Doctors, What's the Dumbest Way a Patient Made His Condition Worse? 

Your grandma is incredibly lucky and sounds like a social butterfly.

Dear lord that’s amazingly lucky… It almost reminds me of when Sig Hansen had a “widowmaker” heart attack on Deadliest Catch and only went back because of the cameraman saying “maybe you should go back”.

I was tutoring at a Sylvan Learning Center one year, and was told I'd be working one on one with a middle aged woman, a very unusual situation, to say the least. Turns out she'd had a massive brain aneurism/stroke, the survival rate of which was less than 4-5%, and anyone who did somehow manage to pull through, was given a 0% chance of being anything other than a "vegetable", as she put it. That lovely woman, not only survived, but was able to do nearly everything she could prior to it. She just struggled with her speech, and reading fluidity/comprehension, hence why she was there. Truly a miracle, and a great reminder that as bad as things can sometimes seem, they can always be A LOT worse. Be grateful for what you have, and don't sweat the small stuff. Amazing what the mind is capable of!?!?

It’s also a reason to get a DNR order if you’re going to hospice (but be sure to also state you want to be comfortable though).

Had a herbalist like that, all she did was make my IBS worse.

Totally agree. Health care system is completely messed up. Dental needs too be included. How can they say ur teeth and mouth are not part of medical care. A lot of times poor dental health affects ur heart and other organs.

@@kathleengivant-taylor2277 honestly.. when I saw $350 for anesthesia I got confused since I live in a european country, not even a rich one. The US is behind developing countries

100% this

Diabetes is nothing to ignore or treat in a half ass manner!

This is a scary reminder how serious diabetes is . Nothing too ignore

Technically his way of thinking makes sense. Only 1 beer a day = not drink for 7 days means 7 beers in one day. Makes sense if put like that but if you can only drink 1 beer a day at most because of a medical condition well yeah then that doesn't make much sense anymore

Don’t be like Terry.

I don’t know what DDM or DMD mean plz explain

That's literally her job, if she thinks discussing genitalia at a GYNO appointment she shouldn't be a gynecologist

You need a new doctor kid....

@@TADYR only abnormal genitalia, what bugged me was normal. At least according to my mom. She got upset when I discussed getting a second opinion as that would be disrespectful, especially since I'm "lazy" (=bad grades due to untreated adhd).

@@jessicadesrosiers7467 I started getting new doctors as soon as I found out why I am different from what's considered normal and gow to describe it. Also, I go to doctors i a nearby big city, just in case (small town gyno's biggest problem was my sexuality and the fact that I don't want any kids of my own. Ever)

Wtf?? Nah man, they just sound like a bad gyno to me! Where else are you supposed to ask these questions?? Also how are you supposed to know what is normal and what isn't if you don't ask? Unless your mother is a professional she has no right to tell you what is and isn't 'normal'. Being supposed to know just because you have a vag is also bs. I've known/heard of plenty of women who didn't even realise that we pee out of our urethra, not the vaginal canal! There's a reason why we have sex ed and puberty education in most schools, people don't just know these thing without being told!

Lol! I know! Makes me wonder about people.

I believe in it for mental stuff (basically placebo. If you hold this pretty rock, you'll be more confident, that kinda stuff) but the majority of crystal people know that it can't heal a broken bone or cure infections, it's a "boost" not a fix.

I hate those people, either they’re snake oil salespeople, or ignorant fanatics who maim/kill people with their “good intentions”.

Worse pain then nearly cutting your leg of and soaking it in diesel??

@@hedera1332 Ya never know

Except for the chihuahua

Here’s hoping that the poor dog was taken away from their abusive owner and given to someone who actually cares.

Are you doing well now?

@@murasakirin8998 Yes I have some speech problems which just seems like very mild stuttering at times but other than that I’m fine

@@MaxwellVrooman I'm glad your doing okay now.

I hope the best for you always.

I understand. I have insurance but it is very costly and doesn't cover what it used to. Healthcare, medication, insurance are too expensive and a lot of it is because of greed!

Absolutely! We need to get with the rest of the world and have accessible Healthcare for all.

Chainsaw accidents like that really do happen. You have to be diligent and very careful with tools like that, but even then, a chainsaw can kick and next thing ya know you're missing a limb.

@@lynpepler damn, ok so that eliminates my whole "how high or drunk were you" theory, but doesn't make it any less jaw-dropping regardless

@@pokefan213 I absolutely agree with you. Like, HOW?! That had to have been excruciating.

@@lynpepler adrenaline Is one hell of a drug

Me either. I'll stick with my glasses!

I had a friend who had breast cancer, and started doing all these "alternative medicines". I couldn't understand it. Took a while, but I finally got the story straight - she was doing them because she had no other choice; by the time anything was detected the cancer had already metastasized all over her body. See, she had no medical insurance, and hadn't seen a doctor in well over a decade. All that time she felt fine until one day she had a "sore" that erupted out of her chest and solid tissue started coming out of it over a few days... then she thought "maybe I'll just go in and pay cash, because this is weird." All her organs, bones, even brain was affected before the cancer was ever discovered. There was literally nothing the doctors could do once her condition was diagnosed other than tell her "go home and die. We'll give you drugs so it won't hurt so much." Which, ultimately, is exactly what happened... but in the meantime she tried whatever she could think of to see if it would help. She was 34.

@@MrJest2 sorry for your loss I was pointing out how many folks, even when insurance are forced to pay, would resort to alternative medicine as the first time of defense. Before long, a Dr Phil like guy shows up before long. Where I live, insurance companies have to pay up before if for preexisting conditions. It applies to both state and private companies. If alternative medicine is a last resort, then insurance companies have to pay up. The state takes that seriously. To be fair, I've been on state-owned insurance for as long as I can remember due to disabilities that limits how long I can work in a day.

1. Glasses can be uncomfortable 2. Some people don't like the way they look with glasses 3. You don't have to wipe your contacts every 20 minutes 4. Contacts won't fall off (unless they're really dry, which is a you problem...)

You just have an increased risk of cancer, depending on your age. So some people could smoke their whole lives and not get cancer.

@@animeepstudios9110 true that but my method lf smoking is extremely unhealty lol

Just give yourself more time. You’re impatient. Six years is nothing. Stick with it, you’ll get cancer some day.

@@Z38_USAnd you appear to be proud that you’re slowly committing suicide? Weird! 🤦‍♀️

@@Ali-fq3nz No I'm just saying. Also it ain't like you can't live a long life if you smoke you still can the chances that something will happen are just greatly increased. I think that people who want to smoke simply should be able to and people that don't shouldn't have to. This of course also includes that you limit smoking around non smokers.
