Past paramedic here. Maggots in a wound is a HELPFUL thing for emergencies. They keep the wound clean pretty much til you can get the victim to the hospital.
@@raelferguson5611 leeches do that, not maggots. Maggots are fly eggs that hatch in dark, dank, rotting disgustingness after a fly has landed on everything from cow dung to open rotting flesh. Leeches have medicinal value, maggots do not.
@@raelferguson5611 soooo, I’m wrong, sort of. They have to be maggots cultivated specifically for wound debasement, and monitored very closely to ensure they only eat necrotic tissue and don’t burrow under healthy tissue. What would be considered “street maggots” as opposed to “lab maggots” carry all sorts of diseases, per Google. So basically, don’t be scooping up any ol’ larvae and put them in your wound and think they are going to save your appendage, and don’t expect me to be happy when I unwrap your arm and maggots start dropping on the floor of my sterile ER. 🤢
Michelle - if u see this . Please get help, you are worth it. Things do get better. There is a better life after addiction. I have 9 years clean from heroin and crack. I have just graduated w my LPN and I have a wonderful job. Don’t give up.
@gaylelauren5691 You are so right, I went from being a heroin, crack and everything in between to 6yrs clean. I now have a great life and good career. Things do get better if you really want it. Congratulations on your 9yrs of sobriety
Addicts aren’t able to “work on putting a plan together” for getting clean….you either go to rehab or you don’t. She was saying in her last video that she was “workin on it, plannin to call the hospital to amputate that arm” but hasn’t. That’s addiction. It’s brutal.
Yeah, especially not on the street. Sounds like she doesn’t even have a phone. There are stands that pop up all over the city giving out free government phones to people on Medicaid and food stamps so hopefully she can get one of those. They’re smart phones too. But I know when I was on the streets I couldn’t even be bothered to get food stamps. I just ate out of dumpsters. The only thing that mattered was getting high.
@@monicaheartsgypsy7877 Yeah I can't imagine being a homeless addict, especially with no real family or friends. The odds are so incredibly stacked against you. She can do it though, and I hope she does. How are you doing now? You doing okay?
It's not even as simple as "you either go to rehab or you don't." I'm a substance use disorder counselor and I cannot even begin to describe how many clients have BEGGED me to get then into inpatient. There aren't any beds available, and it only get worse in the fall, winter, and spring.
I don’t mean to ridicule someone battling addiction, but working for many years with people like this you come to realize that just throwing resources at them doesn’t work. They have to really want to get clean. Drug addiction is taxing on our hospitals, taxpayers, and the entire system. I pray things turn around for this woman before it’s too late.
That looks like it needs to come off soon probably this is sad what addicts are signing up for they don't give a rats behind about anything in life not even themselves their states need to mandate them off the streets
Maggots actually help you they eat the dead tissue. I had this old uncle who fought way back in WWII and he used to tell how he was alive because of maggots after a gunshot wound. His buddies had to leave him for days until they could get back and his stomach wound was kept clean by maggots.
Dude. Are you really trying to get people to donate directly to her?? Your viewers money will just go towards her drug addiction and you know it. Why on earth would you suggest that??
So much better to send items she needs. Warm clothes, a blanket, shoes, hygiene products. I can't believe she still has that arm. She'll be SO much better without it.
She’s uses every excuse in the book to keep using. I have 254 days clean from a 10 year addiction from M and H. If her situation now isn’t enough to quit, she never will. She’s got about 7-8 months left. I’m not being cruel, I’m being honest. I hope she changes but
@Whiteboy305 Congratulations I know how hard it was to do that. I was given prescription opioids for headaches and back pain - and just 10 days of those pills took me more than three months to taper off them. You cannot just stop those chemicals in your system. Withdrawal is filled with the pain of resetting all of your autonomic systems. It is a great task . I can see why people do not want to go thru all of that only to know that once they get back on the streets they will be using again. Withdrawal is like a great investment in your future but only if you are able ro make the necessary changes in your lifestyle. Most people on the streets do not have that option.
