Exactly. Too many people think that extreme pain is normal during menstruation, but it's not. If it's to the point you can't move or you pass out (or even just 'nearly' pass out), it's worth seeking medical attention. Might not be endometriosis, but even then, there's a whole host of other possibilities, none worth living with.
Theres more cases then just endometriosis. There was a woman complaining of pain like that but actually had am embro attach in the fallopian tube. The lady is fine now, but cant have kids.
Melody McDaniel Absolutely, I knew a girl once who thought they were just particularly unlucky and had very painful cycles naturally. Turns out it was PCOS and they had cysts all over their ovaries.
I used to throw up and pass out all the time from my cramps. My mom just told me to suck it up. I missed so much school over it. When I moved into my dads house, he found me on the floor in a puddle of puke and period blood. He helped me schedule an appointment to see a gynecologist and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. She had me get on strong birth control and now I barely have anything during my period. It's nice to have my life back.
6:00 the parents of that child won't make it to the end of their prison sentence, at least not without lasting injuries far worse than what that unfortunate toddler has to endure.
if there was ever a justification for crashing into the ER, your younger brother getting gutshot probably qualifies, hope the judge took that into account.
When it was finalized that my aunt was indeed brain dead, I was the one that had to decide on organ donation. Her death was able to help 8 people. I miss her every day, but I'm very happy about that. It's rough though.
I'm glad you live in a nice community to which you're happy to donate. I was a huge advocate of donation, but I've opted out now. I've had some awful negative life changing situations regarding other people, had to move house because of a stalker, dealt with sleazy policemen, been scammed out of money, amongst numerous other things. I came to the conclusion that no one is having my organs. I am not donating to help these individuals in society. I get so angry when I see in the news a mother asking for organs for her child. Only once have I seen a mother upset that another child has to die for this to happen and for her child to survive. The rest are demanding, entitled, impatient and unempathetic in expecting another child's organs. Our organs are precious treasures that are a gift to other people. Usually other people are only nice when they want those organs, and some are downright unpleasant
@@vmm5163 I'm sorry you've had to go through that. I really am. My whole attitude towards it is, hey... I'm not going to be using them anymore, hopefully it will help others in my passing. You know? It's not my place to judge those who get my organs because I'll be dead. I can only hope they take the new chance at life and do something good with it. If not, well, that's on them. You have your reasons and I respect it. It's always a tragedy when people die in any situation and I'm sure the person receiving the organs understands the gravity of that. I've gone through a lot too, many many things. It hasn't tempered my want to help when I'm dead and gone. What am I going to with them? It's all going to rot anyways. Not to be morbid, but it's reality. They are only precious to us when they are functioning, not decomposing. Anyways, I hope life gets better for you and you 100% have the right not to donate. Just thought I'd give my two cents.
My dad is a doctor, he told me a story about an elderly guy who came in with a blocked digestive tract. They operated and found this huge, orange dome-shaped mass. They thought it was a tumor of some sort, but when they tried to cut it out it just sort of popped out. They then realised it was a near-perfect peach half. Apparently silence fell over the operating room, followed by laughter. Anyway, they stitched him up and when the guy came to they asked him how he managed to swallow a peach half. Turns out because he was old and didn't have much in the way of teeth he had been eating dried fruit without chewing it much, and somehow the dried peach had rehydrated itself (therefore getting much larger) and ended up blocking his digestive tract. Chew your dried fruit everyone.
the worst scenario I was ever in for changing a lightbulb was when the utility room bulb burnt out. the utility room is where we store all of our lightbulbs.
Right? Like people go into the ER and use totally transparent lies like that...cause solid objects that magically materialize in your butthole just phase right through any cloth in the way. Seriously, honest truth, why would someone lie about it?
My dad is an ER doctor. He once had a patient with a glass eye have a seizure and his glass eye popped out and bounced across the floor. Many people have never seen someone have a seizure before, so that can be jarring. Now imagine seeing a seizure for the first time, not really knowing what it is, and then the guy's EYE pops out and bounces across the floor of the emergency room waiting area.
You should still think about it, a lot of people badly need the help. I remember when I couldn't stand up without getting so dizzy I'd nearly pass out, and would throw up immediately. It was so bad that I couldn't even stand up with two friends helping. The EMTs said with feigned surprised that I was actually properly sick. Turns out I had a stomach ulcer.. a big one. My hemoglobin levels were less than half of what is considered dangerous. For every person with something stuck up their ass, you have someone who is going to die because of something like their body trying to digest their own blood.
A few times ive gone to the ER once by ambulance. Being a cancer survivor, my treatments were harsh. My last round i suffered from a nose bleed that wouldnt stop. Was bleeding for over an hour dripping ever 3 seconds. Turns out, my red blood tanked below half and i had only 1/8 of the white cells the body should have. Was put into the ICU given 5 units of blood and 2 units of white cells. This past one i actually gone by ambulance. I have a metal internal prosthesis going to whats left of my tibia and up my femur with a full false knee joint. They even relocated a muscle for movement. Every time i fall, i tend to smack it hard possibly breaking the joint. Not only that, but severe pain makes my blood sugar tank. I actually fell into the teens where people usually are pass out and stay out cold and cant speak or in a daze. I was wide awake bullshitting with everyone after having passed out 2 times before hand for aprox 10 minutes each. I didnt realise when EMS shown up or my Coworkers (officers). They still laugh to this day as when i woke up my first words were "Hey (name). When did you get here?". I actually gone to work right after leaving. I personally feel embarrassed all the time when going into the doctors office or ER. Hell, even pahing out EMS what people complain about! The stories are fun, even saved a few people. Lost many others too.
@?? I understand that feeling. About two years ago I got my hand slammed in a van door (accident, the girl who did it did not notice my hand was in the way) and a friend of mine was immediately worried about my fingers being severed (it was a big ass metal sliding van door being slammed down onto them) but thankfully that didn't happen. I was taken to the ER for a possible broken hand but it turns out that I was completely and utterly fine except for some tissue bruising. HOW THE FUCK!? It makes me feel bad for being there in the first place when that time could be used by other people.
If you don't think that shit is hilarious then you're probably not made for this, you see so much blood and gore and drama in the ER and its extremely hard work, a guy with something stuck in his ass is something that always lightens up your day, specially because its management is very straightforward
Serious sinus infections are the worst.... It's like, how the hell does your body manage to fit 30 gallons of rancid snot into your skull?! Like, you snort ( as best you can ) and you can *feel* an almost solid stream of mucus vacating your nose....only to go deeper up into your head....and then it takes forever to just drain it all out....
I actually have sinus drainage quite frequently. When you're in good health, your snot has a sweet taste to it (I often taste it running down the back of my throat. It's not so bad at those times.) It's a whole other story when you're dealing with pollen or an infection. One time, the drainage from an infection was so bad, I almost threw up.
I used to live this way. I had constant sinus infections growing up. In JR high school, I had sinus surgery/nose job done. The nose job was to break and reassemble my entire nose. The sinus surgery portion was to clean out all the infected tissue. I didn’t exactly have a choice. My septum was badly deviated.
7:55 First OMFG How didn't that hurt more than the piercing ever would?. Second, you know it's bad when someone else feels phantom pains in a body part they ever had in the first place
@@brandoncaldwell95 Luckily clitoris isn't only made of the external part. The whole thing is much bigger and hidden inside, around the vagina. Not saying it's not bad, but it's not that bad.
Brandon Caldwell not mine. The vaginal opening can also be quite sensitive. Though I might just have a deformity where the nerves ended up a few inches lower than they are supposed to be.
I know when people come into the er saying they accidentally got something stuck in their butts it sounds unbelievable but I've actually witnessed something like this accidentally happening lol. A kid at a party fell onto a keg and got the pump stuck. Had to be rushed to hospital.
I wouldnt dout it. Ive heard of people going diving from large heights having water shot up their rectum. Do it high/hard enough itll kill you scrambling your insides. Be dead before youre out of the water.
I once heard about a guy who fell off the roof onto a shovel handle. It went up his rectum and ripped his perineum, but luckily that was the extent of his injuries, and he made a full recovery.
