It is really sweet. Also, he got some really bad news about his health and the first thing he thought of was a member of his family he spent a lot of time with. 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
Cancer isn’t contagious but chemo sure am. I was told not to cuddle our pup whilst it was still in my body (about 5 days). Broke my heart to not cuddle with pup like usual and having to keep him away from my face. Now puppykisses and nuzzles for 5 days! I dont know how I survived but I did.
Well at least she knew the pill. In my country tampons are not a thing. I'm confident that if you show them a tampon most women here will not know what it is. In fact the first time I saw a tampon was on an SNL skit or something, and my reaction was 'You put that whole thing *in your vagina??* 😲 And you get it out by tugging on that string? Wtf.🤨' Yes even now I'm not sure lol. Also a few years ago there was a report on TV how a healer (idk what you'd called him; anyway kinda like a healing masseuse/traditional medicine thing) who would give handjobs to teenage boys to 'expel the bad spirits', the bad spirits being cum. He's gay.🤦♂️
that's one that I can see people getting confused about. Still something they should have learned in middle school health and/or biology, but I wouldn't be floored if I met someone who didn't understand the significance of the distinction between bacteria and viruses.
Even othereise well educated people dont know this, although it's finally starting to improve. The waiting room at my family doctor has a bunch of posters reminding people that antibiotics will not help them if their infection is viral
Try telling that to the idiots in Mexico, my uncle and aunt went there to visit for their daughter and they said they have pharmacies FULL of the stuff!
explaining to people that the surgeon cant update you when their hands are literally inside your family members organs and they will not be stopping the surgery to take your phone call.
Sadly I've sat through many surgeries or have been in surgery myself. We have never asked for an update mid surgery. We just went to the little conference room after they were done and they would update on the situation and let us know they were still waking up and would be in their room in the next half hour or so. We did have one serious situation where the physician came out for permission to remove multiple organs and perform a complete hysterectomy. Cancer sucks...
@@Kugrox its arrogance. Some liberal arts teachers feel they have a superior way of thinking when it comes to everything around them so they are not that open to listening to other people, but have no issue pushing their way of thinking and lifestyle onto your children.
@@waffle3632 Ironically, they are the exact same people who claim to be the most "open minded" as well. Honestly her teaching certification needs to be revoked. How did she even get that job, seriously? Who hired her?
@@waffle3632 what? You do realize this is not a lifestyle but untrue fact? And you do realize this has nothing to do with liberalism? And unless you never went to school, you know that teachers don't tell something like this to students. Why don't you get out of that basement and experience life so you can understand why certain things happen? You are probably a guy since you don't know where this fact comes from. It comes from dumb female magazines and websites alike, those that have recipes, health advices, horoscope... 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. Why do you bind every bad thing to liberalism? Is this some shitty conservative propaganda to make people hate liberals so that church can gain control of people again? Like that would happen ever again...
@@phoenixangel5073 i never said liberalism. I said liberal arts. I do not like to bring politics into my arguments because it voids the argument down to "well that is because of what this ideology supports, or this politician did this and that side is evil" then the conversation goes nowhere.On a second note I have had this happen to me where a teacher in my 5th grade class tried to convince me that vaccines cause autism. I believed it until my routine physical that year when i asked my Doctor and he explained the reasoning for my teacher believing that and why it was misguided to believe that. Yes teachers are not supposed to spread their political and other beliefs, but we cannot feign ignorance and pretend it never happens. Lastly, I also did not call all of LA stupid. Stupid people are everywhere and out of most cities in the US LA one of the largest if not the largest. So there was a high possibility since the population is very large and most times when you think of yoga and Chi you think of LA.
Oral contraceptive: People put them in their hooha Internal contraceptive: chewed up and eaten ..... What is going on in the minds of the average human being not in the medical field?
Either confusion, lack if listening, going through the motions, and not double checking directions and looking up difficult words due to any time lapse from the visit to taking the meds. People need to learn to double check themselves _before_ they wreck themselves.
If is says put in mouth then put in mouth, if says put in hoo-ha put it their. What's so hard about that? 🤨 Then again to some this might be rocket science.
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?
Why don't you just tell your doctor that your mom has dementia ? You can't blame your doctor if you hide information from them and expect them to "grab".
