@@momatotsosrorudodi sounds like good advice and it usually is but.. that’s often all they tell you and ,you may go years without a proper diagnosis if you have a shit doctor that doesn’t do any tests.

being in med school, I am convinced the reason they’re so obsessed with us gathering a disturbingly thorough diet/exercise/social history is to delay the process of us unavoidably evolving into this exact doctor
@@jrg305 Not saying dieticians should/should not be paid more, but doctors spend many more years studying more technical topics, undergoing intense training for many more years all the while diagnosing and treating patients. They don’t just treat patients in terms of diet/lifestyle medicine, but also treat patients in every other aspect of their life (GP specifically), so your comparison is invalid
@@kickboxing3728 Most doctors know absolutely nothing about human metabolism and what constitutes a healthy diet. I asked my doctor once if there was any things I could do on my own to change my testosterone levels. He flat out said no, drugs only. It was legit just like this visit, minus all the zaniness. I wanted to dropkick him.
@@SnifferSock my case is that the sphincter in my stomach doesn't seem to close. I can't lay down without acid pouring out my mouth, so i sleep sat up. They have to take a camera both ways through the whole system to try find a problem. Its faster to do both at once apparently
I went to 30 doctors, did all types of exams, no one mentioned diet. Yet, the healing I was looking for since 2016 came through diet. Awesome video Andrew, had amazing laughs here!
Doctors don't often bring up diet or lifestyle choices because they can't really do much about that. They can tell you that your diet is an issue, but they can't actually make you change, it's not in their power, so they will focus on what is in their power.
My 4 favorite elements here: bedside manner= "frazzled barracuda" "blitzkrieg my immune system" "Imma silly goose" and "THAT'S LUNCH!!" 👌 I'm taking these with me for my next GI visit. They're thanking you in advance 🙏
I lost 65 lbs. Don't have eczema or asthma anymore. Heartburn gone. Never lifted 1 weight. All diet. Dr was blown away, looked at my blood work, said to keep doing what I have been.
Exercising is overrated honestly. Cutting out added sugar would help so many people it's insane, or even not drinking sodas or juice or coffee with 9 pumps of syrup will get you pretty far. Great work losing so much weight btw!
@MickMcStreaming yep. No sugar and only small amount of carbs from occasionally vegetables. I basically eat meat, eggs, fish. No dairy. 1 meal a day. And fast once a week for a day.
@@Dreoilin That is what I am seeking to do just trying to get my spouse on board sucks though. She feels like we need to eat at the same time but she is also a picky eater for the worst foods and drinks.
@@bahamute6198 4 months back I started healthy keto. Moved to intermittent fasting. Then one meal a day. Then went full carnivore 2 meals a day. Now I lift weights and work out.
They definitely advise diet and exercise in the militart healthcare system, but telling your patient to eat healthier doesn't matter if they don't do it. Medicine or surgery is given after they fail to work on their diet and exercise habits.
@@MrCmon113nope a lot of diseases are heavily influenced by diet having a good diet decreases your risk of cancer obesity arthritis various mental illnesses CVD and a bunch of others It also can decrease the amount of time you get sick and your chances of getting sick and how severe it is so no
If you had 15 years of a skin disease and after 1 month of eating clean, all goes away and your doc says: "Yeah, diet has nothing do to with it"... -_____-
Living on on the flip side of this, too many people pretty much refuse to change their diet and exercise. Their version of a good diet is only one gallon of Coke and one bag of Doritos per day. That said, diet/exercise counseling is critical for everything from hypertension to depression to sleep, and sometimes you gotta be persistent to get through to someone. I think some docs get frustrated and give up (Still thought this was funny)
@@MrCmon113 Sure, most diseases don't, but many of the most prevalent diseases do (diabetes, hypertension, COPD, ischemic heart disease, cirrhosis, certain cancers, joint pain from obesity, stroke). And yes, you shouldn't *need* a doctor to tell you that, but in practice a lot of times people live alone or with enabling families, and sometimes it takes a talk with a doctor or some concerning lab results to help a patient realize they have a problem
@@Alex-op4ty Yes, but there are also a shitload of patients who believe in holistic alternative medicine nonsense that tells them literally every condition can be treated by changing their diet in some small way. And in many cases that is just completely untrue.
My favorite is people who eat fast food at least once a day AND expect completely bogus shit like homeopathy to cure them. Thank god the placebo effect at least gives them sooooome benefit.
It’s pointless to discuss that shit. Every patient just says they diet and exercise but it’s genetics and blah blah. Americans don’t want healthy choices, they want a magic pill.
Big facts tho. Hopefully, the system rectifies itself in time and starts considering nutritional intervention as an initial treatment approach before introducing pharmaceutical options, depending on the pathology of course
Amen to this. Nutritional therapy has been well-established fact for a long time. It's especially recognized in veterinary, since people are better at controlling their pets' intake than their own. I do think the giveadamn and awareness of doctors has come a long way compared to what's characterized in this video, but I know I'm prone to be nitpicky in an optimistic direction, and of course these jerks still exist and I appreciate how hyperbolically funny the sketch is lol
We need to start with the junk food lobby. Go look up how the sugar lobby paid journalist to write about how sugar is healthy. My doctor hates my diet…I just don’t give a shit right now?
I had a very interesting interaction with an ER doctor off the clock. I work extremely long days when I work and chose to spend my only hour left in my schedule at the sauna where he and I went back and forth on tons of stuff relating to health. (I literally had 13 hour shifts then hit the gym for 3 hours to vent then 1 hour sauna and slept with an hour to eat when I wasnt snacking and driving) It was really cool and we both learned stuff. I asked about diet and he said he thinks diet would fix so much, just that he's not allowed to say it because of people being offended and that his employer looks down on it. It was really soothing to hear that not all doctors want to screw you over, but just can't do what they want because of bureaucratic red tape.
Yeah, that’s most docs. Hell, no one I actually provide resources on wants to do the hard things that make the biggest difference: portion control, limit processed food, NO extra sugar….have good sleep hygiene…..get 45 minutes of exercise daily….I’m kinda tired of saying it when it would keep 20-30% of medical visits from being needed.
A lot of excellent, caring people go into healthcare and then gradually become cold and calloused to the people they once were so passionate about serving. I'm convinced that if you stay in the terrible system for long enough, you will eventually become terrible. I'm going to be a nurse, but I believe this is the reality of our healthcare system. I would love to be a nurse my entire working life, but I know that's probably not sustainable for me. I really do think caregiving in this terrible system slowly eats away at your morality and your sanity. 🙃
@@JamesDecker7 Tbh most people need a bit more of a ... schedule than that. We hear that suggestion all the time too, it's just so generic it's annoying to hear at this point. Imo a feasible plan - and the understanding that changing the diet and all the rest takes YEARS - would make these suggestions easy to follow for at least some patients. And you want to hear another thing? I WANT to be capable of doing all of that - I struggle with applying it. I don't get good sleep most of the time because of past conditioning / ongoing issues and that screws all the rest. Being awake at night puts my body in "emergency mode" and keeping portion control becomes very difficult. Exercise is very hit/miss too. I used to walk in the summer but with autumn I got too gloomy to get out of the house.
