@@blehblehblehdracula that really pisses me off especially cause the state where I live has the highest death rates when it comes to birth (mom and baby) so the birthing process needs to be taken completely seriously especially if you're in a hospital. To ignore a woman in labor is ridiculous and dangerous.
The thing is, even if someone _is_ an addict, and they come in with medical issues as a result of their substance abuse, they still deserve the same level of care. If someone needs help, *they need help*. No matter what caused their condition, they deserve professional and careful treatment. Wtf is up with people.
Agree 100%. Was treated unfairly at a hospital in my area for uti that turned into a kidney infection that was borderline septic and barely got the care I needed because "opiate addict" was listed on my chart. Was supposed to recieve over a weeks worth of IV antibiotics and was discharged (more like kicked out) 5 days early because they didnt wanna deal with someone who was an addict. Wrote me a script for antibiotics and was back a week later only to be accused of "seeking pain medication" since I was given dilaudid for pain during my first stay. Went to the better hospital in my area and they told me if I hadn't come in that day, I could of been dead. Adhdgdjdofhfndldm I hate biased, ignorant doctors. God bless the ones at the other hospital for being understanding and saving my life.
Yeah. There was once this homeless man who basically poisoned himself with the alcoholic hand dispensers in the hospital. Alcohol in the dispensers is a different chemical than drinking alcohol in beer or wine. He had collapsed in the staff parking lot and my mom saw him after work when alot of her colleges were already helping him. Even if someone is addicted they deserve help thats what health care is for
@@grmpEqweer a lot of people don't realize that though. I used to think addicts brought it on themselves, a position not helped by the fact that my father refused to acknowledge his alcholism (and still won't) despite it putting him in the hospital twice. Then I went to a treatment center for my mental health issues, and the majority of the other patients had subtance abuse issues. It was a really eye-opening two months. Some addicts are like my father, who will probably drink until it kills him, but many can get better with help, so it's important to try to help.
Y’know if Hippokrates were alive today, I think he’d have a thing or two to say to all of these malpractices. First rule of doctoring: First, do no harm. While the Oath doesn’t specify it in this way, that is the general idea. Paranoia isn’t paranoia once something happens to prove you should have been even more careful. If a patient comes to a doctor saying there’s something wrong based purely on intuition or even a hunch, it is a doctor’s obligation to make sure that everything is fine before dismissing anything. I’ve suffered from fainting spells. Heaven forbid that I say that I’m lightheaded and the walls are tinted yellow and feel like I’m going to pass out and someone says “it’s ok. Keep walking. You’re fine.”
Not an emergency but a doctor once accused me of faking fainting. So she just let me lay on the floor and walked away till another doctor picked me up and helped. I was 7
Lakein Lejeune this person *was* 7 and I believe I knew what fainting was when I was 7. I'm not going into details why but please don't ridicule people over facts that you only see around you. There are billions of people out there so I don't think you alone could know that "fact"
Not the only one and the worst thing is if so called traditional medicine makers here any of these stories then more dumbasses or desperate people might get tricked or scared into not go to see a real doctor
I was told that having painful cramps was ‘no big deal’. One ER visit later, I woke up and was told that I was found unconscious on a bathroom floor and could only cry in pain in the ambulance. All because I had cramps. Another time I was told I was overreacting about having strep throat. Another Er visit and I had 103.5 temp and severe case of strep. I kept a positive outlook when I had cancer. Apprently I was ‘faking it’. Literally threw a copy of the paperwork diagnosing me, my medical bracelet at the ‘friend’ who was said I was faking it. And then showed the numerous selfies I took with my doctor and nurses throughout the process. When in doubt, hit them with evidence.
Cramps are nearly always going to be atleast mildly painful, but if they are so painful you pass out, are crying, throwing up, or anything like that, you need to get that checked out. Something could be wrong.
My dr threatened to call CPS on my parents when I had a severe case of strep for not taking me to the drs sooner. I was 12. And still remember everything clearly. I had the tiniest bit of a sore throat the night before but not enough to slow me down even a little. Woke up that morning barely able to breathe. My father immediately called my drs emergency line asking if he should take me to the ER or into the office. My parents were made aware there was a problem the literal minute I became aware. And they immediately took action. Imagine my fathers surprise when later that day he received a call from my vice principle asking why I only attended my first two classes that day and informed him they believe I committed a theft at the school that morning. Apparently the theft occurred the same time my dr was trying to get a culture.
@@mrspokitstheriot477 What happened next? Did the VP get their ass chewed out seeing that you weren't at school at all and under the supervision of hospital staff?
@@cecejamesable my dad made VP cry and he ended up quitting. My dad was a retired police officer who worked for most local agencies as their polygraph examiner. My mom also used to work for the district whereas this was that VP's first year. They were the wrong parents to fuck with.
Going along that same train of thought, children 15 months and younger that required surgery, were never given anesthesia until roughly 1986 because it was believed that "babies don't feel pain"
@@kittycatzuka my mother in law stated loudly that children don't get headaches. like I did something wrong that caused my kid pain.... I just looked at her like she was crazy and informed her that I got headaches since I was my kid's age.
There’s unfortunately a lot of misogyny in medicine. Male doctors send women home with a heart attack in 6 out of every 9 cases. They also give women sedatives instead of painkillers. Men wait an average of 49 minutes for pain treatment. Women wait an average of 65 minutes for the same thing. There’s a hidden epidemic of “obstetric violence,” where women giving birth are physically abused by medical staff, screamed at, subjected to procedures like “the husband stitch” without her consent, and sexually abused by male doctors. 40% of women get PTSD after “complex” childbirth. Women’s pain is seen as unimportant and not as severe as men’s. Pain for women is “expected.” Our voices simply don’t count. They never have. Women’s history is erased from view. “The Penicillin Girls” and countless other women who changed the medical world remain unknown. We instead learn about men best known for hoarding the most resources. Women will only matter when society believes we do. Until then, we should force them to hear us.
The doctors oath is "do no harm"....if you tell a patient they are faking it even though they haven't been fully tested or examined...you are actively doing more harm than good
You watch too much TV poopsie. you don’t even know the Hippocratic Oath, and it’s not like they have to sign the Hippocratic Oath before they get their license.
@@codename495 Most doctor's don't swear the Hippocratic Oath anymore, but most, if not all, that graduate from medical school swear to some form of oath before proceeding to the professional scene. So there's still an oath there, its just not as big as it was in the past.
My friend, Dan, had no idea he had a congenital heart condition until he came out of emergency surgery for an aortic dissection. He survived that, only to die during a surgery a month later. He was only 28. There is a very simple, noninvasive test hospitals can perform within 48 hours of a child's birth to check for congenital heart defects, but it isn't standardized, even though these defects affect 1%. It may not seem like a lot, but, for example, the hospital my one cousin had her kids, had about 50 babies being born there a day (NJ). That is, more or less, 180 children born a year, with a heart defects, at just that one particular hospital. All they have to do is hook a pulse oximeter to the end of one of their fingers for a bit. It can save so many lives, and so much heartbreak. Dan was the nicest guy in the world. He taught kids in underprivileged neighborhoods, and made a huge difference in their lives.
My twin sister had 2 holes in her heart. She was born with it. It took the doctors 10 FLIPPEN YEARS to figure it out!!! Also my mother has a stomach ulcer. Doctor pumped her full of drugs to stop the pain, and told her "quit doing drugs". My younger sister had an ovarian torsion. Doctors told her "eh you're not in pain, you're just faking" the pain came in waves. She wasn't having a pain wave. And you need to know my younger sister has a really high pain tolerance. She was in tears. She had to FAKE IT in order to get help.
@@twigtoyoulater yea we are good. I'm actually am the only one in my family who hasn't has surgery. My dad got into a motorcycle accident, and had surgery to fix is wrist. My mom has had multiple surveys for numberus things. And my sister's both had surgery and got their things fixed. I do have back problems but eh
to be fair, when I was 11 I began to pass my first kidney stone. Was doubled over in pain, complaining of how badly my back hurts. My parents thought I was faking to get out of helping them carry in groceries. They didn't believe me until I threw up from pain and passed out in the bathroom.
The trouble is, they're all doing this thing called a "differential diagnosis" that they're taught to do in med school--there are thousands of illnesses that could cause a general symptom like lethargy, palpitations, or pain in extremities, so to avoid running thousands of expensive tests, they check the patient's age, sex, weight, family history where available, then figure out which conditions "win" the contest of "most-likely" given this data. Rare diseases are basically never gonna win unless they are documented to run in the family, and the doctor recognizes the pattern.
omg I am literally fighting a dr right now, because I have had the symptoms of something and a locum dr told me that he is pretty sure I have this rare disorder due to an old head injury and now this dr is basically saying I can't possibly have that rare disorder after a 2nd dr actually agreed with the locum that yes that is what I am suffering from, it can be a nightmare sometimes
Actually had this happen to me. Except it was diagnosed by the top specialist in the US (at least one of the best globally) and local hospital said despite genetic testing & diagnosis that it wasn’t real. That went on from about 2010ish until January 2018 when I was contacted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in DC for studies. The hospital wasn’t that bad tho, one of the doctors saved me from 107 degree fever and 211,000 ferritin. To put those into perspective, normal temperature is about 97 and most machines can only read up to 50,000 ferritin. Said disease (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-so obscure Google autocorrect thinks those aren’t words-causing the fever) turns out to almost always be lethal when combined with the disease I was “faking” (mitochondrial disease). Lifesaver doctor is now in Louisiana (I’m in Alabama) and has been for a year. Haven’t had a flare-up since December 2016 after I almost died in August of that year.
Fluffy Fwaff I have literally had a cardiologist tell me that I couldn’t have a condition because ‘it’s too rare’. Like he has some kind of quota and once it’s full no more people can have it. I went elsewhere and yeah, turns out I’m one of those rare people. Thinking back on it still makes me angry.
the epi-pen story made me mad and i don’t even have allergies lol, it’s just the fact the security guard was trying to use the pen on the girl’s arm 😭😭, even i know that it’s supposed to go in your thigh
As a guard, I would tell my employers that injecting someone else on duty was an extremely high liability risk action for me and I REALLY REALLY would not want to do that. Basically I'm only going to inject/ treat an unconscious person under a good Samaritan legal umbrella, preferably on the phone to 911, and never if the person can do it themselves. It could be a bad injection, and then I'm on the hook. Nope nope nope nope nope.
i find that so strange tbh... here one of the first things we're taught when allergies start being mentioned in health class is "blue to the sky, orange to the thigh"
Doctor in TV-shows: HMMM this mysterious disease* sure is mysterious! I will not rest until I have figured out exactly what is going on here! Doctor in reality: um lol no u faking it
Me: *routinely hurts my knee just walking or in sports* Specailist looking at MRI and X-rays: you're faking it. You're not getting worse, you want drugs. Me: I havent been taking more than Tylenol.... Specialist: you're lying and I am dropping your case. *Years later* Chiropractor does x-ray: yeah your HIPS are dramatically lopsided. Which would explain the knee, back, and leg pain completely. If you do not get this corrected you will need multiple surgeries to do so within the next few years at most.
I would fucking EXPLODE on a doctor if something like what the people in the video suffered happened to me, I would just leave any professionalism behind and just start throwing the loudest yells and insults I could do, making sure everyone hears how much of a dumbass that doctor is, as we all know, ten years in med school doesn't heal stupidity
If a doctor (non-hospital) tells you you’re better off than you actually are, call an ambulance and go to the hospital immediately because that doctor’s not worth your time. If you’re already at the hospital and they misjudge, demand what you know you need until you get it. If you never get it and something seriously wrong happens, SUE THEM.
Unfortunately you sign those rights away at the door for most things. Unless it's a large malpractice suit you likely dont stand a chance. And even then, hospitals have legal teams on retainer just for this. I almost lost my ability to walk thanks to a shitty doctor and she walked away free.
My mom had meningitis when I was in third grade, the doctor thought she was faking to get drugs, (Which i don’t think is really possible) when they finally realized she was going to die in like a day they decided to give her the medicine and she ended up being fine
My doctor didn't dismiss my meningitis as attention seeking, because I was a toddler and barely even moved. He just thought it was a flu but I was like 4 hours short of death in the hospital. I don't blame the doc. He's a great doctor and I only showed flu symptoms.
i was at the hospital after a mental health emergency which had been a three week long manic episode, untreated. they insisted it was “all in my head” like ya. my brain’s sick lol ofc its in my head
So stupid. My doctor listened when I told her I didnt wanna say I had depression but it was they only way I could describe it. Once I was on meds for that my OCD and anxiety spiked cuz the depression was controlled. My doctor has treated my moms side of the family since like I was born (I'm 24) so she has been aware of the family history with mental and physical illness. She caught it right away
But of course told my dad I had depression and was on meds his response, "what do you have to be depressed about?" Yea cue me screaming into the phone (he lives 8 hours away and I was 17 at the time) that our relationship may factor or y'know the HUGE family history of depression on both sides of my family >.
When I was fifteen, I had back pains for months. I casually mentioned having had jumped off the bed and landing on my ass hard to my mom, so she assumed that was the cause of my symptoms. My doctors found no reason to disagree with her and had two shots of cortisone to the back which was pretty traumatizing because I'm autistic and have a severe fear of needles. Unfortunately, this doesn't help. Eventually, it gets to the point where I can't even stand up straight. We were visiting my aunt, who lives two counties away, so we ended up going to a hospital near there instead of my regular doctor. The guy who comes into examine me is a medical student, and instantly I can see my mom is worried that he doesn't know what he's doing. I tell him my symptoms and how we went to my regular doctors whose efforts were unhelpful. Without missing a beat, the medical student said: "have you been tested for a UTI?" Instantly I can see my mom mentally kicking herself. I get tested and come back positive for an upper urinary tract infection. Literally by the next day, I'm feeling a hundred percent back to normal. My mom still apologizes to me for not realizing it sooner, but I don't blame her. That medical student will forever be a badass in my mind though. The guy correctly diagnosed me when two doctors with about sixty years of experience between them failed to see, and he wasn't even a doctor yet. Amazing.
