I didnt even think about that, but hopefully they were dumb enough to think that you can only have an allergic reaction to just drinking water instead of having it on their body
This literally happened to my dad's friend. She had breast cancer, agreed to chemo, then ran off to germany to get treated with essential oils and energy water. She only came back to chemo after her bones started hurting from all the metastasis. She didn't survive.
Eva Smiljanić I mean after your cancer becomes metastatic your pretty much done for especially after denying the only treatment that can give you a chance.
I'm a nurse and I believe every one of these. I don't work in the ER but I have colleagues who do. This conversation happens on a weekly basis: Girl/woman rushes in with stomach pain/bleeding, whatever. Nurse: "Is there any chance you're pregnant?" "No". "Are you trying to get pregnant?" "No". "Are you having sex?" "Yes". "Are you on any type of birth control?" "No". "Have you had a tubal ligation or hysterectomy?" "No". "Does your boyfriend/husband/baboon use condoms or has had a vasectomy?" "No". "So...you're trying to get pregnant?" "No!"
@California Cobra I honestly don't get it. Teenage pregnancy is at an all time low. It's due to multiple factors, namely the access of birth control and parents willing to teach their kids. I'm 39 so I was in the eighth grade over 25 years ago and I remember taking sex ed, not just abstinence either. I grew up in and still live in the Bible belt, no less; also, birth control is free where I live. It's genuinely baffling. Although I know plenty of women and girls who just choose not to believe that it could happen.
I could have this conversation. I'm sexually active, not on birth control, no tube ties or hysterectomy, and no condoms. But there's no chance I'm pregnant... I'm gay!
My mum is an RN and told me a story about a kid in ER with a panicked mum. He had something coming out of his nose and the mum didn't know what it was. Turned out the kid shoved a dried pea or bean up his nose and it had been there so long it started to germinate.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?? HE HAD A PLANT STARTING TO GROW OUT OF HIS NOSE?? That is both horrifying and amazing at the same time? I don’t know how to feel
Not sure I'll get the story right but ~7 years ago I've seen a report in tv news about some guy inhaling some seeds when he worked in a forest. Later they diagnosed him cancer and when they opened his lungs they found a plant growing there instead and the doctors we're like wtf.
@@theevildrummingsithlord1492 well that's the crazy part about this story. It's not supposed to grow inside lungs I guess that's why they opened the guys thinking it was cancer in first place -- who would have thought a plant would grow inside his lungs...
I surgically extracted 12 teeth from a lady a few years ago. When you get a tooth extracted you end up with a hole in your jaw with exposed bone. That makes sense, right? Large bleeding wounds should be kept as clean as possible. Admittedly the mouth is a very dirty environment, but once you get a blood clot filling the area the healing can begin. My patient wanted me to pour these bullshit "healing oils" into her extraction sites to aid in healing. I was pretty pissed and I told her it was a moronic idea that I would have no part in. She wanted to dump non-sterile, non-biocompatible material into her body because it would somehow help her in her sad little mind
About a week ago a patient came in for uncontrollable diarrhea. Said he had been taking laxatives for a week to poop it all out but it wouldn’t go away and couldn’t figure out why 🙄
Doctor: Well you have X condition so please do this or take this medication which will prevent X condition Patient: Okay *comes back later* X condition has progressed and is worse Doctor: What happened? I told you if you did this it would be cured! Patient: Yeah, but I didn't think so, so I tried doing all natural home remedies instead Medical degree: aM i A JoKe To YoU
I know you probably didn't mean this seriously, but I'm pretty sure that he was just fat, and didn't want to drink water, so he instead told everyone he was allergic to water, and bada-bing-bada-boom, free soda for the rest of your life. (At least when he's visiting family, the people at say mcdonalds probably would want to see proof of this before giving him something else than water)
The anoxic brain injury. Congrats Dad, you just sentenced your daughter to a very slow living death. I used to work at a rehab hospital as a security guard. The docs and nurses here were wonderful. Basically all the patients do is lie there with maybe some physical therapy . They get moved around in bed to prevent bed sores but basically thats it. The longest any patient had been there was 14 years. 14 years, a shit load of court cases and he died alone. Medical advancements folks.
Kinda feel bad for the pathological liar though. It probably makes his day to have an appointment and think he’s going to impress his dentist with all his “knowledge”.
Not a doctor, but did a rotation at a rehab hospital. Guy is admitted for the third time this year after a fall (I did the rotation in the middle of May). After each fall, he was told that he needed to use an assistive device (i.e. walker, cane). Clearly had balance issues, even with a walker or cane. RN asks him how the fall happened. Guy: "I don't know. I just went out to get the mail. I probably skidded on some gravel in my driveway." RN: "Were you using your walker as directed?" Guy: "No, but I don't need it, so why would I? I just lost my balance. I'm fine, my balance is better than ever!" Remember, this was his third time admitted to the rehab hospital THIS YEAR. As the nurse and I went to the next patient, she quietly whispered to me that the whole nursing staff had something of a betting pool going on about how long it will take for him to be back. And every time, he would say his balance was fine and he didn't need the walker.
I would. when I was in the hospital I had to hear it. I demanded my boyfriend stay with me, not because I was scared or lonely but because I wasnt allowed to stand up without help and I needed someone to close the damn door every time a doctor came in to ask if I knew what the metal in my colon was.
Not a phyician, but a medical technologist and this happens to me and my coworkers *every*. *single*. *shift*. I lost count of how many times I had to fake my smile and not scream at the patients to fck off the fcking hospital's laboratory if they oh so trust their google research instead of screaming at every medical professional they meet in the halls
@Jackie Tearie my Doctor told me the verucca i had a few years back wasn't infected despite the fact I couldn't put my foot on the floor due to the pain. 3 days later all the pus from the infection came out and I went back to get my antibiotics. weirdly the Doc wouldn't see me and a nurse gave me the medication......
Eye doctor: What do you see? Me: Is that a text art of a horse? Eye doctor: ... Me: ... Eye doctor: *Writes down something* Eye doctor: Ok ma’am your son really need glasses Me: Ok. Mom: Ok. Edit: Also this is a real story
"He's allergic to water!" The human brain is pretty water based... His allergy must run in the family, cos clearly they've suffered anaphylactic shock of the brain. Edit: Gonna put this here to clear things up, I was suggesting his "allergy" explains why his family are stupid and believe he's allergic to water. I know water allergy is a thing, but this guy didn't have it. I was merely making a snide remark. Sorry if this sounds passive-aggressive. Tone is hard to convey in text.
Well the thing is in very, very rare instances of some unfortunate cases, there is such thing as a water allergy. The patients don't often survive very long without intensive medical care though.
@@sageseeker9197 I actually did hear of this once, I think it was a baby girl in a full body rash due to her allergy, screaming all the time cos of the pain. However, as you said, it's rare. So in a hella lot of cases, it's just people without a brain. It's weird but it's one of the few times to be happy someone is an idiot and not legitimately suffering.
it's a real thing. it's not a case where you die from drinking it, but you get itchy skin and your skin can look like you have eczema. it's called Aquagenic urticaria or water allergy.
Working with mentally disabled clients we get a lot of them self treating because they dont like the doctor. One of the parents of a client says they "cured" their kids autism by giving them heroine. APS was called and the parent apparently had no clue that heroine was not a medicine. She said it looked like another medication her son used. Her son had diabetes and she thought he was shooting up with heroine instead of insulin. Her son tested clean but she was not allowed to be around her kids without court supervision.
its honestly one of the few forms of Darwinism that still occurs to the human population in the west. just people being too stupid or paranoid and dying because of their idiocy.
@@xionmemoria yeah, but I will take the word of someone who has spent half their life in school learning the inner workings of the body over myself anyday
It apparently does actually happen to a vanishingly rare proportion of people, but it only affects the outer skin, and I vaguely remember hearing it may have something to do with the minerals and other dissolved stuff in tap water.
My aunt has always been obsessed with dieting, and is rude to anyone who isn't, including family. My uncle had a massive heartattack, and while he was in the hospital, the doctor apparently got fed up and tore into my aunt. Apparently, my uncle was dangerously under weight and lucky he hadn't starved to death. Aunt is not well liked by the family.
This post pains me, as a diabetic! I have hereditary type two diabetes, diagnosed at 15. I reversed into prediabetic at 17, and was the youngest patient to reverse in my hospital. I relapsed twice, once when my uncle had cancer when I was 18, and then recently a few months ago. I managed to reverse again in just a few months on both occasions. I take precautionary medication, but it's all down to diet. Nothing is ever prohibited, just moderated. It can be such a fatal condition, it annoys me when people just don't even try to control it, I know so many people who try and just can't control it
Yeah, it's just more poison to the cancer than the rest of your body. That's the point. You can take tanbark tea against internal parasites too. Yeah, you'll feel like shit, because you are poisoning yourself, but the parasites feel waay worse, die, and you are de-bugged, at which point you can just stop drinking the tea. Most medications are poisons in some way, but they target things, like bacteria, or parasites, or cancer.
11:58 My great grandma was like that. She KNEW she had breast cancer, yet she refused medication. She thought it would do nothing and the doctors were just trying to get money from her. Unfortunately , she passed a couple months later.
I worked in OR for 6 years as a patient transporter. Had a male patient come in with a nine inch vibrator stuck up his ass that was there for two days before coming to us. In surgery they removed the vibrator were the nurse wiped it off and out of morbid curiosity turned it on to see if it still worked. It did and everybody in the OR started losing their shit when the nurse dropped the still vibrating thing into a stainless steel basin where it made a loud noise. Finally the patient wakes up from anesthesia, and asked to have his vibrator return to him. I had to take him back to his room with his vibrator hidden underneath the blanket he was laying under and who is waiting for him at the OR door but his wife and two little girls. All the while his wife keeps asking me what he came in for while I’m wheeling him to his room and completely denied any knowledge of what went on while trying to keep a straight face.
At the hospital I work at we had a very young patient with severe head trauma as well as several fractures after being involved in a horrible car accident. She had recently been transferred from the ICU to rehab where she was to learn basic skills like swallowing, sitting and such (at least hopefully) Her boyfriend who was physically unharmed after the accident while being the driver himself was assigned as her custodian until/if she got better which is pretty standard for partners. He was just turned out to be a horrible choice. One day, when 3 therapist helped her to sit, he watched them from the door and afterwards went up to a nurse to complain that his gf was getting fat and demanded us to give her less calorie through her PEG tube. Several doctors told him that this was not a good idea, that she was still very much normal weight not even close to being overweight and that she needed the energy to keep up with the intense therapy she was receiving. He insisted that we were destroying her beauty so as a custodian her only allowed her to get 1200 cal a day. One of the most disturbing things I have encountered. She didn’t make any progress and now lives in a care facility at age 32, but hey, at least she is still skinny as ever! On top of that we were told that he lost custody for her because he tried to molest her, in her non-responsive state, tetraplegic...
I have a sister, who is heavily influenced by friends of hers who had a sickness. She is continually diagnosing me. She insists to this day I have fibromyalgia. I hit my elbow against the door jam very very hard, several times as I was moving boxes. I tried to explain that it was due to trauma. I got cancer, she has been comparing my treatment to her friends i’ve had cancer. I’ve tried many times to explain to her that I do not have what they had. Especially a friend who has been fighting cancer for 25 years. She can’t figure why I have not had some kind of CAT scan or some kind of detection for cancer. I had breast cancer, I had a radical mastectomy and a mass of lymph nodes removed. I’ve had chemotherapy, and now I’m having radiation, plus I’m taking hormone therapy for prevention. I still haven’t had the tests that my sister wants me to have. I have always done research, and when Internet came available, I’ve use that extensively. But, I still go to the doctor and I listen to him/her, they know much more than I do. I know enough to follow what they’re saying, which was my goal in the first place and to identify that there may be a problem to be verified or approved non-consequential. I am not dedicated myself to medical school... i’ve only read the cliff notes.
My cousin was going to have a sleepover at our grandparent's place over the weekend and she had been suffering from severe stomach aches for about a week. She also had difficulty going to the bathroom. Parents just thought it was a stomach flu or food poisoning and just ignored it. My grandparents and the two cousins were going on some family trip and on the way back my cousin was screaming in agony because the stomach pains were just so unbearable. My grandpa, as good as a person as he was, turned the car around and B-lined straight to hospital. There they doctors discovered my cousin had been suffering from apenditis and the infection was left untreated for too long which caused her appendix to collapse and burst open leaking bowel fluids all over her guts and vital organs. TL:DR, my cousin's parents ignored her apenditis for so long that it bursted open
@@Vellione She's fine as far as I know, this might have been like 10 years ago and so she was still a kid back then. CPS wasn't called as far as I know but she's soon to move out.
My mom went to the ER because she couldn't sit anymore, she felt there was some mass on her butt. It was a metastasis from her kidney cancer, which we then found out had been diagnosed seven years earlier. She didn't take it seriously and never followed up on it with any treatment. "In our family, we don't get cancer."...she died shortly after. Fun fact: The type of cancer she had, has a genetic component. It literally runs in our family and we all have to have yearly screenings for it now. 😬😅
@@allisond.46 Well, I have a rare blood disease that can be fatal, and it kind of disguises itself as cancer cells, so for a while, they thought I might have cancer.
Artificial sweeteners cause higher blood sugar spikes than raw sugar. Read the case study a few years back, filed it in "wait how the fuck" and now bring it back out (and the writeups) every so often when people natter about sweeteners. Yes, they're carcinogenic (basically everything is though), no nothing chemically exotic happens to them in the bloodstream (claims of turning to formaldehyde etc, they only turn toxic under strong UV...) yes they are not at all good for you and worse than sugar.
Technically speaking, chemotherapy is poison. The reason people lose their hair, feel weak, nauseous etc is because the chemo is not only killing cancer cells, but healthy cells as well. It's why you take the treatment periodically and then allow the body to recover itself a bit before you start again. Without chemo, the cancer is likely to spread until it does enough damage to the host to cause death. One would think this is pretty common knowledge to most people. Doctors usually know more than patients. Even if you have trust issues you should still trust, but you'd verify what they say; hence, getting a second or third opinion. Usually the best option is the one the doctor gives you.
I remember when I got oral surgery I wanted to know what kinds of things I was getting before surgery (just out of curiosity, I was so nervous my heart rate was about 130) and both the nurse who gave me the IV and the doctor were happy to tell me. I could have cared less what was going in me, I just wanted some distraction.
I was nervous about taking my first blood test, so I asked the doctor "So how was med school?" She replied "I don't know, my degree is in English." "Wait, what?" "Hold still!" You would think that it was a joke, but once in my arm she stuck the needle into every round object she could find.
5:02 reminded me of something similar happening to me. At elementary school, my classmates notice I kept squinting and insists that I get glasses. I brought it up to my mom who kept delaying it until one weekend when she had me brought in to an eye doctor. She wasn't dumb, she just didn't believe it until I pester her about it.
That mom treating her kids lice with diesel wasnt really in danger while smoking, unless her living room is a pressure chamber that is, because diesel isnt flammable at atmospheric pressure.
Oh my god why would anyone be allergic to drinking water?😒😑 You can be allergic to water on your skin.not drinking it BECAUSE YOU ARE PARTLY MADE OF WATER the stupidity astounds me
10:37 That dude was in the process of dying. His body was not getting enough nutrition to be able to heal but it's not due to him not liking the diet. Losing interest in food is one of the signs that someone is ready to go. At that point, all you can do to get nutrients into them is find food more nutrient-packed. Peanut butter shakes with some yogurt and some carnation instant breakfast. But you can't make them eat it and if their body has forgotten what to do with the food that goes in it you can't do anything about it. The ER doctor could have been more compassionate. The daughter is not stupid she just needs help recognizing that her dad was telling her it's time to go. I had this same ER experience with my own dad, who had an ulcer and also was not getting enough nutrition and not healing.
I don't think you read it right. Or I didn't read it right. It sounded like the diet was practically a starvation diet so he was dying from lack of food, AND, as a kicker, he didn't even like this restricted diet his daughter was forcing on him.
12:18 i really don't understand all that cicumsition in america. don't come with it's more sanitary. before showers existed i would have agreed but today we can wash our junk as often as we like. circumsitions are obsolete.
@@Deliverygirl But circumcision is prevalent in more than the jewish population so something is going on. If it was just those with a religious reason, that would be entirely sensible. At least with male circumcision. That doesn't seem to cause as many problems for the subject as "female circumcision". *gag*
Saw a story on Reddit of a lawyer who questioned a doctor about not having done surgery on a certain bone in the body. So after the Dr had been accused of not being a real Dr because of that his response was "I haven't done surgery on that bone because it does not exist"
That glasses one hurt personally. Doctor says get your kid glasses, you get that kid those damn glasses, and you make them wear them. My mom never made me wear mine and my eyesight S U C K S. I'm not legally able to drive without my glasses since nothing ever improved, and with them my eye sight is still bad(need new prescription).
BWMagus that's true, I won't deny that I worded it wrong; we were using methods such as patches that were supposed to help develop my eye muscles and I needed my glasses to use them. You're right, though, I should have worded it better.
I WAS going to feel bad about the mouth cancer one at the end, but then they mentioned those 'natural remedies' and shit, and I didn't feel bad anymore.

