CluelessDoctors Founder Will Head to Challenge as Activist!

I have formed a new group on Facebook  in order to brainstorm about how to get the medical system turned around by sharing medical tragedy stories involving malpractice of course and finding out the best ways to act and help form a way to move toward changing the system successfully. First I would like to tell the goal of the group and then I share a few stories I have recently heard of.

My goals to achieve and pass as law are as follows:

1) In November this year, those of us in California are to vote on a new ballot that raises the malpractice cap from $250k to over $1 million–this increase just simply adjusts for inflation. We need to vote on that to pass so malpractice can become a legal practice in California again.

2) Did you know that all real estate agents, all engineers, all insurance agents, all hair dressers, etc., have to go back every year for certain number of classes or they lose their licenses? Some of them actually have to pass a new test. Don’t you agree that doctors should have such a requirements? I am after enforcing a mandatory annual 40-hour further education with all new treatments and drugs to doctors with a test requirement and if not passed the test, the loss of license follows.

3) Medications that contain anti psychotic drugs that come in hundreds of names must all be labeled with capital letters stating clearly what they are. For example, medications that in any way add, enhance, increase absorption, modify receptors, etc., for serotonin must be labeled SEROTONIN in addition to whatever brand name it carries. If the drug is a Benzodiazepines group drug, they must all be labeled BENZODIAZEPINE so doctors know. I cannot tell you how many doctors told me that Ambient or Lunesta were not benzos but they are… they are what is called Atypical Benzodiazepine Receptor Legands. That is they impersonate benzos and act as though they were–like artificial sweeteners… they call on insulin as if we ate real sugar. In fact Ambient and Lunesta both are hypnotic benzos. You can find the chart with all details summarized in a super good chart on Wikipedia.

Some medical nightmare stories:

A mother had her son with some illness checked in to some hospital where they overdosed him with anti psychotic medications and he promptly died. No lawyer would take on the malpractice–this happened in California–so the mom hired an attorney team, filed a lawsuit and LOST! Now even the insurance companies are after her to pay for their legal expenses.

The second story I heard from my husband who heard it on the radio on his way home. This happened in Boston. A family with a very sick daughter outside of Boston were sent to a specialist who was the only one understanding what to do. They packed their daughter up to an ambulance that was supposed to take the daughter to this location but for some reason–we don’t know why–it stopped at a different location. The doctor there had no clue. He called in the resident psychologist, who is a woman famous for writing a book about how over 50% of kids today are psychos. She said this girl was a psycho and not only that, she now has put a hold on the family for abuse. The daughter is not getting treatment and also the parents are now considered to be suspect of child abuse I believe.

A third story to tell you from a friend who I just befriended and joined forces with. Her daughter, as a small child 10 years ago, hurt her knee in a fall. She took her to the doctor and they sent her home as “nothing.” Her daughter died in sepsis in 2.5 days after that. This was 10 years ago. She has been fighting the crusade alone since then. Now I am joining her.

I am also joining the efforts of the non-profit organization called 4Fate.org who took on the safety of the elderly as their main cause and have helped me by taking my case and filing for me at all the agencies that license hospitals and nursing homes. Slowly my case is moving forward–I am sure it will get stuck since no attorney today will take on a case that has malpractice in it with a child or with an elderly.

Please let us put out heads together and storm out possibilities on how to approach the system. How do I go about fighting for you all? Where do you suggest I start? I had some great ideas about the New York Times–I will be contacting them. I already contacted the OC Register and NBC4 news local investigating teams–these are all on my mother’s case but slowly I will turn this into a state case and/or a national case.

I need your help with more stories and suggestions if you have.

Thank you all!

Clueless Doctor Causes Stroke

Please read and SHARE everywhere you can to make it go viral! This is very important news for all of you and your loved ones!

My mother had a major stroke today out of doctor cluelessness and this happens every day everywhere only few realize that it does.

Do you have Durable Power of Attorney for your loved ones and for yourself? Were you told to believe that the Durable Power of Attorney will protect you from the hospitals or doctors doing whatever they wish with you? WRONG!

I have full Durable Power of Attorney over my mother. She has been going from hospital to nursing home to hospital and to nursing home to hospital, etc. The very first hospital misdiagnosed her by a psychiatrist who first went to the wrong bed, then came to my mother after my husband called him. He asked some usual questions: where do you live, where did you live before, etc. My mother answered every one correctly. His diagnosis: Alzheimer’s Dementia. Don’t ask me why–I just found this out later, This initial misdiagnosis followed my mother wherever she went.