Several years ago, my husband was having lightening migraines- severe pain that hits like a lightening bolt, last for just a few minutes, then disappear just as quickly. I knew lightening migraines were bad, I just didn't know why, so I made him go to the doctor. Doctor, immediately suspects hubby has a hole in his heart- and he was right!! This very specific hole causes lightening headaches, and will eventually cause all kinds of damage, and he guessed it in one!! It was absolutely amazing!
@@lavonnegreene8911 Also because they learn fresher/more recent knowledge that those old fools (from OP's experience at least) may have not known, or forgotten.
I'm happy you got the treatment you needed. I, too, had a uti that turned into a kidney infection and was one step away from going to my bloodstream (aka blood infection, aka sepsis, aka deadly af) and because "opiate addict" was written on my chart, they only gave me 3 days worth of IV antibiotics when I should have recieved more than a weeks worth and "discharged " (more like kicked me out) early cause apparently addicts arent people and arent worthy of medical care. Ended up going to the better hospital in my area and they told me if I hadn't come in that day, I could of been dead because I was septic at this point. So thankful they were understanding. I hate biased, ignorant, incompetent doctors. They hold people's lives in their hands.... I just dont understand why they'd pick a profession like this if they act and treat people in this manner. Ugh. End of rant.
Tests cost money, and most importantly, time. Time that some people really don't have much of. If a doctor doesn't think a test is necessary (not because he just feels like it, but because he was trained to decide such things) it will not be performed, in case there is somebody that definitely needs it. The shotgun approach is not an effective one. There are many people who need help. All that being said, doctors are people. People fuck up.
I broke my ribs when I was 7. Told my mom. She said I was faking. I still had to go to gymnastics. Later, had an abdominal x-ray (i had appendicitis). Two healed ribs, no doctors visit. Cps called. Fun times
To be honest, the one that pisses me off the most is when they say, "oh, you're just a TEENAGER! LOLOL you're just looking for ATTENTION! You don't have problems, you're just looking for attention!" That royally offends me, because it carries with it the implicit attitude that the kid doesn't deserve attention. Or empathy. A teenager wants attention? So WHAT? GIVE THEM SOME ATTENTION. Otherwise you're going to be one of those parents who wakes up every morning for the rest of your life and then remembers, "oh... yeah... my child committed suicide..."
“it’s just growing pains!” Right, okay Linda. All kids go through that fun stage where their joints sublux and shift and need to be physically snapped back into place.
I dated a guy who was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was in middle school. After a particularly rough gym practice he was rushed to the hospital they ignored it at first but later diagnosed him
A friend of mine has a moving hearth, she didn't tell her friends and just fainted one day while on a camp. It took us 2 hours to hunt down her brother who could tell us what happened. She could die 3 years from the last time they checked her hearths movement in her chest.
My severe case of hypothyroidism was just pushed off as ”mentally made up pain and sickness” meaning doctors told me that my dizzyness, nausea and tiredness were just symptoms of my diagnosed anxiety/panic disorder and that i was only faking pains so i could get time off school. That continued for a year, me going to different public healh care (because it's free) doctors, them only asking me some questions, reading my older doagnoses of mental illness and them just telling me that it's just mental and it will go away if i want to get better mentally. Finally i went to a private doctor and paid 250€ and got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. He asked me actual questions and was genuinely concerned. He took my blood samples and was shocked at how i was still up and able to work and go to school. He said that people with the same blood test results were often in the hospital. I'm still mad at how the feelings of my own body that i felt were pushed as mental. I spent a year in my life just like a zombie, not doing anything and feeling sick all the time. I wish i could get that year back.
How high was your tsh if you don't mind me asking ? (I have a rare form of hypothyroidism (and other health issues who were there previously but i'll keep that private ) so i feel you :( )
I am lucky that the people around me growing up did not brush everything aside, like my craving for milk or always being tired. While I do think I have mental issues and I know I am stressed as heck, they did tests and put me on medication for hypothyroidism. Thanks to this it was found my mom and younger sister do too. ( and my aunt with hyperthyroid, had to have it killed) the doctors I have met seem to take all the high risk factors and genetics into thought thankfully. But I have also had my shaare of nurses, ER vists nd doctors passing things off and ' your fine, wasting my time,, thx for the visit and monay buh bye' for serious issues though. Then there are the school nurses who I hate as everyone of them seem incompetent and do not believe you being sick unless you throw up in their face and then oh, you could just be faking it. AND they have been females in my experience but are they really if they can't believe you when you come down barely able to function because of severe period pains? I don't understand why, as a female who did not have those issues would take it as just over reacting? Actually thaaat goes for anyone. People who never experienced it so they call baloney? That i hate. Just stupid. Dont know why I ended up ranting here but okay then. I am sorry it was just waved off for you. It can get really serious/ life threatening too. After I had been off my thyroid medicine for over 4 months ( because they may take seriousness and push for testing, but they suck at getting rhe medicine monthly and making appointments, no matter how much you ask / remind/ tell them too) I wound up really sick and had multiple ER visits becaue of episodes I started having, seeing I have hypothyroidism and have not taken it,, they checked and of course my levels for whatever its called I dont remember, they checked for and it was not good. They said I need to be taking my medicine and something aabout a coma? I dunno but anyways Ill be done here😅 Wish easily testable things were just delt with
It's proven 9/10 people chase pain they lean into where the pains coming from. (Ex: stomach hurts cradle it) (Ex. Heart hurts clutch it) (Ex. Hair being pulled lean into it) (Ex. Arm hurts grab it)
Mine was completely instinctual. I had gotten into a car wreck and when I had my mind back with me I was sitting in the drivers seat my hat knocked off glasses tangled in my hair and cradling my wrist. Before this I had never broken a bone before or anything really that serious but I knew not to try and move the whole arm pretty much. I had to fight even more not to move it because it was my dominant hand.
Every time I'm in pain (which is often because I have quite a few health problems) I'll either hold the area that's hurting (Ex. my arm) or cradle it and push on it (Ex. holding my arms around my stomach and pushing on it) and it always helps until the pain goes away or until I take painkillers
I always did this until I got an abscess in my tooth and my whole chin was full of puss and fluid, pressing it was the only way to make the absolutely agonising pain go away but then leant that by doing that, I was spreading all that fluid lower and basically making it worse for myself so now I’m too scared to press on pain ever again lmao
Jessica Jennings that’s really funny because when i actually broke my leg i thought it was a pulled muscle and actually tried to walk it off and didnt go to the hospital until i realized the pain didnt go away after and hour and a half
featured: a venn diagram of doctors refusing to do their jobs, doctors that have no business being doctors, & people that deserve to get pimp slapped. it's a circle.
Yup I don't feel pain at all except my balls. Doctor said my parents were drug addicts and wanted pain medicine untill a a doctor said my right arms has got 12 deep lashes on it and my left arm had 50 cuts 6 being extrmly deep. I got a lot of stiches the nurse's got fired because they were stealing drugs and wanted to kick us out to keep their drug supplies big I found out because I saw them stealing drugs told a police officer their. I got into a brawl saved my friend from getting cut over 70 times. That's how I got my injures.
@@ainzooalgownoverlord8913 not just typos, what you wrote doesn't make any sense. It seems like each sentence is completely unrelated to the last. What are you trying to say?
Yeah I tore my acl and was told that I “probably tweaked my hamstring” and to walk it off. So I did. And played volleyball for another 3 hours. And then I had to get surgery 2 weeks later.
Levi-Ren Taylor same here. Why do these assholes even try to get these jobs? Clearly they don’t care to do their job. Clearly they don’t _want_ to be doctors, since they don’t do their job and brush off everyone as faking so that they can do nothing all day.
This is absolutely terrifying have a nice day. Especially hearing that most of these are women and God knows how some doctors don’t want to listen to women,,,
I remember sitting around the table in our staff lounge telling my coworkers about the doctor conclusively calling my symptoms (muscle spasms, palpitations, hot flashes, etc.) “anxiety” without even trying to placate me by listening to my heart. My mom (she’s an RN and was pissed he didn’t take me seriously) had to sit on the phone with me and drill me at length before we realized I was having a dangerous reaction to something I was ingesting. Then everyone started telling their stories. Every woman in there had had at least one serious medical problem that had been misdiagnosed as “anxiety.” This included one woman who really had ovarian cancer (she died months later, and had lost precious time before the diagnosis), and another who had almost hemorrhaged to death after going home from delivering a baby and her bleeding not being taken seriously by a doctor over the phone. Another had been having serious pain over a long period of time, but had been poo-poohed by doctors as it being psychological for months. She actually had to have her gallbladder removed. I wish I could remember more of the stories, but it was every woman-and the men in there all had similar stories about their wives/moms, etc. It’s pretty scary, really. It has affected when I go to the doctor, too. I had an excruciatingly painful problem that I was worried would end up being nothing, so I put off going in, thinking it would get better. It didn’t, and I had one of the most painful medical conditions you can have and ended up in emergency surgery. Even when I was dry-heaving, sweating, and shaking in pain, I was still afraid it was not going to be taken seriously. And when we were waiting in the waiting room, they didn’t prioritize me at all until my husband asked twice at the desk if he needed to take me to another hospital. They kept telling him there were “six people ahead of her.” I was scaring kids with my screaming, and freaking everyone out, and they still didn’t think to triage me appropriately. I’m pretty sure if it had been my husband in that kind of pain, they would have taken it seriously, and I think the only reason they finally bumped me up the list is because my husband was insisting that I needed to be seen.
Bissan Obaid That sucks so much. The coworker of mine went to her university health center first, too. It was her gallbladder, but for months they told her it was in her head, and she actually started believing she might be going crazy. I had cysts like yours starting at around 19. People should take that kind of pain seriously, especially in someone so young. My family doctor caught it right away back then, but a cyst is what caused my ovary to twist on itself until it went necrotic and I needed the emergency surgery last year-decades after I was first diagnosed. The pain was mind-blowing. I was told I had a 10 cm cyst on my ovary and the weight of it started the twisting. That cyst even caused me to lose a lot of blood during surgery. Cysts are no joke. I think the best way to make sure you get good care is to have a good doctor who can get to know you. I’ve found that strangers are the ones who typically get it wrong. When you don’t know someone, it’s easier for them to not take you seriously, When a doctor sees you consistently and gets to know you, they notice more when you are feeling something that isn’t normal for you. And they are less likely to brush you off. I’m incredibly lucky with the doctor I have now-she’s amazing, and I’ve been with her for nine years now. The ones who have misdiagnosed or blown off symptoms were almost always people I hadn’t seen before. When you have to see a new doctor for something routine, try to see someone a friend recommends and make sure you mention it when you see the doctor. That will give you a personal connection and the doc will probably associate you with your friend until you develop a rapport in your own. If you can’t get a referral at a regular visit or it’s serious and you need urgent care, always bring a friend. They seem to take things more seriously when there is an audience, and your friend can help make sure they do. I know my posts here are super long, so I apologize for that. Best of luck to you, and I hope you find a great new doctor (I hope you ditch the one you saw first!).
Its not really a women thing, its an age thing. Notice how 90% of the stories were all not believed because they were young and young people "never have problems"
Went to the ER with my leg swelled up about 3 times its normal size, bright red, and full of the worst pain I've ever experienced. When they took me back, after they took back a kid with a sprained ankle mind you, they asked me my pain level. Between sobs I said "10/10" and the doctor looked at me and said, "it's not a 10." Around 2 hours later they said it was just a mild infection and I should go home and sleep it off. Luckily my primary care doctor insisted I had some more tests done because something was very wrong. Well after an ultrasound and a 4 hour MRI I'm rushed into emergency surgery in the middle of the night. Turns out I had flesh-eating bacteria. If I went home like the original doctor said I could've died the next day. I'm still insanely thankful to my primary care doctor for advocating for me and saving my life.
16 minutes worth of answer and those are only the ones that got picked for the video... Shit like this is how my hormone disorder wasn't diagnosed for 1 1/2 years after my symptoms started. I wound up being over weight (from the disorder screwing my metabolism) before I found a doctor who finally diagnosed me. Now my body has stretch marks where I wouldn't have had any because I was ignored every time I told a doctor (4 or 5 of them idr) something was wrong with me. My husband was in a wreck went to the hospital for the pain the day after they told him he was just sore to rest at home. Went for another opinion he had blood in his kidneys and a broken rib.
Alexander right. You go to the hospital because something is wrong, they refuse to help you or give you a correct diagnosis, and charge you $10,000 for it!
Me: - has every symptom of a heart attack but extreme chest pain even after symptoms align with heart attack - Doctor: ( not taking me seriously ) It's just anxiety and depression get therapy and acupuncture 2 years later Me: Yah i'm having trouble walking, balancing, can't speak at times and extreme light headiness + way more can you fix me? Doctor: ( rolls eyes ) Anxiety and Depression Me: - finds a competent doctor - Competent Doctor: You have something restricting blood flow to your brain and likely causing clots if left uncheck you could die of a stroke or heart attack. Me: :/ Anxiety and Depression huh?
i have diagnosed anxiety but my doctor was decent enough to actually do check ups when i complained of heart palpitations. We concluded i have them more than average people for unnamed reasons but since they arent dangerous, its fine. When I first went in i was scared theyd instantly show me the door and say "well d0h, you have anxiety" but i was pleasantly suprised they took me seriously
i had the opposite problem... kept complaining of dizziness and weird heart things going on, went to the doctors and asked about it got blood tests and xrays because they thought i had some heart problem like my mum... months later lol nope you have anxiety cheers have fun with that
They didn't forget. They became those things for the money. They never had any actual intention of caring about anyone; they just wanted a well paying job.

