My lecture always said: "patients always remember 2 drinks. The first and the last."
All the numbers go up eleven.
And don’t even try to rule anything else out - for indigenous Canada continuing deaths in waiting rooms ‘must have been drunk’.
I have lecturers like that, but they’re not the ones who strike me as the best doctors. The ones who listen to their patients are
I usually don't remember my last drink if I go blackout level.
Oh shit, I never thought about this 😂
I was in the ER once - the nurse asked me the pain scale question.... I said 7.
My husband then chimed in and said "she called end stage labour an 8 and breaking her ankle a 6 - just for perspective"
The nurse looked at me and said "OK you're one of them I'll make a note"
To be fair my mother is a senior ER nurse and I asked her once what 10 was in the pain scale she said "It's when the pain is so bad you want to asked them to skip the pain meds and take you out the back and shoot you in the head - level pain.". I've never felt THAT bad...
I had a homebirth with my 5th baby. I had a stitch for a minor tear. I had a water birth (aka- midwife's anesthesia) and I used Hypnobabies for pain control during the labor and birth. I took NOTHING for my bottom afterward.
A couple days later I had a raging case of double mastitis. Because my midwife couldn't prescribe an antibiotic, I went to urgent care, after taking 800mg ibuprofen. I got called back and the nurse asked what was wrong. I told her and then said, "Can we just cut them off?!?" I was dead freaking serious. So I wonder where that sits on your mom's pain scale? 🤣
@@brookiebakerie Probably an 8 or 9 after all you weren't asking them to shoot you...
That's a good husband!
I've felt that
Hahaha NO WAY literally ranked the same scenarios the same. My mom works at an insurance company tho.
(gotta be honest though, I had an emergency c-section so idk how end stage it really was... but considering the little one already had a foot down my birthing channel I think it was pretty close)
"Nurse I already went to the restroom earlier"

Whut
The pain 1-10 is something I have done.
I have chronic pain and you get used to it after years. So when something happens it is actually worse than before. I thought I had hit 10 before, and then I felt something that hit mid and low back, both kidneys, felt worse than fire and I blacked out. I described it to the doc as 11, it was the worst I have ever felt and topped my past experiences.
I now have a new "10"
That's the best way to put it, if you're even able to explain it to a doctor at that pain level.
"No, I know what my level 10 pain is, and this is WORSE, so I'm picking 11!"
I get the same thing with migraines, sometimes I get one that’s just so much worse than the worst I’ve had. The problem is everyone thinks I’m exaggerating when I say a 10 or 11.
I understand your frustration.. I've had migraines my entire life and before the 90's when the imatrex came out which was hella expensive I'd have to go to ER who had a way to make you feel like you're making it up. I'd rather shove a fork in my eye than get another migraine, sure wish you could transfer pain so they'd experience it also.
i’m currently 16, but from ages 12-15, i had the same thing happening to me
it obviously still happens now, but ive kinda learned to conceal/mask it all
i was in and out of hospitals, nobody could figure out what was wrong with me, etc.
i would say i was in the 10/10 pain scale… until i felt the pain of more than five kidney stones in one of my kidneys while also suffering with a very lately diagnosed chronic disease.
shit was an 11/10. i wanted to die at that point 💀 i feel like we need to start a petition or something for us people with chronic pain like you or in my situation chronic diseases to make a scale for us where we can rate the pain from like 0-100 😭😭
I never know how to answer the scale of pain question. Like you, I have lived with injury and severe chronic pain for almost twenty years. Someone's 5 could be my 3. When you look at me, you don't see my injuries bc they're all inside. I do limp some and waddle like a penguin more the more pain I'm in. It shows on my face bc I'm not that great at hiding it, but I try to just smile and got about my business. I woke up unable to sit or stand-up straight one morning. I could only flatten my body when I was laying. I couldn't walk right and was using a computer chair for 3 weeks to roll myself to the bathroom and back. My bf took care of me, and we're not together anymore but still friends, and I'm so thankful for him being there for me. I've woken up paralyzed once, had it taken in a pool once and in a vehicle. Thankfully, I was only a passenger. My skin burns from neuropathy and nerve damage to where it feels like I'm standing too close to fire. I try to summarize for Dr and nurses that I've gotten to where I can tolerate the "normal chronic pain" and the new pain is what is hurting me so bad.
I had a bad seizure overnight, and wonder up with my entire left side from my neck to toes were numb. My hand and foot were paralyzed. I was terrified. I was in severe pain. They gave me morphine. I was scared to even take it. I will never willingly take that again. It helped with the pain, but it made it hard for me to walk without having very shaky legs. The next day I was sharing a lot. I hate that stuff.
I was in the emergency room, having been run over by a motorhome. After having 24 broken bones and reconstructive surgery, l asked the nurse to tell me something funny. She said there's a teenager in the ER with a potato stuck in his butt.
Well, did you find it funny?
I really wanted to read comments on this comment but there is none
Edit: YAS finally some comments to read
God bless that nurse!
I broke two bones and it hurt like hell. I can't imagine how much 24 would've hurt, glad you made it through
South park did a documentary that if you put food in our but you crap out your mouth.
"There is absolutely no way i could be pregnant" Just destroys my soul. I once had an er nurse ask if i was sexually active before a CT, i said no. She gave me a glare like i was a liar then proceeded to ask if i was sure i wasn't pregnant, while glaring at me. Then she asked me several more times with the same teacher "tell me the truth" glare over the course of the next few hours. I had to sign a damn paper so the hospital wouldn't get in trouble if i'd lied.. turned out i had a rather large kidney stone btw. So glad i sat in the er taking up a bed for so many additional hours just so this nurse could assume i was a liar, and i could say "There is absolutely no way i could be pregnant, i haven't had sex," over and over.
To be fair we hear the I am a virgin story or I can’t be
daily even though they are pregnant with the kid waving on the ultrasound. We get jaded and never believe anyone. You would be amazed at how many grown adults don’t know how easy it is to get pregnant.
As for the drinking had a guy the other day swear he didn’t drink even though he appeared to be going through with drawls symptoms. Finally after bugging him for days he admitted to drinking an 18 pk/day of beer. That explained everything that was going on. Just be honest we need to know.
@@betsyadams9670 you should not assume someone is lying about that. It is just rude. I get you hear the lie often but for plenty of people it is true.
Just tell them there are risks if your worried they lied and are pregnant. Don't tell ask them repeatedly, cause even if they are lying they are not going to change their answer.
Few hours wait in ER for CT is normal, not because they don't believe you, but because they have patients with higher priorities, such as strokes & serious traumas.
If you are pregnant the CT will damage your fetus. So it's ok if nurses wanna make sure you are not pregnant.
@@duo1006 that’s why we do a quick urine test to make sure they are not. In the end we are just trying to be safe.

