The woodshop is a major flex but also did yall see that double sided industrial fridge in the kitchen!? Ige seen industrial fridges all over but never a double sided one. That is some insane money.
I feel like the next step to this series is "When your wife is a primary/grade school teacher" and she recommends a wet paper towel, sitting down for a few minutes, and a sticker for all ailments
@@cshijinx It's basically bribery "I'll give you this gold smiley face sticker if you stop saying it hurts" Kid spends the rest of the day at school, but comes in the next day in a cast because his parents took him to get checked and his arm was broken and dislocated. The teacher stands by the wet blue paper towels would've fixed it 🤣
As a doctor, I want to say that I am just the opposite. I get too worried and stressed thinking of all the possible complications of any disease my children have and am always on the lookout for worsening signs and symptoms.
My dad is an intensive care doctor and I think he pretty much thinks and reacts like you. He's always careful and in the lookout for anything getting serious. I was really perplexed by this video. I thought all doctors were like my dad with their family.
Doctors really are unusually nonchalant about their own children's symptoms. I had to nag my parents for 4 years until they took me to see an ENT specialist who confirmed that I was indeed deaf in one ear. Couldn't tell me why though 😕
The self assuredness of thinking they know better than anyone else because they are your parent AND a doctor, means they are entirely resistant to ideas that they didn’t come up with themselves, or problems that they couldn’t solve themselves. Of course, this is an example of neglectful/abusive parents that just also happen to be doctors. You might get the same from parents who are pastors, teachers, or some other self-aggrandizing personality matrix like anti-vaxxers and creationists.
good thing that the health insurance covers up to 10 days of salary for each parent if a child under 12 is sick. edit: the days renew each year and are for each child individually. also when you're a single parent you have up to 25 days.
Mine would tell me, "okay you threw up so you should feel good enough to go to school." Once at school I would go to the nurse and she would call my babysitter to pick me up because I had a fever or flu 😂😂😂😂
Relatable. Basically I was convinced I was a hypochondriac. Found out at 23 that I have 3 chronic illnesses and a trust issues with both doctors and men. Thanks Dad.
Yeah doctors tried conversion therapy on me without my parents permission or knowledge (because they were 'concerned' I wasn't having underage sex), and made out everything from my congenital heart condition they knew of, to my rare genetic condition they didn't see the warning signs of were *all in my head*. I wouldn't trust one more than I can throw them and I only go to them when I'm fairly confident of which conditions it may be, and can guide them or be sure if they're doing a good history to rule out those things it might be. Otherwise I avoid them. Think I'd absolutely be dead if my parents were Drs too, god knows the ones I know tried their hardest to that end. -.-
ive been diagnosed as a hypochondriac, but i have a surgeon as a father, nurse as a mother, and some really bad anxiety and other mental health conditions. maybe they diagnosed me incorrectly bc ive been convinced of the same thing… a lot bc my parents have told me im a hypochondriac
So true! I’m from a don’t-worry-about-it family (my mom was a trained nurse though) and my husband is from a see-a-doctor!!!! family. Trying to find a middle ground can be so hard 😅😅😅
I'm a psychiatrist, my dad's a family physician (and a competent one). When I had blood in my stool and tenesmus, he told me it was nothing and that I was probably eating too much lentils and chickpeas (of which he is not a fan lol)... Turns out I had stage 3 rectal cancer! Good thing I have a friend who's a gastroenterologist. No worries, the story has a happy ending. Don't seek medical advise from family members!
@@ladybooog because they will be biased for family members. It's why you shouldn't practice medicine on your loved ones if an unbiased 3rd party practitioner is available. People are usually very against the idea of their loved ones having serious illnesses, so the emotion could cloud their judgment. Doctors are also human after all
MAN, THE LENTILS. I've got IBS and prolapse, currently under physiotherapy cause I'm too young to get operated. I went to the hospital two days to get checked for everything. My dad (ear-nose-throat doctor) was all about the lentils I eat, like I eat them 3x a day or something. We also meet two times a year... Don't know where they get it from! Glad you're doing ok! ❤️❤️ PS: Psychiatry would have been my go-to if I had studied medicine! 💕
Everyone’s sharing their stories so I decided to share mine as well. One day I ran a LOT at school. In the afternoon I started sensing muscle pain and it didn’t go away even after several days. I started to get more tired and weaker. I told my dad and he prescribed me some vitamins. I kept taking them but the pain never subsided and I was getting weaker. I started sleeping a LOT. Missed my classes, didn’t have the strength to eat. Then my parents decided we should visit doctors. We visited so many doctors but none could identify it. Then my mom talked to a professor in her hospital and she diagnosed me. It was a rare autoimmune disease. At one point, things got so awry that I had to stay in ICU (life support) for 12 days. God. Btw, both of my parents are docs. Thanks if you read it this far.
I am so sorry that your parents treated you the way that doctors have treated me... Genuinely sorry.. your story is too familiar. I hope you get better. I hope they become better doctors and parents.
My dad's a doctor and mom's a nurse. Yet somehow for some odd reason, inspite of being brilliant in their respective fields of work, they always brush off any ailment related to me, or don't give my diseases much thought. Like, it's kinda hilarious now. So I always get a second opinion outside the family.
Me, in such excruciating pain that I collapse onto the floor and start crying: My dad: “probably just pulled a muscle” Mom: “it’s because you’re on your computer” Doctor: “Yeah you’ve got two kidney stones”
@@melinacorts1626 If you are spending more than 1-2 hours on homework then you need to ask your teachers for assistance or clarity because you don't understand enough of the course work. And I am 100% confident no parent is complaining about their child being on the computer for doing homework.
So hilarious because it's true! I'm a nurse and that's what I always tell my husband all the time. On the other hand, he's a car mechanic and every time I tell him about something wrong with our car, he always says, "it's fine."
Oh derGawd. I lol'd! My dad was a a very good cardiac surgeon. He managed to miss my epilepsy, my sister's asthma, and my mother's Parkinsons disease. Yup
I know this is supposed to be a paraody but this is all doctors and specialists in general in all fields of medicine for the past 6+ years. I know because I've been sick for 16 years since the age of 15 and seen close to 550+ doctors, specialists and actual scientists who are pioneers in their fields and been to all the top ranked (in the world) most famous hospitals all over the country, some 2-3x, like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, John-Hopkins, and many many more. I have 20 extremely rare complex incurable and intractable chronic pain disorders and health problems that each have 3-7 subissues that span over a dozen different fields and subspecialty fields of medicine and these supposedly brilliant doctors are all idiots and couldn't give a **** about helping or figuring out even one of your many complex issues. Hippocrates is rolling over in his multi millenia grave.
This is so relatable.. my parents are both doctors and they don't take me serious AT ALL when I have health issues. It's convenient to ask them whenever something's up but I have also started to always get a second opinion which has helped me more than it should have lol Edit: To add a little flavor heres one of my experiences, my parents broke up when i was 5 and my mom moved states (we're living in germany so it wasnt as bad as moving states in the US) so i was only seeing my dad every two weekends. One friday on a weekend i was supposed to visit my dad i was having really bad stomach pain and had to really beg my mom to skip school because she was always very sceptic of me simulating. So while the stomach pain was only worsening during the day, my mom decided to finally look into it when she came back from work and noticed that my stomach was very pressure sensitive. That kind of flipped a switch for her and she immedietly took me to the hospital. On the ride there i called my dad and he was LIVID because he also thought i was just simulating so i wouldnt have to come see him on the weekend. Turned out that i had Appendicitis and my appendix had to be removed on the spot. Took my dad a few days to cool off but everything worked out at the end. In retrospect this might not have been the most fitting story but there are a few more i could think of, most recently related to shingles and scabies, but i think i will spare everyone who has read trough all of this :D
@@blacat2168 you were raised by two doctors and never once decided to look into their career paths ....or even just watch a medical show... If you were born into upper middle class or higher you have no right to be ignorant!!
My parents are paramedics and... same. When I was little they would send me to school after I had been sick, didn't get me to a doctor until I've had a fever for almost 2 weeks and when I had a bronchitis that my doctor prescribed me antibiotics for, my stepmom refused to get them for me. Give people a little knowledge and suddenly they know everything better than anyone
I feel like doctors do this to their children because they know the reality of what COULD be wrong based on the scope of their job. They downplay it so that they don't have to worry, but they're probably secretly terrified.
Problem is a lot of illness have common basic symptoms, that don't mean you are about to die. Whenever a news story comes on about some disease doctors are inundated with people who think the have the disease. The fact is everyone gets some aches and pains every now ant then. The majority are taken care of by the body. There seems to be some belief you should be 100% fit and healthy 24/7/356.
So true. Everytime I hear a complaint from my son or wife I shrug it off but in my mind I'm running through the most severe differential diagnoses and worry all night... Until the next day when the symptoms usually resolve. For example, when he had growing pains in his shins all I could think of was osteosarcoma or bone cancer.
Blew me away to see this, nearly my exact experience when I was diagnosed with Crohn's after months of issues. Really glad whenever I see some awareness being spread for IBD's
