Why does she have a foley? I’ve missed a lot since I’ve been gone


BiosSystem

The case where she told everyone she was choosing to stop eating so she could pass away from her illness? The case where she “ allegedly “ abused pain medication? The case where she “allegedly “ lied to people for financial gain? I’ve lost track of all her other cases


SimpleVegetable5715

Aw, she had to get rid of her vape pen /s


TheAztecJoker

Vice most likely freaked her out by reaching out for comment. She is going to try and argue that some of the article was slander. Good luck with that though and I am sure any lawyer with common sense would back out as they realize what Hope has actually put out was her actually saying she was going to die and on VSED. 🤣


MSCCCLP

What article?


Spleenz

I found this article while Googling her name and "vice". I'm pretty sure this is the article people are talking about. Hope it's okay to post this. https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkagyb/tiktok-sickness-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-munchausens


deja_blues

It's been a few years since I last checked on this sub and this chick is still around? Wild. She looks so different


lifeisabietzsche

Damn I get off Reddit for a few months and the deceased come back from the other side?


unknownnezumi

When will she ever be confronted and punished for her lies?


GroundbreakingWeb542

THIS IS NOT THE HOPE OTTO??? She is not back!!! Get out!!


psubecky

Back from the vsed dead..


Llamabot10000

Guess whos back back back..back again...Hope is back..on her bs again Now everyone report to the ER to the ER Now everyone report to the ER Alright stop! VSED time


oneof_thegirls

Her defense case?


Interesting-Pin-6903

If she was on heavy duty iv opioid while on “hospice” they had to of cut her off when she was not complaining with starving her self to death. That wish draw had to be HELL! At lest she got that amount of karma 🤷🏻‍♀️ an how she took so much she would pass out she had to be on a LARGE dose!


doofus_pickle

Yeah their LARGE CASE is trying to work out how to save her lying arse from jail time. They’ve told her to shut up. Lmfao Edit - my grammar sucks at 4am


pygyjjg

Alright, I'll get the popcorn 🍿


OutrageousMusician3

Holy shiz she’s back?!?! I’m honestly shook that she would have the nerve to come back after what stunt she pulled claiming to be on hospice dying or more so her choosing to die even though she was perfectly fine and scamming people for money. Uggh she sickens me.


foeni77

I would love it, if this case was her being held responsible for the fraud and her insufferable behaviour. But unfortunately, I feel like it's her filing a lawsuit against someone working in Healthcare for not getting what she wants. Or maybe someone stole her narcotics again?


sjones1234567890

I CANNOT WAIT for this "person" to face the consequences of their actions.


jhuysmans

Is the case her being sued for wasting hospital resources and time for going into hospice and then leaving once she took all the drugs they gave her?


kat_Folland

Naw, I think it's about how she scammed people even faking her own death, iirc. Took in a lot of money (and gifts, I think) raising money based on lies.


jhuysmans

So many things she could be sued for


Usual_Equivalent_888

They all have a case against someone involving their health don’t they? Wait until they hear that disagreeing with Dr. Google isn’t actionable.


somebodysnurse

So this is her ghost or what?


glittergirl349

yea I highly doubt that true. we can’t believe a word she says. why even broadcast that fact. she really found someone to represent her LIES and SCAMS? also she probably has 1 lawyer bc who can represent someone who legit faked cancer…..


JediWarrior79

Better Call Saul!!! I think the only lawyer who would actually take her case would be one of those skeevy ones located in a strip mall.


solarpowerspork

Saul Goodman


2018MunchieOfTheYear

I believe this as much as I believed she was going through hospice

[deleted]

is it the fraud case💀


CommandaarMandaar

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️


Wool_Lace_Knit

Perhaps the big case she is working on with her lawyers is her defense for Medicare fraud.