Pain was at a 10 when disks ruptured in my back when I was 22. Found breathing difficult and felt some parts in my legs. Dr. goes "it's not that bad, we gave you tylenol." 1.5yrs after physical therapy and still walk with a limp on bad weather days. They don't care about the pain scale in ER, only if you're conscious.
you cannot function at 10. your brain will shut down at 9. 10 is comatose. learn to use a scala and stop disregarding other peoples pain by acting like yours is so special it needs a new scala to fit on. ridiculous.
if you can still talk, you had 8 at most. probably less if you still managed to speak in full sentences.
Damn truth. What is with ER nurses having no bedside manner?
Which astounds me. I've passed out at maybe 6/10 pain because it was uncomfortable in other ways. I've been unable to move or speak at 11/10. To me 10 is "I don't want to do this living thing anymore. Nothing is worth this."
Lol. Last one. We had plunger in shower to dry after cleaning. I fell and almost landed on it. Wife said if you had they would never believe you. Glad i missed for more than one reason.
But then you'll get holes in your pants and underwear, and the fibres from your clothing getting stuck plunger will prove it to be true. And possibly a nasty stab wound because the force involved of "getting in" would be WAY different than "entertaining" yourself.
if it was tearing and bleeding they definitely would believe you
If you would had landed on it, You wouldn't be here now. It would have probably ripped right through your intestines and maybe even your diaphragm.
@@Gamewizard13th yeah but that one of the reasons im happy it grazed my hip and not a direct hit
@@Gamewizard13th they won't believe you, and if you have the signs that you should be believed you've got bigger problems.
When asked what my pain level was, I said a 7, not wanting to be a baby, then passed out. Woke up after an operation on my intestines. They'd gotten twisted. The nurse looked at me angrily and said, "That wasn't a 7, that was a 10!."
Haha, as if Nurses and Doctors actually take you seriously if you were to say 10 anyways. Nonetheless, I'm glad you got help and everything is better.
@@Mary-Ann_B_Mabaet Yep. I've had horrible experiences of pain since early childhood. What I would rate as 6 or even 5 someone else might rate as 10 because they have never experienced something at 9 (there is nothing in your mind but pain) or 10 (The pain literally makes you lose conciousness) and it's their rating standard that doctors judge everyone by including us who have more chronic pain. I trucked on with level 8 pain repeatedly in my late teens because of medical neglect and bullying from my parents all of my life, and I thankfully only briefly experienced a level 9.5 pain (nothing existed except for the pain and if it had lasted longer I might have lost consciousness from not being able to breathe properly) when I was 7 years old (thunderclap headache that went undiagnosed).
@@Call-me-Al ok tough guy
I hate the pain scale. It's unclear, it's subjective, how helpful could it actually be? I could be experiencing excruciating pain and it's just like... A mild abrasion. Fibromyalgia do be that way. Pain is not an adequate indicator of what's going on and no one is going to rate their pain accurately. Makes me so frustrated.
@@theonlineanimal6009nobody cares what you think
My Mom ended up in the hospital. Described her back pain as through the roof. Nurses didn’t believe her and kept moving her and trying to get her out of bed and walking. They even threatened her that she was going to have to go to a nursing home if she didn’t walk, in an effort to get her to walk (they told me they often do this to get people up and moving). They didn’t understand when that didn’t work, and blamed my Mom for not being motivated. She even hit them once when they were roughly moving her. Turned out she had a severe spinal infection she had acquired on top of her known spinal stenosis. They only found it because the doctors decided to do more testing after all. They all treated her so differently after that. If only they had believed her in the first place, would have saved her a lot of suffering. Not everyone is lying…
And they might not even be lying. I tend to have anxiety attacks that make me believe I can't move my body and, while I should know I can, it's not that easy. If I'm saying that I can't move, it's because I truly believe that in the moment, even if from the outside it will look stupid, because obviously I can move! People who help me usually have to move my body themselves for a bit and then I can finally ground myself enough to get back and have a proper panic attack.
So, yes, I can technically move my body. Does that mean I'm lying when I'm having an anxiety attack and I say I'm unable to move? No. I truly do believe that in the moment, even if it happened before, because I'm in shock. JUST BECAUSE IT'S FROM ANXIETY AND IN MY BRAIN, DOESN'T MEAN I'M LYING FOR ATTENTION.
Sorry, I'm really frustrated with the healthcare understanding of mental issues.
Edit: I hit send too early
My wife lost her voice for a days and went to the doctor to find out what was going on. He said to her face "There's nothing wrong with you. You're just doing this for attention." He refused to examine her at all. Another doctor took over because the first one insisted it was a waste of time and refused to do anything. Turns out she had basically overworked her voice so much working at the call center she worked for at the time that her trachea had cramped. It took a week of physical therapy to get it back to normal. And the first doctor just acted like "huh, guess so."
Sorry that happened to your mum.
I hate when doctors don't believe you.
LAWSUIT for Negligence
Was in the hospital for a gastrointestinal flu, severely dehydrated, couldn't hold anything down. I was blacking out, they asked me if I had anything to drink... I gave them a complete list of my conditions and medications which, if I drank alcohol would cause waaaaaay more issues for me... no I don't drink. Told them several times, didn't believe me. Also gave written note for my hubby to talk on my behalf, you know cause I was blacking out... they treated him and me like garbage. I don't even remember getting the IV

@@shizukagozen777 Thank you for your kind words. I agree that no one should be treated like that when they are seeking help, whether medical, phycological, or other forms of help. I'm the type of person to suffer in silence and accept what happens to me, it was my husband that brought me in. Thank goodness he did, I was VERY dehydrated. They eventually hooked me up with that good saline and anti-nausea medication. But profiling happens a lot up here, there are so many stories of hospital neglect, a quick google search would blow your mind!
Yep I have a pain disorder and other disorders that make walking and standing difficult. Also slurred speech and confusion. Put me in front of any authority figure and I’m sure they’d throw me in the drunk take rather than get me medical attention. What do they actually teach doctors anyway.
I've had the "could you be pregnant" argument with numerous medical professionals. My response, "Did you read my chart at all before coming in here? If you did, you wouldn't be asking me that." Had a hysterectomy 20+ years ago
Same here! Tell them every time, every time I get asked by three more people and have to tell them too.
Only one who doesn’t ask if my gyno because she performed the surgery.
Me too!! Had one 20 years ago. Umm there is no way I could be pregnant!!
What is your opinion on getting a hysterectomy? Does it cause any unlikable chances or symptoms?
@@bobbobbo5278 I had a partial (still have ovaries) hysterectomy, so can't comment about what can happen hormonally from a full hysterectomy. My body still goes through the hormonal changes monthly, just no periods. Personally, I'm better off this way.
What a stupid thing to say, you expect every doctor who sees you to have diligently gone through over 20 years of your medical notes? Don't be arrogant
One time a doctor told me I was “probably pregnant” and I had to spend ten minutes explaining to him that I was BORN WITHOUT A UTERUS