I don't get the water allergy one...you know how RARE that is? If anything I'm thinking that the family doubled down (for some reason) that he might've been a kid when he said he was allergic to water.
3:43 is something I can relate. I had to get glasses because I have astigmatism which means my eye is not in the shape of a circle but instead an oval. But my dad disagreed saying that it was because I used the phone and having glasses will only make my eye worst. I pointed out that I needed to get glasses when I was in kindergarten which was at a time where I didn’t use a phone but he made me throw it out because the doctor only wanted to make money by faking that people needs glasses. Now I only use glasses when he’s not around and when I don’t use glasses my eye will start hurting because my eye is more sensitive to light and I can’t see far distances
well a lot of times early stage cancers are accidentally discovered when people go in for a completely unrelated issue. And then sometimes instead of being grateful the cancer was caught early before it started causing symptoms they simply cannot deal with the news at all.
freshman year health class let me know all about circumcisions, and stds, and stis, and i almost threw up once or twice, we seen everything, some stuff still haunts me.
“Nothing but sprite and sweet tea for years” As someone who is likely addicted to sprite, even I’m not dumb enough to claim I have a water allergy. Are my kidneys fucking screaming for water? Yeah probably. Will I die from it? Hopefully. But I still drink water when it’s offered/when I’m sick/extremely dehydrated. I think I’m addicted to the carbonation and sugar combination. Oh well.
Stories like these make me wonder what would happen if it were legal to have a patient sign a contract and then the doctor can do whatever the patient insists is the “correct” treatment and see how that pans out for them.
6:56 I know batteries can be really bad, but I swallowed a button battery (accidentally) when I was a kid, and even if I was terrified of what could happen, nothing did. I guess I was lucky.
Alyse Truth it’s worse than just that. Apparently there are three mechanisms for damage, of which you cover one, and I shall provide another. If the battery is able to generate current this will facilitate the erosion you describe but, equally scarily, it is able to facilitate electrolysis resulting in the creation of sodium hydroxide (lye/caustic soda) and chlorine gas. Sodium hydroxide causes pretty horrific injuries pretty quickly. There’s a little more to it and I highly recommend reading up on it yourself, but the long and short of it is: swallowing batteries can be fatal even with a small button cell and you should always seek medical advice urgently.
There are sooo many people that refuse to learn anything about diabetes, even after they are diagnosed with type 1 or type 2, especially. I'm a type 1 for almost 16 years, diagnosed at age 14. I haven't met that many type 1's in my life, but I've only been able to hold a diabetes related conversation with one other type 1 person, because the others had no idea about any details of what was happening with them. One even didn't know what insulin they were taking... They were just completely uninterested in their own condition, which is kind of sad, considering that diabetes is a deadly disease if they don't treat it in a satisfactory manner.
My coworker(he is in his 50's) told me a story about how his grandfather had always thought all doctors were "quacks", and when my coworker's father and aunt were about 19-20 his grandfather gave the father and aunt penicillin that was meant to be used for cows and gave it to them based on their weight(just how you would prescribe it to the cattle), and as a result my coworker's aunt began having a fever that reached upwards of 105°F and after 3 days of her having this horrible fever, the grandfather finally decided to take her to the hospital. The doctors told the grandfather that he had already gone too far and they couldnt do anything, they just had to let the fever run its course. The aunt survived but the fever ended up frying her brain pretty good, ended up turning her into dull 5 year old in an adult body... damn shame.
2:46 that one is not too far from the truth, except you're supposed to use paraffin. My mom used to use that when the headlice got really bad. It stings like hell, even though she was very careful not to get it in my eyes or on my skin. It seemed to work though.
I honestly dont understand the whole essential oils and the distrust of doctors these days. When i was four my mom had stage four colon cancer, when the surgeon saw her scans he immediately pushed her surgery ahead by two weeks. I was told that he said (cant remember if to my father or mother) that if they had waited the four weeks like originally planned, the cancer would have burst through her colon and infected her liver and she would have no chance left after that
I'm not a doctor, but I have quite a few piercings. The saline spray is one of the simplest and best things for piercing aftercare. It rinses the wounds and keeps things clean, making for an easier and quicker recovery. I made the mistake of getting lazy with the saline on one of my piercings and it got infected.
OMFG, some of these people... PLEASE DON'T BREED. I truly feel for the poor man who's wife insisted on the "natural cures" nonsense that ended up killing her, though. That one almost made me weep. At least she didn't go for the "black paste" stuff. Guh. Your end-off was hilariously adorable, BTW. :-D I normally cannot STAND robot voices, but I got used to this one pretty quickly. My only beef with it was how it butchered things like ER and some words.

