A Nightmare in Illinois
By D’Anne Burley
Here is a good sermon and interesting to me because this really happened to me and just want to know your opinion and how folks who are in need are greeted by some not all Churches within the community that are faith based,
As many know I have congestive heart failure, I was in the hospital many times due to this condition which causes swelling, fluid retention in legs feet and other parts of the body. I was also told that were is no cure.
If the statement of no cure is true I have no idea because I have had lack of real treatment due to Medicaid system and what is paid and what is not covered.
I was diagnosed with this disease within Hinsdale Hospital located in Hinsdale Illinois. At the time I had the same insurance and there was a change in it because they refused to allow patients to get the same meds, I was on norvasc it worked well to stabilize by condition. But then my doctor decided to change my meds. It was out of the blue, they declined this medication (Medicaid) and then decided to go for the so-called copy-cat lesser cost meds. Well this was the beginning of the end of my life being anything but normal. My blood pressure was no more than 140/80 maybe over 90. But the new medical caused my blood pressure to first to drop to 76/56 which then caused me for the first time to go into Hinsdale Hospital. I fell out in the snow in sub temps on Ogden avenue was rushed to the ER and then was on a stretcher being given more and more medication.
Because the hospitals make pennies on the dollar in relationship to how they are paid via the normal HMO PPO”S and other insurance carriers they have hidden policies to diagnose a patient for only about 15 minutes because of the low amounts paid to the hospitals for procedures. Does not matter what you have how bad you are off some people get through this and our diagnose within the level of professionalism that one would want to see while thousands of others are left in the cold and then experience the nightmare that happened to me.
So the make a very long story short, I was given wrong meds, the diagnoses and treatments were wrong, I followed and trusted them and later discovered the facts about how the medical system is rendering millions of American’s into bad health and causing them to be out of work. Can you sue? Well this is another interesting question like the guy in the movie DOA yet you got it your near death from procedures because of the insurance issue and this is the major issue that needs to be address within the President Obama Camp because just giving more money into a system that is worse than a Frankenstein novel is a little stupid.
Now lets talk about me again, we this is what happened to me; I had years of sulfa based meds which I was allergic too but given anyway. In fact one of the hospitals (Alexian Bros’s harmed me so bad) they lose my record of being admitted within the hospital. This happened in 2004 I think, all I know was I was with a high fever having all the things like No 1 and 2 flowing out onto my bed and they just came in and told me to go! I refused and they then left me in the bed with no care for an additional 3 days. I complained to the State of Illinois Medical Board and they did nothing, I went to the Attorney Generals Office again nothing and took the matter to now sitting Governor Pat Quinn no one did nothing it was cool I guess, at the time of the complaint I have a verifying witness that they would not release my medical information to me in the beginning and without my authorization made someone in charge of my records someone I knew who I never authorized then they refused at the state level to investigation anything and after a year told me I had no case because the state statute expired, well I gave this information to them before this occurred and I was attempting to sue pro-se well then what happened what Alexian Bros then had no record of me being in the hospital on that date. Well folks there is more upon checking into that place I needed to use the bathroom and left my purse on the hospital bed,. Well when I came out of the washroom the nurses were all inside my purse, I came out too fast and they claimed that they needed to go into my purse because it was the hospitals policy. Well I called a administrator on this issue and was told there was no policy in place but the nurses were never called in on it.
Well the medical nightmare rendered me into a worse condition because of the failure to diagnose which if you report it they then attack within hidden administrative controls within the computer system they know who you are and if you cause problems for them and they then refused treatment not in the open but within just leaving you in a room and not really treating you. They will give you X-ray’s and other things that came bring money but again if you are someone who is on the list then the treatment can kill.

Lets take the case of EDGEWATER HOSPITAL this is a great example of one of the many levels of hospital Abuse and how hospitals and insurers and failing to meet the need of the people who are not at the level to have not of the line insurance coverage.