@@petitesayo4542 Oh, I gave them documented proof. They still treated me like I was making it up. I certainly didn't hide anything from them. It was an insane situation all around. And honestly, I've never understood how they didn't just know. I mean, when someone greets you, as if they haven't seen you before, or like it's been years, but they do it every few minutes... Wouldn't you start getting the picture yourself? 🤦🏼😂🤔 When you're looking at the, now empty, food containers and wrappers, that you helped the person open, and they tell you they are starving, and haven't eaten in days, even when they do this 3x a week... 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... Wouldn't that set off alarm bells? Maybe it's just me, having lived with it for so many years. But I see it as common sense.
indeed, obesity is a clearly defined medical condition as is mental retardation however people still give others shit about using the term regardless. My assumption is the words are just so hated that no one wants to hear them regardless of accuracy (sometimes especially if they are accurate such as with obesity)
@@thyhashbrown8298 Autism is a completely different condition that mental retardation. Retardation mainly refers to very low overall intelligence, whereas autism is a specific condition that mostly effects social development. Autistic people are often just as smart as anyone else, they just don't think the same way most people do. My brother is autistic, for example, and he could read when he was about 3 years old; extremely smart. He just has trouble with social cues and the like.
I've had T1D (type one diabetes) since I was 2. A lot of the stories pertaining to the disease here had me cry laughing... The cake while suffering DKA though? I just cried. DKA is a NIGHTMARE and if I was that guy, I'd be throwing that damn cake right back at the family.
qwormuli Type 1 DKA cases are either due to an accident, unrelated illness, equipment failure, undiagnosed diabetes, eating disorder, lack of education and/or interest as well noncompliance. The latter one being the most common cause, sadly.
@@qwormuli77 Do you mean type 2. That is caused by a poor diet like eating cake and soda all the time, obesity and lack of exercise. People actually get it. Type 1 is something you are born with.
@@765respect I knew a friend who ended up with Type 2 diabetes because of his poor diet and being overweight. On his birthday his family had a cake for him, but he could only eat one small piece. The rest ended up with me and some of the guests dividing the rest of the cake and taking it home. He passed away in August 2018 after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.
I worked in a pharmacy and we had a lady who would put her suppositories on her morning toast. She honestly couldn't figure out why it didnt work! We also had to start verbally telling certain patients to UNWRAP the meds that had individual packaging! Far too often we had people put a wrapped suppository into their rectum or tried swallowing a pill in its blister pack!!!!
Wife's a Pharmacist - can absolutely confirm this. A recent customer's idea of using their Salbutamol inhaler was to spray it as a cloud (10 - 20 puffs) then try to inhale the cloud . . . . . They wondered why their inhalers only lasted a day or two! :-)
When I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed I was starving so I blended a pizza. I was only eating mashed potatoes, ice cream, pudding, and apple sauce for 3 days straight because chewing was extremely painful. So I said screw it I really want pizza so I blended it up and I was so happy not to be so hungry. I don’t care if it seems stupid because it worked.
they should really say something other than "clear liquids"... it's not really explaining the requirement well as popsicles and jello aren't clear nor a liquid.
My mom said some of her friend’s friends did that when he broke his jaw. They threw all his favorite foods (🍕🍟🍦 etc.) in a blender. The result was disgusting.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed I simply had soup, pudding, jell-o, and ice cream. Never in a million years would I have pizza or McDonald's burgers and fries blended into a liquid! That's nasty!😝
I'm in nursing school in the netherlands, we have to do internships every year. my first internship was in a local doctors office and I had to explain at least once a week that no, we can't treat your cold with antibiotics because a cold is from a virus and therefor antibiotics don't work. (antibiotics only work for bacteria)
@@miningflame9847 Could also be a misunderstanding or ignorance. As in, people don't know what causes colds because they don't know the distinction between a viral infection and a bacterial one.
Related story:- my dad was at the dentist a few years ago, having a filling put in. The dentist was using the drill to make the hole big enough and my dad's mouth was filling up with cavity gunk and water. Where was the dental assistant (the one who helps with a suction hose)? Talking to her buddy on reception. So my dad stops the dentist and spits out the water/cavity mixture into the bowl next to him. The dentist just looks at the assistant and say's "I need to talk to you after we're done here."
Just lost even more faith in humanity. Jesus I'm no doctor but this shits common sense. I sincerely hope some of this is made up (they are just Reddit comments, after all)
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!
You *can* catch viruses from your computer, but bacterial infections are much more likely. Computers are usually very dirty because people hardly ever bother to clean them. You can't catch a computer virus, obviously.
My father is 100% convinced that he's no longer diabetic because he hardly experiences problems associated with it and is taking medication and what not. Me and my mother always correct him but he still doesn't listen... Maybe it's just hopeful thinking and he knows the truth but it's gotten him in trouble a couple times.
Emma kitty cat diabetes is often called the denial disease. I myself I’m always one step into the hopeful fact that I won’t get sick, but for me I know I am not far off from being back to prediabetic and as I keep trying I still eat stuff that I like but in smaller doses because I still know that I can’t get sick.