I'm opiod resistant and have had 21 surgeries on my joints in just over 10 years all before age 35. At ERs my pain is dismissed as drug seeking despite my well documented chart stating dilaudid is the only thing to even take the edge off my pain. It's very unprofessional to disregard someone as a drug seeker right off the bat without looking into their medical history and leaves patients like me afraid to seek help bc we're worried we'll be written off as drug seeking.
Opiod resistance is from using opioids over a long time. See a pain specialist or a physiatrist, that is a pain specialist and they can help you get off using opiods all the time. Because clearly they're not working.
@personincognito3989 While opiate resistance is most commonly a result of using pain medication for a long time, it can also be due to genetics. I, my mother, and my maternal grandmother are all genetically hyper resistant to opiates, benzos, and sedatives. The first time I took an opiate was at 14 after having my wisdom teeth removed. The doctor had to up my dose from 7mg to 20mg of hydrocodone because any less had no effect on me.
You also need to understand that coming off of pain medication isn't an option for many people with chronic pain. I've been in pain management for almost 15 years and I will need it for the rest of my life. My day to day pain is so severe that I become suicidal without my medicine.
Our resistance to opiates isn't the problem. The problem is doctors treating us like drug addicts over something we can't control. When I'm in enough pain to be in the hospital Dilaudid is the only thing that works. I don't deserve to suffer because a doctor can't understand that some people need a stronger dose of medicine to get the same effect.
Red headed people are also opiate resistant. Does that mean all red heads are drug addicts or abusing pain medication?
I'm the opposite. My body metabolizes opioids really fast so I can't do them or need it mixed with something else to slow it down. If not then it hits me hard for like 2 hours and then nothing.
@@personincognito3989 Actually sounds like it could be a form of EDS. It's a common symptom for EDS to not respond to pain meds the same way, and to often need more to take the pain away (for example, local anaesthesia doesn't work as well (for the majority and normally), so there's a requirement for more). I have EDS, and can vouch, they're not lying about conditions existing where pain management is very different to what people expect. I was treated like I was just "drug seeking" after having surgery because my local anaesthesia had worn off within 20 minutes or something, and the pain meds weren't having any impact on my pain. I was in the recovery ward for over 6 hours because they couldn't get the pain under control (normally you're in there for about 30 minutes before moving to another ward).
“11 is not one of the options motherFUCKER.” Got me wheezing!
So i had this lady who simply could not rate her pain on the 1-10 scale. " I understand what you're asking me, i just can't describe it that way. Im not trying to be uncooperative. " Faces scale that we use for Peds patients also a bust. I have an idea."Do you mind some swear words?" "No, go ahead."
"Damn, this hurts, S***! This hurts. Or F***!! This hurts!" Lady says "S***!this hurts." "I'll be right back with 2 Percocet."
Damn would have brought Motrin 600,
F* would have sent me for Dilaudid 2mg iv. What the H*ll, it worked.😅

0 shouldn’t be an option either because it’s 1 - 10
I remember my GP insisting the vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue was a normal part of pregnancy and would pass... refused to accept that I'm not sexually active, and visibly confused when I stated I'd had a hysterectomy 3 years prior!
LMAO I actually had a patient with a carrot up his rectum. Claimed he slipped and fell on it while grocery shopping. I wanted to ask him where he could shop in the nude, but decided I'd lose my job if he complained 😂

Had to visit the ER recently for an allergic reaction to sake. I had literally (not figuratively) 2 sips over the course of dinner. It wasn't my drink but my friends let me try the different flavours they ordered. Anyway, I told this to the ER doctor when he asked if I had anything to drink that night. His expression told me all I needed to know about what he thought about my 2 sips.

I had a doctor say that I could be pregnant and that they needed to test me. I told her plainly there was no possibility at all I could be pregnant. She proceeded to say how I couldn't know for certain, blah blah blah and wouldn't listen to me. She did the tests and was obviously negative. The look on her face when I told her "yes, I know. I'm a virgin. My gyne upstairs and could have told you that" was priceless. The nurse tried to hold in her laughter.
I have had the same conversation. Except I had a Hysterectomy
Had a similar experience but while my hubs was deployed and I as like dude you have to actually DO an action to get pregnant. He wanted to test me anyway.. whatever man it will be negative but whatever.
@@ladyamberskye And this is partly why our insurance rates are so high. Doctors do unnecessary tests, or lose the results and have to redo them.

I have had to go to the ER a couple of times for pancreatitis. I also have back problems that I take percocet for. When I have a bad pancreatitis attack I usually throw up, which means I cant take my pain med. When I asked for it by name, they acted like I was a drug seeker. No, we will give you morphine. I told them it doesn't do anything for my pain. They injected it into my IV and a rash started at the site almost immediately. That's when I found out I was also allergic to morphine! Now I had back pain, severe allergic reaction AND pancreatitis! They gave me a benadryl, took some blood and then gave me something for the nausea. Gotta love when you're treated like a drug seeker when you know what works for you and what doesn't. I've never asked for dilaudid though.
People with chronic pain: "Well I can breathe so I guess it's a three." XD
Right. This Scale is highly subjective and dumb lol

@@jadadallas5891It depends on what sort of thing you're in there for.
Also the pain rating I think is shared with your insurance. If your pain doesn't go down they withhold approval because it's not working. If you're pain does go down to a point, they think you're good enough to do without further appointments. If you think different than them then you need to submit paperwork to convince them otherwise.
"I only had two beers" could be the truth if someone put something in the beer
Yes that what I thought also a friend of a friend had them happen she only had 2 or 3 drinks but something slipped into one
Very true
I had a single glass of wine and ended up in the ER because I got roofied. All I remember is drinking the one glass, standing up to go to the bathroom, and waking up in the ER being interrogated about how much I drank last night. They said I was just drunk even tho most roofies don’t appear in a regular panel drug test
This is exactly what I thought
Also alcohol allergies. Its possible to randomly become allergic to something. People with alcohol allergies could seem drunk but are having a reaction.
Also diabetcs will present seeming inebriated but not have an ounce of alcohol.