I was gardening, crouching, trying to pull a huge weed from the ground. It gave way and I fell back right onto a woody shrub I'd just pruned which was protruding from the ground about 8 inches. The end of a branch gouged my rectum. The shock and pain was horrifying
Elizabeth Horan I’m guessing since this in Ghana, scrubs were in short supply, and the other doctors and nurses were just going to not give a damn and let the guy die of his wounds
ER patients I've had: 1. Guy comes in at 12:01am. He's having penile discharge. Why 12:01 am? so the work note will be for Monday and not Sunday and he can get out of work. What did the discharge look like? Oh, there wasn't any, but he assured me it was coming because of who he'd just slept with. 2. Obese woman comes in completely naked via ambulance. They insisted she wear a sheet at least from her house. Won't wear it in the room. I go to start an IV. She grabs my arm after the needle was already in her vein and pulls it out, almost causing me to stick myself in the hand with her infected blood. MD said, "If you don't need an IV, I guess you're all better. Get out." 3. Homeless man sleeping behind liquor store. Teenagers needed something or someone to light on fire. I can't do ER again. It makes you forget that good humans exist.
I can feel those poor girls with extreme cramps. It happened the same to me since I was eleven. Sometimes the pain was so strong i would puke. Ibuprophen helped but unfortunately, I've been developing a resistance to analgesics so I need bigger and bigger doses to calm the pain.
@@GLGC688 Yes, go have an ultrasound at least, or even better an MRI, this may show endometriosis. And you should also know that even if ultrasounds or MRI come back negative, you could still have endometriosis, for some people these exams don't show it and the only way to know is laparoscopic surgery. Courage :(
It can also conceal or aggravate other health problems. Relative a few years ago finally stopped being lazy, properly kept track of their natural cycle, and started using ibuprofen just before/during their period. No longer an emotional roller coaster because of the pill, they were then able to stop taking the antidepressants that had been hit-or-miss. My large extended family has been using natural family planning for literally decades. First because the pill hadn't been invented, then the expense of it when it was invented, nowadays because they keep getting burned because of the side effects. The experience of my extended family seems to be that the pill is easier, but not necessarily better. A few do use it and seem to be fine for it.
@Writer's Block I take birth control because without them I'll bleed for 3 to 6 months straight super heavy the pain was like I wad dying, use both ultra tampons and the super pads at the same time...but would still bleed through them within an hour. Not everyone take birth control because they don't want kids some take it so they can have a close to normal life and not hide and eat baking soda like a druggie
@@Crosshair84 (I use NFP. I'm lucky, I'm pretty easy to track. On the other hand, there's a very very small chance that even tracking properly you can get pregnant after your ovulation cycle. That's how we got our second son.)
Having a period that's unbearably painful where you can't move your lower half is horrible. Could be an underlying condition or just worst luck, birth control and further examination can help clarify and manage. I hope she is doing better.
Poor poor baby 😭 what absolute monsters those parents are! How can someone even think of doing something so horrible to another human being, let alone your own child. I am so angry and sad right now. F*** those people, hope karma gets them good.
Because the itelligent ones are keeping the idiots alive. Modern technology for you. Also, all the safty crap. Only the government makes companies liable for people idiocracy. A companies job is to give you a way to live a life you want not keep you alive. Lawyers and governments say otherwise.. As Mike Rowe was told by a crab fishing captain, "Son, my job is to make you rich, not keep you alive". You want to be stay alive, you must learn how to stay alive.
When I was in college, the local news asked doctors this and they mentioned someone coming into the ER for period cramps. I felt that they were talking about my recent visit and never forgot. A decade later, I finally got diagnosed with peptic ulcers and have a scheduled colonoscopy and endoscopy coming up. Lesson: Go to the doctor if you feel sick even if it is dismissed.
I was the victim in this scenario, so not actually the doctor. This story requires a bit of context: So it was Easter morning, and my father had gotten me a dirt bike. Unfortunately, we lived in Sioux Falls, which had no decent places for me to ride it, so we had it at my grandparents house in Brookings an hour away. So I was excited to be there on Easter. My only pet peeve about it was this: I had to put it in neutral to park it in the garage. You can see where this is going. I decided I wouldn't put it in neutral this time, hit the handlebar, bike went flying, and I end up on the floor beneath it. The thing hit my leg in a funky position, and I figured it had scratched me, because I could walk relatively well and it didn't hurt much. So I pushed it off, put it in neutral, parked it, then leaned on my grandfathers pickup truck and pulled up my pants leg to assess the damage. I discovered a fist sized hole in my leg. For a 12 year old, I handled this relatively well. I blinked in surprise, decided it can't be that bad, I can still walk. It doesn't matter that I can see bone and muscle. I'm fine, just get my parents, and my dad (a doctor) will slap it shut. So I limp out of the garage (it was connected by a door, but I wasn't getting blood on the nice carpet in the entry way) and around the house to the porch. I have the following conversation with two of my aunts sitting on it. "Hi, Ben" "Hey, Cindy. So, uhh, I have a slight problem." "What is- OH MY F***ING GOD WHAT THE H*** HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?!?!" Up until this point, I had been fine, but when the grown up panicked, it struck me that this couldn't be covered up by a simple band aid. I started crying, more out of confusion and shock than anything, and one aunt runs at me while the other gets my parents. Cue a crowd of relatives (my grandparents had eleven kids, each of them had on average 3-4 kids, so it was a lot) carrying me to my dads car, and me whining because it'll ruin the leather, because that was super important to my adrenaline and shock addled brain. What got me terrified and crying was when they said I needed stitches (I momentarily forgot that anesthetic existed. I was kind of a dumb kid) and they brought me to the ER. Mom brings out a doctor and a wheelchair, they wheel me in. That was when I met her. The lady. I will now call her Ms. Zombie. Ms Zombie was under the impression that zombies were, at current, real. She believed that if you bled and that blood touched another person, then that person who touched their blood would become a zombie. She had come in because one of her sons friends had a nose bleed, and was demanding he be EUTHANIZED BEFORE HE TURNED. The nurse was desperately trying to explain basic science to the woman when my addled brain decided to fuck around. I somehow stood up, leapt from the wheel chair and kicked at the woman (at this point my pants legs were up and I had a good cup or so of blood in my leg). The blood splatters all over her. She runs out screaming, I start laughing my ass off, then I get stitches and was quite happy for the rest of the month when I got a free B out of gym.
The man who got impaled by a wood post must have been trying his best not to pass out before letting out that joke.. He lives for that cartoon humor, what a legend
3:10 oh god, that happened to my dad. they gave him 6 months, and he only lasted 3. my condolences to anyone that has to witness or go through that. please go to the doctor for any pain. sometimes (most likely very rarely) that's the only symptom.
My Mom was an EMT and she said the hardest thing she had to deal with was a call she got during supper. I did not find out for years but the call was for a 17 year old who hung himself in his driveway (he lived in the country and had a 1/4 mile driveway). She came home finished supper with us and went to the station the next day and quit. My dad and I are the only ones who know. Not my brothers nor my sister know.
I used to have severe period cramps that almost caused me to have like, reflex anoxic seizures. Im so glad im on birth control because not even medication like naproxen was helping with my cramps
*hurt (i think you mean ☺) & yes, period cramps can be torture. I once had to explain to a gm at the restaurant I was a server at that, no, you don't want me to come in today (he tried to prevent me from calling in sick for massive cramps or at least get a Drs note, this was before Obamacare in the U.S. & that place didn't offer insurance & as I explained to him the next day, there wasn't much they could do for me. At that time Advil or whatever otc meds I had, a heating pad & rest were enough, but there was no damn way I could work.) Pretty sure I gave him TMI, but he did ask for it. 😁 I've since found that birth control meds help & the muscle relaxers my Dr prescribed for my back pain also help when they're bad (Advil did nothing for that back pain at prescription strength, muscle relaxers did & are non addictive.)
Period cramps are no joke, pretty sure I was diagnosed w PMDD at one point & I was pretty bitchy the day I called in to work, not in a customer service mood. Thankfully, after all that, I didn't get in trouble for calling out. Kinda fun making guys squirm over period stuff (especially that boss).
I thought my burst appendix was just menstral cramps. The implant is the best decision I’ve made for myself. No periods. No cramps ether. I still experience a little moodiness monthly, but it’s a small price to pay to be period and cramp free.
Man, those serious ones sprinkled amongst the funny ones _really_ hit you in the gut when they show up. Reading answers to this question is like walking through a goddamn minefield
Responding to the bit about organ donation - My dad's corneas were donated when he died. His corneas were able to save the sight of two different people. He would have been happy about that, I think.