Ok but the first guy isn’t to be blamed here, a doctor told him to do it. He went to a doctor and got advice, and it’s the doctors fault for giving him stupid directions.
I have my doubts that a doctor really told him that.

That "germ thoery" one has me shook. It kept me up all night. I just keep going over it again and again in my head... If only there was some kind of device that would allow us to observe these "germ". If only there were centuries of recorded and verified observations and data documenting all the mechanics through which these germs operate. If only science had progressed to the point where we could actually observe and even decode the genetic information of these "germs". If only we had actually developed vaccines and antibiotics from the dead or dying bodies of these "germs" that our bodies are able to use to learn how to fight infections by these "germs". If only any shmuck with a working eye could look through a fucking microscope and actually see these fucking "germs".
Brother recently told me that when he was in the hospital with appendicitis waiting for a it to be removed. A friend of his decided to sneak him in a whopper even though he was on liquids only, nurse came in and said "if you eat that you will die regardless of being in the hospital." Kind of sounded like he was going to eat it before the nurse told him not to, so might not have been thinking straight.
That last one though 😂. I remember when I was first prescribed the pill (the main reason being that it felt like my internal organs were being ripped out my vagina during every period), and my GP told me the story of this poor girl (who was a non-native English speaker) who was having a really weird reaction to the pill, turned out she was taking it back-to-front. Stories like that always make me cringe.
When my mom was seventeen she was given a suppository. She thought it was a giant tablet so she broke it in half, made her friend take some, then ate the other half. Super glad that string of genetic code missed me!
OMG....I had to have my second c-section as sort of an emergency. The anesthesiologist told me I should be fine since it had been like 6 hours since lunch. I hurled my pizza in the OR once my anesthesia kicked in completely. So glad I wasn't put under completely, otherwise it could have been bad.
Ill be honest, I don't know how most birth control work. I'm a guy, so I just pretty much leave that up to the women lol. Don't wanna stick my nose where it doesn't belong you know. Buttttt I'm pretty damn sure, that if i was going to be using something as serious as that, i'd want to do a little research first, maybe ask idk, a single question at all?
Not unless you admit that you have no idea what it is. Not just about that but for any medication, desease, procedure etc.. they won't explain. So whatever you don't know, ask. Better than staying quiet and trying to figure things out by yourself.
@@Etianen7 A lot of people can't read at a high enough level to understand the patient advice leaflet these things usually come with. They're also extremely long, and it's hard sometimes to find the important information. But I think the real problem is that the patient and the doctor both avoid talking about it when it's a reproductive or genitalia-related item. It's silly, but very human, that people can easily be too embarrassed to ask those questions.
Worked with an ophthalmologist on an outreach program in Africa, note "poverty" portion of Africa so we wheren't expecting much. Still, listening to him struggle to explain to PT after PT that cataracts are not spirits wishing to blind them, but a result of typically poor diet and malnutrition. He ended up in many heated arguements with "doctors" that lived in the area.
As a nurse I can tell you that all of these are 100% true, stupidity and ignorance is the true plague on society and I’ve often wondered over the years how people have lived as long as the have!
Lol the catheter in the urethra. For me it was the opposite "wow, I haven't felt the need to pee in 3 days, that's wild!!! I haven't peed in 3 days... Wait! I've been continually peeing for 3 days?“
She'd probably never experienced it. I get the idea that this girl lost her virginity and got pregnant on her first ovulation. Which yes, implies horrific things.