Inflammatory Bowel Disease's, for example Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. Both of which can lead to a litany of symptoms that can often be over looked until you are in dire need of medical intervention. Knowing what to look for is half the battle with these diseases and therefore awareness and having conversations about them with your family is so important but understandably so bowel movements can tend to be an uncomfortable subject.
Yeah, it took over 10 years of doctors telling me its all in my head before i was diagnosed with advanced crohns with esophogeal and lung growths. I almost needed a feeding tube 🤦♀️
@@AliciaGuitar wow I'm so sorry you both had to go through that, it can make you feel crazy when you know something isn't right but you can't figure out what. Strangely enough my situation was the other way around. My family were the ones telling me it was in my head and saying I just needed to eat more like I had an eating disorder, meanwhile I couldn't keep any food down between bouts of incontinence and being doubled over in pain (later turned out I had a 5x5cm abscess in my pelvic cavity). If it wasn't for the care I received from my nurses, gastro and surgical teams I would not be here today. Nasal gastric tubes are so uncomfortable 😖 was hands down worse than my laparotomy haha 😂
Having parents in a specific field of work means that they're not gonna work on that field for you. Be that doctor, teacher, chef, or even taylor. They're not gonna do all those work at home.
Highly relatable. Mom was an ER nurse for most of my life, got her doctorate in nursing, and now teaches nursing to University students....there was a rule in my house. "If you're not bleeding or on fire, you're fine."
Lmfao that's the rule in this house: "No blood, no problem!" Unfortunately that meant, when one of our children *did* get a cut, it was usually a HUGE problem!
Very relatable even though no one is a doctor in my family. Dad always said "If it's not blood or fire. Don't wake me up." Long story short...American health care is expensive.
@@maggie_o5233 $70 for ER bill/care??? Damn, obviously you are not in U.S. I would actually go see a doctor for that price rather than self diagnose like I have to.
This is so accurate. My mom thought I was a being a malingerer but really I had an appendicil abscess. She eventually redeemed herself by insisting my pediatrician order an ultrasound… during which my appendix ruptured. I was whisked off to emergency surgery where they discovered my entire abdominal cavity flooded with purulent matter. Damn retrocecal appendix!
Love when our parents brush off our feelings. Gets us very prepared to brush off our own emotions in life, and prepared for others sweeping our feelings aside as well. Great work parents!
So this is something that happened to my younger brother. He was extremely thin and couldn't move faster than a shamble and I had been trying to get my mom to take him to the doctor for a while. She would say "he's just not eating enough" and would force him to eat more every day. And one day he came to me (because my mom wouldn't listen to him and I actually look into this kinda stuff because I find it interesting) and asked why his stomach would be hurting. And I told him to stop drinking coffee (which was also giving him panic attacks) for the time being while I try to convince my mom to take him to the doctor. His stomach pain went away for a couple of months... Until he started to poop blood. After this started happening I would try to convince my mom to take him to the doctor DAILY! So she decided to put him on a "special" diet to try and fix the problem! After WEEKS she finally decided to take him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He's getting the treatment and medication he needs now. He has put on some weight and he's more lively and moves around a lot more and he seems happier too.
My athletic trainer dad: move it more, it’ll make it get better faster, it’s probably just too weak To clarify: my collarbone was broken and that not only made it worse, but could’ve pushed it out of position so I would have to get surgery to fix it
Literally yesterday I was having pain in my chest whenever I breathed too deep. I told my brother and father and they both told me to stop breathing for a little bit to see if it got better. My father has worked in a hospital for years, and my brother is in med school right now.
Reminds me of the jokes locals make about living in the rez Me: "My arm appears to be missing" The nursing station: "take a tylenol and come back in 24 hours if you lose another"
1962. My lips swell up and I can't breathe. My mom and dad rushed me to the doctor. I am only two years old. My mom told the doctor she was afraid I was gonna pass out. The doctor turns to her and says, "don't worry he'll come to". So much for pediatrician to the 20th Century
Lol my dad was a paramedic for 35 years, i totally understand this. I once went a full week with a fractured arm, we didn't end up going to the hospital until I fell on it at the beach and fucked it up even worse. Then we drove four and a half hours so we could go to the hospital in our town 😂
So true!!! When a parent is a doctor, you get zero sympathy anytime you’re ill. At least with my mom. She would always say things like “did you sleep well? have you eaten? have you had water?” Which segues into….you’re fine. I remember one time when I was in my late teens a year or so before I moved out. I was so cold that I had probably four or five blankets around me, and I had a fever- a bad one, even for me. But I was too cold to get my phone on the bedside table. So I just laid there and tried to sleep. My fever was so high that not only did I have really trippy dreams that I still remember to this day but I hallucinated that lions were under my mattress. I woke up the next morning and the first thing I said (100% seriously) was “the lions are gone!” I told my mom about it afterwards of course, and I remember feeling so vindicated that I actually got sympathy.It only took the highest fever I’ve ever had.
I was doing this to myself for months before my Crohn's was diagnosed, no doctor parent needed. Every bowel movement is diarrhea, I'm in terrible pain, and I'm falling asleep on the couch at 8 pm after a tiring day of lying on said couch? Maybe there's still a chance it'll just go away on its own... Narrator voice: It didn't.
Couldn’t agree more. Although, let’s say my mom didn’t help. Hope you’re doing ok right now, I know it can be tough. Stay uh, healthy? I’m not great at this 😅
@@FunkyVibin Doing pretty great at the moment on Stelara! *knock on wood* These days it almost amuses me to look back at how much I wanted to believe that I was overstating my own symptoms before I was diagnosed. Hope you're doing all right now, yourself!
@@Alina-pf3ob ikr? The undertone here is fucked up healthcare systems, not oxymoronic parents lmao But dismissive/denial parents could work into the uncared health thing. But oxymoronic is like a whole new genre
This is too true! I was in bed with 103.7 degree fever awhile ago. My dad (who is a doctor) said don’t worry. Ended up going to urgent care the next day and they found out I had pneumonia 🙃
Nah, a person can suffer from daily syncope for months and have episodic syncope and they do nothing…a few decades in and they send you to cardiology, neurology, and then bother to look at the pattern in your vital over the last few months…because looking at the vitals is so difficult.
100% accurate - Things my doctor dad told me "were nothing" - slipped epiphysis at 10, been complaining for 4 months. Acute Acalulous Cholecystitis, When I decided to ignore him and go to the ED, he followed me and tried to talk the ED doctor into just taking out my gallbladder because "You don't really need it, and it'll be great help for you to lose weight.", I had a nasty fall in 2019 and had a spiral fracture up my left ankle (Incidentally same leg as the slipped epiphysis so now I have a perma limp) he told me it was just a sprain so I was hobbling around it for a couple of days. That required surgical correction, but the incision never healed up, he kept looking at it going "nah, looks fine, Don't bother your surgeon about this." Turns out I still had a stitch that hadn't dissolved in there and it was rotting on the inside - Cue 6 surgeries for multiple washouts later "Oh I figured it was infected and probably would still have undissolved stitches in there. Why didn't you see the surgeon??" He also bounces daily between Covid being nothing to be concerned about and "You must make sure you don't get it, because you're high risk for complications." And he wonders why I stopped talking to him.
Holy fuck! He must be a shit doctor, this kind of thing like the infected incision and the whole covid being nothing are outrageous , and that's coming from another physician
Gotta love a hypochondriac who is also super manipulative.. I have a sibling like that.. Cut them out a my life 3 years ago and have never been happier.
Your dad's a doctor who sometimes says "covid is nothing to worry about"? Your whole story goes to show that every profession has its share of horrible people. Sorry you had to deal with that!
My mom is an MD 😭she has spent my entire life telling me "you're fine" and to "stop being a hypochondriac". No mom, i'm not a hypochondriac. My medical care team as an adult that now includes over a half a dozen specialists that highly disagree with her "assessment". Actually chronically ill.
I'm not talking about your case in particular but the honest truth is if you try hard enough you will always be able to find 'half a dozen of specialists' who think that there is something wrong with you. This is especially true in countries like America where they have a financial incentive for treating you.
@@mistletoe88 one primary doc running the show, referring to specialists… who have referred to other specialists as well (ex: genetics wanted me to see rheumatology as well). I haven’t asked for any of them (except one because I wanted one person managing my meds, so I asked for a referral for a psychiatrist), they’ve all been guided by my symptoms and test results. But thanks for being another reason why people with chronic invisible illnesses have such a hard time being believed in society. Chronic illness exists. Hidden disabilities exist. We are no less valid than our visible counterparts. I live in pain everyday. I have since before puberty. And we are just now starting to put the pieces together as to why.
I think it's denial in a way. We do not want to diagnose my child with any ailment so yes it's fine until it is not. When my own kid gets ill or has a temperature, I always get her to be seen by another provider. I just can't be objective when my kid is ill
Yup, this was my dad when my son was born. My baby kept looking yellow and he said that I wasn't putting him to the sun long enough. Turned out, yes, he needed more sun, but he also came back positive for hepatitis A 🙂 we still have no clue where he got infected
@@chimerasofhafgufa Thank you. They actually found out after the infection had passed. We were very puzzled as to how a 1-month-old baby got infected. My husband and I came back negative and I always bathe him with distilled water as per his pediatrician's advice. And he was breastfed. It was really strange. But he is ok now ❤️
