Woman: *goes to the doctor because of serious issues like chronic pain, fever, bleeding, etc; and is very obviously ill*
Doctor: "I diagnose you with fat. That will be $100."
Biiiiiig same
My brother went in with a bad cough, sore throat, and fever...
Diagnosed with "college stress" and "acid reflux"...
Took him to a different doc' out of state, and found out he had strep-throat... as did half the campus.
Just because someone's earned an expensive piece of lamb skin, it doesn't make him immune to being a sexist or biased asshat... Sometimes, you gotta be persistent. If someone's no service, don't go back... and fight with the insurance people and anybody else about paying for quackery. ;o)
Literally my mom's a nurse and every time i complain ab feeling bad in any way this is what she does. Im kinda fat and its bc i cant exercise due to chronic joint/muscle pain and the fact that my femur doesnt fit into my hip correctly
Oh man I had so many health problems before I lost weight. Never really knew how bad it was until I got to a healthy weight. But damn do I really love fried food.

Almost entirely agreed... I think specifically, specialists exist for the shear volume of complexity in the medical profession. There's just no other good way to deal with it... AND yes, they are under-utilized, in my opinion, too.
Now, should I ever need an epidural (or an ob/gyn for the matter) I think I'll be putting the first call out to the National Inquirer or the nearest reasonable equivalent...
I'll happily share that info (however) with any of the female friendlies who may have need or want for such.
...AND you are entirely correct. Somebody had to be the "bottom half" of their med' class. It's worth contemplation about where they DO end up in their professional world... They gotta be somewhere. ;o)
*_"Protip: While you toss the family out to do the rectal exam, ask all the questions they won't answer honestly."_*
Patient: "Are you gonna break it? "😰
Doctor: "No, you'll be juuussstt fine"

Patient: 😖😖😖
I work at an adult store. I'm a young woman with a kind face and a gentle demeanor and people just tell me things they wouldn't normally tell other people. Men tell me they're having trouble achieving or maintaining erections all the time. Once upon a time I was studying to be a doctor, so I always reccomend they get their heart checked, especially if it's a new occurrence. I've had at least half a dozen men come back to thank me because they did in fact have heart disease. I also routinely catch the symptoms of STI's and one of my regulars credits me for saving her life because I recognized the symptoms of cervical cancer and insisted she go to the doctor and they caught it in time to save her. Some days I feel like shit for burning out and ending up in a minimum wage job, but some days I feel like I'm right where I'm meant to be. I didn't become a doctor, but I did learn enough to help a few people and that feels really good.
Imagine you died because you didn't tell a dude you had blood in your poop for several weeks..
Bruh
Bruh moment, can't believe the woman
Went to the er because of lots of blood in my poop. I was told to eat more vegetables and drink more water and sent home. That was a few years ago and I still to this day I randomly get blood in my poop from time to time.
@@potatopancake9138 if you still get blood in your poop you should probably go check it again-
@@potatopancake9138 Exactly what j said
...also get seen by a different doctor, maybe 2
...if the 2nd doctor will be like the first, a different medical facility altogether for the 3rd, as no one should have poop in their blood...ever (which is a warning sign)
Ik this is dumb, but I do my best to avoid the doctor in fear of wasting appointments that other people might need. I keep getting told that I'm young, so Inshouldn't have any serious problems. It kinda guilts me into never going tbh
I'm 27. I have more medical issues than the entirety of my family combined. I have been on up to 13 medications daily since I was 19. Fuck saying just because you're young you're healthy, that's not how it works.
Yeah don’t do that. I had bad abdominal pains a few years ago but I didn’t think to go to the doctor because I thought it wasn’t serious. Bam appendicitis.
If you have a doctor who is saying that to you get a new doctor.
I had my health problems dismissed for years.... Until I nearly fucking died from one of my dismissed shit when I was 25. After that suddenly everyone is taking me seriously. And holy hell is there a lot of catch up to do, except I'm so sick that I have a hard time keeping up with appointments.
Your doctor should never discourage you from getting something checked out. Just last week I was like "hey I noticed the roof of my mouth is looking discoloured...." At a doctor's appointment, my doc took a look, turns out my viens are just closer to the skin, it's fine, totally normal and healthy. (She explained it a little more in depth and showed me some stuff on her computer about it, including reference pictures that looked just like me, so)
But, noticing I looked a little embarrassed she told me "but I'm glad you still told me about it, because you never know. If you ever have any other questions or concerns always feel free to ask!"
(Honestly I love that doctor, she's only the stand in while my main doc is on mat leave but yea)
Like it's better to check out something harmless than to miss something harmful, ya know?
As someone who has dealt with many medical issues, some of which are chronic from the age of 12, I HATE even the IDEA that youth somehow protects you from illness. It doesn't. Period. If being young was all it took to be healthy, then there wouldn't be a pediatrics wing of hospitals. Kids, teens, and young adults get sick just as much as any adult. If you have a medical concern, pursue it.