circumcision is a weird and brutal practice that definitely shouldn't be the "norm" (though, i admit i'm used to circumcised guys, but still, we would get used to uncircumcised guys too)
@@lananewman1064 Reality check: This claim is based on one study that looked at charts of babies born in one hospital (Wiswell 1985). The study had many problems, including that it didn't accurately count whether or not the babies were circumcised, whether they were premature and thus more susceptible to infection in general, whether they were breastfed (breastfeeding protects against UTI), and if their foreskins had been forcibly retracted (which can introduce harmful bacteria and cause UTI) (Pisacane 1990). There have been many studies since which show either no decrease in UTI with circumcision, or else an increase in UTI from circumcision. Thus circumcision is not recommended to prevent UTI (Thompson 1990). Girls have higher rates of UTI than boys, and yet when a girl gets a UTI, she is simply prescribed antibiotics. The same treatment works for boys from www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/moral-landscapes/201109/more-circumcision-myths-you-may-believe-hygiene-and-stds
@@KB3TLR I've seen the study before and I used to think circumsicion was mutilation, but now that I've seen actual kids getting terrible infections under the foreskin because of improper care or genetics or literally anything, I can see it as a necessary thing.
@@lananewman1064 i just don't understand why it's so 'normal' to mutilate the genitals of all the boys. almost everyone can agree it's a horrible thing to do to girls, but nobody bats an eye at doing it to the boys. I'm pretty sure the biggest benefit to doing it is for the medical field. they get money to do it, also whatever they might get out of the foreskin itself, and then when the men are older they have erectile dysfunction and need medicine. all good for them. since women are more likely to get infections there, do you think we should start circumcising everyone? i know that is a provocative question meant to shock, but i think there needs to be that shock. we've actually brainwashed ourselves into making this normal and it shouldn't be normal. it's a brutal, unnecessary thing to do and people should wake up and quit doing it. the infections for boys come mostly from doing things wrong, trying to force the foreskin back before it's naturally ready. i'm sure there are more infections from the actual procedure of circumcision than there are prevented by doing it.