@@SaraHinata sometimes it just happens, microorganisms that cause infections are basically everywhere and we can try what we can to reduce them but sometimes they slip into unexpected spots and we get it there
Yup my dad used to tell me that going to school would heal me. He sent me walking (cause thats how i would normally go) there the day after y ruptured a ligament on my knee and then came 4 years of pain and my kneecap just going out of its place daily and doctor after doctor that couldnt find the problem and continued to call me crazy and fat and made me exercice on top of the lesion and of course it made it so so much worse to the point of my kneecap chipping from comming off so much and my ligament being reduced to nubs in each side.. and of course my dad just not believing me. just after i moved out and my kneecap not going into its place after i sat on the floor and slapped it in like always and going to an actual knee doctor who finally believed me and knew what he was doing i had a piece of another ligament inserted where i didnt have one left to use and im able to kinda run 12 years after.. woo dads.. ffs
@@alicedodobirb2808 i did.. tons of specialists and tests.. ive seen my insides so much lmao.. they couldnt see the broken ligament bc it was so broken you really coudnt see it unless you were activly looking for it.. which is what the last doctor did.. he moved my kneecap what it felt like all the way around my leg lol and he was like yep.. it broken. And he knew exactly what to look for.. even then it was hard to see but it was there and i wasnt crazy lol.. i actually called my dad sobbing right there in the consult and he didnt believe me and yelled and the doctor that there was nothing wrong with me and i was faking it and just fat and lazy and the doctor had to say a few things to him and yeah.. when i handed him the piece of chipped kneecap ita safe to say he didnt doubt (much) any other shit i told him was going on with my body lol
@@alicedodobirb2808 only 10 years after the whole thing i can kinda run.. and walk normally.. before that i used my calf and glute to do anything with that leg.. its been hard but i think im fine thanks for askingg! Im completely functional.. the muscle is not as big as my other leg's and i cant crouch just with the bad one but who needs that lol the worst thing that stayed is the nerve damage from the surgery thoo i cant feel the last layer of skin close to one of the scars and i cant scratch it when it itches and it hurts really bad when i put pressure on it.. yesh thats the worst part lol
Omg I can relate to this so well. All three of my parents are doctors. All these kids were always fine until it turns out that we had the plague. Love them all, but doctors make the worst parents when it comes to recognizing their own sick kids
This definitely true, my dad, a doctor cares way less about our health than my mom lol. “Dad I think I’m gonna throw up” “Get a bowl and try to go to sleep”
@@labrigfulfr tho, I learned pretty early on to just like, deal with it like my mom did. What’s she gonna do, hold the bowl? Nah g, I’d rather languish
You know I really thought I was the only one. I'm a 4th yr med student going into Emergency Medicine, and I sometimes brush off my son's little ailments when my wife brings my attention. Thank God she never trusts my judgment. Thanks Doc Schmidt for this video... #selfawareness
My dad's a ear-nose-throat doctor and for the first 16 years of my life he worked at the children's hospital operating almost all of my friends. I would have died to get him to see me but I never had anything concerning ear/nose or throat. At 19 I got a huge tonsillitis that lasted 6 month, after which my tonsils shrunk and basically said goodbye to the whole world. While I was in the worst pain he kept saying "that's because you don't cover up enough when you go outside". When they finally shrunk he "knew it was going to happen". Doctors in family are the worst doctors.
Totally standard parent response when you grew up in the 60s/70s. Never had a day off school. My poor brother broke his arm and mum still sent him to school before it was x-rayed. Not even kidding 😂🤣
A similar thing happened to me :( after 3 months of suffering I got a colonoscopy which showed severe infectious colitis requiring several weeks of antibiotics. Took me a year to regain the weight I lost and another year to regain my normal bowel habits. Take care of your gut people.
What did you do to regain your normal bowel habits? Did you have to change your diet drastically? I also am going to try Gut Heal herbal tea myself and just want to recommend it to you, too! Find it from a good local botanical or herbal store you trust.
@@alicedodobirb2808 they're nutrient-dense legumes (with around 9g of protein in a half cup of brown lentils) that also have high amounts of some important vitamins and minerals, and are usually pretty cheap in grocery stores. However, raw lentils have a protein called lectin, which binds to your digestive tract and can cause reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea. Lectin breaks down with heat though, so cooked lentils should be fine.
In norway we have a saying "skomakerens barn, har de dårlige skoene" (the shoemakers kids, has the worst shoes) often shortened to just "skomakerens barn" (the shoemakers kids) meaning that the kids of parents working in any proffesion usually doesn't profit from it and probably are worse off than others, i felt like this was a great example of this.
My grandfather was a medic in WWII. Formally, he had an 8th grade education, but was the smartest man I knew growing up. My mother took me to him for everything - even when I SEVERELY broke my ankle. He wrapped it up and gave me crutches. I didn’t find out until I was 30 that I had actually broken it badly and it didn’t heal back correctly, so I had to have surgery. It wasn’t rebroken because it was aligned enough and not causing pain. It was just floppy and turned in. I sprained it a lot because it was so weak. The ligaments were 3x too long. Fast forward from that very painful recovery and my ankle is better than new. Sometimes having family that’s in medicine is not really a good thing. I wasn’t taken to the doctor when I should’ve been, which I guess is the point of this whole video, lol.
Sounds accurate 🤣 I didn’t get diagnosed for Ulcerative Colitis until it was completely out of control and the first time I had a half colonoscopy my mom convinced me it was such a no big deal that I went to work immediately after, she drove me. She’s a nurse btw and I was 17 🤷♀️
Both my husband's parents were in the medical field. As a child, my husband once spent a whole afternoon trying to draw attention to the fact that his arm was broken!
Lol that is so true, my mom is an OB/GYN and so many times when I feel something is off she says something akin to "don't worry about it you're young and healthy".
Neighbour: "Excuse me sir, but your son died" Dad: "I won't worry about that." Neighbour: "Me either. But it has been 3 days now & it is beginning to rot & I can smell the bad from my house."
Both my parents are doctors and are the complete opposite. When I had a stomachache as a kid they would do the palpitation/percussion tapping. And they always had a list of blood tests they wanted the doctors to do.
My sister fell out of a tree and told my dad that she thought she broke her arm and he said "no you're fine you didn't break your arm let me see it" and when she showed him her forearm was in the shape of the letter L.
Fortunately for me, my nurse-mom usually is the opposite. Though she will be rather ruthless when it comes to treatments ("stop fussing and sit STILL" etc)
I really hope I don’t get like this if/when I’m a doctor. I hear about this all the time but I couldn’t imagine neglecting clear signs that something is wrong and should be looked into. I am, currently, a healthcare nag towards my friends and family, always telling people to get stuff they’re ignoring or putting off checked out, so, hopefully, that won’t go away with experience.
My comment is not in the medical field; I have no clue in that but I know some things about woodworking. Please tell you dad he should be careful with gloves around power tools! I saw some pretty nasty injuries due to gloves which got caught in machinery.
I FREAKING LOVE THIS! YOUR DAD HAS THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS! DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT AND BE COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED!! I believe sometimes we worry TOO MUCH in my opinion. My mother was a medical transcriptionist for decades and I would tell her my symptoms all the time and she would say "take acetaminophen" or "try doxycycline" , etc. and all these big names and would tell me what milligram to take and what fluids to drink. When I went to the doctor the meds they gave me were ALWAYS spot on what she told me! Now at 30 whenever someone ask me about a symptom I do the same thing with NO MEDICAL EXPERIENCE LOL but somehow I'm right most times!
My dad is a doctor and this is ridiculously accurate. Props to my teachers because once I bled into the joint in my elbow and couldn’t extend it at. My dad did the classic ‘you’re fine, I wouldn’t worry about it’. After a few days my teacher rang my mum and demanded they take me to the hospital. An ultrasound, a cast, eight weeks healing, and 4 weeks of physiotherapy later I got back full mobility. I guess in the end I was fine. He also said the same thing when I broke my wrist skiing. Thankfully the ski patrol were less convinced and took me down to the hospital. I think you have to be bleeding out or seizing to get your doctor dads attention😅😂
I can confirm that this is how med parents are.😂🤣 I love my mom but if I trusted her opinion on my health problems all the time I’d probably be in a coffin right now.😅
Honestly, while caring for doctor’s children, their lack of concern for the children’s health pissed me off. I had one kid who came in with the same dirty bandage 3 days in a row that was covering a huge skin injury from their treadmill. Babies coming in with fevers, babies coming in with cradle cap to the point I had to step in. Can honestly say the kids who were the dirtiest were kids of doctors and nurses. Poor things..
You make laugh a lot. as an eye doctor myself I can confirm this. Every time my wife ask me if I can do something with our toddler pink eye, I always respond “he’ll be fine”
We have a couple of sayings about this in portuguese: "casa de ferreiro, espeto de pau" (in a blacksmith's house, the skewer is made out of wood) and "santo de casa não faz milagre" (the saint of the house doesn't make any miracles), meaning people never use their craft's specialty at home
Something similar but different proffession: My mom works with mentally disabled/ill children (has a general education degree) and whenever I would raise concerns about my mental health she would hit me with the "no you're not like them". She also admitted that despite her degree she is often treating me the exact way you are not supposed to as a parent. Because she works with children around age 1-6 and I am 18 and she uses the same methods such as ignoring me till I cool off. works with toddlers not with grown ups

