- In this video, Amanda shares how her first colon cancer symptoms started as mild IBS like a consistent growling stomach to eventually, blood in her stool. She was told it could be hemorrhoids or a fissure but her symptoms persisted. Finally she was able to get a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Something needs to change! Doctors need to stop with the assumption that it is anxiety or depression. Everything physical should be ruled out first.
Or they say "fibromyalgia". 🙄
Bleeding for months is not normal. How the heck could doctors be so dismissive of this woman?!
I'm from Canada and my mom was just diagnosed with rectal cancer. She's 67. Her mother had colon cancer and her brother had precancerous polyps removed. I'm 42 and just saw a gastroenterologist because I have had stomach issues for years and he told me I don't need a colonoscopy until 50. I pushed the issue and I am getting one in a week. So ridiculous how we have to fight so hard for our own health. They always stress how early detection is key and yet doctors don't want to do the testing.
When I was diagnosed with rectal cancer I was told my children should get their first colonoscopy when they turn 40. So you shouldn’t have to work so hard to get a colonoscopy at your age.
Thank you. I'm so sorry to hear you have it so young. I pray everything goes well for you.
@roch145 My family doctor sent me to the specialist because he said it is good to get a colonoscopy now. My sister is 8 years younger than me and our doctor told her to go at 40. The specialist said they take the age your parent is when diagnosed and send you for one 10 years earlier. So that would put me at 57 but he said 50. So ridiculous. It's happening to younger people. I hope you are doing well.
@@user-us8tb9qe9l There are many inconsistencies in the medical world. Unfortunately that means people have to push against the system every now and then in order to get their needs met. Despite the trend of younger people getting colon/rectal cancer, insurance companies and national health plans still go by probabilities and won’t approve colonoscopies for younger patients.
I’m doing pretty well, I’ve been cancer free for 3.5 years. So I’m almost out of the woods for likely recurrence.
I hope your colonoscopy was negative. It really is a shame they wait until somebody turns 50, and in your case that you had to push the doctor to order the test, especially with your family history. How did everything go, if you don’t mind me asking.
This is the 100th time I’ve seen a video from this channel where a young person was reporting scary symptoms and was dismissed for years before they finally found out they had cancer. Cancer rates are higher than ever and in people who are very young, if someone has symptoms like this they should be tested just to make sure.
It's not only disgraceful, it's CRIMINAL. Ins. companies won't pay for colonoscopy till age 50. WIthout making person use precious time jumping through hoops, when they claim at age 50 we need one symptoms or not, TO CATCH IT EARLY. I could cry watching these videos.
@@michellehartford1124, that's not true. If there is a reason and a Dr prescribes it, the insurance will pay for it. What the insurance won't pay is that if you have no symptoms, but you want to do it, let's say anually for whatever the reason you want to have it done. I thinks it's silly for insurance not to pay for an $800 test, which in the long run it will cost a lot more if in a year or two from there you will end up with stage 4.
Im not a doctor and even I know that depression doesn’t make you bleed from your colon
I wonder what stage it was. Plus, so many doctors have no sense of humanity. Many doctors dismiss or downplay young people who appear to be in good physical health which is sad. And colon cancer is on the rise among young people. Doctors need to LISTEN to their patients.
I hate the idea that young people “can’t be sick”. I saw a gastro who told me basically I’m too young for anything to be wrong with me. My coworker was dismissed by doctors for her symptoms and eventually ended up in the hospital being told she could have died if she waited longer to go and was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in her early 20’s.. meanwhile doctors told her she was “too young” to have anything like that. It’s ridiculous.
Sickening. 20's is the age where it is often found. Then again later- 50's-60's. If yound people can't be sick why the hell would they ever bother going to an MD in the first place. WTF is this. Pediatrics, and skip to geriatrics????
