My name is spelt Ka r El. 42 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.080 Medical mistakes, by some accounts, are the third largest killer 43 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.240 in the United States. Even if you don't go with 44 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.120 those studies, If you go with a very conservative study, 45 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.719 they still kill one hundred thousand people a year, or 46 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.759 three times three times more than guns, three times more 47 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.439 than auto accidents. I learned this firsthand on this day, 48 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:23.000 May twenty first. In two thousand and one, on May twentieth, 49 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.199 Andrew Howard, the Late Andrew Howard, and myself had been 50 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.639 out at Gay Pride Festival in Long Beach, which back 51 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.280 then was fun. I hear this year it was a 52 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.919 disaster and everything was fine. I was a little too 53 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.759 drunk the day before, so I was on drinking detention. 54 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.479 Andrew was not. We had seen Dame Edna earlier that 55 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.719 day at the teeny tiny shoe of a theater. Oh, TikTok, 56 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.240 you're not getting any audio.

Sorry about that, TikTok. Oh, 62 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.199 Well we'll learn anyway. So May twentieth we saw day 63 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.639 Dna went through Krispy Kreme. Andrew was all boof, boof, 64 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.800 and we had a great day. We went home. He 65 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.759 cooked shrimp scampy at two in the morning in just 66 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.519 an apron nothing on underneath. We danced to Abba Chicken 67 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.439 Teak Chicka, Teita Da Da Da Da, danced around the 68 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.720 living room. Now, I thought I was getting laid that night, 69 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.720 And when he didn't come right to bed, I got 70 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.600 a little miffed because he was drunk and I wasn't, 71 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.600 and you know how that is. And I went to bed. 72 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.920 At four o'clock in the morning, Andrew woke me up 73 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.040 and he had been vomiting, and he said, I'm having 74 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.120 a heart attack. And Andrew was thirty four and in 75 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.879 fabulous health outside of having HIV. He was on a 76 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.399 drug study for the proteace inhibitors for Quicksiville it would 77 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.639 become Kricksavan, but at that point we had hadn't heard 78 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.920 of cardiac side effects. So he woke me up and said, 79 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.199 I'm having a heart attack. Now, I of course yelled 80 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.279 at him and said, no, you're not having a heart attack, 81 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.279 You're just drunk. And he said, no, Chuck, I'm having 82 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.279 a heart attack. So my friend Larry Flick was there 83 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.639 at the house with us for Pride weekend. I got up. 84 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.639 I said, well, then we're going to the hospital. I 85 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.079 want me to call nine one one. He said no, 86 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.519 let's just leave. So we go and I said goodbye 87 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.199 to Larry because he had an early flight. We go, 88 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.879 get in the car. We're driving and I'm driving. There's 89 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.279 Saint Mary's Hospital. I'm all, let's go there. He goes, no, 90 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.360 this is major. We need to go to the big hospital. 91 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.839 Let's go to Memorial. We go to Long Beach Memorial. 92 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.480 Andrew walks in and he has a seizure. I had 93 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.639 never seen a grandma seizure before. He had never had 94 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.680 one before. So he falls to the ground, convulsing and 95 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.279 having a seizure. The nurses behave very laxa daisily, acting 96 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.560 like it's really nothing. No alerts, no nothing. They just 97 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.879 call for a gurney. They get him on the gurney. 98 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.879 They bring him to a room and I'm telling them 99 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.279 he's telling me he's having a heart attack, and they're like, well, well, 100 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.680 you know, we're gonna you got to give us a history. 101 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.759 So they kept insisting that he was doing drugs. He 102 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.519 was not, except alcohol and the aids drugs, but they insisted. 103 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.680 They're like, well, he had to have done something, maybe 104 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.199 when he was away from you, and I laughed. I said, 105 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.720 that man hasn't been away from me in eleven years. 106 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:20.600 But I knew something was wrong. They weren't taking this seriously. 107 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.839 I would later confirm that they were treating us like 108 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:29.120 two drugged out gays on Gay Pride weekend. That prejudice 109 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.800 was already in play, and that can happen to you 110 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.839 when you go to the er. They can be prejudiced 111 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.879 if you're a woman, if you're black, if you're poor. 112 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.439 So he gets to the er, he has a seizure. 113 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.240 I immediately start trying to call people because I feel 114 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.240 like something's not going right here. I start calling people, 115 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.800 David Hall, Candy and Scott. I start calling everybody. I 116 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.399 need help. We need to get him out of here. 117 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.319 We need to get him to a major medical center. 