steve never had a carrot in his life, you supposed to eat them backwards

🤣🤣🤣
There's also a special way to eat cupcakes, but we all do things our own way.
But sir.. The carrot was made of rubber 😂
With batteries in it 😭😂🤣
That first one could also be a person who was roofied, someone experiencing a bad medication interaction (happened to me), or neurological problems.
I feel like the last one just recently happend and he still is facing the trauma
Same 😅😂
It's so common every single medical professional is bored by the "accidental" thing up anyone's butt. No trauma present, otherwise you leave the field during residency
i think it always happens
The carrot thing was on 1,000 ways to die i saw as a teenager .in horror bc I thought of the personeho found her and what they told her mom was their child like when they found them . Please don't tell a mom that part let her have alittle dignity she is going through enough at that moment . Horrible idea for a dildo . So many other options in ur house . Not a sharp pointed vegetable. Get rid of all awkward things b4 mom finds them if u are r a true friend let mom keep her image of her baby intact . My way of thinking because I'ma human that makes mistakes on a normally basist . Everyone doesn't need to know everything about you . Those are called skeletons or the term take it to your grave is a good one . That's where secrets should go when a person dies .
My aunt and my mom are nurses. They agree that people come in with things stuck in their butt roughly once or twice a month. So if I do the math, on average that happens 18 times a year. And the “I fell on it” excuse comes in with 1/4 of the people who come in like that. Cant say I blame them tbh
The ER staff is always shocked at my blunt honesty. 4 days ago they asked if I could be pregnant. Told them if I am it'll be a silicone baby with DD batteries. That RN didn't even know what to say. Lol
Double D batteries? At that point just get one that plugs into the wall!
Same here...like I haven't had any in years (my choice right now) so I know I'm not but they still make me do a test.
Wow.

