"Just because I'm a vet does not mean I'm a mentalcase!" Dr. Charles (in the most nonchalant way possible): "Well you did walk in here and stab yourself in the head"
As someone who has heard my heartbeat off and on since I hit puberty, I feel bad for him. But I also have a heart thing and migraines, so that's probably not the worst thing that happens to me.
@@angeldark404 IKR? In my case it has sometimes been a precursor to passing out. A very welcome signal btw. Having it happen while riding my bike has gotten me off the road instead of under someone's vehicle. Now that signal shows up I drop everything. Turn off stove top etc and pray I don't pass out for 48+ hours. I usually call the Dr within a day, if it doesn't resolve, for whatever pushed my health over the edge. It's also associated with my asthma, when my O2 or hydration goes down my heart pushes harder. So stupid to ignore that signal.
I never used to look at it that way, "Your heart is fighting for you to live", until I saw this episode. Every time I get sick or have an anxiety attack I put my hand over my heart and just listen to it. Sometimes I had to keep my hand there for a couple of seconds and sometimes I would have to keep it there for hours but it would always make me cry tears of happiness to just hear my heart beating.
Lord I used to do the same thing. I had panic attacks, but they were also bolstered by paranoia and fear that something was wrong with my body. I would press down on my chest to feel if my heartbeat was normal, as if I could somehow feel a heart attack or a seizure or whatever else. No matter what I felt there I was never satisfied XD I can laugh about it now because it was YEARS ago, and I thankfully grew out of it, but I do wonder what caused those attacks. They're nonexistent now as a 22 year old :/
@kerstiny4698 Makes me think of that anime about the white and red blood cells. I think it was called "Cells at Work." Didn't actually watch it, but it turns our internal cells and organs AMD illnesses into cute anime people in a slice-of-life comedy.
SAME! That gave me such a different perspective on my anxiety. I saw this the other day. Every time I get ansty from my heart beating louder and/or faster, I keep saying "Hey buddy. Thank you." This was an short conversation that I never knew I needed to hear.
I've been having nightmares come to find out its one side effect of blood pressure meds. I wonder how many vets are suffering with the same issue and get told they are crazy.
Thats the problem with America. They actively recruit kids to join the military and send them to combat because of oil and when they returned all broken and wounded, they were forgotten. In Japan, military veterans are honoured and respected. Every single soldier, no matter the rank or vocation, will receive a lifetime of pension, free housing, free education for their children and for themselves and free lifetime healthcare in any hospitals or clinics in the country.
see it as a life scar and punishment for all the innocent killing they did. like at least 3 million in Irak between 2003 till now. Imagine what the family of those killed people are going thru. And for what? Oil?
U know y it is like tht? Its coz of the system.. The number of stamdard organisations who controls and emphasises the do's and don'ts inside a hospitals. Bcoz of whom hospitals nowadays should value more abt their methods and policies than patients needs. Its pity but true...
Why should he be able to cut everyone else in like for something non life threatening? People are there with heart attacks, strokes etc. hearing your own heartbeat isn’t exactly urgent
So, every time someone comes in panicked over anything we should take them back immediately? Wow, we'd never get to anyone with a life threatening emergency. People really need to stop telling us how to do our job, admin all the way down to people who think they need to be seen 'right now' for a stubbed toe.
It's not about the person who is sick that entering the hospital.or clinic with doctors it about the people he will hurt by his action, throwing things from that premises
@@butterflyhigh5237 so again, if the person is panicking for any reason we should take them back immediately regardless? Absolutely not! We don't have the beds and the staff for that! You get triaged, given a priority according to your complaint and we see you as quickly and safely as possible. You don't like it change the healthcare system. We do our best with what we're given.
He do resonate with people who know whats wrong with their body but can't explain it to other or the people around them just dismissed him and turn him down when they need help most.
For folks who don’t know, if you have this problem especially at night or very quiet times, you could have a thinning or hole in the bone in your inner ear called superior canal dehiscence syndrome… it’s thinning or hole forming causes sound to not go thru the ear, but thru the hole, getting to your brain receptors in another form. Basically you can hear things twice, a ‘reverberation’ or echo of your own voice, hearing your pulse and possibly the sound of your eyes moving. It’s rare, I had it.
I had a patient with the hole. He said it took decades for them to find it. He was put in institutions and medicated but nothing helped. After finding it they told him the only thing to fix it was surgery and it was high risk and not recommended.
I remember that one from Grey's Anatomy. I'm glad someone was able to diagnose you instead of just say that it was all in your head. They like to do that. My mother had an acoustic neuroma. I wish somebody had told one of us that those things can recur. We didn't know...
So... This isn't a normal thing to have? How loud does it have to be to indicate something like that? I can only hear it faintly, and it doesn't really bother me, so is it still indicative of something like that?
Usually if a patient is that distressed and panicked with symptoms like that it's treated as an emergency and he'd get in fairly fast. Could be a sign of a cardiac emergency or a severe head/brain injury.
If a person is screaming at the top of his lungs, looking very distressed and that he needs help immediately, he needs to be sent to see a doctor/nurse immediately. Because something could be seriously wrong with him.
In theory sure, in reality they can't encourage that behaviour. If people knew all they needed to do to get immediate attention is cause a fuss everyone would do it, I don't think I need to explain why that's an issue. Also acting threatening towards people trying to do their jobs isn't okay. There's no real solution. Plenty of those people waiting could have had something seriously wrong with them, not really fair to assume someone should get priority if they look more or less physically fine just because they're yelling.
@@coffeekat5066 Simple, if they're admitted to a nurse and the tests find no issues, they will be fined, or even arrested for a period of time, if there is an issue, their distress is valid
@@ron3557 Because issues are never missed in an overworked ER. What do you do in the event of a panic attack? My heart rate was at 160 for hours, absolutely no electrical or structural issues. If I'd done what you suggest I could have taken a bed from someone suffering a heart attack. What about patients who are in severe distress but physically can't make a fuss because of COPD? What about someone who does kick up a fuss and the doctor gets annoyed and declares nothing wrong solely so they get fined? There was nothing immediately dangerous about this guy's condition that he couldn't have waited an hour or two for the triage nurse to get to him, and he took a lot of time and resources away from people who needed it. Basing triage on who's the loudest is about the stupidest way to do it imaginable.