As a doctor, I want to say that I am just the opposite. I get too worried and stressed thinking of all the possible complications of any disease my children have and am always on the lookout for worsening signs and symptoms.
I'm glad to hear there's at least one doctor in the world who actually cares about their own children. Keep up the good work.
Lol I’m relieved
Your the type of doctor I crave!!!!
This is EXACTLY what i would think..
My dad is an intensive care doctor and I think he pretty much thinks and reacts like you. He's always careful and in the lookout for anything getting serious. I was really perplexed by this video. I thought all doctors were like my dad with their family.
Doctors really are unusually nonchalant about their own children's symptoms. I had to nag my parents for 4 years until they took me to see an ENT specialist who confirmed that I was indeed deaf in one ear. Couldn't tell me why though 😕
Denial maybe 🤔
Maybe you just didn’t hear him
@@makisjnx007 ha ha lol
The self assuredness of thinking they know better than anyone else because they are your parent AND a doctor, means they are entirely resistant to ideas that they didn’t come up with themselves, or problems that they couldn’t solve themselves.
Of course, this is an example of neglectful/abusive parents that just also happen to be doctors. You might get the same from parents who are pastors, teachers, or some other self-aggrandizing personality matrix like anti-vaxxers and creationists.
My mom is like this, very true
Although usually I just nag her about small symptoms when I'm actually fine
"You'll feel better once you get to school" -

