Da Infinity Gamer when I was 15 I went to the doctor for severe stomach pains and I brought my dad just in case the doc said anything I didn’t understand or was concerned about. Doc asked if I was sexually active and my dad freaked out. Doc subsequently didn’t believe me when I said no. I wasn’t sexually active. Didn’t become sexually active until I was 22.
@@witchywoman2008 A similar thing happened to be when I was 13/14 except my mom was there. They also asked if I did any drugs. After my mom left they asked again and I insisted I didnt do drugs or have sex and eventually they relented. This was for some swolen hernia that seemed to mysteriously appear that I got surgery for, we never did learn the cause.
Default I’m assuming it’s because condoms are made of latex, and chlamydia is an STD. So she probably had sex, got chlamydia from her partner, then blamed it on the latex in the condom
@@mozza1918 i dont think that anti vax parents dont ask why their children are dying because they'll say that they're getting strong themselves without poison
I know a family. They're incredibly strong, to the point where their eldest son is actually an olympian. Needless to say they have some serious pain tolerance, however they are also generally polite in a buddy-buddy kind of way and do not like to waste other people's time. They've got a reputation at the local hospital; if one of them comes in to the emergency room saying that they're hurting at all, even if they do not seem distressed, they must be treated IMMEDIATELY. This is because their pain tolerance is SO HIGH and their tempermant SO NICE that they will wave off any fatal injury as almost completely unimportant. They WILL allow themselves to bleed out in the wait room, utterly unperturbed by the severity of their injuries. Some receptionists do not know the faces of this family, so when they tell the doctors the name of the waiting clients the doctors always freak out and demand they be sent in NOW.
@@jovelleteo1011 More like one of the daughters loves cooking, sliced her hand (there's an artery in the thimb there that you do NOT want to cut), and held her hand closed on the way to the hospital. This is not an exaggeration. Receptionist didn't know how serious the injury was because she was so calm and was putting pressure on the wound. She could have bled out in that wait room if the doctor hadn't immediately ushered her in due to past incidents.
Yeah and I'm their exact opposite. My pain tolerance is so low that slightly bumping my arm against something feels like I broke it. Just resting my elbow on another body part can be incredibly painful. Totally sucks.
Sadly I've heard the opposite happening too- patients complaining about an issue, an incompetent doctor shrugging it off, and the issue turning out to be something very serious. If you feel something is wrong and the doctor doesn't care about your concerns, get a second opinion. It could save you, your child, whoever.
Happened to me, almost cost me my life....I'm glad I continued and just went to as many drs until it turns out I was having congestive heart failure. Nobody suspected it bc I was 28... very rare due to giving birth 2 weeks prior, called post partum cardiomyopathy
Long story on why I hate this one family doctor. It's a running joke at this point. "Diagnosed" me with depression when I was 15 and made me take antidepressants. Turns out I'm bipolar. My baby brother had a really bad cough and chest pain - gave him some cough syrup and the same night he had to be taken to the hospital. It was tuberculosis. A lot of people were sick with it at the time too. My mom ended up sick almost half a year later with the same issue. As soon as she was having the last exams to make sure everything was fine, she was feeling some pain and asked him - he says "It's just some leftover pain". It was actually lung cancer and she found out by chance by having a hospital doctor see her exams
Thank you for asking. My brother is healthy now, it's been seven years or so. I'm still having some issues with the right meds because it took me a while to be diagnosed. My mother is a really weird luck?? case because she had tuberculosis again right after fighting cancer and is "ok" now, just needs to be careful
Ok well shit I wish I had these competent doctors around when I was younger. I almost died at 8 years old cuz a doctor diagnosed me with a bad stomach bug instead of a ruptured appendix.
I had appendicitis, but someone passed it off as me having eaten too much pasta. Good thing my mom knew what was actually going on. Edited: it wasn't my grandmother actually, don't remember who it was
I had something similar happen. Was 7 and in excruciating pain for three days. At the ER the Dr said it was constipation. Second ER put me in surgery for appendicitis. You're in good company.
Rina Berman my entire family is like that, but the excuse for every pain I get is because apparently I don't drink enough water. Sore legs? Drink water. Puking? Drink water. Dizzy and lightheaded all the time? _DrInK wAtEr_
Same! In 2015 I went in and the doctor told me it was a stomach bug however she did say that if after I took the medication the pain continued to go to the ER that same night it got worse I arrived almost passing out from the pain and tachycardic I had to be controlled with medication and needed to have exploratory surgery My surgeon told me when I woke up that after they put in the camera they could not see anything because it had ruptured and went into emergency surgery
my grandpa once called my dad in a panic because he was hallucinating. we go to his house and he was totally loopy. he was talking about how beautiful all the colors were, and the happiness everywhere, etc. we were calling his doctor, drug companies, etc. all night, until my grandpa finally says, “oh, and i haven’t slept a wink in three nights” gave him a melatonin and he was miraculously cured
It's been my personal experience that those with Crones disease have a story about their bowels, the length of which would put Tolstoy to shame. I'm not even a medical professional, and I've been trapped while someone goes on for 2 1/2 hours about her bowels.
Also had a kidney infection 😂 I initially told my doctor's I had an incredibly bad flu (and couldn't keep food down for days), and that the pain in my side was from the gym.
I had a bad infection peeing blood too. I hate hospitals so ignored it for a month. Finally got it checked out. Told it was very severe. Then I didn't pick the meds up for it for another month because I didn't want to spend 57$. (Meanwhile I was bringing in 1200$ checks from all my overtime but ya know. I'm an idiot 😂)
Oh and forgot to mention because I waited so long the infection spread and I'll finally be done with getting treated for it by tomorrow. Lesson learned. Go to the fucking Dr and get your meds.
I was on my period when I got kidney infection. I did hurt like hell and I couldn't stand properly. But the doc asked me where it was the pain, and I said a little bit down the last rib. And yes she asked me about the colour of my urine. It was dark brown.
My dad was peeing his life away and lost weight just from pissing A lot of people just thought he was working out, but he looked weird and it was too fast and he always had to pee Diabetes. He’s on meds and closer to regular dad weight
Let your dad know, If he doesn't already know, that he needs to change his lifestyle besides just the meds. Not to be insensitive, but for real, your dad was so vlose to death I had a sinking feeling in my stomach the first two sentences you wrote.
@@kaydwessie296 good, continue to nag. Look up things to help him adjust, do child-father cooking nights when you both cook a healthy dinner, plan excursions. It'll make it easier on you and your dad to change the lifestyle and well,,, save your dad's life. You are extremely lucky, hold onto helping your dad the most you can.
Had this conversation many times: Me: Do you have any other medical conditions Patient: Nope Me: Are you taking any medications Pt: Oh yes, here is a pill for my diabetes, a pill for my hypertension, a pill for my thyroid and a pill for my cholesterol
randomisawesome I’m a second semester medical student and taking a thorough history is something I’m striving to do. The patients that we get for our clinical exams do this all the time 🤦🏾♀️
The replies on this post make me so thankful that my mood stabilizers work so well... I'm a broke college student I can't afford to be spending a shit ton of money at the dollar store (that's where I would do it - YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING SO CHEAP)
Naw, it was the "thisisagreatidea, nothingbadwillcomeofit, iamalmostinvincible" mania that bought the trucks, which just made the next depressive period that much lower-due to the spending/consequences.
@@killysnowsw my heart does many weird things: skipping, racing, slow and hard pounding etc. Went through the medical routine twice. They found nothing. So... Yeah... My doc said: It's more likely to be harmless that it's to be harmful. Still my mind can't let go... And that screws with my life. Go get yours checked out
Honestly, at lot of this comes from people being afraid to talk about symptoms that they think aren't important because they don't want anyone to think that they're whiny. I'm not making an excuse for it, mind you; it's actually a major problem since some people don't even realize that they need medical attention because they think "I'm fine, it's nothing, and I shouldn't complain about it." I've spent most of my life seeing a psychiatrist regularly (still do, in case my meds need to be adjusted) and it had never occurred to mention anything I was feeling aside from insomnia and difficulty with concentration until my dad insisted on attending a psychiatry appointment with me because my mental state was deteriorating. About a month before that he sat down and talked to me about how I was doing and I told him about how depressed I had been for the past several years. My mom took me shopping for groceries a few days later (which she usually does once a week) and, after telling me that my dad had almost cried when talking to her the day after our talk, she said "well, if that's not true then stop telling him that, and it if _is_ true, then keep telling him that." It turns out that a large part of what I was struggling with was emotional fatigue (which I hadn't dealt with because I didn't think it was an actual problem) which was only exacerbated by the fact that I'm autistic. I'm doing much better now, but I still regret not seeking help for those problems almost a decade ago. I'm not sure if this is really a good place to post this, but I wanted to get it off my chest because, well, I've _been_ one of those patients. Sometimes it isn't people being stupid; sometimes, they're ashamed of themselves or afraid that they're complaining about nothing.
Damn, that hit hard for me. When I was younger, I'd mention to my mom all these different issues I had, and she'd always say that I'm too young to have so many issues and that medicine is expensive, so I felt guilty and eventually stopped talking about all problems I had. Turns out I'm not just a moody teenager and that I actually might have depression, social anxiety, an eating disorder, and a kneecap that pops out of place which isn't normal (who knew)... But I tell this to my mom, she's gonna give an entire hour long speech on how much money I'm gonna cost her with treatment, making me feel guilty. Welp..
That lactose intolerance one around 10:20 is exactly what i have, found out 4 weeks ago, been drinking it for years without a reaction, as soon as I stop, my memory clears up and grades get better
I wonder if I have this. I've had bad memory for my entire life. Rather forgetful. I do consume dairy products almost daily. May be time for an experiment.
I had to stop the video after reading that. I found out I was lactose intolerant few years ago since it caused diarrhea and stomach pain but I've still been eating pastries and low-lactose dairy. It 100% explains my bad memory, being lethargic etc. Holy shit
As a patient, I have a few bones to pick. Go into the doctor because I am pooping white. The doctor says I am fine. Go home and find out a couple months later white meant the bile duct was blocked and was definitely an ER level issue. Luckily I just did my usual of stool softener and it resolved on its own. Go in for allergic reactions multiple times. Get told I have anxiety, am given antianxiety meds and sent home. Turns out I have Hyper POTS and they were diagnosing me with anxiety solely on my elevated heart rate. I have MCAD. Allergist that my insurance was forcing me to see didn't believe that was a real problem that people could have. Starts putting together stuff in my charts to have me put in a mental hospital. I hate that doctor.