My sister has been going through this for months on end ,after lots of testing the ENT decided that she needs surgery but it's life threatening and for her age he is not willing to risk it,she was given a hearing aid to help her
I had a similar problem. I’ve had tinnitus for 22 years; since I was 10/11. My tinnitus had gotten so bad that I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour because of the constant deafening ringing. I couldn’t hear myself think. It’s a very scary feeling to be so tortured by horrific sound that you can’t sleep, can’t function, can’t anything. You become an immobilized jailed passenger in your own body. I went to the ENT who sent me to the audiologist who gave me hearing aids. I don’t need hearing aids for loss/lack of hearing, I have normal hearing, but my hearing aids play constant noise (Brownian “Brown” Noise) that helps retrain my brain to not hear the ringing. I’ve had my hearing aids for almost 1.5 years now and things are much better. These hearing aids are such a blessing and necessity for my life and I’m taking these hearing aids with me to my grave. In case anyone may be wondering about any other health history correlation for themselves. I’m autistic, have ADD, an anxiety disorder (which is helped by my hearing aids), and sensory issues/SPD (also helped by hearing aids).
We thought he was being unreasonable as 2 other ENT specialists and a neurosurgeon wanted to perform the dangerous surgery for whatever reason but after much debate they all decided she was ultimately too young and the risk too high, now we wait and see whether this hearing aid helps or not
I'm sorry to ask but what exactly has she been going through? In the case of the video, the heartbeat sound was PTSD. I'm just a little confused and not trying to be mean.
2:33 -- I'm half expecting the doctor to look in the ear to check for damage, then get a surprised look on this face: "Hey! This guy's heart really IS in his head! I can see it in here!"
I have super ventricular tachycardia, so many doctors appointments they didn’t catch it until it I had a tachycardic episode in dead sleep. Granted you can’t actually SEE or predict tachycardia and I wasn’t good at explaining my symptoms. I was pretty sure I knew what it was after hearing Miley Cyrus of all people talk about her tachycardia in one of those teeny bopper magazines( I was a lil old for them but I still read them at the time) But when the doc diagnosed me and got me on meds it was such a relief it’s like “no I’m not med shopping, I’m actually suffering”
They actually have to watch you have the seizure to know what is going on. They will even induce a seizure with rapidly blinking lights in patients with suspected epilepsy lol. Everyone is such a professional victim in these medical comments 🙄
@matthew92604 I agree. So many of these commenters just have a score to settle since doctors weren’t able to diagnose them. Doctors are human, they make mistakes too… shouldn’t hold it against them.
I was saying this in the beginning, to do a chest and head scan. They finally decided to do it. Lesson learned: Actually LISTEN TO THE PATIENT AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FIND THE ISSUE!
I once had a panic attack and for three days straight, I could hear my heart beat. Just a constant awareness that would never go away. I couldn’t sleep. It was a psychological thing and not physical but man I understood what this guy was going through. It’s just so discomforting, so never ending.
Until you said this I'd blocked this out of my memory because it happened to me as well. I could feel every heartbeat for days on end, the feeling of the muscles in my wrists tension increasing and decreasing, creepiest thing ever
I started having panicked attacks 3 years ago and they lasted for like a month,the fear the anxiety,depression, ear ringing made me very aware of my surroundings and myself it was a very bizarre constant feeling 24/7. It was a nightmare for the very 1st year and 2nd year I started living more with that fear knowing it's just an anxiety fight or flight mode that makes me so aware of everything but still scared of it and my brain not wanting to accept that was anxiety. By the third year bad anxiety is gone but irrational thought still there and the awareness but don't fear it as much as before since I know it's just there to save me that's why I'm so aware of everything cause my subconscious remembers those years of panic attacks and anxiety so it's always on the lookout for trouble I need to rewire my brain more and more and learn to relax more And more. Slowly but surely. But the brain is powerful. I am sure people like the patient realized that hearing his heartbeat is not gonna hurt him but is actually saving him, keeping him alive the Brian realized there was nothing to fear just like me hearing the tinnitus at night, I was a complete mess fearing that sound and not wanting to be alone hearing it at night so I would always had something muffing the sound but nothing worked since I was fearing it. Until I realized it just another sound and I started hearing this sound because I developed it after panic attacks it was just my brain trying to protect me amplifying sound to hear everything better, then I started getting used to more and more.❤
"I can hear my heart beat in my head" "we don't beleive you, you're insane" sees gelo "we were wrong" "Haaa told you, fix me" "we can't, think positif when you hear it...." that is the stupidest thing that could have come out of this....
I have a malformation on the left side of my brain, I know exactly what he means with the heartbeat thumping in your head. The actor playing the patient played this very well as you can probably imagine it does get very annoying hearing your heartbeat every day of your life for real sufferers
I can hear my heart beat in my head. It's nowhere near as drastic as this though. I do have medical issues that complicate life but I take it as a welcome sign that my heart is still pumping. It's annoying, downright painful when my blood pressure elevates, but I also have PTSD so it's really encouraging to see people with PTSD being listened to. Albeit very late sometimes, It's still nice to know you're being listened to.
i get the same emotional resonance from you as the man in this episode. i am so very happy people are listening to you now. get better and have a good day. ⛅️🌷🌱
I had to have an epi-pen injection once because of an antibiotic (had my father not been allergic to bees-and immediately recognized what it was-I had not been at their house I probably would not be alive). There for a few minutes, and the subsequent panic attack the whole thing it induced, I swear I could feel -and hear-my heart pounding in my ears for a few minutes. It was the most…unsettling and upsetting physical experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had several surgeries-one major one- and would rather wake up with a tube down my throat in pain than experience that again. I can absolutely imagine that having this happen all the time would drive a person quite literally insane. That being said, had someone given me the whole “your heart is their for you speech”…I might have thought about ripping theirs out for a moment.
I feel for him. Sometimes, because of certain health issues, I can hear my heart beating and it is the worst thing when you are trying to sleep. Just the constant noise in your ear, it’s like torture
Not really. I'm a bit jaded to gore and medical injuries. I've had to clean my grandfather's open chest from liver transplant. The doctors couldn't close it all the way because of inflammation. We had to take him home that way and wait two weeks before the swelling went down and he could be closed up completely.