Heard this from a doctor when I still worked as a paramedic: male, about 30 years old, comes into ER and has to have the remnants of a used condom removed from his wiener. He put super glue inside it after it kept on slipping off during intercourse. Thought it would just wash off with some water and soap. Also, personally brought in a teen girl who had positively stuffed herself full of tampons. She didn't know she was supposed to pull the used one out and replace it with a fresh one. Just stuffed in tampon after tampon after tampon. Doctors pulled 5 tampons out of her. Thankfully no other complications.

I plan to join the medical field (Dentistry in the National guard next summer because then I’ll have finished high school) if I was in the situation I would be able to hold back laughter. My fave would probably turn just as red as theirs.
Worked in nursing homes, several poor demented guys have pulled them out even when they had extra large balloons attempting to hold a catheter in place.
Not in the medical field, but on discord I was talking about my most recent ER visit and mentioned a nurse- A random member in the server laughed and said "You called the nurse a guy!" And I was confused. I told him yeah, the nurse was a guy. He then said "Well now we know you are nothing but a liar and the whole story is fake."... He was 100% convinced "nurse" and "doctor" was the same thing but different terms for gender.
My parents are both doctors and I can't ask medical questions if they're busy because they'll mumble some long term or medication name and I have to emphasize that I want an answer in English lol
I think, after seeing this, that some people neglect explaining the catheter to patients before actually inserting it. Hell, I woke up post surgery with a tube out of my dong, terrified of moving even an inch... having had my belly cut open might also been part of it, but the penis thing surely added to it.
A physical education teacher told me that a girl in another PE class had her belly button piercing ripped out by the trampoline. I can still imagine her screaming in pain and it's been 18 year's since I've been to secondary school (high school for those who are American reading this).
Yeah, that's how most condom demonstrations I've seen do it; bananas, cucumbers, sometimes even a dildo. And for the really stupid people, a step-by-step visual guide should be included so it's made absolutely clear to them that it goes on their penis.
i used to work in a restaurant where we'd put the "prime toppings" (bacon, avocado, aioli sauce, etc) and the standard toppings (lettuce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, etc) were in a salad bar next to the pickup window and within eyesight of the front entrance. if i had a penny for every person that either came in and asked what toppings came on the burgers or asked where their lettuce and tomatoes were on their burger while standing next to the salad bar, i could pay off my student loans.

A cousin of mine was admitted to the hospital for diabetic reasons(don't know exactly what it was). His sister greeted him with his favorite cupcakes and proceeded to eat them all herself in front of him.
Last time I checked there are instructions and all that in the packaging. Don't know if my country is just weird but the doctor, the packaging and sometimes the pharmacy tells how to use certain medicine. How does stuff like putting a pill in an ear happen?
I had my wisdom teeth out and was told liquids only, had a cup of tea. Turns out that milk isn’t considered a liquid. I consider myself reasonably well educated but had no clue. Might be worth letting people know this.
I wouldn't have expected that milk is not a liquid. I thought the important part of removing wisdom teeth is to not eat/chew foods, because the bits will end up in the hole and infect it. Milk has no bits?
If you mean before surgery - they should have told you just water or black tea. Milk is considered the same risk for vomiting under sedation (and thus possibly choking) as eating something solid. 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.
Similar story to people getting diabetic patients junk food. My uncle works in a hospital or something and everyone there knows he's a diabetic. DOCTORS, NURSES, OTHERS GOT HIM A CRAP LOAD OF JUNK FOOD FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!!! And my uncle thinks that just taking his pills alone is okay and he can eat whatever he wants. This dude legit had a heart attack at work ON HIS WAY TO GET ICE CREAM
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.

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.
Holy crap I forget how stupid people can be sometimes. Like we all have our moments but putting pills in your dog's ear?? Or giving your kids excessive Vodka thinking it'll make their cold go away!?? I worry sometimes

