    Story 4 I hear that butter on a burn used to be legit. In the past, cold water was hard to get on short notice, but butter was kept in the cellar, where it was cold. Butter would stay cold longer and was more effective to cool a burn. But nowadays when most have running water, it’s not the best.

    • @robertajill3070
      @robertajill3070 Місяць тому +13

      While it’s true that cold butter was often used when cold water was not available (ditto with cold lard or bacon), it was still a misguided treatment. I know, I know…they probably didn’t know any better. Any fat applied to a burn essentially acts as a sealant containing the heat. You end up basically cooking the injury.

    As a vet (in training)... those stupid people stories from the vets are honestly normal af considering some of the stuff I've seen. A lot of it is NSFW but the stuff that isn't includes:
    Believing that dog's poop is the shade of what they eat, so they gave their dog excessive amounts of chocolate to "force" their poop to be a normal color. Lady was convinced she was correct and refused all treatment for her dog because it would "make his poop green again" (The dog's history noted he was an avid grass eater) The dog, expectedly but still sadly, died soon after.
    An owner who saw some string hanging out of their dog's butt a couple of days after said dog had eaten a ball of yarn. He decided to yank as hard and fast on it as he could. Have you ever cut your hands on a string? Yeah, use your imagination on that one. The worst part was that he refused to accept that what he did was a bad thing to do, and kept insisting there was no other option. Actually, there were a LOT of other options, none of which involved having to perform emergency surgery.
    The disturbing amount of people whose dogs have massive, painful, often oozing tumors and insist it's normal. If the tumor was a symmetrical one, say a bump in the middle of the chest, I could understand how someone would think that's normal. But when this cat's left shoulder has been eaten by an oozing fungating mass and they insist it's because of their "unique breed"? I oftentimes think these people have medical issues of themselves they need to attend to.
    Bonus mention for the poor guy who scheduled an appt for his cat and cane in with an empty cat carrier. We quickly found out he was hallucinating said cat and we ended up calling the police cause we had no effing clue what to do.

    Him: okay you’re not far off. You should probably be taking 800-1600 mg a day

    I love hearing stories from their side! A new specialist told me recently that he doesn't think I have the autoimmune diseases I have years of documentation on. Why? Because my test results don't show any abnormal activity. _I'm on meds to _*_stop_*_ the abnormal activity, you ding dong!_ This means the meds are _doing their jobs._ 🥲
    One common side effect of rare health problems when you're young is that you hear a lot of stupid shit from medical professionals. You also meet some really great ones, too, but it's always a gamble with a new specialist.🙄

    I'm all for homeopathic medicine if the condition calls for it. Cinnamon can help diabetes, garlic and reishi mushroom helps the immune system, tea tree oil can help prevent lice are a few examples. I've taken garlic and reishi mushroom for my rheumatoid arthritis. After a year on immunosuppressants for my rheumatoid arthritis when I was diagnosed, I couldn't handle it anymore, so I started looking into more natural ways to help. It did help until I got tired of taking pills. I didn't get sick as much and the flares weren't as bad. I take turmeric curcumin to help with inflammation. I know the rheumatoid damage is still ongoing, but after being on immunosuppressants for a year and constantly feeling like crap,I decided it wasn't worth it. I know there are other immunosuppressants out there, but in my opinion, it's the same pig with different lipstick.