ER nurse here. Had a patient who swallowed a pencil and plastic spoon whole. This apparently wasn't the first time, because he admitted he'd done it before without issue and wanted to cancel the surgery. I consulted the MD. The MD took five seconds to speak with him and in that short time, conviced the patient surgery was the safest option. I don't know what was said, but way to go doc!
It all depends. I prefer not having to take medications so the dontsted body part does not get rejected by my body. To which is why i have a metal leg vs a donor bone.
Yep, organ donor on my license just in case. Though considering my fondness for beer not sure how much good my kidneys nor liver would be. I'm almost blind without correction so not sure what good they'd get out of my eyes ( cornea transplant? Not sure how badly acute astigmatism would affect that ). Had some heart problems as a kid too ( small hole in the heart, lower left ventricle IIRC, though it sealed by the time I was 10 ) so not sure on that one either. Suppose if nothing else could be of use for med students when they scrape me up from where I die.
@@MsScarletwings Little bit of eczema with a touch of psoriasis....thankfully nowhere near as bad as my maternal grandfather ( he had to slather himself with various creams and wear gloves because his skin split at the joints and various special UV light treatments)... still thick nasty dandruff from hell and itchy, scaly bits on my elbows and to a far lesser extent on my other joints to the point they bleed if I itch them too much....I have fantastic chemical tolerance...everything else is a crapshoot.
@Sufiya H. I'm sure if you were told you were going to die if you didn't receive a new heart, kidney, liver, lung, etc you would be all too happy to agree to receive one from a donor. If you wouldn't be overjoyed to receive a donated organ then please make a Living Declaration that under no circumstances will you allow any organs to be received by you to ease, extend or save your life. Also, add blood to that list of things you will not accept since blood is vital to the human body and you are opposed to vampirism. This will make sure that your family refuses on your behalf the receipt of any donated human parts that might ease, extend, or save your life. No use wasting them on you in case you have been in a coma only for you to demand they be removed after you have had transplant surgery and have woken from your coma. What about amputations of your body parts? Do you find this offensive also? If so make a statement on your Living Declaration that states under no circumstances will you consent to any part of your body being removed due to cancer, mutilation, Gangrene, diabetes, etc. Also add no feeding tubes, dialysis, antibiotics, plasma, etc. No use wasting those precious items on someone that would refuse them if conscious. Make sure you have a Notary Public and I would suggest two non-family members witness your signing the document and signing it themselves. That way your family cannot claim you were no informed of the meaning of these decisions you have made and over rule you to make the life-saving decision to receive a transplant or other needed items from a living donor or cadaver donor.
*person has a pimple* Person: is this enough to go to the ER? *me violently throwing up with severe weakness and a massive headache* Mother; we’re going to the ER. Me; No!!
imagine being blind for however long but not due to nerve damage but corneal damage, and then getting new corneas, how amazing would that be, i cant even imagine.
Oh the poor family who found out through the news... I was really close to the janitor at my elementary school (I'm Autistic, and good gosh I was a demon child, so I was in the special needs department.) And this janitor would always help the EA with all of us and would buy us chocolate milk and such. Surprisingly the students in our school were rather clean, and he was the only janitor so he figured he'd make good use of his time. He was one of the best people ever, maybe second to only my own EA who'd probably bend over backwards for me. Anyways, in grade ten I attended the Highschool literally next door to the elementary school. Someone I'd been in class with once who also had a disability was sing about the janitor. He didn't like him at all- I believe it was because he was raised to believe being larger was wrong. (He's lower functioning than I am and very gullible- some kids once made him strip in class for candy. He's the main reason I've taken intrest in martial arts, to say the least.) Anyways, another old classmate scolded him, saying it was disrespectful to make fun of the dead. I thought he was just being a jerk at first, so I asked "What the heck? Is that the truth?" And apparently it was, according to him. I hardly believed him- I've had my fair share of being lying to my face so honestly? I really didn't believe him, even though out of everyone in my grade he's actually on the nicer side. The next day, in mathclass, his memorial was announced over the PA system. (Since he died of cancer they thought it was necessary, which I certainly wouldn't complain over.) But I just broke down crying right there, and had to be escorted out of the class and eventually went home. The next day people in that class were asking me why I was so upset over a janitor, so I explained vaguely enough that they'd get the jist of it but wouldn't know I'm Autistic. Since then they would tease me about it, since they deemed the story made him sound like a pedophile. A few school supplies were impulsively thrown in that class- thankfully the teacher had an Autistic kid and know how to handle me- we had to sit through hundreds of lectures because I would snitch on everyone and everything. Think twice before you mock the teacher's pet.
I once took a woman stuck in a toilet to the hospital. She had fallen in. Maintenance was called in and they broke the toilet off of her. Her backside formed a perfect seal to the toilet which is why we couldn’t free her on site.
I'm sorry "they had to soak his eye in acetone to get it open" -- no. Please tell me a competent doctor didn't do that. Acetone can cause really serious permanent damage to the eye. Krazy Glue's website very very clearly says not to use any acetone-containing solution anywhere near your eye.
@@speedy01247 That is absolutely not the case. super glue itself does not damage the eye anywhere near as badly as acetone does. Leaving it alone and letting it eventually detach is a much better option than giving yourself cataracts with acetone.
I actually have a weird/ a little sad story from well over a decade ago. tl;rd -Made 2 nurses think they were about to move a middle school vampire into the in-patient unit one night. Turns out depression can affect your blood pressure and pulse dramatically. Not a Dr. but was a patient being checked out before entering a mental health facility late at night as a young teen (13). I was beyond just depressed at this point and brought in by my mom who was worried. I was not exactly voluntary, and this was my first -or many- admittance to a psych unit. The nurses were checking my vitals manually and doing an initial interview when the girl looking for my pulse at my cut up wrist starts cracking jokes -just trying to keep things light- after not being able to find it there. She moved to my neck, and after a minute of trying she gets visibly worried when she can't find my pulse there too. She had the other nurse bring the machine into this tiny office area where they were interviewing me, and kept trying to lighten the mood with jokes about me being a vampire while we were waiting. The machine takes a few seconds to get a read on my blood pressure and pulse, but it does work. It was all extremely low. So...nope, not a real-life vampire kid. Sorry to disappoint them. They asked the typical drug questions, but I was pretty obvious I wasn't on anything. Just... showing some serious physical effects of depression that they weren't used to seeing. The place was were the system sent kids who were under court order to go for mental/behavioral issues in our area. And while open to taking in and helping others, I don't think it was common for them to receive someone so depressed at such a young age.
In that girl with a painful period’s defense painful periods to point in which they interfere with her everyday is something you should see a doctor about. Probably just not an emergency doctor maybe her PCP
6:23 dude imagine the sheer panic and stress of the brother driving, just like ripping down to the hospital at like 120 mph with his dying brother only to smash through the fucking wall holy heck
3:08 and this is why i get terrible anxiety when i feel pain in any part of my body for an extended amount of time.. but usually it goes away within a day and never comes back so.. i guess im gud..
I knew a crazy lady who blew a .8 before. I think she may have done a 1.0 at one point too. Also poor kid... I cant beleave someone could do that. I hope he has a better home... Haveing to loose his eyes cuz of that bs... :(
You might be from Chattanooga, TN around 1995-1997, if you have a locally famous meteorologist admitted to the emergency room with a dead cat with rigor mortis setting in, stuck on his junk. The number one trauma and children's hospital in the region and the teaching hospital. The meteorologist also directed and ran the Science Theater at Northgate Mall.
Not really weirdest but a woman fell hiking,came into ER because she busted her dentures and they were imbedded in her gums.she cried because they were 2 yrs old and she did not have $3000 to replace them.turns out she had a severe concussion,jaw broke in 2 places,bruised ribs yet she hiked out of woods for half mile to a road for help.she still cried more for loss of dentures then from her injuries.wow
I went to the ER once. I thought I had been bit by a brown recluse. Turns out is was a regular spider (my jeans were filled with them). Got charged $500. I will never go to the ER alive again.
@@snowbirdybird Better yet, why'd he put ON the spider-filled jeans? Especially with the concern that the spiders may have been of the brown recluse variety.
This wasn't in the ER but a general medicine floor at the hospital. Guy stated that he had been drinking a 30 pack of beer ever day for a while. I was impressed by the just the sheer volume of liquid that's 10.65L of fluid. So another way of putting it is imagine drinking 2.5 gallons of beer every day.