Every time a doctor notices I have a fast heart rate (at least 90+bpm) they are like "hmm, your heart is going fast, you must be nervous!" and that's it. When my friend's girlfriend had the same heart rate she got sent to a cardiologist.... it's like they all want me to die or something :S
john smith Yeah, a lot of them could have had their issues resolved so much quicker if they were honest and disclosed everything fully. That’s why actual doctors question patients without relatives in the room, unlike House.
@@KnakuanaRka Not everything is obviously a problem. When I was a kid, I used to get dirt cravings. I'd really want to eat but I knew better than to eat dirt, so I didn't. I had mild recurrences but it wasn't hard to resist. Then when I was pregnant with my daughter, the dirt cravings returned and were persistent. My appointments with my OB/GYN were so fast and quickly went over my results and sent me on my way. I didn't think about it. I was worried that I wasn't gaining weight at the rate I should be and I didn't want a lot of normal food. Red meat made me nauseous. Eating was a massive effort and I was chomping on ice to deal with the dirt cravings. Toward the end of the pregnancy, my palms started getting itchy, the cravings got worse. But then appointments were all about my OB/GYN talking about the delivery and lectures about my lack of weight gain. I didn't get a chance to say much although I did bring up that I was itchy. My doctor told me most pregnant women deal with itchiness. After my daughter was born, the itchiness stopped instantly and the dirt cravings gradually eased off. I still had problems with being underweight until she finally weened when she turned one. Then I got back up to a healthy weight and I was pleased with myself. Then when I was pregnant with my second child, I went to a midwife. She would sit and chat with me each appointment. No rush. She'd ask questions each appointment and we discussed that I'd been losing weight again this pregnancy. She slowed down and discussed what I was eating and my food aversions and cravings. She sent me for blood tests and got a referral. I had aenemia triggered PICA. Low iron levels can cause eating disorders. I was sent to a nutritionist and got help. Then the itching returned. During one of my long appointments with my midwife, I brought up that my palms were itchy. Again, she sent me for blood tests. First round unhelpful and in the meantime, the itching spread and my skin started to feel extremely sensitive and other symptoms started to crop up. Long story short, I had Intraheptic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. It's rare in the general population but more common among Scandinavians. I don't think it was stupidity that I didn't tell my doctor about craving dirt and I did tell my doctor that I was itchy. I think when doctors have a lot of patients and are going through them quickly, they inevitably miss things. It's one of the reasons I think midwives are so good at catching things that doctors miss. They're not better diagnostician's, they just have more time to build report and gain relevant patient information. My kids are healthy and well, so that's all that matters.
Unintentional weight loss? Best friend went behind my back to tell my mom she thought I was anorexic. Mom asked me, I denied it. She asked what I'd eaten the past few days. I thought for a moment, then went *oh crap*. I hadn't been eating. Yes, AT ALL. Just wasn't hungry. Turns out gall bladder said "fuck you" and any attempt to put food in my mouth resulted in vomiting. Being able to eat a single twizzler was a miracle, and my only calories were a glass of milk or Sprite if I could manage it. Went through so dang many tests. One problem was because I had another symptom - major joint pain - leading to a misdiagnosis of Lyme disease, but the test came back negative. Doctor handed over Lyrica for fibromyalgia. Instantaneously the pain was all but gone. Eventually was sent for an ultrasound. Stupid receptionist thought it was just teen pregnancy (I was 17 being dragged by my mom, since I could barely walk). Blood tests were ran, and they did a bile injection % test. Bile% was negligible. Blood test, for all 20 categories, was squarely in the "healthy" range but my carbs were a bit high - of healthy people, 5% of the time they'll be outside "healthy range" and the doctor thought it was funny I was in the range for all of them. It's possible, just statistically pretty rare. So they scheduled me to have the gall bladder removed. I'm weird, and asked after the surgery if I could see it. Nope. They did tell me it was packed with crystals, though (gall stones run in the family). I think I lost more than 50 pounds, and in less than 4 months. 9 years later I still haven't gained all of it back, even if I eat like a pig.
That's terrifying, glad you're okay! The year I first met my now-husband, he started having a lot of vomiting and digestive issues, and over 3 months with the doctors not figuring it out he lost 30+ lbs starting out skinny and couldn't even sit up from being so weak. It finally ended up being ulcerative colitis, and he's much better now, but dang that was scary for a while there
You are lucky to have such a good, observant, friend ^^ I had obvious symptoms of my condition when I was a kid, and the only one who noticed was my family doctor (was taken for visits pretty infrequently at the time)..
I have so many symptoms that it's hard to keep track of them all. So, I understand that it's easy to forget things. Every time I see my gp she learns something new and says "why didn't you say something sooner?" I always reply with "I have memory issues and a lot of symptoms. Can I be tested for autoimmune encephalitis now?"
You should keep a note on your phone, mine is titled “Doctor”, and anytime I notice anything off or remember something, I write it down there. When I see the doctor I straight up take out my phone and say “let me check my notes”, never forget anything that way.
We had a patient in ENT who came in because he “couldn't taste salt anymore“. He had been to another doc before who didn't take him seriously and said that his partial loss of taste was side effect of some of the medicine he was taking. What the patient failed to mention at first was that he lost over 11kg (24 lbs) in roughly 4 weeks. His explanation for this was that he ate less because nothing tasted good anymore. It actually was stage 2 oropharyngeal carcinoma.
Patient: I feel really lightheaded. Doctor: Is there anything else you can tell me that might help diagnose what’s going on? Patient: No not that I can think of... Oh wait I forgot! I accidentally sawed my own hand off! Sorry I’m so forgetful! Doctor: No sir I think I think that’s from the blood loss. Patient: Blood loss??? What do you mean blood loss? Oh that explains why my shirt is completely red! I thought I just forgot I changed from a white shirt to a red shirt! Did I ever tell you that I’m very forgetful? Doctor: 🤦♂️
This doc stuff is so difficult. Like what are ppl supposed to do? They always encourage you to book an appointment whenever you notice something unusual, but if you do exactly that you’re suddenly overly anxious. But when you don’t, you’re stupid.
10:09 I have a type of lactose intolerance that causes me to have extreme mood swings, violent thoughts or actions, complete loss of reason, and so much rage I can't think straight and I foam at the mouth. Fun times
@Ícaro Thomás Just the diet. I have never heard of a treatment for it. I can take lactaid for a lesser reaction but it just isn't worth it. Besides, in my case, it's genetic. I don't have celiac disease but my aunt has very bad celiac disease to the point where she can't have wheat, dairy, or even grains
Not a doctor, but back when I was in HS the kid next to me was coughing a lot. Then the class saw he was coughing blood. Not a lot, but it was blood. No one thought to say anything to him. Even the teacher. I, thinking why isn't anyone saying anything, tell the guy to go to the nurse because he's fucking coughing blood. He turns to me and ask is that bad. Stunned I say yes, coughing blood isn't normal. Teacher let's him go. Don't know what happened to him. It still shocks me no one spoke up or that the kid didn't think coughing up blood was bad. I know it can be something minor if your young and all, but it's not normal. Never seen anyone else do this. I personally have nasal issues and allergies and would sometimes have a bloody nose from dry air and sneezing a lot, but coughing up blood isn't as normal as a bloody nose right?
It is best to be safe. Coughing up blood, especially with constant coughing and shortness of breath, are signs of a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), which can kill quickly. Age doesn't have much to do with it - all it takes is for a blood clot to form in one of the veins in an extremity, breaking off and traveling to the lungs. If you're lucky, you survive. If not...
I was about 8 sat in class and I was coughing blood. Every time I coughed it sprayed a little blood onto my textbook. I went to the teacher and told him, he rolled his eyes and told me to sit back down :S Nothing ever came of it.... No one ever listens to me when I have health worries, it's almost like I'm immortal and everyone knows it but me....Either that or they secretly hope I will die soon :P
Not a doctor (related to some, though). Was having blood drawn for a test, and the person in the cubicle next to me also getting blood drawn asked the nurse to take if from somewhere other than his elbow. My nurse and I exchanged glances -- you could tell we both had the same thought, that this was a drug abuser who didn't want someone to see his track marks -- and then he says that it would hurt too much to tie the rubber band thing there. The nurse, just making conversation, asks if the skin is tender. He says something about an accident and material rustled and I figure he showed her something. A moment later she murmurs something, telling him to hold tight and not move, and I see her pass by my cubicle at a fast pace and absolutely sheet white. I don't know what she saw, but I heard voices at the reception desk, and a few minutes later I'm being asked to wait in my chair so I don't get in the way while some EMS guys show up and take him out on a gurney and stabilized in a cervical collar. I see EMS techs where I work on a regular basis, and these guys are the epitome of chill. This day? They looked as pale as the nurse. Whatever it was he showed them, it was that bad. That cervical collar, though ... I heard some disjointed comments from staff who forgot I was there, and questions about numbness, and I think this guy who'd walked in and quietly waited in line "to get something for his back pain" might've really hurt himself in his accident. Like, dislocated and/or broken arm hurt himself. Maybe spine damage. Yeah. He probably should've mentioned that accident a little earlier. Or maybe called an ambulance rather than head to a clinic. Just a thought.
The lactose memory thing helped me find out why I’ve been having such issues since I started putting dairy back in my diet, went to a doctor and turns out that I never grew out of my lactose intolerance like my previous doctor said
I'm a vet tech. Pet owners will notoriously not mention the actual important stuff. They are more worried over their little angel being a bit depressed than the puss leaking out of the vagina - I had exactly this particular case just a couple of days ago. Owner comes in and reports her dog is experiencing symptoms of pseudo prenancy again, lets me write everything into her file, sits down and after a coule of minutes calmly mentiones there's stuff leaking out from her behind, if we could take a look at that, too. Poor thing had a pyometra and required emergency surgery.
My grandmother didn't tell the hospital that my father had had a heart murmur since he was a baby. He ended up stuck there for a week before she told them.
Seriously about the weight loss tho. I lost a ton weight for no reason, but didn't get checked out for months until I got seriously sick. Turns out I'm a type 1 diabetic. The urgent care doctor said if I'd waited much longer I probably would have gone into a coma. Don't ignore things like that. Know your body, peeps, it's important.