@@darenabryant9100 How about you watch a few dozen people die before your eyes and say that? Emergency services are not in it for the money. Police officers and EMTs aren't rich. Only the cushy positions get it good. The job itself is what corrupts. A pharmacist knowingly peddling painkillers because his doctor's a dumbass, a surgeon slips into an artery, kills his patient in seconds, a SWAT unit praying they won't get killed every second inside a hotspot, a first responder hopelessly giving cpr to an infant, an operator listening as someone is murdered over the phone, helpless to do anything- it's not worth the 20 dollars an hour, or the meager salaries some get, or the copy-paste benifits package. The only ones making money are lawyers, tax preps, businessmen, and shareholders, and most of them are psychopaths anyways. They profit off of micromanaging suffering and statistics, manipulation and omittence. If you want money, you step on others to climb. March over everyone in your way. Incompetent or overwhelmed enforcement and treatment professionals are nothing like those snakes.
@ you are saying some very true things but you act like it is impossible and no one ever in either of the jobs could ever be in it for power reasons or any reason but helping people
As a doctor I swear to always be paranoid and order a battery of tests no matter how expensive for my parents to avoid any of these situations. Plus most of the problems I asked my younger brother a 3rd year med student gave proper answers how these doctors didn't realize is beyond me.
@@jayamarillo628 It means that nobody said or did anything, absolutely nobody made any action to incite a response in someone, yet they do that ridiculous actions anyway. Or at least that's the best way I can describe it
to be fair to doctors they do have to ask bc a lot of drugs people take can react badly with drugs they give you in hospital. For example if you take crack and then go to a dentists the reaction with the anaesthesia will kill u
@@Desca006 while that may be, badgering or disbelieving patients about drug/alcohol is counterproductive. I also acknowledge patients can be stupid and try to find loopholes. For example: I don't drink or smoke, I stopped doing that about a week ago.
Long story time! I used to have super heavy periods back in jr high. My period was super unreliable and so I would have to wear a tampon and pad at all times and change the tampon every class. A lot of the times I ended up not packing enough for the day because my periods would decide to fluctuate on heaviness. I would pack 9 and would end up needing 1 extra. I would go to the nurse to ask for an extra tampon and pad. I did this almost every month on my period. There was one period I had that was suuuper heavy(honestly so heavy I should've been checked out by a doctor but I used to think it was normal) . I went to nurses office to ask for a tampon and a pad because I ran out. The nurse looked at me and laughed, pointed out the door and told me to go to class because I'm "faking it" and I just want to get out of class. I refused to leave and she had me escorted out. Once I was outside of the office I was obviously fuming and very very self-conscious and embarrassed. I immediately called my mom and told her that the nurse refused to give me a tampon and pad because she thought I was faking my period. My mom had to take time off work to bring me a tampon and pad from home and by the time she got to school, I was in the bathroom because I had bled all over myself, my pants were blood soaked and I was hiding. My mom gave me the tampon and pad and then her jacket so that I could hide my blood stained pants. Let me tell you, my mom flew off the handle. She first went in with me and asked the nurse what the problem was. The nurse told my mom that I was "lazy and skipped class all the time to come get a tampon and pad from the nurses office" and that she refused me because she was "tired of it". First of all, I didnt go in all the time. I went in only once or twice on my period weeks, once a month! My mom started yelling in the nurses face saying "shes a teenage GIRL! Their periods are super unreliable and out of all the people you should know this especially!" She then proceeded to argue with the nurse who was adamant. My mom brought up how it was illegal for her to deny medical service to a student without proof and that she was wondering if the principal knew what the nurse had did. The nurse stopped and started to try to justify her actions suddenly submissivley like I torment her or something. Me, a 13 year old girl that only comes in for my asthma(I was required to) and periods(once a month) and started playing it like me, the student, causes her so much grief and how I apparently guilt trip her or something. This fired my mother up even more and my mom went straight into the principals office since his door was open, put her hand down on his desk (the nurse was quickly following behind her obviously scared now that shes gonna be exposed) and my mom says really loudly "did you know that my daughter just bled all over herself and her clothes to the point of hiding in the bathroom until I had to come to rescue her because your nurse refused to provide her with a pad and tampon AND accused my daughter of lying? Is this the kind of school you run? Where young girls going through puberty hide in the bathrooms because they accidentally bleed all over themselves and have to call their parents to come save them when it's the nurses JOB to provide them these things when needed?" The nurse didnt get fired, but oh man, suddenly she instead of working all week, worked mondays and Thursdays without working at another school or job. Apparently I learned after the incident that she had a habit of refusing a lot of girls tampons because she was lazy and just liked to be mean.
I'm surprised that bitch didn't get a bloody tampon or pad thrown in her face at some point after accusing girls of faking their periods. It makes me so mad that some teachers/school staff think they can bully girls with period issues because they know they'll be too embarrassed to stand up to them.
@@saammmy7 yeah it was pretty disgusting. If I can recall i think i was also missing something really important in that class when i went to the nurses. The funny thing is that i went inbetween classes before my next one even started like you're supposed to and i stayed in the bathroom for the duration of that whole class and half of the next one too.
My school's nurse office is pretty chill about that. If you need a pad, tampon, band-aid, even just a tissue, they let you walk in and take it. Her problem, however (same deal with both my current high school nurse and my former middle school nurse) is that she will only EVER decide to send you home if you have a fever of 100 F or more. Had a classmate in middle school who threw up in front of the nurse and was told to go back to class. They just don't understand that not every contagious disease/medical problem involves a fever. What really ticks me off? The sign in every nurse's office that says "Stop the spread of germs, stay home when you're sick!" Hypocrites.
@@dbseamz that's pretty shitty considering theres a nurse code at the school that is a 100% requirement that needs to be followed under all circumstances. It's that if you throw up for any reason(besides just nervousness), you HAVE to go home or be kept in the nurse until schools out. If the nurses dont follow that rule, they get in huge trouble.
Oh, Applesauce my son had a heart condition from 6 months to 3 1/2 years old! Very scary!!! Wasn’t supposed to ever get better. Was never supposed to play any sports, and was supposed to have to have surgeries to replace his heart valves due to heart enlargement. After 3 years of 2 heart medications, digoxin and amioderone , his specialist walked back into the room after tests to tell us that it was nothing short of a miracle. They could not even tell that there has ever been a problem with his heart ❤️ GOD IS SO GOOD! He is 20 and 💯 healthy today! ❤️
How on earth did this doctor not know that? Even if they got their degree from s degree mill, anyone with the most basic of medical knowledge could tell you that kids can have all sorts of heart conditions.
There is a large stigma around children and mental health also that needs to be addressed how come ignoring the elephant in the room is any less serious
Ginger MLG actually his X ray was accidentally switched with another person by a nurse so they couldn’t detect the tumor in his head early enough to prevent the cancer. The nurse was pulled into a trap but was saved by Jigsaw after everyone else was forcefully pulled away because he thought the nurse shouldn’t die from an honest mistake and he took the nurse under his wing. It also wasn’t Jigsaw 3, it was a more recent one I think 2018. The one your thinking of was the doctor who was kidnapped to help Jigsaw relies the pressure from the tumor in his skull while her husband went through traps.
I’d like to see all you smart asses work 24 hour shifts with a waiting room full of people all having to wait 4+ hours, because more and more idiots every day go to the er with a cold or a light fever or just for a checkup.
@@smonge98 I understand that people who work at the hospital get a large amount of trivial patients, but it doesn't excuse negligence. You took an oath before you entered the medical field, so take it seriously.
Andrew Nguyen bs. That has nothing to do with negligence. Doctors aren’t superhuman as some people believe. If you’re working in a factory at a conveyor belt all day you would not be able to spot a faulty part either after you’ve seen hundreds pass you all day. But that’s today’s mindset, where you want to be treated as a customer in the hospital. Where you’re always the most important patient. And at the end of the day everything is the doctors fault. I bet that after these terrible errors in the video that SHOULD NOT have happened, the doctor, who knows he’s probably got a lawsuit now, has got to walk over to the next patient, who also thinks is in need terrible of help with his cough and listen to them complaining about the 4 hours wait.
When I was in the military, I tripped on a tree root and fell into a hole. It felt like a sprained ankle/foot, so I kept going through the obstacle course. Afterwards, we marched two miles back to the barracks. By the time we got back, I could barely stand weight on my right leg. Went to the clinic, was told it was a sprain and after two days rest I was back to full duties. The thing was, I didn't get better. My foot swelled three times it's size, I couldn't fit it in my boots/sneakers, it was so badly discolored that it looked black/dark blue. Every time I went to the clinic, they'd just look at my folder, say it is a sprain. After six months, a clinic doctor basically outright accused me of malingering and threatened if I ever came back to the clinic that he'd have me written up for insubordination. After leaving the military, and still convinced that my pain was all in my head, I finally went to a podiatrist because I was miserable. Three years after my fall I learned the truth, my foot was broken and had been the entire time I was in the military. Because I sucked it up and stopped trying to get help I had effectively shattered the broken bone and grind the pieces every time I set foot to pavement. Jagged bone shards had embedded in muscle, nerves, and my joints. When I went under for surgery to try and fix the damage, the surgeon (a former trauma surgeon) started to cry when he said internally it looked more like a foot caught in a bomb blast. He couldn't believe I managed to walk for as long as I did without anyone thinking that it was more than a sprain. All a doctor really needed to do was look at the obvious signs that something was wrong. I've had to go through eight surgeries to try and stabilize the foot as much as is possible, but the nerve damage and massive scar tissue (skin was fused to the bone in 1/3 of the foot prior to first surgery) is irreversible. I never imagined I would be stuck with a wheelchair before I was 25, all because my pain was dismissed and I was almost completely convinced that I was going crazy (while my limb was literally dying).
@LL I didn't sue, but I did file an appeal of my discharge because I had plenty of evidence to show that my physical condition at the time of my separation merited medical discharge instead of a general one. The change allowed me to get a pension and I get treatments for my busted leg at the VA. I only got a year's worth of back pay, and all of it went to medical bills.
@@DD-d6d3 As bad as it was, I don't regret any of my time I served, and I would sign up again if they'd let me. It was frustrating having to give up on my career because I physically unable. I spend a lot of time volunteering with veterans, the upside of being in constant severe pain for the past 20 years is that I have developed pretty strong coping techniques. It isn't much, but it is the best I can do.
On memorial day, thank you for what you gave up, and fuck military healthcare providers/ veteran healthcare providers for being responsible for so many injuries and deaths.
This story is all according to my parents, so here it goes. When I was around 2 1/2 years old I had broken my arm, from riding a Barbie car off of a recliner (don't ask). They brought me into the hospital the next morning because I was complaining, and when we met with the doctor, he rotated my arm in every possible direction while I was screaming and crying, and said it was just a sprain. We are sent home and my complaints do not stop. The *VERY NEXT DAY* we come in to the *SAME HOSPITAL* meet with the *SAME DOCTOR* and he says my are was broken in 3 places. Yeah he got fired.
Honestly breaking an arm like that sounds like something i would do. I was 4 when I broke my arm. So this guy i was playing tag with tripped over a curb and was laying in the ground and then i tripped over the same curb and over him. Fun times
Okay, bit older than you guys, but when I was either 5 or 6, some adults that were watching me at that time, introduced me to this horse pen, with one horse in it, which was a stallion. I had been around horses before, but that were horses that was especially temperate, because kids rode them; something I think the adults that were watching me knew. I had never seen a stallion before that, and I had no knowledge about it or how it would behave differently. The adults thought bringing me to the pen without any warning and not holding me was a great idea, especially considering that the pen was nowhere child proof (it was just made of wooden beams, with large openings for a kid to jump straight through). Guess what, I ran into the pen and towards the horse, where I then stopped the moment I realized this horse was completely different from what I had seen before. I was about to run back, when the horse intentionally came towards me (it happened quick, it had space to avoid me, so it wasn't cornered or anything) before being able to do so. It turned around and I got kicked by a stallion by it's hind legs into my forearm, because I guess I put them up as a instinct/reaction to protect my face and chest. Not only did I survive that short levitation trick (I was kicked a substantial length), but I didn't cry much either or at all (I also ran back to the adults in that situation outside the pen; and no, my parents weren't there). I was sent to hospital eventually, and even though I had a large bruise/bump near my fucking elbow, they only x-rayed the middle of the forearm! Because yeah, it is most likely broken there because the bone is thinner there, than where I was actually hit, right? Even fucking little me back then thought it was stupid to X-ray where they did (they had a light with a shadow cross to indicate where the x-ray were going to be), because I had a large bump near my elbow and I had no pain where they were x-raying... It was sprained or similar according to the doctor, I was sent home with fucking elastic bandages! I remember how hard it was to sleep that night, if I even got sleep. I think not even the next day, my asshole bigger brother, forced me to sit on the steering bar of his bicycle, down a long asphalt road. I knew it was a bad idea, but he is a fucking sadistic asshole, someone I have cut all contact with in adult life now, so yeah, that amount of asshole, still forced me to sit on it. I knew he would fuck up, because I HAD ONLY ONE WORKING ARM! Ofc I fell from fucking handlebars, which might been intentional from my brother, and I was sent to hospital again. Then the fucking idiots at the hospital managed to fucking realize their fuckup, and actually xray me at the right place, because the fracture was much more obvious the day after! I think they tried to blame it on the fall from the bike, but my mom called on their bullshit! But in hindsight, it was actually a good thing my brother did that, even though I did not like the fucking pain I felt from falling... Yeah, doctors in the 80's were not that great (which this was in), since they thought infants didn't feel pain (took about till the later parts of the 80's before they all realized THAT FUCKUP!)... Yeah, just because someone isn't crying or complaining about massive pain, doesn't mean they are not hurt! Yeah, that is the only time I have fractured a bone in my life, and I have had some pretty serious accidents and falls in my life, one which was falling 3.2 meters (~10.5 feet) onto concrete on my back, which the worst was getting my wind beaten out and a mother of all papercuts (was most likely a cardboard box)! A laceration above my foot, took 18 stitches, which they considered 36 stitches, because of the depth. Because the skin is so tight there, the gash was more than 5 cm wide (about 2 inches). Which is coincidentally the story that is closest to "doctors thinking I was faking it". I didn't even feel it, it was first when my friend and coworker pointed it out, after a few minutes (we were in shorts, it was summer). We first tried to bandaid it or similar before going to get it treated, but when the rollout bandaid you cut to length was acting like a suspended bridge over the wound by the hairs on my leg, did we give up that idea and I went to my father in the next room, who was busy with phones. I told him I needed to speak with him, but he said after he was done on the phone (was likely a somewhat important call). It was then I pulled my foot onto the table, and he just said in the phone "I need to call you back" and we drove right away to the hospital. We got to a hospital, and the waiting room was surprisingly empty. We talked to a nurse through this ridiculous small opening in the wall, told her I had a severe cut in my leg that needed stitches, because I had a hard fall, where I also hit my head (not to mention my life flashing before me while falling, it felt almost like an lifetime! Because time went that slow, I managed to prepare my fall to hit my head the least possible, by curving my back). Yeah, she gave me papers to fill out and didn't even ask to see the cut or examine me for concussion or anything! After about 45 minutes, with the only other patients there being kids with parents that was just coughing a tiny bit being called in before me (They were called in intentionally slow, if you catch my drift!). I went up to the fucking ridiculous hole in the wall, asked what the fuck they were doing, and at the first moment of the stupid nurse trying to debate me or similar, I pulled my leg up to the fucking stupid hole (it was quite high, but I was quite flexible back then, I would probably not been able to do it today), and the moment she saw the relatively large wound, she stopped what she was saying and called me right in. IIRC, the doctor apologized on behalf of the nurse, because after the doctor heard what had happened, and what she had scribbled down, she were supposed to have done a lot more than she did than just handing me papers to fill and return! She obviously learned from the experience, since I saw the shock in her eyes when she realized her mistake of dismissing me because I didn't show signs of pain etc. After all, it didn't even hurt that much even when I lifted my leg up to her stupid "peeping hole"... But that does still not excuse her for calling in other patients that had no new or serious symptoms before me, which I found out afterwards...
I had an instance where when I was in seventh grade I got sick. I went to the urgent care nearby and talked to the guy about chest pains, and all he said was that it was growth pain. My mom wasn’t satisfied with that answer, so we went to another. The other gave me antibiotics saying it was strep, but. Anyway, days later I couldn’t move without being in excrutiating pain. Was driven to the ER. I was transported to three different hospitals, but I passed out on the helicopter ride to the second. Apparently, I coded in the ambulance on the way to the third hospital, and even though I was revived, it wasn’t guaranteed that I would survive. (Basically what had happened was that the flu had lodged inside of my heart and caused my heart to not only be surrounded by fluid, but it made it start beating irregularly.) Obviously I’m fine now, I made a full recovery after about a year or two. But. My mom now doesn’t trust urgent care doctors and will take me straight to the ER if I feel any pain in my chest or anything now.
@@Venus99088V Oh god a comment from 4 years ago. Alright. Time to slap my past self. Edit: I may have not paid enough attention when I replied 4 years ago.
@@Nor1MAL If this is specifically about the heart attack one then it's not even rare for women to have heart attack just not as common as men. What they don't tell you though is that often the symptom of a heart attack for women can differ from men, it can even differ between races, symptoms of a black guy might not present the same as a white guy. A lot of medical practices (at least in the u.s.) are modelled around men (specific white men) and so studies into the differing symptoms between men, women, and varying races isn't done very well or thoroughly and a lot of people aren't well informed about the symptoms of a heart attack except for the ones prevalent in men. But the person said their great grandmother so I assume this was waaaaaay back in the day in which case you can pretty much pick up that sexism was the cause of that poor woman's demise.
For 16 years I have been "randomly" getting sick and occassionally passing out and whenever my mom or I brought it up to my family doctor, he would tell me just to sleep more. He was out of the office last week when I fainted twice in the same day so I ended up going to the ER and getting diagnosed with anhidrosis. So basically, I've been suffering from heatstroke for most of my life because my doctor just assumed I was tired. Even if that was the case, he should have done some kind of test to see if I was an insomniac or a narcoleptic.
Shan Ryder I'm both a narcoleptic and insomniac and I definitely don't faint like that due to either of those things that's bs. We love doctors who know us better than we know ourselves
i have one of my own. earlier this year my stepfather went skiing and hit his head pretty hard. he went to the doctor who didn’t seem to think it was as bad as my stepdad was saying and sent him home. he died a week later from a hemorrhagic stroke.
When I was 12, I used to be super tired and had headaches. My mom new there was something wrong so she took me to the doctor. Next I knew she was fighting the urge to strangle him because he just said "that's just teens!" And sent us home. A month later, I had a scan and showed I had a brain tumor....I'm fine now. The doctor was so so sorry.
10:24 a similar thing happened to me when i was 5. went to multiple doctors and every one of them insisted i had the flu. then finally one doctor quickly realised that the symptoms were too severe and long lasting and got me tested for leukaemia. that woman literally saved my life
Edit: Oh or the one time the father of a friend of my mom went to the hospital. First they damaged his bowel (hope it's the right term) during the operation so he had to start wearing diapers. Bad enough? No. After he was released he showed symptoms of flu so his daughter brought him back but they weren't taking her serious until he nearly died of it. He got influenza in hospital, they send him back and when she wanted to bring him back because he was sick they couldn't care less. Sometimes I really question why these people are doing such important jobs. Edit2: My then around 22 year old cousin was playing soccer. He ran to the goal and the goalkeeper ran to the ball, my cousin got knocked over and fell on his shoulder. He went to the Doc and he said its alright despite him having a lot of pain. The pain didn't go away so he went to another doc. This doc Made an Xray pickt of the shoulder and said "I've seen shoulders like this before. They belonged to 80years olds" Long story short my cousin had a broken shoulder and walked around with it for 2 weeks in pain because the doctor said its fine without really checking it.
And here I thought I was the only one to suffer from this treatment. In my case, I was on the way home, when I started feeling what I thought at first was a cramp, but grew into the worst pain I've ever felt. It felt like when you get a bad cramp in your thigh, but ever muscle in my middle and lower back were doing it at once. There was a hospital near my home, so I went directly there where I was told to wait in the waiting room. I was made to sit, thrashing around in pain and begging anyone at all to help, for 6 1/2 hours before being let into the ER. There a single intern attempted to get blood from me. I was still in a lot of pain and delirious at this point, so couldn't hold still for him to put the needle in.... so he left. He came back after making me sit for another hour or so and told me that 'my blood tests' hadn't shown anything wrong, so I was going to have to leave. I was so confused at that point, and accepted it after some asking if he was sure, and if it wasn't something bad. He gave me some prescriptions for what were probably placebos and sent me home (The 'pills' were tiny; barely the size of the tip of an eraser on a pencil). I ran out, got them, and went home. By this time I'm having tunnel vision, can't feel my hands and feet, and everything felt like it was slowly getting further away, and I knew if I didn't at least try to get back to the hospital, I was going to die. I dragged myself to my car, and with extremely blurry vision drove 20 mph with my emergency blinkers on to the same hospital. When I went to the desk and explained that I had already been there and waited a really long time and that I was told nothing was wrong but there most definitely WAS something wrong and I needed help... they sent me back to the waiting room. I'm not sure how long I waited, because I passed out in there at some point. Three days later I woke up in the ICU. I had a huge scar running the length of my abdomen from just above my genitals to just below my sternum, with five quarter sized holes that I could see my internal organs through, draining the mess out. I also had a colostomy bag hanging from my side. My large intestine had burst due to diverticulitis, and I'd been suffering from sepsis for hours before I passed out. Three weeks in the hospital and three weeks in rehab later, I was home and was told by my doctor that it would only be three months before they could do a colostomy reversal and help me get a bit more back to how I had been. You'd think that was the end of the story, but nope. They must have grabbed some random doctor when I passed out, and he didn't really want to have anything to do with me from the start. The initial cut had been pretty jagged and rushed and he'd destroyed my belly button, and left odd lumps and a huge scar across my abdomen from not stitching it up well. After the three months passed, he told me 'six more months'. When I asked, he said 'just to be sure everything had healed well'. So I waited another six months, in constant pain, dealing unable to get out of bed much, and dealing with the colostomy. When I went back, he said 'you need a colonoscopy now'. Which ended up taking another three months. After that was done, he scheduled the surgery, but then it was found my blood sugar was too high, so It got canceled and I was sent to an endocrynologist. This ended up taking another year to get my blood sugars to the right levels to be safe for surgery. All this time, my abdomen had been stretching outwards from the weight of my organs drooping downwards. This shifted my intestines, heart, and lungs to the point of always being short of breath, numb in my hands and feet, confused due to less blood circulating, and less and less able to move as my insides hung more and more out front. Restrictive bandages were unable to do the job, and I REALLY needed the surgery, to set some things straight. The last time I saw said doctor, he sat me down after basically making me wait two years and said, '...I think you should go see another doctor.' I was blown away. If he knew he couldn't handle it, why not send me to someone else in the beginning? Worse, he tried to send me to the worst hospital he could find... a place that had nothing but complaints against it for being outdated, and uncaring as to your wellbeing. I took things into my own hands and found doctors who could repair the damage. Had to have a good bit of my abdominal muscles cut out completely to undo all the scarring, and in my opinion, the hole the colostomy had been through never really healed right, but I'm doing better and don't feel like I'm gonna burst soon anymore. And all this because they refused to actually take em at my word and just investigate someone who came in literally convulsing with pain.
I really hope you sued the hospital and the doctor you could've died because of their intolerance and ignorance and I personally am very happy you are alive
That was a roller coaster ride I mean did that doctor even have proper training? I get that sometimes you have to wait for a surgery but 2 years? Jesus I’m Glad u didn’t die dude
Gross warning? I passed out in my bath room in a pile of my vomit becuase of cramps i was having. Ambulance came and they got me on a gurney. I was forced awake. They asked me if i had overdosed. I took the tiny bit of strength i had to say no and yet they asked me 4 more times even though all of my tests they did while taking me to the hospital were clear. I got to the hospital screaming in pain and required alot of morphine to calm down (i didnt know really what was happening until my mom told me later and told me it was morphine). I required a wheel chair and before i left the ER nurse told me i really just needed to focus on eating well and getting good exercise. I went to a doctor a week later and not even half way through my symptoms (which the er doc was told and saw first hand that night) and my new doctor diagnosed me with a serious progressive disease. She said there was no reason the ER should have not known that 🤦♀️ Edit: in the same er my ex took his grampa for forgetfullness and headaxhes etc. That er told him it was a benign brain tumor that would easily be taken care of with a simple surgery but with a second opinion they found out it was stage for brain cancer and he had 4 months to live.