I had my first anxiety attack about 8 months after my deployment...I had no idea what was wrong but I was losing it, and feeling claustrophobic and a severe fear of being out in the open, it was terrifying. Many years later and I've had to increase my meds then switch them, my triggers started getting worse and I was re-diagnosed (kinda, it's hard to explain) with C-PTSD and I'm going through intense counseling as a vet AND as a female Army Combat Veteran. It's a nightmare, a prison without physical walls, but MY VA has definitely been a source of outstanding care when I needed it the most...It broke my soul when I found out that my experience was not the norm. I've had run ins especially when I was homeless with a disabled son, whom I gave birth to while in the Army, the social worker was an absolute asshole and they had to get her away from me. I appreciate the overall care for Veterans, but as a woman, myyyyy GOD it's been HARD....NO REGRETS, I just bless God that I still have a passion for being a mother, comedian and prayerfully soon, an author, I may have lost everything else about me, but I'm so very grateful for what remains🫶🏾
I got a skull fracture over a year ago. Also fractured a small bone in my ear in the impact. There is now a little piece of titanium in my head to replace that small bone. At some point in the whole process, I remember that I could hear my heart beating for a short time. That pulse is gone now, but has been replaced with tinnitus (ringing) due to the hearing loss I sustained from the whole thing, and was never completely fixed by the operation. It is only in one ear, but it is a near-constant ringing nonetheless. it’s probably actually constant, but my ADHD lets me ignore it half the time. I have read that the ringing from tinnitus has driven some people to madness and/or suicide. Extremely unlikely to happen with me, but I would imagine that the man in this video’s PTSD probably had an additionally detrimental effect on his mental health.
I know this is intended to be like, heartwarming or w/e but its just frustrating to me? Like *Patient:* please help im experiencing [symptom] and im terrified. *Doctors:* _you aren't._ *Patient:* but yes i am? please [symptom] is really bothering me please help *Doctors:* _but like.... no you aren't lol_ *Patient:* PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY AM, I AM, IM EXPERIENCING [symptom] VERY BADLY *Doctors:* _no, nono, no. you arent, actually you are just crazy._ *Patient:* PLEASE [symptom] IS RUINING MY LIFE PLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY *Doctors:* _no? lol_ •[Patient takes drastic measures in attempt to have his issue taken seriously]• *Doctors:* _UGH FINE, fine, we'll check_ *Patient:* ...? *Doctors:* _okay so wow omg it looks like you're actually experiencing [symptom you said like a million times that you were experiencing] isnt that a wacky and zany surprise? What a twist! Anyway we can do nothing to fix it._ *Patient, breaking down in tears:* thank you doctors omg, thank you THANK YOU thank you, oh thank you doctors, oh thank you, thank you, oh, OH THANK YOU! THANK YOU, thank you for taking me seriously! Thank you, BEST DOCTORS EVER! THANK YOU! thank you doctors, thank you, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND BEING SO KIND!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I can so relate to this guy. About 2 years ago I developed severe pulsatile tinnitus. I will never forget waking up at 2am on a Monday to my heartbeat loudly pounding in my head. Good news was MRI ruled out an aneurysm, bad news was it was constantly pounding and looked like something I'd have to just live with. I had trouble sleeping, working.... Like the patient there were days it was driving me crazy. Then there were a couple times it just literally stopped - went silent for a few seconds. The first time that happened I was like oh crap did my heart stop? Am I dying? About 8 months later the intensity greatly diminished. Eventually the condition went away - thank goodness. Don't know why it started, or why it stopped. I will say though that even though I was learning to live with it, I could still feel it chipping away at my sanity.
I actually cried with this one. This medical show is not that scary which is good. House is like that. I'm sure it appeals to a lot of viewers but not me. This show is softer and makes me actually feel sympathy. Not just fear.
This kind of thing really will destroy a person mentally. Imagine 24/7/365 "boom, boom, boom, boom...." loud and all the time. I remember a story about a wealthy restraunteur who committed suicide after contracting covid and recovering because he had chronic tinnitus as a side effect. It drove him mad and he couldn't live like that anymore. There wasn't anything the doctors were able to do to help the problem.
I hear my heartbeat in my ear too. For me it’s Pulsatile Tinnitus, it comes and goes. Im glad it’s not constant. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times it’s actually kinda soothing.
I have an anxiety disorder and when I get really anxious I can hear and feel my heartbeat in my head. He said this started for him 6 months ago. I'd be acting the same way. It's a very unnerving sensation
Sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus is absolutely awful. I've had it since 11/21/21 and I was getting to a point like him. People don't realize how panicky hearing something NONSTOP is. Mines a high frequency constant pitch. I get pulsatile tinnitus of hearing my heart beating in my ears when I go shooting and wear putty earplugs and I bend down to pick up bullets, I couldn't deal with it 24/7. My heart goes out to everyone with tinnirus
Can we all for a moment remember what these guys go through. These men, who risk their lives defending their country, go through so much that no civi can imagine unless they have served. They deserve better from all of us, especially in the western world. Now before some want rants about this let me just say I know we salute the men and women of all the armed forces. What I am saying is that it is the system that must salute these people and not throw them onto the trash heap once they are done with them.
The same thing happened to 9/11 responders are still fighting for their benefits, while some politicians use them as ways to boost their image while dragging their heels on helping them.
I developed tinnitus on my left side a couple months ago. I don’t know if it’s permanent, and I have been managing, but it gets bad some days. Imagining having it as loud as this guys’ and connected to my heartbeat is chilling.
I have a condition called Atrial Fibrillation as a result of post childbirth sepsis. Due to the meds I take, it makes the heart beat harder but slower. I can feel and hear my heartbeat in a very similar fashion. I sympathize with this poor guy. Out returned servicemen need to be treated like the heroes that they are. Sacrificing good health and the love of family and community to enlist to fight for our freedom, only to come home injured and permanently mentally scarred, only for the government they served to pretty much turn it's back on them until they go off the edge.
Using "shop talk" that the vet was accustomed to was a brilliant way of communicating on the patient's level. A metaphor that automatically brings to mind strength, perseverance, keeping the good fight. Brilliant writing, and acting here on all sides.
