Gosh this is such a traumatic way of losing your elderly father. 😢

That choked “Daddy…” at 6:00 broke my heart. I lost my mom to cancer almost 4 years ago and I dread the day I have to say goodbye to my dad, too.

A situation like this absolutely sucks because my mother had dementia.. other people got on my ass asking me why I couldn't take care of her.. back then it was about 2013.. myself and my husband was living in a crappy apartment.. on the third floor.. she had three Windows to fall out of and two sets of stairs to fall down she was safer in the nursing home.. my husband put his foot through the floor.. the kitchen sink was leaking the toilet would move around when you sat on it.. we have to do every single repair ourselves because the landlord was a slumlord.. the roof was leaking.. complaining did not help any.. because he had a big name so to speak.. about a year later I lost her and we ended up moving.. after my husband's mother passed away we moved away completely clean out of the state

It broke my heart seeing the daughter tell them to go ahead and Try to revive her father. CPR is absolutely brutal. Making drs and nurses attempt to resuscitate a patient with alzheimers and dementia is beyond cruel..when you work with that population first hand you see how poor the quality of life is at the end

We need to protect our elderly like we do our kids😢

My granddad had dementia, and Parkinson's. It took 15 years to finally finish him off, but one thing I'll remember is when his pacemaker got checked. The doctor said he probably had a year left with it, but if they replaced it, he could live longer. By that point, he'd forgotten all of us, could barely speak, and spent 23hrs a day sleeping. It was one of the hardest choices my Grandma had to make. They were married for 63 years by the time he died, but I know she would've done anything to keep him alive just a little longer.

People judging and saying it's cruel or unkind for the daughter to want to save her dad, unless you've been that daughter, you have no idea what it's like. The hope that they'll somehow be okay again never goes away.

That young dude handled his business. 😊

[KeithCatz]

It's very sad that someone whom they're love dies😢

[jjs]

This was heartbreaking, the poor daughter and her dad.

[RoteKirschbluete]

Could someone fill me in?
April said: "He lost his IV" Does that mean that someone took the needle out? The one that was supposed to give him his medicine?
Did his daughter pull the needle out?

[maryannjesuino]

Wow, staff is heartless. I hope real doctor's in hospital's aren't this cold.

[StellaMagic]

I wonder how he got fentanyl all over him. Could he have wondered into a building that got laced with it during manufacture?

[DefinitelyNotJay]

Whyd they just leave him in there like they know they have a hazardous substance next to him but why didn't they move him 😭

[WilliamTurneresq]

Touching fentanyl does not have any such effects.

[Wickededitz-wz]

Not trying to be mean but : the medical bills

[rieaweer]

If it was on his jacket I don’t see how he was exposed since he was wearing a shirt and fentanyl doesn’t tunnel through clothing this episode makes no sense

[CryInJulyYT]

What a loving “daughter” doesn’t first say anything about the Alzheimer’s which is crucial info. Then says she wants him to die then when he’s about to she wants to break his ribs and hopes he comes back so he can live in pain the rest of his life and won’t do the humane thing because he’s MY father. Also common obviously they weren’t saying he went out and smoked fetty he would have been dead dead no narcan if he had never done it before it was clearly accidental

[boogermaiden]

Maybe he was actually using fentanyl for pain? Fentanyl is for chronic pain....

[thomasmollett]

Is there really such a thing as ‘overexposed fentanyl exposure’? Poor clip title.
