Grew up in the american medical system due to bad chronic illness. I was also raised by a career RN. Most nurses I encountered were nasty people. I spent 2 years working at a hospital - the shit your 'caregivers' say about you when you cant hear is abhorrent. I got to hear names, dates, and deacriptions of most patients they had. My mother did this too at the dinner table. Nursing is a profession where your entire job is to lord over people who are at the lowest point in their and are stuck in conditions where they cant fight back. This attracts a certain mentality - like being a prison guard.
How close does she need to be looking to have noticed that, I still can't see it. Better call your husband, sounds like someone has an inappropriate interest in your mouth.
First, even after seeing their comment I'm still not seeing the tooth?? Not saying it's not there, it's just super NOT noticeable. They must just be able to spot it because they work in healthcare and want to feel superior and make themself look "smart" by pretending like it's super obvious. (My dental health is also crap for a variety of reasons, so totally relate to being self conscious of people noticing.) Second, people go to the hospital for the flu?! And not just elderly or immunocompromised folks? I had literally no idea 😅
Many common illnesses are a lot more dangerous and potentially severe than you'd think, even for people who seem healthy to start with. Kids also sometimes go blind or lose their lives from chicken pox. People can end up with permanent digestive system damage from a bad stomach virus or food poisoning. The flu alone, with no other complications, can cause lasting damage to the lungs and to someone's immune system. It's dangerous out there. Our bodies do their best, but it's not always enough.
@@jasminecollins897 totally fair. I learned *after* I had noro that I probably should have gone to the hospital for it. It didn't even occur to me at the time - plus I didn't have health insurance so I probably wouldn't have even if I had thought of it. It definitely caused some lasting damage, though (although I'm also not entirely sure what the hospital would have prevented since part of the damage is just the virus attaching to and mutating things in your body)
@@jasminecollins897 yeah, we don't know we should go to the hospital or doctor for things because a whole hell of a lot of us can't afford it. I imagine in places with universal care, they see the doctor for all kinds of things that us Amuricans just try and walk off.
Its ironic how people claim God as part of their lives yet will act like backbiting, gossiping, trash slinging devils. God don't like hypocrites, or ugly
@@sharkbelly1169 Exactly. It should be evident in how you live, speak, and just are. No one is perfect, and there will be things you wish you didn't say (like me calling fosca50 a bi!ch 😏), but overall, most of what you are should reflect Christ without having to _say_ it.
@@sonicpsycho13 no. Whoever is using their faith as an excuse to hate others, whoever calls themselves Christian and does things like this is not following Christ's teachings. I am not trying to put you down or invalidate your experiences. But Christ does not teach this.
Omg fuck "trauma dumping" this is lore shade and I'm here for it. Drag them. May the petty be with you. (Though this was warranted and thus perhaps no petty, petty is more like a energy field that surrounds us, connects us, makes us strong, filled with unlimited power😂 ... K that's enough star wars jokes)
100% (if you can handle it) brutally honest answers can be a great way to knock back judgmental assholes. The “best” one I’ve heard was from my sister. She wound up losing a bunch of weight and a snarky acquaintance made some comment like, “I don’t know why [my sister] didn’t try it sooner, but this diet you’re is on is really melting the fat away. What are you doing?” And my sister replied, “my dad committed su*cide and I found out my husband was cheating on me with sex workers in the same week. I haven’t been able to eat since March. But if you want to try it, I’ve got a shotgun and an OnlyFans account you can have. Barely used.” She’s my hero. I’m terrified of her and will never cross her, but she is my hero.
The golden rule of commenting on someone's appearance is simple : "Don't. Unless you have explicit permission to." For example, you have a friend who told you they were going to the gym to lose weight and gain muscle mass, then, commenting on how they look slimmer is positive because you know that it's the goal. But otherwise, you don't know if that would be triggering someone who previously had an ED (or still is dealing with it). And that's really fucking easy.
I also like to use the 10 second rule. If it's something they CANNOT fix in 10 seconds or less, don't say it. Decayed tooth? STFU Something stuck between their teeth? Yeah, but say it quietly and politely. Stretch marks? Burns? Scars? SHHHH!! You got a lil food stain? Yeah sure Cause if they cannot fix it in 10 seconds, they surely know about it and probably cannot fix it yet.
Also if you do it don't be a extremely sensitive baby that if the person your bullying for their looks does the same. Also if your for a example an overweight heavy person with terrible fashion skill, I recommend not doing that as you are a massive easy target yourself for just don't open that door.
@MichaelHolland-r7h The first part, I agree with, but the second part is so uncalled for... ^^' Like, fat people are people. The fact that you see them as easier target says more about you than it says about them. If they are bullying someone, that doesn't make you right to turn it back on them on something they cannot change within 10 seconds. Them being bullies doesn't give you the right to be bigoted as a response. You can fight back, absolutely, but that's just low if you attack them on their weight. And fashion is so fucking personal, who fucking cares if you think it's ugly?! They weren't dressing up for your pleasure anyway, so wtf?! Also, nobody mentionned fat people so before you try to wiggle yourself out of this, just realize that YOU'RE the one who brought it up. Nothing in this conversation was about that, so that shows a problem that YOU have. Work on it.
Not only EDs. I was reading an AMA about a child SA trafficking victim. She said people always comment negatively about how bad her teeth are. But she has issues brushing her teeth because they bring back her trauma of constantly being assaulted orally. Plus, there's illnesses that cause tooth decay, depression, add/adhd.... Heck, some people just have bad teeth gentically (like me and parents). And it also goes for weight, height, their hair, their clothes, the list goes on. Stop judging people, especially when you have zero idea what happened to them for them to be that way.
Just a general statement to everyone struggling with oral hygiene out there. Please don't be embarrassed, your health is the most important thing. If you can afford to go to the dentist please do so, bad oral hygiene can literally kill you.
Good PSA 👍 My poor grandmother just hates the dentist, wouldn't go, her tooth got infected and she didn't know, but she was breathing that in for long enough it became pneumonia 😞 she's doing better but that's how I learned that bad oral hygiene can kill you.
You’re so lucky to have dental insurance. I lost the majority of my teeth due to neglect and kidney disease and now I have to pay thousands to replace them…. Which I don’t have…. Yeah…
If you're 100% P&T, don't forget your spouse has access to DEA/Ch. 35 education benefits to help pay for college (assuming he'd like to go to/back to college for some further classes). This will also apply to any children you may have, biological, step, or adopted. They also have access to health insurance called CHAMPVA. And a few other benefits that are gated behind being 100% P&T. You should also check on the state level to see what you might qualify for as well for being 100%, as each state can offer different perks as well. Yes I work in a state VA office to help vets file for their benefits. So don't let the tangential benefits you have access to slip by. Too many vets do.
@@AngeloJoeselberg Have you applied for Individual Unemployability (IU)? It's a classification of disability that will RATE you at 100%, even though medically you are only 80%. You need to have a combined rating of at least 70%, AND one of your conditions has to be individually rated at 40% or higher. If your disability cocktail works out to match that, then you could file to be rated 100% due to being unable to work specifically because of your disabilities. If they rate you 100% P&T (Permanent and Total) as a result of the IU claim (which does happen a lot), then you would be entitled to EVERY benefit that comes with being 100% P&T. There is ZERO difference, benefits wise, between medically being 100% P&T, and 100% P&T due to IU. Talk to your local VSO or whoever helped you file your claim previously. Talk to your doctor and see if they will provide a letter saying they don't think you can work, specifically BECAUSE of your service disabilities. That's an important detail.
I didn't go for 5 years. Finally went when I had intense tooth pain - a massive cavity in my molar. Take care of your teeth. You only get 1 set as an adult. If you have a job that offers dental insurance, there's no reason to not see a dentist regularly.
I have several friends in the southern most states going to Mexico. There is a town on the border that you can even just walk to if you wanted. Retirees have been going for years. Broke people are just now finding out about the town. JUST THIS TOWN - I do not know about any other areas.