good thing that the health insurance covers up to 10 days of salary for each parent if a child under 12 is sick. edit: the days renew each year and are for each child individually. also when you're a single parent you have up to 25 days.
Mine would tell me, "okay you threw up so you should feel good enough to go to school." Once at school I would go to the nurse and she would call my babysitter to pick me up because I had a fever or flu 😂😂😂😂

Relatable. Basically I was convinced I was a hypochondriac. Found out at 23 that I have 3 chronic illnesses and a trust issues with both doctors and men.

My mum did that with me every time i was sick lmao.
Wow, could not relate to this more. 💯
Yeah doctors tried conversion therapy on me without my parents permission or knowledge (because they were 'concerned' I wasn't having underage sex), and made out everything from my congenital heart condition they knew of, to my rare genetic condition they didn't see the warning signs of were *all in my head*.
I wouldn't trust one more than I can throw them and I only go to them when I'm fairly confident of which conditions it may be, and can guide them or be sure if they're doing a good history to rule out those things it might be.
Otherwise I avoid them.
Think I'd absolutely be dead if my parents were Drs too, god knows the ones I know tried their hardest to that end. -.-

@@ladybooog because they will be biased for family members. It's why you shouldn't practice medicine on your loved ones if an unbiased 3rd party practitioner is available. People are usually very against the idea of their loved ones having serious illnesses, so the emotion could cloud their judgment. Doctors are also human after all
A decade or two of telling your kid “you’re fine don’t worry about it” internalizes really oddly I guess.
MAN, THE LENTILS. I've got IBS and prolapse, currently under physiotherapy cause I'm too young to get operated. I went to the hospital two days to get checked for everything. My dad (ear-nose-throat doctor) was all about the lentils I eat, like I eat them 3x a day or something. We also meet two times a year... Don't know where they get it from! Glad you're doing ok! ❤️❤️

Everyone’s sharing their stories so I decided to share mine as well. One day I ran a LOT at school. In the afternoon I started sensing muscle pain and it didn’t go away even after several days. I started to get more tired and weaker. I told my dad and he prescribed me some vitamins. I kept taking them but the pain never subsided and I was getting weaker. I started sleeping a LOT. Missed my classes, didn’t have the strength to eat. Then my parents decided we should visit doctors. We visited so many doctors but none could identify it. Then my mom talked to a professor in her hospital and she diagnosed me. It was a rare autoimmune disease. At one point, things got so awry that I had to stay in ICU (life support) for 12 days. God. Btw, both of my parents are docs. Thanks if you read it this far.
which rare autoimmune disease? if you don't mind me asking.
Omg. How are you doing now? Hope you're fine.

Edit: To add a little flavor heres one of my experiences, my parents broke up when i was 5 and my mom moved states (we're living in germany so it wasnt as bad as moving states in the US) so i was only seeing my dad every two weekends. One friday on a weekend i was supposed to visit my dad i was having really bad stomach pain and had to really beg my mom to skip school because she was always very sceptic of me simulating. So while the stomach pain was only worsening during the day, my mom decided to finally look into it when she came back from work and noticed that my stomach was very pressure sensitive. That kind of flipped a switch for her and she immedietly took me to the hospital. On the ride there i called my dad and he was LIVID because he also thought i was just simulating so i wouldnt have to come see him on the weekend. Turned out that i had Appendicitis and my appendix had to be removed on the spot. Took my dad a few days to cool off but everything worked out at the end. In retrospect this might not have been the most fitting story but there are a few more i could think of, most recently related to shingles and scabies, but i think i will spare everyone who has read trough all of this :D

Give people a little knowledge and suddenly they know everything better than anyone
I feel like doctors do this to their children because they know the reality of what COULD be wrong based on the scope of their job. They downplay it so that they don't have to worry, but they're probably secretly terrified.
Completely true. I hear any symptoms from my family and I shit myself thinking of the worst possible causes.
Problem is a lot of illness have common basic symptoms, that don't mean you are about to die. Whenever a news story comes on about some disease doctors are inundated with people who think the have the disease.
The fact is everyone gets some aches and pains every now ant then. The majority are taken care of by the body.
There seems to be some belief you should be 100% fit and healthy 24/7/356.
So true. Everytime I hear a complaint from my son or wife I shrug it off but in my mind I'm running through the most severe differential diagnoses and worry all night... Until the next day when the symptoms usually resolve. For example, when he had growing pains in his shins all I could think of was osteosarcoma or bone cancer.

