Fun fact: when they evaluate you for psych, they don't care if you're delusional. They only care if you are a danger to yourself and/or others. Since the guy wasn't trying to hurt himself intentionally and had been educated on how what he was doing was harmful, as long as they believed he wouldn't do it again, he would be cleared to leave.
My teen child has Opposition defiant disorder but because she doesn't think this is a problem and refused meds and counseling I was told there is nothing I can do unless she hurts me or herself. Isn't that the point of seeking treatment early when you notice a problem before it gets to late?
When I've been evaluated for psych I'm asked if I hear voices if I said yes I would be deemed mad however if I say god speaks to me then that's normal!
never heard of Darwin huh. well, stupid people tend to off themselve's further NOT contributing the "moron gene" in the genepool 🙂
@@harleyme3163 Suicide isn't part of Darwin's theory of evolution or survival of the fittest - you can still produce offspring before you kill yourself.
Well they would not let me leave, that is what having good insurance does for you.
I am a retired physician. I was interviewing the parents of 2 boys brought in to get prescriptions for their “learning disabilities”. They were new to the community, and none of the 4 family members looked too bright (or clean). I was asking if there was a family history of any neurological problems. The father replied energetically “I was born with 2 dead brain cells”. Luckily I was looking down at my notes and was able to stifle a laugh. I excused myself from the room to get myself under control. When the family was gone I told this story to one of my partners. She said she once had a father who reported that he was stillborn!
Most people were born with at least two dead brain cells, what you've gotta watch out for are the people born with only two living ones.
Stupidity and high pain tolerance are a magical combination.
I had a patient come in asking for a full body scan because her "nerves and skin are wrong." She also said her insides were coming out. She had a long history of meth use. I asked when she last used, and she responded "this morning. It's not that. I use it every day, I know it's not that."
I’ve heard the other side of the IED story.
I used to work directly with wounded warriors and there were various organizations that help out. One such volunteer was lamenting about all the Soldiers injured from IUDs 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ROFLMAO😂😂😂😂
That’s a cute story
As a nurse I've seen so many things from different patients. One guy wanted us to just glue his gun shot up, we explained he needed surgery he was like oh no I've been shot before so I'll be fine...
So many things to many to on about but believe me it's never ending.
uh did you guys get the other bullets out?
He does have the right to refuse service. I guess you just have to convince him of the necessity for the procedure.
@@habeckkentrn lol I refused to let them sew my arm up. Then about 20 hours later I was sober and asking them why they didn't see my arm up and they said I just wasn't having it hah
"Oh, that's Nelson, he lives there"
Excuse me what?
Ran an STD clinic in the Army. Had a guy come complaining of the usual symptoms for gonorrhea. Did the typical exam which includes taking a specimen and checking it in the lab. Yeah he had. When I told him what he had he became angry and belligerent demanding there was no way he had gonorrhea. "I'm a married man and only have sex with my wife!!". Finally had to call in the the Dr. in charge and let him handle it. This guy was a Major and couldn't put two and two together and come up with "oh s**t".
Not in the medical field but back in my toddler years, I use to think that the x ray machine was a dinosaur and am still terrified of needles
For the longest time I thought a "stretcher" (gurney) was something doctors used to make you taller. Because...stretch out?
aw because of X-ray and t-reX??

I was never told by an eye doctor that constant exposure to sunlight would cause cataracts. They never really pushed for me wear sunglasses. All I ever heard was, 'cataracts are inevitable as you age.' Never any info as to why, until my sister's eye doctor explained this to her. We're in our 60s :(
Same here.
I somehow knew that I should wear sunglasses outside and wore them from teens on. People accused me of trying to look like a movie star. Laugh was on them later on in life.
Oh yes indeed, 64 and apart from reading glasses my eyesight is just fine, thanks to sunglasses 😁
Wait, what??
I never heard that!
I thought sunglasses were just so people could drive, or cause squinting was uncomfortable after a while, and the harsh sunlight can give you a headache!! I had no idea it could actually harm your eyes!
(In any case I'm a big goth and a little shy of 40 and my health is poor... Eyes and skin are doing fine thanks to staying out of the sun, using sun cream every day, and having reactions lenses for most of my life!)