Speaking as someone who nearly died over a few years time under medical supervision and then started getting better once I got away from all of that and focused on my diet - this is actually legitimate.
to be fair, a lot of doctors do the right thing and say "don't eat stupid bullshit and take a walk outside once a week" and people say "nah, that's work and doesn't fit my no shits given lifestyle, just gimme a pill for it", then doctors get tired of saying it and just skip to the drugs and surgery
I feel like almost every where I go for medical treatment I’m being constantly gaslighted by doctors about my medical history/ past diagnoses, for real lol
Anybody with arthritic aches and pains should look into anti-inflammatory foods and look to avoid foods that cause inflammation. Truly is life-changing!
It's almost like making the healthcare system a extremely lucrative business which would lead doctors to intentionally make their patients try extremely dangerous procedures that can lead them to waste years of their lives inside a hospital filling the pockets of the hospital in the process is a bad idea hahaha...
@Richdragon it has more to do with the cost of college (which is expensive because the government didn't think more than two steps ahead when they decided to give out loans), the people who would take any chance to sue a doctor leading to expensive malpractice insurance, and the idiots who lead health insurance to include routine maintenance (just think about it, your home and auto insurance likely only exists for accidents/special circumstances, you have to pay for the upkeep entirely out of pocket). Any one of these factors would drive up costs on their own, all together and it's no surprise things have ballooned out of control.
To be fair ,the main reasons for this common experience is two fold. 1: most doctors are not dietitian’s 2: most medical professionals have 0 faith in there patients , to actually take/stick to any non-pharmacology based methods, Manly because it’s a waste of time because most clients end up failing then blaming there doctors. Not worth the headache and loss of patents Me and some of my family are in the medical field and after my personal experience and looking at data on the subject It’s tempting to just go cookie cutter as well.
Too real mate 😂 For real though I'm thankful I have a private practice doctor who tells me to eat right and work out. He told me, "You're a young guy; you should be having a riot every day." I take it to heart.
I'm no physician, but I'm months away from being a pharmacist. I always feel so out of my depth when thinking about diet recommendations. On one hand, I'm told I shouldn't feel so bad about it, that's not my job, but on the other hand, I know some about it and feel like there's still room for me to help people if only I knew a bit more or did more research, BUT at the same time I have so much stuff to learn and continue trying to commit to memory already ahhhhhhhhhhh I just want to help peopleeeeeee
I had a kidney transplant and they put the kidney in and skipped the bladder check. I got super fucked up. Getting the kidney removed soon because it basically blew up. I am currently preparing my will before surgery. This shit is spot on to what you get in real life. Keep up the good work.
Suffered for years from psoriasis. Pills creams didn’t work and docs advice was to “stop washing my hands so much”. My own research led me to omega 3 and vitamin C through food was a lifesaver.
I've been dealing with chronic illness for a decade and usually the only thing offered is "eat better and exercise" even when my joints were falling apart and I started having tachycardia and I was eating appropriately and exercising 6 days a week. In my experience, doctors do less, not more, and if you have a chronic disease that can't easily be explained or blamed on your lifestyle, good fucking luck getting taken seriously.
Tbh even though all my issues were brushed off, diet or activity level wasn't brought up a single time. Apparently doctor even caught something going on with my white blood cells that was weird enough to make a comment to themselves. Only to try to deny it later, even though they'd also done it in front of my mom as well. (My mom used to go back with me due to a mix of anxiety and not feeling able to handle the situation adequately enough.) Nah they just passed me off to a therapist that had me doing the same stuff my overthinking self does all the time anyway. Not only am I in constant pain (a 4 is a good day), my joints don't work (lock, give out, or feel like there's a tense rubber band I'm fighting against), I get tiny tremors to where it feels like I'm purring (for lack of a better way to explain it), tired nearly all of the time, and get sick from basic things. Yeah you're definitely right they don't take chronic conditions or invisible illness/disability very seriously at all. I hav heard a lot of stories about people having their diet or weight blamed for everything just for it to be discovered that wasn't it at all. Even heard of people dying easily preventable deaths because of that. But even if they don't hit you with that, doesn't mean they're gonna take you seriously unfortunately. It's apparently literally everything else, and probably your fault according to them. Or 'just depression' or something, which again they'll make your fault somehow.
I have had a condition called Endometriosis since I had my first PMS cycle in 2012. Endometriosis is an endometrial disorder that affects the tissue inside of the uterus that gets shed during a PMS cycle. What the disorder does, is instead of forming the uterine lining within the uterus to be shed during PMS. That tissue will then form on the outside of the uterus instead, causing awful pain before, during, and after a period. This pain caused by the tissue growing where it is not supposed to be, will then cause what is nicknamed "chocolate cysts" that is scar tissue that will grow ontop of the disorder-caused tissue, stacking ontop of it in clumps to potentially spread and connect to vital organs(as in my case). I am now a transgender man and have taken Testosterone since the beginning of 2020, but even so, I am in 9-out-of-10 pain everyday, unable to move, with the US Healthcare system ffing me on all fronts possible. Docs always tell me "you're depressed and fat cuz you never exercise" even though just sitting up in bed or getting up to take care of myself causes massive flair ups that make me want to die. Certified gynecologists had no idea wtf my condition was when I was first suspected of it, and their only advice was "just take aspirin" even though every time I had a period, I would be unable to go to school for up to a week at a time. Eventually, as I was being subjected through constant treatments that were meant to help me but instead screwed with my pain and mental health throughout ages 12-18. My mom and me had to then plan with a Gyno I used to have for me to have a period only every 3 months with the help of 3 packets of birth control at a time since my extreme amounts of pain would get in the way of my studies. Obgyns didn't even want to put me on birth control to help with my pain just cuz "I wasn't old enough(13 yrs old)." The didn't even properly diagnosis it until 2018 when I had turned 18, since I was only suspected of having that or another called Pelvic Floor Syndrome. The only way to diagnose mine is through a laparoscopic surgery to find the scar tissue formed by years of pain. My Obgyn wanted to help remove my source of pain (the scar tissue), but couldn't since it had formed atop my lower organs including my bladder. I wasn't told by any specialists surgery was an option, only various experimental treatments that never paned out, including my Testosterone that I am currently still on. My mom had to discover that on my own. I have been through literally every treatment imaginable to treat my Endometriosis (stage 4 currently), and I am currently on Ibuprophen 800mgs, and Hydrocodone-10s. The 2nd of which, is a heavy duty opiod that usually the elderly use for intense pains that comes with aging. I'm only 21 currently and I feel like I am an old man in a young person's body. No one has