Blew me away to see this, nearly my exact experience when I was diagnosed with Crohn's after months of issues. Really glad whenever I see some awareness being spread for IBD's
What are IBDs?
Inflammatory Bowel Disease's, for example Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. Both of which can lead to a litany of symptoms that can often be over looked until you are in dire need of medical intervention. Knowing what to look for is half the battle with these diseases and therefore awareness and having conversations about them with your family is so important but understandably so bowel movements can tend to be an uncomfortable subject.
Yeah, it took over 10 years of doctors telling me its all in my head before i was diagnosed with advanced crohns with esophogeal and lung growths. I almost needed a feeding tube 🤦♀️
@@AliciaGuitar wow I'm so sorry you both had to go through that, it can make you feel crazy when you know something isn't right but you can't figure out what. Strangely enough my situation was the other way around. My family were the ones telling me it was in my head and saying I just needed to eat more like I had an eating disorder, meanwhile I couldn't keep any food down between bouts of incontinence and being doubled over in pain (later turned out I had a 5x5cm abscess in my pelvic cavity). If it wasn't for the care I received from my nurses, gastro and surgical teams I would not be here today.
Nasal gastric tubes are so uncomfortable 😖 was hands down worse than my laparotomy haha 😂
Having parents in a specific field of work means that they're not gonna work on that field for you. Be that doctor, teacher, chef, or even taylor. They're not gonna do all those work at home.

Highly relatable. Mom was an ER nurse for most of my life, got her doctorate in nursing, and now teaches nursing to University students....there was a rule in my house. "If you're not bleeding or on fire, you're fine."
Lmfao that's the rule in this house: "No blood, no problem!" Unfortunately that meant, when one of our children *did* get a cut, it was usually a HUGE problem!
That's so crazy to me, I'm the parent that gets everything checked out 🤣 Drives my husband nuts! "Another $70 ER charge for a cold 😤" 🤭😁
Very relatable even though no one is a doctor in my family. Dad always said "If it's not blood or fire. Don't wake me up." Long story short...American health care is expensive.

@@maggie_o5233 $70 for ER bill/care??? Damn, obviously you are not in U.S. I would actually go see a doctor for that price rather than self diagnose like I have to.
As someone with doctors for parents, this is scarily accurate
This is so accurate. My mom thought I was a being a malingerer but really I had an appendicil abscess. She eventually redeemed herself by insisting my pediatrician order an ultrasound… during which my appendix ruptured. I was whisked off to emergency surgery where they discovered my entire abdominal cavity flooded with purulent matter. Damn retrocecal appendix!
The appendix is just nature's time bomb :)

From the perspective someone who’s dad is a nurse, if you aren’t actively dying, you just need to take some Tylenol. You’re fine.
Thats my mom too. Shes not a medical professional but everytime I tell her im not feeling well her answer is to take some tylenol and go to sleep. Lol
So this is something that happened to my younger brother. He was extremely thin and couldn't move faster than a shamble and I had been trying to get my mom to take him to the doctor for a while. She would say "he's just not eating enough" and would force him to eat more every day. And one day he came to me (because my mom wouldn't listen to him and I actually look into this kinda stuff because I find it interesting) and asked why his stomach would be hurting. And I told him to stop drinking coffee (which was also giving him panic attacks) for the time being while I try to convince my mom to take him to the doctor. His stomach pain went away for a couple of months... Until he started to poop blood. After this started happening I would try to convince my mom to take him to the doctor DAILY! So she decided to put him on a "special" diet to try and fix the problem! After WEEKS she finally decided to take him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He's getting the treatment and medication he needs now. He has put on some weight and he's more lively and moves around a lot more and he seems happier too.

@@Sheena_isapunkrocker it was a rough week lol
So true!!! When a parent is a doctor, you get zero sympathy anytime you’re ill. At least with my mom. She would always say things like “did you sleep well? have you eaten? have you had water?” Which segues into….you’re fine.
I remember one time when I was in my late teens a year or so before I moved out. I was so cold that I had probably four or five blankets around me, and I had a fever- a bad one, even for me. But I was too cold to get my phone on the bedside table. So I just laid there and tried to sleep. My fever was so high that not only did I have really trippy dreams that I still remember to this day but I hallucinated that lions were under my mattress. I woke up the next morning and the first thing I said (100% seriously) was “the lions are gone!” I told my mom about it afterwards of course, and I remember feeling so vindicated that I actually got sympathy.It only took the highest fever I’ve ever had.
I was doing this to myself for months before my Crohn's was diagnosed, no doctor parent needed. Every bowel movement is diarrhea, I'm in terrible pain, and I'm falling asleep on the couch at 8 pm after a tiring day of lying on said couch? Maybe there's still a chance it'll just go away on its own...

100% accurate - Things my doctor dad told me "were nothing" - slipped epiphysis at 10, been complaining for 4 months.
Acute Acalulous Cholecystitis, When I decided to ignore him and go to the ED, he followed me and tried to talk the ED doctor into just taking out my gallbladder because "You don't really need it, and it'll be great help for you to lose weight.", I had a nasty fall in 2019 and had a spiral fracture up my left ankle (Incidentally same leg as the slipped epiphysis so now I have a perma limp) he told me it was just a sprain so I was hobbling around it for a couple of days.
That required surgical correction, but the incision never healed up, he kept looking at it going "nah, looks fine, Don't bother your surgeon about this." Turns out I still had a stitch that hadn't dissolved in there and it was rotting on the inside - Cue 6 surgeries for multiple washouts later "Oh I figured it was infected and probably would still have undissolved stitches in there. Why didn't you see the surgeon??"
He also bounces daily between Covid being nothing to be concerned about and "You must make sure you don't get it, because you're high risk for complications."
And he wonders why I stopped talking to him.
Holy fuck! He must be a shit doctor, this kind of thing like the infected incision and the whole covid being nothing are outrageous , and that's coming from another physician
Gotta love a hypochondriac who is also super manipulative.. I have a sibling like that.. Cut them out a my life 3 years ago and have never been happier.

I'm not talking about your case in particular but the honest truth is if you try hard enough you will always be able to find 'half a dozen of specialists' who think that there is something wrong with you.

