      People wonder about their loved ones when sick and sometimes worry for them in that moment overwrites common sense. It's usually temporary and these types of questions are asked in brief moments of panic shortly after bad diagnoses

      Since nobody talks about health in schools and unless you work as a a medical staf, you won't know anything about health. So women turn to these dumb magazines and websites as only source of health info, not realizing that facts from those are not true. Then when they ask doctor about it, doctor corrects them and tell them real facts. But hey school doesn't give health lessons so it's no surprise that people would think something so dumb.

    My mom had dementia. I would often translate what the doctors explained to us, in a way that made even a little sense to her.
    She couldn't take certain medications, because she was on dialysis, and they couldn't be as effective, due to her renal failure. And often the medications would reduce the efficiency of her dialysis treatments.
    I told my mom that these meds kind of attacked her kidneys, and didn't work as well anyway. (Only I needed to actually grasp what was actually said. But she liked to feel informed and involved, even if only for a few minutes.)
    Had a doctor constantly attack me (verbally) because medicine "doesn't attack" particular body parts. He never grasped that my mom had dementia, that more than 1/2 the patients at that dialysis clinic had various stages of dementia. That dementia is a common side effect of end stage renal failure. And that using proper medical terms might be above the cognitive level of someone who can't remember they've been conversing with you for 20 minutes, because they glanced away for a second, and now believe you just arrived. 🤦🏼
    Kind of a reverse version. But seriously, shouldn't this be common knowledge to a trained, medical specialist?

Wouldn't you pick up on the pattern? When someone has had a pacemaker put in, and you know all about it, but the person keeps asking (like every 20 minutes) about the "giant boil" on their chest, that they believe just developed...

    My sister used to work in a pharmacy and once tried to explain to a customer that no, you can't catch a virus from your computer. She'd seen a doctor over a viral infection and told my sister that her computer had a virus so she thought that she'd caught her infection off her computer. My sister tried to stay professional but couldn't hold back her laughter after she left!

      If you mean after the surgery, normally they say only cold liquids, because hot ones are more likely to displace or dissolve the blood clots forming around the extraction site, and those are important to healing and preventing infection.

      That's right, My dad is diabetic and almost all of his friends get ample desserts when they're gone out to have food at a restaurant, and sometimes my dad can't resist it, next thing, the diabetic levels sky rocket.

    My dad, who got education on healthy diet at the hospital after his heart attack, was shocked to learn that kebab doesn't actually categorize as a healthy food (he thought it was fat-free as the grease rolls down and off the meat while it's cooking on whatever the stuff you cook it on is called in english)

    I drank water right before an intubated endoscopy. My mom wanted to make sure what I was choking on was still there since the doctors by accidentally made me high on two medications and I couldn’t feel anything lol.

    Daycare workers to a parent of a 3 year old: Green snot is a sign of infection, which means your child is sick. Coughing so hard that you wake yourself up repeatedly also means your child is sick. TAKE. HIM. HOME.

    Someone once told me that it was okay to smoke crack while they were pregnant because they took prenatal vitamins, which counteracted the crack. I'm totally serious.😬

      The baby ended up being okay. She got clean about 4 months into her pregnancy. Thankfully.

    I very large morbidly obese young man (late 20s) with diabetes, very swollen legs (sometimes leaking) who did not understand that "eating healthy" did not mean potatoes and pasta (or rice) with some meat (no vegetables, because he thought potatoes counted as a vegetable) at every meal. Even scarier, he and his morbidly obese wife actually reproduced and were raising children. Absolutely no concept of what actually constitutes a "healthy meal", what carbohydrates are, what actually caused his diabetes, etc.Always amazes me how many people truly believe that diabetes is a natural part of aging and have no idea that for many people suffering from Type 2 could have probably prevented it.

    It really freaks me out just how many people have type 2 diabetes and have no idea how it works or how to take care of themselves.
    My obese uncle is literally rotting his feet away and has had several strokes + dementia now because he never gave a fuck about his health or his diabetes. He weighs 400+ pounds, like sofa breaking weight, and once got caught skipping his physical therapy because he decided to get a pizza for himself and ended up blacking out at the pizza place, only to wake up in a hospital surrounded by family.
    He makes it really hard for me to feel bad for type two diabetics just because of how little he cares and how cruel he can be, but I know not everyone w/it is like that.

      Giving small boys alchohol is a must in my country, I can't get it out of their heads to stop, they just say I'm wrong and boys need to learn how to drink from very young age and that it's healthy.

      Phoenix angel Wth! That sounds like my uncle. He forcibly got his 2 year old daughter drunk and said it was a good learning lesson and patted himself on the back for being a fantastic father. Uuh no youre just getting your daughter addicted to alcohol and you're setting her up for failure. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️SMH x100

      In rural parts of my country people would give babies (not toddlers, babies) very high proof alcohol, so that they sleep and not cry *shudders*