When I was 14 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, after being rushed to hospital with severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Stayed there for 10 days. I had vomited extreme amounts before going to the hospital, so my throat was so corroded by the stomach acid that I was bleeding into my stomach (evidenced by the "coffee ground" vomit). Nothing severe, but extremely painful. My doctor was convinced I had herpes or some other STD in my throat, and asked me multiple times, both when my mom was there and when I was alone if I was sexually active. He also didn't really believe me when I said I didn't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs, because he also asked multiple times, both with mom and without mom there. It was really disturbing to experience... I didn't become sexually active until I was 21.
One morning I started to brush my teeth and noticed my tongue was black! Dark black! That was scary. Turns out it was caused from the pepto tablets I had eaten the night before.
I’m 21 and have had back problems since 16, an X-ray tech casually asks me if I had been told about my SIXTH LUMBAR VERTEBRAE HES ONLY SEEN IT ONE OTHER TIME IN HIS 15 YEARS .... turns out my pain all stems from a random genetic anomaly. Even weirder yet, I mentioned this to my group chat of college friends and it turns out one of them also has a sixth vertebrae. >10% of the population has this condition yet I found someone else!
I went to the ER with an irregular heartbeat a couple years ago. I have a fairly interesting cardiac history, and don't get too stressed about it anymore. I went through my whole history with the triage nurse and the attending, but forgot that the nurse in the ER didn't hear me. "wait... Why didn't you tell me you have an implanted defibrillator?" I forgot. Sorry.
Not a doctor, but patient wanted to see a Urologist. Appointment within 2 days. Patient was pissing blood and white clumps. Patient said appointment was too soon :(
I always remember to tell of my allergy to Ace Inhibitors. Took one for 7 years and then this happened. While in the hospital for something totally unrelated, developed angioedema after taking my blood pressure medicine. Throat swelled shut. Spent 3 weeks in ICU on a vent and 3 more weeks with a tracheotomy. Make sure family and friends know of allergies in case you are with them and you can’t speak.
I may have been one of these people - went into the doc for a follow up on my insomnia meds & casually mentioned how I have frequent severe night sweats (waking up soaked and reeking at least 3 days a week). Next thing I know I’m getting blood drawn and lab work ordered bc apparently that’s not normal for someone in their 20s
This is not medically related but omg: When I worked as a tax preparer, I was filling out a return for a woman who was complaining about the government not giving her the child benefit ($) for the past few months which almost never happens without a serious and valid reason. I asked questions, checked her CRA account, and was going to call the CRA for her myself. I was stumped because this shouldn't happen even if you owe money, but she didn't. I spent over half an hour trying to help her and asking if there's anything else that might explain this. I asked if it's possible that the father was getting it, etc. So I get my boss, who is on his break, to come check it out. Almost *immediately* she tells him that her child has been in foster care for months... We had to explain to her why she isn't getting money to take care of a child no longer in her care. She was all around very rude and odd, saying that she bets the Syrian government would treat her better than ours (?!?!?!) The worst part to me was that she was a middle school substitute teacher.
Imagine finding out you're pregnant 5 weeks away from the birth of the baby Edit: I'm later in the video now, but oh my God I'm lactose intolerant and forgetful, maybe I should try cutting out dairy.
I'm a very forgetful person, when I went vegan that went away and it felt like a god damn cloud was clearing in my skull. I'm no longer vegan (was deficient and had other problems), but I do think dairy might have played a huge role as I would always get sick afterwards. I'm known for being very sensitive things- I have a bad skin condition and nasty digestive digestive issues, so It's worth trying to cut out dairy from my diet again. If this helps, and I remember to comment again, I'll update. Thank you for putting that post in there.
@@TheAshypoo I feel amazing, my memory is much better, I still have some issues of course but they improved drastically. Thank you for the reminder, I tried to find the video last time but couldn't. I would recommend doing this. :D
@@TheAshypoo Its anecdotal, but I think if you have a similar issue then you should give it a shot. Things might even improve slightly. My digestion is also much better than before, and I feel better overall, but this is just my experience.
Front desk at Optometry office so I triage medical patients a lot. Mom mentioned her daughter has pupils of different sizes. Ok, that can happen and if they're born with it it's fine. It was new onset, not good. Then at almost the end of the convo she mentions her daughters pupil does not constrict in light. Ma'am... I had to tell her to call the ER and to not forget to mention the pupil not constricting. This poor kid has something neurological I'm almost sure, possibly a tumor on the optic nerve. It was Friday at 5:00 pm and this had been going on for 3 months bc the mom thought the kid was just messing with her but mom googled it and got scared. Yeah...
I also pooped black once but found out I was eating Cookies and Cream poptarts that have LOADS of artificial colors. Stopped when I ate something different.
I was the patient. I'm a cancer survivor and was on a lot of medications, when I first started college. Our college nurse had a list of all of my medications and a general run down of my cancer history. I got sick on the stomach and very constipated, so I went to see the nurse to ask her what I should take. To be safe, she sent me to a colleague, who was off campus and had more experience than she did. This colleague worked at an urgent care and when I walked in, the place was packed; there was standing room only. I signed in, walked back out to the main part of waiting room and must have looked rough, because a gentleman stood up and offered me his chair. I thanked him and sat down. I waited for four and a half hours, before I was taken in the back. A nurse came in, took my stats and medical history, asked if I had any foreign devices in my body. I told her I had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, on the right side of my head. She looked panicked. She told me to hold on, left the room, and another nurse came in. The second nurse said, "What do you have in your head?" I told her I was a cancer survivor and the tumor I had grew down into my spinal cord and blocked off the passageway for cerebral spinal fluid to drain out of my brain, causing a condition known as hydrocephalus. In order to fix hydrocephalus, I had to have what is known as a "ventriculoperitoneal shunt" installed. It's a device that has a tube which goes into the center of my brain, collects the cerebral spinal fluid, that then goes into a pouch, and as the pouch gets full the fluid is pushed down a tube, which runs down along my neck, beneath my rib cage, down to my bladder area, where it circles, then comes back up and empties into my stomach. This nurse said, "Dear, God!" And left the room. A doctor came in a few seconds later and asked what I had in my brain. I re-explained it to him. He asked me if I thought the shunt could be causing my stomach problems and I told him, "No, because when there's a problem with my shunt, the lining in my stomach burns and it felt fine." He said, "Right, got it," and left the room. I waited in the exam room roughly another 45 minutes, after the doctor left, and a different nurse comes in. She takes my stats and asks about my medical history. I explained to her that I'd already been through my medical history and the whole "foreign objects in my body" routine with three other people. She tells me that the shifts just changed and asks if I would mind telling her again. I lay out the situation with my cancer and ventriculoperitoneal shunt for the fourth time. The nurse told me that she would get the information to a doctor there immediately and get him in there to see me. A different doctor comes in a few minutes later and says he read my chart, knows about my shunt, and wants to run a CT scan on my stomach just to make sure my shunt is functioning correctly so they can rule that out, in regards to what's giving me stomach troubles. A radiologist comes to get me a few minutes later. I had the CT and the radiologist tells me to wait on the table, in case the doctor wanted more scans. I'm waiting on the table, when the radiologist runs crashing through the swinging doors and yells out, "Oh my God! No wonder you're sick! You've got this...this...this string...or line...or something that looks like it's running out from under your rib cage and down into your stomach area! Ugh!" I took a deep breath (to keep from screaming) and calmly said, "Yes. I know. I have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in my brain that drains into my stomach." The radiologist got a, "Huh?" look on her face and I stood up, put on my shoes, picked up my purse, and started to walk out. The radiologist yelled, "Don't forget to make a follow up appointment at the front desk!" I didn't follow up. I went down to the local Walmart, bought some OTC stomach meds, and called my neuro-oncologist the next day, to run the OTC meds by him.
12:10 I had a senior vet tech once tell about how she once had an entire family, parents + teen son, come in for a dog that obviously ate pot. She asks if there was any marijuana in the house the parents started yelling they don't have any drugs in the house while the son eyes just went wide and started sweating.
I was one of these people I did not tell my doctor that i had been coughing up mucus for about a year before having breathing trouble. I was diagnosed with asthma but after about 6 months of meds nothing worked, got a sweat test turns out I have late onset cystic fibrosis but no one in my family has symptoms but all of them are carriers so I won the lottery. yay. I’m writing this while doing my pt and I’m glad that I can breathe better now
I was one of those patients, sort of. I don't remember all the details of the doctor appointments, but in middle school, I started getting double vision. My left eye was going wonky, so I eventually had a surgery scheduled to adjust my eye muscles. It sounded a little off to me to do that, since the severity of the overlap wasn't constant, but I guess it hadn't been mentioned to the doctors. It was the last appointment before the surgery was scheduled when I brought up that in the minute or two right after I woke up in the morning, I didn't have double vision. As my mom puts it, you could see the gears turning in the doctor's mind. It turns out I have ocular myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease involving the neuromuscular junction around my left eye. After we found the meds that would work for me (there are at least three different kinds that can be used to treat MG), it went away for a while. I get slight double vision occasionally, now, especially if I need sleep, but it's not nearly as severe as it was originally, and I avoided a surgery that would have probably ruined my eyesight entirely, all because I realized soon enough that the doctors were missing a key detail. I think what was running through my mind when I finally brought it up was something about commenting/confirming how after the surgery my vision would be doubled for a couple minutes and then go normal. If on the off chance the doctor from that day reads this, I apologize for being one of /those/ patients, and thank you for directing me to the care I actually needed.
Glaucoma doesn't cause eye pain and causing vision loss takes years not days. It takes so slow to damage your eyes you wouldn't know it until it is to late usually. The build up of pressure is true.
I am a paramedic and I had a patient about 2 weeks ago and his daughter called 911 because his hemiparesthesia got suddenly worse about TWO DAYS ago and she‘s scared he could have another stroke... and after 10min she added „oh btw i don‘t know how important that is but he couldn‘t poop for a good WeEk“?!?!?!!?!

