My god this lawsuit is going to be epic.
If I’m on the jury that family is going to own the hospital.
That is some fucked foreshadowing of the future of Health Care…
hold the phone up to his mouth.. you see any condensation? me neither.
*yelling from tv* „Hey. Hey! You dead? Eh? No response. Welp, looks dead to me.“
This is happening so much more frequently than people know. I work at our state’s major academic hospital, which provides similar services for rural hospitals that have been decimated over the last 2 decades. It’s a heinous choice of having a hospital with a shitty e-doctor or no hospital at all.
A Tele-ICU should not exist.
The rich want us to die. Ai is a tool exclusively for the rich
I’m an ICU doctor. I also work tele ICU shifts for our system.
Tele ICU obviously needs a lot of guard rails. The problem is when hospitals without those guardrails in place see ICU billing revenue and the increased patient throughput and only focus on that rather than the lack of guard rails.
There’s a way to make Tele ICU work that serves many patients well and is good care. It’s just that many C-suites override those concerns in favor of profit.
Yale New Haven has always sucked. They ride that name but it’s an awful facility.
Tele-ICU? What in the flying fuck did they expect to happen?
If a Yale-owned hospital could not have on-site doctors in their ICUs, imagine a rural hospital in the middle of nowhere. The American healthcare system is increasingly fucked.
>“A dedicated virtual team collaborates closely with on‑site nurses, physicians and ICU intensivists to provide continuous monitoring, timely decisions and coordinated, high‑quality care throughout the ICU stay,“ the spokesperson told the Courant.
This is what we get for paying so much less than the rest of the developed world for medical care…
…oh, that’s right. We spend about twice as much per capita. Imagine if any other product or service was like this, twice as much and utterly horrible.
Okay, okay, besides Oracle.
“Now they’re suing the hospital. And since Ted is our lawyer, what’s going to happen?”
“Girlfriends gonna get paiiiiiid”
The fuck is a “tele-icu”? Every hospital ive rotated through had a doctor in the ICU at all times. Even the rural hospital. Granted that was in NY.. Is this some kind of difference of state law bullshit or is the hospital just not following the law?
This feels fine. This feels good. This bodes SUPER well.
My GF was not in ICU but when she visited the hospital due to neck and shoulder pain from minor car crash, the nurse brought her into an empty room with a phone. She spoke to a doctor through a phone asking her where exactly is the pain is. She said “I don’t know exactly that’s why I hope you can come down personally and check my neck and shoulder.” But the doctor brushed off and kept badgering “are you sure you don’t have covid or pregnant?” When she said no the doctor just told her you can leave now. NO MEDS OR ADVICE.
Our healtchcare system is a fucking wreck. It would be bad enough if this occurred in a remote rural hospital but this occurred in one of thje most densely populated stretches of the U.S.
This tele-health/franchising of medical care is absolutely infuriating and has devastating consequences
I took my wife to an ER in Clearlake California that was run this way. Nurses ran some tests, called a doctor, and billed us $16k. No diagnosis, just a vague guess at what was wrong.
Mind you, my insurance actually paid $16k, not just billed. The ER even sent a balance bill of $1k for the nurse that saw us. I did not pay that bill.
> Yale New Haven Health, which owns and operates the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus where their son died in 2024, and Northeast Medical Group — which is also part of Yale New Haven Health
Remember these names and avoid their hospitals and clinics if possible
can’t wait for a few months from now when it will be an AI chatbot pronouncing people dead at the tele-ICU
I have a feeling a lot of it had to do with this: „The complaint alleges that Hylton was brought into the emergency department on Aug. 14, 2024, and was „subsequently admitted“ to the hospital with diagnoses that included pancreatitis, dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and alcohol withdrawal.“
From my experience, you’re treated like the scum of society by the staff when you go to the hospital due to alcohol withdrawal. The RN may have had some prejudice against the kid being an alcoholic/possible alcoholic.
Intensive Care with a TELE DOCTOR????? INTENSIVE????
As a nurse that nurse fucked up.
I’m sitting in the ER at the hospital with my wife right now. U know how mad I be if some Dr showed up on a screen and was like „hi I’m in sweeden. I’ll be taking care of your wife „
god damnit what the fuck
From his previous history of these same symptoms, this young man had a severe alcohol allergy (seizures) but continued to drink. Bet you dollars to donuts the hospital attorneys are going to use that fact as the reason he died. Allergies can be that way, mild symptoms a time or three them bam, you’re dead.
Tele-health IC-fuckin-U?
The administrator who approved this plan deserves to suffer the absolute worst fate that the cruelst southern baptist preacher has ever wished upon a person for having gay thoughts.
Can’t wait for the new ePitt series
I’ve read about these rural hospitals that are so mba coded they tele health everyone. It’s disgusting but some times it isn’t greed but they don’t have a choice. It’s tele or nothing. They are so severely underfunded
Okay but he was intubated by someone with critical care experience so why did a tele health doc call the code??
This isn’t a rural hospital. There is easily five hospitals within 15 miles of this one. Milford hospital is incredibly small and I question anyone who is incredibly sick who shows up at their ER over other facilities in the area.
Who the fuck thinks a tele-health ICU doctor makes fucking sense?
You know I’m all for Tele Health for common stuff where you can easily talk it out with a Doctor. But how in the heck does a tele ICU work. It’s called INTENSIVE CARE UNIT! You need staff by your bedside or outside your door 24/7.
I don’t gamble but if I did, I would bet that this hospital was owned by private equity.
I’m a physician, but i’ve never heard of an ICU that didn’t have a physician in house…or at least available.
And he was admitted for alcohol withdrawal…but no one did a CIWA? That’s like Step 2 stuff.
and the first of the medical misadventures have started due to lack of investment in real doctors or nurses
I went to an eye doctor recently, there were no doctors on site, just a technician that did all the physical tests, then sent them to a remote doctor. They sat me in the chair for the „1 vs 2“ part of the exam and they could control that remotely. It did feel a bit dystopian, especially the ads before the doctor showed up on the screen. I think I’ll have to find a smaller practice in the future.
