      “The pill” - if you mean the *birth control* pill, that’s not completely crazy. Us dudes don’t need to know *how* it works if we aren’t in medicine. (See note)
      I know it does stuff with hormones that suppresses your menstrual cycle, which also serves to save you from bad periods if you’re unlucky and have particularly bad periods.
      Note: similarly, most of you laypeople don’t need to know much of *how* a computer does things, you just need to (1) know that it can and (2), ideally, have a rough idea of the limitations of them so you’re not asking the IT people or us programmers to make it do something impossible or that, while possible, would take so long as to render it pointless.

    I used to work for an optometrist. 20ish year old girl came in with her mom so the both of them could get exams. My boss diagnosed the girl with congenital cataracts (usually the patients have no idea, it's usually pretty unnoticeable). My boss left the exam room and I'm updating their charts and the girl looks her mom and says "What do my eyes have to do with my vag?"

The amount of needles I had in my heels mean I still have scars from them nearly 30 years later. baby being premmie and growing in an incubator is more dangerous than baby growing inside their mother. children born premmie are not ready for the world yet. You decided you wanted to keep that baby and bring it into the world, you can't just bail out of growing it partway through and make the government pay for it just because it's uncomfortable.

    We referred him to urology, who told him they have to put a tiny needle through his bladder (from above) and burst the bulb so that it'll come out.

    As a cancer survivor (of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma actually) I don't think anything makes me more furious than snake oil salesmen preying on cancer patients in such a vulnerable point in their lives. Like, I know they probably have airtight contracts and legal loopholes they exploit to avoid lawsuits, but it breaks my heart to hear about people with treatable cancers who go the homeopathic route because some untrained idiot decided in their mind it was better, only to go back to get chemo once the cancer is untreatable.
    To the woman swallowing her nuvaring, someone needs to figure out who her gyno is because good god that person is clearly not doing their job. I used to take the nuvaring in college and when I first started using it it was needlessly confusing, and the people at the office treated me like I was stupid when I had questions, even though they had basically handed me the thing and told me to gtfo. I never went back there.

    To people asking if HIPPA would overrule any legal (and ethical) responsibility to report something like the 13 year old with the 19 year old boyfriend, I don't know for sure, but I would guess it would be similar to how teachers are mandated reporters. Regardless of any confidentiality rules, if abuse or anything similar is suspected, it must be reported. The doctors are working for the child's well being, so if something is harming the child's well being, it must be reported. Even if it means that some non-medical personell are given confidential medical information, because they need that information to help the child.
    Like I said, I really only know about how it is for teachers, but I would guess it must be the same concept. All I really know, though, is that for teachers, confidential information about students can be shared when it is absolutely necessary to help the student. Usually this just means that info can be shared with other educators that work with the student, if they need to know (so, if a student is special needs, and they spend some time in a normal classroom, but some time in a SPED room, both the SPED teacher and the traditional classroom teacher would be allowed to see the student's IEP). It also applies, though, if certain information is required to make a report to CPS to protect the child.

    My husband, ex now, ate some chili that had been sitting out for 2 days. I knew it would give him food poisoning because there were bubbles, a froth, on top. I just stirred it up until the bubbles were gone.. Watched him eat it, get violently ill, then the ER. He used to beat me every day, no lie, so I was hoping it would kill him. Too bad it didn't.

    Well a video started going viral in our home town- a guy in a pub toilet filming himself putting a match stick up his pee hole and then striking the match. It eventually made it to the nurses phone as we were sat in the same pub it happened in and she put the pieces together and knew exactly how he’d gotten burned and she said- “he asked me to just superglue the whole area shut and he’d just hold in peeing until it was healed.”

    I can answer that for you, let’s see, I don’t remember the quantities, but six sugars for every tea, and that’s straight sugar, not sugar, substitute, not Splenda and Stevia. And then six meals a day and all they are are bacon sandwiches with butter. I am almost certain that’s white bread. Those are called simple, carbs, and I’m a type two diabetic due to no fault for my own, unless you call my genetics my own fault. Rare genetic syndrome that gets every doctor I’ve ever met to have one of those beautiful lightbulb moments that makes them get out their old med textbooks. Anyway, if you think of carbs as yarn and body as the person unraveling me ball of yarn, simple, carves, like sugar, and white bread, take a really short time unravel. Bacon has a lot of sodium in it, especially if it’s cured, sodium, jack up your blood pressure, so your heart has to work harder to get the blood everywhere. I can see how his blood pressure is really high and he’s either prediabetic or diabetic. And I’m almost certain that’s not unsalted butter or grass fed butter, so then the sodium gets jacked up more. There’s also no color, that’s what I know is a brown and yellow meal, it has the same color combination as fried chicken and macaroni and cheese. He needs a diet lecture courtesy of my mother, but short of that he could use a change from standard white bread to whole wheat bread to an ancient grain bread, like spelt bread, or a brand that I like, called food for life Ezekiel. Mom is a next nursing student, got LPN, but life events plus adrenal burnout doctor from getting her RN, both she and I should’ve been nutrition majors. She is now licensed, massage therapist, so she’s in that ballpark, me, while we’re getting there. Same syndrome, I mentioned before also causes blindness, so getting employees to not be terrified of me is the first step.

    IMO, the story at 20:08 isn't as dumb as it seems. Anyone who has ever read a soap bottle has definitely seen "For external use only." Someone could read that and think "Man, they put that there for a reason, probably shouldn't let that get in my body. I'm fairly loose from all the butt stuff, so I'm just not gonna risk it." A misguided conclusion for sure, but it's entirely reasonable.