ever taken my chronic pain condition seriously in the US, and I have constantly had to fight for my right for proper healthcare despite never getting it. The US Healthcare system is not made with me in mind, and even my pain meds come from a pain management soecialist who is currently breaking the rules just to give me proper care. My condition isn't even on the list of treatable conditions in the clinic they work at, and it's absolute bull. I have been trying to get ultrasounds for my surgeon specialist at UCR Health who will help cut the Endometriosis out of my body, but the front desk has been absolutely awful to me.. I have an expired referral I have been trying for the entirety of November just to renew my ultrasound referral given to me by my surgeon, but they either have ignored, or didn't care about me asking them before all 3 of my ultrasound appointments, requesting for a renewed ultrasound referral. Instead, they decided to fax the same expired referral over and over despite how patient and kind I've been over the phone with them. On my 4th appointment in a different place on the 17th of December, I had gone in, explained what had gone down for the past month with my moms help. Even though we called UCR Health in advance for the now 4th time, they promised me they would take care of it and send the referral to me by email after I had explained the whole situation. As of now, I have still not received the renewed referral. The ppl at the front desk of this place I was to get my ultrasounds done had tried everything to make my appointment work. They called the place twice in the last half hour they were open, both of which had my surgeon's front desk at UCR Health hang up on the poor worker just trying to call on my behalf. It took them feeling pity for me to do my ultrasounds after a month of wait, and even though they could get in trouble for allowing me one without a renewed referral, they still did, and I am very happy they did. I called my surgeon's front desk on the day the ultrasound nurse had told me they would receive my ultrasounds, and it had gone through to my surgeon with no issue.. Finally.. But now, I have to wait another couple of weeks for the holidays to pass for my appointment with my surgeon to finally be able to sit down with me and discuss getting ready for surgery, all cuz management couldn't do their jobs right so ppl like me don't have to suffer. I would go to an entirely different clinic to be treated, but there are so few surgeon specialists that can do this exact surgery around the world, that I am entirely dependent on this one.. Otherwise, I would have to take an airplane or boat to a different state, or even country, that can provide this medical service. This surgery has to be done, at minimum, every 4 years, as this disorder isn't cancer, but acts cancerous, as the scar tissue will regrow over time. To say the least, I want to leave this shitty country to live in one in Europe that'll treat me like a human being instead of a piggy bank no one cares about. I never want to have surgery done in the US after this awful experience trying to get one. I currently don't have a job, can't go to college, or have a driver's license due to how Endo has negatively affected my life since 2012.. My mental health has been struggling since then, when everyone including my friends, classmates, teachers, principals, doctors, and even an overall majority of my family viewed me as a worthless and selfish child for a poorly understood chronic condition I had 0 control of for the vast majority of my life. One of my treatments, an Estrogen shot called a Depo that lasts for 3 months in your blood, had also been given to me at 15. That treatment had a less than 1% chance of inducing major depression and suicidal thoughts in patients that me and my mom were not made aware about. That year was the most miserable one in my whole life, as there was 0 way to reverse it. Then I was made to be in an awful mental hospital for a plan I didn't even understand or know what it was, for a depression literally out of my control as they never made me feel safe during my days there. To this day, I still have awful PTSD from that place and moments of intense fear, anxiety, and anger tied to my awful memories of that place that I still work through with my psychologist even today. I no longer have PMS thanks to Testosterone, but I am still in constant pain with 0 help from the US' Healthcare system, as even what I'm on currently to fight the pain, doesn't even take all of it away.
Yeah people like you suffer from the superstitious sentiment propagated in the video. Doctors often refuse to even look into things and tell people to take aspirin, not to be fat, rest, etc.
@@MrCmon113 I'm happy to hear someone who knows how fucked the US' healthcare system is, dealing with it for years in my teens felt so damn awful. It was only until later in life did I realize "fuck, they really didn't do all they could with me" as now I have to see a pain management clinic about it, who still aren't technically allowed to give them to me all because Endometriosis isn't listed as a chronic illness to treat. I am grateful everyday I take my meds that my doctor actually gives more of a damn about me than my OBGYNs in the past! What's more unbelievable is all the OBGYNs I was around were all female, you'd think they'd be more sympathetic or at the very least, know someone who had unbearable periods like mine. I guess they either a) knew but the way the system is wrote in a way they can't legally help me, or b) part of the group of people who go "people who say they have really awful periods are just being overdramatic or lying for the attention." I know the latter of the 2 is most certainly a thing since my *own* family had this mentality I had to convince them that my pain was as real as the air we breathe before anything was even done. My male relatives still give me the "just keep your chin up" treatment, and as much as I can understand where they're coming from as I used to be the same way in the past, it's still exhausting af to deal with. I don't wanna be a dick or have to explain my shit over and over again so I just let them do it, and once they're gone, let all my frustration out alone and go about my day like nothing happened. The daily grind of living is a rinse and repeat for the sake of my sanity. :/ If the US Healthcare system actually would care about peoples wellbeing like mine, I wouldn't have to feel so out of place and marginalized. This system wasn't intended for a 20 something like me with a chronic illness. I realize that everyday as I'm basically an old man in a young body, always taking medications on the dot daily, barely able to go outside with a bad case of social anxiety, cabin fever, and depression, and tons of stress eating with 0 exercise cuz of chronic pain, all while my own mother chastises me for being "lazy and selfish" whenever she sees me for reasons that aren't my fault. I try my best to help when I can, but even my best is never enough for those around me, it's super draining on my mental health everyday.. My gf's dad is even considering if she should be my caretaker to help them financially haha.. I'm only 21, and even that sounds like it'd help me, what a country I live in. Never thought that'd make sense to me, as fucked as that sounds.

This is the exact opposite of reality, doctors love billing to just berate people about their lifestyle. Let chronic diseases that have nothing to do with the lifestyle fester and then bill out even more since it was never addressed and now requires a lot more billable hours
Yeah the sentiment propagated in the video is extremely harmful. They reinforce what doctors already do: give generic advise, belittle the patients, refuse to investigate and give medication.
Unfortunately even if doctors do address diet and lifestyle, their knowledge of those subjects is usually very limited and outdated. I have two brothers-in-law who are doctors-one went to med school 15 years ago and the other just graduated last year-and they confirmed doctors are only required to take a 25 hour course on basic nutrition. Most of them probably still think fat is bad and wheat bread is good for you.