Good for you! I agree. I know it may seem politically incorrect and controversial, but I do believe that this severity of addiction renders these people unable to make rational decisions in their own best interests, and there should be intervention. We intervene when an elderly person has dementia and can no longer function safely, so what really is the difference? I realize it's a gray area in terms of civil rights and ethics, but c'mon! Some say that they have a right to live the way they choose, the right to make poor and dangerous choices, but is this really living? True, they must make the decision to quit, but I don't think they can begin to do that while in this condition.
@@sharlottecourdey6894 with dementia you cannot put that disease in remission by deciding to do so like you can with addiction; you are 100% doomed. Ppl have the right to live how they choose, even if it looks miserable and fucked up from the perspective of some of us.
Think about it. She can't keep arm clean now. An amputation is a serious surgery... it requires a lot of follow up and attention. For a surgeon to say oh let's just operate is not the best thing for her. Anesthesia alone is dangerous for someone with her drug use. Post op pain meds are another issue. It's not a health care fault issue.
Her diet is the key. She needs meat and fruit and dairy. She needs eggs and fish. She probably eats chips and candy from the convenience store and an occasional treat from mcdonalds. That food won't heal your body it's poison. She's fighting a losing battle without quality food and clean place to rest and care for her wound. She's fucked.
@danielleburke87 she is septic from that arm. She refuses to get it amputated, that's her right, but it's frustrating to hear her spit lie after lie about the hospital.
@@nucleusambiguousyeah. I imagined that if we looked at all the care she has gotten for an injury she refused to seek care for until it was an abomination it tells a different story. She’s not going to be healthy until she gets serious about dealing with her addiction.
I'm an addic in recovery right now. I celebrate 5 years clean on December 19,2019 is when i got clean. My life has changed so much but I'm afraid to say. This lady doesn't seem ready to stop using. If your not ready your gonna end up right back out on the streets. I don't miss any of they chaos at all. She needs help and get that arm cut off before it kills her. That definitely needs surgery. Once you're ready honey you will know it. I live my life one day at a time. I hope you get better soon honey and i am so sorry i don't have funds to help you at this time.
She says what the hospital/doctors could’ve done for her but I want to know “what could she do to help her hand/health?”. I can’t imagine thinking it’s someone else responsibility to take care of me. Stop doing drugs! Seek treatment! Go to AA or/and NA meetings in person or online. ❤
It is heartbreaking to me also, but some of the most heartless and hateful comment I have ever seen in this thread . I hope these heartless people never have a parent, child or sibling in this condition.
I’m not a paramedic and it’s extremely heartbreaking to see her in so much pain mentally and physically,she seems like such a good person,it’s the drugs that changed her life
With her having that thriving infection in her body. I bet she can barely even think beyond her next what am I doing what am I doing? I need to go to the hospital. I bet you that's all that runs in our mind. When you are sick with infection. It is so hard to think and to move and to do. Someone needs to go over there wherever she is. And be like I'm going to help you make the appointments. I'm also going to make sure you make it to the surgery.. I have stage 4 cancer and I would do it if I could but I can't.. if there is a soul out there that has a little freedom. And can spend 3 weeks with that girl. You'll change her life. Everyone keeps on saying toughen up do this do that she can't think straight. Look at her hand.
Yes! My drug of choice was alcohol. I tried pot a couple times in high school in the late 1970's and it just wasn't enjoyable, so never was tempted to try anything more, a fortunate quirk of fate. Alcohol seemed safer, a common part of American life. I have 40 years (!) of sobriety, and everything good in my life--and there is sooo much good--derives from my decision to stop drinking. I do believe it is much harder for those addicted to narcotics to quit. For me it was simply this: I was in college and my friends were quitting drinking, or graduating and moving on to good jobs and marriage--i.e., moving on to adulthood. I got tired of feeling like a stunted juvenile delinquent.