As a nurse, I am much more cautious as well. However, I have family that likes to ask for my advice, then say I worry too much, and not see anyone.
As the kid of Navy medical personnel, your videos involving your parents are SO DAMN RELATABLE, OMG. 😂
I think it's denial in a way. We do not want to diagnose my child with any ailment so yes it's fine until it is not. When my own kid gets ill or has a temperature, I always get her to be seen by another provider. I just can't be objective when my kid is ill
No, it's because as a doctor he knows that the vast majority of aches and pains are typical and will resolve themselves, or probably self inflicted.
Yup, this was my dad when my son was born. My baby kept looking yellow and he said that I wasn't putting him to the sun long enough. Turned out, yes, he needed more sun, but he also came back positive for hepatitis A 🙂 we still have no clue where he got infected
im so sorry this had happened to your son
@@chimerasofhafgufa Thank you. They actually found out after the infection had passed. We were very puzzled as to how a 1-month-old baby got infected. My husband and I came back negative and I always bathe him with distilled water as per his pediatrician's advice. And he was breastfed. It was really strange. But he is ok now ❤️
@@SaraHinata sometimes it just happens, microorganisms that cause infections are basically everywhere and we can try what we can to reduce them but sometimes they slip into unexpected spots and we get it there
From the hospital, perhaps?
Yup my dad used to tell me that going to school would heal me. He sent me walking (cause thats how i would normally go) there the day after y ruptured a ligament on my knee and then came 4 years of pain and my kneecap just going out of its place daily and doctor after doctor that couldnt find the problem and continued to call me crazy and fat and made me exercice on top of the lesion and of course it made it so so much worse to the point of my kneecap chipping from comming off so much and my ligament being reduced to nubs in each side.. and of course my dad just not believing me. just after i moved out and my kneecap not going into its place after i sat on the floor and slapped it in like always and going to an actual knee doctor who finally believed me and knew what he was doing i had a piece of another ligament inserted where i didnt have one left to use and im able to kinda run 12 years after.. woo dads.. ffs
Wow... That truly sucks. Did you go to a normal doc or a hospital? Because a hospital should've found the problem. I'm glad you finally got it fixed!
@@alicedodobirb2808 i did.. tons of specialists and tests.. ive seen my insides so much lmao.. they couldnt see the broken ligament bc it was so broken you really coudnt see it unless you were activly looking for it.. which is what the last doctor did.. he moved my kneecap what it felt like all the way around my leg lol and he was like yep.. it broken. And he knew exactly what to look for.. even then it was hard to see but it was there and i wasnt crazy lol.. i actually called my dad sobbing right there in the consult and he didnt believe me and yelled and the doctor that there was nothing wrong with me and i was faking it and just fat and lazy and the doctor had to say a few things to him and yeah.. when i handed him the piece of chipped kneecap ita safe to say he didnt doubt (much) any other shit i told him was going on with my body lol
@@_sch_eme_ man now THAT sucks. I can imagine how it could be hard to spot. How is your leg now?
@@alicedodobirb2808 only 10 years after the whole thing i can kinda run.. and walk normally.. before that i used my calf and glute to do anything with that leg.. its been hard but i think im fine thanks for askingg! Im completely functional.. the muscle is not as big as my other leg's and i cant crouch just with the bad one but who needs that lol the worst thing that stayed is the nerve damage from the surgery thoo i cant feel the last layer of skin close to one of the scars and i cant scratch it when it itches and it hurts really bad when i put pressure on it.. yesh thats the worst part lol
@@_sch_eme_ I'm so glad it didn't end too horribly!! Congrats on what I assume was a successful surgery or medical procedure!
Your dad seems to be more of a carpenter than a doctor
Omg I can relate to this so well. All three of my parents are doctors. All these kids were always fine until it turns out that we had the plague. Love them all, but doctors make the worst parents when it comes to recognizing their own sick kids
You have 3 parents??
@@johanna5688 hahahaha good one! Stil laughing
@@annarawlings6841 Well they do say it takes a village to raise a kid. Apparently so. 🤣🤣
This definitely true, my dad, a doctor cares way less about our health than my mom lol.
“Dad I think I’m gonna throw up”
“Get a bowl and try to go to sleep”
Actual good advice
@@labrigfulfr tho, I learned pretty early on to just like, deal with it like my mom did. What’s she gonna do, hold the bowl? Nah g, I’d rather languish
When your dad is quality assurance for a home builder: *MacGyvered repair* “it’s fine it’ll hold.” 😂
“Drink some water, get an early night” tagline of my childhood!
Was the Dr in your life a DO? Their favorite Rx for everything is water 😁
"Dad, my leg was severed from my body in a work accident. I'm bleeding profusely and am confident I will soon die."
"You'll be fine"
Walk it off😎
You know I really thought I was the only one. I'm a 4th yr med student going into Emergency Medicine, and I sometimes brush off my son's little ailments when my wife brings my attention. Thank God she never trusts my judgment. Thanks Doc Schmidt for this video... #selfawareness
My dad's a ear-nose-throat doctor and for the first 16 years of my life he worked at the children's hospital operating almost all of my friends. I would have died to get him to see me but I never had anything concerning ear/nose or throat. At 19 I got a huge tonsillitis that lasted 6 month, after which my tonsils shrunk and basically said goodbye to the whole world. While I was in the worst pain he kept saying "that's because you don't cover up enough when you go outside". When they finally shrunk he "knew it was going to happen". Doctors in family are the worst doctors.
I know from experience and this is perfectly accurate!
Ouch in both ur comment and the fact u got a bot
Totally standard parent response when you grew up in the 60s/70s. Never had a day off school. My poor brother broke his arm and mum still sent him to school before it was x-rayed. Not even kidding 😂🤣
this is so accurate, my moms response whenever i had a medical problem was “take some advil, put some ice on it, and go to bed” lol
A similar thing happened to me :( after 3 months of suffering I got a colonoscopy which showed severe infectious colitis requiring several weeks of antibiotics. Took me a year to regain the weight I lost and another year to regain my normal bowel habits. Take care of your gut people.
Ouch! Glad you're doing ok now! I suffer from IBS, I feel you. For my parents (doc and teacher) it's the lentils 😒
What did you do to regain your normal bowel habits? Did you have to change your diet drastically? I also am going to try Gut Heal herbal tea myself and just want to recommend it to you, too! Find it from a good local botanical or herbal store you trust.
@@alessandrinchen ok wtf are lentils??? I see them everywhere??
@@alicedodobirb2808 they're nutrient-dense legumes (with around 9g of protein in a half cup of brown lentils) that also have high amounts of some important vitamins and minerals, and are usually pretty cheap in grocery stores. However, raw lentils have a protein called lectin, which binds to your digestive tract and can cause reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea. Lectin breaks down with heat though, so cooked lentils should be fine.
In norway we have a saying "skomakerens barn, har de dårlige skoene" (the shoemakers kids, has the worst shoes) often shortened to just "skomakerens barn" (the shoemakers kids) meaning that the kids of parents working in any proffesion usually doesn't profit from it and probably are worse off than others, i felt like this was a great example of this.