I was a housekeeper and keep in mind I don't actually have any clue what was going on, anyways, they took an older woman into the er( original reason unknown) but as I observed her she looked and acted very strange. She was very banged up and was bleeding in several spots including on her head and would constantly try to bite something. Blanket, hands, herself ect. She would also say things no one could understand. When I had to go in there to change her trash I was scared shitless but to this day I feel bad for her. I remember the nurse asking her if she was hungry while she was biting the blanket lol
I can relate to the period one. I had fibroids, so the pain I was in was ridiculous to the point that my sense of the pain scale is so skewed a 5 is “uncomfortable.” Went to the ER 4 times in May as I was literally bleeding out because my body was literally trying to birth my uterus. Pretty sure a lot of the doctors thought I was just med seeking because I specifically asked for dilaudid and/or morphine since those were the only two drugs I’d ever been given that helped with the intense pain I was in. Didn’t get either, just oxy 5mg which doesn’t have any effect on me. Ended up throwing up and literally passing out because I was in so much pain and the ER nurse wrote it off as I had had a reaction to the blood transfusion. That was my 4th transfusion in a month, and none of the others had had any adverse effects and it was about an hour after the transfusion when I puked and passed out. Suffice to say, they did end up doing an emergent hysteroscopy because I wouldn’t stop losing blood and, oh look, turns out I wasn’t faking
7:36 be an organ donor, you don’t need that stuff in the afterlife and it’s a few extra brownie points for when you cross into the pearly gates. I don’t plan on dying young like everyone else but damnit it if I do I want every usable piece of me to go to people who need it.
So my dad had been diagnosed with afib and heart failure. He had been out of the hospital a week after they put a stent in. He told me and mom in a panic saying he's have chest pain that he's going to the hospital. On the way to the hospital we hit a massive bump in the road and then he farts this horrible bubbly fart. All three of us put the situation together and have to pull over we are laughing so hard. We were still concerned about his pain so he got checked out at the er anyway. Story gave the er doc a good laughh. TLDR my dad farted away a heart attack.
The sunburn itch one is understandable. Look up hells itch, my bro got pretty bad second degree sunburn and yeah he was going insane from how bad it itched and burned!
Apparently husband is allergic to lidocaine. Never seen him that manic and out of control. Couldn't do anything, had to wait it out. Longest 45 minutes ever.
Okay I have to point something out here. Yes, someone coming into an ER because sunburn is itchy sounds funny, but I have experienced something similar recently. (I'm Australian if that helps - sunburn very easy here) so I got a severe sunburn and went to the chemist to get something to help with the pain. Turns out the cream they gave me for the burn made me break out in hives ALL OVER THE SUNBURN. Now hives are an itchy pain in the ass, but these were hives from the devil himself that put me into a state of shock as I couldn't do anything to stop the itch AND pain at the same time. I went to the doctors shaking and crying and was given a shot of antihistamine into the sunburn.... sweet relief that was. Sunburn is not something to sneeze at, people. And the itchy can be hell.
Not a doctor or anything like that but I get injured alot( because I'm a moron) I was 12 and had gotten lightly stabbed in the eye. While I was waiting in the waiting room to be treated a child was rushed in with horrible burns and dried blood was screaming at the top of her lungs. Her grandmother was with her. It's a small town,so my mom was friends with the sheriff and she had ask what had happened. Apparently 2 DAYS AGO the baby daddy of the child had dumped boiling grease onto the poor kid and the mom just put the kid in the room screaming and left her there until the granny came and took her to the hospital.... several hours after she say the burns. After I got my eye looked at and got some drops and a dope ass eye patch, we where about to leave when security had amped up. My mom later told me that the mom and the father where showing up to collect their kid, and the dad was armed. We left in a hurry. I don't know what happened after that. My eye healed completely and unfortunately I do not still have a dope ass eye patch
Just listened to the story about the kids eyes. Now sitting in the parking lot at my job trying not to cry. That is one of the worst child abuse stories I have ever heard and I'm heartbroken for that child and totally sickened at how anyone, much less the parent, could do that to a child. How could the two people in this world that are supposed to love and protect that child could ever do something so horrible is beyond me.
I was actually horrified at the thought of having to soak someone's eye in acetone, more so than glass getting in there. Not only is it in your eye, there's also an open wound!
This makes me feel better from going to the ER for what I thoughts was a heart attack. It turned out to be dehydration (which raised my heart rate) mixed with back pain and indigestion.
Trust me, it helps me also. I went from a fall on my leg that hase a metal joint sorta an extended knee replacment but worse. Also passing out for about 20min due to zero blood sugar pretty much. Hell, even my bloody nose that didnt stop for an hour requiring 5 units of blood and 2 units of white cells due to my cancer treatments.
Oh my!! The magnet thing! My cousin did that to his eyebrow when I was younger. We were on a road trip and he took to really strong magnets and stuck them on his eyebrow right next to his eyebrow piercing and the magnets got stuck. I was really young so I don’t remember much but I just remember looking back and seeing him laugh-crying and screaming until he eventually got it off. To this day his piercing doesn’t sit right because of it hahaha
the organ donation one always gets me, i have always thought that it should be something you opt OUT of and not in to. You still have the choice at the same time but more people would be in the program if they had to say no i do not want to give my organs after i am not using them anymore to save peoples lives
If people were made to donate, they'd probably mess up their insides to make those organs unusable and the US is pretty big on choices (as far as donating insides go). I like the idea that you opt in and, thus, I've chosen not to donate my organs because they're my insides and a lot of my relatives mess up their insides.
me watching this knowing i might be in the er in the next two days because i have the exact same symptoms and everything as mumps but it’s not mumps because i’ve had all my vaccines and my jaw is swelling bigger and bigger dispute antibiotics and it has started swelling in the back of my throat causing my voice to sounds weird (i am also in extreme pain and can barely open my mouth and can barely sleep)
I hope you're doing better now. One of my nieces had similar symptoms before she was old enough to get the vaccine - a small baby - and the whole family was terrified. After lots of testing, turned out to be an infected salivary gland. We and the doctor were so relieved!
doctors in the ER tested me for herpes 4 times (each time was negative) before sending me to Children’s Hospital where they took one look at me and said “yeah you have Behçet’s Syndrome.” it was my immune system freaking the hell out and attacking anything it wanted. doctors at the ER had no idea what to do

I hope that girl who went in because of her period got help. Period pain like that is NOT normal at all and she probably has/had endometriosis
Exactly. Too many people think that extreme pain is normal during menstruation, but it's not. If it's to the point you can't move or you pass out (or even just 'nearly' pass out), it's worth seeking medical attention. Might not be endometriosis, but even then, there's a whole host of other possibilities, none worth living with.
Theres more cases then just endometriosis. There was a woman complaining of pain like that but actually had am embro attach in the fallopian tube. The lady is fine now, but cant have kids.
Melody McDaniel Absolutely, I knew a girl once who thought they were just particularly unlucky and had very painful cycles naturally. Turns out it was PCOS and they had cysts all over their ovaries.
Sadly doctors often don't take this stuff seriously
I used to throw up and pass out all the time from my cramps. My mom just told me to suck it up. I missed so much school over it. When I moved into my dads house, he found me on the floor in a puddle of puke and period blood. He helped me schedule an appointment to see a gynecologist and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. She had me get on strong birth control and now I barely have anything during my period. It's nice to have my life back.
6:00 the parents of that child won't make it to the end of their prison sentence, at least not without lasting injuries far worse than what that unfortunate toddler has to endure.

Its another level of bad when you can hurt a kid like that......poor baby.
K M yeah but protective custody is usually only for police informant prisoners. the child abusers and wife beaters usually get put with the rest.
if there was ever a justification for crashing into the ER, your younger brother getting gutshot probably qualifies, hope the judge took that into account.
Possibility that the brakes were severed or faded pretty badly. Ive personally delt with brakes that failed. Not fun, but i didnt crash.
Freaked out kid who probs just started driving driving his little brother to the hospital, I'm half surprised that they didn't crash earlier
When it was finalized that my aunt was indeed brain dead, I was the one that had to decide on organ donation. Her death was able to help 8 people. I miss her every day, but I'm very happy about that. It's rough though.