I deal with my heart beat in my ear, by back ground noises, chewing gum. I also at night try to put words to the melody, lol. I fall a sleep faster. It’s been with me so long that I have noticed it’s loudest when over tired. So rest keeps it in check. Anyway that is my take on the noise I hear 24/7 minus when I finally sleep. My fault I’m a night owl! Be safe, Be well.
I had endometriosis and on a couple of occasions the pain got so bad that I literally stabbed myself. Once with a fork and once with a box cutter. It seemed completely rational at the time.
Brilliant actors. Damn, they carried this episode. The vet-to-vet interaction is so good. 4:47 is my favourite, so much pain, so much understanding. All those small details… mwah.
My dad is going through something very similar to this, though with an extreme tinnitus that. won't. stop. And gets worse when he sleeps and it makes him nauseous and dizzy and vertigo that also doesn't stop. We're pretty sure at this point it's Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease as everything else has been ruled out (Meniere's, brain swelling, cancer). It's driving him to that same point of this patient. We just started a treatment of a general steroid which is one of the things recommended to start with, if this is the case. And further appointments set up for after the holidays.
“Will you see me now?” “I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.” Treating the man like he was crazy when he was in an obvious state of mental anguish and anxiety is really depressing.
What frustrates me is that it's a representation of how people (front staff) don't listen until the customer/client/patient gets unruly and ridiculous in their language or request
It's true - the fact that he was right and they almost didnt do anything for him and furthermore saw him as crazy when he had a rational response to an issue any one of us could have...
Im personally the type to calm down with some repetitive sounds in the background, like a clock ticking and heartbeats. Ever since I was a kid, I always calmed down while listening to my parents' heartbeats, even my older brother's. So, whenever i start hearing my own, i actually feel relaxed and calm.
I had the same problem. I could hear my heartbeat in my head and would feel like my body was floating and swaying like an ocean wave when I would lay down or sit down. In my case, it was all in my head.
This might sound a little weird but if the doctors tried to get me to think of the pounding as a "Comforting" sign that my heart was keeping me alive I probably would of been pretty angry cause while yes I am fanciful for my heart for keeping me alive that doesn't give up the fact that i will have to listen to that loud annoying pounding for the rest of my life Im fanciful for my heart but that doesn't mean I want to hear it's loud pounding inside my eardrums perverting me from sleeping or concentrating or... staying sane them say you should be grateful that an organ is keeping me alive while it's making my life miserable wouldn't make me feel better at all in fact I think it would make me feel worse but idk that's just me.
Yeah, if I was in such desperation over how badly my heartbeat made me feel, that I STABBED MY EARDRUM to try and make it stop? Being told "Just think differently about it" after being told it was unfixable...I would not be taking that advice too well.
The monitor at 7:07 makes me laugh at the inconsistencies to reality on medical dramas. The screen is showing a transesophageal echo (produced from a probe down the throat). Note that the heart is flipped vertically on the screen and TEE is written in the top right corner. The doctor is clearly doing a transthoracic echo (TTE) from outside the body! lol
I don't normally hear my heart in my head, but if I put on ear plugs (like to sleep through husband's snoring), the sound of the blood rushing to the beat of my heart was too loud and uncomfortable. I don't know if it's like that for everyone else, but I couldn't stand to hear the blood rushing through my head.
I saw a cardiologist a couple of years back because I thaught I had Tachycardia where my hearts was beating to fast. After exams turns out my heart was normal. And he said that I was in the 20% of people who could hear and feel their heart beat and that it is very normal. But waiting to get an appointement to see again the cardialogist because my doctor diagnose me with Heart Murmur last year.
Just so you don't get the terminology mixed up when talking to the cardiologist... "Bradycardia" is when your heart is beating SLOW. "Tachycardia" is the word for when your heart is beating faster than normal. I'm glad you're okay!
@@swedishshortsnout5610 I always get mixed up between the two. I corrected my comments. But since having Hypothyroidism I can feel my heart beating slower.
My God. He'd rather stab a pencil in his ear than go through his head pain? Omg that's insane. And wtf lol their solution was to just think about it differently....
I've heard my heart beat before and it's on and off. It's awful, I've never heard it for hours and hours, but it's not nice even for a couple minutes. I had this from extreme migraines btw.
I have very bad anxiety I can feel my eyes rattling like a tail of a rattle snake and I can also hear my heart beating through my head and it beats so fast and so loud it’s like a drum set and I’ve been diagnosed with it for the past 5 years
I'd seen this clip already a while ago, but recently I've gone through some acute anxiety and began associating the sensations and sounds of my heart in a nagative way, the constant palpitations and feeling like it wasn't beating properly really freaked me out and it wasn't until I was given Propranolol AND went through some tough mental adjustments to that I learned to subdue some of that medical paranoia, try and remind myself that my heart is beating normally, that its working hard to keep me alive ❤
"Just because I'm a vet does not mean I'm a mentalcase!"
Dr. Charles (in the most nonchalant way possible): "Well you did walk in here and stab yourself in the head"

Pft-
To be fair …. Lmao
Sounds like sarcasm that Dr. House would have used.
I miss House.
Oh gee biscuits. I thought a vet as in a veterinarian. Must be because I’m not American...
For goodness sake! I hear my heart in my head with extreme migraines this is a real symptom and should never have been dismissed so negligently.
Yep.
As someone who has heard my heartbeat off and on since I hit puberty, I feel bad for him. But I also have a heart thing and migraines, so that's probably not the worst thing that happens to me.

🤦
lol
Me: English is fun they said it will help you to get work they said
English: ...
Ditto
It took me 5 years went from A2 in English to a C2 😂
What these vets have to go through is heart wrenching.
I've been having nightmares come to find out its one side effect of blood pressure meds. I wonder how many vets are suffering with the same issue and get told they are crazy.
Heh heart

He is already panicking still you don't listen to him you still wait for him to destroy things
U know y it is like tht?
Its coz of the system..
The number of stamdard organisations who controls and emphasises the do's and don'ts inside a hospitals. Bcoz of whom hospitals nowadays should value more abt their methods and policies than patients needs.
Its pity but true...
Why should he be able to cut everyone else in like for something non life threatening? People are there with heart attacks, strokes etc. hearing your own heartbeat isn’t exactly urgent
So, every time someone comes in panicked over anything we should take them back immediately? Wow, we'd never get to anyone with a life threatening emergency. People really need to stop telling us how to do our job, admin all the way down to people who think they need to be seen 'right now' for a stubbed toe.