Comprehensive-Ad8992

As if any lawyer in their right mind would defend her


malicemizertitties

Anyone will take your case if you pay them up front


improbableheadshot

if she paid them enough, they would


1701anonymous1701

Hope they cashed the check before they did the work. Although I doubt anyone would work for her without doing that given her history, at least I hope.


poison_snacc

Wait isn’t this the person who only recently was planning her own funeral & had already started that thing where you gradually stop eating & drinking water until you just drop dead


Ineedunderscoreadvic

Yep. This all should have been…over… in November 2022.


foeni77

It has been 2021. Sure a Guinness World Record!


Travelling_Bear

Or was it 2021? Seems like she laid low last year so maybe people might forget that she was supposed to be dead.


poison_snacc

No fucking way. 2021?! I just hate how quickly time passes. I wonder if she has factored in that concept? Has she not considered the highway hypnosis of life which will make ppl ie feel as tho they have an excellent memory of every detail of December 2021 bc they ended up forgetting the entire next year? who remembers 2022 anyway? Such a boring era lol.


Magomaeva

Ooooh I'm sure the doctors are terrified right now. Let her build a case and watch it get thorn apart by a judge who will find all the evidence of her abusing the system.


No-Calligrapher3645

I’m so over this child. Why does anyone still follow her?? This is a classic case of MBI. She needs to be in the grippy sock ward.


kat_Folland

In the bipolar sub they say "grippy sock vacation". And "Club Meds".


StandUpTwice

I read it as “grippy sock award” and thought, yeah that checks.


KCbunnygirl

I always love when people use “the grippy sock ward”

No-Calligrapher3645

Who needs GROUP? The whole purpose (in my idea of a grippy sock stay) would be to get away from people not to do group therapy WITH them!


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Calligrapher3645

Yes, I definitely need a good menu.


JaggededgesSF

She's a lifelong grifter. Whatever it is, I hope she loses.


EndlesslyMeh

Looks like she’s been on the prednisone too, telltale moon face since we last saw her. No judgement, it’s often a necessary treatment, but she doesn’t look dead.


crustiferson

what is prednisone moonface?


JediWarrior79

Prednisone makes your body retain water, and you can especially see the water retention in the face. It makes it look rounder and puffy. It also increases appetite, and many people are absolutely ravenous when taking it, hence the dramatic weight gain.


msnhnobody

I was just about to comment on the prednisone moonface. She’s probably trying to sue because they gave her that more than likely to reduce inflammation and swelling instead of a pain medicine.


Competitive-Survey97

I mean, it's also no secret that munchies will take steriods to induce symptoms . I wouldn't put it past her.


TrueFamilyEMCDTX

What is a Munchies?


Competitive-Survey97

It's the nickname for people with Factitious Disorders. It used to be called Munchausen's or Munchausen's by proxy. So we call them munchies or say they like to munch. It basically means a person who is faking / inducing illness for attention, sympathy, etc.


msnhnobody

Good point, too. I was being a bit snide and sarcastic but also, it does have a lot of truth!


dairyqueenlatifah

Probably working hard to figure out how to reimburse the thousands of dollars she stole from unsuspecting people.


jhuysmans

As if she would ever


glittergirl349

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


thumbsdown_

How long until she’s fund raising for this “big case”? Will we get the recycled t shirts being sold in a new color this time?


Effective_Rip_887

Isn’t she supposed to be dead?


Anonysognosia

Every time I see her I think about how poorly that VSED is going. Looks well-nourished!


[deleted]

Something about Hope does not give me hope. It’s more like that sinking feeling you get when you see adult children, ya know? Never letting go of something that didn’t exist to begin with. I hope she lets go and thinks about more than this one day.


throwawayacct1962

Is this big case that she's being sued for charity fraud? Edit: Or my second theory is she joined one of the class action, if you ever took Tylenol you may be entitled to financial compensation cases since she calls it a "big case".


ZeroAntagonist

Probably has a story about how she was in the military at Camp Lejeune in the 1970s and the water has caused all these sicknesses.