so my mom had a bad cold (vomiting,tired,etc) they thought is was a stomach infection. mom was sure it was a stomach infection. She went in for a ultrasound to see where the problem was exactly in her stomach.

1:15 my grandfather was an alcoholic. He stopped drinking because of his kids. But told everyone it was because he lost the taste of it. He died of liver cancer 3 months later
I've had something barely similar. I come in for the doctor appointment and it's one of my very forgetfull excited-over-nothing day. I'm stressed out because of my finals you know? I get there to check on my jaw primairly. Completely forget about other issues we had talked about before and actually needed check ups. Then my doctors looks at me right in the eyes with a small smile: - do you have a history of ADHD? - i look back in silence. Then laugh awkwardly and say "apparently not?" She gives me some papers to fill out and recommend me some lectures. I'm reluctant. I'm a 25 years old female, very good grades in computer science, can maintain a job and a relationship and all. I'm not a 5 years old boy yelling and jumping on his chair you know? Obviously? Turns out, the more i read about it, and how it actually is for female and / or grown ups, and how it does fall under the radar when some of them are young... And how my mom tells me "well... You couldn't have been because you've always been like that and me too! It's our normal and how we are. It can't be a genetic disorder!" Weeeeell.... We'll have a lot to talk about because damn all those signs that we're always f***ing there! When you actually know what to look for.
Once i had this big lump on the back of my ear, just behind my earlobe. It was originally a small pimple or some acne-like blemish, but due to my piercings, it had gotten infected and started to grow. I was talking to my doctor about how long it had been there, where it was bothering me, etc. I casually mentioned that there was this weird spot to the side of it that i couldn't tell if it was supposed to be there or not. He takes a look, asks if I've had any headaches, sweating, or fever. I say yes to the first two, and he immediately prescribes me 20 days of clindamycin for cellulitis, and tells me to go to the ER immediately if i get any sort of fever. Not sure what prompted it, but it scared me how quickly he got serious about it. Went from "hm that's a funky lump" to "ok so you might die"