@@sonicpsycho13Even when you have insurance through work, it can still be prohibitively expensive. I have GOOD dental insurance for my area, but a root canal was still almost $1000 out of pocket.
@@lic.5085 I'm talking about routine, semi-annual cleanings. Every dental insurance I've had 100% covers 2 cleanings per year. You don't see a dentist on a regular basis for root canals.
The first time I went I was 13. Then I was able to get seen at 20 because of state Healthcare. I haven't been since. I have babies that need it more then I do.
That was my sister! Luckily she has really good dental hygiene / genes because she was okay after not going for 11 years! Meanwhile I go every 6 months and have two crowns and 3 cavities in the past 11 years 🙄😅
One of the biggest issues today is that people are no longer afraid of getting punched in the face when they run their mouth in public. This has been augmented by being able to be nasty online with relative anonymity. Unless you're a boomer who puts personal info online while having the audacity to be nasty. Also- Jesus loves you. I don't make a habit of saying that online to strangers unprompted but I feel the need to since some people who call themselves Christians don't want to act like Christ.
This. This right here. I've noticed that alot of nurses lately are the meanest and are doing it to virtue signal and to seem "special" and are not very smart. The majority I know BARELY made it to even be a nurse. Alot can't even SPELL basic words and are super ignorant. Then act like you should kneel at their presence because nurse and automatically deserve the utmost respect and want their asses kissed. I know not ALL nurses are like this but I haven't had alot of good experiences with them and lord forbid you ask them a basic question they don't know...🤦🏽♀
Side note, I have an aunt that is a nurse and she has said some MIND BLOWING ableist/just uninformed shit (the last I can recall being that we didnt need to get paxlovid when we cuaght covid) so yeah the audacity on some medical professionals. And woof, way to read this person for filth. I don't know what to say concerning all you've been through that doesn't sound faintly condescending, I just hope you continue to work toward being in a good place.
Yeah, I work in healthcare, and after Covid I no longer assume health professionals are either sane or knowledgeable until they prove themselves to be. I still respect the amount of time and work that goes into those professions, but damn...
Girl you look gorgeous no matter what, you’re an absolute queen and your content is amazing and always makes me smile. You deserve to be happy and confident, and I hope you don’t let peoples rude comments get you down.
This feels like i stumbled upon the subreddit r/traumatizethemback or something like that (i'm not even on Reddit but i follow people who make video reaction of some posts on Reddit). Like "you want to be mean about my phisical appearance, then get all of the story behind it". And i'm so here for it. But, jokes aside, Nique you are a beatiful person, don't let these petty as*holes get to you ❤️
For too many followers of Jesus, shaming is a sport. If called out they proclaim “I’m not perfect, I’m just forgiven.” So they can sleep tight & wake up the next day to judge & shame others all over again, rinse, repeat, amen.
Well, you do realize that Caiphas was a "preacher." Jesus wasn't after the Romans and their ruling politics. Jesus was after the religious leaders, concerning their attitude, behavior, and rationalizations. If you were to interview Caiphas, he would tell you that crucifying Jesus was not only necessary and correct, but that God would have approved of Jesus' death, as well as the deaths of all those who followed him. So, being mean in the name of the Lord is just practice. Killing in the name of the Lord, now THAT is the ultimate goal.
Im going to be 100% honest i had no clue what you were talking about, I never saw anything wrong with your teeth, they look perfectly fine to me. That being said, isnt it just basic manners to not comment on people's appearance, unless its a genuine compliment. But since Fosca50 claims to be a person of God I would like to point out that the Bible says to not worry about the splinter in someone else's eye and worry about the plank in your own eye. 👀
Fosca50 is out here doin the lords work ya'll woo!!! As a girly from the deep deep south we got a lil 'friendly' sayin hun. Bless your heart Hun, I know the good lord you worship did not guide you to act so ugly to others. on to an actual response that isn't drippin with sarcasm, Nicque I have followed you for a long long time. Do not let these petty people who have nothin better on their hands bring you down. We adore you. You are a star that shines helpin others see durin their own dark moments with your humor and content. I pray to the universe that you are always blessed.
Yeah. My teeth are my biggest insecurity. Growing up poor AF. No dental care, poor nutrition. Depressive that makes life so shitty all hygiene goes out the window. I know teeth are crooked and have a lot of cavities
I need to get fake teeth and I’m 13 so it’s not only you I have to get them cuz someone pushed me to the ground and stomped on my face so now there broken
The decaying what? Eh, I guess some people don't look at people holistically. Or get really jealous of pretty people on their phones so they have to look at the tiniest flaw.
I also grew up in poverty; mom loved us & did her best but she was messed up from her own abusive childhood, dad didn't pay a dime in child support. Many times we had nothing to eat but bread or oats. We were homeless on and off, but we hid it. I remember being ashamed. How f'd iup is our society that a literal CHILD should feel ashamed of being homeless -- when it was the parents and society around them that were supposed to take care of them? There is no shame in struggling and doing your best to survive in an unequal society. What's shameful is to have such a crashing lack of empathy and self-awareness that you try to pull other people down. What's shameful is the people who let this happen to others, do nothing to help, and then judge them. Sidenote, I can't even see the tooth so no wonder nobody but her wanted to talk about it. I have 2 impacted wisdom teeth I need out (thankfully the NHS will cover it) but I am also scared about the surgery!
I’ll pray for you. Stock up on ice cream, and keep the spaces as clean as you can after the teeth are removed. I ate a lot of ice cream, mashed potatoes, and protein shake thingies after I had my wisdom teeth taken out.
Lol, the epitome of "don't ask a question if you're not ready for the answer." 😂 Also, I've been fortunate enough to have mostly steady dental care and still find it terrifying, so big props for taking care of yourself now. And I, for whatever it's worth, didn't notice the tooth thing at all.
If you have an incredibly high fever of 102-103 or higher, it's hospital time. That kind of fever can cause brain damage and even organ failure in some people.
The amount of people who just say the MEANEST stuff online with seemingly no remorse and it’s horrific to me that we’re existing on the same planet as these people. I was watching a UA-cam video and someone commented “That sweater is bad and you should feel bad” on their video. I think some people just dehumanize people online and take the anonymity to say whatever they want.
I had a cracked and decaying molar for a few years, because I had NO MONEY, it was that bad, and I was working full-time. Then I finally was able to go to university in my late 20s/early 30s, and healthcare was required fir students so it was included in the tuition, I luckily had grants that payed my tuition so I basically got my healthcare for free, my last year of uni there was an oral surgeon in the town where the uni was that was doing a special for undergrads of having your wisdom teeth taken out for a total of a hundred bucks outside of our dental premium, I still had enough on my dental insurance so I qualified, did I mention the decaying tooth was a wisdom tooth too?, lol, gah. The surgeon asked if I wanted local anesthetic or full anesthetic, and only local anesthetic was included in the price so I did that, the surgeon I could tell felt really bad about my situation or maybe he was just weirded out, don't know. I was awake while he had to shatter the decaying tooth to take it out, and could feel almost everything when the other 3 teeth were pulled. A few years after this happened I moved to South Korea for a job and met my husband there, he grew up in France, and when I told him my stories of being sick without insurance and no medicine (about 2 years before we met I was out of work for a year and caught strep throat, no money for a doctor or antibiotics, had to stay in bed for 2 weeks, it was horrible), and how actually normal it is in the US, he was horrified, it's one of the reasons we settled down in France and not the States 😂😢
Oomph, replacing silver fillings is actually pretty dangerous, it's why most dentists don't use amalgam for fillings anymore, it's dangerous to remove them because you can get poisoned if you ingest of of the particles. They are fine putting the silver in and it's fine when the metal is hard in the mouth, but removing those kinds of fillings exposes you to ingesting particles, which could poison you. I had a dentist fill in half of one of my teeth on the cheap when I was a kid, as a favor to my dad, it probably should be replaced, but every dentist I've seen since then, in the States, on Korea, in France, will not touch it, nope, lol, they have all said it's dangerous to remove, it's expensive to remove it safely, and insurance doesn't usually cover removing it (even national insurance), they would sooner remove the whole tooth before removing a silver filling, lol. So I'm a bit surprised you're able to get yours replaced.