My heart hurts for these beautiful people. My baby sister at 35 died in 5 months (colon, liver + lung cancers) she never smoked or barely drank alcohol....it was Stage 4 when we found out, a little too late🥺
The amount of times I have heard this where dr's assume it's a "fissure" or "hemorrhoids" and they "think" it can't be cancer. Since you're dealing with peoples lives this is totally unacceptable, it makes sense, especially when there is blood, to be on the side of caution and do a colonoscopy.
I’m so sorry. All of those doctors failed you. I need them to stop dismissing people. We all know our own bodies better than anything. The majority of people are not fishing for an illness. This has to stop! I’m glad you finally got a proper diagnosis. Wishing you all the best!
Your story is very inspiring. I just recently turned 30 and was diagnosed with Chrohns recently. I’ve been asking my drs for years to check as I’ve had tons of digestive issues and other symptoms. They always wrote me off as nothing is wrong. I’m also active duty in the military so we get some of the worst medical care ever. I’ve been medically neglected for years as “I’m young”.
Good job for not giving up and pursuing this until you were heard. I wish you the best outcome possible.
I am so sorry this happened to you. We have to be our own advocates.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Just because somebody is young doesn’t mean they don’t have cancer and doctors should know better!
Yes, the food we are eating these days is mostly processed and we are seeing this more and more. My father dies at the age of 40 of Colin Cancer in early 2000. He lived just 2 months after diagnosis.
The damage done by medical gaslighting of often the worst part of a diagnosis. I was also nearly driven to crazy after chasing my diagnosis for 7 months.
Thank you for sharing this story. I pray that this young woman is doing OK now and receiving the treatment she needs.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope and pray for a full recovery! And shame on the so called professionals that fluffed you off
It's very strange now how everyone who gets blood work tested it always seems to come back ok but later on Drs find Cancer, it's happening way too often for some reason
Because they only do the most basic lab tests. Insurance doesn't want to/won't cover anything else. There are more cancer markers to run but they don't.
@@sj9410hi, could you please mention some of the specific names of the blood tests that should be done for cancer?
It's a disadvantage to be young when you have a serious disease because most doctors just disregard your symptoms as psychiatric or imaginary.
You are so articulate and that was so informative. Thank you
Wow…what an incredible recount of events! I’m so sorry you had to go thru that, but so glad you came out on the other side 🙌🏽❤️
I have Metastasized Rectal Carcinoma stage 4 and I was overlooked for Hemorrhoid's and I need to lose weight, 2 years later my symptoms got worse and I Colonoscopy which reveled I had Rectal cancer, I also spoke with the oncologist which I discovered that I had it spread to the Liver. I was put at stage 4. Hearing this story makes my blood boil because I was medically gaslighted as well. I know what she went through and its frustrating when Doctors don't wanna take that next step to figuring out whats wrong with you. All I can i hope and pray for is that someday I will live a normal life again and be cancer free. Being 38 it hits hard at a younger age.
Blood from any orifice should be thoroughly investigated. Shame on that doctor assuming with clinical clues like that. I am so tired of doctors dismissing patients bc they are young, pretty, fit, etc. I went through this, and it needs to stop! I was dismissed for 2 years because"I looked good." They didn't take me seriously until I was 50 lbs. lighter and looked like something was terribly wrong. I told them I don't care that my "labs are normal" and I "look healthy" I know my body and I knew I was sick!
This is the first time I hear the medical field blow off rectal bleeding as grief!!! What the hell!
It seems to me that the one thing that so many (too many) of these people have in common is being waved off by one doctor or another…doctors need to get a handle on what’s happening in healthcare!
That's really scary.I had all the symptoms of colon cancer and spent months worrying about it, had all possible tests including colonoscopy and all were normal but every time I see stpries like this one I freak out and go bck to think that I have something that was missed by all tests.
Not to scare you, but my mom had over 100 thousand dollars worth of tests which said no problems.
She was finally diagnosed by a doctor who never saw her, with his FINGERS.
She passed 3 weeks later. It was everywhere.