Ah yes, 'The song of my people'
The doctors always ask personal questions when your family is there, and if you ask for them to leave, it’d be sus. Like. Why don’t doctors just personally interrogate you (for like a checkup/physical)
Why do you bring your family to the doctors office then? Are you an adult? If not you’re just going to have to suck it up and ask your family to leave.
@@meymay11 Some people don't have a choice if their parent is forcing them to talk only with them around?
Or need an interpreter or something.
Learned this the hard way. If you're hearing voices and/or seeing things that aren't really there, feeling needlessly paranoid about things that don't make sense and/or believe something even in the face of evidence to the contrary, see a psychiatric doctor and be honest about what you're experiencing. They're not going to judge you and the medication, while it can be a pain in the ass due to side effects, it's better than dealing with it without the help and without therapy.
Learned this the hard way. I'm schizophrenic, have been since I was about 15 or 16, I'm 35 today. Didn't come out about the voices, delusions, paranoia and the negative symptoms until I was in my mid 20's. Suffered needlessly all that time.
Bipolar here with suspected schizophrenia, I hid my symptoms for 4 full years. everyone thought I was just weird but not worrying . It took a year to find the correct medicine
I know that Im not the only one who watches these 'medical symptom' videos to see if I might have any condition or illness that I wasnt aware of. 😄
10:15 damn. i cut out dairy and my memory is still shit 😂
Ooof! I should talk to someone about this left leg swelling 🤦🏾♀️
Yes
I had that too. Mine was my lumbar part of the spine. Pinching the nerv going fom my lover back to my foot. Sucks
@Tariq Wiliams only left. But ofc should be checked by a doctor. If it's a good doc he'll know in like 5minutes.
I didn't have that luck had a swollen left leg for 2 years undiagnosed untill I went again
@Tariq Wiliams No just the left one. I need a tooth removed. It’s probably infected. Waiting on new dental insurance Jan. 1
@Tariq Wiliams no just left
I always had a high anemia. Recently in hospital after I had a bike accident, they did a blood test and it was worse than ever. It got this bad in just one night. I was also a lot more pale. They started worrying because it was almost for transfusion but then I told them about my period. I usuallyhave it for 6 days and for 3 of them it's very intense. Then they literally let me out, prescription for iron medicine and after over a month of taking it we made a blood test again and it haven't got better. Even tho I do look better on the face because I'm not so pale anymore. I even have blushy cheeks and it's so pretty!
Get well soon. Hopefully you guys find the answer.
@@norwaee I'm not even any kind of sick or ill. But thank you!
I do believe theres something wrong with me, but these videos make my concerns 100x worse... if only my parents actually cared enough to take me to a doctor
Theme: Don't assume *anything* is normal.
A small cough could leave you coughing with Jesus.
I have a question. I keep getting cysts right in front of both my ears (very close to my nodes) that get big and painful and then drain. They come back consistently. Is it just me being a teenager with bad skin, or is there a reason I constantly get these cysts in the same place? They are moveable and not hard, so I’m not worried about anything cancerous.. but idk
See your primary doctor when they are big and painful and tell him or her how long and many times it has happened. They should look into it further and/or refer you to a specialist.
My tip for knowing when to see a doctor asap is unexplainable weight loss. (So not trying to lose weight and eating normally for you) Rarely is it a harmless sign.
Ugh, I had a severe anxiety attack that sent me to the ER and the ambulance workers were literally getting visibly annoyed at me saying I am not doing any illegal drugs. Nearly every time its been that severe I get asked and prodded to be truthful.
One of my best friends has rheumatoid arthritis, two artificial hips, and an artificial shoulder. Her body was rejecting the shoulder hardware and she had an infection so serious that if she had waited any longer, she would have been dead. The EMT's in the ambulance treated her as if she just called looking for drugs. It was ridiculous. They are so willing to treat people they suspect are addicts "looking for a fix" like they are subhuman. She was near death and they were treating her like trash. They could not conceive of anyone being in pain who wasn't looking for drugs.
*googles symptoms*