It's not about the person who is sick that entering the hospital.or clinic with doctors it about the people he will hurt by his action, throwing things from that premises
@@butterflyhigh5237 so again, if the person is panicking for any reason we should take them back immediately regardless? Absolutely not! We don't have the beds and the staff for that! You get triaged, given a priority according to your complaint and we see you as quickly and safely as possible. You don't like it change the healthcare system. We do our best with what we're given.
the patient’s actor is VERY good!
He do resonate with people who know whats wrong with their body but can't explain it to other or the people around them just dismissed him and turn him down when they need help most.
For folks who don’t know, if you have this problem especially at night or very quiet times, you could have a thinning or hole in the bone in your inner ear called superior canal dehiscence syndrome… it’s thinning or hole forming causes sound to not go thru the ear, but thru the hole, getting to your brain receptors in another form. Basically you can hear things twice, a ‘reverberation’ or echo of your own voice, hearing your pulse and possibly the sound of your eyes moving.
It’s rare, I had it.
I had a patient with the hole. He said it took decades for them to find it. He was put in institutions and medicated but nothing helped. After finding it they told him the only thing to fix it was surgery and it was high risk and not recommended.
I remember that one from Grey's Anatomy. I'm glad someone was able to diagnose you instead of just say that it was all in your head. They like to do that.
My mother had an acoustic neuroma. I wish somebody had told one of us that those things can recur. We didn't know...
So... This isn't a normal thing to have? How loud does it have to be to indicate something like that? I can only hear it faintly, and it doesn't really bother me, so is it still indicative of something like that?
Or a migraine with your blood vessels
IT’S NOT NORMAL TO HEAR ALL THAT?!?!?!
Usually if a patient is that distressed and panicked with symptoms like that it's treated as an emergency and he'd get in fairly fast. Could be a sign of a cardiac emergency or a severe head/brain injury.

If a person is screaming at the top of his lungs, looking very distressed and that he needs help immediately, he needs to be sent to see a doctor/nurse immediately. Because something could be seriously wrong with him.
In theory sure, in reality they can't encourage that behaviour. If people knew all they needed to do to get immediate attention is cause a fuss everyone would do it, I don't think I need to explain why that's an issue.
Also acting threatening towards people trying to do their jobs isn't okay.
There's no real solution. Plenty of those people waiting could have had something seriously wrong with them, not really fair to assume someone should get priority if they look more or less physically fine just because they're yelling.
@@coffeekat5066 Simple, if they're admitted to a nurse and the tests find no issues, they will be fined, or even arrested for a period of time, if there is an issue, their distress is valid
Omg no way, you’ll have hundreds of ppl getting irate just to he seen sooner
@@ron3557 not if hundreds of ppl start trying this method.
@@ron3557 Because issues are never missed in an overworked ER.
What do you do in the event of a panic attack? My heart rate was at 160 for hours, absolutely no electrical or structural issues. If I'd done what you suggest I could have taken a bed from someone suffering a heart attack.
What about patients who are in severe distress but physically can't make a fuss because of COPD? What about someone who does kick up a fuss and the doctor gets annoyed and declares nothing wrong solely so they get fined?
There was nothing immediately dangerous about this guy's condition that he couldn't have waited an hour or two for the triage nurse to get to him, and he took a lot of time and resources away from people who needed it. Basing triage on who's the loudest is about the stupidest way to do it imaginable.
My sister has been going through this for months on end ,after lots of testing the ENT decided that she needs surgery but it's life threatening and for her age he is not willing to risk it,she was given a hearing aid to help her
I had a similar problem. I’ve had tinnitus for 22 years; since I was 10/11. My tinnitus had gotten so bad that I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour because of the constant deafening ringing. I couldn’t hear myself think. It’s a very scary feeling to be so tortured by horrific sound that you can’t sleep, can’t function, can’t anything. You become an immobilized jailed passenger in your own body. I went to the ENT who sent me to the audiologist who gave me hearing aids. I don’t need hearing aids for loss/lack of hearing, I have normal hearing, but my hearing aids play constant noise (Brownian “Brown” Noise) that helps retrain my brain to not hear the ringing. I’ve had my hearing aids for almost 1.5 years now and things are much better. These hearing aids are such a blessing and necessity for my life and I’m taking these hearing aids with me to my grave.
In case anyone may be wondering about any other health history correlation for themselves. I’m autistic, have ADD, an anxiety disorder (which is helped by my hearing aids), and sensory issues/SPD (also helped by hearing aids).
so they won't help because it will lower their stats ? that's just great....
We thought he was being unreasonable as 2 other ENT specialists and a neurosurgeon wanted to perform the dangerous surgery for whatever reason but after much debate they all decided she was ultimately too young and the risk too high, now we wait and see whether this hearing aid helps or not
@@kevinwaag9976 less about their stats and more about not killing the patient...
I'm sorry to ask but what exactly has she been going through? In the case of the video, the heartbeat sound was PTSD. I'm just a little confused and not trying to be mean.
His reaction to the VA is spot on
the actor patient is actually great, i almost teared up at how sad it is to watch him go insane
@@amogusamogos ah ah why kwan ??
@@amogusamogos the better actors are the patients in these types of shows

Yes the VA,will fix it by giving him antidepressants drugs are their only way to fix all out problems. Navy vet
2:33 -- I'm half expecting the doctor to look in the ear to check for damage, then get a surprised look on this face: "Hey! This guy's heart really IS in his head! I can see it in here!"
All we need now is a laugh track
That was such a great way to think of his heart that way. That poor man, I can’t imagine the things he’s been through and at probably such a young age
A physician watched me have a seizure... After 2 hours of me telling him it would happen. My mom caught it occurring. I have sickle cell disease.
I have super ventricular tachycardia, so many doctors appointments they didn’t catch it until it I had a tachycardic episode in dead sleep. Granted you can’t actually SEE or predict tachycardia and I wasn’t good at explaining my symptoms. I was pretty sure I knew what it was after hearing Miley Cyrus of all people talk about her tachycardia in one of those teeny bopper magazines( I was a lil old for them but I still read them at the time)
But when the doc diagnosed me and got me on meds it was such a relief it’s like “no I’m not med shopping, I’m actually suffering”
They actually have to watch you have the seizure to know what is going on. They will even induce a seizure with rapidly blinking lights in patients with suspected epilepsy lol. Everyone is such a professional victim in these medical comments 🙄
@matthew92604 I agree. So many of these commenters just have a score to settle since doctors weren’t able to diagnose them. Doctors are human, they make mistakes too… shouldn’t hold it against them.
