Thank you Ben, for posting this. I have to say, I couldn't finish the video, I was so angry at what happened to that young man, the ignorance of the doctors in the ER, and hospital, and the weasel words from everyone at the hospital afterward.
It is unconscionable that supposedly learned people would so completely ignore the family history, and DIRECT family pleadings to check out aortic dissection and go down a path that was so terribly and fatally wrong.
None of their appologies and corrections done after the fact will bring this young man back to life.
Please, please everyone, if you think you have something and no one is listening, do NOT let up until someone hears you and also does something about it.
And for those of you with aortic problems and family history, please be mindful of your condition and any symptoms.
Just don't take no for an answer.
Sometimes medical people can be just as lazy as the rest of us, and don't want to be bothered.
I know I'm a pain in the b---, but darn it, if you go into the medical profession, then you have accepted the fact that you must be more careful than you would in any other profession.
It's a matter of responsibility and trust that people have in you.