Have doctors ever thought of, oh, I don't know... maybe.... scheduling each appointment to be longer, instead of cramming as many appointments as possible into one day? Maybe actually do your job and prioritize the patients' wellbeing, instead of lining your pockets?
Like, you can't possibly expect to be able to diagnose, let alone treat someone in just fifteen minutes. And it's not fair to expect patients to make multiple appointments for something that should only take one. It's a waste of the patients' money, AND of everyone's time, including the doctors'.
If there were enough doctors to ensure that every patient had enough time, sure. But where I'm from there is a chronic lack of doctors and the only way you can ensure that everybody has a doctor is for a single doctor to have 2500 to 3000 patients. Which is a LOT.
Trust me doctors would love to have more time to be able to treat patients with care and without rushing, but it si what it is
@@evasmiljanic3529 Yeah, that's true. It's hard for me as a resentful chronic pain patient to see the doctors' side of things sometimes, I will admit.
@@nyxx5357 that's alright, sometimes doctors don't act like they should and treat patients like they should. I've been on both sides so I get it
@@nyxx5357 in my country appointments last 5 minutes lol
I've had wrist pain for about 4 years now on both wrists and it can get to the point of I cant bend one or both for hours or sometimes days. I'm hopefully going to get an appointment to have them checked out after the first if the year😗✌
The person just bringing up the chest pain at the end of the appointment is so frustrating
Feel like I've already heard this exact video at least two times? Anyone else?
These "reading Reddit with automated voice" channels often make videos from the same thread and use the same or a similar voice, so that isn't very surprising. But personally I haven't seen another video of this thread yet.
Holy fucking shit.... imagine struggling so hard through your entire childhood, labeled as "slow" only to find out 20 years later as an adult it was an allergy. I think I'd die on the spot due to wasted childhood.
Unexplained weight loss has always led to a fatal diagnosis in my relatives. Also discolored skin and unexplained movements.
I have asthma. It used to be bad. To the point of me losing consciousness temporarily due to O2 deprivation because perfume aggravated an already severe attack.
All this to say, My father and stepdad were in the hospital with me, and the nurse asked them to leave. Stepdad looked confused, Dad says "It's the sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll chat" Stepdad nodded, and they went off.
I wasn't going to lie in front of them anyway, but the nurse needed to be sure and had them leave anyway, but said "That's going to be my new excuse for any patient I want to have alone for 5 minutes."
Im glad y'all pointed out black poo mine was worrying me but just ended up being hemaroids which are pretty common
My dude hemorrhoids don't cause blsck poo, they case bright red streaks of blood on your stool. Black poo means you have internal bleeding somewhere in your digestive system. Get it checked
@@neelav2394 my doctor disagrees. It's both deep hemaroids will soak the stool itself I have both
Man I probably should have told my doctor about my constantly bleeding mouth
Wait, what?!
Came here to see if any of the things I’m ignoring get brought up.
Who runs this anazing channel and why dont you respond to comments
Because they don't want to? They just want to have videos up to get some extra dosh.
2:43 HUH?
1:44 - so true
10:15: I think I may also be lactose like this guy because I never have a bad reaction to milk but always forget about everything
I’ve always hated the doctors office because I hate that literally right in front of her and my family she’s like “OKAY NOW TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS IM GONNA LOOK DOWN YOUR UNDIES AND EXAMINE YOUR GENITALS,” like bro you don’t need to ANNOUNCE that you are going to inspect my ass
Hypochondriac noises intensity
All of them.
Heat fever cough and no taste oh
Covid
They still won't wear a mask
Ye
Sheep
Earliest I’ve ever been to a vid

Not related to the video. What the heck is the background
4:06😐um
I do not appreciate the way it pronounces HepB
Wait I’m early? Bruh