I'm glad you live in a nice community to which you're happy to donate. I was a huge advocate of donation, but I've opted out now. I've had some awful negative life changing situations regarding other people, had to move house because of a stalker, dealt with sleazy policemen, been scammed out of money, amongst numerous other things. I came to the conclusion that no one is having my organs. I am not donating to help these individuals in society. I get so angry when I see in the news a mother asking for organs for her child. Only once have I seen a mother upset that another child has to die for this to happen and for her child to survive. The rest are demanding, entitled, impatient and unempathetic in expecting another child's organs. Our organs are precious treasures that are a gift to other people. Usually other people are only nice when they want those organs, and some are downright unpleasant
@@vmm5163 I'm sorry you've had to go through that. I really am. My whole attitude towards it is, hey... I'm not going to be using them anymore, hopefully it will help others in my passing. You know? It's not my place to judge those who get my organs because I'll be dead. I can only hope they take the new chance at life and do something good with it. If not, well, that's on them. You have your reasons and I respect it. It's always a tragedy when people die in any situation and I'm sure the person receiving the organs understands the gravity of that.
I've gone through a lot too, many many things. It hasn't tempered my want to help when I'm dead and gone. What am I going to with them? It's all going to rot anyways. Not to be morbid, but it's reality. They are only precious to us when they are functioning, not decomposing. Anyways, I hope life gets better for you and you 100% have the right not to donate. Just thought I'd give my two cents.

My dad is a doctor, he told me a story about an elderly guy who came in with a blocked digestive tract. They operated and found this huge, orange dome-shaped mass. They thought it was a tumor of some sort, but when they tried to cut it out it just sort of popped out. They then realised it was a near-perfect peach half. Apparently silence fell over the operating room, followed by laughter.
Anyway, they stitched him up and when the guy came to they asked him how he managed to swallow a peach half. Turns out because he was old and didn't have much in the way of teeth he had been eating dried fruit without chewing it much, and somehow the dried peach had rehydrated itself (therefore getting much larger) and ended up blocking his digestive tract.
Chew your dried fruit everyone.
wow.... thats... interesting story
I nearly choked when I puked up rehydrated cherries one time, such a grim experience
Oml this one had me laughing my ass off
Well this is now my number 1 fear

6:36 "do you normally change lightbulbs naked?"
the worst scenario I was ever in for changing a lightbulb was when the utility room bulb burnt out. the utility room is where we store all of our lightbulbs.
Right? Like people go into the ER and use totally transparent lies like that...cause solid objects that magically materialize in your butthole just phase right through any cloth in the way. Seriously, honest truth, why would someone lie about it?
@@MrGoesBoom it's a buzzsaw? Do you want to really test your theory
@@MrGoesBoom could be an at-home nudist. Odds of hitting just right to insert are still very slim though.
I always strip off to change lightbulbs, why do you ask?
My dad is an ER doctor. He once had a patient with a glass eye have a seizure and his glass eye popped out and bounced across the floor. Many people have never seen someone have a seizure before, so that can be jarring. Now imagine seeing a seizure for the first time, not really knowing what it is, and then the guy's EYE pops out and bounces across the floor of the emergency room waiting area.
Am I evil for laughing?
@@Brievel No! I laughed too, but then again, I'm a Paramedic.
Sounds hilarious but terrifying
*tries not to laugh...fails*
I laughed because of the image my mind brought up.
6:03 Im not even a mother but this kicked in all my motherly instincts on overdrive. Damn I just want to protect that child.
I actually want to be an ER doctor but the amount of stories of people coming in with objects shoved up their ass is kinda making me rethink it.
You should still think about it, a lot of people badly need the help. I remember when I couldn't stand up without getting so dizzy I'd nearly pass out, and would throw up immediately. It was so bad that I couldn't even stand up with two friends helping. The EMTs said with feigned surprised that I was actually properly sick. Turns out I had a stomach ulcer.. a big one. My hemoglobin levels were less than half of what is considered dangerous.
For every person with something stuck up their ass, you have someone who is going to die because of something like their body trying to digest their own blood.
What's worse being the ER Doc to find it or the surgeon to remove it?
A few times ive gone to the ER once by ambulance. Being a cancer survivor, my treatments were harsh. My last round i suffered from a nose bleed that wouldnt stop. Was bleeding for over an hour dripping ever 3 seconds. Turns out, my red blood tanked below half and i had only 1/8 of the white cells the body should have. Was put into the ICU given 5 units of blood and 2 units of white cells. This past one i actually gone by ambulance. I have a metal internal prosthesis going to whats left of my tibia and up my femur with a full false knee joint. They even relocated a muscle for movement. Every time i fall, i tend to smack it hard possibly breaking the joint. Not only that, but severe pain makes my blood sugar tank. I actually fell into the teens where people usually are pass out and stay out cold and cant speak or in a daze. I was wide awake bullshitting with everyone after having passed out 2 times before hand for aprox 10 minutes each. I didnt realise when EMS shown up or my Coworkers (officers). They still laugh to this day as when i woke up my first words were "Hey (name). When did you get here?". I actually gone to work right after leaving.
I personally feel embarrassed all the time when going into the doctors office or ER. Hell, even pahing out EMS what people complain about! The stories are fun, even saved a few people. Lost many others too.
@?? I understand that feeling. About two years ago I got my hand slammed in a van door (accident, the girl who did it did not notice my hand was in the way) and a friend of mine was immediately worried about my fingers being severed (it was a big ass metal sliding van door being slammed down onto them) but thankfully that didn't happen. I was taken to the ER for a possible broken hand but it turns out that I was completely and utterly fine except for some tissue bruising.
HOW THE FUCK!? It makes me feel bad for being there in the first place when that time could be used by other people.
If you don't think that shit is hilarious then you're probably not made for this, you see so much blood and gore and drama in the ER and its extremely hard work, a guy with something stuck in his ass is something that always lightens up your day, specially because its management is very straightforward
Serious sinus infections are the worst.... It's like, how the hell does your body manage to fit 30 gallons of rancid snot into your skull?! Like, you snort ( as best you can ) and you can *feel* an almost solid stream of mucus vacating your nose....only to go deeper up into your head....and then it takes forever to just drain it all out....
Chronic Sinusitis here. The drainage of mucus down your throat to your stomach is the worst. I've vomited from this.
Worst thing is, the snot that sticks around gets reinfected and you can end up with yucky smelling snot for months.
I actually have sinus drainage quite frequently. When you're in good health, your snot has a sweet taste to it (I often taste it running down the back of my throat. It's not so bad at those times.) It's a whole other story when you're dealing with pollen or an infection. One time, the drainage from an infection was so bad, I almost threw up.
I used to live this way. I had constant sinus infections growing up.
In JR high school, I had sinus surgery/nose job done. The nose job was to break and reassemble my entire nose. The sinus surgery portion was to clean out all the infected tissue. I didn’t exactly have a choice. My septum was badly deviated.

The boy having his eyes removed made my heart break. I had hoped that he would be able to physically heal normally
I know when people come into the er saying they accidentally got something stuck in their butts it sounds unbelievable but I've actually witnessed something like this accidentally happening lol. A kid at a party fell onto a keg and got the pump stuck. Had to be rushed to hospital.
I wouldnt dout it. Ive heard of people going diving from large heights having water shot up their rectum. Do it high/hard enough itll kill you scrambling your insides. Be dead before youre out of the water.
Not to mention the guy that was working on a ladder, fell and...ahem...."sat" on the top of a wooden fence.
I once heard about a guy who fell off the roof onto a shovel handle. It went up his rectum and ripped his perineum, but luckily that was the extent of his injuries, and he made a full recovery.
I was gardening, crouching, trying to pull a huge weed from the ground. It gave way and I fell back right onto a woody shrub I'd just pruned which was protruding from the ground about 8 inches. The end of a branch gouged my rectum. The shock and pain was horrifying
What are the odds of that happening?
"I got introble because my scrubs had blood on them"

ER patients I've had:
1. Guy comes in at 12:01am. He's having penile discharge. Why 12:01 am? so the work note will be for Monday and not Sunday and he can get out of work. What did the discharge look like? Oh, there wasn't any, but he assured me it was coming because of who he'd just slept with.
2. Obese woman comes in completely naked via ambulance. They insisted she wear a sheet at least from her house. Won't wear it in the room. I go to start an IV. She grabs my arm after the needle was already in her vein and pulls it out, almost causing me to stick myself in the hand with her infected blood. MD said, "If you don't need an IV, I guess you're all better. Get out."
3. Homeless man sleeping behind liquor store. Teenagers needed something or someone to light on fire.
I can't do ER again. It makes you forget that good humans exist.
That first one made me snort. That last one... did he survive?
Brievel Montague Yes.
@@TheVillainOfTheYear Was it ever a relief when someone came in for what they thought was major and it wasn't?