Not the doctor, but my parents. When I was 10, I was always the slowest runner, and had a hard time breathing. Doctor said it was athletic induced asthma, so he prescribed me an inhaler. My parents tried to refuse the prescription, because it was "all in my head," but I convinced them to get it for me. It actually helped. It wasn't until my dad tried to get me off of my inhaler and I collapsed to the ground, as if I passed out but I was still conscious but couldn't move, that convinced my dad I had asthma.
Theboss24611 my mum did a similar thing. I had horrible foot pains for months and I got sick pretty regularly back then (due to a vitamin d deficiency as we’d later discover) so she assumed I was faking it and didn’t take me to a doctor. I wasn’t until the pains got so bad that I was crying from the pain at night and couldn’t sleep that mum took me to a doctor. Took a couple of years but it turned out that my sesamoids in both feet were in sharp pieces that were tearing at the muscles nearby. It caused me so much pain I couldn’t stand up for longer than half an hour. Had to get both sesamoids surgically removed. Then after surgery it took a while for my feet to heal and my dad was giving me grief the entire time. He had gotten a growth on the shoulder bone sawed off in surgery a week after I got my surgery and was doing stuff because it had healed quicker than my feet did. So he was back to work when I was still home because I wasn’t well enough to return to school. I felt validated when the doctor told my parents that feet usually take longer to heal.
7:00 I really hope that family sued that doctor or hospital for malpractice. A doctor's negligence that leads to permanent damage will permanently shut down that doctor's work record and hit the hospital hard so that they will take the Oath serious in the future. Also an important note for everyone here in the comments, always let the person with the allergic reaction inject the epipen *_unless_* they cannot do it themselves. Never, EVER take it from them, and if you see someone take it without consent butt in and get it back to the owner. The last thing we need is a bad injection and more damage to be done.
Me: reads title and laughs knowing doctors couldn’t possibly do this. Also me: remembers the time I was rushed to the hospital in a drunken state having never picked up an alcoholic beverage in my life only for the doctors to think I was faking it to get out of school. I had a really bad infection on my ankle that was messing with my brain and making me act similar to a drunk. (I was *really* out of my head that day).
When I was 16, my friend called an ambulance for me after I texted them that I had taken an overdose (this was my 2nd suicide attempt). After having all my vitals checked/ecg sticker things put all over my chest, wrists and ankles and put into the ambulance, the paramedic started to go on and on about its not possible for a 16 year old to be depressed cause nothing traumatic can happen to a teenager and im just being childish. I was later diagnosed with depression and bpd because of my family situation and severe bullying I was and had experienced for pretty much my whole life etc etc. There are nice paramedics out there, after my first attempt the 2 paramedics talked to me about how valuable i am to this world and ill never forget them. That paramedic from my second attempt tho needs to find another profession...
but a specific one: walked into my GP practice bc my chest hurt for many hours and it was causing breathing discomfort. told them i came bc my inhaler wasnt helping so i know it wasn't asthma. was having a fairy uneventful day, just getting over a cold. head Dr took me in and told me i was having an anxiety/panic attack. i said im not panicking, im totally calm it's just hurting a lot and idk why. he proceeded to get very smug and tell me that i can think whatever i want but *he* is the doctor. i left and it got worse and worse. eventually near midnight i tried to shower and couldn't inhale. i passed out and lack of oxygen actually caused my whole body to buzz and my hearing to completely cut out. called NHS number and i was treated very lightly and told me that they would refer me to a 3am emergency outpatient. cab driver who took me was terrified bc i couldnt even get out the cab and i was just gasping for air. doctor there talked down to me the entire time and diagnosed it as costochondrits (damaged chest wall) and literally told me to go home and google the other symptoms and was exasperated when i said i can't breathe (her: ugh you can. it hurts but inhale properly or you'll get a chest infection). for context like the pain was so bad that my diaphragm spasmed from it which would halt any breaths. went home and found out that the symptoms mirrored that of a stroke almost perfectly. my family has a history of people dying young from strokes. i have a condition linked to cardiac issues. fantastic service!
Man, a good number of these are "assumed they were a drug user" As if drug users do t deserve medical care? They are addicted to a substance - a serious medical condition by itself! I caught a lost pet rabbit with my hands knowing full well i was allergic and it could kill me. It was, in terms of my own survival and wellbeing, a stupid decision. But despite that stupid decision i got decent care. A druggee, apparently, despite also making a shit choice for their own wellbeing isnt worth promt medical care? Thats fucked up.
Not trying to defend the doctors, but just giving you an bit more information. A reason why some doctors may be more reluctant to treat drug users is because some people may pretend to be in severe pain in order to get painkillers (aka opioids), which can be highly addictive. These drug-seeking people will resort to behaviors such as faking pain/illnesses and visiting multiple different hospitals in order to get the drug they need, and it is hard for doctors, or anyone actually, to tell if the pain is real or not. My point is that the doctors aren’t discriminating against their poor life decisions, rather they are trying to prevent giving them what they want and extending their opioid addiction.
Kay Boogie If it were that easy, drug-seeking behavior wouldn’t be such a large issue. How does one objectively test for pain? Pain is largely a self-reported symptom that which doctors can only trust the patient is telling the truth.Why do you think that when you go to doctor visits, they ask you questions about how you are feeling and ask you to rate pain on a 1 to 10 scale when they could’ve saved all that trouble by running “tests” on you?
@@fgdtryrt Are you being serious or just plain stupid? He clearly meant to say that they should test for drugs, you must be missing a few screws to think he meant to test for pain.
Marshmallows_4_Me My apologies if that’s what Kay Boogie meant. English hasn’t always been my strongest suit. But even then, there’s a flaw with that approach. What will you do if that person tests positive for drugs? Are you going to refuse treatment? Whether that person is a drug addict or not, he/she is an individual claiming to be in pain and a doctor’s job is to help these individuals. This just loops back to the original issue of whether or not they are faking the pain.
I have a story: One time a big metal water bottle hit me in the head at lunch. I walked out of the lunch room and was walking like I was drunk ( I was not). then I made it to the nurses office and was sort of slurinng my speech I showed her the goose egg on my head. She had my dad pick me up but said I was fine and just a little shaken up. My dad knew something was wrong and took me to urgent care. I had a concussion. Even after I was cleared the nurse was so mean and made me sit there in the dark. They couldn’t get the right papers so I ended up missing a lot of work!
Lmfao I’ve had two concussions in my life. The first one was after I fell off the swings and got my head (fortunately, the swings were at their lowest point, and I was lying down across two). I had a first aid app on my phone (still do) and diagnosed myself with a concussion. I only told my eight-year-old brother and his friend, and only bc I didn’t want to run around a forest for twenty minutes. I went to my grandfather’s house and had nausea, but didn’t tell him I’d hit my head until two hours later, at which point he called my mum, who took me to the ER. The second one came from when I got hit while skiing. I didn’t tell anyone about it. I didn’t go to the ER or treat it in any way, shape, or form. The pain stopped by the time I got home so I figured I was fine. The first was June 2017 and the second was December 2018
I had seizure when I was around 14 at a friends sleepover. His parents took me to hospital. Doctor said I was faking it. Never seen my friends yell at a Doctor before. Turned out I had had a seizure from stress and lack of sleep (had moved to England from Korea and only understood a little bit) plus it was exam season. Doctor was fired and sued.
@@wintershock Usually they don't fire doctors for misdiagnosis unless there was major risk or permanent damage. And if it was a one-time seizure how would you prove it unless the doctor had done the necessary tests? It doesn't make sense medically.
my mum went to the family gp saying that she had difficulty breathing often and intense pains in her chest. The GP said it was probably just her panic disorder acting up. sent her home with some beta blockers. She had just had my youngest brothers (twins) a couple of months prior and she had a history or post-partem depression and generalised panic disorder. She died two weeks later because of a blood clot in the leg that had broken and lodged itself in her lungs. (idk how exactly) My dad sued the gp surgery and got a BIG lump of money and the doctor lost his job. i was 8 years old at the time. Im the third oldest of 8.
This is exactly why I hate when asked if I have any history of depression or anxiety because far too often, symptoms get written off as such after that. I am so sorry about your mother, that is awful. Childbirth runs a huge risk of blood clots, any doctor with even the most mediocre training, should know that and have checked her for it. Especially after a twin birth. I am glad there was some vindication in a monetary award and him losing his job, but I know none of that can ease the pain of losing a loved one. Best wishes to you and your family. ❤️
Not the doctor but my family and school counselor. It’s a long story but I ended up getting surgery on my left leg, surgery didn’t go as planned, bone didn’t heal, and while my fibula was literally snapped in half I was walking around in Disney World, dad and brother refused to get me a wheelchair because brother wanted to sit in my wheelchair, everyone thought I was faking the pain and feeling of bone grinding together except my brother (to an extent), mother, aunt, and grandma. Went back home and x-rays showed my fibula was still snapped in half, they’ve fixed it (bone graph) and I went to middle school. Now, I had a walker, it’s hell to get around with that torture device. Ended up with tendinitis in both knees and ankles after 6th grade, tried telling the counselor but they said “it’s probably growing pains”. Now I am permanently subtlety disabled and cannot walk for long distances. Doctor who did surgery on my leg was going to get me to a physical therapist but the physical therapist didn’t have me in the appointments and the doctor never replied to my messages and ran off like a scared dog with it’s tail under it’s legs leaving me with this dumpster fire of a problem. God I hate that doctor.
I wish I could do repeatedly flykicks into the face of that doctor and the counselor, at least, on your behalf! Too bad society thinks that is too cruel, you know, temporary pain and injury is bad vs the permanent ones you have now which for some reason is acceptable... :(
in 8th grade i was feeling really sick, with stomach pains, a headache, a fever, the works. was taken to the doctor and he said i was faking it to get out of school. threw up on him. he believed me after that.
13:50 "Kids don't get heart conditions" Dude, I was born with a hole in my heart that was slowly leaking blood into my lungs. If I didn't get it plugged as a kid, I would have drowned in my own blood.
BYEEE!! I would have been so pissed!! I already hate it when people tell me that, imagine the person you confide in because you have to saying this 🙄!! Ughhhh...
i remember two or three years ago, i noticed that my heartbeat was very irregular and out of rhythm. i told my doctor who said it was probably in my head. a year later i was diagnosed with heart failure (but ive been doing better)
It usually gets misdiagnosed as thryoid issues and celiac disease. My aunt and mother have it, and considering my thyroid issues, I likely have it also but not as bad. My mom is the one who figured it out for our family. Glad you got it figured out so you can fix it. Hi five!
@@OriginalGlorfindel Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, so I wouldn't say "thyroid issues" is a misdiagnosis...like, the disease revolves around thyroid issues.
Listening to this makes me so incredibly scared for my life and the lives of others Like I know people fake things but that should not be your immediate assumption
Just be insistent and know that you have a right to seek a second opinion and to insist on the doctor being thorough with you. It's your health and your body and if something doesn't feel right, it isn't.
Doctors bury their mistakes Lost a 12 yo cousin before I was born to meningitis who was told he was being a naughty boy by a nurse, my Auntie never got over it and became an alcoholic
This makes me so mad. Judging people's feelings by their age is just ridiculous. With kids it's even worse. I was 5 years old when I started going to the psichologist because I refused to get out of bed and had no urge to play. It was depression. If a 5 year old can get depression, anyone can.
Didn’t happen to me but a few years back my dad went in for an ACL repair surgery. When he came out of it and got home he started complaining of a strange throbbing pain or something in his leg along his calf. He felt like something was very wrong after a few days of the pain not going away or changing and called the surgeon. The guy told him that “it’s just post operation pains” and “have your wife help you gently move the leg and massage the pained area” He did what they said and nothing changed so he went to the surgeon and demanded they do tests. To which they laughed at him and said “fine if only to humor you”. Turns out it was a mf blood clot and all that moving and massaging could have loosened it and it could have traveled to his already strained heart and killed him. The kicker is that the clot was caused because they were supposed to send him home with special braces for his leg that would have prevented it and stabilized his leg and they forgot to do that. Needless to say he was livid.
Lady Phoenix sadly docs are not fired but we are still in the midst of the malpractice suit so rest assured if we can’t drain their banks we can at least drag their practice to the depths of hell :3
Surgeons are the most likely the kind of doctors to be in it for the money; and less so to help people in general. Even other doctors says surgeons are special type of people often, when comparing doctors! You often want to avoid doctors who are only in it for the money. And in surgery, that can include them trying to save their own bacon long before they even are trying to save the patients, as in complication arising or unexpected scenarios; if not a mistake they made and they cover it up, knowing full well the patients could or will die from it! Know the difference between a coroner and a medical examiner, the former has no requirements of training, knowledge and/or experience; and the latter is the only one that is actually are a doctor! This is perhaps mostly applicable to the US, but it is probably true other places too... I'm not saying all surgeons are bad, but some might be!
Me: *is fat* Also Me: my kidneys hurt Doctor: Have u tried losing weight Me:Bruh please just help me fix my kidneys i cant magically drop 50 lbs overnight
this is such a real thing it sucks bc even if a fat person has something totally unrelated going on with them they get told to just lose weight to make it go away.. smh
The thing is.. Having more weight than your body is built to support is very damaging to your organs. It often causes them to swell because they need to work harder, bones become more brittle, and the risk of diabetes skyrockets
6:49 The doctors told my mom she was having a panic attack. She had been there several times before for them. On the day before my birthday, she had a panic attack (we still don’t know what it was) after they were done treating her, they sent her home. But she started having another panic attack because she felt something was wrong. *They just sent her home.* In the middle of a panic attack. Anyways, the next day, it’s my 13th birthday. My dad has to go on a business to trip, so my aunt and grandma come over to take care of my mom because she is still stuck in bed. Meanwhile my uncle comes to bring me and my sister(9) to their house to spend time with my two cousins. Later that day, my mom got worse. She went to the hospital... and it turns out she was having a stroke. She was only 42. The last time I got a response from her before she went under surgery was she had squeezed my hand while I was talking to her(earlier that morning). She was moved to a different hospital, where she would have better care, btw. She came out of the surgery unresponsive. Six days after my birthday, it was my uncles birthday. And on my (other)uncles birthday, my mom passed away. Our birthdays are in July, so thankfully I had the rest of summer break off. But less than two months later I was starting 8th grade with no mom. I’m going to start high school next year... And I swear, if this isn’t the worst Birthday I will ever have- I am genuinely scared. Losing my mom on my birthday was hard enough. Sorry for that, but that story just reminded me of my mom...
I'm still not sure if I have it or not, because even trying to look at the area with a speculum (narrow instrument that opens the canal so doctors can see what's going on) causes intense pain. I told my mom "on the bright side, I'll never be tempted to throw away my virginity". I've never even been able to use a tampon.
@@bluejay8422 yes, it's incredibly common for members of the same family to have it. my mother and aunt both have it, and so do i, and so did all my grandfather's sisters. only somebody incredibly uneducated would claim that members of the same family can't have it
My grandmother has this. When she was 19 she went to a doctor because she couldn't handle the pain anymore. The doctor said that she lots of scar tissue but couldn't see a source of the pain. He asked her to leave the room and from the hallway she could hear the doctor tell her parents the pain was all in her head and that she needed to she a psychiatrist. She swore to never complain about pain again. (And let me tell you she has kept that oath. Toughest person I know.) A few years later she is diagnosed with endometriosis. The new doctor told her it was so bad she would never have kids. You can imagine the doctors surprise when she told him that she had already had 4 kids. I also have a friend with pcos. I've stopped being surprised when people tell me their doctors tell then they are just being babies or not really in as much pain as the say they are. Its sadly common.
My mom was taking a medication called Wellbutrin when they suddenly changed their manufacturing without telling consumers. This changed caused my mother to have two mini strokes. She went to the closest hospital, which just so happens that her primary physician is the head doctor there. The nurses are all being extremely condescending and playing it off because (since it's not a full blown stroke) it wasn't affecting her as bad. Until... "Yeah okay... Who's your primary care physician?" "Dr. F" "Oh, okay!! We'll get these tests started right away for you!" They kinda freaked out when they realized that this woman that they were denying care to saw their boss whenever she felt like it. And knew who their boss was
went into the er with concussion symptoms, after hitting the back of my head. I was sitting up, conscious, and alert, chewing on ice chips when the MD came in.... he took one look at me and said i was fine. 3 hours later, I was back at that same ER, throwing up and barely conscious. My mom tore that doc apart, demanded his medical license information and lodged a formal complaint with the hospital and the medical board. Fun times.
Could you tell what outcome it had? Because even though most people didn't get to know, some fail to mention it when they either do know or could find out. I mean the outcome of the formal complaint, since you are obviously alive? :)
I'm no doctor, but even I know that concussions are notorious for having delayed effects. Not giving you a serious examination was absolutely criminal.
@@Nor1MAL The doctor was moved from the emergency room over to another department, past that i have no idea. no money was awarded, as no long term damage was done.
@@badlydrawnturtle8484 I ended up out of school (Freshman in college at the time) for nearly two weeks from symptoms alone, wasnt allowed to drive alone (due to vision issues) for well over 2 months. that doc is lucky he is still practicing. or at least........... i think he still is?