I teared up when he showed him his heart and said how much it was fighting to keep him alive. Damn
The actor who played this poor man he should get an Emmy
I was saying this in the beginning, to do a chest and head scan. They finally decided to do it. Lesson learned: Actually LISTEN TO THE PATIENT AND DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FIND THE ISSUE!
His acting made me hold my breathe. That was overwhelming.
"where is your heart? behind your chest, behind your bra???" 😂 I found that funny.
I once had a panic attack and for three days straight, I could hear my heart beat. Just a constant awareness that would never go away. I couldn’t sleep. It was a psychological thing and not physical but man I understood what this guy was going through. It’s just so discomforting, so never ending.
Until you said this I'd blocked this out of my memory because it happened to me as well. I could feel every heartbeat for days on end, the feeling of the muscles in my wrists tension increasing and decreasing, creepiest thing ever
I started having panicked attacks 3 years ago and they lasted for like a month,the fear the anxiety,depression,
ear ringing made me very aware of my surroundings and myself it was a very bizarre constant feeling 24/7. It was a nightmare for the very 1st year and 2nd year I started living more with that fear knowing it's just an anxiety fight or flight mode that makes me so aware of everything but still scared of it and my brain not wanting to accept that was anxiety. By the third year bad anxiety is gone but irrational thought still there and the awareness but don't fear it as much as before since I know it's just there to save me that's why I'm so aware of everything cause my subconscious remembers those years of panic attacks and anxiety so it's always on the lookout for trouble I need to rewire my brain more and more and learn to relax more
And more. Slowly but surely. But the brain is powerful. I am sure people like the patient realized that hearing his heartbeat is not gonna hurt him but is actually saving him, keeping him alive the Brian realized there was nothing to fear just like me hearing the tinnitus at night, I was a complete mess fearing that sound and not wanting to be alone hearing it at night so I would always had something muffing the sound but nothing worked since I was fearing it. Until I realized it just another sound and I started hearing this sound because I developed it after panic attacks it was just my brain trying to protect me amplifying sound to hear everything better, then I started getting used to more and more.❤
As someone with sensory issues... I can’t even imagine
Literally what I was thinking, I almost teared up cause I could just feel his frustration.
Your sensory issues are caused by tiktok
@@midnight_x_edits nah it’s cause I’m autistic. Diagnosed and everything.
I've had moments when I could feel my heartbeat in my head. Since elementary school. Really pumping away.
"I can hear my heart beat in my head"
"we don't beleive you, you're insane"
sees gelo
"we were wrong"
"Haaa told you, fix me"
"we can't, think positif when you hear it...."
that is the stupidest thing that could have come out of this....
I have a malformation on the left side of my brain, I know exactly what he means with the heartbeat thumping in your head. The actor playing the patient played this very well as you can probably imagine it does get very annoying hearing your heartbeat every day of your life for real sufferers
I can hear my heart beat in my head. It's nowhere near as drastic as this though. I do have medical issues that complicate life but I take it as a welcome sign that my heart is still pumping. It's annoying, downright painful when my blood pressure elevates, but I also have PTSD so it's really encouraging to see people with PTSD being listened to. Albeit very late sometimes, It's still nice to know you're being listened to.
i get the same emotional resonance from you as the man in this episode. i am so very happy people are listening to you now. get better and have a good day. ⛅️🌷🌱
He is such a phenomenal actor!!
the heart goin "im here, im here, im workin brother"
I had to have an epi-pen injection once because of an antibiotic (had my father not been allergic to bees-and immediately recognized what it was-I had not been at their house I probably would not be alive). There for a few minutes, and the subsequent panic attack the whole thing it induced, I swear I could feel -and hear-my heart pounding in my ears for a few minutes. It was the most…unsettling and upsetting physical experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had several surgeries-one major one- and would rather wake up with a tube down my throat in pain than experience that again. I can absolutely imagine that having this happen all the time would drive a person quite literally insane. That being said, had someone given me the whole “your heart is their for you speech”…I might have thought about ripping theirs out for a moment.
Nice pun
Imagine finally hearing you're not crazy and you actually have a problem, but it's not fixable...
I feel for him. Sometimes, because of certain health issues, I can hear my heart beating and it is the worst thing when you are trying to sleep. Just the constant noise in your ear, it’s like torture
I have always been able to feel/hear my heart. I didn't know this was weird!
Choi makes sure every patient is calm and knows they are safe god bless him for becoming a dad and bless him if he decides to be a realdoctor
Did anyone else stomach turn hearing and watching that pencil slowly enter his ear
yes!!
This comment helped me. I thought it would be so much worse. So, I was fine, thanks to your comment that I read before watching! 😊
Not really. I'm a bit jaded to gore and medical injuries. I've had to clean my grandfather's open chest from liver transplant. The doctors couldn't close it all the way because of inflammation. We had to take him home that way and wait two weeks before the swelling went down and he could be closed up completely.
Ear cleaning ASMR
Yes
I had my first anxiety attack about 8 months after my deployment...I had no idea what was wrong but I was losing it, and feeling claustrophobic and a severe fear of being out in the open, it was terrifying. Many years later and I've had to increase my meds then switch them, my triggers started getting worse and I was re-diagnosed (kinda, it's hard to explain) with C-PTSD and I'm going through intense counseling as a vet AND as a female Army Combat Veteran. It's a nightmare, a prison without physical walls, but MY VA has definitely been a source of outstanding care when I needed it the most...It broke my soul when I found out that my experience was not the norm. I've had run ins especially when I was homeless with a disabled son, whom I gave birth to while in the Army, the social worker was an absolute asshole and they had to get her away from me. I appreciate the overall care for Veterans, but as a woman, myyyyy GOD it's been HARD....NO REGRETS, I just bless God that I still have a passion for being a mother, comedian and prayerfully soon, an author, I may have lost everything else about me, but I'm so very grateful for what remains🫶🏾
Bless ❤
@@truenokill 🥰
Best luck👍
The way they handled that was perfect. This guy was clearly no okay from being a vet but they really knew how to handle it
Certain antianxiety drugs can cause you to hear your heartbeat. Rather ironic as the sound can increase your anxiety!
