My Amputation Story!
Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel has documented my journey adjusting to life with a visible disability as an amputee, and continues to be a haven to discuss physical and mental health!

Americans, you deserve better healthcare than this. Demand a proper medical system where profit isn't what the hospitals care about.

@leeartlee915 Год назад

I get why our society has become more careful with pain management… but the pendulum has swung WAY too far the other way. Doctors need to stop being so afraid that everyone is trying to “get high”. The actual research shows that the majority of people who request higher doses of pain management need it. And when their pain goes down, they are not addicts.

I had an emergency c-section. After surgery I was immediately taken off IV meds and forgotten about. I had to call staff in and beg them for medication. This wasn’t once but every single time. On day 2 they decided to only give me Advil. It took the nurse looking at me for 30 mins shaking and crying to finally give me something stronger. You are not alone.

I've experienced "being forgotten" while bedridden in a hospital and NO ONE should ever have to go through that....ever. I felt betrayed and guilty in my neediness and lost a lot of trust in the people caring for me. We move past that and regain our pride with the help of close friends and family. Huge respect for all you're going through.

Get a lawyer. The system can't be fixed until they literally pay for their mistakes.

@JS-dv9ji Год назад

Dude, you don't sound "victimy". If we don't talk about medical mistakes, nothing will ever change. It's literally their job to make sure this shit doesn't happen. Yes the system is overburdened and yada yada, but there's still a huge problem at the individual level with far too many healthcare workers. They don't understand pain nearly enough. They don't pay enough attention. Then something goes wrong and they mismanage and neglect complications. They need to be held accountable. Thank you for talking about it and I'm so sorry you went through this!!

As someone who deals with chronic pain on a daily basis, my heart absolutely goes out to you. The US Healthcare System is revolting. The old phrase “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch” is spot on in this particular industry. The fact we have to accept the punishment due to other’s addictions is unbelievable. Rather than making drs responsible for closely monitoring an individual taking pain meds, they’d rather just avoid using them. I truly feel like if those in power had to live a day in our shoes, this wouldn’t be the case.

As a nurse that used to work in a hospital, I’m so sorry that happened to you. I can’t imagine the suffering , both physically and emotionally you went through. Speedy healing❤❤

@tomstanziola1982 Год назад

I understand completely, Jo. I know from my own experiences with surgeries and hospitals just how totally f**ked up the health care system is. You're 100% right, Jo. Most of the nurses and other care workers are great. However, I've had problems very similar to yours, Jo. Mistakes get made, but, like you said, it's the system that's at fault. I'm so sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having, dear Jo, and the problems you had in the hospital. You go ahead and vent to us anytime you want or need to. It's ok. I'm praying for your complete recovery, Jo, and I'm personally sending you all the love I have for you!!! 🥰❤️🌹 You're beautiful and amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

A few years back, my daughter was carried into the ER in excruciating ab pain. The staff thought she was drug seeking. In the morning she was rushed into surgery as she was bleeding internally from a ruptured ovarian cyst. She almost died. Not to mention my own misdiagnosis told to go home and take a laxative. I had advanced colon cancer. Yup I know how bad the system is.

This is why patient advocates are so important. Patients are just ignored so often. They are not believed when they say they are in pain, they are forgotten- it’s awful. Having someone there to stay on the ass of the medical personnel can be so helpful.

@ima.ekenes Год назад

Being a vicim doesn’t necessarily mean you have victim mentality. That was so brutal, you have to give yourself space not only to heal the wounds but also the horrific trauma. You have a lot of survival mentality.

once my wife was in the hospital for a skin infection during chemo, she is allergic to most antibiotics so they keep her cause of special IV treatments. I visit her and realize for days they forgot her IV antibiotics. it fell off the computer and none of the nurses even tried to remember anything about patients. I threw a fit. being sure to be loud enough so every patient on the floor hear me advocating for all of them. how many other people are missing treatments? I wanted them all to ask that. II was just short of getting arrested police were there. I told the police and the dept head there to please arrest me, I want the news coverage. the system does suck.

@erikamyers8797 Год назад

I’m so sorry that happened. As an emergency healthcare provider (paramedic) I apologize for what happened to you. As a recent surgical patient that took 2+ hours postop to control my pain, I empathize with you. I also get where you’re coming from about allowing people to help and asking them to help. (I’m non-weight bearing on my right leg).

This sent me back to some of my worst experiences in the ER. Particularly being abandoned, screaming in pain, for hours on end, is something that's happened to me multiple times. Once when I came in with what turned out to be kidney stones and was placed in a room and promptly forgotten about. No nurses, no tests, no medicine, for five hours. By the time they got pain meds into me the stones had already almost entirely passed; somehow they were capable of hearing full volume screams and not popping in to see what the issue was. Then another time I was brought in by ambulance with chest pain and severe dizziness, and left in the waiting room strapped into one of those locked wheelchairs because I could not walk and they didn't want me falling out. I blacked out in the wheelchair; they never discovered me or checked on me. I woke up in the same wheelchair a few hours later, delirious, managed to get my restraints off, and wandered out into the parking lot, IV still in my arm. I walked right past the front desk and security to get out, but no one seemed to be concerned about a delirious patient, IV still in arm, wandering into traffic.

My goodness. It never stops amazing me how incredibly awful our medical system is.

@bishplease4363 Год назад

Yes, our system is broken. I was forgotten, in pain that was unbearable. Then I was released from rehab with zero pain meds. I love your videos but they also scare the shit out of me. I'm like you.... if it can go wrong medically, it will. I have several super rare medical conditions and now no leg. I feel your pain....literally. My prayers are with you.

@Nyquil5 Год назад

Pain management in the US is seriously screwed up. Been there, got the tee shirt... I suffer from peripheral neuropathy and the pain is a permanent part of me for the rest of my life. Everyone is so fearful, that those who truly need medication can't get it. I often think that if they could feel the pain I'm in, they would do anything to get relief. I'm so sorry you had to go through that nightmare.

@garycurry4600 Год назад

I ran a pain management practice many years ago. I’m so sorry for how you were treated. From what little I’ve heard you tell us, you had pretty much non existent pain management. Good pain management is absolutely necessary for quick healing, and increasing your quality of life while recovering. I hope you never EVER have to go through that again!
