they better sue that hospital for everything they got, he still would be alive if they didn't feed him solid food while his immune system was weakened.
SMMFH. I'm out. I'm going to pretend my Crime Rap GOAT didn't die over some easily avoidable, neglectful bullshyt under the care of medical professionals. This is fukked up.
99.99999% of sickle cell patients are more than strong enough to eat regular food, play on their laptop/phone, and walk around the nursing station. This was certainly not his first meal of solid food during his admission. Don't post about what you don't know or understand.
What he choked on isn't important to me the issue is how is the hospital so negligent that one of their patients can die from choking on food? The fukk?
This is a fair statement if negligence can be proven. On his initial eval, were there signs that he had a swallowing issue or dysphagia? If so and they didn't have a speech eval done by a licensed speech therapist, then there's potential fault there. But again, this is not true for virtually 100% of sicklers.
Because when you have a sickle cell crisis they give you large amount of opiates, it's the only way to calm the pain but they're supposed to give you something for nausea/vomiting as well for this very reason. Usually zofran is what they give me.
edit opiates make you nauseas especially at huge doses given during a sickle cell crisis. You getting like 3ml of iv dilauded which is strong as fukk to calm the pain w those size doses any responsible hospital should be giving him something along w each dose this is on the hospital.
Sounds like you're a sickler so you should know alot of what I'm about to say. These patients are used to doses of opiates that would otherwise knock most of the general population out or stop us from breathing. A sickle patient does not always get anti-nausea meds at the same time they get a push of morphine or dilaudid. Not to mention that a large portion of sicklers are often placed on a constant drip of IV opiates called a PCA (Patient Controlled Anesthesia) where they are usually getting a basal amount of opiate every hr, plus a bolus dose every 10-15 min that they can give themselves by pushing a button for breakthrough pain. They typically only get the nausea meds (or also anti-itch meds as opiates cause alot of pruritis) when they feel they need it and call the nurse for a dose. The only scheduled med outside of opiates I give my sickle patients are stool softeners as the opiates will cause significant constipation.
Yeah fam this is on the hospital it is protocol to give something for vomiting for sickle cell patients w each dose of morphine/demerol/dilauded(not everything works for everyone so it's usually one of those three).
Once again, unless he was coherent enough while choking/vomiting to call the nurse for anti-emetic meds, then this is not routine. This was an unfortunate freak accident and I see no evidence that this is on the hospital or bedside nurse.
The family should definitely consult with the best medical malpractice attorney in Nevada.
There may be negligence and there may not be. But the family should look into it.
This was a very reasonable statement and
@mobbinfms you are the only one I can see not spreading medical misinformation in here. What field are you in in medical care?
As a P stan I'll say this: if P was in a right state of mind, healthy as fukk and choked to death on a egg while shooting a video or whatever I could see the humor.
Fact is he was on a hospital bed and he died because somebody fukked up bad. That's not just tragic but scary as fukk and I'm not easily offended or whatever but I just don't see the humor in this one.
Fukkboy shyt.
Absolutely zero proof at this time that there was any negligence or fukk up from anyone. I agree that there is no humor in this, but I just want to spread proper medical information as alot of you are vert misinformed.
How do we know who fukked up here though? That's why I say they should consult with an attorney to find out.
Again, props to you for being reasonable and clearly understanding.
I can't believe you guys believe this shyt and are having a serious discussion about this.
Of course the hospital is liable anybody that sick CNA is supposed to feed the patients you just don't go to the cafeteria and order a egg salad..Who was monitoring him while he ate?
See my first long paragraph above. I've never had a sickle patient need to be fed by a CNA or patient care assistant. They are 99.99999% capable of doing everything in terms of their own self-care/feeding. As I told the first person, please don't make statements on something you aren't educated on. There is no evidence that the hospital should be liable.
He should have been on a liquid diet till released
do you know something that the rest of us don't know about what happened at the hospital? Why should he have been on a liquid diet? More misinformation.
His cause of death was from eating the food and vomiting, but in the process the vomit filled his lungs causing him to choke. This is usually fatal if a doctor or paramedic is not nearby to treat.
The accidental choking was not from simply swollowing a boiled egg and it geting lodged in his throat causing his death. It's due to sickle cell anemia making the human body extremely weak so much to not even be able to hold down food. Often times patients recovering from a bout of seizures are fed through tubes to make the process of consumption easier.
The hospital and TMZ *will be sued for leaking sensitive information as well as the staff for patient negligence. How can you let someone choke to death on your watch
*IN A HOSPITAL OF ALL PLACES?
The reason why the mortality rate for males and females is mid-late 40s is due to the years of constant stress on the body usually takes its toll and anything could have killed him at that point if the sickle cell flared up. Patients of the disease die from
choking/asphyxiation, high blood pressure/blood clots and cardiac arrest are the main culprits. Whatever their cause of death is it is always caused by complications with sickle cell.
Prodigy's time was up in the physical and he had to answer.
May you R.I.
. Thunny.
Damn, you started off good then a shook my head after the first sentence. You did redeem yourself in talking about usual causes of deaths. Sicklers don't typically come in the hospital b/c they are weak, they come in b/c when a sickling crisis occurs, the sickle cells obstruct adequate blood flow and lead to poor tissue perfusion and subsequent pain (he pain makes them want to stay in bed until the pain is controlled,, but they are not weak per se). They are not usually weak when we have them in the hospital, but in distress from the pain. They all at regular diets or modified diets for those who need diabetic or heart healthy diets, but it is still solid regular food. They don't die from being weak or the stress of a sickling crisis, they die related to complications from the sickle cells themselves, whether it be Acute chest syndrome w/ respiratory failure, sometimes infection, heart attacks, strokes, etc. They do not die from choking/asphyxiation as you bolded, however.
because he wasn't supposed to be eating solid food
again, do you know something about his hospital care that we don't? why shouldn't he have been on solid food?
He didn't choke on an egg. He couldn't hold down solid food yet so his body rejected it as it was too weak and the vomit filled his lungs. What is funny about that? This is a common cause of death for people who are heavily intoxicated like alcoholics and drug addicts as well as the elderly etc.
TMZ reported he choked on an egg for sensationalism/click-bait because he's black and whites in general think less of us so taunt us for no reason, hence the false headline.Don't give these CACs passes, P. wouldn't approve.
Again, where is the proof that he couldn't or should't have had solid food? I've never had a non-intubated, walking and talking sickler have to be on a liquid diet unless they tell me theere nausea is uncontrolled. too much medical nonsense/misinformation being said in this thread. You are right about intoxicated people often suffering from aspiration. I do admit alot of drunks who pass out and throw up while passed out and developed PNA. There is no proof here that P was too sedated to eat as this was clearly not his first meal of his hospital stay and probably not the first thing that he ate that day.