Brievel Montague good question. I work in observation now, so that describes about 95% of my patients.

I can feel those poor girls with extreme cramps. It happened the same to me since I was eleven. Sometimes the pain was so strong i would puke. Ibuprophen helped but unfortunately, I've been developing a resistance to analgesics so I need bigger and bigger doses to calm the pain.
Have you seen a doctor about it? Could be something serious, actually. Long-term, yes, but still serious.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 A few, actually. But no one has the answer yet.
Mega oof. One time I was about to have my period again, and my cramps were so painful, I did throw up. Hasn’t happened since.
Go to gynecologist ask for an ultrasound of your pelvis if you haven't had one. Pain that bad is not normal.
@@GLGC688 Yes, go have an ultrasound at least, or even better an MRI, this may show endometriosis. And you should also know that even if ultrasounds or MRI come back negative, you could still have endometriosis, for some people these exams don't show it and the only way to know is laparoscopic surgery. Courage :(
Birth control can significantly reduce the severity of periods in case any of ya ladies didn’t know.
It can also conceal or aggravate other health problems.
Relative a few years ago finally stopped being lazy, properly kept track of their natural cycle, and started using ibuprofen just before/during their period. No longer an emotional roller coaster because of the pill, they were then able to stop taking the antidepressants that had been hit-or-miss.
My large extended family has been using natural family planning for literally decades. First because the pill hadn't been invented, then the expense of it when it was invented, nowadays because they keep getting burned because of the side effects. The experience of my extended family seems to be that the pill is easier, but not necessarily better. A few do use it and seem to be fine for it.
Good cause my gf flow is like that one scene from the Shinning and every time I find one of her tampons I say, "Red Rum"
@Writer's Block I take birth control because without them I'll bleed for 3 to 6 months straight super heavy the pain was like I wad dying, use both ultra tampons and the super pads at the same time...but would still bleed through them within an hour. Not everyone take birth control because they don't want kids some take it so they can have a close to normal life and not hide and eat baking soda like a druggie
For women without significant health issues, it can also cause problems, sometimes permanently.
@@Crosshair84 (I use NFP. I'm lucky, I'm pretty easy to track. On the other hand, there's a very very small chance that even tracking properly you can get pregnant after your ovulation cycle. That's how we got our second son.)

The last time I was this early you didn’t use dark mode.
Having a period that's unbearably painful where you can't move your lower half is horrible. Could be an underlying condition or just worst luck, birth control and further examination can help clarify and manage. I hope she is doing better.

Because the itelligent ones are keeping the idiots alive. Modern technology for you. Also, all the safty crap. Only the government makes companies liable for people idiocracy. A companies job is to give you a way to live a life you want not keep you alive. Lawyers and governments say otherwise..
As Mike Rowe was told by a crab fishing captain, "Son, my job is to make you rich, not keep you alive". You want to be stay alive, you must learn how to stay alive.
When I was in college, the local news asked doctors this and they mentioned someone coming into the ER for period cramps. I felt that they were talking about my recent visit and never forgot. A decade later, I finally got diagnosed with peptic ulcers and have a scheduled colonoscopy and endoscopy coming up.
Lesson: Go to the doctor if you feel sick even if it is dismissed.
I was the victim in this scenario, so not actually the doctor. This story requires a bit of context:
So it was Easter morning, and my father had gotten me a dirt bike. Unfortunately, we lived in Sioux Falls, which had no decent places for me to ride it, so we had it at my grandparents house in Brookings an hour away. So I was excited to be there on Easter. My only pet peeve about it was this: I had to put it in neutral to park it in the garage. You can see where this is going.
I decided I wouldn't put it in neutral this time, hit the handlebar, bike went flying, and I end up on the floor beneath it. The thing hit my leg in a funky position, and I figured it had scratched me, because I could walk relatively well and it didn't hurt much. So I pushed it off, put it in neutral, parked it, then leaned on my grandfathers pickup truck and pulled up my pants leg to assess the damage. I discovered a fist sized hole in my leg.
For a 12 year old, I handled this relatively well. I blinked in surprise, decided it can't be that bad, I can still walk. It doesn't matter that I can see bone and muscle. I'm fine, just get my parents, and my dad (a doctor) will slap it shut. So I limp out of the garage (it was connected by a door, but I wasn't getting blood on the nice carpet in the entry way) and around the house to the porch. I have the following conversation with two of my aunts sitting on it.
"Hi, Ben"
"Hey, Cindy. So, uhh, I have a slight problem."
"What is- OH MY F***ING GOD WHAT THE H*** HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?!?!"
Up until this point, I had been fine, but when the grown up panicked, it struck me that this couldn't be covered up by a simple band aid. I started crying, more out of confusion and shock than anything, and one aunt runs at me while the other gets my parents. Cue a crowd of relatives (my grandparents had eleven kids, each of them had on average 3-4 kids, so it was a lot) carrying me to my dads car, and me whining because it'll ruin the leather, because that was super important to my adrenaline and shock addled brain. What got me terrified and crying was when they said I needed stitches (I momentarily forgot that anesthetic existed. I was kind of a dumb kid) and they brought me to the ER. Mom brings out a doctor and a wheelchair, they wheel me in.
That was when I met her. The lady. I will now call her Ms. Zombie.
Ms Zombie was under the impression that zombies were, at current, real. She believed that if you bled and that blood touched another person, then that person who touched their blood would become a zombie. She had come in because one of her sons friends had a nose bleed, and was demanding he be EUTHANIZED BEFORE HE TURNED.
The nurse was desperately trying to explain basic science to the woman when my addled brain decided to fuck around. I somehow stood up, leapt from the wheel chair and kicked at the woman (at this point my pants legs were up and I had a good cup or so of blood in my leg). The blood splatters all over her. She runs out screaming, I start laughing my ass off, then I get stitches and was quite happy for the rest of the month when I got a free B out of gym.
😆😆😆
My heart absolutely broke about the poor baby who’s parents were putting cigarettes out on his eyes!😭😭😭😭

yeah i remember having to piss in a cup but then realizing im on my period. It's slightly humiliating.
3:10 oh god, that happened to my dad. they gave him 6 months, and he only lasted 3. my condolences to anyone that has to witness or go through that. please go to the doctor for any pain. sometimes (most likely very rarely) that's the only symptom.
The one woth they kid is heartbreaking :(
My Mom was an EMT and she said the hardest thing she had to deal with was a call she got during supper. I did not find out for years but the call was for a 17 year old who hung himself in his driveway (he lived in the country and had a 1/4 mile driveway). She came home finished supper with us and went to the station the next day and quit. My dad and I are the only ones who know. Not my brothers nor my sister know.
That's really sad
I used to have severe period cramps that almost caused me to have like, reflex anoxic seizures. Im so glad im on birth control because not even medication like naproxen was helping with my cramps
the eye one got me. nope
For the period cramp one as a girl I understand... cramps heart as much as a heart attack
*hurt (i think you mean ☺) & yes, period cramps can be torture. I once had to explain to a gm at the restaurant I was a server at that, no, you don't want me to come in today (he tried to prevent me from calling in sick for massive cramps or at least get a Drs note, this was before Obamacare in the U.S. & that place didn't offer insurance & as I explained to him the next day, there wasn't much they could do for me. At that time Advil or whatever otc meds I had, a heating pad & rest were enough, but there was no damn way I could work.) Pretty sure I gave him TMI, but he did ask for it. 😁 I've since found that birth control meds help & the muscle relaxers my Dr prescribed for my back pain also help when they're bad (Advil did nothing for that back pain at prescription strength, muscle relaxers did & are non addictive.)
Period cramps are no joke, pretty sure I was diagnosed w PMDD at one point & I was pretty bitchy the day I called in to work, not in a customer service mood. Thankfully, after all that, I didn't get in trouble for calling out. Kinda fun making guys squirm over period stuff (especially that boss).
Yeah, once I threw up because of it. It’s nothing serious tho, it hasn’t happened since.
I thought my burst appendix was just menstral cramps.
The implant is the best decision I’ve made for myself. No periods. No cramps ether. I still experience a little moodiness monthly, but it’s a small price to pay to be period and cramp free.
Man, those serious ones sprinkled amongst the funny ones _really_ hit you in the gut when they show up. Reading answers to this question is like walking through a goddamn minefield

Responding to the bit about organ donation - My dad's corneas were donated when he died. His corneas were able to save the sight of two different people. He would have been happy about that, I think.
