Doctors, What Were the Most Haunting Last Words You've Heard?

doctors and nurses offered it what was the creepiest last words you heard from a patient right before they died not a doctor but i overheard an old lady whisper this to her old husband dying of kidney problems you are going to beat this you got away with murder this is nothing i work in a cardiac aiku we had a patient who had a pulmonary artery rupture a rare but known complication of the swan gans catheter one minute he was joking around with us and the next bright red blood was spewing out of his mouth his last words before he died were why is this happening to me it still haunts me years later i can't imagine how awful that was nurse here had a patient come into the ear with shortness of breath he started deteriorating in the air and then quite rapidly on the transport up the aiku we got him wheeled into his room replaced the aligns and tubes with our own and transferred him from the transport stretcher to his aiku bed he actually did most of the transfer himself he didn't say anything but just before he died he pleasantly adjusted his own pillow laid his head down and then his eyes went blank this man just made himself comfortable before laying down to die i'm a nurse and was previously working at an assisted living community on the dementia alzheimer's unit my very favorite patient had been declining pretty steadily so i was checking on him very frequently we would have long chats and joke around with each other but in the last two weeks of his life he stopped talking completely and didn't really acknowledge conversation directed at him at all i finished my medication rounds for the evening and went to see him before i left i told him i was leaving for the night and that i'd see him the following day and he looked me in the eyes and smiled so genuinely and said you look like an angel i thought it was so sweet because he had not seemed lucid in weeks he died the next morning it really mess with me ro that put a tear in my eye and i'm not the kind of guy to have that happen to me you obviously had a very positive effect on the final weeks of that man's life hold your head up high i don't care that i'm not a nurse but this was said by my dad to the nurse so close enough backstory dad had me's he'd had it since he was 18 diagnosed at 20 married my mom at 24 had me at 29 died 15 days short of 45. six months before that he was put on hospice he and mom were discussing funeral arrangements and my mom jokingly said you know tim the best thing you could do would be to die on a wednesday that way we can have the body prepared on thursday the viewing on friday at the memorial on saturday so more people could come the morning we got the call that it was time my mom two sisters and i were about five minutes too late after we said our goodbyes the nurse pulled my mom aside and asked if that day had any significance it's not even 6am yet so mom doesn't even know what day it is much less if it's important the nurse tells her it's the 21st of may number nothing is coming to mind the nurse told her that the previous day he kept asking what day it was and they'd tell him it was the 20th he'd look irritated but accept it that morning he asked what day it was and they said it's wednesday the 21st of may he smiled squeezed his favorite nurse's hand and was gone almost immediately it was memorial day weekend and we did just as he and mom had planned and despite many friends being out of town for the holiday we had over 250 people show up at the memorial service overflowing the tiny church more than it had ever been filled to his dying day he was trying to make things easier for our family i miss him hey out of this whole thread this one got me the most people who think of others in their last moments are really the example we should all live up to thanks for sharing hugs for you my dad fell into unconsciousness around noon we managed to get him into bed and he responded with a hand squeeze when i said i love you we watched and waited the rest of the day around 3am his breathing changed and as his breathing become more and more labored he bolted upright eyes wide open looked at his wife my sister then me smiled exhaled and died thank you for sharing that my first hospice case she was on morphe and started mock smoking she looked at me took my hand and said please in the most pleading voice i've ever heard i sat with her body until the corner arrived she has no friends or family only her lawyer showed up i've only done one hospice case since that's so sad she must have been so lonely get home safe little one it wasn't what he said he said the same thing to me anytime i had him as a patient for the evening it was how he said it he gave me this look and pause like he knew the dnr's in my experience always know when it's time it's creepy relieved they're relieved when it comes most of my patients were older and usually happy that they might see their friends and family again and relieve that the pain will be gone and that they won't be lonely ever again speaking of if you have older relatives that on buttholes please visit them they miss you cardiac aiku had a gentleman who was dnr on comfort care he was demented and was cursing like a sailor he seemed to have moments of clarity and would ask to see his brothers who were both past after a particularly worrisome heart rhythm he went back into a sinus tachycardia and looked me in my eyes and said hey what's your name what do you do here i'm a nurse after this he was quiet for some time then he said frick you and then he died about 20 minutes later i can only imagine what was going through his mind as he passed nailed it ugg i was a hospice nurse for many years super gratifying job for a nurse surprisingly as a regular nurse you were rarely offered thanks hospice nursing is an island into itself mostly peaceful lots of times sad often a blessing this is sad but