Just going to point out as well that genetics make up a HUGE part of how our teeth hold up over time. You could have flawless dental hygiene and a great diet and still have a mouthful of issues. The obsession with tooth appearance in the US is staggeringly classist.
i hope you're getting all the views and ad revenue from people retraumatizing you. like the best case scenario would be that they STOP, but it's the internet and some people don't know how to act. especially nurses with jesus stuff in their bio.
Dental care is just as much of a human right as healthcare, and the fact that money keeps a lot of people from accessing necessary healthcare is such a failing in society. Universal health and dental care should be standard
I think it’s just that if it’s bad enough there’s a risk you can go downhill pretty fast?? I knew it could get bad but tbh I didn’t realise 2 weeks of a bad flu was time to get help, probably should’ve realised when it happened to me though because I felt TERRIBLE lol. If you google it there’s info about when it’s bad enough to go to hospital!
Wait, what? WHAT decayed tooth? I really do not see why anyone would comment, and like, at most, I’d ask if you’re okay - in the “that spot on your face looks concerning, did you get hit, are you okay?” Way… except also, we don’t know her like that, so… maybe that’s not our place?!?!? Edit: on a note of “thoughts and prayers - if it helps, I’ve had to have a lot of dental work, too, and unless your dentist is, like, just a butcher, it’s usually painless and easy for you to recover. If it’s going to be surgery, in all likelihood, it will just be like you fell asleep and then wake up with a new tooth (since it’s easier for the dentist that way) and as far as the procedure goes, it’s one of the least invasive ones, and quickest recovery time. Fingers crossed for you, you got this!
Fun Fact and my sad story lol.... I'm a Veteran who had ALL his teeth ground down to nubs for Crowns! The Dentist ground ALL my front teeth Too Short. Then during service the teeth snapped off and broke and all root canales! They temp fixed it till I was released and never actually fixed them. So as a civilian with no job cuz I'm a disabled veteran I have a mouth full of broken rotting front teeth too expensive for me to pay for and fix. The military doesn't care if they fix u up and later on you need maintenance of anything, thats our problem. It's sad! Don't talk trash about peoples appearance most of the time it's beyond our control!
U a real one Nicque. This for all the kids tht went thru neglect tryna take care of ourselves now🩵🩵 in reading this weirdo for filth u had an absolute word for what u can go thru as a kid & how that can affect u forever. Some ppl don’t understand cuz they never had to. Lucky them
I know they meant to shame you and you did a fantastic job putting them in their place, but I also wanna say thank you for talking about this. I lost dental insurance at 26, which means I have not been able to afford dental visits until recently and I've been dreading going to the dentist bc I'm know there's gonna be so much work to get done. You reminded me that that's okay and I don't have anything to be ashamed of. I really appreciate that and I'm sorry they were shitty about it. I hope that surgery goes well 💜
Tooth removal with bone grafts suck in the short term but recovery is quicker than you think! My husband had to have one this year and it was less invasive than you would imagine. There were a couple of stitches involved but they were able to do it under local anesthetic. The worst part was really the soft food diet he had to adhere to. You got this, Nicque! If my husband can do it, so can you!
What kind of frame by frame, enhance, enhance, enhance bs did Fosca50 need to do to even see that?! The only thing I can see is that Fosca50 really needs to go touch grass or something.
Oh man.....fosca50 triggered a flashback and became the villain of the story. Isn't weird of someone who proclaims to be jesus loving can end up being judgmental street urchins
I literally love this woman so much (Nicque, not nurse-what’s-her-face), you are so frigging real for all this. I wish you the best with your surgery, you inspire me to be less quiet and have the courage to stand up and be me, so thank you. Keep shining like the star you are, mwah!
I just have to say, maybe this Fosca50 has much better eyesight than I do, but for the first time, instead of watching your eyes and facial expressions, like a normal person does, I was looking at your teeth a lot. And I didn't see a damned thing that looked like it was anything other than a normal set of teeth. Fosca50 needs to find something better to do than to insult people online to feel better about themselves.
I am fully on the side of naming and shaming. Dgaf what fosca50 been thru to get be such a hateful shrew. You, my dear, are one of the most beautiful people I follow inside and out. I watch your stories and find strength I don’t personally have right now. I appreciate your openness and clarity of thought to fight your way thru all the bs you’ve been thru. I don’t feel like I can keep fighting for myself these days but I’ll be damned if I see someone I care about get dragged like that. I don’t even care if it’s weird I care about some folks I follow. I’ll be that weirdo. You’re worth it and worth keeping around in the world. She isn’t worth it and knows it. I feel safe saying I’m not the only person you reach here goin thru stuff and finding strength in you, so thank you. I’m sorry some degenerate needs to try to bring you down to feel lifted up. I’m sure her life is karma itself at this point. Fuck em.
This is why people need to keep their opinions on other people's looks to themselves. You never know what someone's going through. We are way too obsessed with appearance in this society.
"Nobody is talking about the decayed tooth"...Really? How about how the US largely treats teeth as "luxury bones" unless you're paying for a plan that covers caps, bridges, or even partial to complete replacement plates? Yeah, I'd LOVE to have that conversation. Because as I see it, even if we're just narrowing the focus to VA dental care, it WILDLY deviates from state to state for what is or isn't covered. Oh, but you're probably not even interested in a serious conversation on the topic, huh? No, you just want to play picador for clout points. Ooh yeah, you really got 'em, how amazing, that's your five minutes of net fame. Congrats. We'll bring over your sippy cup of apple juice very soon.
I had the same issues with dental work. I'm in the process of getting the first of several implants, shelling out hundreds of dollars a month until I finish paying for this one and start the whole process again. Bodies are unique so I don't know if what I experienced will be what you experienced, but it honestly wasn't nearly as bad as I was making it in my mind. And you're talking to a girl that has to take a Valium to avoid hyperventilating when it's time to get the Novocaine. That said, here's hoping for a speedy recovery as free from aches as possible.
I feel you on this I grew up with no health insurance until I was 18. When I was 31 I got viral encephalitis for the second time in my life. However it was misdiagnosed for a year. I shouldn't have lived through it. To save my life I had to be on a medicine that kill the enamel on my teeth, they grew brittle and broke, I had to have all my teeth pulled at 36. I had dentures made that didn't fit me from day ONE! For the last 4 years I have been trying to get a new set made but due to bone loss in my mouth implants are my best bet. However they are very expensive and I am disabled, living on pennies a month. I HATE leaving my home because I don't have any teeth it bothers me so much and makes me feel so terrible about myself. I have had comments accusing me of being a druggie because I have no teeth, had someone tell me they wouldn't dare show their face in public if they looked like me and so I don't. Going out for me is very hard due to my brain injury and other medical issues and having people judge me for no teeth makes it 10 times as worse!
Wow, dental procedures are just the best, aren't they, Nikki? I mean, who doesn't love the thrill of going into debt for a bone graft? I got one too, and let me tell you, it's a real blast. They knock you out and use your own blood to fill the gap. Super fun. But hey, the real excitement comes when you get the bill and find out your insurance only covers the extraction, not the actual grafting. Because, you know, that's exactly what you want to wake up to after surgery - a hefty price tag. Despite all this, I'm sending you love and anesthesia-filled dreams, Nikki. You got this! Dental woes are the worst, but you're stronger. I had an implant and two wisdom teeth extractions (top ones), and I'm still standing. Well, technically, I'm still paying off the medical bills. You're not alone in this. We can commiserate about our shared dental trauma and plan our future dental adventures - like getting those bottom wisdom teeth removed... eventually. Hang in there, Nikki!
It’s so sad to see someone comment on your appearance online for them only to find out that there is a valid reason behind whatever they’re criticizing. It’s like, whoops! I didn’t know you’re an actual person with a personal history and feelings! My bad! 😒
I relate to this SO MUCH. Mine was because my dad took off and my mother suffered addiction, but the result was the same. I'm from the Pacific Northwest and when we had nowhere to go, we went "camping." I spent probably 3/4 of my childhood in a tent.