God… what funny theories do people have regarding sex; people…
Once upon a time in Iraq (circa 2003), I was in to see the doctor for something (infected bug bite, I think) and got the "it's not personal" talk about pregnancy testing all females and why. My only reply, ever, was "Not a problem, sir. I just need that room temperature bottle of water and about five minutes before I can supply your staff with a sample."
I still got the whole set of stories that went with the hard and fast rule. He still seemed surprised that the test came back negative.
My comeback was, "Sir, I skipped midtour. Of course, I took the 5-day pass when the option came around. Doesn't mean I want a leaking infection on my face."
We always do a pregnancy test on females. Because pregnancy changes what medications we give you pregnancy. Changes your reaction to medications and that changes the treatment that we give you. Also if you are pregnant you're going to be needinformation And follow up. Because we have to think of the life of the baby. It's not personal.
When I was 13 tripped and fell hard on my hand in an awkward way. My finger was bending out at an angle that wasn’t normal and I could feel a grinding sensation in the back of my hand. My mum took me to A&E and the nurse who saw me did not ask me what my pain level was. Instead she saw that I wasn’t crying (cause apparently 13 year olds are supposed to scream and cry when they get hurt) and said to my face that she was going to write my pain as 0, I didn’t get the chance to correct her. My mum pushed for an x-Ray and after having my hand yanked into painful poses by a nurse who didn’t seem to believe me, sure enough one of my metacarpals was broken clean in two. I should have told her it was an 11, at least then she might have understood I was genuinely in pain and could feel the broken halves of my bone grinding against each other when I moved.
It’s called the Wong baker face scale but… it’s just documentation. If you had an obvious deformity then the doctor needs to order an x-ray. The nurse has nothing to do with what the doctor orders.
That being said, I’m in EMS and only have two technical certificates. I know damn well an obvious deformity when I see one and I also know to err on the side of caution. Better to be safe than sorry.
Yeah, same thing happened to me when I was 9 and broke my wrist while ice-skating. Just because I wasn't crying, none of the doctors or nurses believed that I'd actually broken a bone.
Bonus points for when I broke my jaw at school that same year playing hockey, and my teachers refused to call my mom to warn her because I wasn't crying and thus couldn't possibly be hurt in any way. Also the radiologist that kept telling me to open my mouth wide. At least they had the decency to be embarrassed when they came back with my results: a borken jaw.
i fractured two of my fingers last summer while skating. i didn't cry. i mean it hurt but not THAT bad. i didn't think i broke them at all. went to the hospital anyways (thanks dad) and most of the nurses etc. thought my dad was being dramatic, cuz i didn't look in pain and i said 4 in the scale thing. fractured my ring finger directly on the middle knuckle, and my pinky between the middle and base. idk what the bones are called specifically don't come for me
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
When I was about 7, I broke my arm in 3 places from my 14 year older than me brother falling on me by accident. I didn't cry, so my mom didn't take me to the ER or doctor & just iced it. My dad came home (he worked truck driving for local but would take ones that were only a few days) & saw I wasn't right & the ice pack & took me to my doctor's after my mom argued I was fine & faking it. Doctor said it looked odd, but I wasn't crying, so we will see. Nurse tried to say I probably bruised it. Radiology looks at us like we have 3 heads for them having to bother. They see the breaks, talked to my dad, took me out of the tube & gave me like all the lollipops 🍭. One said he was sorry for both of them. They slapped me in a cast & the doctor told them if it looks odd, trust something is wrong. My dad got me subs & McDonald's cause he felt bad. Put me on my bed all comfy, I got the TV remote, my food, & my blanket. Then he shut the door & tore into my mother for being how she was (in choice words).
I was dismissed as "oh, you're just pregnant" at 55.
Sure. No sex since age 50. Menopause completed at 52, medically verified and monitored.
But I was a girl, and physically disabled, therefore a "mentally deficient" LIAR.
Bro so many women go through menopause by that time, that's insane that they immediately jumped to that conclusion despite knowing your age. Sorry that happened to you
I mean doctors told me I was pregnant at age 21 after not having my period.
I was a super virgin, like I was not carrying Jesus. It was just ovarian cyst but like 😂 the argument I had to get them to check was stupid
When my mom started menopause, multiple doctors told her she was pregnant. She was born with reflux of nephropathy, was diagnosed with end stage renal failure at the age of 12, and was told she was infertile soon after. I was born extremely premature when she was 29, a miracle baby. She didn't even know she was pregnant until I was crowning. It was also by some miracle that I survived. She never had another pregnancy after me. But going through menopause, all the doctors were convinced she was pregnant just by blood tests. Multiple doctors. It wasn't until an ultrasound discovered she wasn't. She also had wanted another kid for years and knew she wasn't pregnant. It got her hopes up, though. She was also only in her early forties.
Back in May I had major surgery that ended up with a complication. Not long after I had to go to the ER due to the WORST pain I've ever felt in my lower back/side, I felt like I was dying. I was in tears while also throwing up in a bucket the whole way.
When the nurse asked me what were my symptoms & how bad the pain was from 1-10, I proceeded to puke again & still crying told her the highest possible & beyond that. She didn't believe me, told me to give her a real number as she took her time putting in my info until the pain became so severe I passed out in the wheelchair. Woke up a few hours later in a bed hooked up & barely feeling any pain.
Turned out the complication from my surgery developed an infection which turned septic, hence the horrid pain. I had to stay in the hospital for a week as my fever would spike then break so often. The nurse actually came & apologized for not taking me seriously which I appreciated but it wasn't needed. I do hope she learned her lesson.
Sad. Sepsis is a killer of ALL walks of life! Recent surgery was her first clue. I’m so sorry 😢
Wow. I have never in my life. Heard of someone apologizing like that. Good for them. Hopefully they never acted like that again. You grow quite suspicious of people after working in the ER. We get lied to so much and we get put through so much BS.
When I was in the hospital for my burst appendix I had to put some definition to the nonsense 1-10 pain scale. I defined 10 as the pain from my appendix exploding, and for most of my stay, that worked. However at a certain point my pain became worse than that, and idk how else to describe that other than 11. If the scale was actually properly defined rather than completely arbitrary patients might have an easier time using it
Agreed. He doesn’t understand pain well, based on his past shorts.
The pain scale is actually properly defined. No one reads.
Using the Pain Scale
If you want your pain to be taken seriously,
It is important that you take the pain scale seriously.
Because pain is subjective, it is difficult to explain what you’re feeling to another person-even your own doctor. To effectively use the pain scale, familiarize yourself with the levels before your procedure, identifying what key levels are indicative to your pain level. Following a surgery or procedure, typically we tell patients to continue to take medications that allow them to maintain a level of “5 or below.”
0 - Pain Free
Mild Pain - Nagging, annoying, but doesn’t really interfere with daily living activities.
1 - Pain is very mild, barely noticeable. Most of the time you don’t think about it.
2 - Minor pain. Annoying and may have occasional stronger twinges.
3 - Pain is noticeable and distracting, however, you can get used to it and adapt.
Moderate Pain - Interferes significantly with daily living activities.
4 - Moderate pain. If you are deeply involved in an activity, it can be ignored for a period of time, but is still distracting.
5 - Moderately strong pain. It can’t be ignored for more than a few minutes, but with effort you still can manage to work or participate in some social activities.
6 - Moderately strong pain that interferes with normal daily activities. Difficulty concentrating.
Severe Pain - Disabling; unable to perform daily living activities.
7 - Severe pain that dominates your senses and significantly limits your ability to perform normal daily activities or maintain social relationships. Interferes with sleep.
8 - Intense pain. Physical activity is severely limited. Conversing requires great effort.
9 - Excruciating pain. Unable to converse. Crying out and/or moaning uncontrollably.
10 - Unspeakable pain. Bedridden and possibly delirious. Very few people will ever experience this level of pain.
@@user-ok1wh2sp4b How is someone between 8 and 10 going to read and understand all of this, though?
when my boyfriend was a kid, he said 7 the first time he was asked about the pain in his appendix. The second time he was asked was a couple of weeks later where he said 14 and the doctor dismissed him until his mum gave them a good dressing down - by saying that he was saying the pain had doubled! turns out his appendix had exploded and turned into peritonitis. when you're in pain, the scale becomes different
"I only had two beers"
This reminds me of a little story that happened a couple of years ago:
My dad went to a party with his ex-coworkers (since they are all retired). 30 minutes in one of the coworkers said he needed to go to the bathroom and after not coming back for some time he went to check on him only to find a bunch of people gathered around his friend lying on the ground. They called an ambulance and the nurse from the first responders asked if they had anything to drink. They said he only had a glass and a half of wine since they only started. She looked at them and said "hah man", loaded the barely standing man into the ambulance and took him home, told his wife "here's you drunk husband" and left. His wife was confused as to how he could get so drunk in less than an hour since he left, but she still took him to bed. Since his condition hasn't gotten any better in the morning she called an ambulance and the SAME team that dropped him off in the evening came to pick him up. Drove him directly to the hospital. He wasn't drunk but had a stroke and barely survived with permanent brain damage.
I wish suing was cheaper, because that would be a really easy lawsuit to win I'd think.
Dang yes that’s a lawsuit all over!! Even if we are highly suspicious about something someone is telling us we still have to check them completely just to be sure. All they had to do was take his stats and would have known they needed to take him to the hospital🤦♀️
Shit all she had to do was test his bac
if someone comes in and says I’ve only had two drinks and can’t walk straight I’d be checking for a roofie
Seriously, someone appearing to be blackout drunk on two drinks should at least raise the suspicion that they were spiked as well as the possibility that they're lying.
You see, that’s because you TRUST your patient. Doctors are trained to believe everyone lies to them. And they wouldn’t have to if there wasn’t so much judgment from the medical community.
hey i have no tolerance and the two beers would leave me very tipsy. I can still kinda walk straight though.
I mean on one hand I live in an area where people do genuinely get drunk this bad to the point of forgetting how many they had, and end up in the ER. The roofie thing though is genuinely a concern as well, I'd think to check their blood work for both alcohol levels AND any drugs just in case. There are also people who digest alcohol weird and can genuinely go blackout from only a few drinks (I know from experience) so it could be the truth too.
Bottom line doctors ask for a reason but if a patient is giving weird info, I feel like they should check all their bases just to be safe.

I took my friend to the ER and the swore she was prego. She said unless god made me prego I’m not. She told them she was a virgin and they didn’t believe her. They came out to ask me question assume I was her bf. I said yea I’m not her bf. We are just friend and she doubled over in pain. She’s a virgin as far as I know. I’ve never even seen her have a bf she was always too busy doing other things to get ahead in life. They tested her twice and she said see I told you. I’m not sexually active. I did hear one of the nurses saying she couldn’t believe it and how she could miss out on a whole part of life and enjoy her youth. I guess my friend her that too cause when she got a room and I was in there and we were talking the nurse came in and my friend said you say I’m missing out but from everything I’ve seen it causes more issue between people than anything. I’m young I have many many years to have fun. I don’t see the need to give something special away to anyone who is nice to me. I started laughed. She always knew what she wanted and was very strong willed. It was also the only time I knew the hospital was wrong.
"I can't be pregnant" is such a struggle, I've never bounced on a dick nor intend to but am struggling with lower ab pain and reproductive system irregularity and EVERY TIME I see some doctor they're like. But you could be pregnant tho! Love when doctors don't care what you're saying to them because they assume your life revolves around unprotected sex and lying, no matter what
And telling them, "I haven't even had sex" is met with an eye roll. Like there are people who have had sex, but don't do it that often. If I say there's no way, I mean, unless God decided to give me a miracle baby impregnation me without having sex in ages, it's highly doubtful that I am.