also creepy and i wouldn't believe it if i hadn't seen it had a 20 year old kid gang member who was dying of primary liver cancer super unusual aggressive and terminal he was angry at the universe his family was there to comfort him but he literally spit in their faces every ounce of energy he had left was angry and mean and ugly his mom would beg him to lighten up and accept jesus into his heart he would swing at her and tell her to wear herself the family remained beside in hopes he would chill out at the end his last day hours moments he was angry the family called me into the room and told me they thought he was going he wasn't responding change stokes breaths eyes glossy and skin cold the end was imminent his lovely mother in her dearest attempt whispered to him to go towards the light to her jesus with his dying breath he opened his eyes looked at her and said if you're jesus a second or two later he slowly turned his head to the to the left and got the most horrific look on his face as if he was looking at something we couldn't see and horrified like in a bad movie his face contorted and he screamed with his last breath eyes wide oh crap oh crap oh hyonu then made a guttural noise and promptly fell back into the bed and died every family member was shaking and too frightened to speak and i left the room and took two days off i don't care if i never find out what he saw well he was angry at the idea of jesus right so maybe jesus showed up and took him to heaven and now he's up there sitting in a corner scowling my grandma died in 1989 my grandfather bob died around 1965. she never remarried never dated but she did have a great life when she was dying she yelled bob bob here i come oh honey i've missed you so much we always joked that we were glad she didn't yell bob who the heck is that elizabeth i'm coming to join you honey sorry but this came right to mind my mom was watching over my great grandfather in the hospital he'd been unresponsive for a day or so when suddenly he said it's about dang time you got here i've been waiting and then he died i found one of my comfort measures only patience standing at the side of his bed it surprised me because he had been mostly unresponsive during my shift i helped him back into bed and he asked me why all these people were in his room he suddenly became quite again and i noticed he wasn't breathing he was a dnr so there wasn't anything to do to try to bring him back looking back he may have been talking about me and the cna that was helping me get him back into bed but who knows what or who he was seeing the last minutes of his life still creeps me out a little when i think about it my father-in-law sat at his mother's bedside for days as she was dying she was in and out of it and spent a lot of time in conversation with her parents and siblings who were all long dead one of the last intelligible things she said was leave the gate open rodney i'm coming not a nurse not a doctor but i'm an apprentice funeral director we went to a nursing home on a removal and as we were walking down the hall one of the patients got antsy and opened the door to his room and saw us walking with the stretcher i'll see you next week boys and guess who we had to pick up the next week it never ceases to amaze and entertain me how gallows humor makes it into our lives dnr patience was on comfort cares was on a high dose of morphine and helleniting she would alternate between grasping for things not there and trying to climb out of bed she was too unsteady to walk so my job was to sit in the room and make sure she was safe she tried to get up and i went to ask her what she needed she grabbed my arm and pulled me down towards her face and said very angrily kill me that one flicked with me for a while i was in the hospital for a week on morphine after a while that stuff really starts to mess with you checked in on a patient before the end of my shift and she was in good spirits had been joking with me the whole time her condition was tenuous new track but she had been positive throughout i asked how she was doing and she replied by singing the old grey mare ain't what she used to be and wished me a good night i came in the next morning and she had coded and died overnight last year my grandfather started desperately pleading for his life with his german captors from world war ii the doctor present was smart and said in german you are free hair caticature you are free and then he died that was nice from the doctor came into an early shift and was handed over a patient who'd been very anxious and had a panic attack overnight he was anxious all morning but abs all fine ecg fine and so i just asked someone to sit with him to keep an eye on him reassure him for me he gets worse really panicky heavy breathing he's on his side in the photo position doctors will be in in 10 minutes so i tell him i'll get them to him as soon as they come in but ask if he'll lie on his back for me to help his breathing he tells me he won't make it until they get here and that he won't face the other way obs still all fine at this point but he's more agitated so again i suggest he move position for comfort and that's when he says i won't make it until the doctors get here if i turn to face the other way i'll die he repeated this a few times to me he arrested literally as the doctors walked in and he died on the side he'd been refusing to turn to i'm convinced he knew comma if i turn to face the other way i'll die that was my exact same thought the first time i had a panic attack back when i was a cna this one resident fell off a bike for exercise in pt and seized they came to and became lucid and said i think i'm dying but everyone in the room assured her that wasn't going to happen she seized up and was dead within minutes not a hospital story but according to my family my great-grandfather was unresponsive his final few days but suddenly sat bolt upright