Those tests are archaic and not accurate many many times.
Follow up with other doctors if your symptoms persist.
❤️
Hi, did you ever find out what was causing your symptoms?
@@Xyztxo1082 not yet ..told IBS but not convinced. SIBO suspected but the test is not available where I live.
My dearest
Amenda , you are smart beautiful and brave , you will always get through this difficult time of your life.
Doctors need to STOP with the:
Too young
It’s all in your head, seek therapy.
It’s a horse not a zebra.
People know their own bodies.
LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS.
My god continue to be with you and bless you
Thank you for sharing your story. Im waiting for my Biopsy report. Im not feeling the best about it all to say the lease
Why are so many young folks getting this cancer? It's unbelievable what's been happening .
It's quite disturbing the rate of young people who are coming down with diseases typically seen in older folks. It's even more disturbing when a patient tries to get help and is dismissed. Utter disgrace.
It's the food that the Government lets the big food corporations that legally b 10:05

This story makes me sooooo mad-how the medical people dismissed her for so long 😡 with such blatant symptoms. What state is this? I live in Silicon Valley with excellent medical choices, plus I was in healthcare myself. Horrible what she went through. Same on them!
I am so sorry you suffered for so long before getting an accurate diagnosis. Wishing nothing but good health and happiness to you going forward.❤️To the medical community: Since when is chronic constipation and bleeding from the rectum common? The medical care in this country is sub standard. As doctors you need to do so much better.
Probably no apology from those health care providers that didn’t take you seriously. It’s so hard to advocate for yourself when they don’t want to hear it.
This BOILS my blood . Medical GASLIGTHING g is so frustrating!!!
I wonder if these doctors that dismiss patient’s concerns, change their practice when they find out that their patients worrying & insistence was indeed warranted?
Do they now run the tests, investigate earlier etc ?
People know their bodies. Doctors should take that into consideration.
Failure to diagnose is medical malpractice
2022 April I rushed a fantastic doctor, colon specialist! He treated delicately, checked everything, then announced it is anal fissure. 6 weeks later again carefully checked New year time he will perform colonoscopy Via looking to face, you can not make diagnostics. Get well please, wishing you great health!
MY GOD DOCTOR’S NEED TO UNDERSTAND WE KNOW OUR BODIES BETTER THAN THEY DO. THEY NEED TO STOP BRUSHING US OFF. ITS RIDICULOUS AND IT’S UNFAIR. I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. WE STILL HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR OURSELVES. LOTS OF LOVE ❤️
We don't go to the doctor to hear "It’s probably..." or "I don't think...". We can stay home and say that to ourselves. Doctors need to act like they finished medical school.
The problem is doctors get a biased training from a 7th Day Adventist agenda and told to prescribe meds due to big Pharma agenda as well. The major issue is companies like Mr. Kellogg’s company were designed to replace natural fatty meats like bacon and eggs so human hormones would be damaged. They pushed grains and fiber to make money but it has damaged human health and the colon is not built to process all that. Carnivore is healing people and proves we don’t need fiber or any plants. I have been carnivore for a year and 4 month, had IBS for years before and it reversed and no more constipation! No gas and no more bloating! Every one on carnivore sees same results too! Fiber is harming human colons, same with vegetable oils! But plants in general, as fiber, vegetable oils, and plant sugars cause all this mess!
Hope your doing well now
in my case I had a similar symptom and during the colonoscopy my colon was clear, they only took a biopsy to check because I had high calprotectin, I wish you a lot of health and strength to fight the disease
update please for dear Amanda ? 🙏💛
Was an iron panel done? Ferritin? CEA? I am hoping this young lady is ok and I praise her for telling her story so other folks will be vigilant with their health and symptoms, regardless of age.
I think people should ask for a copy of the medical journal or study that shows if you are sad or stressed, blood may start pouring out of your rectum. I want to see that one. Any doctor that tells you that your bleeding is probably stress, needs to have their license revoked or they should at least have to back to medical school and try again. I would also call all of those doctor's offices to let them know they dismissed my cancer. Maybe you can save the next person.