The one with the kid covered in lice made me shiver at the thought
Ikr, poor kid
20 years ago, when I had just gotten my doctorate and am at mixer at my apartment complex a young pregnant teen approaches me. She says, "So you are a doctor. I need to ask you something. I have had sex with 4 different guys tonight, will it change who my baby daddy is?" While I know the answer, I took the cowards way out. I told her I was not that sort of doctor. My sociologist self felt the need to get far far away from her.
You were right to get far far away from her.....i have no words to describe her.... very dysfunctional....
I would've still explained it to her.
You should have explained

This just shows how poor health education (and education in general) is in the US. And that people prefer to solve medical problems at home because of how expensive healthcare is in there.
YIKES
Pretty much.
Partially yes, partially no. I work at the VA where healthcare is free for veterans, and they're still just as non compliant. Same thing when I was AD Navy, medical care is free with Tricare. It doesn't matter if it's free or paid for, some people just don't wanna listen 🤷♀️
The US does have the best wealthcare system money can buy after all

Protected voice: “Well GEE MISTER IT SURE PROBABLY COULD BE!!”
Yeah, my dad swore that it was a lie about smoking giving you lung cancer.
His proof?
Someone he knew died from lung cancer, and had never smoked in his life.
That's all he needed for "evidence"
Did he ever stop to think that the person that got lung cancer most likely got it from secondhand smoke?
@@melissacooper8724 He said second hand smoke was a myth. Plus, his friend wasn't really around smokers.
I told him not ALL lung cancer was caused by smoking, but he wouldn't believe it.
He was very dense in some things.
Frankly I'm surprised I'm not dead from all the second-hand smoking I did as a kid. I kid you not the first thing my sperm donor did when I came home from the hospital as a newborn infant was try to light a cigarette in the living room.
When are we going to get a video where patients can describe their dumbest doctor experiences? Because I've heard some doozies.
Now that you mention it I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video like that but would love to! I have some of my own to tell.
In some countries the standard of medical care the US has for most the population would be criminal. It's an extortion racket. I've actually heard dentists say "good dental care is how the people that matter identify each other" and that missing, broken, or misaligned teeth is how to identify those leeching off the rest of the world....
IMO crime against the wealthy or anyone that extorts people of their wealth for medical care beyond their control shouldn't be a crime.
In fact..i have a condition to where I am unable to help or serve as an eyewitness to any act of violence upon the wealthy...I just didn't see anything
Just left a comment on with two stories of my own about stupid doctors.
As someone who is horrifically near-sighted (think hand-width in front of own nose before everything turns mushy) I cannot understand people who fuck up their own eyes at all. I hated going to the eye doctor as a twelve year old, but I did and followed instructions. I am now in my mid-thirties and my eyes haven't gotten appreciably worse for the last three sets of glasses I bought. (first was because my eyes got worse, second was because, well, last growth spurt, third because I broke them last because I broke them again.) Listen to your eye doctor, people!
Vision issues? It is genetics.
@@ankhpom9296 Genetics or not, good eyes are worth keeping.
@@ankhpom9296 There's been some research on that. 30ish years ago, myopia (nearsightedness) was practically unheard of in Chinese youth. These days, most every Chinese youth have it. The change was the amount of time spent outside as children turn from play/sports to study. Turns out that sunlight tells eye-balls to stop growing. If they don't stop, the person gets myopia.
Grandfather rarely had sunglasses on, I wear them a lot. I wanted to get sunglasses with my prescription so it's easier to deal with. Gramps was against it and was sorta arguing with the optometrist. He then told him flat out that sunglasses prevent cataracts. His face was priceless, the guy saw me almost doubling over with concealed laughter behind gramps. Gramps had cataract surgery up the next week. That I drove him home and helped treat him at home. He hasn't complained since XD
My sister is just like the mom at the eye doctor. She brought my nephew because he failed his eye exam in school and she got the glasses but he lost them 2 months later so now she said he doesn't get glasses, he doesn't need them. She believes all doctors are full of crap.
Sounds like my mom. Our doctor said my brother had double pneumonia. He ended up having to call police to get him to the hospital, all because my mom thought she knew better. She was abusive.