in the bed and then had a huge smile and raised his hands out as if greeting someone then he fell back and died it was the same with my brother but he didn't sit up he just smiled lifted his hands up and out and died i've commented this somewhere before but it stayed with me i'm an rn and while i was a student i was caring for a lady who had end stage renal failure had a dnar and was shutting down we were having a little chat well i was chatting away while helping her put on some lotion when she stopped looked over my shoulder and said bill's here love i've got to go and swiftly stop breathing read her old notes and bill was her deceased husband what a way to go i worked a bank shift in andy a few months ago a young man was in a horrible car crash his face was covered in blood and had a compound fracture of his clavicle but conscious he was screaming don't tell me she's dead where is she before succumbing to his injuries an hour later his girlfriend had died instantly in the crash coma old man he must have been in so much pain but he's panicking about her that would have been so rough i'm a hospital chaplain when i was a cpe intern a green horn i went to see a patient in the aiku who had 10 to 12 oranges on her table we talked about oranges for about 20 minutes and then she said something's going to happen i went to check on her the next day and the nurse mentioned that she passed the previous night i asked if anyone else talked with her and she said no so the last conversation she had was about oranges with me i kind of wish we talked about something else however the nurse said that was a worthy conversation that the patient wanted to talk about it made me feel better because oranges are foreshadowing someone is gonna die i was in the army in pakistan to for humanitarian support after an earthquake there was a very serious civil bus crash when a road gave was and a dozen kids were killed the first kid that we took off the ambulance and put on the stretcher to carry into artridge 10 said more like screamed something in under when we got there the doc asked the translators what he said it was the spiders are eating pepper we all just looked at each other for a second then just proceeded with trij honestly triggers easier when you don't speak a mutually intelligible language not a doctor or nurse but my grandfather was on hospice care at home and for two days he told us that he had to go with the little red-haired girl we didn't know what he was talking about when he died we cleaned him up and called the hospice nurse on duty who came right over i happened to be the one to answer the door and there she stood five for two or so with gorgeous blue eyes and the most beautiful red hair you've ever seen i couldn't even manage hello but my grandmother looked around me and said very cheerfully please come in he's been waiting for you sounds like the opening of some kind of feel-good ghost story i actually have three that stick out in my mind an 83 year old woman that said my mom's here are we going she died a few minutes later another older lady said i think i'm going to die today we took vitals everything seemed fine she was stable she had a heart attack a couple hours later not her last words but the last she ever said to me the last one is definitely the creepiest a nice old lady who told my cna she wanted to wear all white when asked why she said the man in black is here she looked in the corner of the room the cna looked but there was no one there that's when i came into the room we asked her to describe what she was seeing and she said he's an all black and he's got a top hat on then she whispered and his eyes are red while her eyes moved across the room to directly behind the cna like she was watching him move closer to us she died later that night but it was unexpected that room creeped me out for a long time after that sounds like she was talking about the hat man that is creepy as frick my grandfather's brother he died exactly six hours after my grandfather and just minutes before he died he said i'm going to see you again brother he didn't know at the time that my granddad his brother had died the family were going to tell him the next morning because he was having a bad day yup the day doesn't get much worse than that i'm working on my mother's eulogy for tomorrow's wake i'm going to go into detail for anyone that is smoking because i think it's something you should reconsider my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung and pancreatic cancer mass had developed around her vocal cords and made it hard for her to speak she smoked all of her life and it finally caught up with her it attacked her quick from time she was diagnosed to time she passed away it was less than two weeks first she lost her voice then she had difficulty breathing became weak she couldn't walk too far then she could only walk a little then nothing at all she had trouble eating the night she died i let her smoke her cigarette doctor said it didn't matter anymore and my sister and i took mom into her bed and i knew as did my sister it was the last time we spent a few hours with her holding her and i got up lost it a bit and my mom said don't be sad loudly with all her might i was fortunate to be with my mother at that time she was due to have hospice that monday but she did not make it lung cancer kills quickly i hope none of you have to deal with that consider it that next cigarette it's just a matter of time well enough preaching i'm sorry for your loss intubated pt wrote on a clipboard if this hurts i'll get you just before the surgeon pulled out the pt's chest tube post open heart surgery the tube ripped one of the coronary grafts he bled out in about five seconds grandfather died this year at 86 he was in nashville in a hospital for pneumonia i was working and was going to go down there the next day to see him my mother called me and said he was passing