10:42 Holy crap. I developed lactose intolerance around when I was 18, but I've been consuming dairy anyway because I don't really care about the pain/bathroom problems. But my memory has been on a steady decline since around that time. I seriously wonder if this is connected. I'm going to stop consuming dairy for a while and see if it helps. I doubt it will, but it'd be a miracle if it does.
Unintentional weight loss. I'm 20-something pounds overweight, so my doctor was glad to see it, though i wasnt using any weight loss methods. Weeks later got diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and was sent to a partial hospitalization program for my symptoms. I wondered why she was so O.K. with me losing weight even though i didnt know why.
That one about the woman at the gyno and her metastasized skin cancer was so sad. I can just imagine this young woman, truly just hoping for the best only to be left disappointed, knowing she was going to die
Mine's the opposite issue. Nurse asks "So any nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, joint pain, muscle pain, fatigue, or loss of appetite?" Me: Yes Nurse: Which? Me: All Nurse: Oh no, you must feel awful, the doctor will see you soon! Me: WAIT! All that is normal for me. I'm here because I think I broke my wrist. Nurse: ... .... .... Umm...I need to go over your medical history. Me: Ffs not again! This is what honesty gets me *every* damn time.

I lost 15kg in 3 months due to dieting in prep for spinal surgery but uhh i forgot to tell them id been dieting and exercising so when they weighed me the day prior to surgery they kinda freaked out and sent me to do a bunch of tests until someone explained why and i was like oh shit nah fam it was on purpose So kinda opposite story aha
Boyfriend went to hospital with bleeding in the ears. He assumed it was to do with work headphones . I got angry at him being so non caring so we went to A&E. They dismissed him, said he was ok after 5 hours of waiting. I asked the nurse as he was leaving if he told her brain aneurysms run in his immediate family (his mother and uncles). She gave him a side eye I've never experienced and grabbed his arm for an overnight stay. He'd actually had a minor stroke.

I know a family. They're incredibly strong, to the point where their eldest son is actually an olympian. Needless to say they have some serious pain tolerance, however they are also generally polite in a buddy-buddy kind of way and do not like to waste other people's time. They've got a reputation at the local hospital; if one of them comes in to the emergency room saying that they're hurting at all, even if they do not seem distressed, they must be treated IMMEDIATELY. This is because their pain tolerance is SO HIGH and their tempermant SO NICE that they will wave off any fatal injury as almost completely unimportant. They WILL allow themselves to bleed out in the wait room, utterly unperturbed by the severity of their injuries. Some receptionists do not know the faces of this family, so when they tell the doctors the name of the waiting clients the doctors always freak out and demand they be sent in NOW.

This is not an exaggeration. Receptionist didn't know how serious the injury was because she was so calm and was putting pressure on the wound. She could have bled out in that wait room if the doctor hadn't immediately ushered her in due to past incidents.
Yeah and I'm their exact opposite. My pain tolerance is so low that slightly bumping my arm against something feels like I broke it. Just resting my elbow on another body part can be incredibly painful. Totally sucks.
Sadly I've heard the opposite happening too- patients complaining about an issue, an incompetent doctor shrugging it off, and the issue turning out to be something very serious. If you feel something is wrong and the doctor doesn't care about your concerns, get a second opinion. It could save you, your child, whoever.

Long story on why I hate this one family doctor. It's a running joke at this point. "Diagnosed" me with depression when I was 15 and made me take antidepressants. Turns out I'm bipolar. My baby brother had a really bad cough and chest pain - gave him some cough syrup and the same night he had to be taken to the hospital. It was tuberculosis. A lot of people were sick with it at the time too. My mom ended up sick almost half a year later with the same issue. As soon as she was having the last exams to make sure everything was fine, she was feeling some pain and asked him - he says "It's just some leftover pain". It was actually lung cancer and she found out by chance by having a hospital doctor see her exams
Micaela Santos Well, dang! Doctors like that make me sick. Some doctors just can't recognize that they're not infallible. How's everyone doing now?
Thank you for asking. My brother is healthy now, it's been seven years or so. I'm still having some issues with the right meds because it took me a while to be diagnosed. My mother is a really weird luck?? case because she had tuberculosis again right after fighting cancer and is "ok" now, just needs to be careful
Ok well shit I wish I had these competent doctors around when I was younger. I almost died at 8 years old cuz a doctor diagnosed me with a bad stomach bug instead of a ruptured appendix.
I had appendicitis, but someone passed it off as me having eaten too much pasta. Good thing my mom knew what was actually going on.
Edited: it wasn't my grandmother actually, don't remember who it was
I had something similar happen. Was 7 and in excruciating pain for three days. At the ER the Dr said it was constipation. Second ER put me in surgery for appendicitis. You're in good company.
Rina Berman my entire family is like that, but the excuse for every pain I get is because apparently I don't drink enough water. Sore legs? Drink water. Puking? Drink water. Dizzy and lightheaded all the time? _DrInK wAtEr_

Same! In 2015 I went in and the doctor told me it was a stomach bug however she did say that if after I took the medication the pain continued to go to the ER that same night it got worse I arrived almost passing out from the pain and tachycardic I had to be controlled with medication and needed to have exploratory surgery
My surgeon told me when I woke up that after they put in the camera they could not see anything because it had ruptured and went into emergency surgery
my grandpa once called my dad in a panic because he was hallucinating. we go to his house and he was totally loopy. he was talking about how beautiful all the colors were, and the happiness everywhere, etc. we were calling his doctor, drug companies, etc. all night, until my grandpa finally says,

Honestly, at lot of this comes from people being afraid to talk about symptoms that they think aren't important because they don't want anyone to think that they're whiny. I'm not making an excuse for it, mind you; it's actually a major problem since some people don't even realize that they need medical attention because they think "I'm fine, it's nothing, and I shouldn't complain about it."
I've spent most of my life seeing a psychiatrist regularly (still do, in case my meds need to be adjusted) and it had never occurred to mention anything I was feeling aside from insomnia and difficulty with concentration until my dad insisted on attending a psychiatry appointment with me because my mental state was deteriorating. About a month before that he sat down and talked to me about how I was doing and I told him about how depressed I had been for the past several years. My mom took me shopping for groceries a few days later (which she usually does once a week) and, after telling me that my dad had almost cried when talking to her the day after our talk, she said "well, if that's not true then stop telling him that, and it if _is_ true, then keep telling him that."
It turns out that a large part of what I was struggling with was emotional fatigue (which I hadn't dealt with because I didn't think it was an actual problem) which was only exacerbated by the fact that I'm autistic. I'm doing much better now, but I still regret not seeking help for those problems almost a decade ago.
I'm not sure if this is really a good place to post this, but I wanted to get it off my chest because, well, I've _been_ one of those patients. Sometimes it isn't people being stupid; sometimes, they're ashamed of themselves or afraid that they're complaining about nothing.
Damn, that hit hard for me. When I was younger, I'd mention to my mom all these different issues I had, and she'd always say that I'm too young to have so many issues and that medicine is expensive, so I felt guilty and eventually stopped talking about all problems I had. Turns out I'm not just a moody teenager and that I actually might have depression, social anxiety, an eating disorder, and a kneecap that pops out of place which isn't normal (who knew)... But I tell this to my mom, she's gonna give an entire hour long speech on how much money I'm gonna cost her with treatment, making me feel guilty. Welp..

When I was a kid, I used to get dirt cravings. I'd really want to eat but I knew better than to eat dirt, so I didn't. I had mild recurrences but it wasn't hard to resist.
Then when I was pregnant with my daughter, the dirt cravings returned and were persistent. My appointments with my OB/GYN were so fast and quickly went over my results and sent me on my way. I didn't think about it. I was worried that I wasn't gaining weight at the rate I should be and I didn't want a lot of normal food. Red meat made me nauseous. Eating was a massive effort and I was chomping on ice to deal with the dirt cravings. Toward the end of the pregnancy, my palms started getting itchy, the cravings got worse. But then appointments were all about my OB/GYN talking about the delivery and lectures about my lack of weight gain. I didn't get a chance to say much although I did bring up that I was itchy. My doctor told me most pregnant women deal with itchiness. After my daughter was born, the itchiness stopped instantly and the dirt cravings gradually eased off. I still had problems with being underweight until she finally weened when she turned one. Then I got back up to a healthy weight and I was pleased with myself.
Then when I was pregnant with my second child, I went to a midwife. She would sit and chat with me each appointment. No rush. She'd ask questions each appointment and we discussed that I'd been losing weight again this pregnancy. She slowed down and discussed what I was eating and my food aversions and cravings. She sent me for blood tests and got a referral. I had aenemia triggered PICA. Low iron levels can cause eating disorders. I was sent to a nutritionist and got help.
Then the itching returned. During one of my long appointments with my midwife, I brought up that my palms were itchy. Again, she sent me for blood tests. First round unhelpful and in the meantime, the itching spread and my skin started to feel extremely sensitive and other symptoms started to crop up. Long story short, I had Intraheptic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. It's rare in the general population but more common among Scandinavians.
I don't think it was stupidity that I didn't tell my doctor about craving dirt and I did tell my doctor that I was itchy. I think when doctors have a lot of patients and are going through them quickly, they inevitably miss things. It's one of the reasons I think midwives are so good at catching things that doctors miss. They're not better diagnostician's, they just have more time to build report and gain relevant patient information. My kids are healthy and well, so that's all that matters.