Lakein Lejeune I was kicked out of the hospital for not being in labor and proceeded to give birth immediately upon receipt at hospital number 2.
@@blehblehblehdracula that really pisses me off especially cause the state where I live has the highest death rates when it comes to birth (mom and baby) so the birthing process needs to be taken completely seriously especially if you're in a hospital.

The thing is, even if someone _is_ an addict, and they come in with medical issues as a result of their substance abuse, they still deserve the same level of care. If someone needs help, *they need help*. No matter what caused their condition, they deserve professional and careful treatment. Wtf is up with people.
Addicts are people too. They can get better.
Agree 100%. Was treated unfairly at a hospital in my area for uti that turned into a kidney infection that was borderline septic and barely got the care I needed because "opiate addict" was listed on my chart. Was supposed to recieve over a weeks worth of IV antibiotics and was discharged (more like kicked out) 5 days early because they didnt wanna deal with someone who was an addict. Wrote me a script for antibiotics and was back a week later only to be accused of "seeking pain medication" since I was given dilaudid for pain during my first stay. Went to the better hospital in my area and they told me if I hadn't come in that day, I could of been dead. Adhdgdjdofhfndldm I hate biased, ignorant doctors. God bless the ones at the other hospital for being understanding and saving my life.
Yeah. There was once this homeless man who basically poisoned himself with the alcoholic hand dispensers in the hospital. Alcohol in the dispensers is a different chemical than drinking alcohol in beer or wine. He had collapsed in the staff parking lot and my mom saw him after work when alot of her colleges were already helping him. Even if someone is addicted they deserve help thats what health care is for
@@grmpEqweer a lot of people don't realize that though. I used to think addicts brought it on themselves, a position not helped by the fact that my father refused to acknowledge his alcholism (and still won't) despite it putting him in the hospital twice. Then I went to a treatment center for my mental health issues, and the majority of the other patients had subtance abuse issues. It was a really eye-opening two months. Some addicts are like my father, who will probably drink until it kills him, but many can get better with help, so it's important to try to help.
Y’know if Hippokrates were alive today, I think he’d have a thing or two to say to all of these malpractices.
First rule of doctoring: First, do no harm. While the Oath doesn’t specify it in this way, that is the general idea. Paranoia isn’t paranoia once something happens to prove you should have been even more careful.
If a patient comes to a doctor saying there’s something wrong based purely on intuition or even a hunch, it is a doctor’s obligation to make sure that everything is fine before dismissing anything.
I’ve suffered from fainting spells. Heaven forbid that I say that I’m lightheaded and the walls are tinted yellow and feel like I’m going to pass out and someone says “it’s ok. Keep walking. You’re fine.”
Not an emergency but a doctor once accused me of faking fainting. So she just let me lay on the floor and walked away till another doctor picked me up and helped.
I was 7
This made me so angry
Kid: faints and gets visibally injured

Ethereal Forest nah he is faking it
I was told that having painful cramps was ‘no big deal’. One ER visit later, I woke up and was told that I was found unconscious on a bathroom floor and could only cry in pain in the ambulance. All because I had cramps.
Another time I was told I was overreacting about having strep throat. Another Er visit and I had 103.5 temp and severe case of strep.
I kept a positive outlook when I had cancer. Apprently I was ‘faking it’. Literally threw a copy of the paperwork diagnosing me, my medical bracelet at the ‘friend’ who was said I was faking it. And then showed the numerous selfies I took with my doctor and nurses throughout the process.
When in doubt, hit them with evidence.
Should have been a thick binder and hopefully, the information will stick.
Cramps are nearly always going to be atleast mildly painful, but if they are so painful you pass out, are crying, throwing up, or anything like that, you need to get that checked out. Something could be wrong.
My dr threatened to call CPS on my parents when I had a severe case of strep for not taking me to the drs sooner. I was 12. And still remember everything clearly. I had the tiniest bit of a sore throat the night before but not enough to slow me down even a little. Woke up that morning barely able to breathe. My father immediately called my drs emergency line asking if he should take me to the ER or into the office. My parents were made aware there was a problem the literal minute I became aware. And they immediately took action.
Imagine my fathers surprise when later that day he received a call from my vice principle asking why I only attended my first two classes that day and informed him they believe I committed a theft at the school that morning. Apparently the theft occurred the same time my dr was trying to get a culture.

Woman having a heart attack:
So called “doctor”: “Women don’t have heart attacks!”
Going along that same train of thought, children 15 months and younger that required surgery, were never given anesthesia until roughly 1986 because it was believed that "babies don't feel pain"
Not like women are most likely to die of heart conditions 🤦🏽♀️
@@kittycatzuka my mother in law stated loudly that children don't get headaches. like I did something wrong that caused my kid pain.... I just looked at her like she was crazy and informed her that I got headaches since I was my kid's age.
There’s unfortunately a lot of misogyny in medicine. Male doctors send women home with a heart attack in 6 out of every 9 cases. They also give women sedatives instead of painkillers. Men wait an average of 49 minutes for pain treatment. Women wait an average of 65 minutes for the same thing. There’s a hidden epidemic of “obstetric violence,” where women giving birth are physically abused by medical staff, screamed at, subjected to procedures like “the husband stitch” without her consent, and sexually abused by male doctors. 40% of women get PTSD after “complex” childbirth.
Women’s pain is seen as unimportant and not as severe as men’s. Pain for women is “expected.” Our voices simply don’t count. They never have. Women’s history is erased from view. “The Penicillin Girls” and countless other women who changed the medical world remain unknown. We instead learn about men best known for hoarding the most resources. Women will only matter when society believes we do. Until then, we should force them to hear us.
I wish it were true though
The doctors oath is "do no harm"....if you tell a patient they are faking it even though they haven't been fully tested or examined...you are actively doing more harm than good

"Kids just don't have heart conditions"
... you're a doctor surely you've heard of the word "congenital"?
My friend, Dan, had no idea he had a congenital heart condition until he came out of emergency surgery for an aortic dissection. He survived that, only to die during a surgery a month later. He was only 28.
There is a very simple, noninvasive test hospitals can perform within 48 hours of a child's birth to check for congenital heart defects, but it isn't standardized, even though these defects affect 1%. It may not seem like a lot, but, for example, the hospital my one cousin had her kids, had about 50 babies being born there a day (NJ). That is, more or less, 180 children born a year, with a heart defects, at just that one particular hospital. All they have to do is hook a pulse oximeter to the end of one of their fingers for a bit. It can save so many lives, and so much heartbreak. Dan was the nicest guy in the world. He taught kids in underprivileged neighborhoods, and made a huge difference in their lives.
@S Ventura I'm so sorry, Dan seems like a great guy
My twin sister had 2 holes in her heart. She was born with it. It took the doctors 10 FLIPPEN YEARS to figure it out!!! Also my mother has a stomach ulcer. Doctor pumped her full of drugs to stop the pain, and told her "quit doing drugs". My younger sister had an ovarian torsion. Doctors told her "eh you're not in pain, you're just faking" the pain came in waves. She wasn't having a pain wave. And you need to know my younger sister has a really high pain tolerance.

The trouble is, they're all doing this thing called a "differential diagnosis" that they're taught to do in med school--there are thousands of illnesses that could cause a general symptom like lethargy, palpitations, or pain in extremities, so to avoid running thousands of expensive tests, they check the patient's age, sex, weight, family history where available, then figure out which conditions "win" the contest of "most-likely" given this data. Rare diseases are basically never gonna win unless they are documented to run in the family, and the doctor recognizes the pattern.
omg I am literally fighting a dr right now, because I have had the symptoms of something and a locum dr told me that he is pretty sure I have this rare disorder due to an old head injury and now this dr is basically saying I can't possibly have that rare disorder after a 2nd dr actually agreed with the locum that yes that is what I am suffering from, it can be a nightmare sometimes
Actually had this happen to me. Except it was diagnosed by the top specialist in the US (at least one of the best globally) and local hospital said despite genetic testing & diagnosis that it wasn’t real. That went on from about 2010ish until January 2018 when I was contacted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in DC for studies. The hospital wasn’t that bad tho, one of the doctors saved me from 107 degree fever and 211,000 ferritin. To put those into perspective, normal temperature is about 97 and most machines can only read up to 50,000 ferritin. Said disease (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-so obscure Google autocorrect thinks those aren’t words-causing the fever) turns out to almost always be lethal when combined with the disease I was “faking” (mitochondrial disease). Lifesaver doctor is now in Louisiana (I’m in Alabama) and has been for a year. Haven’t had a flare-up since December 2016 after I almost died in August of that year.
Fluffy Fwaff I have literally had a cardiologist tell me that I couldn’t have a condition because ‘it’s too rare’. Like he has some kind of quota and once it’s full no more people can have it. I went elsewhere and yeah, turns out I’m one of those rare people. Thinking back on it still makes me angry.
:’)
the epi-pen story made me mad and i don’t even have allergies lol, it’s just the fact the security guard was trying to use the pen on the girl’s arm 😭😭, even i know that it’s supposed to go in your thigh
Bro ikr, I was going into anaphylactic shock at school and this substitute nurse said I was having anxiety
As a guard, I would tell my employers that injecting someone else on duty was an extremely high liability risk action for me and I REALLY REALLY would not want to do that.
Basically I'm only going to inject/ treat an unconscious person under a good Samaritan legal umbrella, preferably on the phone to 911, and never if the person can do it themselves.
It could be a bad injection, and then I'm on the hook. Nope nope nope nope nope.
Me too
Me too. Like.. that's common sense. How can someone be that stupid?
i find that so strange tbh... here one of the first things we're taught when allergies start being mentioned in health class is "blue to the sky, orange to the thigh"
Not gonna lie...this episode right here. It pissed me off 🤨
MY MIND IS EXPLODING WITH RAGE!
Same it makes me want to beat them within an inch of their life!
Derek Cox and then say that they’re faking it
SAME I AM PISSED!!!
I know right. Some of these people die.
Doctor in TV-shows: HMMM this mysterious disease* sure is mysterious! I will not rest until I have figured out exactly what is going on here!
Doctor in reality: um lol no u faking it
Exactly😒
lolololol exactly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me: *routinely hurts my knee just walking or in sports*
Specailist looking at MRI and X-rays: you're faking it. You're not getting worse, you want drugs.
Me: I havent been taking more than Tylenol....
Specialist: you're lying and I am dropping your case.
*Years later*
Chiropractor does x-ray: yeah your HIPS are dramatically lopsided. Which would explain the knee, back, and leg pain completely. If you do not get this corrected you will need multiple surgeries to do so within the next few years at most.
Same on the pain meds. Like I have daily headaches and I literally avoid meds like its the plague. Rather smash my head into something lol.
The fact that it was your chiropractor and not the doctor that recommended treatment says something
I had a nurse tell me I was drug seeking when I was crying in pain (two days after major surgery).
Turns out my internal sutures busted.
I was livid.
I would fucking EXPLODE on a doctor if something like what the people in the video suffered happened to me, I would just leave any professionalism behind and just start throwing the loudest yells and insults I could do, making sure everyone hears how much of a dumbass that doctor is, as we all know, ten years in med school doesn't heal stupidity
I would burn their car and fake degree to ash I fucking hate some doctors
If a doctor (non-hospital) tells you you’re better off than you actually are, call an ambulance and go to the hospital immediately because that doctor’s not worth your time. If you’re already at the hospital and they misjudge, demand what you know you need until you get it. If you never get it and something seriously wrong happens, SUE THEM.
They do this because they're getting in trouble for handing out strong pain meds, there's a lot of suburban people nowadays addicted to opioids.
That sounds like it hurt a fuck ton
My doctor accused me of faking being disabled
Because a seven year old knows how to fake paralysis on an almost daily basis... right
Oh yes - my favorite hobby when I was seven.

My mom had meningitis when I was in third grade, the doctor thought she was faking to get drugs, (Which i don’t think is really possible) when they finally realized she was going to die in like a day they decided to give her the medicine and she ended up being fine
Holy lucky.
I'm glad she's alright, some fucking Doctors man.
Marshall's Law k I’m sorry?
My doctor didn't dismiss my meningitis as attention seeking, because I was a toddler and barely even moved. He just thought it was a flu but I was like 4 hours short of death in the hospital. I don't blame the doc. He's a great doctor and I only showed flu symptoms.

i was at the hospital after a mental health emergency which had been a three week long manic episode, untreated. they insisted it was “all in my head” like ya. my brain’s sick lol ofc its in my head
of course mental illness is in your head thats where the depression is located
My dad, "the depression is all in your head!" Me, "yes Dad that's why its called MENTAL illness"
So stupid. My doctor listened when I told her I didnt wanna say I had depression but it was they only way I could describe it. Once I was on meds for that my OCD and anxiety spiked cuz the depression was controlled. My doctor has treated my moms side of the family since like I was born (I'm 24) so she has been aware of the family history with mental and physical illness. She caught it right away
But of course told my dad I had depression and was on meds his response, "what do you have to be depressed about?" Yea cue me screaming into the phone (he lives 8 hours away and I was 17 at the time) that our relationship may factor or y'know the HUGE family history of depression on both sides of my family >.
nico ! AND YOUR BRAIN IS AN ORGAN!!
When I was fifteen, I had back pains for months. I casually mentioned having had jumped off the bed and landing on my ass hard to my mom, so she assumed that was the cause of my symptoms. My doctors found no reason to disagree with her and had two shots of cortisone to the back which was pretty traumatizing because I'm autistic and have a severe fear of needles. Unfortunately, this doesn't help. Eventually, it gets to the point where I can't even stand up straight. We were visiting my aunt, who lives two counties away, so we ended up going to a hospital near there instead of my regular doctor. The guy who comes into examine me is a medical student, and instantly I can see my mom is worried that he doesn't know what he's doing. I tell him my symptoms and how we went to my regular doctors whose efforts were unhelpful. Without missing a beat, the medical student said: "have you been tested for a UTI?" Instantly I can see my mom mentally kicking herself. I get tested and come back positive for an upper urinary tract infection. Literally by the next day, I'm feeling a hundred percent back to normal. My mom still apologizes to me for not realizing it sooner, but I don't blame her. That medical student will forever be a badass in my mind though. The guy correctly diagnosed me when two doctors with about sixty years of experience between them failed to see, and he wasn't even a doctor yet. Amazing.
Several years ago, my husband was having lightening migraines- severe pain that hits like a lightening bolt, last for just a few minutes, then disappear just as quickly.
I knew lightening migraines were bad, I just didn't know why, so I made him go to the doctor.
Doctor, immediately suspects hubby has a hole in his heart- and he was right!! This very specific hole causes lightening headaches, and will eventually cause all kinds of damage, and he guessed it in one!! It was absolutely amazing!
I'm not religious but God bless him.
Med students are good because they're straight out of school so they remember more and are useful if you diagnose someone
@@lavonnegreene8911 Also because they learn fresher/more recent knowledge that those old fools (from OP's experience at least) may have not known, or forgotten.
I'm happy you got the treatment you needed. I, too, had a uti that turned into a kidney infection and was one step away from going to my bloodstream (aka blood infection, aka sepsis, aka deadly af) and because "opiate addict" was written on my chart, they only gave me 3 days worth of IV antibiotics when I should have recieved more than a weeks worth and "discharged " (more like kicked me out) early cause apparently addicts arent people and arent worthy of medical care. Ended up going to the better hospital in my area and they told me if I hadn't come in that day, I could of been dead because I was septic at this point. So thankful they were understanding. I hate biased, ignorant, incompetent doctors. They hold people's lives in their hands.... I just dont understand why they'd pick a profession like this if they act and treat people in this manner. Ugh. End of rant.
LPT: If a doctor ever refuses to give you a test/treat you, tell them to document their refusal in your chart. They'll think twice about denying you.
I'd also get a copy of that refusal.
SLPT: if that doesn’t work, pull out a knife
Pretty bad tip. All testing and procedures have to be deemed medically necessary. Just because you want a test does not deem it necessary.
Tests cost money, and most importantly, time. Time that some people really don't have much of. If a doctor doesn't think a test is necessary (not because he just feels like it, but because he was trained to decide such things) it will not be performed, in case there is somebody that definitely needs it.
The shotgun approach is not an effective one. There are many people who need help.
All that being said, doctors are people. People fuck up.
@@SwarmofAngryBees I agree. Testing is pretty costly. However, I still think its important for the doctor to note that they did not do a test.
I broke my ribs when I was 7. Told my mom. She said I was faking. I still had to go to gymnastics. Later, had an abdominal x-ray (i had appendicitis). Two healed ribs, no doctors visit. Cps called. Fun times

To be honest, the one that pisses me off the most is when they say, "oh, you're just a TEENAGER! LOLOL you're just looking for ATTENTION! You don't have problems, you're just looking for attention!" That royally offends me, because it carries with it the implicit attitude that the kid doesn't deserve attention. Or empathy.
A teenager wants attention? So WHAT? GIVE THEM SOME ATTENTION. Otherwise you're going to be one of those parents who wakes up every morning for the rest of your life and then remembers, "oh... yeah... my child committed suicide..."
“it’s just growing pains!”
Right, okay Linda. All kids go through that fun stage where their joints sublux and shift and need to be physically snapped back into place.
Yeah. My family calls this phase “The Shift”, and we usually celebrate it since it is a sign of wisdom, and maturity.

"Kids don't have heart problems."