118 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.560 Something's going going on in that timeframe. They did an 119 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.480 EKG which clearly said abnormal. Uh, but you know pretty 120 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.800 much nothing. He's crying out in pain. They haven't given 121 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.160 him any pain meds. They haven't given him an aspirin. 122 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.959 They've given him nothing. I go tell him, you know 123 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.399 that I'm trying to get him out of there. And 124 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.560 get him something like to cedars, and he, of course says, 125 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.000 if you're going to be dramatic, go wait in the 126 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.879 lobby because I was crying, you know, telling him I 127 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:32.879 love him and all of that. So then after over 128 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.960 an hour of him being there, they take him to 129 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.960 the scanner and I'm like, what are you scanning his heart? 130 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.559 And they said, no, his head, And I said, but 131 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.799 he says, he's having a heart attack. Well we think 132 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.840 it's the seizure. And I'm like, his EKG is abnormal, 133 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.000 and they're dismissing me. It's five in the morning. Now 134 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.080 they're changing, you know, they're dismissing me. So they bring 135 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.840 him into the CT scanner and I wait outside the 136 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.559 door and suddenly I hear that seizure noise again, and 137 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.840 I rush in and I go, he's having another seizure 138 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.679 and the lady says, no, he's snoring. He just fell 139 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.039 asleep on the table. I go, I think that man 140 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.960 does not snore. I sleep, this is a seizure. So 141 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.879 I run around from the CT area back to the 142 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.799 er and I literally grab a doctor and a nurse 143 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:29.559 by the hand hard and drag them with me back 144 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.320 to the CT room. They go in. The next thing, 145 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.440 I know, they're calling a code and they're calling a 146 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.120 crash cart. I didn't think it was for Andrew. Suddenly 147 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.519 the crash cart goes into the CT I follow it. 148 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.159 There he is them pounding on his chest doing just 149 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.759 like in the movies, shocking him. He rises up in 150 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:02.279 the air. There's a large black man doing compressions on 151 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.679 his chest. He's bruising around where they're doing the compressions. 152 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:15.720 They asked me if they should stop? Can you imagine 153 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.799 they've discounted me the whole night. Haven't taken us seriously? Now, 154 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:31.759 that's say should stop? I was. I couldn't believe what 155 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.360 was going on. I couldn't believe it.

Thirty Americans die every hour 164 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.559 from medical mistakes. My late husband on this day twenty 165 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:34.679 four years ago. Was one of them. They're pounding on him, 166 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.039 they're shocking him. They're arguing about amps of epi or 167 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.960 amps of this. They asked me, should we stop. I'm all, no, 168 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:48.799 crack his chest, get somebody in here. I walk over 169 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.519 to him and I whisper into his ear. You know 170 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.279 this is going to make a really interesting show on Monday. 171 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.399 And I'm sure that this has all been quite scary. 172 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:06.679 But I really need you to come back now. I 173 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:13.279 need you to wake up. I need this to not 174 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:21.519 be happening. You can't be gone, he was. They finally stopped. 175 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.639 Karen got there and found me and said, where's Andrew. 176 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.440 And I said to her, I think he's dead, and 177 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.000 she was like, that's impossible. And I pull her inside 178 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.919 the room where he is, and there he was dead. 179 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.440 They sat me in a room. A doctor came to 180 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.039 tell me he thinks it was a pulmonary embalist. That 181 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.879 will never really know for sure. I tell the doctor 182 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.480 it was a heart attack. He said it was a 183 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.840 heart attack. We said it was a heart attack. You 184 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.679 never did anything. You never treated us like he was 185 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:08.720 really sick. Then the police show up. I thought the 186 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.639 police were there to arrest the doctor. I really did. Meanwhile, 187 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.399 all of his other family is coming, and I've been 188 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.080 on the phone, and I really thought the police were 189 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:25.559 there to arrest the doctor. But no, they were there 190 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.960 to maybe arrest me because it was a suspicious death. 191 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.879 The rest of the day became a blur. I knew 192 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.320 that what happened at that ar was wrong. I knew 193 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.440 that they made mistakes. I knew it in my heart, 194 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.960 and I knew that had they taken Andrew seriously and me, 195 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:59.159 that he would be alive. I was denied the chance 196 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.639 to prove that ye when his parents dropped out of 197 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.240 the lawsuit that I filed because domestic partners didn't have 198 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.200 the right to sue. So Michael Lauda, a lawyer in 199 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:17.279 Long Beach, took my case anyway, and it took us 200 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.799 six years, but I changed the law in California so 201 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:27.600 domestic partners could have the right to sue, and they 202 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:32.039 settled with me out of court for five figures, not 203 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:37.799 six five. We couldn't go to trial because if the jury, 204 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.879 if just one juror thought that our relationship wasn't real. 205 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.679 This was before gay marriage. This is two thousand and one, 206 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.240 then we would lose, so I took the I can't 207 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.000 give you the exact amount, but it's between fifty and seventy. 