Literally all of my doctor friends. Talking about wild surgeries and long lists of medications, and all of the new innovative&invasive therapies, but never about diet until it’s in the context of mortality rates.
I’m a doctor. Patients (unhealthy patients coming to the doctor) ‘generally’ don’t want to make lifestyle changes (that’s why they are unhealthy in the first place). In America, we want easy fixes (pills, surgeries, tests etc)
I've asked doctors directly why they do not bring up weight and they always say it has to do with not offending patients. I really wish you all would. I had a hernia surgery not go well because I was overweight really wish a doctor would have mentioned that. Also I had a friend that was clearly anorexic and doctors never said anything about her weight. You all could really help people if you were honest.
I haven't met an individual doctor that acts or thinks that way, but the organizers and business managers certainly do. Doctors are there because they want to help people get out of hospitals. The people that run hospitals are there because they want people in their hospitals so that they can make money. Edit: As an after thought, a lot of specialists and people that work in areas that aren't deemed "essential" (like plastic surgeons, dermatologists, study clinics, etc.) will try to get as much money from you as you can. No offense to people that work in these fields, there are certainly exceptions to everything I've said, I'm just talking from my personal experience.
I personally know one that does think that way. Won't admit it in public tho. They're people too, not all of them are empathetic and care about the "right thing". For some, it's just a job.
@@goodday3108 I suspect OP was going more for the connotations of "critical" than "essential". And yeah derm does some critical work too but it's reasonable to say that most of the workload for most of them is non-critical and often lots of it is just elective procedures. They play an important role absolutely but there are plenty in that field who don't have the best ethics. Of course there are parallels to varying degrees in all specialties though by all means
In Australia I just rock up, the Doctor taps me a few times and asks me a few questions. Then she gives medication and/or lifestyle/diet recommendations, and tells me under what conditions I should see her again about the issue - then I walk out without paying and go home (they have our medicare on file)
"Here, you need SSRI's." "Will this make me happy?" "No, but you probably won't be as suicidal." "Okay, it's been six months and I'm not very suicidal anymore, but nothing brings me joy and I have no motivation or energy to do chores and get my shit together. And I can't sleep at night because I can't stop clenching my jaw, hands and feet and I constantly feel restless." "No, we can't discontinue your medication. It shouldn't have those side effects you describe so you just need to fix your sleep hygiene and stop being a bitch." "It's like trying to sleep after having had 5 cups of coffee. I really can't functio-" "Stop bringing up your sleep issues. You need to stop gaming all night, stop using your phone or any screens six hours before you go to bed, wake up at the same time every day and take melatonin. I'm glad we agree." (This is basically why I had to change my doctor)
They always say that "that shouldn't happen" like we're lying and it totally isn't happening even tho it's a side effect & it can happen lol. They're so burned out/overworked tht doctors can't doctor most of the time. Is it Welbutrin (Buproprion) by any chance? It's a mild upper, similar to caffeine. It's annoying af and I'm still suicidal.
SSRIs like Bupropion typically has that major side effect where you gain the energy which can cause you to have motivation to get suicidal. I see this a lot in patients who end up in the behavioral center.
I've had bad doctors like this too. I've recently found a psychiatrist that is super sweet and actually listens to me and now my depression and mood swings are pretty stable. It took me years to find someone who actually cared but it has really paid off.
@@misteratoz But they do. I especially if you start asking for blood work to see if you have the proper amount of vitamin D, and B complex. They simply WON'T do that blood work. They act like it's not important when it 💯 IS!
My last two doctors were like this. Absolutely told me there was nothing they could do but give me multiple injections or do surgery to help with neuropathy in both my arms that just suddenly started crippling me. “Sometimes we have to learn to live with pain.” I started studying and changed my diet and I’m getting better and off of all medications.
My doctor and my son's pediatrician was like that yesterday. My son (4 years old) has had an awful cough and green mucas for a month. I caught it a few days ago after holding him all night since he was feeling really bad. I tell my doctor my symptoms "It's just allergies. They're really bad this time of year" and nothing was done. Take my son to see his doctor later that day and get the same answer. Prescribed him some cough medicine and told me to keep giving him allergie meds. Seems like ever since the pandemic started doctors just want to rush you out.
@@mathitis93 My allergies tend to be like that, but they're unusually debilitating and passed down through my family - so we already knew that would be it. If they really suspect it to be allergies when it's that bad, ordering blood work for it would be a really good idea.

Dietitians do this but we spend 2 hours on an initial consult and yall spend like 45 min to an hour max. And we get paid a fraction.
@@jrg305 Not saying dieticians should/should not be paid more, but doctors spend many more years studying more technical topics, undergoing intense training for many more years all the while diagnosing and treating patients. They don’t just treat patients in terms of diet/lifestyle medicine, but also treat patients in every other aspect of their life (GP specifically), so your comparison is invalid
@@kickboxing3728 Most doctors know absolutely nothing about human metabolism and what constitutes a healthy diet. I asked my doctor once if there was any things I could do on my own to change my testosterone levels. He flat out said no, drugs only. It was legit just like this visit, minus all the zaniness. I wanted to dropkick him.
@@GeronimoPlaz so is there is a way of chaanging testosterone levels by changing diet without using drugs asking for research purposes

I went to 30 doctors, did all types of exams, no one mentioned diet. Yet, the healing I was looking for since 2016 came through diet. Awesome video Andrew, had amazing laughs here!
This is why i consider most doctors literally evil. There are good ones but for the most part they are murderers.
Wild it took you 30 docs. You need medical confirmation. Teach yourself and you will prosper.
@@zeze3305 why would I need a doctor to confirm that my health is improving?
Doctors don't often bring up diet or lifestyle choices because they can't really do much about that. They can tell you that your diet is an issue, but they can't actually make you change, it's not in their power, so they will focus on what is in their power.
@@opedromagico Did you ask them about what you can eat and what you can't?
I do that and then they tell me don't eat this or that, etc etc.
My 4 favorite elements here: bedside manner= "frazzled barracuda" "blitzkrieg my immune system" "Imma silly goose" and "THAT'S LUNCH!!" 👌 I'm taking these with me for my next GI visit. They're thanking you in advance 🙏
I lost 65 lbs. Don't have eczema or asthma anymore. Heartburn gone. Never lifted 1 weight. All diet. Dr was blown away, looked at my blood work, said to keep doing what I have been.
Exercising is overrated honestly. Cutting out added sugar would help so many people it's insane, or even not drinking sodas or juice or coffee with 9 pumps of syrup will get you pretty far.
Great work losing so much weight btw!
@MickMcStreaming yep. No sugar and only small amount of carbs from occasionally vegetables. I basically eat meat, eggs, fish. No dairy. 1 meal a day. And fast once a week for a day.