Blurgamer 17 It’s more common than you’d think, and kids usually grow out of it, but if it DOESN’T disappear, then your doctor should be concerned.
@@Artist-128 Luckily for me, I don't have that problem anymore. For those who have it still, I have a friend who had to get it surgically closed.
I dated a guy who was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was in middle school. After a particularly rough gym practice he was rushed to the hospital they ignored it at first but later diagnosed him
Blurgamer 17 same here!
A friend of mine has a moving hearth, she didn't tell her friends and just fainted one day while on a camp. It took us 2 hours to hunt down her brother who could tell us what happened. She could die 3 years from the last time they checked her hearths movement in her chest.
My severe case of hypothyroidism was just pushed off as ”mentally made up pain and sickness” meaning doctors told me that my dizzyness, nausea and tiredness were just symptoms of my diagnosed anxiety/panic disorder and that i was only faking pains so i could get time off school.
That continued for a year, me going to different public healh care (because it's free) doctors, them only asking me some questions, reading my older doagnoses of mental illness and them just telling me that it's just mental and it will go away if i want to get better mentally. Finally i went to a private doctor and paid 250€ and got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. He asked me actual questions and was genuinely concerned. He took my blood samples and was shocked at how i was still up and able to work and go to school. He said that people with the same blood test results were often in the hospital. I'm still mad at how the feelings of my own body that i felt were pushed as mental. I spent a year in my life just like a zombie, not doing anything and feeling sick all the time. I wish i could get that year back.
That is why universal health care is a very bad idea.
How high was your tsh if you don't mind me asking ?
(I have a rare form of hypothyroidism (and other health issues who were there previously but i'll keep that private ) so i feel you :( )
@@dianaklien1560 ...universal healthcare would've given this person more options, actually.
I am lucky that the people around me growing up did not brush everything aside, like my craving for milk or always being tired. While I do think I have mental issues and I know I am stressed as heck, they did tests and put me on medication for hypothyroidism. Thanks to this it was found my mom and younger sister do too. ( and my aunt with hyperthyroid, had to have it killed) the doctors I have met seem to take all the high risk factors and genetics into thought thankfully. But I have also had my shaare of nurses, ER vists nd doctors passing things off and ' your fine, wasting my time,, thx for the visit and monay buh bye' for serious issues though. Then there are the school nurses who I hate as everyone of them seem incompetent and do not believe you being sick unless you throw up in their face and then oh, you could just be faking it. AND they have been females in my experience but are they really if they can't believe you when you come down barely able to function because of severe period pains? I don't understand why, as a female who did not have those issues would take it as just over reacting? Actually thaaat goes for anyone. People who never experienced it so they call baloney? That i hate. Just stupid. Dont know why I ended up ranting here but okay then. I am sorry it was just waved off for you. It can get really serious/ life threatening too. After I had been off my thyroid medicine for over 4 months ( because they may take seriousness and push for testing, but they suck at getting rhe medicine monthly and making appointments, no matter how much you ask / remind/ tell them too) I wound up really sick and had multiple ER visits becaue of episodes I started having, seeing I have hypothyroidism and have not taken it,, they checked and of course my levels for whatever its called I dont remember, they checked for and it was not good. They said I need to be taking my medicine and something aabout a coma? I dunno but anyways Ill be done here😅
Wish easily testable things were just delt with
Yeah pressing pain feels better than leaning away from the pain
I always press the pain
It's proven 9/10 people chase pain they lean into where the pains coming from. (Ex: stomach hurts cradle it) (Ex. Heart hurts clutch it) (Ex. Hair being pulled lean into it) (Ex. Arm hurts grab it)
Mine was completely instinctual. I had gotten into a car wreck and when I had my mind back with me I was sitting in the drivers seat my hat knocked off glasses tangled in my hair and cradling my wrist. Before this I had never broken a bone before or anything really that serious but I knew not to try and move the whole arm pretty much. I had to fight even more not to move it because it was my dominant hand.
Every time I'm in pain (which is often because I have quite a few health problems) I'll either hold the area that's hurting (Ex. my arm) or cradle it and push on it (Ex. holding my arms around my stomach and pushing on it) and it always helps until the pain goes away or until I take painkillers
I always did this until I got an abscess in my tooth and my whole chin was full of puss and fluid, pressing it was the only way to make the absolutely agonising pain go away but then leant that by doing that, I was spreading all that fluid lower and basically making it worse for myself so now I’m too scared to press on pain ever again lmao
I get headaches alot and like the story I lean on the pain alot
Patient: *breaks their leg*
Doctor: You're just trying to get attention. Walk it off.
Bone sticking out of my leg and blood spraying from severed arteries
Nurse: here's some ice now go back to class
Jessica Jennings that’s really funny because when i actually broke my leg i thought it was a pulled muscle and actually tried to walk it off and didnt go to the hospital until i realized the pain didnt go away after and hour and a half
featured: a venn diagram of doctors refusing to do their jobs, doctors that have no business being doctors, & people that deserve to get pimp slapped. it's a circle.
When you handle pain so well you're accused of handling pain poorly.
Yup I don't feel pain at all except my balls. Doctor said my parents were drug addicts and wanted pain medicine untill a a doctor said my right arms has got 12 deep lashes on it and my left arm had 50 cuts 6 being extrmly deep. I got a lot of stiches the nurse's got fired because they were stealing drugs and wanted to kick us out to keep their drug supplies big I found out because I saw them stealing drugs told a police officer their.

This is absolutely terrifying have a nice day.
Especially hearing that most of these are women and God knows how some doctors don’t want to listen to women,,,
Then they don't need to be doctors.
I remember sitting around the table in our staff lounge telling my coworkers about the doctor conclusively calling my symptoms (muscle spasms, palpitations, hot flashes, etc.) “anxiety” without even trying to placate me by listening to my heart. My mom (she’s an RN and was pissed he didn’t take me seriously) had to sit on the phone with me and drill me at length before we realized I was having a dangerous reaction to something I was ingesting.
Then everyone started telling their stories. Every woman in there had had at least one serious medical problem that had been misdiagnosed as “anxiety.” This included one woman who really had ovarian cancer (she died months later, and had lost precious time before the diagnosis), and another who had almost hemorrhaged to death after going home from delivering a baby and her bleeding not being taken seriously by a doctor over the phone. Another had been having serious pain over a long period of time, but had been poo-poohed by doctors as it being psychological for months. She actually had to have her gallbladder removed. I wish I could remember more of the stories, but it was every woman-and the men in there all had similar stories about their wives/moms, etc.
It’s pretty scary, really. It has affected when I go to the doctor, too. I had an excruciatingly painful problem that I was worried would end up being nothing, so I put off going in, thinking it would get better. It didn’t, and I had one of the most painful medical conditions you can have and ended up in emergency surgery. Even when I was dry-heaving, sweating, and shaking in pain, I was still afraid it was not going to be taken seriously. And when we were waiting in the waiting room, they didn’t prioritize me at all until my husband asked twice at the desk if he needed to take me to another hospital. They kept telling him there were “six people ahead of her.” I was scaring kids with my screaming, and freaking everyone out, and they still didn’t think to triage me appropriately.
I’m pretty sure if it had been my husband in that kind of pain, they would have taken it seriously, and I think the only reason they finally bumped me up the list is because my husband was insisting that I needed to be seen.
Bissan Obaid That sucks so much. The coworker of mine went to her university health center first, too. It was her gallbladder, but for months they told her it was in her head, and she actually started believing she might be going crazy.
I had cysts like yours starting at around 19. People should take that kind of pain seriously, especially in someone so young. My family doctor caught it right away back then, but a cyst is what caused my ovary to twist on itself until it went necrotic and I needed the emergency surgery last year-decades after I was first diagnosed. The pain was mind-blowing. I was told I had a 10 cm cyst on my ovary and the weight of it started the twisting. That cyst even caused me to lose a lot of blood during surgery. Cysts are no joke.
I think the best way to make sure you get good care is to have a good doctor who can get to know you. I’ve found that strangers are the ones who typically get it wrong. When you don’t know someone, it’s easier for them to not take you seriously, When a doctor sees you consistently and gets to know you, they notice more when you are feeling something that isn’t normal for you. And they are less likely to brush you off. I’m incredibly lucky with the doctor I have now-she’s amazing, and I’ve been with her for nine years now. The ones who have misdiagnosed or blown off symptoms were almost always people I hadn’t seen before.
When you have to see a new doctor for something routine, try to see someone a friend recommends and make sure you mention it when you see the doctor. That will give you a personal connection and the doc will probably associate you with your friend until you develop a rapport in your own. If you can’t get a referral at a regular visit or it’s serious and you need urgent care, always bring a friend. They seem to take things more seriously when there is an audience, and your friend can help make sure they do.
I know my posts here are super long, so I apologize for that. Best of luck to you, and I hope you find a great new doctor (I hope you ditch the one you saw first!).
Its not really a women thing, its an age thing. Notice how 90% of the stories were all not believed because they were young and young people "never have problems"

Went to the ER with my leg swelled up about 3 times its normal size, bright red, and full of the worst pain I've ever experienced. When they took me back, after they took back a kid with a sprained ankle mind you, they asked me my pain level. Between sobs I said "10/10" and the doctor looked at me and said, "it's not a 10." Around 2 hours later they said it was just a mild infection and I should go home and sleep it off. Luckily my primary care doctor insisted I had some more tests done because something was very wrong. Well after an ultrasound and a 4 hour MRI I'm rushed into emergency surgery in the middle of the night. Turns out I had flesh-eating bacteria. If I went home like the original doctor said I could've died the next day. I'm still insanely thankful to my primary care doctor for advocating for me and saving my life.
PLEASE tell me you sued
"Massive swelling, inflammation, and extreme pain... hmm, you're fiiiiiine."
Nicole Miller The first doctor was sued... right?
Thank goodness for your primary care doc, I'm glad you're ok x
what flesh eating bacteria?
The fact that this question is asked/there are legit answers absolutely sickens me.
Welcome to America. Now watch someone defend this kind of thing.
16 minutes worth of answer and those are only the ones that got picked for the video... Shit like this is how my hormone disorder wasn't diagnosed for 1 1/2 years after my symptoms started. I wound up being over weight (from the disorder screwing my metabolism) before I found a doctor who finally diagnosed me. Now my body has stretch marks where I wouldn't have had any because I was ignored every time I told a doctor (4 or 5 of them idr) something was wrong with me. My husband was in a wreck went to the hospital for the pain the day after they told him he was just sore to rest at home. Went for another opinion he had blood in his kidneys and a broken rib.

This is messssed uppp
Acupuncture isn’t even a concrete treatment for anything is it?
i have diagnosed anxiety but my doctor was decent enough to actually do check ups when i complained of heart palpitations. We concluded i have them more than average people for unnamed reasons but since they arent dangerous, its fine. When I first went in i was scared theyd instantly show me the door and say "well d0h, you have anxiety" but i was pleasantly suprised they took me seriously
i had the opposite problem... kept complaining of dizziness and weird heart things going on, went to the doctors and asked about it got blood tests and xrays because they thought i had some heart problem like my mum... months later lol nope you have anxiety cheers have fun with that

If you don't trust and want to help people, don't make it your job.
Too many police and doctors forget why they became such.
They didn't forget. They became those things for the money. They never had any actual intention of caring about anyone; they just wanted a well paying job.
@@darenabryant9100 How about you watch a few dozen people die before your eyes and say that?
Emergency services are not in it for the money.
Police officers and EMTs aren't rich. Only the cushy positions get it good. The job itself is what corrupts. A pharmacist knowingly peddling painkillers because his doctor's a dumbass, a surgeon slips into an artery, kills his patient in seconds, a SWAT unit praying they won't get killed every second inside a hotspot, a first responder hopelessly giving cpr to an infant, an operator listening as someone is murdered over the phone, helpless to do anything- it's not worth the 20 dollars an hour, or the meager salaries some get, or the copy-paste benifits package.
The only ones making money are lawyers, tax preps, businessmen, and shareholders, and most of them are psychopaths anyways. They profit off of micromanaging suffering and statistics, manipulation and omittence.
If you want money, you step on others to climb. March over everyone in your way.
Incompetent or overwhelmed enforcement and treatment professionals are nothing like those snakes.
People faking it is a big problem though, plus everybody thinks their problem is the biggest emergency and should be prioritised.

I’m not gonna even bother facepalming because of how stupid I’ve been until now, I’m just glad someone finally told me! Thank you!
to be fair to doctors they do have to ask bc a lot of drugs people take can react badly with drugs they give you in hospital. For example if you take crack and then go to a dentists the reaction with the anaesthesia will kill u
@@Desca006 while that may be, badgering or disbelieving patients about drug/alcohol is counterproductive. I also acknowledge patients can be stupid and try to find loopholes. For example: I don't drink or smoke, I stopped doing that about a week ago.

“Kids don’t have heart problems”
A kid in my class had a heart problem when she was less than one year old soooooooooooo FRICK THAT
Awesome F.T. Frags I have a friend who has only three chambers in his heart
"woman don't have heart attacks"
Yeah they do.
khloegachagirl hi we just ignore the symptoms because we already have a ton of other crap and we survive them
Some people are born with heart problems
My cousin had to get surgery right after she was born because she had heart problems
Long story time!
I used to have super heavy periods back in jr high. My period was super unreliable and so I would have to wear a tampon and pad at all times and change the tampon every class. A lot of the times I ended up not packing enough for the day because my periods would decide to fluctuate on heaviness. I would pack 9 and would end up needing 1 extra.
I would go to the nurse to ask for an extra tampon and pad. I did this almost every month on my period.
There was one period I had that was suuuper heavy(honestly so heavy I should've been checked out by a doctor but I used to think it was normal) . I went to nurses office to ask for a tampon and a pad because I ran out.
The nurse looked at me and laughed, pointed out the door and told me to go to class because I'm "faking it" and I just want to get out of class. I refused to leave and she had me escorted out.
Once I was outside of the office I was obviously fuming and very very self-conscious and embarrassed. I immediately called my mom and told her that the nurse refused to give me a tampon and pad because she thought I was faking my period.
My mom had to take time off work to bring me a tampon and pad from home and by the time she got to school, I was in the bathroom because I had bled all over myself, my pants were blood soaked and I was hiding. My mom gave me the tampon and pad and then her jacket so that I could hide my blood stained pants.
Let me tell you, my mom flew off the handle. She first went in with me and asked the nurse what the problem was. The nurse told my mom that I was "lazy and skipped class all the time to come get a tampon and pad from the nurses office" and that she refused me because she was "tired of it".
First of all, I didnt go in all the time. I went in only once or twice on my period weeks, once a month!
My mom started yelling in the nurses face saying "shes a teenage GIRL! Their periods are super unreliable and out of all the people you should know this especially!" She then proceeded to argue with the nurse who was adamant. My mom brought up how it was illegal for her to deny medical service to a student without proof and that she was wondering if the principal knew what the nurse had did. The nurse stopped and started to try to justify her actions suddenly submissivley like I torment her or something. Me, a 13 year old girl that only comes in for my asthma(I was required to) and periods(once a month) and started playing it like me, the student, causes her so much grief and how I apparently guilt trip her or something.
This fired my mother up even more and my mom went straight into the principals office since his door was open, put her hand down on his desk (the nurse was quickly following behind her obviously scared now that shes gonna be exposed) and my mom says really loudly "did you know that my daughter just bled all over herself and her clothes to the point of hiding in the bathroom until I had to come to rescue her because your nurse refused to provide her with a pad and tampon AND accused my daughter of lying? Is this the kind of school you run? Where young girls going through puberty hide in the bathrooms because they accidentally bleed all over themselves and have to call their parents to come save them when it's the nurses JOB to provide them these things when needed?"
The nurse didnt get fired, but oh man, suddenly she instead of working all week, worked mondays and Thursdays without working at another school or job.
Apparently I learned after the incident that she had a habit of refusing a lot of girls tampons because she was lazy and just liked to be mean.
I'm surprised that bitch didn't get a bloody tampon or pad thrown in her face at some point after accusing girls of faking their periods. It makes me so mad that some teachers/school staff think they can bully girls with period issues because they know they'll be too embarrassed to stand up to them.
@@saammmy7 yeah it was pretty disgusting. If I can recall i think i was also missing something really important in that class when i went to the nurses. The funny thing is that i went inbetween classes before my next one even started like you're supposed to and i stayed in the bathroom for the duration of that whole class and half of the next one too.
My school's nurse office is pretty chill about that. If you need a pad, tampon, band-aid, even just a tissue, they let you walk in and take it. Her problem, however (same deal with both my current high school nurse and my former middle school nurse) is that she will only EVER decide to send you home if you have a fever of 100 F or more. Had a classmate in middle school who threw up in front of the nurse and was told to go back to class. They just don't understand that not every contagious disease/medical problem involves a fever. What really ticks me off? The sign in every nurse's office that says "Stop the spread of germs, stay home when you're sick!" Hypocrites.
@@dbseamz that's pretty shitty considering theres a nurse code at the school that is a 100% requirement that needs to be followed under all circumstances. It's that if you throw up for any reason(besides just nervousness), you HAVE to go home or be kept in the nurse until schools out. If the nurses dont follow that rule, they get in huge trouble.
You’ve got a good mom
“Kids don’t just get heart conditions.”
😒 Yes they do. Get over yourself.
Oh, Applesauce my son had a heart condition from 6 months to 3 1/2 years old! Very scary!!! Wasn’t supposed to ever get better. Was never supposed to play any sports, and was supposed to have to have surgeries to replace his heart valves due to heart enlargement. After 3 years of 2 heart medications, digoxin and amioderone , his specialist walked back into the room after tests to tell us that it was nothing short of a miracle. They could not even tell that there has ever been a problem with his heart ❤️ GOD IS SO GOOD! He is 20 and 💯 healthy today! ❤️
My aunt died before my dad was born because she had a heart condition and two holes in her heart
How on earth did this doctor not know that? Even if they got their degree from s degree mill, anyone with the most basic of medical knowledge could tell you that kids can have all sorts of heart conditions.
A neighbor and childhood friend of my sister died of a heart condition when she was 6. Feelsbadman
There is a large stigma around children and mental health also that needs to be addressed how come ignoring the elephant in the room is any less serious

Ginger MLG actually his X ray was accidentally switched with another person by a nurse so they couldn’t detect the tumor in his head early enough to prevent the cancer. The nurse was pulled into a trap but was saved by Jigsaw after everyone else was forcefully pulled away because he thought the nurse shouldn’t die from an honest mistake and he took the nurse under his wing. It also wasn’t Jigsaw 3, it was a more recent one I think 2018.

@@smonge98 I understand that people who work at the hospital get a large amount of trivial patients, but it doesn't excuse negligence. You took an oath before you entered the medical field, so take it seriously.