Why... so many young people with cancer! I'm so very sorry you're having to deal with this!!! And what's more is of all these young people I've heard of... everyone I've seen and heard of have all been otherwise very health conscious and were so healthy before their diagnosis... 😞 I'm so sorry, sweetie... sending prayers from Maine... 💕💕💕💕💕
Because we no longer eat real food. When you look at the ingredients in the foods that we buy in the supermarkets, the chemical additives for preservation or even flavour, it is no longer just food. Too much processing.
@jouezmoi I understand that, and 100% agree... but at least 3 or 4 of the people I watched were vegan. I suppose nothing is safe... it's also in the water, the air... everywhere. No escape... we're probably all doomed.
That's right
I think it's time to stop giving our hard earned money to large super markets and either start shopping at our local farmers market for fresh fruits and vegetables or to start growing our own food. We can start small like growing herbs and fruits and vegetables and having indoor aero gardens if you live in colder regions of the country.
@@pallavisreetambraparni6995 agree!
unbelievable that the doctors didnt search for origin of blood sooner
i have been having "IBS-D" for seven years. it hit me randomly and out of no where, but it has been horrible ever since that first "flair". Urgency, painful cramps that even wake me up from sleep. a couple ulcers seen during colonoscopy so they shrugged it off as caused by NSAIDs. BMs are always loose, jump between diarrhea and constipation but even when im consitpated the BM eventually comes out and it is still loose! makes no sense. lately my BMs have been maroon in color and occasionally VERY green, and not from anything new eaten in diet.
For a year there has been a fleshy lump on the outside of my rectum, its not a hemmorhoid, i have however dealt with those also for years and thats their go to to blame the blood and pain... anyways, the lump formed when i thought i had a fissure. the pain was so unreal i would shake if i tried to bear down to pass BM, it felt like it was tearing, it too months to heal and a lot of OTC products and creativity on my end bc it took foreven to get into a colorectal surgeon,... i canceled the appt bc by the time it came up i was so defeated. the lump is entirely different than my experience with hemorrhoids. and recently it has been worsening, becoming larger and my rectum is inflammed, stinging and in pain, and the internal muscles feel swollen. Blood in my stools for years. Excessive mucous. even When i pass gas mucus will come out. I feel full very fast when I eat, if i even have an appetite, and if i do eat then after within 15 to 30 min, i have to get to a toilet urgently. Always fatigued, always feeling weak and lethargic, always anxious, constantly nauseated, puke almost daily, and my stomach hurts so bad at times with was feels like a ball on the lower left quadrant..... something is wrong, i just know it. but the doctors just wont help. They wont listen. Im told "youre too young for that", and "maybe if you lose 15 lbs', "its just behavioral"..,,
I can't do it anymore.. its to the point when i decided i will just deal with it until i am literally on my death bed and hope maybe they will have some sense of regret and learn from it.. but thats unlikely. I just want to be healthy and normal and not feel sick all the time. at this point i just dont know what to do. im 32, i have kids and a home and Im an RN, and going to school. I am scared for my health. I dont have health insurance at the moment for myself.
You're beautiful and you don't look sick. I'm sorry your appearance convinced those idiots to ignore you.
Those son of a guns!!😡😡 I hate when they try to pull the whole psychosomatic female bullcrap. I’m so sorry that happened to you. ❤
What does rectal bleeding and constipation have to do with grief...such ignorant statements 😮. As a provider, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry.
