Sent To Emergency Room After Alligator Hunt Gone Wrong 

Lol right?!

That's how i get my splinters out, Works every time. Not sure I'd be happy to do it with a bullet wound though.

@@PythonCowboy that's freaking crazy man... You literally got shot and there's obviously no exit wound.. he has literally millions and millions of dollars worth of medical equipment around at his disposal.. and he tells you to go home and see what happens and if you get a nasty infetion.. Jesus..

@Sergio I almost died of appendicitis. I went to 2 hospitals and they all misdiagnosed me. in the third hospital they had to cut me when I was already really rotten from inside. I almost had to wear a colonoscopy bag for my whole life because some doctors are too lazy to properly examine someone who is in clearly suffering.

Kinda like having to use a "bang stick," vs. firearm. (Translation: "Come back later when we can admit you," and make more money...) It's no wonder the US went from "number two, in healthcare," to "number forty" (and the most profitable, for the elites, invested) in a few decades. ER docs are often "newbies..." and increasingly also, "foreigners."

Unfortunately, medical schools are becoming more political and quality of care is circling the drains. I'm on an MD track. That's been my life's focus for my entire life...but more recently, I've been less sure because I don't like what I'm seeing. I care more about patients and quality care than I care about quantity. So it's less about "modern medicine" versus "antiquated methodologies" and more about early graduations, improper performance screening, and a system that is broken by big pharma and political interests in insurance companies.

@@echofoxtrot2.051 Stay focused on patient care. Advocate for your patient when necessary. Commit to life long learning and staying up to date. Remember who you are. Remember your worth. I was a solo practitioner for 38 years. I was probably my own worse boss, but the freedom to do what I want was good. The insurance hassle was the biggest thorn in my side. You have a choice to avoid corporate medicine. If I was 26 again, I would do it all over. Good luck when you go into the grinder(Residency). lol

Thank you for your comment Doctor. I'm glad to see that instead of justifying his actions, you said what we were thinking. Of course we regular people don't know what's considered wrong in the medical field. For all we know letting a wound get infected on purpose could be common practice in today's medicine. So thank you for speaking out. I'm personally grateful for what you do. Thank you! Please keep helping people with your gifts of healing. You can still help lots of people even if you are retired. God bless you Doctor!

Lool guy gets freaking shot and he tells him to let the gunshot hole get infected and come back Loooopp0ppl!!!

Why did they take him to a doctor. He should have seen a vet.

Like any job, but you’re right… time for a vacation!

Doc didn’t like that you were killing gators and didn’t want to help you.

Poor excuse for not doing his damn job

That doctor must be a millenial . You said you were in pain , right ?

One for the gator. Gotcha.

Yeah, no kidding especially when you are paying for the services they need to listen to their patients

Malpractice is more common than people realize.... Unfortunately.

Phillip Barnhouse, you would be surprised. There are a few ER Doctors out there just doing their required time in an ER before moving on to different medical practices. I was a California Highway Patrolman for 24 years. Going to the ER was a regular part of the job. I was also trained as an EMT. Maybe some of the doctors make poor decisions because they are swamped, but some of them just don't care.

Seems like he didn't have insurance and the doctor was no longer interested in taking up anymore of his time....sad but true

It's doctors like that that make medmal lawyers salivate.

Who cares leave em alone

@@thickgirlsneedlove2190 we care, about your poor grammar! Do better!

Just a routine gsw, let’s see if sepsis develops

Doctors, lawyers, attorneys, politicians. They all "practice ". And these are people we count on and pay big bucks to. Yeah, okay. They are years educated but they're still practicing and that's not very comforting. 😕

At a minimum. And what’s that cost and how much space they take on the boat. These clowns.

A Dr of mine told me once that there aren’t as many students going into the field of medicine, not going into Dr fields and there a lot of different kinds of Dr’s. Cuz of how expensive it is, how many years spent in college and then residency, and how it’s not all it’s cracked out to be money wise for many fields. Because of this the students who are in college/that field get passes left and right, will pass them with a D average, will allow multiple mess ups, multiple write ups, chance after chance. Yet when it comes to nurses/nursing school, it’s the opposite pretty much, it’s super hard to pass, you don’t get second chances, you’re flagged for the tiniest of things, don’t get passes like Dr students do, etc. He said, today your better off being seen by the nurse than the Dr, because many times the nurse knows more, she had to work twice as hard, she put in her best while that Dr was mediocre at best. And that there are many, many Dr’s he would not let touch him or receive advice from. He said “would you want a D average fuck up operating on you?” Ummm no sir, no I would not. Lol.

@@ninewectawski1935 The only rigorous thing about med school is the torturous and unnecessary sleep denial they put you through in the 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. Literally, there's no point to doing that other than to make the student, and likely their patients, suffer. I truly don't understand that. I appreciate academic and clinical rigor, but to push people into dangerous levels of sleep deprivation? Kind of contradicts the Hippocratic Oath of "do no harm". We tell patients that proper sleep is crucial to a plethora of metabolic and physiological processes...and yet we don't heed our own words and then wonder why mistakes and burnout happen. Stupid is, as stupid does.