Yep. That's one of my main motivations for graduating college, if I'm being honest. I've never had good dental care (also due to being poor and having a financially abusive father), and I have crooked teeth and discoloration on them as a result. I know they look bad, and it's embarrassing, and I want to get them fixed. But I also know that "good" teeth have been a status symbol in the United States for a long time and "bad" teeth are a common sign of poverty. Because of this, it's actually EXTREMELY classist to point out someone's bad teeth, because it is likely a result of poverty. (Maybe I have some internalized classism to work through, too, idk, but I have always hated my teeth, and it's probably one of the first things I'll take care of when I'm able)
Man, these commenters are so bloody rude. And you'd figured for a nurse she'd know better, yet some people really suck at their job and have no bedside manners... Or common sense
I also went through a long period of time without proper insurance and medical/dental care, and I joke that my inheritance from my parents happened at birth when they gave me genetic mutations that led to a bunch of genetic conditions I deal with now. People have no idea what others are going through. One day I hope to get new dentures that fit better bc my top front teeth are gone and I'm really self conscious about it.
Thankful that the algorithm deities led me to your video. Thank you for sharing your story! The online disinhibition effect brings out the asshole in far too many people, but I’m glad you responded!!!
I have zero teeth now. I'm 47.i lost them back in 2012 because of a LOT of fuck ups by various medical people and the fact that Medicare didn't cover dental, and while medicaid _did,_ the only place that would take it was Ohio State dental collage... Here's the background - I had to basically have my hip replaced at 31. After the 3rd surgery, I got MRSA in the surgical wound. (At this point in time, I had exactly one cavity, filled, from a chipped tooth. I also had had my back 4 molars pushed out by my wisdom teeth, which were in turn removed. But other than that, perfect dental record) One of the many many antibiotics (or an antiviral, it was over a decade ago) pulled enamel from my teeth. So, off to the collage I went. For a YEAR, they'd treat a single tooth, then make an appointment for a month or more later. Until final they conceded I needed faster and better care than 4th year students. I was transferred to the graduate program (people who were already dentists, going for a specialization) And they took one look at my mouth and decided - I'm not joking, they TOLD me this more than once - they decided I was a Crack addict. _Nothing_ I did changed their minds - I offered drug tests, I offered to let them strand test me, I brought my medical records which showed it an antibiotic - it. Did. Not. Matter. They'd find ANY excuse to not work on me, and send me home with nothing done. I ended up back in the hospital for 3 weeks, and the HOSPITAL brought my then- dentist over to do some work, and my surgeon got in a screaming match with him about how I was being treated - nothing changed. They kept blowing me off, literally only doing emergency work when they had no choice, until my teeth were not salvageable. So I'm 47, and I've had dentures for 12 years. I've never done an illegal drug in my life (though I do think the "war in drugs" is idiotic and I don't care if people want to do drugs as long as they don't hurt anyone) I've never abused a prescription. But I was treated like I _had,_ and that _because_ I had, I deserved no help. Even when they got the full truth (my surgeon eventually visited with the person from infectious disease who had been in charge of my case) and the head of the dentistry clinic apologized - it didn't change how they treated me or that it was _too late_ (though I think them giving me dentures instead of just pulling my teeth and kicking me out was probably because of that visit) Even if I _had_ been a crash addict, I'm still a person! But the poor, minorities, and those with "issues" like addiction(mental health problems that are untreated, mostly) - the whole dentistry ECOSYSTEM seems to think we're undeserving... And my GODS is it expensive! And I don't know WHY
I just came from the dentist and was told I have to have my wisdom teeth extracted. It's terrifying. I also have GAD, Austism, PTSD, so I relate. Mine doesn't sound nearly as scary as yours, and I'm always impressed at how awesome you are! Don't let idiots with Jesus bios (and probably a lifetime of health insurance) get you down!
Literally can’t even see it. Spent the whole video trying to spot it just to see wtf this person was seeing and I can’t spot it. Even if I could, it’s nobody’s business.
As a healthcare provider, I am embarrassed that anyone in a profession where we are supposed to CARE could so casually insult a person's physical appearance. As a fan of yours, I am honestly stunned when people find negative things to say about you. Maybe this will teach them a lesson?
I can totally relate of not having dental insurance for a long time due to various reasons. I realized who my friends were and who were just fakers depending on how they treat me regarding my appearance. Shout out to the real ones!
Dental care also costs a massive amount of money with insurance. Oh, so does health care. Because we live in America. Which has the most expensive health care of all developed counties...
Some nurses are wonderful, strong, compassionate individuals and some are fosca50.
Sounds like she’s the Mean Girls type that makes nursing her whole personality 😬
You would be surprised how many school bullies end up in teaching and nursing (esp hospice and ob/gyn)
@@hsihdbssbcjtzksk7426But why, though?
In my experience most of them are fosca50
Grew up in the american medical system due to bad chronic illness. I was also raised by a career RN. Most nurses I encountered were nasty people. I spent 2 years working at a hospital - the shit your 'caregivers' say about you when you cant hear is abhorrent. I got to hear names, dates, and deacriptions of most patients they had. My mother did this too at the dinner table. Nursing is a profession where your entire job is to lord over people who are at the lowest point in their and are stuck in conditions where they cant fight back. This attracts a certain mentality - like being a prison guard.
I fear she ate Fosca50 up
Nom nom 💅🏾 **burrrrrAAAp!** 🐭S'cuse me!
How close does she need to be looking to have noticed that, I still can't see it. Better call your husband, sounds like someone has an inappropriate interest in your mouth.
Yeah I wonder too
I been watching her videos for years now and NEVER noticed it at all!😬
Like bro, literally!
Fosca50 must be scrutinizing each video with a magnifying glass, cause sheesh.
Same! I have no idea what that person was talking about. Maybe me eyesight is jus' tha bad these days...
Came here to say that
First, even after seeing their comment I'm still not seeing the tooth?? Not saying it's not there, it's just super NOT noticeable. They must just be able to spot it because they work in healthcare and want to feel superior and make themself look "smart" by pretending like it's super obvious. (My dental health is also crap for a variety of reasons, so totally relate to being self conscious of people noticing.)
Second, people go to the hospital for the flu?! And not just elderly or immunocompromised folks? I had literally no idea 😅
Many common illnesses are a lot more dangerous and potentially severe than you'd think, even for people who seem healthy to start with. Kids also sometimes go blind or lose their lives from chicken pox. People can end up with permanent digestive system damage from a bad stomach virus or food poisoning. The flu alone, with no other complications, can cause lasting damage to the lungs and to someone's immune system. It's dangerous out there. Our bodies do their best, but it's not always enough.
@@jasminecollins897 totally fair. I learned *after* I had noro that I probably should have gone to the hospital for it. It didn't even occur to me at the time - plus I didn't have health insurance so I probably wouldn't have even if I had thought of it. It definitely caused some lasting damage, though (although I'm also not entirely sure what the hospital would have prevented since part of the damage is just the virus attaching to and mutating things in your body)
@@jasminecollins897 yeah, we don't know we should go to the hospital or doctor for things because a whole hell of a lot of us can't afford it. I imagine in places with universal care, they see the doctor for all kinds of things that us Amuricans just try and walk off.
Its ironic how people claim God as part of their lives yet will act like backbiting, gossiping, trash slinging devils. God don't like hypocrites, or ugly
Real Christians don’t have to say they are
From experience, there's no hatred stronger than Christian love.
@@sharkbelly1169 Exactly. It should be evident in how you live, speak, and just are. No one is perfect, and there will be things you wish you didn't say (like me calling fosca50 a bi!ch 😏), but overall, most of what you are should reflect Christ without having to _say_ it.
They use the fact that their “Christian” as a shield
@@sonicpsycho13 no. Whoever is using their faith as an excuse to hate others, whoever calls themselves Christian and does things like this is not following Christ's teachings.