soon and if i wanted to talk to him i said yes and this was the conversation verbatim me hey papa it's marky how's it going grandfather i'm sick me can you hang on for a few more hours and i'll be there grandfather nope i'm out of here me i love you grandfather all right he died before the phone hung up really bothered me with how accepting he was of his own death i think about it every day you i love you him all right nice i'm a cst certified surgical tech in a specialized area of surgery that sees mostly people who are up there in age this is more of a general observation than a specific story about a patient but more than once i've been one of the last people to see someone's loved one conscious or even alive i never forget the ones that tell us about how they should have come in earlier or how they were scared and in a lot of pain before being put under by anesthesia i've also experienced seemingly lower risk patients never open their eyes again always tell your loved ones how you feel you never know if you may not see them again cath lab tech here this is so true the ones we don't expect to make it usually do then there's the ones that walk in joking with us as if nothing's wrong with them at all an hour later they're gone you really never know when your time's coming not a nurse or doctor but my beloved grandpa was in the hospital ill with pneumonia and sepsis i thought he would recover he was asking to see me and my family so i went with my parents my husband and my two little boys grandpa couldn't talk but he was lucid and was watching tv in his room he motioned for a pen and paper he scribbled something on a scrap of paper and gave it to my oldest boy who was about 12 at the time it said i love you when we were leaving the hospital it hit me me that grandpa was saying goodbye and i started to bawl like a baby grandpa had passed before i got home he held on just to see me and my boys one more time i still see him in my dreams only he isn't the sick old man i had known since my grandma died in 1977. he is about 40 in the prime of his life he is healthy and strong taking long energetic strides across the front yard of the house he shared with my grandma for 45 years i have never known him to look like that and yet there he is popping in to say hello it's funny that you say he is popping by to say hi a lot of people i know believe that when you dream of the dead they are actually coming to visit you not really creepy but you'd be surprised how quickly patients in death's door will pass when they've had a final moment with their loved ones one of my professors in nursing school called it permission to die no one wants to see their loved ones go but when the inevitable is at hand is better to send them off with good feelings don't let your loved ones feel guilty for leaving you behind let them rest in peace my first code as a nurse was of a middle-aged mother who we think ended up having a brain bleed i was trying to check her vitals and she was super agitated and had been all day she managed to bend her iv pole somehow she was ripping her gown off and the sheets off the bed and she'd yanked her heart monitor off i was trying to start a blood transfusion but needed to get her vitals beforehand which was impossible because she wouldn't stay still long enough for any of it to read i'd given her a sedative for what we thought was anxiety and i was praying it would kick and soon she kept grabbing my arm saying come here look at me help me with fear in her eyes that i will never forget i'm pretty sure i snapped back i'm trying which i of course wish was something comforting instead then she leaned back her eyes got droopy she shut to her mouth then snapped her eyes wide open but totally glossed over she took one last breath as a co-worker was helping me while i called the code patience with feelings of impending doom are a major red flag that scare the crap out of me she was going to die and knew it btw bending her iv pole super impressive i had a patient in my first week of being on a hospital floor as a cna she was really sweet and wanted to know all about my nursing school right before she went to bed i helped her move from the chair in the room she jokingly danced with me for a few seconds humming an old tune before sitting on the bed that she thanked me as she drifted off to sleep don't worry it will be okay referring to my trepidation about the new job i assume she was scheduled to go home and died from a complication of medications about four hours later the first song on the radio that morning as i got in my car was shut up and dance yeah that messed with me for a long time i'm not a doctor or nurse but i'll share my grandmother on her deathbed dying from cancer the afternoon she passed she sat up in her hospital bed and asked my father for a mountain dew she never drank soda my father loved the stuff my dad went to the vending machine and the hospital got them both a soda and they both drank it even with the hole in her throat she drank the soda and said something along the lines like wow that's delicious and passed away i tear up every time i drink a dew nice try mountain dew advertising department just kidding i'm sorry for your loss my brother died just a little over two years ago from cancer he was a medical doctor i'm a phd history so i guess we've got it covered as we were in the hospice room of the hospital my friend came in to visit on yooguna's last day he was a redditor too ug00n says my heart my heart is under the tv in my room bob goes it's cool man don't worry about it no my heart it's under the tv he died later that night couple days later we were gathering up his stuff and found his stash of pot under his tv lol he seemed to want to tell my friend because that's who was procuring pot for him never smoked before he was diagnosed and had fun with that during his treatment if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
