I think this site is just awesome.
My husband went to the hospital as outpatient 7/3/2000 for heartcath and was told with a 60% blockage in the main artery that he needed by- pass surgery. I asked when, and the doctor said today and planted fear, that this is the kind of blockage that you just drop dead or you never make it to the hospital.
The heart surgeon was called in and the double bypass was done that very day.
The day (july 7th) the doctor actually dismissed my husband to go home but the nurse knew that his oxygen level was low with the oxygen going in his nose. She called the doctor and he reversed the dismisal and started running test only to find 3 blood clots already in his lungs.
He was sent back to CCU for montoring and the blood thinners etc on saturday. (note: Max had the surgery 7/3/200 and the next morn 7/4/2000 he was released to a room the next morning and had him walking with anti-embolism stockings only one day. After that the nurse said he did not need them. There is so much to say.
On Monday 7/10 he was allowed to fall out of the bed in CCU after all week end he was told he could not even sit up in the bed or sit on the side of the bed to us urinal.
By Wednesday evening 7/12 he was released to Telementary and had started having seisures (I noticed them on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday when he was released from CCU when I can now stay with him, he was having them often.
NOTE: I was not told my husband fell out of the bed, it was after a neouroligist was called in Wednesday nite that he told my my husband fell out of bed in CCU, I was so shocked that I thought the Doctor had my husbands records mixed up with someone else. It was a few days later that I did indeed remeber that on 7/10 when I went in the CCu at visiting hours , the curtain was pulled and I walked in. I asked the two nurses what is going on in here?? They said that Max pulled his IV'S out and I remembered that they ran out as soon as possible and there was bloody gause on the floor and garbage can was full of such. They lied to me about it. They never told me and I would have never know if it had not been for the doctor that was called wanting to to do test on Max the next morning.
That was on Thursday 7/13........they did a lot of moving him around, out of his bed to other beds to take him down for test, they did it several times.
By midnite, he was in bad shape, he could not breath good and was in distress, could hardly speak.
Late that nite near midnite he had a CODE BLUE and almost did not make it. However, they did bring him back after 6-8 minutes.
They said he had a embolism and he flat lined.
He was on lift support for a number of days and of course
was back in the CCU. While he was in CCU his stomach start- ing swelling. Max could not speak. In just a few days they transferred him to NICU and they had him restrained and Max was turning his head from left to right constantly and groaning and moaning very loud.
They were trying to say he had some brain damage now. Originally, right after the CodeBlue, the doctor said he did not show brain damage accouding to to CT.
Well they starting giving him HALDOL to quiet him down.
It was terrible. His stomach was getting bigger and bigger.
This was still in the month of July.
On August 1st in the evening, I was there to visit and a doctor walked in and told me that my husband had gallstones and that he was scheduling surgery on August 3rd late in the day. He actually asked me if I wanted my husband to have this surgery. I left the hospital and called a friend that is not a doctor but has a vast amount of medical knowledge. She said she believed that Max had gangrene and that I needed to call the doctor and ask him if Max had gangrene.
I did not know this doctor so I called his heart surgeon and spoke to him about it. He call the surgeon and asked him if Max had gangrene and he said "NO" !!
He took Max to GI lab the next morning to run a test regard-gallbladder. I never got any report of the results.
All I got was do you still want your husband to have this surgery and I said "YES" (this was on Aug. 2nd) The surgery was on for Aug. 3rd. The doctor did not start the surgery until after 7-8pm and it took forever. The doctor came out and said it took longer that he thought and that the gallbladder was worse than he thought and that the lab test did not show the true result. HE NEVER MENTIONED GANGREEN AND I DID NOT THINK TO ASK.
It was now on the following Sunday evening during visiting hours that another doctor with the surgeon's group came and I asked him if they took the gallbladder out (eventhough there was a long incision) and he said oh yes it's gone.
I asked him just how bad the gallbladder was and he said that it was DEAD, that it would not fill and that it was full of gallstones and the cystic bile ducts were full of stones and that is gangrenous. I almost fell in the floor.
My husband would have died if I had said no, and it is miracle that he lived anyway.
Ten days later, he was in bad shape again and thank God for a good nurse that new something was not right.
It was Saturday evening and she call the doctor and said you have a very sick man here and you had better get up there.
The next morning the surgeon came in and took the clamps out and found everything torn loose inside and a very large cyst (he claimed) was there. I don't think he got out all of the gangrene.
I was asked 2 times if I wanted to DNR and I refused.
He was sent out of the hospital to a nursing home to die and almost did. I got there just in the nick of time (forget to tell you about the feeding peg) His lungs were filling up with the feeding and his oxygen was very low. They also asked me about DNR and I said no, call 911.
He was sent back to the hospital again.
Max was in the hospital 3 months and in a unit Intensive Care Unite most of the 3 months.
He was finally release to a Rehab. for 1 month.
Max has been left with a speech defect and cannot walk or use his arms and hands very good.
He cannot ever work again, drive a car, fly (he was a pilot) or really do much of anything as he is always at a great risk for falling.
I asked the doctor on 7/3/2000 about chelation therapy of some other form of treatment and he said " that is a bunch of HOGWASH !!!"
Max, in my opinion does not have any brain damage as all.
He know everything. They had him pumped on so many drugs. He does not even remember going to the hospital but I will never forget it.
I need help as I believe that Max does have a malpractice lawsuit not only the doctors but also the hospital.
I would appreciate a note back from you and sure hope I did not over do it with my writing . There is much much more to tell but I will stop for now.
Thank you,

Dear xxx,
June 20, 2002
Dear Karl,
I have written to you before and you did indeed write
back and put a title to my email regarding the 4 month
stay in a hospital that did almost kill him. In fact
he did code and one report said 3-5 minutes and another
said 6-8.