To make things worse, at this hospital they “forgot” to give my mother a medication that is highly addictive so they pulled her through full withdrawal–have I mentioned she was 88 years old and admitted with high blood pressure and hypertension induced delirium? No? Well forget that since no one cared why she was admitted! They wanted to treat her for Alzheimer’s even though she did not have it. She also came down with serotonin syndrome at the same time full blown since she received by hospital error a double dose of serotonin and what we did not know, her high blood pressure and delirium was building up to a serotonin syndrome. In the US, as of 2012, only 15% of doctors actually recognized serotonin syndrome, over 47,000 people got it and just under 100 died. If you include the other 85% of doctors who missed a diagnosis, you can increase the number 8.5 fold, so well over 500,000 (that is half a million people) in the US had serotonin syndrome and likely around 700 died. It is not a rare disease! Because of her serotonin syndrome, she of course cannot get serotonin anymore but at that hospital no one believed me.

So they sent her on her way to a skilled nursing facility where her serotonin storms hit her. The general treatment for that is to put the person asleep and only awake for feeding. But at the skilled nursing they could not do that so they sent her back to the hospital, which promptly sent her to a psych ward, with now the new diagnostic titles: Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, psychosis, and delirium. The psych ward put her on what is called RIESE 5150, a 72-hour lock-down hold. In that period they started to give her medications like an experiment. She also received medications that had interactions causing heart and liver failure–did I mention she was 88-years old with a heart condition admitted originally?

After she refused to take her medications they pulled a RIESE 5250 on her and even though I had full Advanced Power of Attorney, they denied my rights and put her under state ownership. At that point the doctors can do whatever they wish. there was no communications. We were allowed to see her twice a day for one hour, no phone, no purses, no camera, not even a bottle of water was allowed in. Pure prison. Every time we went she was in a coma-like sleep.

The RIESE was up on the 17th of March, 2014 so one of the doctors called me to get my permission to give her a list of medicines. I permitted none only some Ambient in very low dose for sleeping if must. Instead, they gave her… you guessed it, Serotonin! She left that hospital in a semi coma, in that state for 3 days. They dumped her in a mental institute where only Alzheimer’s (remember, she did not have it), and schizophrenic people were. They were seriously ill… they urinated in my mother’s closet. They screamed all day long!

A psychologist came one day when I was there. He talked to my mother at length, with her answering every question right. Diagnosis: you guessed it, Alzheimer’s.

I called a meeting together because by this time my mom was saying things that if she had to stay here she would rather die. So they wanted to send her back to the psych ward, which I did not permit. The head psychologist was there so I asked him to evaluate. Him, his assistant and my husband went to talk to my mom. She went through all tests with flying colors. Her records were changed to normal, no dementia, no Alzheimer’s, no schizophrenia. And she was transferred to a well known hospital. She was checked into the ER and I gave my Durable Power of Attorney–AGAIN! and listed the medications she is allergic to AGAIN and told them that NO PSYCH medications.

Next day–today, the 4th of April–I visit her in her room. The male nurse is the rudest nurse I have ever seen. My mom was sitting in a pile of pee, wet gown, and no change for hours. The doctor discharged my mom without even a cardiologist so I had the doctor paged at about 2 pm. My mother’s morning medications arrived at 4 pm and there were 5 pills rather than 4 in the case. I asked the nurse why 5, he said all for heart. I said OK. She took the pills and in 15 minutes she had a major stroke.

While they were examining her and getting her stroke treated–half side body fully paralyzed, half face paralyzed, cannot speak. I asked the terrible male nurse what was the 5th pill. This time he did not say heart pill! He said it was for Alzheimer’s! A drug I did not permit! He gave me the name: it was serotonin. At that point I called 911 and wanted the doctor arrested but 911 told me this is a malpractice–which in California does not exist with the $250k cap. But this is also criminal since her allergy chart states no serotonin!

In the intensive care unit, the doctor finally dared looking into my eyes. I asked why she gave serotonin. She said “that was not serotonin” but dopamine. I showed her on my phone using the internet search, taking less than 20 seconds, the drug and all information and that it is serotonin! I also asked her “do you know what dopamine is used for in the brain? She said no. Serotonin? She said no. So.. a doctor prescribing medicine she does not know.

So she said well the pharmacy should have known. But the pharmacy did not know it was serotonin either!

In fact, NOT ONE doctor or pharmacy within any of the hospitals or skilled nursing facilities where my mother was (6 in 6 weeks) honored my Durable Power of Attorney, NOT ONE recognized a serotonin medication when they saw one!

So let me summarize:

Doctors are prescribing medication they are not familiar with and don’t know what those do. Pharmacies are not checking patient allergies and also don’t know what drugs are what. No doctor ever wants to talk to families who would know. Even nurses lie.