Im not a doctor, but i go to the national eye institute once a year for 24 hours, and i have specialists talk to me in school and teach me everything i need to know about eyes and what causes different forms of eye problems (from commen to rare), When I talk about my rare problem with people and say "glasses only help me to a sertant point, but i will never be able to clearly see," the first thing most people replie with "why don't you take your glasses off?"

valeforedark I get what your saying but there's actually a LOT of studies that have come out and continue to come out suggesting that circumcision can be healthy for a boy and help prevent UTIs and STDs. Source: I work for a pediatrician and provide new parents with information about circumcision when they're deciding if they want to do it
@@kellywolstenholme8134 you know what also prevents STDs? Wearing a goddamn condom.

Okay, I'm not an expert, but from what I know, fungi usually grow in fresh places, so... The fungus infection was kept "fresh" and kept spreaded because of the essential oils treatment. In other words, she speeded up her own death by feeding it, instead of trying to stop it or starve it... or doing chemo.
It was mouth cancer, not fungal infection, it was said in the post ("the doc said it was the worst case of mouth cancer he ever saw"). The word "fungal mass" referred to the appearance of the cancer, it looked like a fungus but was actually cancer
Stre Led depends on which oil u use some fungus like some dont and we do use oils with other drugs in some cases of course they are secondary and we use it like gel
Honestly I think I might be one of these patients... I had a high fever for about 10 days about a year ago (it went up and down but was mainly in the range of 100 to 102) and me being 16 thought this was just your average virus even tho I had terrible stomach pain. Before this happened I had my appendix removed and when my mom brought me back to the hospital it turned out that I had an abscess that formed after the surgery. I had to stay a week after they removed the abscess. Apparently you’re supposed to go to the emergency room after 5 days of high fever.
And thats not even mentioning the actual appendicitis... the thing had actually burst and it hurt so bad that I could barely move and I thought that I had eaten something bad at the football game I went to.