208 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.919 I took the between fifty and seventy which was left 209 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:05.000 over from paying the law, and went my way, knowing 210 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.360 that the changing of the law would mean a lot 211 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:16.320 to Andrew. And I became a huge, outspoken critic of 212 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.879 the medical establishment and how it's called the medical practice 213 00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:26.840 because they just haven't gotten it right. Yet. Thirty people 214 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:32.440 an hour in this country die because a doctor or 215 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:37.120 a nurse makes a mistake. Another twenty people per hour 216 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.720 are permanently disabled because a doctor or a nurse makes 217 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:49.039 a mistake. With Andrew's case, their mistake was not paying 218 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.039 attention to the EKG, not paying attention to the patient. 219 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.120 He did die of a blood clot in his heart, 220 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.240 even aspirin would have helped him. The seizures were the 221 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.039 blood clot moving and blocking blood. They never did any 222 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.360 diagnostic testing, an angiogram nothing. Had they, they would have 223 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:20.080 found it. You have got to be your own advocate 224 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:26.759 in the hospital, and if you are incapacitated, you must, 225 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:34.480 I repeat must bring someone with you. In the ICU. 226 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:40.240 Four weeks ago, I refused medications when I was in 227 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.799 the hospital with the shingle. Look what the shingles vaccine 228 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.639 did to me, gave me shingles, meningitis, put me in 229 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.440 the hospital. Now I've got muscle fisticulations and the doctors 230 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.039 act like that's not even a thing, Like, oh, that's 231 00:16:52.080 --> 00:17:01.039 so rare. Medical mistakes are real, and they kill hundreds 232 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:05.839 of thousands of people a year. Now, I'm not saying 233 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.839 don't quote trust your doctor. That's not what I'm saying. 234 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:16.680 I am saying that question. Everything be a pain in 235 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:21.680 the ass. It's your healthcare. Google every drug that they're 236 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.960 gonna give you before you take it. Don't just take 237 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.279 what they hand you and go here. No, Google every 238 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.119 drug they give you before you take it. Even in 239 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:39.279 the hospital, especially in the hospital. Often in the hospital 240 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.720 there's three doctors seeing you that don't even talk to 241 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.559 each other. One time in the hospital, my mother was 242 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.519 so overprescribed that they thought she had a stroke and 243 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.799 it wasn't. They had just given her too much medication. 244 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:59.799 You have got to be your own advocate or a 245 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.599 friend's advocate. And yes, that means you must learn everything 246 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.000 you can about your conditions. Because I'm telling you doctors 247 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:19.880 make mistakes, nurses make mistakes, and people die, thirty of 248 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:27.240 them an hour from these mistakes. I can never get 249 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.119 Andrew back. He would be alive today with his HIV 250 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:39.200 if they hadn't made the mistakes and killed him at 251 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:45.319 Long Beach Memorial and his primary care doctor, Kushian I tried. 252 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.200 I was the squeaky wheel. I was screaming at the 253 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.880 top of my lungs. It was five in the morning. 254 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.400 I was trying to get medical transport there to transport 255 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:59.440 him to seaters. I knew something was wrong. I couldn't 256 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:06.079 convince them, and there were prejudices. It was gay Pride weekend. 257 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.880 We were gay. He was drunk. They were seeing a 258 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:14.079 lot of queers come in that had, you know, reactions 259 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.000 to various drugs they had done or medications they had taken. 260 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.720 So they thought he was just another one of those. 261 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.880 Nothing I could do would convince them that he wasn't 262 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.759 a drugged out gay pride mess, that this was real. 263 00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:40.079 Er people have prejudices against blacks, against gays, against Hispanics, 264 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.720 against poor people, against homeless people. They have their own 265 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:47.559 set of prejudices, and that could cause them to make 266 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:53.920 a mistake. And it did. Don't be one of the 267 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:59.720 one hundred thousands questions everything, Google everything, bring an a, 268 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.279 there's the kid with you? When you can't, it's your life. 269 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.279 Have to walk out. Don't end up like an or me. 270 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.599 I died that day too.