I am not trying to put you down or invalidate your experiences. But Christ does not teach this.
People like that disgust me honestly. Like just don’t comment at all.
Omg fuck "trauma dumping" this is lore shade and I'm here for it. Drag them. May the petty be with you. (Though this was warranted and thus perhaps no petty, petty is more like a energy field that surrounds us, connects us, makes us strong, filled with unlimited power😂 ... K that's enough star wars jokes)
100% (if you can handle it) brutally honest answers can be a great way to knock back judgmental assholes.
The “best” one I’ve heard was from my sister.
She wound up losing a bunch of weight and a snarky acquaintance made some comment like, “I don’t know why [my sister] didn’t try it sooner, but this diet you’re is on is really melting the fat away. What are you doing?”
And my sister replied, “my dad committed su*cide and I found out my husband was cheating on me with sex workers in the same week. I haven’t been able to eat since March. But if you want to try it, I’ve got a shotgun and an OnlyFans account you can have. Barely used.”
She’s my hero. I’m terrified of her and will never cross her, but she is my hero.
Yeah I don’t think I his would qualify as trauma dumping tbh haha lore shade absolutely
Is this a metaphorical tooth?? Like what are they talking about
Seriously!
This is the only logical explanation for me, aside from excessive time in the hands of the commenter 😂😂😂
Right! I was like is she watching her videos under a microscope or something , what is she talking about?
I was today years old when I found out people go to the hospital for the flu
I was just thinking something like that.
Word!😮
Right? I had no idea! I knew that people with compromised immune systems often do, but kids?
Same, I thought it was like a cold and you just stay in your room with soup and blankets.
As Nicque pointed out, the flu kills. Many go to the hospital if the symptoms are problematic enough.
Most people recover with time and rest though.
The golden rule of commenting on someone's appearance is simple : "Don't. Unless you have explicit permission to." For example, you have a friend who told you they were going to the gym to lose weight and gain muscle mass, then, commenting on how they look slimmer is positive because you know that it's the goal. But otherwise, you don't know if that would be triggering someone who previously had an ED (or still is dealing with it). And that's really fucking easy.
I also like to use the 10 second rule. If it's something they CANNOT fix in 10 seconds or less, don't say it.
Decayed tooth? STFU
Something stuck between their teeth? Yeah, but say it quietly and politely.
Stretch marks? Burns? Scars? SHHHH!!
You got a lil food stain? Yeah sure
Cause if they cannot fix it in 10 seconds, they surely know about it and probably cannot fix it yet.
@5Demona5 Yeah, that too! ^_^
Also if you do it don't be a extremely sensitive baby that if the person your bullying for their looks does the same.
Also if your for a example an overweight heavy person with terrible fashion skill, I recommend not doing that as you are a massive easy target yourself for just don't open that door.
@MichaelHolland-r7h The first part, I agree with, but the second part is so uncalled for... ^^' Like, fat people are people. The fact that you see them as easier target says more about you than it says about them. If they are bullying someone, that doesn't make you right to turn it back on them on something they cannot change within 10 seconds. Them being bullies doesn't give you the right to be bigoted as a response. You can fight back, absolutely, but that's just low if you attack them on their weight. And fashion is so fucking personal, who fucking cares if you think it's ugly?! They weren't dressing up for your pleasure anyway, so wtf?!
Also, nobody mentionned fat people so before you try to wiggle yourself out of this, just realize that YOU'RE the one who brought it up. Nothing in this conversation was about that, so that shows a problem that YOU have. Work on it.
Not only EDs.
I was reading an AMA about a child SA trafficking victim. She said people always comment negatively about how bad her teeth are. But she has issues brushing her teeth because they bring back her trauma of constantly being assaulted orally.
Plus, there's illnesses that cause tooth decay, depression, add/adhd.... Heck, some people just have bad teeth gentically (like me and parents).
And it also goes for weight, height, their hair, their clothes, the list goes on. Stop judging people, especially when you have zero idea what happened to them for them to be that way.
Just a general statement to everyone struggling with oral hygiene out there.
Please don't be embarrassed, your health is the most important thing. If you can afford to go to the dentist please do so, bad oral hygiene can literally kill you.
Good PSA 👍
My poor grandmother just hates the dentist, wouldn't go, her tooth got infected and she didn't know, but she was breathing that in for long enough it became pneumonia 😞 she's doing better but that's how I learned that bad oral hygiene can kill you.
Your edges still intact Fosca50? Take a page out of Tim Walz book and mind your own business.
Fosca50 got on a dollar store wig
@@kodyb5869**WHEEEEEEEEZE!!!** 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "This isn't a WiG!? I GoT this frum My Mommy- **👿SNATCH**.... 😐... 😞... " roflroflrofl
You’re so lucky to have dental insurance. I lost the majority of my teeth due to neglect and kidney disease and now I have to pay thousands to replace them…. Which I don’t have…. Yeah…
dentures are a pain but are handy as heck, esp if theyre fitted
Contact Nuvia. They may be able to replace them for free if you qualify.
@@cmscalvert thanks for the tip!
If you're 100% P&T, don't forget your spouse has access to DEA/Ch. 35 education benefits to help pay for college (assuming he'd like to go to/back to college for some further classes). This will also apply to any children you may have, biological, step, or adopted. They also have access to health insurance called CHAMPVA. And a few other benefits that are gated behind being 100% P&T. You should also check on the state level to see what you might qualify for as well for being 100%, as each state can offer different perks as well. Yes I work in a state VA office to help vets file for their benefits. So don't let the tangential benefits you have access to slip by. Too many vets do.
I'm 80% and can't work wish my spouse has access lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@AngeloJoeselberg Have you applied for Individual Unemployability (IU)? It's a classification of disability that will RATE you at 100%, even though medically you are only 80%. You need to have a combined rating of at least 70%, AND one of your conditions has to be individually rated at 40% or higher. If your disability cocktail works out to match that, then you could file to be rated 100% due to being unable to work specifically because of your disabilities. If they rate you 100% P&T (Permanent and Total) as a result of the IU claim (which does happen a lot), then you would be entitled to EVERY benefit that comes with being 100% P&T. There is ZERO difference, benefits wise, between medically being 100% P&T, and 100% P&T due to IU. Talk to your local VSO or whoever helped you file your claim previously. Talk to your doctor and see if they will provide a letter saying they don't think you can work, specifically BECAUSE of your service disabilities. That's an important detail.
I haven’t been to the dentist in years. One of my friends had to have a gofundme to pay for her dental work.
I think fosca50 would be shocked at the amount of dental work that DOESN'T get done in the US!
I didn't go for 5 years. Finally went when I had intense tooth pain - a massive cavity in my molar.
Take care of your teeth. You only get 1 set as an adult. If you have a job that offers dental insurance, there's no reason to not see a dentist regularly.
I have several friends in the southern most states going to Mexico. There is a town on the border that you can even just walk to if you wanted. Retirees have been going for years. Broke people are just now finding out about the town. JUST THIS TOWN - I do not know about any other areas.
@@sonicpsycho13Even when you have insurance through work, it can still be prohibitively expensive. I have GOOD dental insurance for my area, but a root canal was still almost $1000 out of pocket.
@@lic.5085 I'm talking about routine, semi-annual cleanings. Every dental insurance I've had 100% covers 2 cleanings per year. You don't see a dentist on a regular basis for root canals.
I haven’t gone to the dentist since I was 18…. I’m broke and can’t afford it😬
I've gone a couple of times, but everytime I do the dentist is shocked i waited so long... Cuz $$
The first time I went I was 13. Then I was able to get seen at 20 because of state Healthcare. I haven't been since. I have babies that need it more then I do.
That was my sister! Luckily she has really good dental hygiene / genes because she was okay after not going for 11 years!
Meanwhile I go every 6 months and have two crowns and 3 cavities in the past 11 years 🙄😅
Honestly, speaking from experience, just use floss and gum picks, brush and rinse and you should be fine.