I got a skull fracture over a year ago. Also fractured a small bone in my ear in the impact. There is now a little piece of titanium in my head to replace that small bone.
At some point in the whole process, I remember that I could hear my heart beating for a short time. That pulse is gone now, but has been replaced with tinnitus (ringing) due to the hearing loss I sustained from the whole thing, and was never completely fixed by the operation.
It is only in one ear, but it is a near-constant ringing nonetheless. it’s probably actually constant, but my ADHD lets me ignore it half the time. I have read that the ringing from tinnitus has driven some people to madness and/or suicide. Extremely unlikely to happen with me, but I would imagine that the man in this video’s PTSD probably had an additionally detrimental effect on his mental health.
I know this is intended to be like, heartwarming or w/e but its just frustrating to me? Like
*Patient:* please help im experiencing [symptom] and im terrified.
*Doctors:* _you aren't._
*Patient:* but yes i am? please [symptom] is really bothering me please help

Thank you, BEST DOCTORS EVER! THANK YOU! thank you doctors, thank you, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND BEING SO KIND!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I can so relate to this guy. About 2 years ago I developed severe pulsatile tinnitus. I will never forget waking up at 2am on a Monday to my heartbeat loudly pounding in my head. Good news was MRI ruled out an aneurysm, bad news was it was constantly pounding and looked like something I'd have to just live with. I had trouble sleeping, working.... Like the patient there were days it was driving me crazy. Then there were a couple times it just literally stopped - went silent for a few seconds. The first time that happened I was like oh crap did my heart stop? Am I dying? About 8 months later the intensity greatly diminished. Eventually the condition went away - thank goodness. Don't know why it started, or why it stopped.
I will say though that even though I was learning to live with it, I could still feel it chipping away at my sanity.
Sorry to hear that man so glad ur better now 🙏🙏🙏
The sad look on his face when someone finally believed him made me so sad 😭😭
I actually cried with this one. This medical show is not that scary which is good. House is like that. I'm sure it appeals to a lot of viewers but not me. This show is softer and makes me actually feel sympathy. Not just fear.
If you tell a doctor that you have a certain condition they will investigate everything BUT the condition you claim to have.
This kind of thing really will destroy a person mentally. Imagine 24/7/365 "boom, boom, boom, boom...." loud and all the time. I remember a story about a wealthy restraunteur who committed suicide after contracting covid and recovering because he had chronic tinnitus as a side effect. It drove him mad and he couldn't live like that anymore. There wasn't anything the doctors were able to do to help the problem.
He had constant ringing not pulsing ! he was the owner of Texas road house
“Just because I am a vet does not mean I am a mental case!”
“Wel u did stab youreelf in the head”
I love this
I hear my heartbeat in my ear too. For me it’s Pulsatile Tinnitus, it comes and goes. Im glad it’s not constant. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times it’s actually kinda soothing.
1:54 That is the best response for this
I'm wondering if he could have gotten medical attention faster by calling emergency 911 from his home or somewhere.
I know how he feels… I got so upset once I told them let me go get hit by car and then come back. Sometimes you have to yell. Pain does crazy things.
I have an anxiety disorder and when I get really anxious I can hear and feel my heartbeat in my head. He said this started for him 6 months ago. I'd be acting the same way. It's a very unnerving sensation
I can hear my heartbeat. I thought this was normal.
Sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus is absolutely awful. I've had it since 11/21/21 and I was getting to a point like him. People don't realize how panicky hearing something NONSTOP is. Mines a high frequency constant pitch. I get pulsatile tinnitus of hearing my heart beating in my ears when I go shooting and wear putty earplugs and I bend down to pick up bullets, I couldn't deal with it 24/7. My heart goes out to everyone with tinnirus
Can we all for a moment remember what these guys go through. These men, who risk their lives defending their country, go through so much that no civi can imagine unless they have served. They deserve better from all of us, especially in the western world. Now before some want rants about this let me just say I know we salute the men and women of all the armed forces. What I am saying is that it is the system that must salute these people and not throw them onto the trash heap once they are done with them.
The same thing happened to 9/11 responders are still fighting for their benefits, while some politicians use them as ways to boost their image while dragging their heels on helping them.
Going to other countries, killing innocent people and getting money for it is not defending the country.
its not just men
This just too sweet! *"Brother in arms!"*
A doctor's job is to heal not just the physical but also the psychological. And that's what those two doctors did for this veteran.
My heart does the same thing, it makes my entire body move, except i dont hear it pounding.
There was a similar story line on Greys Anatomy and Demi Lovato was the actress! Can’t imagine what this is like if 2 medical shows covered it.
Which episode?

I developed tinnitus on my left side a couple months ago. I don’t know if it’s permanent, and I have been managing, but it gets bad some days. Imagining having it as loud as this guys’ and connected to my heartbeat is chilling.
How’d u get it?
The meta critique of the US health care system is spot on, I mean, how far you have to go to be finally taken seriously
As if the first thing they wouldn’t have done was a head CT and EKG when he said “my heart is beating in my head” 😂
I have a condition called Atrial Fibrillation as a result of post childbirth sepsis. Due to the meds I take, it makes the heart beat harder but slower. I can feel and hear my heartbeat in a very similar fashion. I sympathize with this poor guy. Out returned servicemen need to be treated like the heroes that they are. Sacrificing good health and the love of family and community to enlist to fight for our freedom, only to come home injured and permanently mentally scarred, only for the government they served to pretty much turn it's back on them until they go off the edge.
That was a terrible speech at the end. It's not a "brother in arms" it's an organ that is malfunctioning!
Using "shop talk" that the vet was accustomed to was a brilliant way of communicating on the patient's level. A metaphor that automatically brings to mind strength, perseverance, keeping the good fight. Brilliant writing, and acting here on all sides.
I deal with my heart beat in my ear, by back ground noises, chewing gum. I also at night try to put words to the melody, lol. I fall a sleep faster. It’s been with me so long that I have noticed it’s loudest when over tired. So rest keeps it in check. Anyway that is my take on the noise I hear 24/7 minus when I finally sleep. My fault I’m a night owl! Be safe, Be well.