@@echofoxtrot2.051 I agree 100% Also, Dr’s talk to you about your weight, whether it’s being underweight or overweight, talk to you about smoking, how much you drink, your diet, etc. Yet so many Dr’s and Nurses are not in good health. They smoke, they drink in excess, dabble in night life recreational usage, have a horrible diet, are overweight, don’t exercise, etc. I have 2 different Dr’s, one is in a Dr’s office and the other is at our main hospital. 85% of all of the workers at both places the receptionists, nurses and Dr’s are overweight, smoke, and so on. And they are all over worked. The Dr’s are spread so thin, and their made to take on so many patients that they don’t have time to evaluate you or go over multiple issues to your having to break up these things and make multiple visits, n seeing a Dr isn’t cheap, so then it’s leaving patients/people not getting in to really see what’s going on with their body that leads to untreated issues and even death. I was talking with my Dr about wrist cuz I golf n it was giving me issues, we started chatting about golf and how much he enjoys it but never gets the time to go, even though he’s been a Dr for 23 plus years, in his late 50’s, n should be out enjoying life, yet he’s always in the office, and does charity work at a non profit clinic. I told him ya know so n so golf course does senior men’s league on this day at this time, if you don’t make the time now you will regret it later on when you no longer can play. About a week in a half later I got a call from his nurse to reschedule me at a different day and time cuz he changed his schedule to take Wednesday off. I chuckled and said “golf” and she replied yes how’d you know. It actually made me feel good inside. Everyone deserves time to themselves to enjoy the little things, especially in a job/career where your whole career is based off taking care of others. You have to take time for yourself or you will get burned out, that goes for any job/career, even parenthood.

Agreed!

At the very least this shpuld be a real eye opener for the doctor. When i was in high school. someone had a car accident, the hospital discharged her and she died the next morning of internal bleeding.

You'd be surprised how many terrible doctors are out there. The government forcing massive worker shortages has really compounded many decades-long issues. The physicians left are nearly all burned out or so new that their patients probably will have more assurance through WebMD self-diagnostics. I work in healthcare. Stay out of the hospital, if you can. COVID-19 is probably the least of your worries in hospitals these days. I know that's controversial to say, but I'm not interested in politics and I disagree with the insidious infusion of political interests in medicine.

ER Drs are usually newbies (Interns) putting in required 36 hr shifts. Its like Medical Bootcamp. Writing a letter, while it sounds good in theory, wont make much difference.

This is all too common in the medical system in the USA.

These doctors don’t know everything, sometimes gotta trust yo gut!

There is no helping Florida. Just cut it away and push until it's part of Cuba.

How bout a basic cowboy vest there slim tough guy. My goodness.

Appreciate it!!

He is a lazy jerk ? No ! He is just not qualified to work in the medical field ! Not even a nurse !

I agree that you boys in Florida are a different breed. Brainless.

Florida girls are pretty tough too!!!

I always don't want to get injured pretty much all the time. Ya, there's definitely no scenario where I do want to get injured.

Hi from Melbourne Australia, my mind boggles about your health care. When in an emergency I can go to a public hospital and get treated for FREE. Had 2 lots of surgery about 2 1/2 years ago only thing I paid for was pain killers and antibiotics that I had to take once I was home. And that was about $30 odd dollars. Glad to hear you’re ok.

@@clairewright8153 Many of us are screaming for a new health care system, but the rich are very stingy and they are afraid they will loose out on more money if we go to a socialized medicine. It sure is not the middle class or the poor class whining about not wanting it. It is the upper class, especially the ones who make their money off from the current system, and trust me some of these folks should not be paid at all because they are shite for medical help! I have met far too many incompetent so called doctors. Many of those doctors would not even be able to treat my dog, that's how poorly I think of them! I believe I would be better off having a vet treat me, maybe I'd get some real answers and good treatment!

@@roseyannette2030 we see reports of the cost of medication it’s criminal what they charge. No wonder people go to Mexico and Canada. Sadly it’s about how much money companies can make and not about health.

@@clairewright8153 I won't bore you with my health problems. I will tell you I must take several meds each day to keep my health in check. I KNOW how expensive it is because I pay for them each month, I have health care insurance, but it's not the best because only the well to do can afford the best. I have to make due with mine. There have been newer meds that would help me more and better, but I can't afford the co pay on them. Most meds that are not generic are expensive, because they re newer and the big pharma wants to get their money before the time is up and the med becomes generic. I don't totally understand how all that works, I know just enough to be pissed off at the rip off of big pharma and big insurance too. Plus many greedy doctors who are way overpaid for what they don't do. nuff said, it (health care)sucks here if you are not among the rich.

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!!

Mike, two words- Health Insurance.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, I bet I know who he is, I bet I fired him as my doctor once.

Wow, that’s crazy! Dang these doctors

such a shame, but I have to say this kind of stuff happens far more often than it should. yes, doctors are human, not perfect. HOWEVER, they should be a little less imperfect and a little more time spent with their head in the game might actually help. Bottom line, it's the ones in charge who need to get paid less and should do more. It is they where are messing up the system by thinking it's a cash cow. It IS a cash cow, but that, too, needs to change and SOON!

Not sure he's anything i'd call ok.

I would have to have talked to a cop if it was, believe it was recorded as an animal attack

I wonder if a 6-8" domed shield above the firing mechanism would work? Some type of see through armored glass?

I always regret not going into the military like my father said I would! Definitely would be nice having that healthcare but we always figure it out somehow

And the iguanas are native to central/south America, the largest orange ones are just dominate males

@@PythonCowboy Thanks a lot for responding Mike. 🙏