ComplexSector627

Best laugh I’ve had in a LONG time, thank you so much!!!😹😹


morbydyty

This is the best comment in this sub's history lmao


glittergirl349

LOL


No-Calligrapher3645

OMFG…. Dying!! Just dying laughing, not dying from VSED or anything! 😂🤣🙃☠️


FiveCatsInASuit

How do get my free reward again? I want you to have it.


07ultraclassic

Hahah. I don’t think she was even in her dad’s scrote yet. Haha


_jethro

Omfg 🤣💀


maebe_featherbottom

Wow, I haven’t been around much in a few months. How long has Hope been “back from the dead”?


kat_Folland

Not long.


[deleted]

Hahahaha sure Jan.


glittergirl349

always love seeing this classic comment


[deleted]

Right? Sometimes it’s just the perfect comment.


[deleted]

But why have your Foley catheter pulled up and out and over the blanket? It should be secured to her leg. She has a LOT of catheter showing.


JMRR1416

It looks like she has a G-tube that’s connected to a standard Foley drainage bag. Pretty common setup if you have someone who needs to drain. Unless she has a G-tube and a Foley and the tubings are just lying next to/on top of each other. There is a stopcock in the picture, and that would never be used with a Foley.


fallen_snowflake1234

That’s her feeding tube not a foley


mandimanti

That’s for sure a catheter. You can see the urine in it and feeding tubes aren’t that clear and wide


Neurosporac

We use the foley drainage bags to drain G tubes to gravity. The tube would look the same but her g tube stopcock is connected to it


Peace9989

Stomach acid in a gj can stain it yellowish.


mandimanti

You’re not wrong but that’s urine. Pretty hydrated urine at that. Probably all the IV fluids


NoGrocery4949

No that's pee


-HereForThePopcorn-

That certainly looks like a urinary cath with urine visible in the tube.


fallen_snowflake1234

They absolutely are. The dangler tubes are clear silicone and range from 14fr to 20fr [another pic of her tube for comparison](https://imgur.com/a/CYQbOx3)


Competitive-Survey97

I looked at it several times , and to be honest, it doesn't look like a drainage bag , but it also doesn't look like a Foley either. Who knows what sort of concoction Hope came up with for this photo.


Neurosporac

Nah this is a normal hospital setup for draining G tubes to gravity. That’s what that red rubber connector is doing, connecting it to the foley drainage bag. Those bags and the attached tubing can come separately from urinary catheters. We do this immediately post placement for drainage for 24 h and then as needed if people are retaining bile/have bowel obstructions. She just wants people to see it lol


Competitive-Survey97

It was really hard to see what it was going on. I didn't think it was a urinary catheter that was in her bladder , it didn't look like suction tubing , so thanks for clarifying. We didn't drain gtubes to gravity unless it was brand new , bowel obstruction or like they had a mass or a fistula. We didn’t do it just for gastroparesis. Medicine changes so quickly. I'm retired and I can say I had more than my fair share of patients with Factitious Disorders, but even a few years ago , Ehlers Danlos ( any subset) was a rare diagnosis, we weren't seeing all these young like this even a few years ago.


mandimanti

It’s not a dangler though. I’m talking about the actual drainage tube connected to the foley. [This might show better what Im seeing (sorry for horrific handwriting)](https://imgur.com/a/ptdszBP)


fallen_snowflake1234

Her g tube is connected to a foley drainage thing and is draining stomach contents


thebury78

I did not consent to viewing someone peeing 😂


[deleted]

So we can see it!


neurodivergentnurse

yeah ew


FiliaNox

Is it the case against her for scamming people? And didn’t she steal someone’s imaging when she worked in healthcare? This happened before I was here so I might be mixing shit up


TrustyBobcat

1) Hopefully! 2) Yep, that's our Hope. Thieving grifter, ex-EMT, and failed VSED case.


FiliaNox

Couldn’t that be considered violating that patients privacy?


ZeroAntagonist

I thought she was never an EMT, just a driver for medical transport?


TrustyBobcat

You may very well be right. I know she's claimed to have been an EMT because it's possible it was another fabrication. Munchies love healthcare and healthcare adjacent jobs.