@@azurastar3223 When I get that question, even in my 50s, I tell them I'm the new frickin Mother Mary. That seems to shake their brains loose, plus it usually gets a chuckle.
My moms has menopause and they still ask her...
My favourite question in my job is when you're doing the prenatal profile and the woman asks you why we're doing a blood borne disease profile (i.e HIV). I say "oh it's just because we know you were exposed to another persons body fluids." And they usually nod thoughtfully.
But on a different note I know most people who say "I don't know how I could be pregnant" just haven't processed the reality of the situation yet and they are sexually active. But I have a couple of friends who got pregnant from date rape, where they got drugged, and they did not know they they were attacked or exposed to semen. So it's worth being delicate to those patients until its established that they actually are sexually active with men and nothing else happened
Usually when the patient says 11 or up it's the most pain they've ever been in
Thank you! This is exactly how I see it! When I was pregnant, I had gallstones blocking the duct and the wall was degenerating, which ended up causing a lot more problems and started having mass organ failure. I live with chronic pain. When I say I'm at an 11 it's me saying hey I'm in more pain than I've ever been in my life and to help me or something else will. Unfortunately most medical professionals will roll their eyes at you and think you are lying when you aren't. It is very sad. Like obviously if we say over 10 then just put 10 down on the chart/white board/yaddayadda.
@@evy7725 If it doesn't change anything then why not just write 10? Peoples pain tolerance and experience change. When it tecked my bike as a kid I was at a 10. But now as an adult I've experienced new pain that is now a 10. But some doctors see it as over exaggerating I'd you keep coming back with different health issues and rating it a 10. Gallbladder was the worst pain I felt. They kicked me out of the hospital (because they thought I was there for drugs as unfortunate as these situations arise and I sure hope you've never been in one cause it sucks) but then child birth gave me a new 10 and the women there rolled their eyes. No one believes you when you say 10. They see 10 as "I'm currently dying". But it's also subjective to the person's pain tolerance. Some people might make a comment on how they've thought they knew pain until their new experience comes along. Being hit with a baseball bat vs a car. Both 10 experiences but depending on which you have first, it'll make a new 10, or the step up 11. It really just depends on the nurses and doctors you have and if they are kind enough to understand. I was thankful to have a kind primary, even if the hospital didn't help. Everyone has their own way to express the amount of pain and how to convey it. My friend explains by telling me something that it would feel closely too that is easy to imagine. Some people use numbers. I'm sure there are millions of different ways to show the pain.
@@melfinamalor1233 they understand that your 20 is 10. that’s all I’m saying. that no matter what you say it still means 10 to them.

I doubt they'd admit that in front of their parents, and not just kids, many people lie about pregnancy.

The minute they ask about pain I disclose my pain contract. Last visit I was dizzy AF and MY heart rate kept dipping to 35. Nurse says "we cant give you any pain meds" I want to scream " I didn't ask you for pain meds! I have plenty. I'm not here for pain I'm here for profound dizziness and heart rate issues. "
Should have offered them some of your supply "are you running low or something? You can borrow some of mine"
My mom went once for some real bad sciatica and told them as soon as she was admitted that she DIDNT want the normal pain med they'd give for it bc it made her real nauseous, and that anything else was fine. They still treated her like a drug seeker
I literally became a pill addict due to my chronic pain. It's not addicts, it's the doctors, and big pharma.
No one wakes up one day and decided to be an addict. I was offered one because I was in so much pain, loved the pain relief because doctors refused to help me or even order labs.
I went through almost 3 years of opiate addiction BECAUSE doctors ignored me. Also most addicts don't seek at a hospital. We seek for ways to get our fix by trying to get money for the dealer. Do some research on addiction before you come in with your judgmental ass.
Lots of people also get addicted to opiates BECAUSE doctors prescribed it to them, like my brother.
Addicts are not the ones to blame. Learn a little.
I have severe arthritis that went undiagnosed because doctors wouldn't help me. Stfu
I'm right there with you. The ER docs treating my broken arm we're like it says here that you have an aversion to opiates, and I'm like yeah they give me a freaking panic attack. When I said I would still use them because my arm was f****** broken, they treated me like a drug seeker. Like yes I will use hydrocodone for setting a broken arm that's about it. I have ehlers-danlos syndrome so I'm used to dislocating my arms and legs and hurting myself just broken arm hurts really bad. Currently treating myself at home with weed and not taking painkillers😅
I have chronic pain issues as well and I hate!! having to go to the E.R for anything! Due to looks,and attitudes from the Doctors and Nurses as well when you say anything about Pain b/c of the drug seekers.
They not only ignored me for 2 years, but i was bleeding extremely heavily in extreme pain consistently for nearly 3 months after being extremely irregular since my periods had first begun, but before they would treat the issue that they literally were able to diagnose, while i was still bleeding, i had to take THREE pregnancy tests before they'd treat it. I still bleed alot and it amplified the pain but oh, its treated ig!
I'm so so sorry. That should never have happened to you.
Me going into an ER disoriented with the staff assuming I'm just drunk AF ... Hadn't touched a drink in 15 years and was just in so much pain my brain was stalling lol
They couldn't just give you a breathalyzer test? Or a blood test to confirm? I feel like this would be easy to verify
Low blood sugar will present as drunkenness sometimes. Also, there's a legit disease that turns food into alcohol in some people. They could never touch a drop, but be drunk. I can't remember what it's called.
(Edit: I looked it up...Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS), also called Gut Fermentation Syndrome)