Unintentional weight loss? Best friend went behind my back to tell my mom she thought I was anorexic. Mom asked me, I denied it. She asked what I'd eaten the past few days. I thought for a moment, then went *oh crap*. I hadn't been eating. Yes, AT ALL. Just wasn't hungry.
Turns out gall bladder said "fuck you" and any attempt to put food in my mouth resulted in vomiting. Being able to eat a single twizzler was a miracle, and my only calories were a glass of milk or Sprite if I could manage it. Went through so dang many tests. One problem was because I had another symptom - major joint pain - leading to a misdiagnosis of Lyme disease, but the test came back negative. Doctor handed over Lyrica for fibromyalgia. Instantaneously the pain was all but gone.
Eventually was sent for an ultrasound. Stupid receptionist thought it was just teen pregnancy (I was 17 being dragged by my mom, since I could barely walk). Blood tests were ran, and they did a bile injection % test. Bile% was negligible. Blood test, for all 20 categories, was squarely in the "healthy" range but my carbs were a bit high - of healthy people, 5% of the time they'll be outside "healthy range" and the doctor thought it was funny I was in the range for all of them. It's possible, just statistically pretty rare.
So they scheduled me to have the gall bladder removed. I'm weird, and asked after the surgery if I could see it. Nope. They did tell me it was packed with crystals, though (gall stones run in the family).
I think I lost more than 50 pounds, and in less than 4 months. 9 years later I still haven't gained all of it back, even if I eat like a pig.
Transformers2Fan1 I feel very bad for your situation but being able to eat like a pig sounds fun
That's terrifying, glad you're okay! The year I first met my now-husband, he started having a lot of vomiting and digestive issues, and over 3 months with the doctors not figuring it out he lost 30+ lbs starting out skinny and couldn't even sit up from being so weak. It finally ended up being ulcerative colitis, and he's much better now, but dang that was scary for a while there
Thank goodness for your friend.
You are lucky to have such a good, observant, friend ^^ I had obvious symptoms of my condition when I was a kid, and the only one who noticed was my family doctor (was taken for visits pretty infrequently at the time)..

I have so many symptoms that it's hard to keep track of them all. So, I understand that it's easy to forget things. Every time I see my gp she learns something new and says "why didn't you say something sooner?" I always reply with "I have memory issues and a lot of symptoms. Can I be tested for autoimmune encephalitis now?"
You should keep a note on your phone, mine is titled “Doctor”, and anytime I notice anything off or remember something, I write it down there. When I see the doctor I straight up take out my phone and say “let me check my notes”, never forget anything that way.
We had a patient in ENT who came in because he “couldn't taste salt anymore“. He had been to another doc before who didn't take him seriously and said that his partial loss of taste was side effect of some of the medicine he was taking. What the patient failed to mention at first was that he lost over 11kg (24 lbs) in roughly 4 weeks. His explanation for this was that he ate less because nothing tasted good anymore. It actually was stage 2 oropharyngeal carcinoma.
Patient: I feel really lightheaded.
Doctor: Is there anything else you can tell me that might help diagnose what’s going on?
Patient: No not that I can think of... Oh wait I forgot! I accidentally sawed my own hand off! Sorry I’m so forgetful!
Doctor: No sir I think I think that’s from the blood loss.
Patient: Blood loss??? What do you mean blood loss? Oh that explains why my shirt is completely red! I thought I just forgot I changed from a white shirt to a red shirt! Did I ever tell you that I’m very forgetful?
Doctor: 🤦♂️
Shock is one hell of a drug
I'm literally lactose intolerant but have been eating dairy lately and been so forgetful and tired and holy crap. How did I not know this
The real shitty thing is when you actually tell doctors what’s going on, and they totally brush you off. I would say that scenario is far more common.
This doc stuff is so difficult. Like what are ppl supposed to do? They always encourage you to book an appointment whenever you notice something unusual, but if you do exactly that you’re suddenly overly anxious. But when you don’t, you’re stupid.
10:09 I have a type of lactose intolerance that causes me to have extreme mood swings, violent thoughts or actions, complete loss of reason, and so much rage I can't think straight and I foam at the mouth. Fun times
I didn't know lactose is some kind of stimulan. That's new.
@@iceseic Yeah I've had it all my life along with extreme depression ever since I was a little kid until I cut it all out
@Ícaro Thomás There's no cure for lactose intolerance, just diet.
@Ícaro Thomás Just the diet. I have never heard of a treatment for it. I can take lactaid for a lesser reaction but it just isn't worth it. Besides, in my case, it's genetic. I don't have celiac disease but my aunt has very bad celiac disease to the point where she can't have wheat, dairy, or even grains
@Ícaro Thomás no. Humans are actually not made for consuming dairy - if you stop consuming it, for example, you'll also develop intolerance.
I will never understand how women don’t know they’re pregnant.
Right? Don't you miss your period??? If It comes only 1 day late i beggin to panic
I've never dated a woman that had actual regular periods. Most went months without having one or just had constant spotting.
Rusty Jones the pill can do that to certain women.
@@rustyjones7908 Also being very thin or dieting can do that. In 38 years I have missed two times and one late (without being pregnant).

Not a doctor, but back when I was in HS the kid next to me was coughing a lot. Then the class saw he was coughing blood. Not a lot, but it was blood. No one thought to say anything to him. Even the teacher. I, thinking why isn't anyone saying anything, tell the guy to go to the nurse because he's fucking coughing blood. He turns to me and ask is that bad. Stunned I say yes, coughing blood isn't normal. Teacher let's him go. Don't know what happened to him.
It still shocks me no one spoke up or that the kid didn't think coughing up blood was bad. I know it can be something minor if your young and all, but it's not normal. Never seen anyone else do this. I personally have nasal issues and allergies and would sometimes have a bloody nose from dry air and sneezing a lot, but coughing up blood isn't as normal as a bloody nose right?
It is best to be safe. Coughing up blood, especially with constant coughing and shortness of breath, are signs of a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), which can kill quickly. Age doesn't have much to do with it - all it takes is for a blood clot to form in one of the veins in an extremity, breaking off and traveling to the lungs. If you're lucky, you survive. If not...
The darker it is, the more oxygenated it is. (The longer it's been exposed to oxygen)
@@yaylife171 other way around my friend. Bright red = Oxygen. Dark red = less Oxygen.
Glenn Heaney Although old blood may look darker if it’s started to clot.
I was about 8 sat in class and I was coughing blood. Every time I coughed it sprayed a little blood onto my textbook. I went to the teacher and told him, he rolled his eyes and told me to sit back down :S Nothing ever came of it.... No one ever listens to me when I have health worries, it's almost like I'm immortal and everyone knows it but me....Either that or they secretly hope I will die soon :P
Not a doctor (related to some, though). Was having blood drawn for a test, and the person in the cubicle next to me also getting blood drawn asked the nurse to take if from somewhere other than his elbow. My nurse and I exchanged glances -- you could tell we both had the same thought, that this was a drug abuser who didn't want someone to see his track marks -- and then he says that it would hurt too much to tie the rubber band thing there. The nurse, just making conversation, asks if the skin is tender. He says something about an accident and material rustled and I figure he showed her something. A moment later she murmurs something, telling him to hold tight and not move, and I see her pass by my cubicle at a fast pace and absolutely sheet white.
I don't know what she saw, but I heard voices at the reception desk, and a few minutes later I'm being asked to wait in my chair so I don't get in the way while some EMS guys show up and take him out on a gurney and stabilized in a cervical collar.
I see EMS techs where I work on a regular basis, and these guys are the epitome of chill. This day? They looked as pale as the nurse. Whatever it was he showed them, it was that bad. That cervical collar, though ... I heard some disjointed comments from staff who forgot I was there, and questions about numbness, and I think this guy who'd walked in and quietly waited in line "to get something for his back pain" might've really hurt himself in his accident. Like, dislocated and/or broken arm hurt himself. Maybe spine damage.
Yeah. He probably should've mentioned that accident a little earlier. Or maybe called an ambulance rather than head to a clinic. Just a thought.
The lactose memory thing helped me find out why I’ve been having such issues since I started putting dairy back in my diet, went to a doctor and turns out that I never grew out of my lactose intolerance like my previous doctor said
I'm a vet tech. Pet owners will notoriously not mention the actual important stuff. They are more worried over their little angel being a bit depressed than the puss leaking out of the vagina - I had exactly this particular case just a couple of days ago. Owner comes in and reports her dog is experiencing symptoms of pseudo prenancy again, lets me write everything into her file, sits down and after a coule of minutes calmly mentiones there's stuff leaking out from her behind, if we could take a look at that, too. Poor thing had a pyometra and required emergency surgery.
Me, 10 seconds ago: What's a tracking abscess? I'll google it.
Me, now: That was a bad idea.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad was it?
I'm sensitive, I shouldn't... I didn't think of googleing it, but now I will...
What is it? You made me scared
My grandmother didn't tell the hospital that my father had had a heart murmur since he was a baby. He ended up stuck there for a week before she told them.
Happy music
*her life expectancy was probably measured in months*
Seriously about the weight loss tho. I lost a ton weight for no reason, but didn't get checked out for months until I got seriously sick. Turns out I'm a type 1 diabetic. The urgent care doctor said if I'd waited much longer I probably would have gone into a coma. Don't ignore things like that. Know your body, peeps, it's important.