What a lame resolution..even if he felt better about hearing it it would still slowly drive him nuts.
The comments here. I have this and this super rare condition.
A form of tinnitus. Get a CT scan. Recommend tinnitus retraining therapy.
I had endometriosis and on a couple of occasions the pain got so bad that I literally stabbed myself. Once with a fork and once with a box cutter.
It seemed completely rational at the time.
Brilliant actors. Damn, they carried this episode. The vet-to-vet interaction is so good. 4:47 is my favourite, so much pain, so much understanding. All those small details… mwah.
My dad is going through something very similar to this, though with an extreme tinnitus that. won't. stop. And gets worse when he sleeps and it makes him nauseous and dizzy and vertigo that also doesn't stop. We're pretty sure at this point it's Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease as everything else has been ruled out (Meniere's, brain swelling, cancer). It's driving him to that same point of this patient.
We just started a treatment of a general steroid which is one of the things recommended to start with, if this is the case. And further appointments set up for after the holidays.
“Will you see me now?”
“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
Treating the man like he was crazy when he was in an obvious state of mental anguish and anxiety is really depressing.
That's why I like doctor Choi
What frustrates me is that it's a representation of how people (front staff) don't listen until the customer/client/patient gets unruly and ridiculous in their language or request
It's true - the fact that he was right and they almost didnt do anything for him and furthermore saw him as crazy when he had a rational response to an issue any one of us could have...
Maybe he's having a panic attack.
Im personally the type to calm down with some repetitive sounds in the background, like a clock ticking and heartbeats.
Ever since I was a kid, I always calmed down while listening to my parents' heartbeats, even my older brother's. So, whenever i start hearing my own, i actually feel relaxed and calm.
Knowing that I used to hear my heart beat, I feel this man's pain.
Yes I know it's a show, but hearing your heart beat can be very annoying.
I had the same problem. I could hear my heartbeat in my head and would feel like my body was floating and swaying like an ocean wave when I would lay down or sit down. In my case, it was all in my head.
This might sound a little weird but if the doctors tried to get me to think of the pounding as a "Comforting" sign that my heart was keeping me alive I probably would of been pretty angry cause while yes I am fanciful for my heart for keeping me alive that doesn't give up the fact that i will have to listen to that loud annoying pounding for the rest of my life Im fanciful for my heart but that doesn't mean I want to hear it's loud pounding inside my eardrums perverting me from sleeping or concentrating or... staying sane them say you should be grateful that an organ is keeping me alive while it's making my life miserable wouldn't make me feel better at all in fact I think it would make me feel worse but idk that's just me.
Yeah, if I was in such desperation over how badly my heartbeat made me feel, that I STABBED MY EARDRUM to try and make it stop? Being told "Just think differently about it" after being told it was unfixable...I would not be taking that advice too well.
The monitor at 7:07 makes me laugh at the inconsistencies to reality on medical dramas.
The screen is showing a transesophageal echo (produced from a probe down the throat). Note that the heart is flipped vertically on the screen and TEE is written in the top right corner.
The doctor is clearly doing a transthoracic echo (TTE) from outside the body! lol
I would love if they said: ‘so what are you gonna do?’ and then the doctor responds with ‘or we remove your heart… or we remove your head…’
Is this not normal? I literally always hear my heartbeat when I'm lying down
I have heard my heartbeat in my head before but it was when I was doing cardio.
I don't normally hear my heart in my head, but if I put on ear plugs (like to sleep through husband's snoring), the sound of the blood rushing to the beat of my heart was too loud and uncomfortable. I don't know if it's like that for everyone else, but I couldn't stand to hear the blood rushing through my head.
I start feeling funny watching medical shows I can’t do it
the acting tho🔥🔥
I saw a cardiologist a couple of years back because I thaught I had Tachycardia where my hearts was beating to fast. After exams turns out my heart was normal. And he said that I was in the 20% of people who could hear and feel their heart beat and that it is very normal. But waiting to get an appointement to see again the cardialogist because my doctor diagnose me with Heart Murmur last year.
Just so you don't get the terminology mixed up when talking to the cardiologist... "Bradycardia" is when your heart is beating SLOW. "Tachycardia" is the word for when your heart is beating faster than normal. I'm glad you're okay!
@@swedishshortsnout5610 I always get mixed up between the two. I corrected my comments. But since having Hypothyroidism I can feel my heart beating slower.
I can feel and hear my heart beating too. Sometimes I can see it beating when I look at my chest, it’s weird.
My God. He'd rather stab a pencil in his ear than go through his head pain? Omg that's insane. And wtf lol their solution was to just think about it differently....
I've heard my heart beat before and it's on and off. It's awful, I've never heard it for hours and hours, but it's not nice even for a couple minutes. I had this from extreme migraines btw.
Am I not supposed to hear my heart??
i can hear mine,but it doesnt make me crazy,it's kinda calming.
EVERY TIME I'M I'M IN THE ER 0:53 I want to do like this guy... so much waiting 😢
I have very bad anxiety I can feel my eyes rattling like a tail of a rattle snake and I can also hear my heart beating through my head and it beats so fast and so loud it’s like a drum set and I’ve been diagnosed with it for the past 5 years
It took them hours before they used the damn stethoscope?
I wouldnt blame him if he walked in there with a gun.
I'd seen this clip already a while ago, but recently I've gone through some acute anxiety and began associating the sensations and sounds of my heart in a nagative way, the constant palpitations and feeling like it wasn't beating properly really freaked me out and it wasn't until I was given Propranolol AND went through some tough mental adjustments to that I learned to subdue some of that medical paranoia, try and remind myself that my heart is beating normally, that its working hard to keep me alive ❤
I'm very glad that my time in the defense force never took me to a battlefield. I salute you combat veterans.
I hear my heartbeat thumping in my ears and it really bothers me mine is due to a different reason
Wait so hearing your own heartbeat in your head or neck is not normal?
Doctor: Be thankful your hearts keeping you alive😃
Guy that literally stuck a pencil in his goddam eat cause the pounding was making him go insane: 😑
Too bad things like this never happen in real life, hospitals never go this far for their patients anymoew
Ever...not "any more". Ever!