@@Dreoilin That is what I am seeking to do just trying to get my spouse on board sucks though. She feels like we need to eat at the same time but she is also a picky eater for the worst foods and drinks.

They definitely advise diet and exercise in the militart healthcare system, but telling your patient to eat healthier doesn't matter if they don't do it. Medicine or surgery is given after they fail to work on their diet and exercise habits.
Almost no serious disease even has anything to do with your diet.
just give me the medicine or surgery
@@MrCmon113nope a lot of diseases are heavily influenced by diet having a good diet decreases your risk of cancer obesity arthritis various mental illnesses CVD and a bunch of others
It also can decrease the amount of time you get sick and your chances of getting sick and how severe it is so no
@@MrCmon113keep telling yourself that 😂
@@MrCmon113 like heart disease or type II diabetes?

Oh man the title. This will be good.
If you had 15 years of a skin disease and after 1 month of eating clean, all goes away and your doc says:
"Yeah, diet has nothing do to with it"... -_____-
Its the little things that crack me up in these videos
The "Cmon daaawg!" From thr doc destroyed me
“C’mon dawg” is just sooo well delivered here, dying!
Living on on the flip side of this, too many people pretty much refuse to change their diet and exercise. Their version of a good diet is only one gallon of Coke and one bag of Doritos per day. That said, diet/exercise counseling is critical for everything from hypertension to depression to sleep, and sometimes you gotta be persistent to get through to someone. I think some docs get frustrated and give up
(Still thought this was funny)
Most diseases have nothing to do with what you eat. And you don't need a doctor to tell you to stop being fat.
@@MrCmon113 Sure, most diseases don't, but many of the most prevalent diseases do (diabetes, hypertension, COPD, ischemic heart disease, cirrhosis, certain cancers, joint pain from obesity, stroke). And yes, you shouldn't *need* a doctor to tell you that, but in practice a lot of times people live alone or with enabling families, and sometimes it takes a talk with a doctor or some concerning lab results to help a patient realize they have a problem
@@Alex-op4ty Yes, but there are also a shitload of patients who believe in holistic alternative medicine nonsense that tells them literally every condition can be treated by changing their diet in some small way. And in many cases that is just completely untrue.
My favorite is people who eat fast food at least once a day AND expect completely bogus shit like homeopathy to cure them. Thank god the placebo effect at least gives them sooooome benefit.
It’s pointless to discuss that shit. Every patient just says they diet and exercise but it’s genetics and blah blah. Americans don’t want healthy choices, they want a magic pill.
Big facts tho. Hopefully, the system rectifies itself in time and starts considering nutritional intervention as an initial treatment approach before introducing pharmaceutical options, depending on the pathology of course
Amen to this. Nutritional therapy has been well-established fact for a long time. It's especially recognized in veterinary, since people are better at controlling their pets' intake than their own.
I do think the giveadamn and awareness of doctors has come a long way compared to what's characterized in this video, but I know I'm prone to be nitpicky in an optimistic direction, and of course these jerks still exist and I appreciate how hyperbolically funny the sketch is lol
We need to start with the junk food lobby. Go look up how the sugar lobby paid journalist to write about how sugar is healthy.
My doctor hates my diet…I just don’t give a shit right now?
Happy cells= happy body
Rectifies derives from rectum?
I make extremely funny skits as well. 1 bet 100% you’ll laugh. If not you can come back to tell me bro
This man's skits are freaking amazing.
You are a HOOT! And absolutely spot on! My doctors run check up tests on me that say “I’m great!” and they STILL suggest invasive procedures. Turds.
I had a very interesting interaction with an ER doctor off the clock. I work extremely long days when I work and chose to spend my only hour left in my schedule at the sauna where he and I went back and forth on tons of stuff relating to health. (I literally had 13 hour shifts then hit the gym for 3 hours to vent then 1 hour sauna and slept with an hour to eat when I wasnt snacking and driving) It was really cool and we both learned stuff. I asked about diet and he said he thinks diet would fix so much, just that he's not allowed to say it because of people being offended and that his employer looks down on it. It was really soothing to hear that not all doctors want to screw you over, but just can't do what they want because of bureaucratic red tape.
So it's because some people treat getting diet advice like you are telling them how to raise thier kids.
@@Darth_Insidious could you clarify?
Yeah, that’s most docs. Hell, no one I actually provide resources on wants to do the hard things that make the biggest difference: portion control, limit processed food, NO extra sugar….have good sleep hygiene…..get 45 minutes of exercise daily….I’m kinda tired of saying it when it would keep 20-30% of medical visits from being needed.
A lot of excellent, caring people go into healthcare and then gradually become cold and calloused to the people they once were so passionate about serving. I'm convinced that if you stay in the terrible system for long enough, you will eventually become terrible. I'm going to be a nurse, but I believe this is the reality of our healthcare system. I would love to be a nurse my entire working life, but I know that's probably not sustainable for me. I really do think caregiving in this terrible system slowly eats away at your morality and your sanity. 🙃
@@JamesDecker7 Tbh most people need a bit more of a ... schedule than that. We hear that suggestion all the time too, it's just so generic it's annoying to hear at this point. Imo a feasible plan - and the understanding that changing the diet and all the rest takes YEARS - would make these suggestions easy to follow for at least some patients.
And you want to hear another thing? I WANT to be capable of doing all of that - I struggle with applying it. I don't get good sleep most of the time because of past conditioning / ongoing issues and that screws all the rest. Being awake at night puts my body in "emergency mode" and keeping portion control becomes very difficult. Exercise is very hit/miss too. I used to walk in the summer but with autumn I got too gloomy to get out of the house.
This is straight facts 😂
I make extremely funny skits as well. 1 bet 100% you’ll laugh. If not you can come back to tell me g
As someone who doesn't live in America, I sadly miss out on having these kinds of delightful sounding conversations with my doctor.
Speaking as someone who nearly died over a few years time under medical supervision and then started getting better once I got away from all of that and focused on my diet - this is actually legitimate.
I hope you write a sitcom one day cuz you defs got the humour for it

"Hippopotamus oath"...My coffee is all over my desk now 🤣🤣🤣
to be fair, a lot of doctors do the right thing and say "don't eat stupid bullshit and take a walk outside once a week" and people say "nah, that's work and doesn't fit my no shits given lifestyle, just gimme a pill for it", then doctors get tired of saying it and just skip to the drugs and surgery
THIS👏👏👏
But then I have no one to blame but myself...
I’m assuming you don’t enjoy comedy and just state facts at every joke… What a boring life you live.
Dr. gets paid hundreds of thousands to make you healthy.... dr. gets "tired" of your bs so gives bad medical advice. Patient is at fault.
soooo in medical school, they focus on diet based cures for everything or drug based symptom suppressing 'remedies' ?