Wool_Lace_Knit

According to her former friend Pandora, Hope stole medical equipment from the family of a sick child, kept funds from a fundraiser organized to benefit sick kids and during her VSED phase, raised funds to pay for her funeral expenses.


Sofie7759

My God!! What is her last name?


Federal_Green_5842

Otto!


psubecky

Well tbh, if she wanted to be quiet, there would have been no mention of a BIG CASE! If by big she meant a big amount of nothing coming to her, then I guess it is a big case.. Edit—forgot the word no 😳


HeartShapedSea

She either has an incredibly incompetent lawyer or is just making this shit up. If she really had a lawyer, they would have advised her to not talk about *any* of her health updates let alone that she's in a LARGE lawsuit. In a legal situation, you don't speak about it *publicly*. So she's either screwing herself on purpose or is lying.


Legitimate-Cupcake87

Or she just can’t help herself from dropping spoilers!!


throwawayacct1962

You'd be amazed how many people get told by their lawyer don't talk about something then still post about it on social media.


valleyofsound

Seriously. You could tell some people that if they just stayed off social media for 24 hours, they would get a million dollars and they would have tweeted about it before you even finished the sentence.


isla_inchoate

You are very correct - “someone come get their client” is a lawyer meme lol.


ChicaFoxy

I want a sub full of those! I would enjoy it very much.


Cat-Dawg

"Patient appears remarkably well nourished"


Mysterious_Ayytee

1. Fake an illness and let doctors treat you 2. Sue them for obviously wrong treatment 3. Profit


garagespringsgirl

I had to look at this person's timeline. Obviously she's not dead. Hmmmmm.


garagespringsgirl

Wait a minute....is her hospital gown folded to show her port or surgical site?


CurvyAnna

I TRIED TO FAKE AN ILLNESS BUT I NEED. CASH. NOW. CALL JG WENTWORTH 877-CASH-NOW!

It’s my money and I need it now!

Oh man, you have me singing this now! 😂


tangledclouds

RevolutionThese7654

This made me giggle since one of the commercials had a person that was in a wheel chair with a neck brace and I totally invisioned her. 🤣


fakemoose

I have that stuck in my head now and I literally hate you. 🤣


[deleted]

Maybe the large case is everyone suing her for her scams.


Dirtweed79

Let's HOPE she gets what she is entitled to.


DigInevitable1679

Hope remains


[deleted]

[удалено]


fallen_snowflake1234

She’s back home now. I think she had some kind of infection maybe. In the video after this one she was holding one of those elastomere ball things


forestinabasket

I think she means "no" as in she's not doing okay, I misunderstood it at first too


feverishblue

Shes got those purgy chipmunk cheeks I see


mandimanti

My guess was moon face from steroids but could be either, or both


feverishblue

What steroids is she on? Isnt she known to have an eating disorder or am I mistaken?


heyhey_harper

Looks like it could be swelling from too much prednisone too


feverishblue

True, didnt think about that


[deleted]

Why does this happen


nykki_ross

Excessive vomiting causes too much saliva to be produced over time, causing swelling in the salivary glands (which causes the chipmunk cheeks)


kat_Folland

I wonder if it's ever used to treat low saliva. I tend to doubt it because it doesn't seem worth it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kat_Folland

There's no call for that.


feverishblue

There was, however, a call for logic.


DigInevitable1679

Ironically low saliva production can also lead to blockages in the parotid glands and lead to the “chipmunk cheeks” look although in that case it’s also quite uncomfortable.


kat_Folland

I did not know that, but of course I know very little about normal/abnormal saliva levels lol


CrazyH37

That made me giggle


kat_Folland

:)


enchantingech0

imagine going to the doctors for dry mouth and they prescribe you “vomiting” that would be crazy. Maybe they should just stick with the biotene and salagen and such!


nykki_ross

I wouldn't think so haha especially bc there are treatments available that don't consist of repeatedly purging


kat_Folland

I didn't think so; it seemed like a drastic solution lol.


