Frankly, any patient who lies to their doctor should be exempt from all forms of malpractice lawsuits.
Absolutely.
Prohibited, not exempt.
Lots of documentation in the records help.
To be fair, if the malpractice is unrelated to the lie, that shouldn't bar them from suing. But the fact that they lied should definitely be taken into account if it causes problems down the line.
I had a surgeon who lied to me, she has multiple class action suits against her, but, when I asked a lawyer if I could seek a malpractice suit, they said no because lying was involved, and that it didn't matter who was lying. X.x
The tampon one... how is that woman still alive!?!? Pretty much every brand screams up and down to take them out after 12 hours max to avoid a life-threatening infection.... 7 years... holy shit.
It's not often guaranteed you'll end up with toxic shock. It tends to rely on the bacteria you already have cultivating down there naturally, and the tampon is a FANTASTIC breeding ground for microbes. You can still end up septic after awhile but it also depends on how resiliant your body is and how much your vagina absorbs into your body. Biology is weird.
@@allyenderman1502 Interesting. I've never been told about it in that much depth (only enough to keep safe in daily life, obviously), so I just got the shorthand version of "take the dang tampon out before microbes breed and spread".
But it's morbidly fascinating how much that can vary. The human body really is wild.
@@moleyface I mean it's generally a good idea to make sure you take the dang thing out like the packagjng says, just in case you've developed a bloom of this bacteria anyways, but yeah it's not always a specific thing anyone will get. Usually it'll make you pretty sick though, ao the fact that she had it in there for seven years without incident is... honestly terrifying.
Most say MAX 8 hrs
@@lj.853 I know, and with reason, but I've forgotten one for 24 hours without issue. It's more or less how your body's microbiome already is set up.
"That man wanted to frick a tree, and by God he tried!"
Nope, he got FRICKED by that tree.
We have lots of parents (I'm a pediatric nurse) deny being smokers when the smell is soooo clearly present (often times enough to stink up the whole room which is exactly what other parents want to smell during their kids' visits)
Everybody lies.
To be fair, addicts often aren't aware of how much they took, which is part of the problem. It's hard to tell if they're lying or if they don't even know
The other thing is that most people are unaware that doctors won't report such things to the police. The reason they don't is so addicts won't be afraid to check themselves into the ER.
@@redshirt49 Even if they know the doctor won’t turn them in, it’s natural to be ashamed/embarrassed.
@@KnakuanaRka not only that, it is reported to your insurance companies which can cause issues for some

@@Avatar-Destiny it was true before he said it ;)
There have been ancient Mesopotamian trader's carts recovered with hidden, tax evading compartments. People have been lying since speech existed
My mom is a nurse and has people coming in with CRAZY situations before.
One lady, was not suicidal, but simply was BEGGING for attention. Sooo she swallowed NEEDLES. SEWING NEEDLES! She wanted attention from her family and wasnt getting it and this was the result. She was a full grown woman by the way.
Well then they got the needles out surgically and she left the hospital fine.
Then a while later, she comes back. You know what she did? That’s right, she swallowed MORE NEEDLES. I guess she didn’t get enough attention the first time. She’s doing okay physically but I don’t know about mentally.
when I was a baby I shoved a makeup sponge into my nose so far that it absorbed food... Appearently it smelled horrible
and then a couple years later I shoved a barbie boot into my nose
I got an infection under my fingernail as a child. It was because I picked my nose is think but I never admitted this to the doctor. I said I didn't have a clue how it happened lol
@@matthewhalo1799 haha most likely. I was knuckle deep most of the time as a kid
I don't get narcotics.... I had pneumonia 12ish years ago and got put on a narcotic to help with the pain, not sure of which one, but the feeling I got was not enjoyable. It made me nauseous and uncomfortable. Telling the nurse this she said, "I'm glad I only gave you half dose to what the doctor suggested then."
Whenever I hear the "not a doctor" thing, I always remember those old commercials that started with "I'm not a doctor, but I played one on TV"
It makes me think of the girl who played Amy on big bang and is now a host on Jeopardy who does those but says "I didn't just play a smart person on TV, Im an actual **whatever she studied/did in real life**.
@@ameliarose47 I know. She is a Neurophysist . I may have spelled that wrong
"..smelly, red, swollen, pus draining SCROTUM.. some of it was even NECROTIC."
DEAR GODS, WHY DO I ALWAYS WATCH THESE DURING A MEAL????
This one hit home, because I had a similar very painful infection that did resolve with one round of IV antibiotics and three weeks of oral antibiotics. How in the hell anyone is stupid enough to then go on to operate on his own scrotum is beyond me.
Although I did get to joke in the ER, "This is not a vasectomy limp."
I trust the nurses more than anyone else. They do the real work, help us heal and take care of us. No matter what we need, they help us.❤Love your nurse!
I personally trust doctors. Too many bad experiences with nurses.