"11 out of 10" while laughing at a meme.
Chronic pain folks: It's like a 7...well, a 6 if we call (insert really painful near death event) a 9.
Yep pain is subjective! I live at a 3 so if I say I’m at a 6 I’m in a lot of pain. Frankly if I’m in the ER I’m seriously hurting/ or really sick and nothing else has worked because I hate the ER! Having a chronic illness seems to signify that I am a drug seeker. Almost died because of this mentality. It sucks.
I've argued with Nurses about my Pain Score before.
Y'see, when you have severe chronic Pain, you adapt, suppress & learn to mask your response to said Pain - which is why I'm not screaming & rolling 'round crying with a Pain Score of 7/10.
For a start, crying & screaming do squat for Pain. Something you learn several months in...
@@heathermason3473 Yes! Half the time the drugs they think we're seeking wouldn't even solve the problem, either.
And I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I hate being asked to number my pain. I never know what to say. If I say 3 that might be the equivalent to a 6 to someone else. Or my 8 might be a 4 to another person. Everyone perceives pain differently.
AMEN!! 🙌
I always answer this one with "pain is relative. Most people's 10 is my 6. I LIVE in the 3-4 range. So when j tell you my pain is at a 5, you can't use YOUR pain scale."
chronic pain sucks and living with it for the last 20+ yrs has become numbing. I've forgotten what it feels like to be " normal". I try NOT to go to the ER because most times I'm treated like a drug seeker 🙄 when in reality 😂 they could throw most any drug at me and it wouldn't touch my pain. Medication doesn't work on nerve damage from degenerative disc disease.
When someone asks me if I’m pregnant, I say “Well, I have an IUD. If I’m pregnant, I need to go to the ER.”
Something about it being an ectopic pregnancy right
Actually and IUD shouldn't be an ER visit (unless there is some other condition in which any pregnancy should be an ER visit) as the IUD shouldn't affect the pregnancy at all and should come out with everything else at birth. Ectopic pregnancies are pregnancies anywhere but the uterus.
I have 2 friends that got pregnant with an IUD.
@@betsyadams9670 Like I said, if I was pregnant with the IUD, I’d need to go to the ER to remove it to avoid complications. Unless these two friends got pregnant within a month of inserting the IUD, which is usually when that happens.

if someone says he has pain 12 of 10 means:
The pain is so overwhelming and has a quality I couldn't imagine and can't put into words. SO YES, 12 of 10.
the only thing doctors will hear is "i am dumb and don't know how ranges work"
10 is dead, 9 is unconscious. if you say 12 you are just a prick who disregards other peoples pain because yours must be so much worse that you suddenly need a whole new scala to fit on. ridiculous.
@@anon2479-rz3qp ...they're literally just describing how much they're suffering, please shut uр
That just mean they are going to be pain to deal with, because if there was a hypothetical range above 10, you'd be too unconcious to report that.
@@Karak-_-when you're in excruciating pain, like I was once, the stupid little frowning/crying face on the pain scale doesn't even represent how you feel! I'm sorry but 😭 didn't represent how much pain I was in. I was literally begging my husband to get a gun and end me! So I said 11 even though I probably should have said a higher number. My pain was more like 😵💀. I wanted to die just to end the pain!
The scale is 1 to 10 , so the worst pain you ever feel would be a 10.
“You’re pregnant”
Lesbians and hysterectomy ladies: “am I though?”

Funny/not funny story...
A few months after I had my youngest daughter (traumatic birth-hemorraged twice) I had a kidney stone obstruction and went to the ER.
We were there with my VERY TINY infant (4lbs micro-preemie) who was only a week out of the NICU, and my husband is holding our sweet baby. I am told they need to give me a pregnancy test before they can give me a CT scan. No problem, right?
They came back and tell me the test is positive!! I FREAK OUT!!! Because I was told that if I have another baby that I will die. And as I am about to explain this to the doctor, I hear screaming and yelling in the room next to mine.
Woman 1: “HOW COULD YOU!!??? WE ARE MARRIED?!?! I TRUSTED YOU!!!!” Etc…
Woman 2: “HONEY!!! I SWEAR!! There must be some mistake!!! I have never in my life been with a man and I would NEVER cheat on you!! EVER!!!”
I mean she is sobbing, her wife is screaming at her and about to leave…
The doctor, my husband and I are all stunned into silence.
The doctor quickly excused himself and goes to assess the situation next door when we hear more yelling from ANOTHER ROOM!!!
Man: “WHAT?!?! We CAN’T be pregnant!!?? We are TOO OLD to have another baby!!!???”
Woman: *sobbing* “I thought it was just the fu!!! I can’t do this again!!”
I hear the nurses and doctors scrambling and my husband looks at me with his eyes wide, and we are like…”Are we in some weird movie? Some experiment that we are unaware of?” Like…what is going on???
So…the nurses and doctors go rushing into all of the rooms and tell all of us that they are going to redo the tests with a different lot number/batch of tests.
Lol…turns out that the batch of tests they used on all of us were faulty and all of our tests were negative!!
Lol…I felt so bad for the lesbian couple!! 😳

The “patients always lie about their drinking” attitude is potentially quite harmful. I was spiked at a club last year and had trouble convincing the paramedic I was telling the truth about having pre drinks but nothing at the club, and he therefore was kinda skepticism about the whole idea that I’d been spiked at all
Agreed. A lot of this is problematic. The pain scale is out dated and subjective. So are people who have med allergies. Yes addicts use these methods to try and get meds but also this attitude is really making is hard for chronic pain patients to get help in ERs
Not always.. I once got dead drunk on a can of beer.. My friends took me to the ER, I got tested, my alcohol level was extremely low and I was still dead drunk! None could explain it and it never happened since..
You got your drink spiked at the club but you're also saying you didn't have drinks at the club? I'm confused, no wonder they were confused.
@@lindafoster3384 could have had a non alcoholic drink that was spiked.
@@lindafoster3384 I was injected
edit, for context: there was a spree of injection spikings in my city this year
Hey Steve - if the patient can't walk, tells you they've only had two beers and they're a woman, maybe don't call them a liar. Many women whose drinks have been spiked are not believed by authorities /medical staff.
Yes well said!
Same goes for men but you can usually very quickly tell the difference between an alcoholic and someone who just went partying.
Well even men can be drugged in a bar. I have read a lot of cases about gay men being drugged in gay bars and murdered.
I thought the same!
Also for someone who usually doesn't drink 2 drinks may be well enough to barely walk
It's fuckin weird hearing about dilaudid when i went to the ER for a knee *cap* dislocation.
But it IS STRONG
I was fully able to walk the day after my kneecap was relocated, without a brace unassisted.
One minute i was fine the next minute my knee felt like it was gonna split apart. I needed a knee brace and crutches/cane for 2 months.
DONT underestimate dilauded. It doesnt even feel like a painkiller, it makes you think you're normal, and thats the BAD part!
My mom lived in incredible pain. She was so desperate to get doctors to help her: she was known to say her pain was at 14. That particular doctor (resident) told her to go home and take advil or Tylenol. Sorry, but when people describe their pain at that level, sometimes it’s better to listen with compassion.
I'm sorry 😔
I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Neuropathy. Which means I'm in pain 24/7 I stopped going to the ER because they never did anything since they found out by my doctor that I was taking medicine already. So Costochondritis, (inflamed lining of the ribs) and so many other symptoms that make you feel you're in so much pain. Just with Costochondritis you can't even breathe so you mistaken this with a heart attack. They twice gave me a prescription for Ibuprofen. 😒 Not even a good check up. They talked among themselves and all I said was she us a chronic patient.. And that was the last time I bothered them. I have more than 200 symptoms. Which are hurting me mentally and physically. But the doctors are doing great. Now a glitch on medicare ripped me off my medical care. So yeah I am in a hell of pain... Hoping your mom is ok.❤
I went to my local, small town ER after work one evening with a blinding migraine. The nurse was outstanding, even dimmed the overhead light for me... then the doctor came in.
I explained I had a long history of migraines that usually lasted for 3 to 5 days each with aura, that my PCP's office was in the adjoining building, he'd tried me on everything INCLUDING demerol, dilaudid, stadol and several other narcotics. The ONLY thing that really worked was Toradol (an anti inflammatory).
Instead of picking up on the fact that I told him narcotics don't work and I was asking for an anti inflammatory, he grabbed my arm and dragged me out in the open to a mirror and screamed "Why are your eyes so red? You don't work in a dusty environment!" I fired back, "I work 12 hour shifts i a carbide plant! We mix our own powder and machine it!" His tone instantly changed and he said, "my dad used to work in carbide" THEN he ordered a shot of Toradol that I'd asked for over 2 hours earlier - and acted like we were best friends... after essentially treating me like a drug seeking junkie!
I personally like, “ welllll, it was like this…I was taking the garbage out, naked. I tripped on the stairs. And there was a chair leg. And it just went up my butt. “. Best story ever!

