Original caption

DaVita dialysis center in Novi is currently closed because 4 people have been hospitalized and 1 found passed away in their car outside the clinic center. My dad was recently admitted in a. Fib with RVR and has a pending outpatient watchman procedure — prayers are so welcomed please. I’m at a loss for words and only have one purpose with this post. Bringing more media attention and awareness to negligence DaVita has towards their vulnerable dialysis patients. The more awareness that’s spread, the more pressure CEOs will have on conducting a more ethical business. I fear for my dads safety and the safety of many others who use DaVita clinics in general. Poor hygiene, water, and unsafe working conditions are unacceptable. #davitadialysis #dialysis #hemodialysis #kidneytransplant #fyp @wearfigs @WXYZ Detroit @Fox News @Detroit Lions @Detroit Free Press @The Detroit News @Detroit Tigers @gretchenwhitmermi @Abdul El-Sayed @Smileys Spuds & Corn

Transcript

What did you think when you heard that there were multiple people impacted and one person had died? With everything I'm going through scared me. So that is my dad and I'm so incredibly upset because he has been talking about how this dementia has been pretty short-lived and that is quite serious. Imagine knowing that the person that you sat right across went to their car and passed away. First of all, s centers are supposed to do vital signs sometimes every 30 minutes. They have the capacity to draw blood work and before they get discharged, they assess the patients and see what kind of symptoms they have. I feel that in my heart of hearts there is some negligence going on because how are there four people who were hospitalized. My dad went into AVH with RVR, which can be a very common complication when too much fluid gets removed from dialysis, but that is the point of taking blood pressure in vital signs. They would be able to identify by just taking his heart rate before he exits that it would fluctuate up and down and up and down. That is an indication to call 911 and get that patient safely to the hospital. My dad ended up going to a shift, working in a food truck alone. In the heat and Michigan. Feeling very weak and light headed because can present that way. And he was just as soon as he left that clinic, he felt very uncomfortable. So thank God, he was very in tune with his body to be able to even know the call 911. Not everyone is that lucky. That lady who walked to her car was not that lucky. And then there are three other people outside of my dad that were also hospitalized, one who still stays in the ICU. I am so upset because I could have lost my dad. This is not something that I feel like I could take lightly. He was hospitalized for four days, went four days without pay. And I'm extremely thankful that he is actually one of the lucky ones that stayed alive, but What if he didn't? What if he didn't know to call 111? What if he didn't listen to his body just pushed through through work? I live all the way in California and he's out in Michigan. He could have passed away and that is so frightening to know. It's hard to see my dad go on these news interviews crying, almost crying, talking about the very traumatic experience that he had just gone through and still having to show up to work, getting into his food truck and serving people because he still has bills to Okay, like I'm incredibly proud of this man. But I also want to hold this Diasenter extremely uncommon because what the hell? I again am lucky. My dad is still here. And I feel for the family who had loved ones passed away. I am so sorry. And I really hope that you guys check in on your loved ones who are undergoing Diasenter and making sure that they are doing okay because scary things like this could happen to them.