"Water allergy"
Imagine the smell.
I didnt even think about that, but hopefully they were dumb enough to think that you can only have an allergic reaction to just drinking water instead of having it on their body
hey, im allergic to water! a few hours after i drink it i release a yellow clear fluid. wild
@John the Bastard Piss is supposed to be yellow lol
SaltySoySauce not super yellow. You should drink enough fluids to where urine is almost clear. Clear urine just means you're really hydrated.

I'm a nurse and I believe every one of these. I don't work in the ER but I have colleagues who do. This conversation happens on a weekly basis:
Girl/woman rushes in with stomach pain/bleeding, whatever.
Nurse: "Is there any chance you're pregnant?"
"No".
"Are you trying to get pregnant?" "No".
"Are you having sex?"
"Yes".
"Are you on any type of birth control?"
"No".
"Have you had a tubal ligation or hysterectomy?"
"No".
"Does your boyfriend/husband/baboon use condoms or has had a vasectomy?"
"No".
"So...you're trying to get pregnant?"
"No!"
@California Cobra I honestly don't get it. Teenage pregnancy is at an all time low. It's due to multiple factors, namely the access of birth control and parents willing to teach their kids. I'm 39 so I was in the eighth grade over 25 years ago and I remember taking sex ed, not just abstinence either. I grew up in and still live in the Bible belt, no less; also, birth control is free where I live. It's genuinely baffling. Although I know plenty of women and girls who just choose not to believe that it could happen.
I could have this conversation. I'm sexually active, not on birth control, no tube ties or hysterectomy, and no condoms. But there's no chance I'm pregnant... I'm gay!

My mum is an RN and told me a story about a kid in ER with a panicked mum. He had something coming out of his nose and the mum didn't know what it was. Turned out the kid shoved a dried pea or bean up his nose and it had been there so long it started to germinate.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?? HE HAD A PLANT STARTING TO GROW OUT OF HIS NOSE?? That is both horrifying and amazing at the same time? I don’t know how to feel
this is actually hilarious
Not sure I'll get the story right but ~7 years ago I've seen a report in tv news about some guy inhaling some seeds when he worked in a forest. Later they diagnosed him cancer and when they opened his lungs they found a plant growing there instead and the doctors we're like wtf.

I surgically extracted 12 teeth from a lady a few years ago. When you get a tooth extracted you end up with a hole in your jaw with exposed bone. That makes sense, right? Large bleeding wounds should be kept as clean as possible. Admittedly the mouth is a very dirty environment, but once you get a blood clot filling the area the healing can begin. My patient wanted me to pour these bullshit "healing oils" into her extraction sites to aid in healing. I was pretty pissed and I told her it was a moronic idea that I would have no part in. She wanted to dump non-sterile, non-biocompatible material into her body because it would somehow help her in her sad little mind

Hooooowww.....does one have a water allergy and still be able to drink other products with water in them?
Also the human body is 70% water.
Water allergies are a thing. They're rare and I forget the specifics but that's what Google's for.
That guy was just fat though.
@@ghostkid252 Usually it's not an allergy to the water itself but the contamination inside it, like copper from bad plumbing or fluoride.
I know you probably didn't mean this seriously, but I'm pretty sure that he was just fat, and didn't want to drink water, so he instead told everyone he was allergic to water, and bada-bing-bada-boom, free soda for the rest of your life. (At least when he's visiting family, the people at say mcdonalds probably would want to see proof of this before giving him something else than water)
@@JaelinBezel NOWADAYS it is shown to be rounded closer 60%. Sorry for being a swot.
The anoxic brain injury. Congrats Dad, you just sentenced your daughter to a very slow living death. I used to work at a rehab hospital as a security guard. The docs and nurses here were wonderful. Basically all the patients do is lie there with maybe some physical therapy . They get moved around in bed to prevent bed sores but basically thats it. The longest any patient had been there was 14 years. 14 years, a shit load of court cases and he died alone. Medical advancements folks.
yeah, sometimes its better to just die.

Not a doctor, but did a rotation at a rehab hospital. Guy is admitted for the third time this year after a fall (I did the rotation in the middle of May). After each fall, he was told that he needed to use an assistive device (i.e. walker, cane). Clearly had balance issues, even with a walker or cane. RN asks him how the fall happened.
Guy: "I don't know. I just went out to get the mail. I probably skidded on some gravel in my driveway."
RN: "Were you using your walker as directed?"
Guy: "No, but I don't need it, so why would I? I just lost my balance. I'm fine, my balance is better than ever!"
Remember, this was his third time admitted to the rehab hospital THIS YEAR. As the nurse and I went to the next patient, she quietly whispered to me that the whole nursing staff had something of a betting pool going on about how long it will take for him to be back. And every time, he would say his balance was fine and he didn't need the walker.
You know it’s serious when the nurses are placing bets on it...
You guys wouldnt believe that shit like this happens almost once a day to almost every physician ...
I would. when I was in the hospital I had to hear it. I demanded my boyfriend stay with me, not because I was scared or lonely but because I wasnt allowed to stand up without help and I needed someone to close the damn door every time a doctor came in to ask if I knew what the metal in my colon was.
Not a phyician, but a medical technologist and this happens to me and my coworkers *every*. *single*. *shift*. I lost count of how many times I had to fake my smile and not scream at the patients to fck off the fcking hospital's laboratory if they oh so trust their google research instead of screaming at every medical professional they meet in the halls

"He's allergic to water!"
The human brain is pretty water based... His allergy must run in the family, cos clearly they've suffered anaphylactic shock of the brain. Edit: Gonna put this here to clear things up, I was suggesting his "allergy" explains why his family are stupid and believe he's allergic to water. I know water allergy is a thing, but this guy didn't have it. I was merely making a snide remark. Sorry if this sounds passive-aggressive. Tone is hard to convey in text.
Well the thing is in very, very rare instances of some unfortunate cases, there is such thing as a water allergy.
The patients don't often survive very long without intensive medical care though.
@@sageseeker9197 I actually did hear of this once, I think it was a baby girl in a full body rash due to her allergy, screaming all the time cos of the pain. However, as you said, it's rare. So in a hella lot of cases, it's just people without a brain. It's weird but it's one of the few times to be happy someone is an idiot and not legitimately suffering.
TheBritishWolf u can be allergic to water U take imune inhibitors and dry up rally fast after shower

Working with mentally disabled clients we get a lot of them self treating because they dont like the doctor.
One of the parents of a client says they "cured" their kids autism by giving them heroine. APS was called and the parent apparently had no clue that heroine was not a medicine.