Yes he probably is happy about that
ER nurse here. Had a patient who swallowed a pencil and plastic spoon whole. This apparently wasn't the first time, because he admitted he'd done it before without issue and wanted to cancel the surgery. I consulted the MD. The MD took five seconds to speak with him and in that short time, conviced the patient surgery was the safest option. I don't know what was said, but way to go doc!
Donate your organs people, you won't need them anymore and they can help so many people.
It all depends. I prefer not having to take medications so the dontsted body part does not get rejected by my body. To which is why i have a metal leg vs a donor bone.
Yep, organ donor on my license just in case. Though considering my fondness for beer not sure how much good my kidneys nor liver would be. I'm almost blind without correction so not sure what good they'd get out of my eyes ( cornea transplant? Not sure how badly acute astigmatism would affect that ). Had some heart problems as a kid too ( small hole in the heart, lower left ventricle IIRC, though it sealed by the time I was 10 ) so not sure on that one either. Suppose if nothing else could be of use for med students when they scrape me up from where I die.

I'm sure if you were told you were going to die if you didn't receive a new heart, kidney, liver, lung, etc you would be all too happy to agree to receive one from a donor.
If you wouldn't be overjoyed to receive a donated organ then please make a Living Declaration that under no circumstances will you allow any organs to be received by you to ease, extend or save your life. Also, add blood to that list of things you will not accept since blood is vital to the human body and you are opposed to vampirism.
This will make sure that your family refuses on your behalf the receipt of any donated human parts that might ease, extend, or save your life.
No use wasting them on you in case you have been in a coma only for you to demand they be removed after you have had transplant surgery and have woken from your coma.
What about amputations of your body parts? Do you find this offensive also?
If so make a statement on your Living Declaration that states under no circumstances will you consent to any part of your body being removed due to cancer, mutilation, Gangrene, diabetes, etc. Also add no feeding tubes, dialysis, antibiotics, plasma, etc. No use wasting those precious items on someone that would refuse them if conscious.
Make sure you have a Notary Public and I would suggest two non-family members witness your signing the document and signing it themselves. That way your family cannot claim you were no informed of the meaning of these decisions you have made and over rule you to make the life-saving decision to receive a transplant or other needed items from a living donor or cadaver donor.

Doc i need help, i managed to get a brain stuck in my knife
12:50
Well at least he's kurteus about cutting in line
10:16 I had that problem like 3 years ago. The only difference was that I was throwing up because of the pain. Been on the pill for it since.
imagine being blind for however long but not due to nerve damage but corneal damage, and then getting new corneas, how amazing would that be, i cant even imagine.
Omg, that eyeball story is the worst I've ever heard.
Oh the poor family who found out through the news...
I was really close to the janitor at my elementary school (I'm Autistic, and good gosh I was a demon child, so I was in the special needs department.)
And this janitor would always help the EA with all of us and would buy us chocolate milk and such. Surprisingly the students in our school were rather clean, and he was the only janitor so he figured he'd make good use of his time. He was one of the best people ever, maybe second to only my own EA who'd probably bend over backwards for me. Anyways, in grade ten I attended the Highschool literally next door to the elementary school. Someone I'd been in class with once who also had a disability was sing about the janitor. He didn't like him at all- I believe it was because he was raised to believe being larger was wrong. (He's lower functioning than I am and very gullible- some kids once made him strip in class for candy. He's the main reason I've taken intrest in martial arts, to say the least.)
Anyways, another old classmate scolded him, saying it was disrespectful to make fun of the dead. I thought he was just being a jerk at first, so I asked "What the heck? Is that the truth?" And apparently it was, according to him. I hardly believed him- I've had my fair share of being lying to my face so honestly? I really didn't believe him, even though out of everyone in my grade he's actually on the nicer side. The next day, in mathclass, his memorial was announced over the PA system. (Since he died of cancer they thought it was necessary, which I certainly wouldn't complain over.)
But I just broke down crying right there, and had to be escorted out of the class and eventually went home. The next day people in that class were asking me why I was so upset over a janitor, so I explained vaguely enough that they'd get the jist of it but wouldn't know I'm Autistic. Since then they would tease me about it, since they deemed the story made him sound like a pedophile. A few school supplies were impulsively thrown in that class- thankfully the teacher had an Autistic kid and know how to handle me- we had to sit through hundreds of lectures because I would snitch on everyone and everything. Think twice before you mock the teacher's pet.
I once took a woman stuck in a toilet to the hospital. She had fallen in. Maintenance was called in and they broke the toilet off of her.
Her backside formed a perfect seal to the toilet which is why we couldn’t free her on site.
8:46 geez dude must've been part car, cuz he was almost running on E-85 at that point XD
8:50 his blood is considered a hard liquor to vampires.
I'm sorry "they had to soak his eye in acetone to get it open" -- no. Please tell me a competent doctor didn't do that. Acetone can cause really serious permanent damage to the eye. Krazy Glue's website very very clearly says not to use any acetone-containing solution anywhere near your eye.
could be the idiots that tried using the acetone, the post is a bit ambiguous about that
Tell me what you would use? they already used super glue on the eye and the damage may have been worse if they left it alone.
What other option did they have? And maybe it was the idiots who tried the acetone; the post is a bit vague about it.
yeah I was thinking that couldn't have been right, might have been the idiots who tried it
@@speedy01247 That is absolutely not the case. super glue itself does not damage the eye anywhere near as badly as acetone does. Leaving it alone and letting it eventually detach is a much better option than giving yourself cataracts with acetone.
Just love that they chose Vindsvept - Distant as backgrounds music
I once slammmed a brick on my finger... 5 stitches and a very bloody hallway in my house that February 2nd 😂
this is probably the earliest I’ve been to a reddit video
I actually have a weird/ a little sad story from well over a decade ago.
tl;rd -Made 2 nurses think they were about to move a middle school vampire into the in-patient unit one night. Turns out depression can affect your blood pressure and pulse dramatically.
Not a Dr. but was a patient being checked out before entering a mental health facility late at night as a young teen (13). I was beyond just depressed at this point and brought in by my mom who was worried. I was not exactly voluntary, and this was my first -or many- admittance to a psych unit.
The nurses were checking my vitals manually and doing an initial interview when the girl looking for my pulse at my cut up wrist starts cracking jokes -just trying to keep things light- after not being able to find it there. She moved to my neck, and after a minute of trying she gets visibly worried when she can't find my pulse there too. She had the other nurse bring the machine into this tiny office area where they were interviewing me, and kept trying to lighten the mood with jokes about me being a vampire while we were waiting. The machine takes a few seconds to get a read on my blood pressure and pulse, but it does work. It was all extremely low. So...nope, not a real-life vampire kid. Sorry to disappoint them.
They asked the typical drug questions, but I was pretty obvious I wasn't on anything. Just... showing some serious physical effects of depression that they weren't used to seeing. The place was were the system sent kids who were under court order to go for mental/behavioral issues in our area. And while open to taking in and helping others, I don't think it was common for them to receive someone so depressed at such a young age.
In that girl with a painful period’s defense painful periods to point in which they interfere with her everyday is something you should see a doctor about. Probably just not an emergency doctor maybe her PCP
What is with all these guys with things stuck up their rectums? A 10" cucumber? A vibrator? A salt shaker? Wtf?!?
6:23 dude imagine the sheer panic and stress of the brother driving, just like ripping down to the hospital at like 120 mph with his dying brother only to smash through the fucking wall holy heck
3:08 and this is why i get terrible anxiety when i feel pain in any part of my body for an extended amount of time.. but usually it goes away within a day and never comes back so.. i guess im gud..
I knew a crazy lady who blew a .8 before. I think she may have done a 1.0 at one point too.
Also poor kid... I cant beleave someone could do that. I hope he has a better home... Haveing to loose his eyes cuz of that bs... :(
You might be from Chattanooga, TN around 1995-1997, if you have a locally famous meteorologist admitted to the emergency room with a dead cat with rigor mortis setting in, stuck on his junk.