My grandmother was born in 1885, when doctors probably didn't know as much about medicine as the average fifth grader. "Doctors don't know anything" was her constant refrain. I kept telling her things have changed, but she never did believe me.
She was a belligerently non-compliant diabetic and would sometimes be blind in the morning. She'd behave herself for a day or two before an appointment, and then think she'd fooled the doctor into thinking she kept to her diet. She didn't. But she'd chortle, "See, doctors don't know anything".
@@LadyAnneJT my grandmother was born in 1894 and everything to her was a cold. If your knee hurt, it was a cold, if u broke your arm, it broke because of a cold. They get their mind set and there's no changing their minds!
I saw a man who came in because he was having foot pain from his diabetes. He brought a Tupperware container with him. They were his toes. They fell off. He waited 3 hours in the waiting room without telling anyone.
He should have used Pyrex
@@jamesparson 🤣🤣🤣
I know men can be bad about seeking medical care when they need it but damn. I wonder if the poor guy was just in shock.
I was in a procedure around 20 years ago, where a puppy chewed off a diabetics toes while he slept.
Should have used flex tape
Case 1 is a clear cut case of enabling! I’m also an RN, and I’ve witnessed similar incidents in the clinical setting and in homes! I’d love to hear the end of the story, because I can only imagine what it was like to fight the patient, let alone all of his “well-trained” family members! Let me add that I’ve also battled obesity..not 400#, but I weighed enough! I can guess how he must’ve fought to preserve his addiction.
When I was a resident, I had a mid 20’s woman complain that she had been married for a year and couldn’t get pregnant. Upon further questioning, it was revealed that her husband had left the country the day after their wedding and they hadn’t been together since. I had to leave the room to not laugh in front of the patient. Then I got a nurse to speak with the patient. I told the nurse that the patient didn’t have any medical problem, she had an education problem.
My uncle, an anti-vax covid denier, is currently in hospital having had his arm amputated at the shoulder for sepsis. Allegedly, he hurt his hand on Christmas eve and was rushed into hospital on Boxing Day but I've a feeling he'd been ignoring it for far longer than that.
Every Type 2 diabetic that is non-compliant is a lazy idiot. I was 170 kg, 27 years old, fat as all hell and got diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. I lost about 25 - 30 kg over 6 months. Adopted a healthy eating plan. Got my fat ass moving and I was no longer diabetic and i am 130 KG. The goal is to lose another 15 KG.
The most impressive part is the nurses said "I wished all diabetic patients were like you."
Must be great to be you.
@@EllaBee90 It is, and it could be great for everyone as well.
@@JustAGuy93-G I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. I work in surgery and I have been involved in literally hundreds of diabetic related procedures. I wish more people had your self discipline.
@@habeckkentrn Thanks bud, i appreciate it 😁
I'm 58 and have had to wear corrective lenses (glasses/contacts) since I was 7. That was my first eye exam. Honestly I most likely needed them sooner. Had to have bifocals at 25. I had to get trifocals/transition at 38. Age doesn't always factor in when it comes to your health; no matter the problem. Believe me, I've been a medical anomaly my whole life. Visual problems have been the least of my worries. And that's with having 3 tumors(3 different times) inside my right eye socket . The human body is amazing!
I was severly farsighted, and needed reading glasses, but then I couldn't go from writing on my tablet, and the looking up to the chalk board.... I was in bi focals at 15.
Heavens! One second of a pause between the single stories would help.
@8:05, hearing “Woo Hoo!” So many times in rapid succession make me giggle uncontrollably 😅
"Oh that's Nelson, he lives up there" XDD
💀💀
Hearing "doctors currupt, just want money" hurts
It just hurts
Worked ER. Had a woman come in 3am complaining of ‘weg (Leg) aches’ for 5+ months. When asked specifics on the aches she replied, “my wegs hurt bc I gots the walkin’ Numomia”
Chest Xray clear, labs normal, no swelling or edema….? She was released later that morning saying that she was gonna sue us all because her ‘wegs still hurtin’.
You can’t mKe this stuff up.
My dad was an MD. One of his patients said he was going to have surgery for a detached rectum!
somehow, that sounds like a thing
Those darn things can get away from ya!!