@@lkf8799 thank god I have never had any problems. 🤞🏿 hopefully stays like that!
One of the biggest issues today is that people are no longer afraid of getting punched in the face when they run their mouth in public. This has been augmented by being able to be nasty online with relative anonymity. Unless you're a boomer who puts personal info online while having the audacity to be nasty.
Also- Jesus loves you. I don't make a habit of saying that online to strangers unprompted but I feel the need to since some people who call themselves Christians don't want to act like Christ.
A lot of mean girls I know became nurses.
This. This right here. I've noticed that alot of nurses lately are the meanest and are doing it to virtue signal and to seem "special" and are not very smart. The majority I know BARELY made it to even be a nurse. Alot can't even SPELL basic words and are super ignorant. Then act like you should kneel at their presence because nurse and automatically deserve the utmost respect and want their asses kissed. I know not ALL nurses are like this but I haven't had alot of good experiences with them and lord forbid you ask them a basic question they don't know...🤦🏽♀
Side note, I have an aunt that is a nurse and she has said some MIND BLOWING ableist/just uninformed shit (the last I can recall being that we didnt need to get paxlovid when we cuaght covid) so yeah the audacity on some medical professionals.
And woof, way to read this person for filth. I don't know what to say concerning all you've been through that doesn't sound faintly condescending, I just hope you continue to work toward being in a good place.
Yeah, I work in healthcare, and after Covid I no longer assume health professionals are either sane or knowledgeable until they prove themselves to be. I still respect the amount of time and work that goes into those professions, but damn...
Girl you look gorgeous no matter what, you’re an absolute queen and your content is amazing and always makes me smile. You deserve to be happy and confident, and I hope you don’t let peoples rude comments get you down.
This feels like i stumbled upon the subreddit r/traumatizethemback or something like that (i'm not even on Reddit but i follow people who make video reaction of some posts on Reddit). Like "you want to be mean about my phisical appearance, then get all of the story behind it". And i'm so here for it. But, jokes aside, Nique you are a beatiful person, don't let these petty as*holes get to you ❤️
For too many followers of Jesus, shaming is a sport. If called out they proclaim “I’m not perfect, I’m just forgiven.” So they can sleep tight & wake up the next day to judge & shame others all over again, rinse, repeat, amen.
Well, you do realize that Caiphas was a "preacher." Jesus wasn't after the Romans and their ruling politics. Jesus was after the religious leaders, concerning their attitude, behavior, and rationalizations. If you were to interview Caiphas, he would tell you that crucifying Jesus was not only necessary and correct, but that God would have approved of Jesus' death, as well as the deaths of all those who followed him. So, being mean in the name of the Lord is just practice. Killing in the name of the Lord, now THAT is the ultimate goal.
Im going to be 100% honest i had no clue what you were talking about, I never saw anything wrong with your teeth, they look perfectly fine to me. That being said, isnt it just basic manners to not comment on people's appearance, unless its a genuine compliment. But since Fosca50 claims to be a person of God I would like to point out that the Bible says to not worry about the splinter in someone else's eye and worry about the plank in your own eye. 👀
I never saw anything either.
Fosca50 is out here doin the lords work ya'll woo!!! As a girly from the deep deep south we got a lil 'friendly' sayin hun. Bless your heart
Hun, I know the good lord you worship did not guide you to act so ugly to others.
on to an actual response that isn't drippin with sarcasm, Nicque I have followed you for a long long time. Do not let these petty people who have nothin better on their hands bring you down. We adore you. You are a star that shines helpin others see durin their own dark moments with your humor and content. I pray to the universe that you are always blessed.
What I wanna know is why this fosca50 is all up in people's mouths to begin with? 🤔
Yeah. My teeth are my biggest insecurity. Growing up poor AF. No dental care, poor nutrition. Depressive that makes life so shitty all hygiene goes out the window. I know teeth are crooked and have a lot of cavities
Fosca50 has failed the famous compassion of the nursing profession.
I need to get fake teeth and I’m 13 so it’s not only you
I have to get them cuz someone pushed me to the ground and stomped on my face so now there broken
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry you went through that
@@queencleopatra007 it’s okay I’m doing good now
@@SlugSage it’s okay
The decaying what? Eh, I guess some people don't look at people holistically. Or get really jealous of pretty people on their phones so they have to look at the tiniest flaw.
I also grew up in poverty; mom loved us & did her best but she was messed up from her own abusive childhood, dad didn't pay a dime in child support. Many times we had nothing to eat but bread or oats. We were homeless on and off, but we hid it. I remember being ashamed. How f'd iup is our society that a literal CHILD should feel ashamed of being homeless -- when it was the parents and society around them that were supposed to take care of them? There is no shame in struggling and doing your best to survive in an unequal society. What's shameful is to have such a crashing lack of empathy and self-awareness that you try to pull other people down. What's shameful is the people who let this happen to others, do nothing to help, and then judge them.
Sidenote, I can't even see the tooth so no wonder nobody but her wanted to talk about it. I have 2 impacted wisdom teeth I need out (thankfully the NHS will cover it) but I am also scared about the surgery!
I’ll pray for you. Stock up on ice cream, and keep the spaces as clean as you can after the teeth are removed. I ate a lot of ice cream, mashed potatoes, and protein shake thingies after I had my wisdom teeth taken out.
Lol, the epitome of "don't ask a question if you're not ready for the answer." 😂
Also, I've been fortunate enough to have mostly steady dental care and still find it terrifying, so big props for taking care of yourself now. And I, for whatever it's worth, didn't notice the tooth thing at all.
Yes, fosca50, people are full aware of their flaws. No, fosca50 you don't need to point them out
I’m 36 and I did not know you were supposed to go to the hospital for the flu.
If you have an incredibly high fever of 102-103 or higher, it's hospital time. That kind of fever can cause brain damage and even organ failure in some people.
The amount of people who just say the MEANEST stuff online with seemingly no remorse and it’s horrific to me that we’re existing on the same planet as these people. I was watching a UA-cam video and someone commented “That sweater is bad and you should feel bad” on their video. I think some people just dehumanize people online and take the anonymity to say whatever they want.
And then they have the gall to sit around and wonder why they’re lonely. Maybe you have no friends because you’re a bad person
I definitely can relate to your story! Folks that comment have no understanding or empathy for others
I don't even see anything wrong with your teeth? So that person is insane for hyper-focusing on that.
I had a similar experience. The embarrament is so hard, especially when other shame you. I was once shamed by a dentist. That was the worst!
You're supposed to go to the hospital for the flu???
Also, imagine being a nurse and a so-called Christian and having this little empathy.
Fosca50 done f'd up
And they found out👏🏾👏🏾
I had a cracked and decaying molar for a few years, because I had NO MONEY, it was that bad, and I was working full-time. Then I finally was able to go to university in my late 20s/early 30s, and healthcare was required fir students so it was included in the tuition, I luckily had grants that payed my tuition so I basically got my healthcare for free, my last year of uni there was an oral surgeon in the town where the uni was that was doing a special for undergrads of having your wisdom teeth taken out for a total of a hundred bucks outside of our dental premium, I still had enough on my dental insurance so I qualified, did I mention the decaying tooth was a wisdom tooth too?, lol, gah. The surgeon asked if I wanted local anesthetic or full anesthetic, and only local anesthetic was included in the price so I did that, the surgeon I could tell felt really bad about my situation or maybe he was just weirded out, don't know. I was awake while he had to shatter the decaying tooth to take it out, and could feel almost everything when the other 3 teeth were pulled. A few years after this happened I moved to South Korea for a job and met my husband there, he grew up in France, and when I told him my stories of being sick without insurance and no medicine (about 2 years before we met I was out of work for a year and caught strep throat, no money for a doctor or antibiotics, had to stay in bed for 2 weeks, it was horrible), and how actually normal it is in the US, he was horrified, it's one of the reasons we settled down in France and not the States 😂😢
Oomph, replacing silver fillings is actually pretty dangerous, it's why most dentists don't use amalgam for fillings anymore, it's dangerous to remove them because you can get poisoned if you ingest of of the particles. They are fine putting the silver in and it's fine when the metal is hard in the mouth, but removing those kinds of fillings exposes you to ingesting particles, which could poison you. I had a dentist fill in half of one of my teeth on the cheap when I was a kid, as a favor to my dad, it probably should be replaced, but every dentist I've seen since then, in the States, on Korea, in France, will not touch it, nope, lol, they have all said it's dangerous to remove, it's expensive to remove it safely, and insurance doesn't usually cover removing it (even national insurance), they would sooner remove the whole tooth before removing a silver filling, lol. So I'm a bit surprised you're able to get yours replaced.