These comments remind me of my aunt. She has asthma and thought the appropriate way to use inhalers in over the chest😬
Why
That was on doctor house
@@Felixkeeg on doctor house to woman put it on her neck. At least my aunt realised it had something to do with her lungs
As an asthmatic myself.... What? Please tell me someone explained inhaler logic to her... 😢
When I was 14 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, after being rushed to hospital with severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Stayed there for 10 days. I had vomited extreme amounts before going to the hospital, so my throat was so corroded by the stomach acid that I was bleeding into my stomach (evidenced by the "coffee ground" vomit). Nothing severe, but extremely painful. My doctor was convinced I had herpes or some other STD in my throat, and asked me multiple times, both when my mom was there and when I was alone if I was sexually active. He also didn't really believe me when I said I didn't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs, because he also asked multiple times, both with mom and without mom there. It was really disturbing to experience... I didn't become sexually active until I was 21.
One morning I started to brush my teeth and noticed my tongue was black! Dark black! That was scary. Turns out it was caused from the pepto tablets I had eaten the night before.
I’m 21 and have had back problems since 16, an X-ray tech casually asks me if I had been told about my SIXTH LUMBAR VERTEBRAE HES ONLY SEEN IT ONE OTHER TIME IN HIS 15 YEARS .... turns out my pain all stems from a random genetic anomaly. Even weirder yet, I mentioned this to my group chat of college friends and it turns out one of them also has a sixth vertebrae. >10% of the population has this condition yet I found someone else!

I went to the ER with an irregular heartbeat a couple years ago. I have a fairly interesting cardiac history, and don't get too stressed about it anymore. I went through my whole history with the triage nurse and the attending, but forgot that the nurse in the ER didn't hear me. "wait... Why didn't you tell me you have an implanted defibrillator?" I forgot. Sorry.
Not a doctor, but patient wanted to see a Urologist. Appointment within 2 days. Patient was pissing blood and white clumps. Patient said appointment was too soon :(
The one of the woman that didn't know she was pregnant made me angry and I don't even know why
I always remember to tell of my allergy to Ace Inhibitors. Took one for 7 years and then this happened. While in the hospital for something totally unrelated, developed angioedema after taking my blood pressure medicine. Throat swelled shut. Spent 3 weeks in ICU on a vent and 3 more weeks with a tracheotomy. Make sure family and friends know of allergies in case you are with them and you can’t speak.
Are we just going to ignore the back that the dog at the end is KERMIT! (Jenna marbles dog)

I may have been one of these people - went into the doc for a follow up on my insomnia meds & casually mentioned how I have frequent severe night sweats (waking up soaked and reeking at least 3 days a week). Next thing I know I’m getting blood drawn and lab work ordered bc apparently that’s not normal for someone in their 20s
This is not medically related but omg:
When I worked as a tax preparer, I was filling out a return for a woman who was complaining about the government not giving her the child benefit ($) for the past few months which almost never happens without a serious and valid reason. I asked questions, checked her CRA account, and was going to call the CRA for her myself. I was stumped because this shouldn't happen even if you owe money, but she didn't. I spent over half an hour trying to help her and asking if there's anything else that might explain this. I asked if it's possible that the father was getting it, etc.
So I get my boss, who is on his break, to come check it out. Almost *immediately* she tells him that her child has been in foster care for months... We had to explain to her why she isn't getting money to take care of a child no longer in her care. She was all around very rude and odd, saying that she bets the Syrian government would treat her better than ours (?!?!?!)
The worst part to me was that she was a middle school substitute teacher.
Imagine finding out you're pregnant 5 weeks away from the birth of the baby
Edit: I'm later in the video now, but oh my God I'm lactose intolerant and forgetful, maybe I should try cutting out dairy.
I'm a very forgetful person, when I went vegan that went away and it felt like a god damn cloud was clearing in my skull. I'm no longer vegan (was deficient and had other problems), but I do think dairy might have played a huge role as I would always get sick afterwards. I'm known for being very sensitive things- I have a bad skin condition and nasty digestive digestive issues, so It's worth trying to cut out dairy from my diet again. If this helps, and I remember to comment again, I'll update. Thank you for putting that post in there.
Reminder for you to update : )
@@gcjas1998 So far I seem to be doing alright, my digestion seems to be slightly better, so I'll give it more time. Thank you :D

Front desk at Optometry office so I triage medical patients a lot. Mom mentioned her daughter has pupils of different sizes. Ok, that can happen and if they're born with it it's fine. It was new onset, not good. Then at almost the end of the convo she mentions her daughters pupil does not constrict in light. Ma'am... I had to tell her to call the ER and to not forget to mention the pupil not constricting. This poor kid has something neurological I'm almost sure, possibly a tumor on the optic nerve. It was Friday at 5:00 pm and this had been going on for 3 months bc the mom thought the kid was just messing with her but mom googled it and got scared. Yeah...
I also pooped black once but found out I was eating Cookies and Cream poptarts that have LOADS of artificial colors. Stopped when I ate something different.