Fun fact: if you eat snacks all day but DO brush your teeth, they're fine. At least mine are.
nope. I was told that my cavity was caused by my diet, and not matter how much i brushed my diet caused it.

WOO~HOO
I just remembered song 2 by blur after seeing this
@Alfonso Roñeras: And now I have that song stuck in my head, thank you so much.
had an eye doctor prescribe me with bifocals at age 14. i didn't need bifocals. they actually made me throw up because of how disorienting it was. sometimes doctors make mistakes too. it was kind of annoying hearing that one eye doctor act as if they're always right.
Sorry to be distracted, but this game's portrayal of Bryce Canyon is very nice. I love that part of North America, the Colorado Plateau and the area vaguely surrounding it.
I would like to point out that you can be put on Metformin even if you do not have diabetes. It's pretty normal if you have PCOS or if you are obese and they think you may develop diabetes in the future.
Yeah, but in these cases the use of metformin is off label and the patient should give his or her written informed consent for the treatment, so it is unlikely he /she doesnt know the reason for using it
@@mariapittalis2147 You would be surprised by what doctors DON'T tell the patients. My husband is getting ready to start dialysis because the kidney doctor did not tell him he had Chronic Kidney Disease, nor was he told what it meant, how serious it was, or anything else. i figured it out through Google searches using his test results. When I asked the doctor if he had CKD, he turned, looked at me and said, "Yes! In fact he has advanced Chronic Kidney Disease.". He was stage 3 at that point. I started asking questions but still didn't know the absolute seriousness of it. My husband thought he was seeing a Kidney specialist because he has clusters of cysts on his kidneys and the cysts were being monitored, (polycystic kidney disease).
Luckily, his insurance company is aware of many doctors not informing their patient's like this and put together a program for their CKD patients. It has been a Godsend for us. He has a nurse and a caseworker who comes to our home and goes through everything with us. We didn't know about the different stages, options, diet, nothing! He was in stage 3 six months ago and because he was not told and did not take extra steps and measures, he is now stage 5. For those who don't know, that's end stage.

@@tsgrandma9837 that's so awful and absurd...The doctor should have told your husband about the severity of his illness!
But it's medically risky to start at high dose, top of the line, EXPENSIVE medication, instead of trying lower dose, less expensive meds to treat prediabetes.
Using Metformin for ANTHING besides diabetes is technically, illegal, because it has not been through the FDA testing to PROVE the drug is effective for treating these other problems, and it has NOT been proven to not cause any damage for long term use, for problems other than diabetes.
Gabapentin is a seizure med. By accident they realized it treats pain. It became the go to pain med to avoid opiates; it still is. DESPITE, mutliple class action lawsuits for brain damage, that the patients won; AND a mulit million dollar fine from the FDA for marketing Gabapentin as a treatment option outside the original scope of the FDA approval. $10M in fines and damages were just pocket change compaired to the billions they make on selling Gapabentin as a pain treatment.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Talk to several doctors before taking a medication that is being crossed prescribed.
All the ones about eyes make me sad.
Using the same disposable contacts for ages not even taking them off...
And the home made cleaning solutions! I don't even use the bottles to the end.
I've had a time with doctors. When I was in the ER one night, I felt dizzy and strange. My weight would go and down 10 each time I took it. I went for a walk a few hours prior and then realized that I needed help. Since I'm a psych patient, I get butt-fucked every time. If you want to be treated horribly, have a mental illness. Anyway, I asked the people in the ER if they could check my heart. EKG, nothing there. I became irritated, and I was like, it has to be a valve. Later, a doctor found my murmur, but I was too out of it and freaking out by then. She wanted to do a echo test.. However, I was committed for asking for heart surgery. I couldn't stop moving those like 60+ days on the ward, had bizarre blood pressures. And I was orthostatic or something pos, I think, or neg. Plus, my white blood cells were high. They found the lesions in my brain three years later. "Shot through the heart, but you're too late, you give love a bad name." I've gone through years of agony. I'm not fond of doctors. Keep your clipboards and online educations to yourselves.
We paid for progressive lenses for my daughter once when she was about 7. Turned out, she prefers the bifocals that are covered by insurance anyway. We haven't had to pay for her glasses since.