"Full-court blitzkrieg my immune system" is such a brilliant line that I don't think is getting enough recognition. That's some masterful writing.

It's almost like making the healthcare system a extremely lucrative business which would lead doctors to intentionally make their patients try extremely dangerous procedures that can lead them to waste years of their lives inside a hospital filling the pockets of the hospital in the process is a bad idea hahaha...

Almost* would have been a bad idea if not for all that money they were making
@@principemike9 really it's more like *taking though right? Money they're taking. yeah.
@@realfarmer21 Yeahhh nope. Not funny. Where's my time refund
@Richdragon it has more to do with the cost of college (which is expensive because the government didn't think more than two steps ahead when they decided to give out loans), the people who would take any chance to sue a doctor leading to expensive malpractice insurance, and the idiots who lead health insurance to include routine maintenance (just think about it, your home and auto insurance likely only exists for accidents/special circumstances, you have to pay for the upkeep entirely out of pocket). Any one of these factors would drive up costs on their own, all together and it's no surprise things have ballooned out of control.
To be fair ,the main reasons for this common experience is two fold.
1: most doctors are not dietitian’s
2: most medical professionals have 0 faith in there patients , to actually take/stick to any non-pharmacology based methods, Manly because it’s a waste of time because most clients end up failing then blaming there doctors. Not worth the headache and loss of patents
Me and some of my family are in the medical field and after my personal experience and looking at data on the subject It’s tempting to just go cookie cutter as well.

This dude is so insanely underrated. I genuinely think he is a comedic genius.
I'm no physician, but I'm months away from being a pharmacist. I always feel so out of my depth when thinking about diet recommendations. On one hand, I'm told I shouldn't feel so bad about it, that's not my job, but on the other hand, I know some about it and feel like there's still room for me to help people if only I knew a bit more or did more research, BUT at the same time I have so much stuff to learn and continue trying to commit to memory already ahhhhhhhhhhh I just want to help peopleeeeeee
I wish it was affordable and reasonable to recommend a nutritionist / dietician to literally everybody
I had a kidney transplant and they put the kidney in and skipped the bladder check. I got super fucked up. Getting the kidney removed soon because it basically blew up. I am currently preparing my will before surgery. This shit is spot on to what you get in real life. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been on the Internet for 14 years and rarely laugh aloud anymore 😂😂😂
Suffered for years from psoriasis. Pills creams didn’t work and docs advice was to “stop washing my hands so much”. My own research led me to omega 3 and vitamin C through food was a lifesaver.
I've been dealing with chronic illness for a decade and usually the only thing offered is "eat better and exercise" even when my joints were falling apart and I started having tachycardia and I was eating appropriately and exercising 6 days a week.
In my experience, doctors do less, not more, and if you have a chronic disease that can't easily be explained or blamed on your lifestyle, good fucking luck getting taken seriously.
Tbh even though all my issues were brushed off, diet or activity level wasn't brought up a single time. Apparently doctor even caught something going on with my white blood cells that was weird enough to make a comment to themselves.
Only to try to deny it later, even though they'd also done it in front of my mom as well. (My mom used to go back with me due to a mix of anxiety and not feeling able to handle the situation adequately enough.)
Nah they just passed me off to a therapist that had me doing the same stuff my overthinking self does all the time anyway.
Not only am I in constant pain (a 4 is a good day), my joints don't work (lock, give out, or feel like there's a tense rubber band I'm fighting against), I get tiny tremors to where it feels like I'm purring (for lack of a better way to explain it), tired nearly all of the time, and get sick from basic things.
Yeah you're definitely right they don't take chronic conditions or invisible illness/disability very seriously at all.
I hav heard a lot of stories about people having their diet or weight blamed for everything just for it to be discovered that wasn't it at all. Even heard of people dying easily preventable deaths because of that.
But even if they don't hit you with that, doesn't mean they're gonna take you seriously unfortunately. It's apparently literally everything else, and probably your fault according to them. Or 'just depression' or something, which again they'll make your fault somehow.
I have had a condition called Endometriosis since I had my first PMS cycle in 2012. Endometriosis is an endometrial disorder that affects the tissue inside of the uterus that gets shed during a PMS cycle. What the disorder does, is instead of forming the uterine lining within the uterus to be shed during PMS. That tissue will then form on the outside of the uterus instead, causing awful pain before, during, and after a period. This pain caused by the tissue growing where it is not supposed to be, will then cause what is nicknamed "chocolate cysts" that is scar tissue that will grow ontop of the disorder-caused tissue, stacking ontop of it in clumps to potentially spread and connect to vital organs(as in my case). I am now a transgender man and have taken Testosterone since the beginning of 2020, but even so, I am in 9-out-of-10 pain everyday, unable to move, with the US Healthcare system ffing me on all fronts possible. Docs always tell me "you're depressed and fat cuz you never exercise" even though just sitting up in bed or getting up to take care of myself causes massive flair ups that make me want to die. Certified gynecologists had no idea wtf my condition was when I was first suspected of it, and their only advice was "just take aspirin" even though every time I had a period, I would be unable to go to school for up to a week at a time. Eventually, as I was being subjected through constant treatments that were meant to help me but instead screwed with my pain and mental health throughout ages 12-18. My mom and me had to then plan with a Gyno I used to have for me to have a period only every 3 months with the help of 3 packets of birth control at a time since my extreme amounts of pain would get in the way of my studies. Obgyns didn't even want to put me on birth control to help with my pain just cuz "I wasn't old enough(13 yrs old)." The didn't even properly diagnosis it until 2018 when I had turned 18, since I was only suspected of having that or another called Pelvic Floor Syndrome. The only way to diagnose mine is through a laparoscopic surgery to find the scar tissue formed by years of pain. My Obgyn wanted to help remove my source of pain (the scar tissue), but couldn't since it had formed atop my lower organs including my bladder. I wasn't told by any specialists surgery was an option, only various experimental treatments that never paned out, including my Testosterone that I am currently still on. My mom had to discover that on my own.
I have been through literally every treatment imaginable to treat my Endometriosis (stage 4 currently), and I am currently on Ibuprophen 800mgs, and Hydrocodone-10s. The 2nd of which, is a heavy duty opiod that usually the elderly use for intense pains that comes with aging. I'm only 21 currently and I feel like I am an old man in a young person's body.
No one has ever taken my chronic pain condition seriously in the US, and I have constantly had to fight for my right for proper healthcare despite never getting it. The US Healthcare system is not made with me in mind, and even my pain meds come from a pain management soecialist who is currently breaking the rules just to give me proper care. My condition isn't even on the list of treatable conditions in the clinic they work at, and it's absolute bull.