Her son tested clean but she was not allowed to be around her kids without court supervision.

I didn’t know they made tea out of sweat.
It apparently does actually happen to a vanishingly rare proportion of people, but it only affects the outer skin, and I vaguely remember hearing it may have something to do with the minerals and other dissolved stuff in tap water.

My aunt has always been obsessed with dieting, and is rude to anyone who isn't, including family. My uncle had a massive heartattack, and while he was in the hospital, the doctor apparently got fed up and tore into my aunt. Apparently, my uncle was dangerously under weight and lucky he hadn't starved to death. Aunt is not well liked by the family.
This post pains me, as a diabetic! I have hereditary type two diabetes, diagnosed at 15. I reversed into prediabetic at 17, and was the youngest patient to reverse in my hospital. I relapsed twice, once when my uncle had cancer when I was 18, and then recently a few months ago. I managed to reverse again in just a few months on both occasions. I take precautionary medication, but it's all down to diet. Nothing is ever prohibited, just moderated. It can be such a fatal condition, it annoys me when people just don't even try to control it, I know so many people who try and just can't control it
"chemo is poison" - kind of the point really
Yeah, it's just more poison to the cancer than the rest of your body. That's the point. You can take tanbark tea against internal parasites too. Yeah, you'll feel like shit, because you are poisoning yourself, but the parasites feel waay worse, die, and you are de-bugged, at which point you can just stop drinking the tea. Most medications are poisons in some way, but they target things, like bacteria, or parasites, or cancer.
11:58 My great grandma was like that. She KNEW she had breast cancer, yet she refused medication. She thought it would do nothing and the doctors were just trying to get money from her. Unfortunately , she passed a couple months later.
I worked in OR for 6 years as a patient transporter. Had a male patient come in with a nine inch vibrator stuck up his ass that was there for two days before coming to us. In surgery they removed the vibrator were the nurse wiped it off and out of morbid curiosity turned it on to see if it still worked. It did and everybody in the OR started losing their shit when the nurse dropped the still vibrating thing into a stainless steel basin where it made a loud noise. Finally the patient wakes up from anesthesia, and asked to have his vibrator return to him. I had to take him back to his room with his vibrator hidden underneath the blanket he was laying under and who is waiting for him at the OR door but his wife and two little girls. All the while his wife keeps asking me what he came in for while I’m wheeling him to his room and completely denied any knowledge of what went on while trying to keep a straight face.
At the hospital I work at we had a very young patient with severe head trauma as well as several fractures after being involved in a horrible car accident. She had recently been transferred from the ICU to rehab where she was to learn basic skills like swallowing, sitting and such (at least hopefully)
Her boyfriend who was physically unharmed after the accident while being the driver himself was assigned as her custodian until/if she got better which is pretty standard for partners.
He was just turned out to be a horrible choice. One day, when 3 therapist helped her to sit, he watched them from the door and afterwards went up to a nurse to complain that his gf was getting fat and demanded us to give her less calorie through her PEG tube. Several doctors told him that this was not a good idea, that she was still very much normal weight not even close to being overweight and that she needed the energy to keep up with the intense therapy she was receiving. He insisted that we were destroying her beauty so as a custodian her only allowed her to get 1200 cal a day. One of the most disturbing things I have encountered. She didn’t make any progress and now lives in a care facility at age 32, but hey, at least she is still skinny as ever! On top of that we were told that he lost custody for her because he tried to molest her, in her non-responsive state, tetraplegic...

I have a sister, who is heavily influenced by friends of hers who had a sickness. She is continually diagnosing me. She insists to this day I have fibromyalgia. I hit my elbow against the door jam very very hard, several times as I was moving boxes. I tried to explain that it was due to trauma. I got cancer, she has been comparing my treatment to her friends i’ve had cancer. I’ve tried many times to explain to her that I do not have what they had. Especially a friend who has been fighting cancer for 25 years. She can’t figure why I have not had some kind of CAT scan or some kind of detection for cancer. I had breast cancer, I had a radical mastectomy and a mass of lymph nodes removed. I’ve had chemotherapy, and now I’m having radiation, plus I’m taking hormone therapy for prevention. I still haven’t had the tests that my sister wants me to have.
I have always done research, and when Internet came available, I’ve use that extensively. But, I still go to the doctor and I listen to him/her, they know much more than I do. I know enough to follow what they’re saying, which was my goal in the first place and to identify that there may be a problem to be verified or approved non-consequential. I am not dedicated myself to medical school... i’ve only read the cliff notes.
My cousin was going to have a sleepover at our grandparent's place over the weekend and she had been suffering from severe stomach aches for about a week. She also had difficulty going to the bathroom. Parents just thought it was a stomach flu or food poisoning and just ignored it. My grandparents and the two cousins were going on some family trip and on the way back my cousin was screaming in agony because the stomach pains were just so unbearable. My grandpa, as good as a person as he was, turned the car around and B-lined straight to hospital. There they doctors discovered my cousin had been suffering from apenditis and the infection was left untreated for too long which caused her appendix to collapse and burst open leaking bowel fluids all over her guts and vital organs.
TL:DR, my cousin's parents ignored her apenditis for so long that it bursted open

Me (a diabetic): to late brah
Artificial sweeteners cause higher blood sugar spikes than raw sugar. Read the case study a few years back, filed it in "wait how the fuck" and now bring it back out (and the writeups) every so often when people natter about sweeteners. Yes, they're carcinogenic (basically everything is though), no nothing chemically exotic happens to them in the bloodstream (claims of turning to formaldehyde etc, they only turn toxic under strong UV...) yes they are not at all good for you and worse than sugar.
Technically speaking, chemotherapy is poison. The reason people lose their hair, feel weak, nauseous etc is because the chemo is not only killing cancer cells, but healthy cells as well. It's why you take the treatment periodically and then allow the body to recover itself a bit before you start again. Without chemo, the cancer is likely to spread until it does enough damage to the host to cause death. One would think this is pretty common knowledge to most people. Doctors usually know more than patients. Even if you have trust issues you should still trust, but you'd verify what they say; hence, getting a second or third opinion. Usually the best option is the one the doctor gives you.