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2008/pr0529_01.pdf
Now the Edgewater story runs deeper because of the hospital board was alleged to contain many members of the Justice System i.e. Judges. Now here is what is wrong with this picture I Judge sits on the board of a Hospital and just think your malpractice lawsuit comes before that same Judge now can that be a issue of Conflict of Interest?
Well it seems that this can be seemed as a open practice within the cases that came out of Edgewater here is another example.
This case read: Unnecessary medical procedures performed
at Edgewater Hospital in order to obtain payments from
insurers (including the federal government’s health-care
programs) led to criminal prosecutions for fraud. Peter
Rogan, a principal at one of Edgewater’s management
companies, was not among the criminal defendants, but the
United States filed a civil suit against him seeking compen-
satory damages and penalties under the False Claims Act.
Click here to read the case info:
You see there was a conflict of interest in fact the Chief Judge of the 7th Circuit’s wife worked for the law firm on the other side of the case of Edgewater while they were within his Court.
The plot gets worse, over the past years I was notified by some of the top doctors of the land of the abuse within Administrative practices and as I stated I am DOA from procedures that maybe I just did not need and or the 56 or more meds that were given to me for all type of conditions. I was given bags of samples for these I did not have, like Zoloft, and other meds because again that is additional money which is rendered to the system from the pharmaceutical industry. And at nigh folks we are then forced to watch television with all the recalls of meds and information on the very dangerous side effects while people are dying from become Guinn pigs!
Well the issue here is that from these condition comes the cause of many of us being out of work because of health related diseases coming out of the medical industry. I am out of work, I can not sleep because of the amounts of fluid rendered in my body, I am in pain, I gain weight not from eating but again from fluid, and there is nothing to do other than go in and out of the ER rooms because you panic due to the health you don’t have.
People within this society have little compassion for the sick, you may have worked all your life, and then one day you are placed in a condition that you can not sleep breath, walk and can hardly get around. People don’t think your sick because you attempt to go on because like in my case there is no one other than me to care for me, and I attempt to do as much as I can, you get little and or nothing from government assistance programs not qualifying for anything, you can not work and if your income is less than $500 a month which needs to include housing, food and basic needs what can you do – just keep going until you drop.
There are no jobs for those who are still able and have not been systemically destroyed by the Industries, they tell you to go to Churches and other groups for help and they have no clue on what you are talking about dealing with illness, they are involved in the words of Jesus and you know he had compassion and more but those who are serving him act as if you have committed a crime for asking for help.
Because of the health and the fact I was attempting to go back into one of those places because now I think my kidney’s and effected I went into one Church to ask for help, just Gas for my car so I could go to the hospital in Chicago were I had received better treatment and care I got so far and then saw I had little gas, and knew I would be stranded, yes I had gotten help in the past from others within good churches who came to my aid but for some reason I was faced with someone within the Church who I told my condition and that I just needed help to get to a doctor. And this is why I got to this place where there was a computer to type out that happened to me to explain the deep sorrow I feel for my brotherhood of mankind due to the lack of compassion.
I told this man I needed to go home and then I needed to go to the doctor tomorrow. He took information from me, and then knowing that I was sick told me that I would have to go home with hardly no gas to get there and then in the morning only if I have a verifiable appointed he would give 5 gals of gas to get to Chicago from Wheaton which is about 35 miles from where I stay. He was going to give me $5 gas is $2.61 a gal out this way. Then he said it was not his problem! This was a man within GODS Church and I am applauded. If Jesus came in how would he have greeted him?
There is something wrong within this society whereby the people in our face we can not help and the one in other countries we will but again not understanding that they are not getting the money much of it goes into the governments.
I sit here and I will be on the air in a minute to talk about this issue. I can not get work I have applied. I can not get someone to come in to help me because I do not qualify, I can not get housing assistance for the same reason.
But again I am a radio talk show host, and I will talk and tell what I see and it’s sad! Think about the men and women returning from Iraqi, they get nothing, think of the people down South who was in LA during the storm born and raised in the USA and called a immigrant, think about your parents and everyone else that are abused within hospitals nursing homes and then think a minute of why this happens. This is by no measure the way of God this is the way of the SON OF MAN 666.
Peace!