that's one that I can see people getting confused about. Still something they should have learned in middle school health and/or biology, but I wouldn't be floored if I met someone who didn't understand the significance of the distinction between bacteria and viruses.
@@android19willpwn Well I do now.
Even othereise well educated people dont know this, although it's finally starting to improve. The waiting room at my family doctor has a bunch of posters reminding people that antibiotics will not help them if their infection is viral
you would need anti-virals
Try telling that to the idiots in Mexico, my uncle and aunt went there to visit for their daughter and they said they have pharmacies FULL of the stuff!
explaining to people that the surgeon cant update you when their hands are literally inside your family members organs and they will not be stopping the surgery to take your phone call.
Sweet jesus, I've had so many new techs come in with that request. Doesnt help that we have techs swapped out every 4 months.
Sadly I've sat through many surgeries or have been in surgery myself. We have never asked for an update mid surgery. We just went to the little conference room after they were done and they would update on the situation and let us know they were still waking up and would be in their room in the next half hour or so.
We did have one serious situation where the physician came out for permission to remove multiple organs and perform a complete hysterectomy. Cancer sucks...

For real. How was she a teacher. I dont understand that.
@@Kugrox its arrogance. Some liberal arts teachers feel they have a superior way of thinking when it comes to everything around them so they are not that open to listening to other people, but have no issue pushing their way of thinking and lifestyle onto your children.
@@waffle3632
Ironically, they are the exact same people who claim to be the most "open minded" as well. Honestly her teaching certification needs to be revoked. How did she even get that job, seriously? Who hired her?
@@waffle3632 what? You do realize this is not a lifestyle but untrue fact? And you do realize this has nothing to do with liberalism? And unless you never went to school, you know that teachers don't tell something like this to students. Why don't you get out of that basement and experience life so you can understand why certain things happen?
You are probably a guy since you don't know where this fact comes from. It comes from dumb female magazines and websites alike, those that have recipes, health advices, horoscope...
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.
Why do you bind every bad thing to liberalism? Is this some shitty conservative propaganda to make people hate liberals so that church can gain control of people again? Like that would happen ever again...
@@phoenixangel5073 i never said liberalism. I said liberal arts. I do not like to bring politics into my arguments because it voids the argument down to "well that is because of what this ideology supports, or this politician did this and that side is evil" then the conversation goes nowhere.On a second note I have had this happen to me where a teacher in my 5th grade class tried to convince me that vaccines cause autism. I believed it until my routine physical that year when i asked my Doctor and he explained the reasoning for my teacher believing that and why it was misguided to believe that. Yes teachers are not supposed to spread their political and other beliefs, but we cannot feign ignorance and pretend it never happens. Lastly, I also did not call all of LA stupid. Stupid people are everywhere and out of most cities in the US LA one of the largest if not the largest. So there was a high possibility since the population is very large and most times when you think of yoga and Chi you think of LA.

..... What is going on in the minds of the average human being not in the medical field?
Literally nothing. They don't have an actual brain. Just a few strands of neurons. Just enough for them to walk and breath.
As a completely useless non-medical piece of shit, I can confirm this.
Either confusion, lack if listening, going through the motions, and not double checking directions and looking up difficult words due to any time lapse from the visit to taking the meds.
People need to learn to double check themselves _before_ they wreck themselves.

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?
Why don't you just tell your doctor that your mom has dementia ?
You can't blame your doctor if you hide information from them and expect them to "grab".
@@petitesayo4542 Oh, I gave them documented proof. They still treated me like I was making it up. I certainly didn't hide anything from them. It was an insane situation all around. And honestly, I've never understood how they didn't just know. I mean, when someone greets you, as if they haven't seen you before, or like it's been years, but they do it every few minutes... Wouldn't you start getting the picture yourself? 🤦🏼😂🤔 When you're looking at the, now empty, food containers and wrappers, that you helped the person open, and they tell you they are starving, and haven't eaten in days, even when they do this 3x a week... 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... Wouldn't that set off alarm bells? Maybe it's just me, having lived with it for so many years. But I see it as common sense.
The doctor is not mean by calling you obese.
indeed, obesity is a clearly defined medical condition as is mental retardation however people still give others shit about using the term regardless. My assumption is the words are just so hated that no one wants to hear them regardless of accuracy (sometimes especially if they are accurate such as with obesity)
Sigmas Inc. well I don’t believe mental retardation is still used as a medical term anymore It’s now autism but I agree with your point
Poo Poo mental retardation refers to extremely low IQ, not autism.
@@thyhashbrown8298 Autism is a completely different condition that mental retardation. Retardation mainly refers to very low overall intelligence, whereas autism is a specific condition that mostly effects social development. Autistic people are often just as smart as anyone else, they just don't think the same way most people do. My brother is autistic, for example, and he could read when he was about 3 years old; extremely smart. He just has trouble with social cues and the like.