Sounds like she’s putting the blame on a lot of people but herself it was your decision and still is your decision to continue to use which is why you’re in the situation that you are…
Respectfully, you don’t understand addiction, and unfortunately your lack of education on the issue only fuels misinformation and misunderstanding. Unfortunately, because of this, you are creating the idea that addiction is a choice and not a disease! As an addict who’s been sober for over 13 years now, when I listen to or read people talk about addiction as if it’s not a disease it’s heartbreaking! This woman has a very sick brain that doesn’t work like someone who is sober or someone whose brain is healthy. If you think that this woman “wants to get high” and be reckless you’re wrong! What she wants is to survive, but doesn’t have the capacity to do so alone. She’s homeless with an arm that needs to be amputated. She has no one to help her make appointments and do all the things needed in order to get proper care! No one would “choose” to live like this, no one, but she’s in a day by day survival mode just to stay alive! Let me put it this way, she’s just as ill as a cancer patient going through chemotherapy. Just like we wouldn’t expect a cancer patient to “help themselves” when they’re as sick as they are, we shouldn’t expect that out of a very sick young woman! I take my sobriety very seriously, and there were many people who helped me along the way. As a result I’ve been sober for over 13 years because of the compassion and understanding of addiction that thankfully I was surrounded by! You’re entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts! Please educate yourself before commenting about something you clearly don’t understand .
@Jessicavargas-ig1zm former addict first step is admitting she has a drug problem. I'll I hear is excuse after excuse. They probably thought she had drug seeking behavior
I know people people aren't going to like this, but she isn't being truthful about the hospital. She is voluntarily leaving . It doesn't matter what they give her to treat withdrawal. It isn't her street drug. She sadly isn't ready to get medical treatment.
I agree with you as well. Not taking an of her issue seriously. They would never make you leave with your arm like that. If she doesn't want her arm cut off she can just say no which is what i think her issue is
Oh no, they give you a run around until you’re sick and have to leave. Or if you have a ride there they release you. Or they refuse treatment if you have another specialist, go there, it’s all fine, it’s not an emergency haha. I’ve seen it countless times and experienced it myself. Our health care system is broken. But as long as you vote, the next guy will fix everything riiiiiight 🙄💸
The issue is, with the tranq thats around, they dont really know how to treat those wd symptoms. Methadone and subs aren't working like they would with just H or fent. It helps some with the fent part but doesnt help at all with the xylazine detox. Which is a whole other beast in itself. So people are very verrrry sick, even while being treated in the hospital. Plus the pain of the wounds on top of it. It gets to the point where its unbearable.
@@irenegonzalez8779if you don’t want to be apart of the solution just keep yourhateful comments to yourself. If they could get sober and help themselves I promise these people would. If you think this is the life she wants you’re ignorant
I have two siblings lost the last decade plus.. somewhere on the streets of AZ ... Thank you for treating her with dignity and respect. I pray someone tries to bring my siblings back to life. I did everything i could for years..I still have hope..they choose Life.❤
She can't even bother to change a bandage, of course the hospital isn't going to amputate. The post-operatory care for an amputation is intense, and she isn't willing to do the bare minimum. She isn't even thankful for what the hospital did for her, nor what the interviewer does for her (He asks for her sizes so he can help and the only thing she says is "ok". No "thank you," no "I appreciate it," nothing). She has an excuse for every solution; you can't help someone who is unwilling to change.
Kat you are a very uncompassionate b*tch have you ever been homeless addicted been raped multiple times and have a life threatening infection all going on at the same time. God have mercy on you because if you don't repent your gonna pay for being so evil towards this poor women!!! I'm retired from the military and have been thru some terrible things but nothing as bad as this but I have never heard anyone be so cruel and evil you need your a*s kicked witch!!!!
Absolutely 💯. If your that sick, you'd not complain about the time you wait in hospital. Sadly I think this girl likes playing the victim. I was always taught, always be thankful for anything you are given.