I remember when I got oral surgery I wanted to know what kinds of things I was getting before surgery (just out of curiosity, I was so nervous my heart rate was about 130) and both the nurse who gave me the IV and the doctor were happy to tell me. I could have cared less what was going in me, I just wanted some distraction.
What were they giving you?
I was nervous about taking my first blood test, so I asked the doctor "So how was med school?" She replied "I don't know, my degree is in English."
"Wait, what?"
"Hold still!"
You would think that it was a joke, but once in my arm she stuck the needle into every round object she could find.

As someone who gets abscesses and fistulas a lot from Crohn's, I kinds feel for the dummy but, he did it to himself so, not totally.
10:37 That dude was in the process of dying. His body was not getting enough nutrition to be able to heal but it's not due to him not liking the diet. Losing interest in food is one of the signs that someone is ready to go. At that point, all you can do to get nutrients into them is find food more nutrient-packed. Peanut butter shakes with some yogurt and some carnation instant breakfast. But you can't make them eat it and if their body has forgotten what to do with the food that goes in it you can't do anything about it. The ER doctor could have been more compassionate. The daughter is not stupid she just needs help recognizing that her dad was telling her it's time to go. I had this same ER experience with my own dad, who had an ulcer and also was not getting enough nutrition and not healing.
I don't think you read it right. Or I didn't read it right. It sounded like the diet was practically a starvation diet so he was dying from lack of food, AND, as a kicker, he didn't even like this restricted diet his daughter was forcing on him.

3:43 is something I can relate. I had to get glasses because I have astigmatism which means my eye is not in the shape of a circle but instead an oval. But my dad disagreed saying that it was because I used the phone and having glasses will only make my eye worst. I pointed out that I needed to get glasses when I was in kindergarten which was at a time where I didn’t use a phone but he made me throw it out because the doctor only wanted to make money by faking that people needs glasses. Now I only use glasses when he’s not around and when I don’t use glasses my eye will start hurting because my eye is more sensitive to light and I can’t see far distances

well a lot of times early stage cancers are accidentally discovered when people go in for a completely unrelated issue. And then sometimes instead of being grateful the cancer was caught early before it started causing symptoms they simply cannot deal with the news at all.

“Nothing but sprite and sweet tea for years”
As someone who is likely addicted to sprite, even I’m not dumb enough to claim I have a water allergy. Are my kidneys fucking screaming for water? Yeah probably. Will I die from it? Hopefully. But I still drink water when it’s offered/when I’m sick/extremely dehydrated. I think I’m addicted to the carbonation and sugar combination. Oh well.
Also both sprite and sweet tea need water to be made-
i also used to think diagnoses were things doctors gave patients as in gave them a disease. i was like WHY would they do that??? lol
Stories like these make me wonder what would happen if it were legal to have a patient sign a contract and then the doctor can do whatever the patient insists is the “correct” treatment and see how that pans out for them.

Alyse Truth it’s worse than just that. Apparently there are three mechanisms for damage, of which you cover one, and I shall provide another. If the battery is able to generate current this will facilitate the erosion you describe but, equally scarily, it is able to facilitate electrolysis resulting in the creation of sodium hydroxide (lye/caustic soda) and chlorine gas. Sodium hydroxide causes pretty horrific injuries pretty quickly.
There’s a little more to it and I highly recommend reading up on it yourself, but the long and short of it is: swallowing batteries can be fatal even with a small button cell and you should always seek medical advice urgently.
There are sooo many people that refuse to learn anything about diabetes, even after they are diagnosed with type 1 or type 2, especially. I'm a type 1 for almost 16 years, diagnosed at age 14. I haven't met that many type 1's in my life, but I've only been able to hold a diabetes related conversation with one other type 1 person, because the others had no idea about any details of what was happening with them. One even didn't know what insulin they were taking...
They were just completely uninterested in their own condition, which is kind of sad, considering that diabetes is a deadly disease if they don't treat it in a satisfactory manner.
That 23 case breaks my heart though 😢
RN here, I had to pause for like 20 seconds to figure out what was going on at the IED one (8:07) .

I thought it was a typo at first. xD
"Good boy!" 😊
The Died in agony part kinda jolted me a bit.
My coworker(he is in his 50's) told me a story about how his grandfather had always thought all doctors were "quacks", and when my coworker's father and aunt were about 19-20 his grandfather gave the father and aunt penicillin that was meant to be used for cows and gave it to them based on their weight(just how you would prescribe it to the cattle), and as a result my coworker's aunt began having a fever that reached upwards of 105°F and after 3 days of her having this horrible fever, the grandfather finally decided to take her to the hospital. The doctors told the grandfather that he had already gone too far and they couldnt do anything, they just had to let the fever run its course. The aunt survived but the fever ended up frying her brain pretty good, ended up turning her into dull 5 year old in an adult body... damn shame.
Anthony James this makes me feel sad
12:43 xD lol my dad needed to ask this in his 50's.
2:46 that one is not too far from the truth, except you're supposed to use paraffin. My mom used to use that when the headlice got really bad. It stings like hell, even though she was very careful not to get it in my eyes or on my skin. It seemed to work though.
I honestly dont understand the whole essential oils and the distrust of doctors these days. When i was four my mom had stage four colon cancer, when the surgeon saw her scans he immediately pushed her surgery ahead by two weeks. I was told that he said (cant remember if to my father or mother) that if they had waited the four weeks like originally planned, the cancer would have burst through her colon and infected her liver and she would have no chance left after that
I really love the closing dogs! ❤ 😊 ❤
Good boy.
Don’t you dare get my hotdogs
Question? Is the piercing cleaning spray the mall gives you for aftercare actually helping?
I'm not a doctor, but I have quite a few piercings. The saline spray is one of the simplest and best things for piercing aftercare. It rinses the wounds and keeps things clean, making for an easier and quicker recovery. I made the mistake of getting lazy with the saline on one of my piercings and it got infected.
OMFG, some of these people... PLEASE DON'T BREED. I truly feel for the poor man who's wife insisted on the "natural cures" nonsense that ended up killing her, though. That one almost made me weep. At least she didn't go for the "black paste" stuff. Guh. Your end-off was hilariously adorable, BTW. :-D I normally cannot STAND robot voices, but I got used to this one pretty quickly. My only beef with it was how it butchered things like ER and some words.
For people that just need a laugh.
So this just happened a second ago. **OPEN SCENE**
Mom: "i have it in the car, ill show you it tomorrow if you just go to bed."
Me: then i just wont go to bed, simple!
Me: *walks away, hits side on door*
Mom: "pfft"
Moms bf: "there's a door there."
Me: "i just wont go to bed, simple!"
Me: *walks into living room, trips on bag*
Moms bf, sister, and mom: "pfft" "haha!"
Me:"maybe i will go to bed..."
Hope that made you laugh, or put a smile on your face!
I was at the dentist and asked, "Can I take care of my gums naturally?" She said, "yes, *Says basic tooth care*"
Me: *Feels Super ashamed.
Whenever I go anywhere, I let the doctors do their job. I trust them but at the same time, I ask them on things that I am uneasy with. Such as pills that control things like hormones or storage of fat or anything with the brain. I do not mean to bother them but at the same time, I don know them and they may be "Fake" doctors. I try to be a cooperative as possible though.
I've heard of the dreaded water allergy at work. Gave up trying to say anything and just crank the music up.
Good boy.
circumcision is a weird and brutal practice that definitely shouldn't be the "norm" (though, i admit i'm used to circumcised guys, but still, we would get used to uncircumcised guys too)
believe me circumcision really helps with men in the long term. infections are extremely common with men who arent circumcised. it can get bad fast.
@@lananewman1064 Reality check: This claim is based on one study that looked at charts of babies born in one hospital (Wiswell 1985). The study had many problems, including that it didn't accurately count whether or not the babies were circumcised, whether they were premature and thus more susceptible to infection in general, whether they were breastfed (breastfeeding protects against UTI), and if their foreskins had been forcibly retracted (which can introduce harmful bacteria and cause UTI) (Pisacane 1990). There have been many studies since which show either no decrease in UTI with circumcision, or else an increase in UTI from circumcision. Thus circumcision is not recommended to prevent UTI (Thompson 1990). Girls have higher rates of UTI than boys, and yet when a girl gets a UTI, she is simply prescribed antibiotics. The same treatment works for boys