I have been trying to get ultrasounds for my surgeon specialist at UCR Health who will help cut the Endometriosis out of my body, but the front desk has been absolutely awful to me.. I have an expired referral I have been trying for the entirety of November just to renew my ultrasound referral given to me by my surgeon, but they either have ignored, or didn't care about me asking them before all 3 of my ultrasound appointments, requesting for a renewed ultrasound referral. Instead, they decided to fax the same expired referral over and over despite how patient and kind I've been over the phone with them. On my 4th appointment in a different place on the 17th of December, I had gone in, explained what had gone down for the past month with my moms help. Even though we called UCR Health in advance for the now 4th time, they promised me they would take care of it and send the referral to me by email after I had explained the whole situation. As of now, I have still not received the renewed referral.
The ppl at the front desk of this place I was to get my ultrasounds done had tried everything to make my appointment work. They called the place twice in the last half hour they were open, both of which had my surgeon's front desk at UCR Health hang up on the poor worker just trying to call on my behalf. It took them feeling pity for me to do my ultrasounds after a month of wait, and even though they could get in trouble for allowing me one without a renewed referral, they still did, and I am very happy they did. I called my surgeon's front desk on the day the ultrasound nurse had told me they would receive my ultrasounds, and it had gone through to my surgeon with no issue.. Finally.. But now, I have to wait another couple of weeks for the holidays to pass for my appointment with my surgeon to finally be able to sit down with me and discuss getting ready for surgery, all cuz management couldn't do their jobs right so ppl like me don't have to suffer.
I would go to an entirely different clinic to be treated, but there are so few surgeon specialists that can do this exact surgery around the world, that I am entirely dependent on this one.. Otherwise, I would have to take an airplane or boat to a different state, or even country, that can provide this medical service. This surgery has to be done, at minimum, every 4 years, as this disorder isn't cancer, but acts cancerous, as the scar tissue will regrow over time. To say the least, I want to leave this shitty country to live in one in Europe that'll treat me like a human being instead of a piggy bank no one cares about. I never want to have surgery done in the US after this awful experience trying to get one.
I currently don't have a job, can't go to college, or have a driver's license due to how Endo has negatively affected my life since 2012.. My mental health has been struggling since then, when everyone including my friends, classmates, teachers, principals, doctors, and even an overall majority of my family viewed me as a worthless and selfish child for a poorly understood chronic condition I had 0 control of for the vast majority of my life.
One of my treatments, an Estrogen shot called a Depo that lasts for 3 months in your blood, had also been given to me at 15. That treatment had a less than 1% chance of inducing major depression and suicidal thoughts in patients that me and my mom were not made aware about. That year was the most miserable one in my whole life, as there was 0 way to reverse it. Then I was made to be in an awful mental hospital for a plan I didn't even understand or know what it was, for a depression literally out of my control as they never made me feel safe during my days there. To this day, I still have awful PTSD from that place and moments of intense fear, anxiety, and anger tied to my awful memories of that place that I still work through with my psychologist even today.
I no longer have PMS thanks to Testosterone, but I am still in constant pain with 0 help from the US' Healthcare system, as even what I'm on currently to fight the pain, doesn't even take all of it away.
Yeah people like you suffer from the superstitious sentiment propagated in the video. Doctors often refuse to even look into things and tell people to take aspirin, not to be fat, rest, etc.
@@MrCmon113 I'm happy to hear someone who knows how fucked the US' healthcare system is, dealing with it for years in my teens felt so damn awful. It was only until later in life did I realize "fuck, they really didn't do all they could with me" as now I have to see a pain management clinic about it, who still aren't technically allowed to give them to me all because Endometriosis isn't listed as a chronic illness to treat. I am grateful everyday I take my meds that my doctor actually gives more of a damn about me than my OBGYNs in the past! What's more unbelievable is all the OBGYNs I was around were all female, you'd think they'd be more sympathetic or at the very least, know someone who had unbearable periods like mine. I guess they either a) knew but the way the system is wrote in a way they can't legally help me, or b) part of the group of people who go "people who say they have really awful periods are just being overdramatic or lying for the attention." I know the latter of the 2 is most certainly a thing since my *own* family had this mentality I had to convince them that my pain was as real as the air we breathe before anything was even done. My male relatives still give me the "just keep your chin up" treatment, and as much as I can understand where they're coming from as I used to be the same way in the past, it's still exhausting af to deal with. I don't wanna be a dick or have to explain my shit over and over again so I just let them do it, and once they're gone, let all my frustration out alone and go about my day like nothing happened. The daily grind of living is a rinse and repeat for the sake of my sanity. :/
If the US Healthcare system actually would care about peoples wellbeing like mine, I wouldn't have to feel so out of place and marginalized. This system wasn't intended for a 20 something like me with a chronic illness. I realize that everyday as I'm basically an old man in a young body, always taking medications on the dot daily, barely able to go outside with a bad case of social anxiety, cabin fever, and depression, and tons of stress eating with 0 exercise cuz of chronic pain, all while my own mother chastises me for being "lazy and selfish" whenever she sees me for reasons that aren't my fault. I try my best to help when I can, but even my best is never enough for those around me, it's super draining on my mental health everyday..
My gf's dad is even considering if she should be my caretaker to help them financially haha.. I'm only 21, and even that sounds like it'd help me, what a country I live in. Never thought that'd make sense to me, as fucked as that sounds.

PFFFFFF- You never fail to make me smile 😂
This is exactly how I feel in the doctors office lol
This is genius. Literally the epitome of what today’s world is
OMG unfortunately true for at least a good % of my experiences with healthcare. "Shut up I'm not listening." killed me 🤣🤣🤣
LOL this is all so true and so sad. Your channel is so underrated!! Timmy4Ever
Best line: C’mon, dawg!
This is the exact opposite of reality, doctors love billing to just berate people about their lifestyle. Let chronic diseases that have nothing to do with the lifestyle fester and then bill out even more since it was never addressed and now requires a lot more billable hours
Yeah the sentiment propagated in the video is extremely harmful. They reinforce what doctors already do: give generic advise, belittle the patients, refuse to investigate and give medication.
well God forbid they try to stop your self destruction
Considering its 2 robot arms, i love the fact that theyre playing the short circuit 2 end credits song
Lol. Perfect way to show what’s not taught in medical school
"How do you feel"?...."I feel alive"...well in this case Dead!
The Short Circuit 2 music is on point! 😂
Unfortunately even if doctors do address diet and lifestyle, their knowledge of those subjects is usually very limited and outdated. I have two brothers-in-law who are doctors-one went to med school 15 years ago and the other just graduated last year-and they confirmed doctors are only required to take a 25 hour course on basic nutrition. Most of them probably still think fat is bad and wheat bread is good for you.
The music brought back that J5 feelings
Man's took me back to the days 🥺
I have experienced damn near this exact scenario minus the comedy of it lmao.