This is literally just r/traumatizethemback. Good on you Nicque!
“Professionals” aren’t always professional. I know I have called 988 and I have only ever gotten 1 good call out of 5. That nurse is an asshole. Wtf
Hugs, I let my appendix burst, and I spent 2 weeks with a ng tube. Body ate itself teeth took a hit.
Just going to point out as well that genetics make up a HUGE part of how our teeth hold up over time. You could have flawless dental hygiene and a great diet and still have a mouthful of issues. The obsession with tooth appearance in the US is staggeringly classist.
Daaaaang they gon say that about me too😭
😅 Some christians stay showing their true colors
i hope you're getting all the views and ad revenue from people retraumatizing you. like the best case scenario would be that they STOP, but it's the internet and some people don't know how to act. especially nurses with jesus stuff in their bio.
Any ‘odd’ tooth may have a very painful root. Keep your comments to yourself next time, fosca50.
Dental care is just as much of a human right as healthcare, and the fact that money keeps a lot of people from accessing necessary healthcare is such a failing in society. Universal health and dental care should be standard
1:05 wait what i did the same thing why would u go to the hospital???
I think it’s just that if it’s bad enough there’s a risk you can go downhill pretty fast?? I knew it could get bad but tbh I didn’t realise 2 weeks of a bad flu was time to get help, probably should’ve realised when it happened to me though because I felt TERRIBLE lol. If you google it there’s info about when it’s bad enough to go to hospital!
In some extreme cases the flu can cause organ damage.
All the mean girls I knew in high school became nurses….it’s definitely a thing, which is sad and abhorrent.
Wait, what? WHAT decayed tooth?
I really do not see why anyone would comment, and like, at most, I’d ask if you’re okay - in the “that spot on your face looks concerning, did you get hit, are you okay?” Way… except also, we don’t know her like that, so… maybe that’s not our place?!?!?
Edit: on a note of “thoughts and prayers - if it helps, I’ve had to have a lot of dental work, too, and unless your dentist is, like, just a butcher, it’s usually painless and easy for you to recover. If it’s going to be surgery, in all likelihood, it will just be like you fell asleep and then wake up with a new tooth (since it’s easier for the dentist that way) and as far as the procedure goes, it’s one of the least invasive ones, and quickest recovery time. Fingers crossed for you, you got this!
What decayed tooth?! That person is insane 🤦🏻♀️
Fun Fact and my sad story lol.... I'm a Veteran who had ALL his teeth ground down to nubs for Crowns! The Dentist ground ALL my front teeth Too Short. Then during service the teeth snapped off and broke and all root canales! They temp fixed it till I was released and never actually fixed them. So as a civilian with no job cuz I'm a disabled veteran I have a mouth full of broken rotting front teeth too expensive for me to pay for and fix. The military doesn't care if they fix u up and later on you need maintenance of anything, thats our problem. It's sad! Don't talk trash about peoples appearance most of the time it's beyond our control!
U a real one Nicque. This for all the kids tht went thru neglect tryna take care of ourselves now🩵🩵 in reading this weirdo for filth u had an absolute word for what u can go thru as a kid & how that can affect u forever. Some ppl don’t understand cuz they never had to. Lucky them
I know they meant to shame you and you did a fantastic job putting them in their place, but I also wanna say thank you for talking about this. I lost dental insurance at 26, which means I have not been able to afford dental visits until recently and I've been dreading going to the dentist bc I'm know there's gonna be so much work to get done. You reminded me that that's okay and I don't have anything to be ashamed of. I really appreciate that and I'm sorry they were shitty about it. I hope that surgery goes well 💜
Tooth removal with bone grafts suck in the short term but recovery is quicker than you think! My husband had to have one this year and it was less invasive than you would imagine. There were a couple of stitches involved but they were able to do it under local anesthetic. The worst part was really the soft food diet he had to adhere to. You got this, Nicque! If my husband can do it, so can you!
What kind of frame by frame, enhance, enhance, enhance bs did Fosca50 need to do to even see that?!
The only thing I can see is that Fosca50 really needs to go touch grass or something.
Oh man.....fosca50 triggered a flashback and became the villain of the story. Isn't weird of someone who proclaims to be jesus loving can end up being judgmental street urchins
Hey, that’s insulting to street urchins X^D
I literally love this woman so much (Nicque, not nurse-what’s-her-face), you are so frigging real for all this. I wish you the best with your surgery, you inspire me to be less quiet and have the courage to stand up and be me, so thank you. Keep shining like the star you are, mwah!
I just have to say, maybe this Fosca50 has much better eyesight than I do, but for the first time, instead of watching your eyes and facial expressions, like a normal person does, I was looking at your teeth a lot. And I didn't see a damned thing that looked like it was anything other than a normal set of teeth. Fosca50 needs to find something better to do than to insult people online to feel better about themselves.
Dental care is one of the hardest things to get in medical care.
I am fully on the side of naming and shaming. Dgaf what fosca50 been thru to get be such a hateful shrew. You, my dear, are one of the most beautiful people I follow inside and out. I watch your stories and find strength I don’t personally have right now. I appreciate your openness and clarity of thought to fight your way thru all the bs you’ve been thru. I don’t feel like I can keep fighting for myself these days but I’ll be damned if I see someone I care about get dragged like that. I don’t even care if it’s weird I care about some folks I follow. I’ll be that weirdo. You’re worth it and worth keeping around in the world. She isn’t worth it and knows it. I feel safe saying I’m not the only person you reach here goin thru stuff and finding strength in you, so thank you. I’m sorry some degenerate needs to try to bring you down to feel lifted up. I’m sure her life is karma itself at this point. Fuck em.
This is why people need to keep their opinions on other people's looks to themselves. You never know what someone's going through. We are way too obsessed with appearance in this society.
Nicque Thank You for your Service! F that jerk and all others that come for you. You are sweet, kind and completely Amazing!
Welp, Fosca50 is fired now 😂 lol A lot of people shouldn't be nurses.
"Nobody is talking about the decayed tooth"...Really? How about how the US largely treats teeth as "luxury bones" unless you're paying for a plan that covers caps, bridges, or even partial to complete replacement plates? Yeah, I'd LOVE to have that conversation. Because as I see it, even if we're just narrowing the focus to VA dental care, it WILDLY deviates from state to state for what is or isn't covered.
Oh, but you're probably not even interested in a serious conversation on the topic, huh? No, you just want to play picador for clout points. Ooh yeah, you really got 'em, how amazing, that's your five minutes of net fame. Congrats. We'll bring over your sippy cup of apple juice very soon.
Mean girl to nurse pipeline is real and I LOATH these types of folks.
I had the same issues with dental work. I'm in the process of getting the first of several implants, shelling out hundreds of dollars a month until I finish paying for this one and start the whole process again. Bodies are unique so I don't know if what I experienced will be what you experienced, but it honestly wasn't nearly as bad as I was making it in my mind. And you're talking to a girl that has to take a Valium to avoid hyperventilating when it's time to get the Novocaine.
That said, here's hoping for a speedy recovery as free from aches as possible.
I don’t even know what she’s talking about. I’m not looking at anything other than your beautiful face.
Wait people go to the hospital for the flu? I had it once and all it gave me was a bad fever
For the actual flu and not a bad cold, yeah. Flu can kill. If not directly then the secondary infections can take people out.