She has to get that arm amputated, there is no saving it. If she doesn’t, she’ll get sepsis and die; she’s right to be afraid. I don’t think she’s a reliable narrator about what’s going on with her medical care, but she probably needs to get the infection controlled and become stable before they can amputate. I suspect she leaves to go get high rather than the hospital discharging her. If she’s on tranq I don’t think there is a good withdrawal protocol for that. I’m sure they would give suboxone but you have to wait 24 hours and start withdrawal before you get it or it can precipitate a terrible Wd. High doses of bup might help, but she has to stay. Sad case, I hope she makes better choices in life.
Hey first video she had a little humility about her role in her circumstance. This is wild she has nothing but criticism for the healthcare she receives that she didn’t have to pay for and framing it like they left her for two days when she left to get high and come back again. Those are two separate visits. People are much more open to helping and understanding when there’s some acknowledgment of accountability and appreciation.
Good point. This is all true. However, when you are in the chains of addiction you don't see how selfish you are. I try and give people the benefit of doubt, it's hard but I also know first hand how hard life is when you're stuck in that cycle. She's in a hole that she needs to climb herself out of. All the help in the world won't mean a thing unless she wants it for her soul.
Are you actually joking, no 1st World country should leave their citizens in this state. I'm sorry but this is absolutely disgusting, hospitals in the Uk wouldn't dream of letting this girl leave without properly treating her arm and if it can be saved it would be otherwise it would have been amputated by now. No questions asked about money to pay for it because tax payers have a duty in my opinion to not allow people to suffer like this. I'm completely blown away by her condition
@@stella6051Hospitals are not prisons here in the US. A person can leave at any time. They would have helped her stabilize, infection control, amputate, aftercare and rehab if she’d stayed. She left to get high. They would give her meds to ease withdrawal but that’s not what she wanted. Here we believe that everybody can make their own choice, no matter how bad the choice is. It’s very sad that she won’t just make the leap and trust others, because she is very unlikely to make 31. But it’s her life to live.
She can get help it's a question of her having free will to leave when she needs to get high. And admittedly the wounds coming in with tranc are horrific and have caught some doctors by surprise. It's a learning curve right now.
“It’s harder to stay out here and use opposed to get clean and stay clean” Powerful bro. Thanks for opening the trench doors to see the life in the not so popular places. Speaking for myself. I’ve traveled thru that same parking lot they are standing in, chasing a blast. I’ve never ever gotten clean on the streets. Them handcuffs are what got me under control. And I never say I got arrested, I say I got rescued. Best thing that ever happened to me was to catch that prison bid. I ended every day in that joint. We all live the lives we choose to live every day. There’s so much help out there these days. Way more than when I was out there. But it’s a huge step that an addict can’t really see from that block to the detox/rehab. Let’s face it. The life of an addict is animalistic. I don’t have no divine answer as to how I been off the streets for over 20 years off that shit. It all boils down to will. I will say that If you get it in your head that there is better, that’s a seed that can bear fruit. But if I had one piece of advice out of it all, I would say the most important 4 letter word. PRAY. I did pray. And I knew God had better for me. Didn’t know how to get there, but when you submit your prayer and supplication to God of your understanding, your casting your cares into the supernatural, and that God honors your faith in Him, and will prove Himself to you. He will use a sequence of events that you have no idea he devised until you get to a certain point and realize He used that prison sentence for His good Purposes and our own good will. I’m gonna shut up now. I’m just saying. Try and find out for yourself. Kindest regards, 🫡
Well said, bro. And I feel you on the prison thing. Congratulations on getting clean and getting out of that life. The life of an addict is definitely animalistic. I believe in God as well. He definitely got me through some of my darkest times. 🙏
Me too I was strung out for the past 6 years pretty much caught a case in April and have been sober for 98 days I am so grateful for this case honestly I didn't know how to stop I go to court next Thursday god did for me what couldn't do for myself I've never been so happy to be arrested before much love from nashville
AMEN!!!!!!! I LOVE Your TESTIMONY! THANK YOU For LETTING People KNOW THAT GOD IS REAL💯❗AND HE DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!!!💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️😍
@@SKYZTHELIMIT514 congratulations on your sobriety, no matter what the catalyst was to get there! Addiction is hard but getting and STAYING sober is hard too, there’s no good answer. Bottom line is the addict has to choose their path but being surrounded by the drugs def won’t force you into sobriety. An addict becomes programmed to choose the drugs over all else at some point. No one wakes up one day and says I want to be an addict now, but once down that path it steals your will and everything good in your life one day at a time. I’ve been clean off opiates for over a decade…2 years off suboxone and I still miss things about being high to this day! But thankfully, I have lots of good in my life to know I could never go back. Wishing you continued health and happiness 😌
This poor young lady. Nobody deserves to be living like this or to be treated like this.❤ I pray that she gets the help that she needs. And if she reads this, it is possible to get clean you can do this.