Literally all of my doctor friends. Talking about wild surgeries and long lists of medications, and all of the new innovative&invasive therapies, but never about diet until it’s in the context of mortality rates.
This is pretty strange to me, because lifestyle habita are literally the first thing that any doctor brongs up. It's almost annoying actually
I’m a doctor.
Patients (unhealthy patients coming to the doctor) ‘generally’ don’t want to make lifestyle changes (that’s why they are unhealthy in the first place).
In America, we want easy fixes (pills, surgeries, tests etc)
I've asked doctors directly why they do not bring up weight and they always say it has to do with not offending patients. I really wish you all would. I had a hernia surgery not go well because I was overweight really wish a doctor would have mentioned that. Also I had a friend that was clearly anorexic and doctors never said anything about her weight. You all could really help people if you were honest.
I haven't met an individual doctor that acts or thinks that way, but the organizers and business managers certainly do. Doctors are there because they want to help people get out of hospitals. The people that run hospitals are there because they want people in their hospitals so that they can make money.
Edit: As an after thought, a lot of specialists and people that work in areas that aren't deemed "essential" (like plastic surgeons, dermatologists, study clinics, etc.) will try to get as much money from you as you can.
No offense to people that work in these fields, there are certainly exceptions to everything I've said, I'm just talking from my personal experience.
Dermatologists are not essential?
@@goodday3108 they should, demartitis is a bitch
I personally know one that does think that way. Won't admit it in public tho. They're people too, not all of them are empathetic and care about the "right thing". For some, it's just a job.
Wait until you get an incredibly painful rash and then tell me Dermatology isn't essential
@@goodday3108 I suspect OP was going more for the connotations of "critical" than "essential". And yeah derm does some critical work too but it's reasonable to say that most of the workload for most of them is non-critical and often lots of it is just elective procedures. They play an important role absolutely but there are plenty in that field who don't have the best ethics. Of course there are parallels to varying degrees in all specialties though by all means
"Full-court blitzkreig my organs"😭
In Australia I just rock up, the Doctor taps me a few times and asks me a few questions. Then she gives medication and/or lifestyle/diet recommendations, and tells me under what conditions I should see her again about the issue - then I walk out without paying and go home (they have our medicare on file)
“I hope you bring every kind of trick and gadget and just full-court blitzkrieg my immune system.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I live in a country with free healthcare and.. yeah I don’t get this! Diet is the FIRST question you get asked about.
You seem fun
@@LadyBovine I am! I’m also very healthy because my healthcare is about people not profit!
nothing is free
@@firstlast8258damn they’re charging for air now?
@@linuxramblingproductions8554 ya it’s called an oxygen bar
God I love that music, so many happy memories from the ‘we’re fucking cops’ video 😭
TFW you suddenly realize the reason why you don't get this where you live is because your country has free healthcare 😂
Why this gotta be so accurate
"Here, you need SSRI's."
"Will this make me happy?"
"No, but you probably won't be as suicidal."
"Okay, it's been six months and I'm not very suicidal anymore, but nothing brings me joy and I have no motivation or energy to do chores and get my shit together. And I can't sleep at night because I can't stop clenching my jaw, hands and feet and I constantly feel restless."
"No, we can't discontinue your medication. It shouldn't have those side effects you describe so you just need to fix your sleep hygiene and stop being a bitch."
"It's like trying to sleep after having had 5 cups of coffee. I really can't functio-"
"Stop bringing up your sleep issues. You need to stop gaming all night, stop using your phone or any screens six hours before you go to bed, wake up at the same time every day and take melatonin. I'm glad we agree."
(This is basically why I had to change my doctor)
They always say that "that shouldn't happen" like we're lying and it totally isn't happening even tho it's a side effect & it can happen lol. They're so burned out/overworked tht doctors can't doctor most of the time.
Is it Welbutrin (Buproprion) by any chance? It's a mild upper, similar to caffeine. It's annoying af and I'm still suicidal.
I make extremely funny skits as well. 1 bet 100% you’ll laugh. If not you can come back to tell me my g
SSRIs like Bupropion typically has that major side effect where you gain the energy which can cause you to have motivation to get suicidal. I see this a lot in patients who end up in the behavioral center.
I've had bad doctors like this too. I've recently found a psychiatrist that is super sweet and actually listens to me and now my depression and mood swings are pretty stable. It took me years to find someone who actually cared but it has really paid off.
@@Andie143lovesanime Bupropion is not an SSRI
This is so spot on!
Would have been laughing without the music but I was done when it started 😂
I'm digging the 80's Short Circuit 2 music. Takes me back. Also skit was funny too 🙂
LOL! I love how they call it "alternative medicine" as soon as you start talking about eating heathy!
not my doctor
They don't.
And then when you eat too healthy it's "orthorexia."
@@misteratoz But they do. I especially if you start asking for blood work to see if you have the proper amount of vitamin D, and B complex. They simply WON'T do that blood work. They act like it's not important when it 💯 IS!
THE THEME to "SHORT CIRCUIT 2?!" Bro. 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎧
This is such a masterpiece 😂😂😂 pls keep bringing the lit content
My last two doctors were like this. Absolutely told me there was nothing they could do but give me multiple injections or do surgery to help with neuropathy in both my arms that just suddenly started crippling me. “Sometimes we have to learn to live with pain.” I started studying and changed my diet and I’m getting better and off of all medications.
Lol. I’m an ER doctor. Like any patient has ever been the slightest bit open to my suggestions for simple preventative medicine hahahahahah.
🤣🤣 the music was eerily accurate
Basically how my dr was today. Useless and funny. They didn’t even do anything.
My doctor and my son's pediatrician was like that yesterday. My son (4 years old) has had an awful cough and green mucas for a month. I caught it a few days ago after holding him all night since he was feeling really bad. I tell my doctor my symptoms "It's just allergies. They're really bad this time of year" and nothing was done. Take my son to see his doctor later that day and get the same answer. Prescribed him some cough medicine and told me to keep giving him allergie meds. Seems like ever since the pandemic started doctors just want to rush you out.
@@mathitis93 My allergies tend to be like that, but they're unusually debilitating and passed down through my family - so we already knew that would be it. If they really suspect it to be allergies when it's that bad, ordering blood work for it would be a really good idea.
@@mathitis93 I’m sorry to hear that. How are you and your son now? Did the medication help at all?
Hey Mr. John Mazter. Dr. Smith here. I just read your comment and was not pleased. Setting you up for a colonoscopy...
@@AlismonitesPatrides thank you I’ll take two and the biggest one u got LOL
Damn I live for these vids bro, always crack me up 😂😂😂
Canadian: confused momentarily. Remembers 'Murica. Understands.