Wtf??
What tooth? I never noticed that, some ppl have weird kinks.
Fosca50 sucks. It's ok to kink-shame fosca50. And only fosca50.
I feel you on this I grew up with no health insurance until I was 18. When I was 31 I got viral encephalitis for the second time in my life. However it was misdiagnosed for a year. I shouldn't have lived through it. To save my life I had to be on a medicine that kill the enamel on my teeth, they grew brittle and broke, I had to have all my teeth pulled at 36. I had dentures made that didn't fit me from day ONE! For the last 4 years I have been trying to get a new set made but due to bone loss in my mouth implants are my best bet. However they are very expensive and I am disabled, living on pennies a month. I HATE leaving my home because I don't have any teeth it bothers me so much and makes me feel so terrible about myself. I have had comments accusing me of being a druggie because I have no teeth, had someone tell me they wouldn't dare show their face in public if they looked like me and so I don't. Going out for me is very hard due to my brain injury and other medical issues and having people judge me for no teeth makes it 10 times as worse!
Wow, dental procedures are just the best, aren't they, Nikki? I mean, who doesn't love the thrill of going into debt for a bone graft? I got one too, and let me tell you, it's a real blast. They knock you out and use your own blood to fill the gap. Super fun.
But hey, the real excitement comes when you get the bill and find out your insurance only covers the extraction, not the actual grafting. Because, you know, that's exactly what you want to wake up to after surgery - a hefty price tag.
Despite all this, I'm sending you love and anesthesia-filled dreams, Nikki. You got this! Dental woes are the worst, but you're stronger. I had an implant and two wisdom teeth extractions (top ones), and I'm still standing. Well, technically, I'm still paying off the medical bills.
You're not alone in this. We can commiserate about our shared dental trauma and plan our future dental adventures - like getting those bottom wisdom teeth removed... eventually.
Hang in there, Nikki!
It’s so sad to see someone comment on your appearance online for them only to find out that there is a valid reason behind whatever they’re criticizing. It’s like, whoops! I didn’t know you’re an actual person with a personal history and feelings! My bad! 😒
I'm also excited about the porcelain caps i'm getting this year. Im getting two! So excited! (the small things bring us joy!)
I relate to this SO MUCH. Mine was because my dad took off and my mother suffered addiction, but the result was the same. I'm from the Pacific Northwest and when we had nowhere to go, we went "camping." I spent probably 3/4 of my childhood in a tent.
Fosca50 must be lonely in her basement to have time to be looking in your mouth that hard!😂😂
Yep. That's one of my main motivations for graduating college, if I'm being honest. I've never had good dental care (also due to being poor and having a financially abusive father), and I have crooked teeth and discoloration on them as a result. I know they look bad, and it's embarrassing, and I want to get them fixed. But I also know that "good" teeth have been a status symbol in the United States for a long time and "bad" teeth are a common sign of poverty. Because of this, it's actually EXTREMELY classist to point out someone's bad teeth, because it is likely a result of poverty. (Maybe I have some internalized classism to work through, too, idk, but I have always hated my teeth, and it's probably one of the first things I'll take care of when I'm able)
Man, these commenters are so bloody rude. And you'd figured for a nurse she'd know better, yet some people really suck at their job and have no bedside manners... Or common sense
I also went through a long period of time without proper insurance and medical/dental care, and I joke that my inheritance from my parents happened at birth when they gave me genetic mutations that led to a bunch of genetic conditions I deal with now. People have no idea what others are going through. One day I hope to get new dentures that fit better bc my top front teeth are gone and I'm really self conscious about it.
As we all know, remarking on people's appearances, especially PTSD veteran who survive childhood neglects, is the core of Jesus teachings.
Thankful that the algorithm deities led me to your video. Thank you for sharing your story! The online disinhibition effect brings out the asshole in far too many people, but I’m glad you responded!!!
just mindblowing that there are people without healthcare in that country. not a single person I have ever met had not have braces at 12 or so
“May the petty be with you.” Is 1 of my favorite comments in here.
Some people shouldn’t be nurses.
I have zero teeth now.
I'm 47.i lost them back in 2012 because of a LOT of fuck ups by various medical people and the fact that Medicare didn't cover dental, and while medicaid _did,_ the only place that would take it was Ohio State dental collage...
Here's the background - I had to basically have my hip replaced at 31. After the 3rd surgery, I got MRSA in the surgical wound.
(At this point in time, I had exactly one cavity, filled, from a chipped tooth. I also had had my back 4 molars pushed out by my wisdom teeth, which were in turn removed. But other than that, perfect dental record)
One of the many many antibiotics (or an antiviral, it was over a decade ago) pulled enamel from my teeth.
So, off to the collage I went.
For a YEAR, they'd treat a single tooth, then make an appointment for a month or more later. Until final they conceded I needed faster and better care than 4th year students. I was transferred to the graduate program (people who were already dentists, going for a specialization)
And they took one look at my mouth and decided - I'm not joking, they TOLD me this more than once - they decided I was a Crack addict.
_Nothing_ I did changed their minds - I offered drug tests, I offered to let them strand test me, I brought my medical records which showed it an antibiotic - it. Did. Not. Matter.
They'd find ANY excuse to not work on me, and send me home with nothing done. I ended up back in the hospital for 3 weeks, and the HOSPITAL brought my then- dentist over to do some work, and my surgeon got in a screaming match with him about how I was being treated - nothing changed. They kept blowing me off, literally only doing emergency work when they had no choice, until my teeth were not salvageable. So I'm 47, and I've had dentures for 12 years.
I've never done an illegal drug in my life (though I do think the "war in drugs" is idiotic and I don't care if people want to do drugs as long as they don't hurt anyone) I've never abused a prescription. But I was treated like I _had,_ and that _because_ I had, I deserved no help. Even when they got the full truth (my surgeon eventually visited with the person from infectious disease who had been in charge of my case) and the head of the dentistry clinic apologized - it didn't change how they treated me or that it was _too late_ (though I think them giving me dentures instead of just pulling my teeth and kicking me out was probably because of that visit)
Even if I _had_ been a crash addict, I'm still a person! But the poor, minorities, and those with "issues" like addiction(mental health problems that are untreated, mostly) - the whole dentistry ECOSYSTEM seems to think we're undeserving...
And my GODS is it expensive! And I don't know WHY
If audacity was a power source, fosca50 coulda powered NYC for 50 years on that comment alone.
I just came from the dentist and was told I have to have my wisdom teeth extracted. It's terrifying. I also have GAD, Austism, PTSD, so I relate. Mine doesn't sound nearly as scary as yours, and I'm always impressed at how awesome you are! Don't let idiots with Jesus bios (and probably a lifetime of health insurance) get you down!
Literally can’t even see it. Spent the whole video trying to spot it just to see wtf this person was seeing and I can’t spot it. Even if I could, it’s nobody’s business.
The sarcasm is delightful and honestly healing.
It does suck, but stay persistent. We like your content, but we love you, and your adventure. Keep us inspired. Keep going.
As a healthcare provider, I am embarrassed that anyone in a profession where we are supposed to CARE could so casually insult a person's physical appearance. As a fan of yours, I am honestly stunned when people find negative things to say about you. Maybe this will teach them a lesson?
Whaaa? She is conventionally gorgeous. You have to be really reaching to find a tiny detail like that. Second, I can't even see it.
I learned today you're supposed to go to the hospital for the flu.
In other, totally unrelated news, I REALLY gotta go back to the dentist.
I don't smile a lot because I'm self conscious about my teeth. Most of the damage was before I had a clue what could be done about it.
I can totally relate of not having dental insurance for a long time due to various reasons. I realized who my friends were and who were just fakers depending on how they treat me regarding my appearance. Shout out to the real ones!
Dental care also costs a massive amount of money with insurance. Oh, so does health care. Because we live in America. Which has the most expensive health care of all developed counties...
It always amazes me
That people in America, had to join the military
To get basic human care
I’m 31 and I didn’t know people go to the hospital for the flu…