Had a neighbor in the 80s who was an ER nurse. She told me about a guy who came into the ER because he had shoved chicken bones up his butt. He expected them to dig them out for him. She was like "Nope! Get on your haunches".
Worst one I've heard: "we were drunk and I accidentally fell on the beer bottle," with no signs of intoxication and the glass bottle broken inside, still with lube on it. Use proper TOYS, people!
About the pain scale: Most people don't know what it actually means. "The worst pain you can imagine" can be vastly different, since that is highly based off of someone's personal experience. Someone who has never actually had a limb amputated does not know what that pain would be like. It would be a good idea to put up charts that describe exactly what each pain level means, like a 10 would be, "I can't move or speak due to the pain". You can find them for free online.
Me: ” No, I am not pregnant. That's impossible"
Dr: "Well, if you're sexually active there's a possibility that you could become pregnant."
Me: "yeah, I understand that that's why I can't get pregnant."
Dr: 🤨 "Are you sexually active?"
Me: "nope."
I say that too lmao. I'am but like am sure I ain't gonna have a real bf anytime soon or have sex with anyone. But again don't want to tell them I do other things which probably still counts as "sexually active"
A doctor tried to say my almost throwing up in the morning was pregnancy related. At the time, had never had sex. Turns out I had an ulcer. Wish the stupid doctor hadn't been so insistent about the pregnancy thing. Sure upset my grandma.
It’s always best to open with why you can’t be pregnant because there’s a lot of myths, and misinformation out there. Sex ed unfortunately sucks for most people… there’s too many people who believe that the pull out method is effective, that if they don’t orgasm they can’t get pregnant, doing it in a certain position or eating some strange food means you can’t get pregnant… Not to mention the totally misplaced embarrassment and shame some people have for admitting to sex. But the best thing a patient can do is explain their recent sexual history in as much detail as possible. I always think it’s more considerate if a doctor takes you aside from any fmaily members to ask this, even if your answer is going to be no.
Even if that’s just “No I haven’t had sex, at all, including other sexual activities” or “I haven’t had sex with man because I’m a lesbian” rather than just saying “I can’t be pregnant”. Doctors are trying to make sure you’ve told them absolutely everything. If there’s a tiny chance you could be pregnant (like you’re on birth control or have been told you can’t get pregnant) doctors need to rule it out, since treating you for something else could out your life in danger. Or harm the foetus/cause a miscarriage. Which would be devastating for some women, or it could be seen as inducing an abortion which is now illegal in most states…
I've said, you have to be exposed lol
When doctors ask if I could be pregnant I just say “not unless you believe in immaculate conception!”
"i cant be pregnant" is SUCH a struggle when ur a virgin tho :D it feels like the salem witch trials: nobody believes me whatever i say
It's like even the doctors are stigmatizing keeping it in our pants now, bevause they think it's impossible for a young woman to NOT be having sex these days. I blame hookup culture for this.
I went to the er with the worst stomach pain I've ever experienced 2 years ago. It had been about 2 weeks that I had been in constant pain when I went in. They asked me about 20 times if I was 100% sure there was no way I was pregnant. I eventually got so frustrated that I flat out told the nurse "I'm a Virgin, okay? I absolutely cannot be pregnant. Please just stop asking. I'll sign whatever waiver you need me to sign for you to run tests on me, but I'm not freaking pregnant." And even after that, they still asked me several times if I was sure. Guess what? I wasn't pregnant.
Went to a doctor 30 minutes away about a year later. Told that story to one of the nurses and they were flabbergasted. Told me that while some people do lie, they don't ask a million times to make sure. They said in their hospital they ask 3 times and then just get a waiver.

“Don’t you know it’s illegal to give opioids for migraines?”
“It’s all in your head!”

@@HavianEla you do realize that makes you the exception. Your one case might have been real. But doctors deal with thousands of patients who are just looking for a quick high.

And I had to hit him with, "Sir, I haven't had sex in 2 years, I'm definitely not pregnant. Just give me the pee cup". 😂

@@rory8182 Yes, asking is necessary, especially to not do harm by treatments, but if the explanation why a pregnancy is not possible, doctors and nurses must believe the patient.

No tylenol, motrin, nsaids, cox 2, anything ending in 'cet', codiene, 17 known antibiotics, compazine (had that reaction while I was IN a hospital as a patient), iodine, etc. Calling me a liar when all of this is detailed on medic alert items is something I've heard before ~ and I've walked out of appointments, ERs, etc. I'd rather die of whatever is wrong with me than some arrogant "medical professional's" force feeding me something I've went through anaphylaxis from. In truth, my worst fear is ending up in an ER unconscious and without someone that knows me and can advocate for me accompanying me. Aside from that, I've never shown up at an ER requesting pain meds. Once I did go in with a horrid toothache and asked for an antibiotic ~ and told them flat out I didn't want anything for pain. I have SLE and RA, and perpetually rotting teeth from the SLE. I've got more than enough to deal with without being called a liar by a complete stranger.
Sorry dude, this one was super offensive ~ and the fact that a lot of addicts scam you is no excuse for basically spitting on even a handful of patients because of it. Your statement is a perfect example of why I've been to a doctor maybe 6 times in the past 25 years, and why I'd feel safer/in better hands with my dog's veterinarian or the local witch doctor.