If u need a colonoscopy, and have symptoms that don’t go away, call your local hospital, get a doctor’s order for a scope (and get to a gastro doc), and the hospital billing department will work with u on the biking/costs. Also, call the ACS for help with financial and questions. Great nurses there will guide u…
I hope she recovered after this
I’ve been waiting for 13 months to see a specialist for the issues I am having with bowels. My doctor admits he has no idea what is causing my symptoms so I’ve been worried sick for a year while waiting to see someone to find out what’s going on and all while my symptoms are getting worse. I’m sorry that you had to wait also.
just find a doctor that will give you a CT scan or a Colonoscopy stop listening to the doctor and find someone that will get you some answers.
@@covfefe1787 he’s done a mri a gastro specialist finally got my app with them had the mri last week now waiting on results they said a colonoscopy be next if this doesn’t show anything
Just because you're under 50 doesn't mean you're not at risk for colon cancer. Doctors keep forgetting the outliers who aren't 50+.
Where is the rest of the story?
yes 🙏🙏🙏
Friends, please get in there and get a colonoscopy as soon as you are old enough for your health insurance to cover it, if not sooner. The procedure is really not a big deal.
I believe many health plans will actually pay for the whole screening, with no copay. It is just that important to them, and I am sure that their actuaries have calculated the risk of having to pay for cancer treatments vs colonoscopies.
I know how you feel i had blood for month and I went to urgent care and they said familiar situation
It would be really nice, when doctors stop saying, “I think it is …”, and do a proper examination and testing from the beginning.
My 86 yrs old mother 🧑 s going thru chemo and twice treatment had to be delayed due to low platelets. Any advice for us please? How to boost it quickly?
Hi I just started a clinical trial for oral medication to raise platelets. I'm at mass general in boston but there are 5 other hospitals that are open. They are enrolling 10 patients per hospital. Also, pineapple can increase platelets.
I think cancer tumors cause anxiety, they do something to your hormones. It did for me
Mood cannot cause that much damage. I knew someone whose father had died. At the funeral, she told one of his friends, a dentist, about it. She went and saw him, got an xray, was told it was nothing, just depression. A second dentist said same (fresh xrays), and dismissed her. Both dentists gave her pain medication since she was in EXTREME pain. Months later, (still in pain) one of her customers, a nurse (my friend was a hairdresser), saw how swollen her face and neck were. SHe demanded the woman see her doctor. He sent her to a dentist IMMEDIATELY. She brought her xrays, and the guy shook his head and said "this guy couldn't see this"!! Abscessed tooth. WHich can be FATAL. And supposedly nearly was in her case. Dentist couldn't even do anything till she was on heavy antibiotics for a few days. BTW, this girl had a toothpaste commercial smile. PERFECT teeth. Except for that one.
I'm 70 y.o. If I go to the MD for an ingrown toenail, they'd want to give me a colonoscopy. Why the hell don't they do it for people of ANY age with multiple, continuous symptoms!!! It's disgraceful. Seems like they just don't want to do their jobs!!
There's always the 10-15% of young people who are liable to have it. However nobody is "too young" for a colonoscopy especially with those severe symptoms.
I have zero blood but the last month or so I have extreme pain (childbirth level) right before I poop (if it's large). It's almost when the poop drops to the Anus that I feel the TREMENDOUS pain. I'm too scared to go to the Dr and I live in Canada where I have to wait ages to see a specialist
Please get a colonoscopy. My friend from Canada says they're free. Don't waste time and best wishes❤
Or ask for a CT scan with contrast. Recently done and it may be a retroverted uterus causing problems similar to yours.
🙏 🙏 🙏
He didnt even apoligise to her 😢, i would sue the bloody lot of them!
the NHS screening system should be changed
I had the same symptoms as you. Thought I was lactose intolerant or had a food allergy. I had the blood in stools thought it was hemorrhoids. Had the bad stomach aches.
I also kept being sick after eating quite often. Had a camera down my throat. Then had the one up the bottom but chucked up the bowel prep so they couldnt see much. Changed bowel prep chucked that up again they couldn't see anything.
Was working away in December couldn't go to the toilet and had horrific stomach cramps.
Got back on the Friday and called an ambulance on the Sunday.