I fully believe that Christy can get clean. What she really needs is stability and support so she won't just end up back on the streets and resorting to substances to self medicate to numb both physical and emotional pain. Amputation is a big deal, and she will need to have somewhere to call home (as in indoors, and available to her full time) so she can recover in a warm place with access to proper nutrition, running water and other necessities, and have people around her that care about her and can help her with wound care and other things. It really feels like a lot of her hesitation comes down to simply not having the stability she needs and not knowing where to go basically.
I wish she had a companion to stay with her. It's so scary to be in the hospital and go through withdrawls and a big, life changing surgery without anyone to support you. 😢 I hope she can at least get set up with a case worker to advocate for her in the hospital and set her up with rehab after.
It's tough. She's homeless with no real help and horrific infections. The drugs are worse than ever for sure. Odds are really stacked against her. She can do it, but she really has to want it.
I know it’s gross but the maggots were actually cleaning it out. Eating the infection. Hope she gets some help. You can do this I was in your same position and got my life together. Over a year clean with no slip ups. So true it’s more work to stay living that way. Maryland house is a great detox not far from where you are. I went there I highly recommend. If they are still there I’m not sure. Look into it please!!!
Unfortunately emergency rooms are not sanctuaries. They are places where you go to get stabilized from life threatening illnesses or traumas until you can get transferred to a higher level of care. We do not have the resources to care for the homeless, especially not when they leave against medical advice to go get high. We already have homeless folks coming in daily to get food/shelter/drugs/etc and it takes beds away from people who are sick and willing to get help. It’s extremely sad but it’s not how the system works. That does not make us neglectful - we do what we can with what we have in an already highly burdened healthcare system.
Dead serious btw - I WANT TO HELP YOU. You need to leave that area, get into a MAT program, have wound care with compassion, and know that this is not the end-all, be-all to your life; You can still make dreams and goals, live a wonderfully happy life without drugs. You have an amazing world around you beyond that substance. I would love to show you that.
Awwwe this is breaking my heart. I've been thinking about her ever since your last interview with her. Please continue to update us. Please tell her she is loved and appreciated 💜😢😢😢
This is just so so sad and terrible. She says there is larvae in there now? It's just going to hatch? I cannot believe it. I will do whatever I can to help her and you, Russell
Wow she's only 30 💔 I thought she was at least 60 💔🙏🏽 I'm a a recovering addict. My drugs of choice was meth, food, and alcohol. Clean now for 11 years.
Thank you for doing these videos. Obviously we need to be educated if we're going to help ourselves. Humanity is in rough shape. I imagine the place to begin is reverence and compassion for all beings
Harbor Hospital has many resources. When you arrive to any ER and you are not taken care of demand to see a patient advocate and a social worker. It is your right to do so.
I'm sober about 9 years. I was addicted to IV heroin and I got out RIGHT before fentynal started taking over the streets. This could have very easily have been me-- I'm actually one year older than her. I was homeless and hopeless. I felt like I was just digging a hole to die in. I promise things can change. I promise YOU can change. Don't give up.
