply again and see if you can spot the irony: I doubt you will.
@@donnaknudson7296 Waiting lists are common but priority is applied to the most needy. People rarely die on waiting lists unless it’s for organ transplants.
Bless his heart! My ex husband Pedro Cesar Cuevas purposely caused my TBI after he denied me O2 during my son's delivery. I flatlined for 3:58. They unfortunately brought me back and I say unfortunately is because I lost friends and family during the process. I had no visitors. I was in recovery at Casa Colina in Pomona and due ro the distance NO ONE bothered to go
That’s horrific, how was he able to make that decision for you? That’s crazy, I can’t imagine why they’d let a young woman go without life saving measures because her husband said so. I’m so sorry that happened, I hope you’re doing much better now.
@batacumba Good afternoon I thankfully am, although memory wise, I'm not all there. I forget things that happened a couple of days ago and my past schooling. I was set to be a teacher, and because of this I wasn't able to
Insurance is gambling on failure and misery... And even if you win that game, and you experience failure and misery, the insurance companies will still try to weasel out of paying you. They're happy to take your money while warning you that bad things might happen. They're not so eager to pay you when something bad actually happens, though.
I am sure that is Dennise The anchor news lady. I used to watch eyewitness news everyday back in 2000 - 2003 when I was lived in Baltimore. She is not change at all.
You should elect a president who will give you free health care, I can't imagine what it is like I feel so sorry, here in Canada we don't have to worry about this sort of thing are healthcare would take care of it
Would your doctors continue to advocate for such intense therapy though after a year and a half with such little improvement? The only motion I saw in her entire body was her eyes. I'm not trying to be harsh here, but if 18 months of therapy have made no discernible difference, perhaps it is time to look at the potential improved quality of life can be achieved with additional intense physical therapy. It's possible Canada's system would've transferred her to basic care only 6 months in.
A president cannot give 'free' Healthcare. The fool we have now would have certainly done it. Also, please understand that 'free' doesn't mean free. People who work and pay taxes are the ones paying. The government has zero money...every penny is from taxpayers.
Lost, you husband the same way, traumatic experience, he suffered for 9 months in hospital, but I'm glad his suffering is over, can write a book but I'll end up killing myself. Never do I want to go through this again to painful.
This is heartbreaking, however realistically how much chance is there for any real worthwhile improvement? It has been over a year, and she looks pretty bad to me, if i was the partner i wouldn't want her to live like that! My partner and i have always said if either was left in more or less a vegetative state, do the kind thing and put us out of our misery! The woman he knew has gone, and unlikely coming, back time to face reality, however heartbreaking it must be, and the cost of the care is insane, he can't expect anyone to keep paying that each month, they have already paid out over a quarter of a million, with little to no improvement, you have to draw the line somewhere, sorry just my opinion!
i drank 24 Litres water in 24 hours , then i experienced symptoms like Lightheaded and dizziness . And i didnt got any treatment because i was alone at home . How would i know that i have suffered brain damage ?
I had a dramatic brain injury and my long time boyfriend didn't understand. Me and my son were hit by a drunk 🍺😜 driver and it left me with short term memory problems and broke his femor and I ask the doctor how would he handle it if it was his child because of the type of brake he had it would have left him with a short leg and my son was a runner. We had to go through a lot of healing and rehabilitation but he running and enjoying that aspect of his life.
Jyo & Zao my son and I were tboned by a drunk driver. I took 99 percent of the injurys. He got a concussion thank god. I had a TBI( did not have to have surgery, bleed resolved), was in a coma among a lot of other things. Bless you and your son.

Just before Covid lockdown, I suffered an unexpected blackout because I had hit my head. My brain was bleeding. While unconscious, I crashed into another car. I woke up in the hospital after a Craniotomy. I recovered about a year later. A HUGE challenge. You can get through this. It was shortly before my seventieth birthday. My book on my experience if you are interested: Brain Bleed in the Time of Covid: Lessons which, I Hope Will Help You by Prof Marcielle Brandler
Well it would've but Republicans had to make sure that it was ineffective by stripping it all of it's advantages. If Obamacare had passed in it's original language we wouldn't be worrying about this. I mean Republicans would be worrying their little heads off for having to pay a measly amount of their salaries so everyone including them can get the highest quality of care without having to sacrifice their living. But Republicans love to impose their version of dumb pride upon everyone else.
But y drive the bikes if u don’t know what the heck ur doing and she even had a bell met in which says a lot that she had no clue how to ride so so y would u like and sorry but the truth now look ur fighting for her care yet had u both realized she shouldn’t have been driving any vehicle without common knowledge of how to drive it period…!!!!
