Apart from the infomercial about her associated stuff at the end what did you think of it?

I'm inclined to let it run as a genuine public service resource.

I like to read accompanying comments on items of interest like this.

I've been through a few hospital stuff-ups. Such visits are usually endurance tests I wish I could avoid.

Hi, Having spent way too many hours onto days and then months and even many  years as a family advocate, I found it pretty shallow, just enough truth to raise a fear level or concern and lead into the close of her sales pitch.

I have slept in more hospital room visitor's chairs and bed than I suspect the average person has had to endure. There are horror stories galore that are very real.Everyone needs a family advocate and really  a whole family team that comes sacrificially to the aid of one of their own that falls into medical need. That is for sure.

I would want to have lots of specifics to be alerted to be watching out for and also detailed guidance for how to work with care givers at hospitals especially, and not just a few sizzle comments leading to a sales presentation.

It is work, it requires learning laws regarding care too! Least in the USA it does. My own family fortunately works closely together dividing up the many tasks amongst us according to our own talents, all working as a coordinated unit.

Not that my opinion matters, but this is an excellent public information video. When I had the time, I followed P.N. and found her very knowledgeable and credible, as in this reported video.

When I need to reference something to back up my thoughts or claims from the Internet, it is challenging to attach something that does not violate T.O.S. or has something embedded that is objectionable. Instead of nit-picking it to pieces, we would be better off evaluating the content and value of it as a Christian (discernment – common sense).

Not many websites or videos are self-supporting but require sponsors to keep them running.

Hospitals are known for stiffling free speech

There is information that the general public here really needs to know.  I would keep it as a public service.

Hi, I credit the "general public" as having more than a little knowledge. "It"(The video) obviously  can be kept here,  I find it to be a self serving infomercial by an internet influencer, simply a sales pitch for profit not public service. Just one opinion, mine, obviously.

The internet is just chock full of videos that could fill up this video category of general. Few if any have anything to do with what I would think I might find useful on a Christian message board though.

I don't know how much you read through all the threads here, but a lot of it is just general discussion getting to know each other.  Lighten up.

People should not just assume that other people know or should know all this already.

I just found this video yesterday and was shocked by what this former nurse had to say.

Not everyone has family and family support. Yes its a good idea , to prepare, get a power of attorney made, get your will in order.

IT used to be that people helped one another, if somebody has no more family left or was all alone and they were part of a church, at least some members of the church would go visit regularly the one alone in hospital or would help and make some home visits.

Volunteer kindness?  It exists but it has become more rare.

Christian kindness?  ''   ''         ''   ''   "     "            "       "

 

In my country, the health care system has really declined for the worse, no longer giving the same services it once did.

Today I had an appointment for a yearly physical that I now have to book 2 years in advance.

Getting a physical used to involve many different things. Today my physical from my family doctor ( which also has become hard in finding one) involved taking my blood pressure ( that was all). I had to ask the doctor to check my ears, which in the physical of years past. the doctor would check your ears, your reflexes, they would palpate the stomach area, they would weight you, have you change into a gown for the exam, none of which was done in my physical check up today.