I have empathy for anyone suffering like this. I always remember it's how you treat people. As long as she's a good person and treats others with respect she deserves respect. She needs help learning to love and respect and care for herself. I was a homeless drug addict as a teenager but I survived I'm 59. You can't help these people you can try to influence them to learn to love themselves. I did it so I know it's possible. I did it alone against all odds so even if you have some support you're better off than I ever was. This is a symptom of a sick society. Her condition isn't her fault it's the culture of our society that got her into trouble like so many other average normal people. This doesn't happen in a healthy society.
@@memyselfi2005 Look how many millions are suffering. It's insane. I know it's by design. Hopefully one day our society and our people can heal and recover. We need a better way to live.
@truescotsman4103 probably billions needlessly suffering. Every day I look around me and feel more and more that we live in a corporation masquerading as a country and I hate it. Real change and a different way of living needs to happen, but I'm afraid it won't be any time soon and all people will be able to do is try and save themselves. All of this is by design of course. If John Kennedy and Martin Luther King had not been assisnated, our world would be so different, and yet that's why they were not allowed to continue.
This poor woman prayers and love to you active addiction is complete suffering.. I really hope you get all the help and recovery. A massive hug Karen London uk
I work with the homeless population where I live and I've seen so many people lose their limbs over frostbite, cellulitis, MRSA, trench foot, etc. it's overwhelming
I’m in California and we have access to free clinics. They do ask for donation but with someone in this condition, I cannot image that she would get turned away! She desperately needs help. I hope she gets it. Recovery is such a long and tough road. Don’t give up, you’re worth it.
It's like something you see out of a horror movie. Absolutely crazy. She can kiss that arm goodbye. She can even kiss her life goodbye at this point. She obviously doesn't want to change so my empathy is wearing thin for her..
Well, empathy doesn’t have an on and off switch. I get what you are saying but these individuals needs consistent support, something that lacking for many addicts.
As an RN I know a lot of her story is not true. I understand that people leave the hospital AMA and tell these stories. I’ve heard it all. My heart breaks for her and I hope she gets help. I know hospital staff can be rude and uncaring at times, I’ve witnessed it and I don’t stand for it. I will always be a patient advocate, for everyone. I don’t know what the answer is for this girl. I know what should be done, but without her compliance to follow through, it looks grim. I appreciate this man that is helping. ❤
I'm sorry but I just can't feel sorry for someone that doesn't want to help themselves. You can get free rehab free medical free housing free food but she would rather be on the streets doing drugs and prostituting to get them than worry about her health. So NO I don't feel sorry for her!!!
I was discharged in withdrawls and I went back in and told them i was suicidal. I was homeless on fentynal at the time. The social worker came in and asked me what was going on, and i said i needed detox. He made some phone calls and had me on an ambulance a county north within a few hours. Her situation is worse, but there are cards to pull to get off the street, and mental health is definitely an option. But she has to want it. Ive been clean for over a year now. I still went back out and relapsed after that chance was not ready. Im blessed to have gotten my life together and I had to want it more than anything else.
I know that she has done this to herself, however, she is still someone’s child, sister, cousin, friend, granddaughter, maybe mother!! I hope she finds the help that she needs!! Praying for her!! ❤
Christy, ain’t no one coming to save you, JUST go to rehab and start working your way through what’s going to happen w/ your arm. Enough is ENOUGH, detox and rehab time!!!!
This is unbelievable I cannot believe drugs are doing this I have been addicted since 16years old, 65 now a d well over it so sorry for this poor person 😢
Oh honey I really hope you get the help you need. I am a recovering addict and I have 17 yrs clean and had to fight for my daughter because I was using the whole time I was pregnant. Lost her to cps. Got her back after 17 months, and that was the hardest thing I ever had to do. There were so many hoops to jump through, but I did it. I do hope accept from people because you still have lots of years ahead and children to enjoy. Wish you the best.
Christy, I commented on your last video. I’m so sorry for your situation. My heart goes out to you. The people at the hospital need to be better to these addicts. And unfortunately the tranq is awful. They don’t know that much with how to care for them. I’ve seen some horrible tranq wounds. The dealers are putting everything & anything in their bags. They’re addicted to poison ☠️. It’s heartbreaking 💔 I’m on your side Christy. And care for you. Thank you for the update. I appreciate what you’re doing out there. 🙏💜❤️
It's so sad to see that she would be willing to go back to drugs to "get well" rather than turning away from that horrible drug. When is enough enough? I hope and pray she gets better and sober.