We did have to pay for them when she was a toddler. The ones that came with insurance were NOT toddler proof. She broke them almost immediately. We got the free replacements and she broke those too. Then we had to pay for plastic frames that kids can't break. Those should be covered. The free ones are useless.
How are so many diabetics so ignorant? I have diabetes, and I know there's no such thing as "Half diet" pop, and that one of the ingredients in sprite is water. We're not all that dumb.
Unfortunately there are tons of people out there whether it’s from social media or just plain word of mouth that give terrible and sometimes dangerous advice without any formal training or science to back up their claims. Sometimes I wish it was punishable by law to give medical advice if you aren’t qualified but that’s a slippery slope.
They aren't necessarily ignorant, but in Denial. If they don't accept their diabetes, they don't have to change.
I had a patient tell me her big blue vein was a bruise from a blood draw 2 years prior.
Dispensary tech here. It's somehow comforting to hear that the dumb people I deal with on a daily basis are just as dumb in front of much more highly trained medical professionals than me. Some aren't even that dumb - they just have no common sense. The number of people I have to handhold just in selecting a bandaid size or something so basic is wild.
Water is actually a super rare allergy, but I don't think Sprite would be answer, lol. It's more of an exposure allergy; I forget what the treatment is.
Progressive lenses in your eye glasses actually decrease your vision more rapidly.
Ok. The water allergy I can totally get. I, actually, have the same problem....sort of. We lived in the city so only had access to chlorinated city water. My parents already knew I couldn't swim in public pools because I had a reaction to the chlorine but when I complained about stonach pains after drinking house water they thought I was making it up so I could have milk instead. I also break out in hives if I get rain water n my skin, especially if it hasn't rained in a while. I have very 🖕ed up skin, it's sensitive to everything.
i hope you live in Arizona or somewhere like that.
I'm similar. May suggest try bottled mineral water. I can't drink tap water, rash up at rainwater, shower water, my own tears.. really itchy.
Been drinking buxton water for years now.
Yea... But an actual water allergy should be verified by a doctor and in the doctors notes/ medical record.
Experiencing symptoms like that should be a reason to let a doctor look at it because maybe it can be treated.
Balm for the hives, maybe some desensitization therapy and investigations if the allergy/sensitivity is caused by some other issues/disease... But I guess that's something that is dependent on the level of insurance. I'm lucky to live in a country were everything necessary is covered no matter what type of insurance one has. Allergy assessment, treatment or desensitizing are necessary procedures. They would be available to anyone, except public care might lead to some weeks or months waiting for an appointment if it isn't urgent.
These make me feel better about my eating habits.
We've had more than one family member ask where they can take a shower. We say, "At home."
Thanks for the info on the cost difference of progressive lenses.
I wouldn't have expected it to have been that much.
Fun fact…. Someone CAN be allergic to water. However very rare
I JUST CANNOT STAND THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!!! I have to read these and the shifting spinning twisting background is is impossible to concentrate!
Had a coworker had to be um 19 years ago. Named Jerry, I liked Jerry nice guy. He was diagnosed with colon cancer but he wasn't going to go to hospital he read a book and was going to cure the cancer with teas and herbs and vitamins. By the time he learned the error of his ways its was too late. I visited him about a week before he died, he was skeletal thin was strong enough to push bed covers off of him
I've got a stupid general practitioner one for ya. I had a patient come in bc his physician told him he needed to be checked for HPV warts under his tongue. The area she pointed out was normal anatomy called a fimbriated fold. It's the little frill of tissue that runs under your tongue. This guy was freaked out for weeks over nothing
as much as we would love to tell patients that they're dumb, we can't.
think it would probably make the world a better place if we all were just ya know… informed and reasonable.
It kinda makes me wonder how many deaths would be prevented just by being less stupid.
Being less stupid would probably be a solution to allot of problems wehhhhhh
"TAKE COVER, ITS A BOY!!" Got me dead 💀💀💀
Got a fun one. Context, I work in urology heh. Patient uses a catheter to empty his bladder (he uses a latex tube multiple times a day and inserts it into his bladder) well he kept telling me the whole visit “I keep getting UTI’s” at the last second he mentions “well I don’t got no lube so I just lick the cath before using it” my heart fell out my ass 😂 well sir, that’s where your UTI’s come from.