Heart deformality: I am about to ruin this whole man's career.
When I was in the military, I tripped on a tree root and fell into a hole. It felt like a sprained ankle/foot, so I kept going through the obstacle course. Afterwards, we marched two miles back to the barracks. By the time we got back, I could barely stand weight on my right leg. Went to the clinic, was told it was a sprain and after two days rest I was back to full duties. The thing was, I didn't get better. My foot swelled three times it's size, I couldn't fit it in my boots/sneakers, it was so badly discolored that it looked black/dark blue. Every time I went to the clinic, they'd just look at my folder, say it is a sprain. After six months, a clinic doctor basically outright accused me of malingering and threatened if I ever came back to the clinic that he'd have me written up for insubordination.
After leaving the military, and still convinced that my pain was all in my head, I finally went to a podiatrist because I was miserable. Three years after my fall I learned the truth, my foot was broken and had been the entire time I was in the military. Because I sucked it up and stopped trying to get help I had effectively shattered the broken bone and grind the pieces every time I set foot to pavement. Jagged bone shards had embedded in muscle, nerves, and my joints. When I went under for surgery to try and fix the damage, the surgeon (a former trauma surgeon) started to cry when he said internally it looked more like a foot caught in a bomb blast. He couldn't believe I managed to walk for as long as I did without anyone thinking that it was more than a sprain. All a doctor really needed to do was look at the obvious signs that something was wrong.
I've had to go through eight surgeries to try and stabilize the foot as much as is possible, but the nerve damage and massive scar tissue (skin was fused to the bone in 1/3 of the foot prior to first surgery) is irreversible. I never imagined I would be stuck with a wheelchair before I was 25, all because my pain was dismissed and I was almost completely convinced that I was going crazy (while my limb was literally dying).
I'm sorry that happened to you. It's a shame we can't trust senior military. Soldiers deserve better.
Go back there in your wheelchair and say “I’d like to speak with the dumbass who told me it was a sprain”
@LL I didn't sue, but I did file an appeal of my discharge because I had plenty of evidence to show that my physical condition at the time of my separation merited medical discharge instead of a general one. The change allowed me to get a pension and I get treatments for my busted leg at the VA. I only got a year's worth of back pay, and all of it went to medical bills.
@@DD-d6d3 As bad as it was, I don't regret any of my time I served, and I would sign up again if they'd let me. It was frustrating having to give up on my career because I physically unable. I spend a lot of time volunteering with veterans, the upside of being in constant severe pain for the past 20 years is that I have developed pretty strong coping techniques. It isn't much, but it is the best I can do.
On memorial day, thank you for what you gave up, and fuck military healthcare providers/ veteran healthcare providers for being responsible for so many injuries and deaths.
This story is all according to my parents, so here it goes.
When I was around 2 1/2 years old I had broken my arm, from riding a Barbie car off of a recliner (don't ask). They brought me into the hospital the next morning because I was complaining, and when we met with the doctor, he rotated my arm in every possible direction while I was screaming and crying, and said it was just a sprain. We are sent home and my complaints do not stop. The *VERY NEXT DAY* we come in to the *SAME HOSPITAL* meet with the *SAME DOCTOR* and he says my are was broken in 3 places. Yeah he got fired.
Honestly breaking an arm like that sounds like something i would do. I was 4 when I broke my arm. So this guy i was playing tag with tripped over a curb and was laying in the ground and then i tripped over the same curb and over him. Fun times
Sucks for that doctor
Are= auto correct what you, meant to say = arm
Okay, bit older than you guys, but when I was either 5 or 6, some adults that were watching me at that time, introduced me to this horse pen, with one horse in it, which was a stallion. I had been around horses before, but that were horses that was especially temperate, because kids rode them; something I think the adults that were watching me knew. I had never seen a stallion before that, and I had no knowledge about it or how it would behave differently. The adults thought bringing me to the pen without any warning and not holding me was a great idea, especially considering that the pen was nowhere child proof (it was just made of wooden beams, with large openings for a kid to jump straight through).
Guess what, I ran into the pen and towards the horse, where I then stopped the moment I realized this horse was completely different from what I had seen before. I was about to run back, when the horse intentionally came towards me (it happened quick, it had space to avoid me, so it wasn't cornered or anything) before being able to do so. It turned around and I got kicked by a stallion by it's hind legs into my forearm, because I guess I put them up as a instinct/reaction to protect my face and chest. Not only did I survive that short levitation trick (I was kicked a substantial length), but I didn't cry much either or at all (I also ran back to the adults in that situation outside the pen; and no, my parents weren't there). I was sent to hospital eventually, and even though I had a large bruise/bump near my fucking elbow, they only x-rayed the middle of the forearm! Because yeah, it is most likely broken there because the bone is thinner there, than where I was actually hit, right? Even fucking little me back then thought it was stupid to X-ray where they did (they had a light with a shadow cross to indicate where the x-ray were going to be), because I had a large bump near my elbow and I had no pain where they were x-raying...
It was sprained or similar according to the doctor, I was sent home with fucking elastic bandages! I remember how hard it was to sleep that night, if I even got sleep. I think not even the next day, my asshole bigger brother, forced me to sit on the steering bar of his bicycle, down a long asphalt road. I knew it was a bad idea, but he is a fucking sadistic asshole, someone I have cut all contact with in adult life now, so yeah, that amount of asshole, still forced me to sit on it.
I knew he would fuck up, because I HAD ONLY ONE WORKING ARM! Ofc I fell from fucking handlebars, which might been intentional from my brother, and I was sent to hospital again. Then the fucking idiots at the hospital managed to fucking realize their fuckup, and actually xray me at the right place, because the fracture was much more obvious the day after! I think they tried to blame it on the fall from the bike, but my mom called on their bullshit! But in hindsight, it was actually a good thing my brother did that, even though I did not like the fucking pain I felt from falling...
Yeah, doctors in the 80's were not that great (which this was in), since they thought infants didn't feel pain (took about till the later parts of the 80's before they all realized THAT FUCKUP!)... Yeah, just because someone isn't crying or complaining about massive pain, doesn't mean they are not hurt!
Yeah, that is the only time I have fractured a bone in my life, and I have had some pretty serious accidents and falls in my life, one which was falling 3.2 meters (~10.5 feet) onto concrete on my back, which the worst was getting my wind beaten out and a mother of all papercuts (was most likely a cardboard box)! A laceration above my foot, took 18 stitches, which they considered 36 stitches, because of the depth. Because the skin is so tight there, the gash was more than 5 cm wide (about 2 inches).
Which is coincidentally the story that is closest to "doctors thinking I was faking it". I didn't even feel it, it was first when my friend and coworker pointed it out, after a few minutes (we were in shorts, it was summer). We first tried to bandaid it or similar before going to get it treated, but when the rollout bandaid you cut to length was acting like a suspended bridge over the wound by the hairs on my leg, did we give up that idea and I went to my father in the next room, who was busy with phones. I told him I needed to speak with him, but he said after he was done on the phone (was likely a somewhat important call). It was then I pulled my foot onto the table, and he just said in the phone "I need to call you back" and we drove right away to the hospital.
We got to a hospital, and the waiting room was surprisingly empty. We talked to a nurse through this ridiculous small opening in the wall, told her I had a severe cut in my leg that needed stitches, because I had a hard fall, where I also hit my head (not to mention my life flashing before me while falling, it felt almost like an lifetime! Because time went that slow, I managed to prepare my fall to hit my head the least possible, by curving my back). Yeah, she gave me papers to fill out and didn't even ask to see the cut or examine me for concussion or anything! After about 45 minutes, with the only other patients there being kids with parents that was just coughing a tiny bit being called in before me (They were called in intentionally slow, if you catch my drift!). I went up to the fucking ridiculous hole in the wall, asked what the fuck they were doing, and at the first moment of the stupid nurse trying to debate me or similar, I pulled my leg up to the fucking stupid hole (it was quite high, but I was quite flexible back then, I would probably not been able to do it today), and the moment she saw the relatively large wound, she stopped what she was saying and called me right in. IIRC, the doctor apologized on behalf of the nurse, because after the doctor heard what had happened, and what she had scribbled down, she were supposed to have done a lot more than she did than just handing me papers to fill and return! She obviously learned from the experience, since I saw the shock in her eyes when she realized her mistake of dismissing me because I didn't show signs of pain etc. After all, it didn't even hurt that much even when I lifted my leg up to her stupid "peeping hole"... But that does still not excuse her for calling in other patients that had no new or serious symptoms before me, which I found out afterwards...
I had an instance where when I was in seventh grade I got sick. I went to the urgent care nearby and talked to the guy about chest pains, and all he said was that it was growth pain. My mom wasn’t satisfied with that answer, so we went to another. The other gave me antibiotics saying it was strep, but. Anyway, days later I couldn’t move without being in excrutiating pain. Was driven to the ER. I was transported to three different hospitals, but I passed out on the helicopter ride to the second. Apparently, I coded in the ambulance on the way to the third hospital, and even though I was revived, it wasn’t guaranteed that I would survive.
(Basically what had happened was that the flu had lodged inside of my heart and caused my heart to not only be surrounded by fluid, but it made it start beating irregularly.)
Obviously I’m fine now, I made a full recovery after about a year or two. But.
My mom now doesn’t trust urgent care doctors and will take me straight to the ER if I feel any pain in my chest or anything now.

@@Nor1MAL If this is specifically about the heart attack one then it's not even rare for women to have heart attack just not as common as men. What they don't tell you though is that often the symptom of a heart attack for women can differ from men, it can even differ between races, symptoms of a black guy might not present the same as a white guy. A lot of medical practices (at least in the u.s.) are modelled around men (specific white men) and so studies into the differing symptoms between men, women, and varying races isn't done very well or thoroughly and a lot of people aren't well informed about the symptoms of a heart attack except for the ones prevalent in men. But the person said their great grandmother so I assume this was waaaaaay back in the day in which case you can pretty much pick up that sexism was the cause of that poor woman's demise.

For 16 years I have been "randomly" getting sick and occassionally passing out and whenever my mom or I brought it up to my family doctor, he would tell me just to sleep more. He was out of the office last week when I fainted twice in the same day so I ended up going to the ER and getting diagnosed with anhidrosis.
So basically, I've been suffering from heatstroke for most of my life because my doctor just assumed I was tired. Even if that was the case, he should have done some kind of test to see if I was an insomniac or a narcoleptic.

Next I knew she was fighting the urge to strangle him because he just said "that's just teens!" And sent us home. A month later, I had a scan and showed I had a brain tumor....I'm fine now. The doctor was so so sorry.
Thank goodness you're okay :)

10:24 a similar thing happened to me when i was 5. went to multiple doctors and every one of them insisted i had the flu. then finally one doctor quickly realised that the symptoms were too severe and long lasting and got me tested for leukaemia. that woman literally saved my life
Edit: Oh or the one time the father of a friend of my mom went to the hospital. First they damaged his bowel (hope it's the right term) during the operation so he had to start wearing diapers. Bad enough? No. After he was released he showed symptoms of flu so his daughter brought him back but they weren't taking her serious until he nearly died of it. He got influenza in hospital, they send him back and when she wanted to bring him back because he was sick they couldn't care less.
Sometimes I really question why these people are doing such important jobs.
Edit2: My then around 22 year old cousin was playing soccer. He ran to the goal and the goalkeeper ran to the ball, my cousin got knocked over and fell on his shoulder. He went to the Doc and he said its alright despite him having a lot of pain. The pain didn't go away so he went to another doc. This doc Made an Xray pickt of the shoulder and said "I've seen shoulders like this before. They belonged to 80years olds" Long story short my cousin had a broken shoulder and walked around with it for 2 weeks in pain because the doctor said its fine without really checking it.
histamine allergy? as in allergic to the chemical that gets released when you have an allergic reaction? thats so crazy
And here I thought I was the only one to suffer from this treatment.
In my case, I was on the way home, when I started feeling what I thought at first was a cramp, but grew into the worst pain I've ever felt. It felt like when you get a bad cramp in your thigh, but ever muscle in my middle and lower back were doing it at once. There was a hospital near my home, so I went directly there where I was told to wait in the waiting room. I was made to sit, thrashing around in pain and begging anyone at all to help, for 6 1/2 hours before being let into the ER. There a single intern attempted to get blood from me. I was still in a lot of pain and delirious at this point, so couldn't hold still for him to put the needle in.... so he left. He came back after making me sit for another hour or so and told me that 'my blood tests' hadn't shown anything wrong, so I was going to have to leave. I was so confused at that point, and accepted it after some asking if he was sure, and if it wasn't something bad. He gave me some prescriptions for what were probably placebos and sent me home (The 'pills' were tiny; barely the size of the tip of an eraser on a pencil). I ran out, got them, and went home.
By this time I'm having tunnel vision, can't feel my hands and feet, and everything felt like it was slowly getting further away, and I knew if I didn't at least try to get back to the hospital, I was going to die. I dragged myself to my car, and with extremely blurry vision drove 20 mph with my emergency blinkers on to the same hospital. When I went to the desk and explained that I had already been there and waited a really long time and that I was told nothing was wrong but there most definitely WAS something wrong and I needed help... they sent me back to the waiting room. I'm not sure how long I waited, because I passed out in there at some point.
Three days later I woke up in the ICU. I had a huge scar running the length of my abdomen from just above my genitals to just below my sternum, with five quarter sized holes that I could see my internal organs through, draining the mess out. I also had a colostomy bag hanging from my side. My large intestine had burst due to diverticulitis, and I'd been suffering from sepsis for hours before I passed out. Three weeks in the hospital and three weeks in rehab later, I was home and was told by my doctor that it would only be three months before they could do a colostomy reversal and help me get a bit more back to how I had been.
You'd think that was the end of the story, but nope.
They must have grabbed some random doctor when I passed out, and he didn't really want to have anything to do with me from the start. The initial cut had been pretty jagged and rushed and he'd destroyed my belly button, and left odd lumps and a huge scar across my abdomen from not stitching it up well. After the three months passed, he told me 'six more months'. When I asked, he said 'just to be sure everything had healed well'. So I waited another six months, in constant pain, dealing unable to get out of bed much, and dealing with the colostomy. When I went back, he said 'you need a colonoscopy now'. Which ended up taking another three months. After that was done, he scheduled the surgery, but then it was found my blood sugar was too high, so It got canceled and I was sent to an endocrynologist. This ended up taking another year to get my blood sugars to the right levels to be safe for surgery.
All this time, my abdomen had been stretching outwards from the weight of my organs drooping downwards. This shifted my intestines, heart, and lungs to the point of always being short of breath, numb in my hands and feet, confused due to less blood circulating, and less and less able to move as my insides hung more and more out front. Restrictive bandages were unable to do the job, and I REALLY needed the surgery, to set some things straight. The last time I saw said doctor, he sat me down after basically making me wait two years and said, '...I think you should go see another doctor.' I was blown away. If he knew he couldn't handle it, why not send me to someone else in the beginning? Worse, he tried to send me to the worst hospital he could find... a place that had nothing but complaints against it for being outdated, and uncaring as to your wellbeing.
I took things into my own hands and found doctors who could repair the damage. Had to have a good bit of my abdominal muscles cut out completely to undo all the scarring, and in my opinion, the hole the colostomy had been through never really healed right, but I'm doing better and don't feel like I'm gonna burst soon anymore. And all this because they refused to actually take em at my word and just investigate someone who came in literally convulsing with pain.
I really hope you sued the hospital and the doctor you could've died because of their intolerance and ignorance and I personally am very happy you are alive
Oof
That was a roller coaster ride I mean did that doctor even have proper training? I get that sometimes you have to wait for a surgery but 2 years? Jesus I’m Glad u didn’t die dude
I'm just glad you survived. Hopefully that guy lost his job and won't be able to do this to anyone else.
Darena Bryant well, at least you survived this and are here to tell your story 🤗
Gross warning?
I passed out in my bath room in a pile of my vomit becuase of cramps i was having. Ambulance came and they got me on a gurney. I was forced awake. They asked me if i had overdosed. I took the tiny bit of strength i had to say no and yet they asked me 4 more times even though all of my tests they did while taking me to the hospital were clear. I got to the hospital screaming in pain and required alot of morphine to calm down (i didnt know really what was happening until my mom told me later and told me it was morphine). I required a wheel chair and before i left the ER nurse told me i really just needed to focus on eating well and getting good exercise. I went to a doctor a week later and not even half way through my symptoms (which the er doc was told and saw first hand that night) and my new doctor diagnosed me with a serious progressive disease. She said there was no reason the ER should have not known that 🤦♀️
Edit: in the same er my ex took his grampa for forgetfullness and headaxhes etc. That er told him it was a benign brain tumor that would easily be taken care of with a simple surgery but with a second opinion they found out it was stage for brain cancer and he had 4 months to live.
I think if anyone needs to be reslly good at their job it would be a medical professional
Lawsuit
I would sue.
Sue them
Totally sue them bro

I dont know if i can. It was over a year ago 🤷♀️ and sadly thats kinda just typicly how women and people with mental illness tend to get treated at the er. (At least in my area)
female: experiences pain anywhere near the abdominal region
Male doctor: Ah yes, couldn’t be anything else beside period cramps
My sister: Literally has chest pains every month
My doctor: Lol you're too young to have heart conditions
Maybe anxiety
Not the doctor, but my parents.
When I was 10, I was always the slowest runner, and had a hard time breathing. Doctor said it was athletic induced asthma, so he prescribed me an inhaler. My parents tried to refuse the prescription, because it was "all in my head," but I convinced them to get it for me. It actually helped. It wasn't until my dad tried to get me off of my inhaler and I collapsed to the ground, as if I passed out but I was still conscious but couldn't move, that convinced my dad I had asthma.
Don't worry, the question is aimed at patients, not doctors this time. You're in the clear.
Theboss24611 why are your parents bothered by asthma?
@@NVBI_4RT1ST you didn't
@@NVBI_4RT1ST the pun
Theboss24611 my mum did a similar thing. I had horrible foot pains for months and I got sick pretty regularly back then (due to a vitamin d deficiency as we’d later discover) so she assumed I was faking it and didn’t take me to a doctor. I wasn’t until the pains got so bad that I was crying from the pain at night and couldn’t sleep that mum took me to a doctor. Took a couple of years but it turned out that my sesamoids in both feet were in sharp pieces that were tearing at the muscles nearby. It caused me so much pain I couldn’t stand up for longer than half an hour. Had to get both sesamoids surgically removed. Then after surgery it took a while for my feet to heal and my dad was giving me grief the entire time. He had gotten a growth on the shoulder bone sawed off in surgery a week after I got my surgery and was doing stuff because it had healed quicker than my feet did. So he was back to work when I was still home because I wasn’t well enough to return to school. I felt validated when the doctor told my parents that feet usually take longer to heal.
It pisses me off when these so called "doctors" spend years in medical school, just to get out and refuse to treat their patients.
7:00 I really hope that family sued that doctor or hospital for malpractice. A doctor's negligence that leads to permanent damage will permanently shut down that doctor's work record and hit the hospital hard so that they will take the Oath serious in the future.
Also an important note for everyone here in the comments, always let the person with the allergic reaction inject the epipen *_unless_* they cannot do it themselves. Never, EVER take it from them, and if you see someone take it without consent butt in and get it back to the owner. The last thing we need is a bad injection and more damage to be done.

