The Issue
July 31 2023
i woke up and felt off that day and continued on all day with pain off and on all day as it got worst over time and for wide spread i decided to go to the hospital and get it checked by a Dr who first looked at it who ordered x-rays and blood work on me he then told me that i have bad news and that ill have to go on a new med for the rest of my life it was a blood thinner and it is because i had a blood Clott in my right lung so the medication would be started right away and ill take it 3 times a day as directed by the Dr he also set up a CT scan for next morning for me to go down island to get it done and go on the northern health shuttle and to the Cambell River, BC Hospital .
I then left and headed home after he gave me some pain meds and blood thinners as pharmacy was closed at that time and i had to get my meds changed in my blitzed pack anyways next day well not me my mother as Shes the one who's in charge of all meds as i asked her to be in control there are way to much for me and id get confused and forget myself or not take them on time or forget them all together witch would not be good at all .
the next morning mom comes in my room wakes me up says i got your pills and breakfast and tells me its time to get up we have to get ready and go we have to go catch the shuttle for 620 did everything i could that morning and mom to help me not only get dressed but to get me in my wheel chair and to get me into the car and to the hospital i was in so much pain and discomfort to be honest idk how i did it i can handle pain but that was something i can say i never want to experience again i told my mother that i don't think I'll be able to do that ride down its going to be near in possible to do because of how bad the pain is well i had to wait for our er to open ..... why because our er is closed from 8am to 5 pm every day we don't have a running 24/7 hospital anymore due to lack of staffing and that we have a poor excuses of a Northern Island Health who keeps giving me the run around and lies because i know what's what and can't tell me any different trying to get away with things and shove this under the carpet it's not going to work both for the dr. & for Northern island Health
When i went back into the er i waited about a hr to see a dr and so i got to see the intake nurse so i explained what was going on she did check with her listening scope checked blood pressure and heart as well as o2 levels so everything was good there keep in mind now i do have my records now so i can see everything that was done and what was said but here's basically what this dr did for me and he should be ashamed for this.
Aug 1 9:ish 2023 morning of
dr wong shiv bong came into my room he asked me a few questions like why are you here i had told him Iam in a lot of pain like i was last night but ten time worse the dr i saw last night told me to come back if it got worse and told me that if it continues to get back get asap well i know he had a CT booked i told him because of the clot i can't make it due to the pain there's no way and another the people on the shuttle are not trained for any medical emergency if something where to happen and we are in mid travel down island there's no service for most of the way so that's not a good thing so this dr looks at my paper work from last night like my chart and looks at me can clear see there is blood in my container he says to me oh no yeah you are ok we gave you meds last night you are on high dose it will start breaking down the blood clot .... he says go home and rest never checked me over never listened to my breathing never did blood work or x-rays in fact pushed me out the door he neglected me health care and my safety he also malpractice and couldn't even call me and say they come back in i don't even think he checked x-rays from night before..
So i went home and i was about to lay down and go to sleep when i heard and felt a pop pop witch really f******* HURT i was like hyperventilating at that point trying to stay calm knowing damn well Iam in serious trouble and i need help now i said Iam not going back to the port hardy hospital because it's a joke i just got sent home he's clearly not knowing what he's doing so i said to my mother either we call an ambulance or we drive so we drove all the way out to port McNeil witch is 30 min drive that took us a lot less i was starting to fade i was throwing up blood at this point so bad i got to the hospital got in and saw the Dr who i knew and he knew me thank god so he ran x-rays and blood work listened to my chest and lungs and he knew something was up and he was very worried look on his face i could tell...
the x-ray guy that i had i asked him man what's going on like Iam in a lot of serious pain why is this and he told me Stright up what it was and he's not allowed to but you know we do have some people in the world who are there for you and others who don't give a 2 cents worth that care and its sad its crumbling beneath us everyday everyone is so distant because people are glued to their phones so back to what i was saying everything come back and the Dr said truma room now i had to have a open surgy right there right then no drugs on board at all because if he had to slow my heart down at all it would of killed me and i had mins to live anyways if he never got that drainage tube in because i was drowning inside my lungs was filling up with blood my lung collapsed and air was going inside my body and filling with blood it was a mess Dr got the drainage tube in after about half hour from there i was flown out to Cambell River BC hospital where i was taken over case by Dr Ramsey one of the best Drs i stayed there for 2 and weeks where i had a ton of X-rays and Ct scans over and over and over i was very well taken care and they knew how to treat me down there unlike port hardy on other situations where I've been on the floor having seizures in the hall ways for 3-4 hrs. Stright and people would be walking over me not having any respect i would have care aids or nurses treating me with disrespect yelling at me pushing me around with a weak left side ! i ended peeing myself one time so i asked for a pull up and i had little to no energy and i had asked for help and they looked at me and had asked why you're a grown ass man do it yourself and threw it at me hit me in the face this is all true i just haven't said anything i was in the shower with the two care aids they are in there making fun of me laughing at me saying cruel things like , what is wrong with the port hardy hospital and the northern island health care system why is it broken why are we being treated like animals
thank you everyone who has read this and took the time to means alot now i get a lawyer and i don't even know where to start!
much love and support everyone
If we don't act soon someone's going to die it's not the first time
Iam sure its not going to be the last time this happens.