You named my letter:
THEY TORTURED AND ALMOST KILLED
MY HUSBAND
I would like to have your e-mail address to send this story back to you and tell you about the drug induced tardive dyskisea. He was on Haldo and also Reglan at the same time as well as Coumadin and other dangerous drugs.
Haldol has the following warning in its official description:
Tardive Dyskinesia:
Tardive dyskinesia is known to occur in patients treated with neuroleptics with antipsychotic properties and other drugs with substantial neuroleptic activity. Although the dyskinetic syndrome may remit partially or completely if the medication is withdrawn, it is irreversible in some patients. At the present time there is uncertainty as to whether neuroleptic drugs differ in their potential to cause tardive dyskinesia.Since there is a significant prevalence in this syndrome associated with the use of neuroleptic drugs, and since there is no known effective treatment, chronic use of these drugs should generally be restricted to patients for whom neuroleptics are known to be effective and for whom there is no alternative therapy available with better risk acceptability. If manifestations of tardive dyskinesia are detected during the use of a neuroleptic, the drug should be discontinued.
The risk of a patient developing tardive dyskinesia and of the syndrome becoming irreversible appear to increase with the duration of treatment and the total amount of drugs administered, although, in some instances, tardive dyskinesia may develop after relatively short periods of treatment at low doses. The risk of developing tardive dyskinesia may, therefore, be minimized by reducing the dose of the neuroleptic drug used and its duration of administration, consistent with the effective management of the patient's condition. Continued use of neuroleptics should be periodically reassessed. (source)
I was told so many times while my
husband was in the hospital groaning and (sounded more
like growling sounds) leashed four point most of the
time. He could not talk and he was suffering pain from
a gangrene gallbladder the actually ruptured and ten
days after the original surgery he had to have
additional emergency surgery because in my opinion they
did not get out all the gangrene and he dishissed (?).
He was sent out of the hospital to a nursing home to
die.
On his fourth day there he would have died if I had not
arrived in time to have the nurse to call an ambulance
and
get him to the nearest hospital.
When my husband was discharged from the hospital on
9/8/2000 his stomach was still very large and the
admission office of the nursing so notes in their
records that he had a very large abdomen for a man of
his structure.
On 9/10/2000 while there they x-rayed him and found an
ileus in the small bowel. I am sure he had that when
he left the hospital. When the surgeon came in the day
of the discharge and was taking out the retention
sutures, I was there and I questioned him about the
terrible looks of the incision where the gallbladder
surgery was done and he admitted that it looked bad but
not enough to hold him there (in the hospital).
On 9/12/2000 when I arrived at the
nursing home and found my husband in distress, got him
to the ER at a nearby hospital and then back to the
primary hospital, he wad dehydrated, apparent
aspiration (due to feeding peg) and very low on oxygen.
(in the four days he was in the nursing home, each time
I went in there the oxygen apparatus was always lying
on the floor) When my husband then was transferred back
to primary hospital that bad looking incision was
really looking bad and I was the one to pick up the
phone from my husbands room and call the surgical
groups office and requested them to send some- over to
look at the incision. It was terrible looking. The
skin was transparent and wide and was deep red/burgandy
looking. A doctor came and ideed had to lance and pack
the place where the incision was.
Now I asked later a nurse of his I ran into what would
have happened to my husband if he had been left in the
nursing
home and she said : YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
!!!!!
There is just so much more to this story and I think I
will write the book you suggested.
After almost three more weeks in the hospital, this
time he was released to a rehabilitation hospital for
one month.
A total of 4 months in a hospital when all my husband
went to the hospital in the first place on 7/3/2000 was
for
a heart cath and we thought we would be home in just a
few hours getting a big fourth of July celebration.
After the heart cath, the doctor called me in and said
there was a 60% blockage in the main artery (he did not
even mention the word Widow Artery but I have heard it
from another doctor that with the left main artery
blocked at 60% that it was an emergency.
Is that true??
Karl Note: I am not a doctor, but I don't believe a 60% blockage is a terribly serious matter. When the blockage gets up to 90% or 100%, there are still other arteries that usually carry the blood. Chelation therapy could easily handle this problem.
My husband was not having a
problem with his heart at the time....he only wanted to
work out at a
gym and I suggested that he might need to go for a
physical. Well, he did go for the physical and it has
almost killed him and did mame him for life. I will
say my husband at 70 years old (71 in the hospital) was
a man that was as active as any 55 year old man. He
was also a pilot and a business man for 42 years and
worked up until the day he went to the hospital for the
heart cath.
I have spoken to a product liability attorney that was
a pharmacologist before becoming an attorney he
believes
that my husband has drug induced tardive dyskinesia. I
sent him a video of my husband before, during and
after.
He will never be the same again as this is
irreversible,
Due to changing doctors now and the new doctor referred
him to a neurologist and he sent him to have a MRI of
his
brain and there is absolutely no brain damage.
If there is no brain damage due to the code I would
like to ask your opinion if this is indeed a drug
induced prob-
lem or not. I did not tell the neurologist about the
Haldol or the Reglan because I did not want him to
defend
the fact that my husband may be damaged at the hand of
greedy doctors and hospitals.
Just a note here to let you know for a man that I was
told by doctors that he was brain damaged and comatose
most of the time and wanted me to do DNR and acted mad
because I could not bring myself to do it. HE WAS
COMATOSE ON THE DANGEROUS DRUGS HE WAS ON !!!
He actually flew a plane a few months ago. Now bare in
mind he could not talk to the tower (my son-in-law did
that)
but he flew and landed the plane with no prompting or
re-minding or anything. People (doctors as well)
after know-
ing all that he went thru.....just could not believe
it.
Please give me the address to send my original letter
to you for review.
Thanks