This is manifestation of what America prides itself on - Personal freedoms. Where’s the freedom for those who don’t want to participate in paying for the consequences?
@@moirapettifr7127 She is handling it by doing what it allows her to do. Most people choose to be productive citizens while others chose otherwise. Then again how free is America? Most laws and regulations than any other country in the world, only 4% of world population but 20+% of incarcerations, highest percentage in the world of women with mental health issues and on SSRI, and it goes on and on. The freedom is an illusion. We have to 👀 outside the matrix.
I am homeless living in my car. I have lost almost all my teeth and have a huge growth inside my right side of my stomach and it can be felt from almost my belly bottom to around my hip to my back. I need help and had give up on life. People have put me down ans have treated me badly so why should i go on ? I am 45. The girl in this story has touched my heart i am a mom too and the state took them from me due to losing my home to a fire they were in school and i was at work the fire started from a bad stove and if i was hope i could of saved my home we lived in a big hitel suite with a kitchen and bedroom. Me and my daughter had the bedroom and one of my sons had the pull out couch and the other had a air mattress or cot and dcyf came and made me calll shelters and they were all full and they took my kids they didn't want them living in the hotel and i missed a doctor's apt for one of my sons but rescheduled it and i was lied to and they had the police at the hotel to help take my kids from me. I was a good mom my poor son was slamming his head against the wall saying don't take me away from my mommy and my twins ran to the parken lot to hid in the swamp behind the hotel. I went to court and fought for my children and they put my son in a grouo home where he got sexually molested and they split up my teins to different foster homes. I tryed ending my life. Living without my children is horrible. I lost my mom when i was 32 years old and my dad passed away a few weeks after my house fire. Then in court dcyf lied and then they put all 3 of my kids in the same foster home but this foster home brainwashed my children to the point they stopped going to visits and this hurt then the courts found that dcyf was in the wrong and my kids shouldn't of been taken from me and ordered reunification but the last 2 years dcyf didn't reunification and now my kids are older i may never see them again the foster home wants them. So why should i live. I cry everyday and when i do sleep i have nightmares that my kids never see me again and whwn i do see them they don't know me. I hate my life. Dcyf put me where i am today. I had a good life. I had a nice home and 2 cars and 3 children who never missed a day of school and i worked pt time and it all stopped. 😢 i hope this girl in the story gets help. I wish i was in better health i would go be by her side to help her get her hand cut off. She so much younger than me. I wish i could give her some friendship and i don't have any friends.
If you see this I could help you by calling around some places for you. I can’t help with rides or money since I have a baby and I can’t trust strangers, but I definitely have experience with getting into treatment with Medicaid. You probably need to get stable through detoxing or getting on maintenance drugs like methadone before having such a major surgery. Methadone sucks, but it saved my life and the lives of many people I know. Gaudenzia takes people on maintenance and from what I remember they offer long term treatment. They are kind of ghetto though with a lot of court ordered people. I hope you can get the help you need.
AS AN ER NURSE NO HOSPITAL LEFT YOU IN ANY WAITING ROOM FOR 2 DAYS IVE WORKED AT MAJOR TRAUMA CENTERS WHERE WE HAD 12+ HOUR WAITS AND SHE WOULD BE A USE THE LAST BED CASE WITH MAGGOTS!!!! STOP 🛑
You can’t help people like this. When you were giving her solid and relatable advice around 12:15 she cut you off and started talking about herself again.
She is killing her not just the arm, she gets up everyday and makes the decisions to go out and do drugs period. I would never see a person out there and talk down to them. What’s understood don’t need to be said.
I don't agree with that, this woman is at the point of dying.. there are lots of people with addiction who don't consume it every day and make better choices as much as possible