My grandfather was a medic in WWII. Formally, he had an 8th grade education, but was the smartest man I knew growing up. My mother took me to him for everything - even when I SEVERELY broke my ankle. He wrapped it up and gave me crutches. I didn’t find out until I was 30 that I had actually broken it badly and it didn’t heal back correctly, so I had to have surgery. It wasn’t rebroken because it was aligned enough and not causing pain. It was just floppy and turned in. I sprained it a lot because it was so weak. The ligaments were 3x too long. Fast forward from that very painful recovery and my ankle is better than new. Sometimes having family that’s in medicine is not really a good thing. I wasn’t taken to the doctor when I should’ve been, which I guess is the point of this whole video, lol.
Yeah. The family menber can me a doctor, but he is not a whole hospital. Its not the same thing and people dont understan
Its like saying a kid doesnt have to go to school because his sister is ateacher
Sounds accurate 🤣
I didn’t get diagnosed for Ulcerative Colitis until it was completely out of control and the first time I had a half colonoscopy my mom convinced me it was such a no big deal that I went to work immediately after, she drove me. She’s a nurse btw and I was 17 🤷♀️
Wow such abuse
Both my husband's parents were in the medical field. As a child, my husband once spent a whole afternoon trying to draw attention to the fact that his arm was broken!
The hat labeled "ASK MOM" from Dad Brand Apparel is a nice touch
Lol that is so true, my mom is an OB/GYN and so many times when I feel something is off she says something akin to "don't worry about it you're young and healthy".
Neighbour: "Excuse me sir, but your son died"
Dad: "I won't worry about that."
Neighbour: "Me either. But it has been 3 days now & it is beginning to rot & I can smell the bad from my house."
Both my parents are doctors and are the complete opposite. When I had a stomachache as a kid they would do the palpitation/percussion tapping. And they always had a list of blood tests they wanted the doctors to do.
Same. And yelling the whole time about how I need to take better care of myself.
I would rather have that than a parent that ignored what was going on with me.
My sister fell out of a tree and told my dad that she thought she broke her arm and he said "no you're fine you didn't break your arm let me see it" and when she showed him her forearm was in the shape of the letter L.
Shit too relatable, moms a doctor dads a doctor, whole family of doctors. I ligit can’t tell if this is someone spying on me.
Fortunately for me, my nurse-mom usually is the opposite. Though she will be rather ruthless when it comes to treatments ("stop fussing and sit STILL" etc)
Same with my father except when it comes to dermatology, I have to take the lead.
I really hope I don’t get like this if/when I’m a doctor. I hear about this all the time but I couldn’t imagine neglecting clear signs that something is wrong and should be looked into. I am, currently, a healthcare nag towards my friends and family, always telling people to get stuff they’re ignoring or putting off checked out, so, hopefully, that won’t go away with experience.
Try your best to keep common sense, I know it's hard but I believe in you!
Same!
This is pretty much spot on. Anything that hurts doesnt really hurt and you dont gotta worry about it as long as its not life threatening.
My comment is not in the medical field; I have no clue in that but I know some things about woodworking. Please tell you dad he should be careful with gloves around power tools! I saw some pretty nasty injuries due to gloves which got caught in machinery.
My dad would always say, "Drink some warm water, it'll be fine." 🤣
@1pink1blue Spiritually, we're family. Come over any time 🤗🤗😁
I FREAKING LOVE THIS! YOUR DAD HAS THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS! DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT AND BE COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED!! I believe sometimes we worry TOO MUCH in my opinion. My mother was a medical transcriptionist for decades and I would tell her my symptoms all the time and she would say "take acetaminophen" or "try doxycycline" , etc. and all these big names and would tell me what milligram to take and what fluids to drink. When I went to the doctor the meds they gave me were ALWAYS spot on what she told me! Now at 30 whenever someone ask me about a symptom I do the same thing with NO MEDICAL EXPERIENCE LOL but somehow I'm right most times!
This is so accurate 😂 “you’re fine” and “can you move it?”
Mom:You fine. Just rub it.
Me: But I can't walk.
Mom: Just walk to me.
Dr: She has a fractured tibia.
When your Dad is the coach and you have a compound fracture. “Walk it off.”
My dad is a doctor and this is ridiculously accurate. Props to my teachers because once I bled into the joint in my elbow and couldn’t extend it at. My dad did the classic ‘you’re fine, I wouldn’t worry about it’. After a few days my teacher rang my mum and demanded they take me to the hospital. An ultrasound, a cast, eight weeks healing, and 4 weeks of physiotherapy later I got back full mobility. I guess in the end I was fine. He also said the same thing when I broke my wrist skiing. Thankfully the ski patrol were less convinced and took me down to the hospital. I think you have to be bleeding out or seizing to get your doctor dads attention😅😂
I can confirm that this is how med parents are.😂🤣 I love my mom but if I trusted her opinion on my health problems all the time I’d probably be in a coffin right now.😅
This is because the dad knows it'll be a big to do if he actually gets it worked up, and ignoring it works most of the time (sorta)
Honestly, while caring for doctor’s children, their lack of concern for the children’s health pissed me off. I had one kid who came in with the same dirty bandage 3 days in a row that was covering a huge skin injury from their treadmill. Babies coming in with fevers, babies coming in with cradle cap to the point I had to step in. Can honestly say the kids who were the dirtiest were kids of doctors and nurses. Poor things..
Maybe because they’re working a lot 🤷♀️
The cobbler's children have no shoes
I also know psychologists and trained counsellors. They have the most screwed up families. Psycho cases.
@@johanna5688 from observation a lot of people who become shrinks have had to have a shrink themselves and had a lot of emotional problems themselves.
We see a ridiculous amount of hypochondria in the field…tends to make us less reactive. But there’s no excuse for neglect.
As someone with crohn’s, this was basically my exact experience getting diagnosed lol
When he said uveitis, blood in the stool and weight loss was fine I lost it 🤣😂 🤦♀️
"Son, my PhD is not in medicine, I am a engineer"
You make laugh a lot. as an eye doctor myself I can confirm this. Every time my wife ask me if I can do something with our toddler pink eye, I always respond “he’ll be fine”
Uhh its prob a joke but I don't know about some people... If its not take the child to a different eye doctor.
Is no one going to talk about how his dad looks like he practically spit out his son they are so identical?!
We have a couple of sayings about this in portuguese: "casa de ferreiro, espeto de pau" (in a blacksmith's house, the skewer is made out of wood) and "santo de casa não faz milagre" (the saint of the house doesn't make any miracles), meaning people never use their craft's specialty at home
Something similar but different proffession: My mom works with mentally disabled/ill children (has a general education degree) and whenever I would raise concerns about my mental health she would hit me with the "no you're not like them". She also admitted that despite her degree she is often treating me the exact way you are not supposed to as a parent. Because she works with children around age 1-6 and I am 18 and she uses the same methods such as ignoring me till I cool off. works with toddlers not with grown ups
???? i thought this was common sense, but ignoring children in distress is Bad, actually
@@lessevilnyarlathotep1595 No with like toddlers that are throwing a tantrum you ignore them until they cool off, similar to time outs just alot more passive. Toddlers work alot with responses so giving them none won't give them anything to work with
@@dashi7070 actually, acknowledging toddlers feelings and modeling emotional control is better than ignoring a child.
@@dashi7070 work with what?? what are they supposed to do?? learn that no matter how loud they scream no one will help them!? jesus fuck
@@lessevilnyarlathotep1595 that's not how toddlers work tho XD