@@KB3TLR I've seen the study before and I used to think circumsicion was mutilation, but now that I've seen actual kids getting terrible infections under the foreskin because of improper care or genetics or literally anything, I can see it as a necessary thing.
@@KB3TLR just because it "only" affects premature children doesnt mean it isnt necessary.
@@lananewman1064 i just don't understand why it's so 'normal' to mutilate the genitals of all the boys. almost everyone can agree it's a horrible thing to do to girls, but nobody bats an eye at doing it to the boys. I'm pretty sure the biggest benefit to doing it is for the medical field. they get money to do it, also whatever they might get out of the foreskin itself, and then when the men are older they have erectile dysfunction and need medicine. all good for them.
since women are more likely to get infections there, do you think we should start circumcising everyone? i know that is a provocative question meant to shock, but i think there needs to be that shock. we've actually brainwashed ourselves into making this normal and it shouldn't be normal. it's a brutal, unnecessary thing to do and people should wake up and quit doing it.
the infections for boys come mostly from doing things wrong, trying to force the foreskin back before it's naturally ready. i'm sure there are more infections from the actual procedure of circumcision than there are prevented by doing it.
smoking ciggaretes near diesel is okay because diesel takes alot of pressure to explode and a flame alone will take a long time
I cried when I heard that one with the kid and the insulin needles
OH THE NELSON HE LIVES UP THERE !!!!!!
Who would win:
-Doctor who took 8 years of medical school with a degree/PhD
-Random woman who dropped out of high school that works at McDonald's with a bunch of essential oils
Im not a doctor, but i go to the national eye institute once a year for 24 hours, and i have specialists talk to me in school and teach me everything i need to know about eyes and what causes different forms of eye problems (from commen to rare), When I talk about my rare problem with people and say "glasses only help me to a sertant point, but i will never be able to clearly see," the first thing most people replie with "why don't you take your glasses off?" I never have face palmed so hard
They spelt genital mutilation wrong >..,
valeforedark I get what your saying but there's actually a LOT of studies that have come out and continue to come out suggesting that circumcision can be healthy for a boy and help prevent UTIs and STDs.
Source: I work for a pediatrician and provide new parents with information about circumcision when they're deciding if they want to do it
I'd like to see a source.
@@kellywolstenholme8134 you know what also prevents STDs? Wearing a goddamn condom. I really don't get why doctors would agree to cut of a part of someone's body if the same benefits can also be achieved in a completely risk-free way. Might as well cut off the whole penis to prevent STDs and ever having to pay child support...
All of the female teens in this new town I moved to literally think you can see you egg when you get your period. You literally cannot see it, it’s microscopic. Sex Ed here sucks.
The egg passes out after ovulation. The period is shedding the uterus lining.
Brievel Montague the egg or eggs come out with your period blood. When you ovulate it goes down your Fallopian tubes waiting to be fertilized. If it doesn’t it comes out with the period.
@@emilykoscielny2085 It dies if it's not fertilized after 24 hours, and passes out then.
Brievel Montague actually no. If that happened people wouldn’t get pregnant after or before ovulation

Okay, I'm not an expert, but from what I know, fungi usually grow in fresh places, so...
The fungus infection was kept "fresh" and kept spreaded because of the essential oils treatment.
In other words, she speeded up her own death by feeding it, instead of trying to stop it or starve it... or doing chemo.
It was mouth cancer, not fungal infection, it was said in the post ("the doc said it was the worst case of mouth cancer he ever saw"). The word "fungal mass" referred to the appearance of the cancer, it looked like a fungus but was actually cancer
@@exantiuse497 Oh...
Thanks for the clarification.
Still, isn't that dangerous to put "natural" oils near it?
Stre Led depends on which oil u use some fungus like some dont and we do use oils with other drugs in some cases of course they are secondary and we use it like gel
Honestly I think I might be one of these patients...
I had a high fever for about 10 days about a year ago (it went up and down but was mainly in the range of 100 to 102) and me being 16 thought this was just your average virus even tho I had terrible stomach pain. Before this happened I had my appendix removed and when my mom brought me back to the hospital it turned out that I had an abscess that formed after the surgery. I had to stay a week after they removed the abscess. Apparently you’re supposed to go to the emergency room after 5 days of high fever.
And thats not even mentioning the actual appendicitis... the thing had actually burst and it hurt so bad that I could barely move and I thought that I had eaten something bad at the football game I went to.
Treating cancer with essential oil ?
Who came up with that ?
Propably someone who believed in essential oil and was so optimistic that his body killed the cancer (can happen rarely)
The people selling the oils 😉👍
I was amazed when I found out (I was in school to become phlebotomist) that there are ppl who believe their blood is blue & that it turns red when it hits oxygen