@@bigbawlzlebowski8886 ah yes how could I be so foolish?
Honestly, the person in denial about using an opioid after having Narcan administered isn't surprising to me. I had to use Narcan on someone I knew and she denied ODing the whole time.
Once my doctor asked if I smoked weed and I was like pffft no what are you talking about and she said that I was positive for marijuana and just looked at me I never felt so stupid lol
Coming from someone whose now been sober for 4 years+. I can definitely vouch for telling the doc the truth about how much you've been using/drinking as your about to begin detox. I lied initially, seized on and off for a couple of hours. They realised and I owned up. My detox Really was slightly more tolerable with the right amount of meds
Good job getting sober! 👍
I'm sure it's hard to trust being so vulnerable about the drugs, and congratulations for getting sober. I watched another one of these about prison and a dude died from withdrawal. Medical professionals aren't there to judge, they're here to keep you alive. I'm glad they were able to get you on the right meds.
Sometimes dumb patients are scarier than the surgeries themselves
Sometimes you just want to SLAP the parent. How igonorant can you be?!
if you wanna come that bad and you can't just talk to your doctor and hever them switch your anti depression meds. most doctor will switch you if you having side effect that effect you in a big negative way.
Seriously! It’s a common side effect with some SSRIs, and some people are effected more severely than others. I take an SSRI that’s notorious for cockblocking people but I have no issues. I’ve been on it for a few years and I’ve never had any difficulty achieving orgasm. I have a friend though who was on the same medication for a while that just couldn’t cum at all under just about any circumstances and ultimately had to switch because her quality of life was suffering. Either she’d stop taking her meds for a few days so she could nut when she had a date, or she’d take her meds as prescribed and be incapable of orgasm. So she switched and I haven’t heard her complain about not being able to cum since. There’s options out there.
I don't understand why people can't admit to problems about their genitals or butt.
Like I am 150% open and honest, saying it like it is, I am not shitting around because I know time is sparse for docs anyway so I want to get ACTUAL help for my ACTUAL problem asap and not waste everyone's time and maybe risk my health by lying to hospital staff. Because either they find out anyway and being caught lying would be 10x worse and more embarrassing imho than admitting I have, idk, a pear in my ass? Or they don't find out and I go home with the same problem I came in with and probably only get worse until I have to go to the ER again anway and admit what happened, or die at home.
Im losing my shit how does a toothpick happen to fall directly into the pisshole
Went to Dr. for abdominal pain. He said he would run a pregnancy test. I said don't bother, I am sure I am not pregnant. He smirks and says "just to be sure,ok?" I told him to read my chart. I had a complete hysterectomy 10 years ago. So, ya.
Maybe I don’t want to go into medical school
But I did quit smoking 10 years ago. I just started smoking again 9 years ago

i died slightly-
At about three minutes, the toddler with gut pain. In all the tests called for, nobody got a fecal sample (looking for blood being passed, etc)?????
Theres two answers to this question. Weirdest thing that a patient did, that they wouldn't and not too. Or the weirdest thing that a patient wouldn't admit too that was a relatively normal thing but it was weird they didn't share the details.
I wanna know how you can laugh about a toddlers painful 3 month persisting parasite infection. But I guess you get used to it when you work in the medical field
I think it’s more of the fact that they were there for 6 hours and despite being asked several times, the parents didn’t think to mention their son had worms
The funny part wasn’t that the kid was sick, it was that the idiot parents were there for hours and repeatedly failed/refused to mention that he had worms in his stool.
You missed the point of the whole story
Its probably more of a "losing one's sanity" kinda funny laugh. Youve been there for hours, stressed asf, worried asf, questioning yourself as a doctor, wondering if your patient who is just a child will die, and suddenly after already not getting enough sleep and working tirelessly HOURS later they mention the worms and you just have to break down laughing because otherwise you'd break down crying
The doctor blamed the parents for wasting his time? The FIRST damn thing you do with a toddler in abdominal pain is get a stool sample

Wow crazy crazy world we live in.. I just can't fathom it 🤦🏼♀️
When the OB/GYN asked me and my sister if we'd ever had sex (with Mom in room) and my sister hesitated before saying no. Doc looked at my mom and asked if she believed that. Mom said no. Doc made sis do a urine test. I never heard anything else about it but at least she wasn't pregnant. It was especially funny to me though because the doc believed me just fine (I wasn't lying when I said no btw, but sis just sounded very suspicious with that pause)
I drank a water bottle my old friends had that had m in it and it was not funny surprise.. I had to cancel work that morning
Holy shit.
What is M? Molly? Meth?

"Not a doctor, but I play one on TV and in your mom's bedroom before the real fun begins."
2:49 it stopped right there... ugh.
Girl/woman: I'm not pregnant I'm a virgin...
ER doctor/nurse: alright virgin Mary give me a good push..... It's a boy! Shall we put Jesus on his birth certificate?

How does one get seeds in their BLADDER?!
Some people do have friends who are shitty enough to spike their drinks
What I've learned from this is that if I ever take any drugs and end up in hospital, I should just be honest cause they really don't give a fuck, they just want to know so they can take it into account with the treatment.
Dude talking cant say simple things like US or IT or ER (emergency room) or ICU ( calls it i coo) etc etc etc but knows what iirc (if i recall correctly) means no problems
It's a computer-not a person
It’s a text-to-speech device, not a person.
This is the thread dr. Mike reacted to
Can you get in trouble if you come back positive for certain drugs
Not in UK, your just labelled alchy or druggy
No they don't report to police unless a child is in danger. In that case they may contact CPS.
Not true. My sister is a paramedic and also works at a hospital. They need to know if the drugs they are planning to give you will interact badly with the ones you already took. Some combinations are deadly... They do not report people for using illegal drugs and they need people to be honest with them.
Although she has been shocked by some of the people who appear clean cut and also use hard drugs.
How do these people shove these things in these places.
1:05 they aint police
Yeah notice this is usually not doctors, it’s nurses, because nurses are the front line with the with the patient and also doctors are too busy to be on reddit!

English major here. Please do not say "nauseous " when you actually mean "nauseated ". If I am nauseated, then I am sick. If I am nauseous, then my appearance or whatever is making you sick.
This didn't seem right so I looked it up quick. First definition is "affected with nausea, inclined to vomit"
Another English major and writer here. No one. Asked. It's just kind of pretentious and patronising to point out and correct such minor errors like that, especially in an informal setting. At the end of the day, you got what they meant. It doesn't matter.