I've had T1D (type one diabetes) since I was 2. A lot of the stories pertaining to the disease here had me cry laughing... The cake while suffering DKA though? I just cried. DKA is a NIGHTMARE and if I was that guy, I'd be throwing that damn cake right back at the family.
Sadly, the type to get DKA from type 1 are rarely the ones with the sense to reject the cake.

@@Lemonz1989 What I meant, exactly.
@@qwormuli77 Do you mean type 2. That is caused by a poor diet like eating cake and soda all the time, obesity and lack of exercise. People actually get it. Type 1 is something you are born with.

I worked in a pharmacy and we had a lady who would put her suppositories on her morning toast. She honestly couldn't figure out why it didnt work!

Wife's a Pharmacist - can absolutely confirm this. A recent customer's idea of using their Salbutamol inhaler was to spray it as a cloud (10 - 20 puffs) then try to inhale the cloud . . . . . They wondered why their inhalers only lasted a day or two! :-)

6:55 Blending McDonald's burgers and fries to drink through a straw.. Umm, excuse me, what?!
Enough Murica for today.
When I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed I was starving so I blended a pizza. I was only eating mashed potatoes, ice cream, pudding, and apple sauce for 3 days straight because chewing was extremely painful. So I said screw it I really want pizza so I blended it up and I was so happy not to be so hungry. I don’t care if it seems stupid because it worked.
they should really say something other than "clear liquids"... it's not really explaining the requirement well as popsicles and jello aren't clear nor a liquid.
My mom said some of her friend’s friends did that when he broke his jaw. They threw all his favorite foods (🍕🍟🍦 etc.) in a blender. The result was disgusting.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed I simply had soup, pudding, jell-o, and ice cream. Never in a million years would I have pizza or McDonald's burgers and fries blended into a liquid! That's nasty!😝

My sister tried to stay professional but couldn't hold back her laughter after she left!
You *can* catch viruses from your computer, but bacterial infections are much more likely. Computers are usually very dirty because people hardly ever bother to clean them. You can't catch a computer virus, obviously.

Brother recently told me that when he was in the hospital with appendicitis waiting for a it to be removed. A friend of his decided to sneak him in a whopper even though he was on liquids only, nurse came in and said "if you eat that you will die regardless of being in the hospital." Kind of sounded like he was going to eat it before the nurse told him not to, so might not have been thinking straight.

He put super glue inside it after it kept on slipping off during intercourse. Thought it would just wash off with some water and soap.
Also, personally brought in a teen girl who had positively stuffed herself full of tampons. She didn't know she was supposed to pull the used one out and replace it with a fresh one. Just stuffed in tampon after tampon after tampon. Doctors pulled 5 tampons out of her. Thankfully no other complications.

Pink Magic Ali TBF doctors will forgive that error, they usually explicitly say that's considered not fluid.
I wouldn't have expected that milk is not a liquid. I thought the important part of removing wisdom teeth is to not eat/chew foods, because the bits will end up in the hole and infect it. Milk has no bits?
Milk is usually considered a liquid but in the case of oral surgery it's really bad because it can keep the wound from healing
@@saammmy7 How does it work though?
If you mean before surgery - they should have told you just water or black tea. Milk is considered the same risk for vomiting under sedation (and thus possibly choking) as eating something solid.
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.

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.
9:17 That dog is smarter and has better eating habits than his owner! I wouldn't eat my food either if it was drowned in ketchup!
Holy crap I forget how stupid people can be sometimes. Like we all have our moments but putting pills in your dog's ear?? Or giving your kids excessive Vodka thinking it'll make their cold go away!?? I worry sometimes
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*
7:58 Plan should have been "Educate".
Kinda makes me wonder how some people don't just forget how to breathe......
I think that's called sudden infant death syndrome.
as a type one diabetic, half of these stories PISS ME OFF OH MY GOD HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO STUPID???
7:42 lmao , outline for a journal article well summarized
You never truly know how dumb someone is until you ask a medical doctor what kind of patients they see
Really hurts as a type 1 diabetic that people know nothing about diabetes EVEN IF THEY HAVE IT! it's a constant battle lol