Turns out I had a tumour completely blocking my sigmoid colon. Had a stoma done on the 6th Dec and liver biopsy a week or so later. Had metastasis on my liver one on each segment.
My cea level in Jan was 799. Im on flouracil 5fu,Panitumumab and Irinotecan. Ive had 22 lota of chemo and touch wood my CT results have been really good. It is stage 4 and theres no cure but hoping they can get a few more years out of me. My cea level is now 4. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
Hey, keep strong.. myself Stage 4 too..
@@rinijacob2126 You too try not to look at the survival percentage they are from years ago and colon cancer was usually found in the over 60s.x
I am so sorry

With insurance they jump at the chance to give every test under the sun.
So many doctors, most of them that I have seen, outside of a few good ones, have been dismissive, arrogant, contemptuous, authoritarian, and impatient. If people want to go into healthcare, they need to do it for the right reasons. They need to have the right personality and temperament that would foster a patient, curious, compassionate, attentive physician-all healthcare workers. I feel afraid to even type this because they can get nasty when criticized; it is like heresy to complain about that field. There are many good people, but there is just too much of the mean-spirited 'higher than thou' attitude. I'm sure there are root causes like being overworked, underpaid, too much debt from medical school, etc., but the whole healthcare system and the patient-to-doctor relationship need a lot of improvement. The doctor shouldn't be a petty tyrant, and I've met many like that.
Please read. Will be fine.
My father was a strong man and after he had surgery for colon-rectal cancer, he died after a lot of suffering in about three months.
The doctor thought I had the same cancer and wanted to operate on me. As I had already studied a lot about cancer, I refused the operation. The doctor told me that I will be back in six months. But 14 years of a very active life have passed.
If you want to beat the cancer:
1. Chemotherapy means that you destroy not only your cancer cells, but also many healthy cells, which you need. A very bad thing is that it may destroy your immune system, the one that tells the body when you have cancer and that knows how to fight cancer.
2. Radiotherapy is well known to cause cancer. The underlying idea is that cancer cells will die. it's true, it destroys them. But it can also turn healthy cells into new cancer cells. There is some hope if you follow radiation therapy with doses of radiation very precise targeted at the cancer.
3. Surgery is a solution, but it often spreads the cancer to other parts and thus creates new cancers.
What can you do:
1. Prayer to God. Yes, God really exists. And He asks us to love Him, people and do good deeds.
2. To search very persistently for our sins and mistakes. Don't look for excuses, they only have value if God considers that you deserve to be forgiven. Don’t hide yourself behind excuses like “I didn’t anything to do” or “Others did too”. I searched for my sins and mistakes for several months.
3. Stop eating meat and sweets. It is easier that you think!
4. Daily, up to half a liter of beetroot juice.
5. Seeds of all kinds.
6. Cancer is not a tragedy. Fight calmly. Moderate action.
7. It would be very good if you have the strength to follow the treatment of Rudolf Breuss. Sure you can.
Help her, please God, to be healthy!
And that is helpful how? What an idiotic comment
Did you have excessive gas?
That might be sibo
@@xobitouchuwiva5391 sibo?
I would never think of going to Urgent Care for something like this. Gastroenterologist is the one to go to the minute you see blood.
She didn't have health insurance.....
For gods sake, what is the cost of a colonoscopy to prevent this? They prefer to keep gaslighting patients than liste, and I mean listen to them.
Healing is IN the atonement.
Jesus Christ is the saviour of the world, who died for your sins. By His wounds you are healed.
The Greek word for salvation is "sozo" and it means to be delivered from sin AND sickness.
Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.. and receive COMPLETE HEALING as a free gift by the grace of God.
Only believe.
Should be fired immediately

is this real ?
I have said this before- but I truly feel that colon cancer is NOT silent at all! Our bodies are warning us up to that point in stages when people eat plant based foods, processed or whole (raw or cooked) - doesn’t matter which type you digest- does the same to your colon! These are stages that our colon warns us that we are damaging it before we hit colon cancer:
Stage 1: IBS symptoms- (Cramping, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, extended bellies!)