The prize:

Serotonin medicines MUST be labeled SEROTONIN under no matter what name they are manufactured.

And finally, in hospital 1 my mom was misdiagnosed and that fate followed her to EVERY hospital no matter what! That initial clueless doctor doomed her all through to her stroke.

Malpractice in California is impossible because of the $250k cap; the District Attorney is overloaded with malpractice cases because attorneys don’t take them. Doctors know this and are running out of control. Hospitals are now out of control! No doctor is an employee of any hospital; they are “contractors” to protect the hospital.

This has got to end! Doctors are killing patients under their Hippocratic Oath! Enough is enough!

Please share this so millions can read it. I will be fighting all the way through all the courts and legislature if I must to change the system!

Serotonin, NIH, and Malpractice–totally clueless

Serotonin, NIH, and Malpractice–totally clueless.

Serotonin, NIH, and Malpractice–totally clueless

So my last night’s story for Clueless Doctors for you. I found a toll free number to the NIH poison center; the one you are supposed to call when you or your child gets poisoned by something and want to find out what to do.

So the guys picks up and I ask

  • “how long before the brain fully empties the extra serotonin from serotonin poisoning?” He says
  • “Serotonin what?” I say
  • “well you know, when they prescribe too much serotonin and you get toxic levels of serotonin build up in the brain.” He said
  • “Oh that! That is so rare you need not worry.” So I say
  • ” I just read it on the NIH website that last year over 47,000 people had it and just under 100 died.” He says
  • “Just ignore NIH”… I say
  • “duh… YOU ARE NIH“…

What dumb people are answering the phone at NIH poison center to help you??? Honestly?

Note that the number I called is the official number one is supposed to call from everywhere in the US whatever poisoning occurs. Can we even trust the poison center? Is there any place we can go today where we will be treated competently?

There are some places. I have some awesome doctors now after years of searching but it took me about 10 years of moving from doctor to doctor and 2 times near death experience before I found the competent ones. Now you all know that I have medical knowledge at the research level–I am not an MD but a PhD so my field is research rather than practice. Thus I have the advantage over a large percentage of the population who do not know what the doctors do instead of what they should be doing! What can you do then?

Let me tell you another story from yesterday. My mother was completely misdiagnosed at a local very well known hospital and treated with the wrong medications, they forgot to give her the medications she has always taken, etc. So several cases of malpractice and negligence. I filed a claim (within the hospital, following their process) against two doctors who were in charge of my mom’s 10 days in the hospital.

So yesterday I received a letter confirming that the hospital received my complaints and since the doctors are independent contractors and not hospital employees, the hospital is not responsible for their action… I am serious. This is what the letter said. Here is what I wrote back to the hospital:

Interesting statement–does hospital X hire doctors to work on hospital X patients, in hospital X medical rooms, using hospital X equipment, in hospital X offices, using hospital X computers, ordering hospital X nurses, using hospital X medical dispenser system for medicines, and are not responsible for hospital X patients? This will be an interesting discussion indeed.

How did the system degrade to the level that is less responsible than constructions or grocery stores or any other public or private system? How can the healthcare system of a country be not responsible for its doctors’ incompetent, negligent, and sometimes criminal actions? Here is a criminal one for you: If on your medical chart says you are allergic to a medicine and the doctor goes ahead and gives it to you anyway, that is “intent to harm” and that is a criminal act.

So now you may say “why don’t you file criminal charges against that doctor?” And I have to tell you that I cannot. The California medical criminal system is so kluged up as a result of attorneys refusing to take on malpractice cases, that the District Attorney’s office can no longer see out of their offices from the stacks and stacks of claims. No claim can be put in that will actually prosecute in my lifetime. And then you may ask “well don’t attorneys take on the malpractice cases?”

Here is an example for you that made the news a day or two ago: a child died from the malpractice of a doctor. The mother wanted to sue but no attorney would take it so she paid for the suit and hired an attorney to file a malpractice. She lost! Her child was dead, obvious malpractice and she lost! Not only that but then after loosing her child and also all that money in court, the insurance companies ended up suing her for all the costs they had in defending themselves.

Today, in California, no attorney will take on a malpractice lawsuit no matter how hard you try. the explanation is simple and rather ugly: if the malpractice is against a child or an elderly, there is absolutely no chance for them to prove that the child or elderly would not have ended up dead without the bad treatment. In the case of a young adult through middle age person, there is a chance that life would have turned out differently and so then they cannot judge and this little bit of uncertainty is enough to motivate.

This system has to change. I have some ideas that will be written up on my next day of thoughts. If you have any suggestions or complaints yourself or know someone who does, please feel free to write it up under comments or visit my Facebook Fan page and comment there.