The number one trauma and children's hospital in the region and the teaching hospital. The meteorologist also directed and ran the Science Theater at Northgate Mall.
that dude that was nicknamed 'Zippy' got me
Not really weirdest but a woman fell hiking,came into ER because she busted her dentures and they were imbedded in her gums.she cried because they were 2 yrs old and she did not have $3000 to replace them.turns out she had a severe concussion,jaw broke in 2 places,bruised ribs yet she hiked out of woods for half mile to a road for help.she still cried more for loss of dentures then from her injuries.wow
The horse thing is actually not that strange if you’ve been around them before
Of course this had to have tons of stories about stuff being stuck in butts
oof that eye story
Terrible people: puts cigarettes out in child’s eyes
Sans: *angrily sprinting*
I went to the ER once. I thought I had been bit by a brown recluse. Turns out is was a regular spider (my jeans were filled with them). Got charged $500. I will never go to the ER alive again.
how did you managed to get spider filled jeans? *the horror*
@@snowbirdybird Asking the real question here
@@snowbirdybird Better yet, why'd he put ON the spider-filled jeans? Especially with the concern that the spiders may have been of the brown recluse variety.
This wasn't in the ER but a general medicine floor at the hospital. Guy stated that he had been drinking a 30 pack of beer ever day for a while. I was impressed by the just the sheer volume of liquid that's 10.65L of fluid. So another way of putting it is imagine drinking 2.5 gallons of beer every day.
I was a housekeeper and keep in mind I don't actually have any clue what was going on, anyways, they took an older woman into the er( original reason unknown) but as I observed her she looked and acted very strange. She was very banged up and was bleeding in several spots including on her head and would constantly try to bite something. Blanket, hands, herself ect. She would also say things no one could understand. When I had to go in there to change her trash I was scared shitless but to this day I feel bad for her. I remember the nurse asking her if she was hungry while she was biting the blanket lol
I can relate to the period one. I had fibroids, so the pain I was in was ridiculous to the point that my sense of the pain scale is so skewed a 5 is “uncomfortable.” Went to the ER 4 times in May as I was literally bleeding out because my body was literally trying to birth my uterus. Pretty sure a lot of the doctors thought I was just med seeking because I specifically asked for dilaudid and/or morphine since those were the only two drugs I’d ever been given that helped with the intense pain I was in. Didn’t get either, just oxy 5mg which doesn’t have any effect on me. Ended up throwing up and literally passing out because I was in so much pain and the ER nurse wrote it off as I had had a reaction to the blood transfusion. That was my 4th transfusion in a month, and none of the others had had any adverse effects and it was about an hour after the transfusion when I puked and passed out. Suffice to say, they did end up doing an emergent hysteroscopy because I wouldn’t stop losing blood and, oh look, turns out I wasn’t faking
I'm sorry, you had FOUR FUCKING TRANSFUSIONS and they didn't think anything of it??
poor guy with the cancer
Impaled 4x4 guy seems like a nice person.
12:51
Love how he JUST got impaled by a wood post and is just vibing 😂
All props to the social worker who did not immediately beat the parents to death.
That sounds totally reasonable... that’s my kind of friend. Periods are scary sometimes.
I had an ap algebra teacher who has had 2.17% alcohol in his blood
Does he count as a light beer?
did he die
Emily Chandler no
Evonix possibly

Ok i cried that poor baby! 2yrs old and blind for life by pure evil!!! Bless his little heart!
7:36 be an organ donor, you don’t need that stuff in the afterlife and it’s a few extra brownie points for when you cross into the pearly gates. I don’t plan on dying young like everyone else but damnit it if I do I want every usable piece of me to go to people who need it.
So my dad had been diagnosed with afib and heart failure. He had been out of the hospital a week after they put a stent in. He told me and mom in a panic saying he's have chest pain that he's going to the hospital. On the way to the hospital we hit a massive bump in the road and then he farts this horrible bubbly fart. All three of us put the situation together and have to pull over we are laughing so hard. We were still concerned about his pain so he got checked out at the er anyway. Story gave the er doc a good laughh. TLDR my dad farted away a heart attack.
The sunburn itch one is understandable. Look up hells itch, my bro got pretty bad second degree sunburn and yeah he was going insane from how bad it itched and burned!
Apparently husband is allergic to lidocaine. Never seen him that manic and out of control. Couldn't do anything, had to wait it out. Longest 45 minutes ever.
Okay I have to point something out here. Yes, someone coming into an ER because sunburn is itchy sounds funny, but I have experienced something similar recently. (I'm Australian if that helps - sunburn very easy here) so I got a severe sunburn and went to the chemist to get something to help with the pain. Turns out the cream they gave me for the burn made me break out in hives ALL OVER THE SUNBURN. Now hives are an itchy pain in the ass, but these were hives from the devil himself that put me into a state of shock as I couldn't do anything to stop the itch AND pain at the same time. I went to the doctors shaking and crying and was given a shot of antihistamine into the sunburn.... sweet relief that was.
Sunburn is not something to sneeze at, people. And the itchy can be hell.
Not a doctor or anything like that but I get injured alot( because I'm a moron) I was 12 and had gotten lightly stabbed in the eye. While I was waiting in the waiting room to be treated a child was rushed in with horrible burns and dried blood was screaming at the top of her lungs. Her grandmother was with her. It's a small town,so my mom was friends with the sheriff and she had ask what had happened. Apparently 2 DAYS AGO the baby daddy of the child had dumped boiling grease onto the poor kid and the mom just put the kid in the room screaming and left her there until the granny came and took her to the hospital.... several hours after she say the burns. After I got my eye looked at and got some drops and a dope ass eye patch, we where about to leave when security had amped up. My mom later told me that the mom and the father where showing up to collect their kid, and the dad was armed. We left in a hurry. I don't know what happened after that. My eye healed completely and unfortunately I do not still have a dope ass eye patch
7:22 that veteran be like
EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SERVE
Idk in BAC but my aunts blood content was legit 50% alcohol. Must’ve freaked out someone in the hospital :( rip
Just listened to the story about the kids eyes. Now sitting in the parking lot at my job trying not to cry. That is one of the worst child abuse stories I have ever heard and I'm heartbroken for that child and totally sickened at how anyone, much less the parent, could do that to a child. How could the two people in this world that are supposed to love and protect that child could ever do something so horrible is beyond me.
.58 was NOT the highest blood alcohol level that guy had ever had? Isn't it medically impossible to be that high and not die? That is freaking crazy!
I was actually horrified at the thought of having to soak someone's eye in acetone, more so than glass getting in there. Not only is it in your eye, there's also an open wound!
This makes me feel better from going to the ER for what I thoughts was a heart attack. It turned out to be dehydration (which raised my heart rate) mixed with back pain and indigestion.
Trust me, it helps me also. I went from a fall on my leg that hase a metal joint sorta an extended knee replacment but worse. Also passing out for about 20min due to zero blood sugar pretty much. Hell, even my bloody nose that didnt stop for an hour requiring 5 units of blood and 2 units of white cells due to my cancer treatments.
Oh my!! The magnet thing! My cousin did that to his eyebrow when I was younger. We were on a road trip and he took to really strong magnets and stuck them on his eyebrow right next to his eyebrow piercing and the magnets got stuck. I was really young so I don’t remember much but I just remember looking back and seeing him laugh-crying and screaming until he eventually got it off. To this day his piercing doesn’t sit right because of it hahaha
the organ donation one always gets me, i have always thought that it should be something you opt OUT of and not in to. You still have the choice at the same time but more people would be in the program if they had to say no i do not want to give my organs after i am not using them anymore to save peoples lives
If people were made to donate, they'd probably mess up their insides to make those organs unusable and the US is pretty big on choices (as far as donating insides go).
I like the idea that you opt in and, thus, I've chosen not to donate my organs because they're my insides and a lot of my relatives mess up their insides.
From the beginning I was laughing my ass off!!! With the exception to the horrific child abuse
12:57 That guy deserves an award for keeping his cool like that.
me watching this knowing i might be in the er in the next two days because i have the exact same symptoms and everything as mumps but it’s not mumps because i’ve had all my vaccines and my jaw is swelling bigger and bigger dispute antibiotics and it has started swelling in the back of my throat causing my voice to sounds weird (i am also in extreme pain and can barely open my mouth and can barely sleep)
I hope you're doing better now. One of my nieces had similar symptoms before she was old enough to get the vaccine - a small baby - and the whole family was terrified. After lots of testing, turned out to be an infected salivary gland. We and the doctor were so relieved!
doctors in the ER tested me for herpes 4 times (each time was negative) before sending me to Children’s Hospital where they took one look at me and said “yeah you have Behçet’s Syndrome.” it was my immune system freaking the hell out and attacking anything it wanted. doctors at the ER had no idea what to do
Despite hearing that dente moore could be made of cow tails.... I'd still eat that trash over hot rice in a heart beat