Stage 2 if you ignore stage one: Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, crones, celiac, ulcers, polyps, leaky gut, lactose, and so on.
Stage 3: colon cancer!
We need to be listening to our bodies! Doctors say it’s normal to have IBS- but NO it is not! It’s not normal at all- it is a warning that if we ignore, our guts will get damaged over time! There is no silence with colon cancer- your body has done so much to warn you but you just didn’t listen! Remove plants from your diet and go the human ancestral way of eating- the carnivore lifestyle! It is not a fad- it’s is the human way of eating!
I agree with you 1000000000%, I have sysmtoms stage 1 and blood test high Ferritin 290 ug/L. I'm going straight to Keto until further test are done.
@@Wannabe1979 more need to understand this! And everyone should watch Dr. Thomas Seyfried on cancer being a metabolic disease!
@@Wannabe1979 i strongly feel anyone with any symptoms of these things I listed go low carb then transition to carnivore- more lion version! You have to start cancer from plant sugars! Plant diets damage mitochondria and if damaged cancer cells don’t get removed by mitochondria!
I'm so sorry that you had what I wish were a rare bad experience, but I suspect is more the norm than the exception, at least in the USA. I read somewhere that the average number of visits for diagnosis of serious disease is 7. Seven visits before you are taken seriously. You should thank Insurance companies for brief doctor visits without thorough examinations and reluctance to pay for appropriate tests without pulling teeth. I'm going to guess that your Urgent Care doctor may not have even been a doctor, possibly a Physician Assistant?
I wish doctors wouldn't gaslight patients. We ha e lynch syndrome in our family. Causes cancer at early ages. My mom passed at 41 from it. 1 in 279 people has this genetic defect and has no clue. Get genetic testing done, people.
I'm so disappointed in the health care system, the doctors are better at giving opinionated diagnosis rather than going through the proper channels to diagnose and treat patients. I have been complaining of foot pain for 7 months every single visit I get a shot, and sent home. Than they started me on all of these antibiotics, and different type of orthopedic shoes etc I ask for MRI to start with ..... well long story short it is cancer. How could they not listen to patients we know our body , we know when things don't look or feel right. I'm sad and angry at the same time. To anybody reading this if you're not feeling well, don't stop ... push and push for more testing, don't stop advocating for yourself.
What i want to know is what these people are eating, but that never gets talked about.
That's what makes me mad at the whole doctor system. And the guy is oh your a healthy girl it's ridiculous sigh. Now days you have to be like the pirates in the past you lose and eye you out a pstch over it you lose and arm and you tie a hook to your aarn patch up the blood and keep moving that's how we are with sickness now where not stopping or taking csrr of them ee have to nowadays wait till they happen.

Doctors, the same people who helped create the opiod epidemic
This channel is doing a great job at creating hypochondriacs! Well done. Keep up the good job, guys. We need people flooding Dr's offices with paranoia :).
This is pointing out patients are medically gaslighted dismissed all the time. Women are dismissed more than men. Number third cause of death is misdiagnosed and number one heart attack 2 cancer. How many people who have cancer were dismissed? A lot! Patients are not hypochondriacs. With access to the internet patients can research their symptoms more than physicians. Physicians have no time to take care of their patients. In Canada our health care is dire. Cancer patients no longer are being treated due to lack of Oncologists and surgeons. They are giving people information for MAID. Now they are including people who are depressed. There are stories of patients with a physical disability offered MAID. People are fed up and you have to do your own diligence, advocate and be persistent.
Cancer is increased substantially due to chemical exposure in air, food and water. Processed foods and water that has cancer causing chemicals.
Everyone deserves to be taken seriously until rule out testing is complete
She wasn’t being a hypochondriac though. She had colon cancer left untreated for almost a year.