I was the patient. I'm a cancer survivor and was on a lot of medications, when I first started college. Our college nurse had a list of all of my medications and a general run down of my cancer history.
I got sick on the stomach and very constipated, so I went to see the nurse to ask her what I should take. To be safe, she sent me to a colleague, who was off campus and had more experience than she did.
This colleague worked at an urgent care and when I walked in, the place was packed; there was standing room only. I signed in, walked back out to the main part of waiting room and must have looked rough, because a gentleman stood up and offered me his chair. I thanked him and sat down.
I waited for four and a half hours, before I was taken in the back. A nurse came in, took my stats and medical history, asked if I had any foreign devices in my body. I told her I had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, on the right side of my head. She looked panicked. She told me to hold on, left the room, and another nurse came in. The second nurse said, "What do you have in your head?"
I told her I was a cancer survivor and the tumor I had grew down into my spinal cord and blocked off the passageway for cerebral spinal fluid to drain out of my brain, causing a condition known as hydrocephalus. In order to fix hydrocephalus, I had to have what is known as a "ventriculoperitoneal shunt" installed. It's a device that has a tube which goes into the center of my brain, collects the cerebral spinal fluid, that then goes into a pouch, and as the pouch gets full the fluid is pushed down a tube, which runs down along my neck, beneath my rib cage, down to my bladder area, where it circles, then comes back up and empties into my stomach. This nurse said, "Dear, God!" And left the room.
A doctor came in a few seconds later and asked what I had in my brain. I re-explained it to him. He asked me if I thought the shunt could be causing my stomach problems and I told him, "No, because when there's a problem with my shunt, the lining in my stomach burns and it felt fine."
He said, "Right, got it," and left the room.
I waited in the exam room roughly another 45 minutes, after the doctor left, and a different nurse comes in. She takes my stats and asks about my medical history. I explained to her that I'd already been through my medical history and the whole "foreign objects in my body" routine with three other people. She tells me that the shifts just changed and asks if I would mind telling her again. I lay out the situation with my cancer and ventriculoperitoneal shunt for the fourth time. The nurse told me that she would get the information to a doctor there immediately and get him in there to see me.
A different doctor comes in a few minutes later and says he read my chart, knows about my shunt, and wants to run a CT scan on my stomach just to make sure my shunt is functioning correctly so they can rule that out, in regards to what's giving me stomach troubles. A radiologist comes to get me a few minutes later.
I had the CT and the radiologist tells me to wait on the table, in case the doctor wanted more scans.
I'm waiting on the table, when the radiologist runs crashing through the swinging doors and yells out, "Oh my God! No wonder you're sick! You've got this...this...this string...or line...or something that looks like it's running out from under your rib cage and down into your stomach area! Ugh!"
I took a deep breath (to keep from screaming) and calmly said, "Yes. I know. I have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in my brain that drains into my stomach." The radiologist got a, "Huh?" look on her face and I stood up, put on my shoes, picked up my purse, and started to walk out.
The radiologist yelled, "Don't forget to make a follow up appointment at the front desk!"
I didn't follow up. I went down to the local Walmart, bought some OTC stomach meds, and called my neuro-oncologist the next day, to run the OTC meds by him.

I was one of these people
I did not tell my doctor that i had been coughing up mucus for about a year before having breathing trouble. I was diagnosed with asthma but after about 6 months of meds nothing worked, got a sweat test turns out I have late onset cystic fibrosis but no one in my family has symptoms but all of them are carriers so I won the lottery. yay. I’m writing this while doing my pt and I’m glad that I can breathe better now
I was one of those patients, sort of. I don't remember all the details of the doctor appointments, but in middle school, I started getting double vision. My left eye was going wonky, so I eventually had a surgery scheduled to adjust my eye muscles. It sounded a little off to me to do that, since the severity of the overlap wasn't constant, but I guess it hadn't been mentioned to the doctors. It was the last appointment before the surgery was scheduled when I brought up that in the minute or two right after I woke up in the morning, I didn't have double vision. As my mom puts it, you could see the gears turning in the doctor's mind. It turns out I have ocular myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease involving the neuromuscular junction around my left eye. After we found the meds that would work for me (there are at least three different kinds that can be used to treat MG), it went away for a while. I get slight double vision occasionally, now, especially if I need sleep, but it's not nearly as severe as it was originally, and I avoided a surgery that would have probably ruined my eyesight entirely, all because I realized soon enough that the doctors were missing a key detail. I think what was running through my mind when I finally brought it up was something about commenting/confirming how after the surgery my vision would be doubled for a couple minutes and then go normal. If on the off chance the doctor from that day reads this, I apologize for being one of /those/ patients, and thank you for directing me to the care I actually needed.

I laughed so hard and paused the video and called my mom to tell her and she too, died from laughter
I'm willing to bet that by now, that Redditor who thought higher blood pressure being a good thing is regretting that.
Glaucoma doesn't cause eye pain and causing vision loss takes years not days. It takes so slow to damage your eyes you wouldn't know it until it is to late usually. The build up of pressure is true.
Sometimes the swelling if it's bad enough can put pressure on nerves and cause vision loss that way
There's Acute Glaucoma and Chronic Glaucoma , you're describing the Chronic one , Acute Glaucoma could cause rapid vision loss .
I am a paramedic and I had a patient about 2 weeks ago and his daughter called 911 because his hemiparesthesia got suddenly worse about TWO DAYS ago and she‘s scared he could have another stroke... and after 10min she added „oh btw i don‘t know how important that is but he couldn‘t poop for a good WeEk“?!?!?!!?!

The one upside to having health anxiety (hypochondria) is that I report every little thing to my doctor. Usually it’s nothing, but at least I know he won’t miss something important should it arise.
so my mom had a bad cold (vomiting,tired,etc) they thought is was a stomach infection. mom was sure it was a stomach infection. She went in for a ultrasound to see where the problem was exactly in her stomach. As a joke as she was leaving i said "hope its not another kid" (i have 3 siblings) so she gets the ultrasound done AND GUESS WHAT i now have 4 siblings
My teacher(well former teacher) Said that her mom didn't know she was pregnet until like 7-8 months in the pregnacy
1:15 my grandfather was an alcoholic. He stopped drinking because of his kids. But told everyone it was because he lost the taste of it. He died of liver cancer 3 months later
I've had something barely similar. I come in for the doctor appointment and it's one of my very forgetfull excited-over-nothing day. I'm stressed out because of my finals you know? I get there to check on my jaw primairly. Completely forget about other issues we had talked about before and actually needed check ups.
Then my doctors looks at me right in the eyes with a small smile:
- do you have a history of ADHD?
- i look back in silence. Then laugh awkwardly and say "apparently not?"
She gives me some papers to fill out and recommend me some lectures. I'm reluctant. I'm a 25 years old female, very good grades in computer science, can maintain a job and a relationship and all. I'm not a 5 years old boy yelling and jumping on his chair you know? Obviously?
Turns out, the more i read about it, and how it actually is for female and / or grown ups, and how it does fall under the radar when some of them are young... And how my mom tells me "well... You couldn't have been because you've always been like that and me too! It's our normal and how we are. It can't be a genetic disorder!"
Weeeeell.... We'll have a lot to talk about because damn all those signs that we're always f***ing there! When you actually know what to look for.
5:04 I really wish this was advertised more to the public, as that was the symptom my grandmother had before she died of a heart attack.
Once i had this big lump on the back of my ear, just behind my earlobe. It was originally a small pimple or some acne-like blemish, but due to my piercings, it had gotten infected and started to grow. I was talking to my doctor about how long it had been there, where it was bothering me, etc. I casually mentioned that there was this weird spot to the side of it that i couldn't tell if it was supposed to be there or not. He takes a look, asks if I've had any headaches, sweating, or fever. I say yes to the first two, and he immediately prescribes me 20 days of clindamycin for cellulitis, and tells me to go to the ER immediately if i get any sort of fever. Not sure what prompted it, but it scared me how quickly he got serious about it. Went from "hm that's a funky lump" to "ok so you might die"

Apparently my high pain tolerance and complete lack of flinching around needles is a really fucking solid sign of chronic pain. Also I thought your legs going all numb and clumsy when you run beyond a certain speed was normal and happened to everyone. But it turns out I'm not just clumsy, my joints are fucked.
10:42 Holy crap. I developed lactose intolerance around when I was 18, but I've been consuming dairy anyway because I don't really care about the pain/bathroom problems. But my memory has been on a steady decline since around that time. I seriously wonder if this is connected. I'm going to stop consuming dairy for a while and see if it helps. I doubt it will, but it'd be a miracle if it does.
Any update on that? Did you stop dairy products?
Unintentional weight loss. I'm 20-something pounds overweight, so my doctor was glad to see it, though i wasnt using any weight loss methods. Weeks later got diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and was sent to a partial hospitalization program for my symptoms. I wondered why she was so O.K. with me losing weight even though i didnt know why.

Me: Yes
Nurse: Which?
Me: All

Holly poop what I am now cutting all dairy to see if I start remembering stuff. Dam if cheese is why I forgot everything I’m going to go crazy on wine and cheese after a bad day.
I lost 15kg in 3 months due to dieting in prep for spinal surgery but uhh i forgot to tell them id been dieting and exercising so when they weighed me the day prior to surgery they kinda freaked out and sent me to do a bunch of tests until someone explained why and i was like oh shit nah fam it was on purpose
So kinda opposite story aha
Boyfriend went to hospital with bleeding in the ears. He assumed it was to do with work headphones . I got angry at him being so non caring so we went to A&E. They dismissed him, said he was ok after 5 hours of waiting. I asked the nurse as he was leaving if he told her brain aneurysms run in his immediate family (his mother and uncles). She gave him a side eye I've never experienced and grabbed his arm for an overnight stay. He'd actually had a minor stroke.