And let's 288 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:27.599 keep the party going as long as we can. So 289 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.920 I know that today we should talk about the fact 290 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:35.279 that the ten richest people in America, the ten billionaires 291 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:40.240 that are the richest, last year, gained three hundred and 292 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:44.839 sixty five billion dollars in wealth. Just ten people, ten 293 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:50.079 people in America last year got three hundred and sixty 294 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.880 five billion dollars, which is an amount of money you 295 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.119 cannot comprehend. Your brain cannot comprehend how much a billion 296 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.480 truly is. You will never understand how much money that 297 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:05.599 really is. The money that these top ten made last year. 298 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.920 This three hundred and sixty five billion is more than 299 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:13.960 the entire budget of the bottom one hundred countries out 300 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:18.119 of one hundred and eighty six countries. The annual budget 301 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.240 of those countries is not three hundred and sixty five 302 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.039 billion dollars. And yet they're getting a tax break. This 303 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.079 new budget would give them a tax break. That's wrong, 304 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.759 and we should be taking a whole lot of that money, 305 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.079 but we're not. And I should talk about that. I 306 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:39.720 should talk about this dome that he wants to build 307 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:45.359 using space as a defense shield for the Americas. China 308 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.000 doesn't want it. And do we really want to weaponize space? 309 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:53.519 Because if we weaponize space, China and Russia are going 310 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.079 to weaponize space. And this is a war we don't 311 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.759 want to get into, you know, a space war that 312 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:02.480 we don't want to have, but looks like we're heading 313 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.960 for one. I should talk about that. I should talk 314 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.559 about that. I want to lose weight, and I'm being 315 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:13.599 pressured into having that wigoviy or zep bound when I 316 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.440 kind of want to do it the old fashioned way 317 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:20.799 and just cut calories and lose weight, even though it's hard. 318 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.839 I've reached a plateau. I want to be two fifteen. 319 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.839 That's what I could eat a ton and be two 320 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.279 sixteen and starve and be two thirteen. My body wants 321 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.799 to stay right here, so I'm fighting my body. We 322 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.519 can talk about people that don't want the shot to 323 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:42.440 lose the weight, but after telling that story and telling 324 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.599 you that the third cause of death in America is 325 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.519 medical mistakes, I am pleading with you because the medical 326 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:56.519 mistake doesn't just kill the person. I died that night 327 00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.119 along with Andrew. Everything I knew about my life at 328 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:09.920 that moment changed and was over. KFI took me off 329 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.720 Monday through Friday because we were a team, and suddenly 330 00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.960 they didn't know what to do with me. So my 331 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.599 income went from three hundred thousand a year with Andrew 332 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:24.279 combined the two of us three hundred plus thousand a year. 333 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.440 That moment he died, my income went to fifty seven 334 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.519 thousand dollars. He had no life insurance because people with 335 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.759 HIV AIDS can't get a life insurance because they're gonna 336 00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:44.039 die like everybody else. My home, my dogs, we were 337 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.039 one word. We were Charles and Andrew. That we were 338 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.640 never apart in almost twelve years. We were only a 339 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.480 part a total of three days, not all at once, 340 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.359 a total in twelve years. We were never a part. 341 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.000 And that medical mistake didn't just change Andrew's life and 342 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:13.279 ended it ended mine and in some ways I'll never recover. 