@@KrissKross778 Damn that sucks
Child: *dies*
Doctor: He’s just faking it
Me: reads title and laughs knowing doctors couldn’t possibly do this.
Also me: remembers the time I was rushed to the hospital in a drunken state having never picked up an alcoholic beverage in my life only for the doctors to think I was faking it to get out of school. I had a really bad infection on my ankle that was messing with my brain and making me act similar to a drunk. (I was *really* out of my head that day).
Why did u try to make this a meme and not just tell the story?
I can't finish this video the stories are so devastating. I know that doctors have it rough but this really makes me angry.
yeah I probably shouldn't have watched/listened either since this kind of crap happened to me when I was a kid. It's making me extremely anxious lol.
When I was 16, my friend called an ambulance for me after I texted them that I had taken an overdose (this was my 2nd suicide attempt). After having all my vitals checked/ecg sticker things put all over my chest, wrists and ankles and put into the ambulance, the paramedic started to go on and on about its not possible for a 16 year old to be depressed cause nothing traumatic can happen to a teenager and im just being childish. I was later diagnosed with depression and bpd because of my family situation and severe bullying I was and had experienced for pretty much my whole life etc etc. There are nice paramedics out there, after my first attempt the 2 paramedics talked to me about how valuable i am to this world and ill never forget them. That paramedic from my second attempt tho needs to find another profession...
Seriously, like even if those are his beliefs, don’t say them right next to the patient, that’s bedside manner 101
but a specific one: walked into my GP practice bc my chest hurt for many hours and it was causing breathing discomfort. told them i came bc my inhaler wasnt helping so i know it wasn't asthma. was having a fairy uneventful day, just getting over a cold. head Dr took me in and told me i was having an anxiety/panic attack. i said im not panicking, im totally calm it's just hurting a lot and idk why. he proceeded to get very smug and tell me that i can think whatever i want but *he* is the doctor. i left and it got worse and worse. eventually near midnight i tried to shower and couldn't inhale. i passed out and lack of oxygen actually caused my whole body to buzz and my hearing to completely cut out.
called NHS number and i was treated very lightly and told me that they would refer me to a 3am emergency outpatient. cab driver who took me was terrified bc i couldnt even get out the cab and i was just gasping for air. doctor there talked down to me the entire time and diagnosed it as costochondrits (damaged chest wall) and literally told me to go home and google the other symptoms and was exasperated when i said i can't breathe (her: ugh you can. it hurts but inhale properly or you'll get a chest infection). for context like the pain was so bad that my diaphragm spasmed from it which would halt any breaths.
went home and found out that the symptoms mirrored that of a stroke almost perfectly. my family has a history of people dying young from strokes. i have a condition linked to cardiac issues. fantastic service!
grab a nailed bat and nail his head
I want to go to that hospital and beat the Shit out of them
Did you sue for malpractice?
SUE THEM
This is in the UK? Just publicly accuse him of mocking the prophet, and the problem will be sorted in days.
Man, a good number of these are "assumed they were a drug user"
As if drug users do t deserve medical care? They are addicted to a substance - a serious medical condition by itself!
I caught a lost pet rabbit with my hands knowing full well i was allergic and it could kill me.
It was, in terms of my own survival and wellbeing, a stupid decision.
But despite that stupid decision i got decent care.
A druggee, apparently, despite also making a shit choice for their own wellbeing isnt worth promt medical care? Thats fucked up.
Not trying to defend the doctors, but just giving you an bit more information. A reason why some doctors may be more reluctant to treat drug users is because some people may pretend to be in severe pain in order to get painkillers (aka opioids), which can be highly addictive. These drug-seeking people will resort to behaviors such as faking pain/illnesses and visiting multiple different hospitals in order to get the drug they need, and it is hard for doctors, or anyone actually, to tell if the pain is real or not. My point is that the doctors aren’t discriminating against their poor life decisions, rather they are trying to prevent giving them what they want and extending their opioid addiction.
Music101 ok? Do tests then!
Kay Boogie If it were that easy, drug-seeking behavior wouldn’t be such a large issue. How does one objectively test for pain? Pain is largely a self-reported symptom that which doctors can only trust the patient is telling the truth.Why do you think that when you go to doctor visits, they ask you questions about how you are feeling and ask you to rate pain on a 1 to 10 scale when they could’ve saved all that trouble by running “tests” on you?
@@fgdtryrt Are you being serious or just plain stupid? He clearly meant to say that they should test for drugs, you must be missing a few screws to think he meant to test for pain.
Marshmallows_4_Me My apologies if that’s what Kay Boogie meant. English hasn’t always been my strongest suit. But even then, there’s a flaw with that approach. What will you do if that person tests positive for drugs? Are you going to refuse treatment? Whether that person is a drug addict or not, he/she is an individual claiming to be in pain and a doctor’s job is to help these individuals. This just loops back to the original issue of whether or not they are faking the pain.
I have a story:
One time a big metal water bottle hit me in the head at lunch. I walked out of the lunch room and was walking like I was drunk ( I was not). then I made it to the nurses office and was sort of slurinng my speech I showed her the goose egg on my head. She had my dad pick me up but said I was fine and just a little shaken up. My dad knew something was wrong and took me to urgent care. I had a concussion. Even after I was cleared the nurse was so mean and made me sit there in the dark. They couldn’t get the right papers so I ended up missing a lot of work!
Lmfao I’ve had two concussions in my life. The first one was after I fell off the swings and got my head (fortunately, the swings were at their lowest point, and I was lying down across two). I had a first aid app on my phone (still do) and diagnosed myself with a concussion. I only told my eight-year-old brother and his friend, and only bc I didn’t want to run around a forest for twenty minutes. I went to my grandfather’s house and had nausea, but didn’t tell him I’d hit my head until two hours later, at which point he called my mum, who took me to the ER.
The second one came from when I got hit while skiing. I didn’t tell anyone about it. I didn’t go to the ER or treat it in any way, shape, or form. The pain stopped by the time I got home so I figured I was fine.
The first was June 2017 and the second was December 2018
I had seizure when I was around 14 at a friends sleepover.
His parents took me to hospital.
Doctor said I was faking it.
Never seen my friends yell at a Doctor before.
Turned out I had had a seizure from stress and lack of sleep (had moved to England from Korea and only understood a little bit) plus it was exam season.
Doctor was fired and sued.
Why was the doctor fired and sued? For misdiagnosing you? Did it cause any paermanent damage or did the doctor fail to run tests?
Alyse Truth it was because the doctor didn’t take the patient seriously and put their life at risk instead of tending to the patent.
@@wintershock Usually they don't fire doctors for misdiagnosis unless there was major risk or permanent damage. And if it was a one-time seizure how would you prove it unless the doctor had done the necessary tests? It doesn't make sense medically.
Good, I'm glad he was
@@mentak2593 they still shouldn't assume they were faking it whether they had done the test or not and a seizure can be life threatening
I ODed and they released me that night, all they did was take blood and say “you’re fine.” I now have kidney and liver damage.
my mum went to the family gp saying that she had difficulty breathing often and intense pains in her chest.
The GP said it was probably just her panic disorder acting up. sent her home with some beta blockers.
She had just had my youngest brothers (twins) a couple of months prior and she had a history or post-partem depression and generalised panic disorder.
She died two weeks later because of a blood clot in the leg that had broken and lodged itself in her lungs. (idk how exactly)
My dad sued the gp surgery and got a BIG lump of money and the doctor lost his job.
i was 8 years old at the time. Im the third oldest of 8.
This is exactly why I hate when asked if I have any history of depression or anxiety because far too often, symptoms get written off as such after that. I am so sorry about your mother, that is awful. Childbirth runs a huge risk of blood clots, any doctor with even the most mediocre training, should know that and have checked her for it. Especially after a twin birth. I am glad there was some vindication in a monetary award and him losing his job, but I know none of that can ease the pain of losing a loved one. Best wishes to you and your family. ❤️
Holy shit
Imagine being diagnosed with "female hysteria" in the twenty first century
Not the doctor but my family and school counselor. It’s a long story but I ended up getting surgery on my left leg, surgery didn’t go as planned, bone didn’t heal, and while my fibula was literally snapped in half I was walking around in Disney World, dad and brother refused to get me a wheelchair because brother wanted to sit in my wheelchair, everyone thought I was faking the pain and feeling of bone grinding together except my brother (to an extent), mother, aunt, and grandma.
Went back home and x-rays showed my fibula was still snapped in half, they’ve fixed it (bone graph) and I went to middle school.
Now, I had a walker, it’s hell to get around with that torture device. Ended up with tendinitis in both knees and ankles after 6th grade, tried telling the counselor but they said “it’s probably growing pains”. Now I am permanently subtlety disabled and cannot walk for long distances.
Doctor who did surgery on my leg was going to get me to a physical therapist but the physical therapist didn’t have me in the appointments and the doctor never replied to my messages and ran off like a scared dog with it’s tail under it’s legs leaving me with this dumpster fire of a problem.
God I hate that doctor.
What the fuck..!? There are some seriously unqualified people in the medical profession. A.I./robotic doctors can't come soon enough! In my opinion.
sounds a lot like your dads fault too for not letting you sit in the wheelchair
I wish I could do repeatedly flykicks into the face of that doctor and the counselor, at least, on your behalf! Too bad society thinks that is too cruel, you know, temporary pain and injury is bad vs the permanent ones you have now which for some reason is acceptable... :(
in 8th grade i was feeling really sick, with stomach pains, a headache, a fever, the works. was taken to the doctor and he said i was faking it to get out of school. threw up on him.
he believed me after that.
That's one way to prove you're sick! 👏🏽

"Kids don't get heart conditions"
Dude, I was born with a hole in my heart that was slowly leaking blood into my lungs. If I didn't get it plugged as a kid, I would have drowned in my own blood.
I was having a panic attack and my psychologist yelled at me and said I was faking it. Love being yelled at by a psychiatrist DURING A PANIC ATTACK
BYEEE!! I would have been so pissed!! I already hate it when people tell me that, imagine the person you confide in because you have to saying this 🙄!! Ughhhh...
Wtf Psychologist are not supposed to tell you anything
Their work is purely on reserarch fields
i remember two or three years ago, i noticed that my heartbeat was very irregular and out of rhythm. i told my doctor who said it was probably in my head. a year later i was diagnosed with heart failure (but ive been doing better)

Oh my god, I have Hashimoto's disease. The doctors tell me its very common but when I mention it no knows what it is
It usually gets misdiagnosed as thryoid issues and celiac disease. My aunt and mother have it, and considering my thyroid issues, I likely have it also but not as bad. My mom is the one who figured it out for our family. Glad you got it figured out so you can fix it. Hi five!
I have a rare form of hypothyroidism (not Hashimoto's )
That made me mad af
But sadly it is not uncommon that this type of stuff happens :(
@@OriginalGlorfindel Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, so I wouldn't say "thyroid issues" is a misdiagnosis...like, the disease revolves around thyroid issues.
It’s not common but it’s not rare. That’s what I’ve heard anyways
Listening to this makes me so incredibly scared for my life and the lives of others
Like I know people fake things but that should not be your immediate assumption
namjoonie
This is why I refuse to live anywhere not within 100 miles of a nationally/globally recognized hospital.
Just be insistent and know that you have a right to seek a second opinion and to insist on the doctor being thorough with you. It's your health and your body and if something doesn't feel right, it isn't.
Doctors bury their mistakes

“Your not depressed, you’re just a teenager..” I’m pretty sure teenagers are the most depressed
Llama AJ I think more teenagers are depressed than adults actually
@@lisa-er6cb maybe but maybe not cause how many teenagers have committed suicide compared to adults
This makes me so mad. Judging people's feelings by their age is just ridiculous. With kids it's even worse. I was 5 years old when I started going to the psichologist because I refused to get out of bed and had no urge to play. It was depression. If a 5 year old can get depression, anyone can.
Mariana Saitu chill I’m not saying that younger kids or older people aren’t depressed Ik just saying I’m pretty sure teenagers are the most depressed
Didn’t happen to me but a few years back my dad went in for an ACL repair surgery.
When he came out of it and got home he started complaining of a strange throbbing pain or something in his leg along his calf. He felt like something was very wrong after a few days of the pain not going away or changing and called the surgeon. The guy told him that “it’s just post operation pains” and “have your wife help you gently move the leg and massage the pained area”
He did what they said and nothing changed so he went to the surgeon and demanded they do tests. To which they laughed at him and said “fine if only to humor you”.
Turns out it was a mf blood clot and all that moving and massaging could have loosened it and it could have traveled to his already strained heart and killed him. The kicker is that the clot was caused because they were supposed to send him home with special braces for his leg that would have prevented it and stabilized his leg and they forgot to do that.
Needless to say he was livid.
Blind Babbler Did he sue? Were the docs fired? I haz to knooooow
Sue them for everything they can give
Lady Phoenix sadly docs are not fired but we are still in the midst of the malpractice suit so rest assured if we can’t drain their banks we can at least drag their practice to the depths of hell :3
Surgeons are the most likely the kind of doctors to be in it for the money; and less so to help people in general. Even other doctors says surgeons are special type of people often, when comparing doctors! You often want to avoid doctors who are only in it for the money. And in surgery, that can include them trying to save their own bacon long before they even are trying to save the patients, as in complication arising or unexpected scenarios; if not a mistake they made and they cover it up, knowing full well the patients could or will die from it!
Know the difference between a coroner and a medical examiner, the former has no requirements of training, knowledge and/or experience; and the latter is the only one that is actually are a doctor! This is perhaps mostly applicable to the US, but it is probably true other places too...
I'm not saying all surgeons are bad, but some might be!
Me: *is fat*
Also Me: my kidneys hurt
Doctor: Have u tried losing weight
Me:Bruh please just help me fix my kidneys i cant magically drop 50 lbs overnight
Consider cocaine
I have had that before...but it was the vanilla orange coke
kind
this is such a real thing it sucks bc even if a fat person has something totally unrelated going on with them they get told to just lose weight to make it go away.. smh
Me: *is way too much overweight*
Also me: *has nearly white skin*
Doctors: Drugs, next one.
I have albinism...
The thing is.. Having more weight than your body is built to support is very damaging to your organs. It often causes them to swell because they need to work harder, bones become more brittle, and the risk of diabetes skyrockets

The doctors told my mom she was having a panic attack. She had been there several times before for them. On the day before my birthday, she had a panic attack (we still don’t know what it was) after they were done treating her, they sent her home. But she started having another panic attack because she felt something was wrong. *They just sent her home.* In the middle of a panic attack. Anyways, the next day, it’s my 13th birthday. My dad has to go on a business to trip, so my aunt and grandma come over to take care of my mom because she is still stuck in bed. Meanwhile my uncle comes to bring me and my sister(9) to their house to spend time with my two cousins.
Later that day, my mom got worse. She went to the hospital... and it turns out she was having a stroke. She was only 42. The last time I got a response from her before she went under surgery was she had squeezed my hand while I was talking to her(earlier that morning). She was moved to a different hospital, where she would have better care, btw. She came out of the surgery unresponsive. Six days after my birthday, it was my uncles birthday. And on my (other)uncles birthday, my mom passed away. Our birthdays are in July, so thankfully I had the rest of summer break off. But less than two months later I was starting 8th grade with no mom. I’m going to start high school next year... And I swear, if this isn’t the worst Birthday I will ever have- I am genuinely scared. Losing my mom on my birthday was hard enough.
Sorry for that, but that story just reminded me of my mom...

im sure many endometriosis sufferers have experienced this as well
keeleykiwi YES! Oh my god
"You're faking it! There's no way three of you (two sisters) can have endometriosis!" We have it.
I'm still not sure if I have it or not, because even trying to look at the area with a speculum (narrow instrument that opens the canal so doctors can see what's going on) causes intense pain. I told my mom "on the bright side, I'll never be tempted to throw away my virginity". I've never even been able to use a tampon.
@@bluejay8422 yes, it's incredibly common for members of the same family to have it. my mother and aunt both have it, and so do i, and so did all my grandfather's sisters. only somebody incredibly uneducated would claim that members of the same family can't have it
My grandmother has this. When she was 19 she went to a doctor because she couldn't handle the pain anymore. The doctor said that she lots of scar tissue but couldn't see a source of the pain. He asked her to leave the room and from the hallway she could hear the doctor tell her parents the pain was all in her head and that she needed to she a psychiatrist. She swore to never complain about pain again. (And let me tell you she has kept that oath. Toughest person I know.) A few years later she is diagnosed with endometriosis. The new doctor told her it was so bad she would never have kids. You can imagine the doctors surprise when she told him that she had already had 4 kids.
I also have a friend with pcos. I've stopped being surprised when people tell me their doctors tell then they are just being babies or not really in as much pain as the say they are. Its sadly common.
My mom was taking a medication called Wellbutrin when they suddenly changed their manufacturing without telling consumers. This changed caused my mother to have two mini strokes. She went to the closest hospital, which just so happens that her primary physician is the head doctor there. The nurses are all being extremely condescending and playing it off because (since it's not a full blown stroke) it wasn't affecting her as bad. Until...
"Yeah okay... Who's your primary care physician?"
"Dr. F"
"Oh, okay!! We'll get these tests started right away for you!"
They kinda freaked out when they realized that this woman that they were denying care to saw their boss whenever she felt like it. And knew who their boss was
went into the er with concussion symptoms, after hitting the back of my head. I was sitting up, conscious, and alert, chewing on ice chips when the MD came in.... he took one look at me and said i was fine. 3 hours later, I was back at that same ER, throwing up and barely conscious. My mom tore that doc apart, demanded his medical license information and lodged a formal complaint with the hospital and the medical board.
Fun times.
Could you tell what outcome it had? Because even though most people didn't get to know, some fail to mention it when they either do know or could find out. I mean the outcome of the formal complaint, since you are obviously alive? :)
I'm no doctor, but even I know that concussions are notorious for having delayed effects. Not giving you a serious examination was absolutely criminal.