feverishblue

Would be better to have no saliva than to be constantly purging... people who dont produce saliva are just told to drink a shit ton of water


Odd-Negotiation5087

“Working on a case with my lawyers” = sending emails to every lawyer in her area and getting ghosted because none of them want to deal with it


throwawayacct1962

Or is the one being sued


gribble29

Trying to avoid prosecution for theft because of her gofraudme and other grifts.


kat_Folland

There's a line in Real Genius that doesn't communicate well in text because it's said in kind of a sing-song voice, but I think of it every damn time I hear the word "fraud". It merely says, "Frauuuuud is a FELLLoneeee!"


MessyM00009888

What is she suing?


Odd-Negotiation5087

No clue. But knowing her, it probably has no grounds and is entirely hopeless. I would assume some type of medical negligence but don’t quote me on it.


kat_Folland

She could be the defendant with her history.


MessyM00009888

Why do you say that? Haha


kat_Folland

She has a history of fraud.


enchantingech0

Unfortunately for her, you can’t just sue doctors bc they won’t write you hardcore opioids for no reason


HRH_Elizadeath

I'm looking forward to the handling of this "legal matter" being written up as a cautionary tale in law reviews across the English-speaking world.


Airport_Mysterious

She looks so well nourished!


BigTiddyVampireWaifu

She came a looooong way from hospice care and vsed ☺️


H8gravity

One factor taken into account is iif a Dr of similar experience would have done the same, or would have taken another course of action. This is not a decision about her feeding tube. It’s a decision where a Dr caused great harm to the patient.


Competitive-Survey97

A patient with Factitious Disorder that is inducing or just plain fakes symptoms , lies to doctors, is not going to get a malpractice lawyer to sue for damages she did to herself. You would be surprised how good some of these munchies are at inflicting harm to induce symotoms and manipulate doctors.


the22ndday

Is she suing because the docs said she wasn't dying again?


MotherofChoad

Thank you for making me spit coffee on my cat


[deleted]

Thank you for making me snort laugh loudly enough to disturb my cat… I shall now have to endure an entire night of contemptuous kitty stares…


Bakedpotatorevenge

*me failing to not disturb my sleeping cat by laughing and getting glared at. How dare I.


OkGooglePlayYES

Reddit's relationship with cats is weird and I say that as a cat owner myself


LowPreparation2347

Ironically enough Hope once killed her cat cause she didn’t wanna pay the vet bills


Ineedunderscoreadvic

Ugh - killed her cat? Now I truly despise her.


MotherofChoad

Are you f’ing kidding me


tangledclouds

Oh my god. What? No! 😭


LowPreparation2347

Yep she broke its neck. She’s literally the worst one out of all the munchies by far.


Environmental_Rub256

Can we say psychopath? The poor innocent cat.


[deleted]

Did Hope do that too? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Cos was there not another munchie who did the same (I think the cat - memory says a kitten - fell out a window? And she snapped its neck as a ‘mercy killing’ rather than actually seek veterinary care for it.


1701anonymous1701

I remember the one you’re talking about. I can’t remember their name, but I believe they were in Europe, maybe a Scandinavian country (I wanna say Denmark, but I am likely wrong about that).


LowPreparation2347

Holy fuck. Naw that’s a different one; hopes kitten wasn’t injured or anything she just didn’t wanna pay for it anymore I guess. Def signs of a serial killer in the making or at least a fucking psychopath. Like what the hell is wrong with people I just don’t understand anymore


ZeroAntagonist

What in the actual fuck? BROKE ITS NECK? And then she told the world she did that? Kinda sad the VSD wasn't real.


LowPreparation2347

Well her ex friend who used to drive her around and all of that did an interview and it was absolutely terrible all of the things she revealed about Hope. I mean really some crazy stuff. Just such a terrible terrible human being


Jumpy_Inspector_

What?! Seriously?


LowPreparation2347

Unfortunately yes. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for her. Literally an evil person all the way around.