343 00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:20.359 I fell into opiate legal prescribed, but they helped and 344 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:25.839 Benzo's you know, xanax to get through any depressives. My forties, 345 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.960 I was a drugged out mess, entitled hurt, fighting an 346 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:37.359 unwinnable lawsuit. I thought it ruined me and I have 347 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.759 yet to really recover. I have not dated anybody seriously, 348 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:48.400 anyone that was available in twenty four years when he 349 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:54.480 died in front of me. That was my world because 350 00:25:54.920 --> 00:26:00.279 doctors didn't take us seriously. And in the chat at 351 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.880 YouTube dot com forward, specially Correll, there's people telling stories 352 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.200 where they go into the er, said there's something wrong 353 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.799 with their heart. Er says, no, there's not. They leave, 354 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.119 they go to the cafeteria. Suddenly they nearly have a 355 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.359 heart attack, and then they have to go back to 356 00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:18.440 the er. Then suddenly they're taken seriously. There's countless stories 357 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.200 out there of people who present for help and don't 358 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.079 get it or they get I had the ALS scare 359 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:31.279 and that's one of the most misdiagnosed diseases that there 360 00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:37.200 is medical mistakes. You know, we think we have this 361 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.759 greatest healthcare system in the world. Well we do, and 362 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:43.960 it can save your life, but you've got to be vigilant. 363 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:49.039 You cannot just lay back and take whatever. When they 364 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.240 sent me home from the ICU after the heart thing, 365 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:58.039 these sixty thousand, seventy thousand dollars day with metropilol eloquist, 366 00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:01.839 Oh and what other drug, and I called my cardiologists 367 00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.960 and he said, don't take those drugs. My resting heart 368 00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.759 rate when I sit down and just watch TV, my 369 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:14.440 heart rates fifty two because I exercise every day. And 370 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.240 yet the ER or the ICU sent me home with 371 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.319 a drug that would have lowered it into the twenties. 372 00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.920 I am not a risk for a blood clot. I 373 00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:31.240 am sixty two and my only God on my brain, 374 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.160 I'm sorry. My only reason they would give it to 375 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.960 me is I have a history of hypertension. My CHAD 376 00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:46.559 score is only one, so I didn't need Eloquist. And 377 00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:51.079 so they are quick to prescribe, they are quick to diagnose. 378 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.480 They oftentimes just see you for twenty thirty seconds. They 379 00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:59.720 get it wrong all the time, And we'd like to 380 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:05.160 belie that we don't malpractice cases. Ninety percent of malpractice 381 00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:11.559 cases are never filed. Only two percent of malpractice cases win. 382 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.079 Do you know why I was explained this during my fight, 383 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.359 my legal fight. The jury wants to believe in doctors. 384 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.440 If a jury sides with the person who says the 385 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.920 doctor messed up, then the jury is admitting to themselves 386 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.279 that their doctor could mess up. And they don't want 387 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.599 we don't hear about medical mistakes. You hear about heart attacks, droke, 388 00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:37.720 you hear about all these other causes of death in America. 389 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.920 You never hear about medical mistakes, and yet they're the 390 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:45.319 third biggest cause of death, and you don't hear about 391 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:49.279 it because if you knew how many people actually die 392 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:54.359 from a medical mistake, you wouldn't trust the healthcare system. 393 00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:58.480 They can't have that because your trust in them makes 394 00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:04.319 them billions of dollars between Andrew dying right in front 395 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.200 of them, me getting the shingles shot and getting shingles 396 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.440 and meningitis. I have zero trust for the medical profession. 397 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:17.279 Now I question everything, So should you don't be me 398 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:24.880 question everything beforehand? I should have questioned that shingles vaccine 399 00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:28.799 more I didn't. I should have gotten them out of 400 00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:35.000 Memorial I didn't. I beat myself up for decades after. 401 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.559