I left a pair of 2 week contacts in for 8 months, and they dissolved. Not saying anybody should leave their contacts in but I've done this for 16 years and the worst thing that happens is that my eyes can get really dry at night time when trying to sleep with them in. Obviously, take them out if they start to bother you and leave them out until your eyes feel better. These horror stories are mostly people ignoring the obvious signs of an issue and doing nothing about it.

I was never taught about dental hygiene when I was a child. Today I only have 4 teeth on my bottom jaw. I pulled 3 teeth out myself because they were loose. What you don't teach your children about dental hygiene. Will be detrimental to their health. I had a tooth ache and ignored. I ended up in the hospital with a major infection. So parents please teach your children how important it is to brush their teeth.

Number 22 got me laughing harder than I ever had.
One time, when I broke my leg, on the day I was set to leave, the doctor gave me a list of things not to do while my leg was in a cast.
I know the basics, and I thought this was just going to be a quick conversation about the dos and don'ts while my leg was healing.
The doctor tells me I can’t stand, walk, or bend, and I don’t put any pressure on it. I’m just thinking, okay.
But he continues to say I cannot run, skip, hop, jump, kick, dance, or zombie walk-basically, a list of things that would involve standing, bending my knee, and putting pressure on my broken leg.
The doctor also said I had to list several exercises and gave me a list of “romantic” positions to avoid.
It turns out he and other doctors in the hospital had several patients who used the phrase “the doctor said that I couldn’t do A but not B.”
3:50 Some eye doctors specifically recommend an optometrist to take their own values and use those.
Sure, use the doctors prescription as a starting point - they are good values.
But a doctor checks mainly to see anomalies that need medical intervention. An optometrist has more routine and focus to dial in the prescription and knowledge what it is optically and physically possible to grind into glass and how his (paying) customers respond to different option.
Story 13 gave me chills…how the heck
That last one proves there is something incredibly wrong with the younger generations.
i will never get the sound of the "woo hoo" out of my head
There r ppl who don't care about their health. No matter how good a doctors r, it will not be enough if the patient keeps living with their unhealthy lifestyles.
Hearing the eye doc stories and imaging what it looked like is making my eyes hurt
I have been sitting my ass on the chair and studying till I can't even stay awake anymore for the past 2 years, and I still have 1 year left, in my 3 years of high school, all that so I could become a doctor (neurosurgeon to be specific), and these stories kinda feel like what I'm going to experience lol
As far as things go, taking a stuffed animal into the OR as an adult seems relatively fine in story 19(?). Nothing else about that story is reasonable in any way, but like if you have bad anxiety and a stuffed animal calms you down without extra medication, who am I to judge.
Went to the doctor for my very close veins. He didn't know what I meant. I need a better doctor.🤣🤣🤣🤣

What about those stupid questions and statements from doctors? I was at an outdoor pool with a doctor friend (he had been a practising doctor for 15 years already). He got pissy with me when I came out of the change room to the car - and my hair was wet. "You're going to catch a COLD if you don't dry your hair!" Dude, we just spent an hour and a half in the pool, with WET HAIR, OUTSIDE. Did you miss class the day they taught where colds come from???
people get sick from having wet hair. I think when you’re in the pool it’s different I’ve had that experience. He’s a good doctor.
@@MethodiousMind Sorry, but that is still a no. Wet hair in a cold environment can make you feel cold and uncomfortable. But it will not give you a cold. Viruses transmitted through bodily fluids cause colds. Scientists have found that being chilled does not increase the possibility of catching a cold.
Saying "I'm allergic to water" is like saying "I'm allergic to carbon"
I've had a friend tell me that wearing a seatbelt will break all of the bones in your torso. Let me just say i dont think he is going to pass drivers ed. Oh, and he told me that it is safer to not wear a seatbelt.😂😂😂😂😂

Why is it so consistent for men to not go to the doctor 😭😭 i literally have to beg my bf to go the hospital when he needs to
My glasses had to be progressive, because when I had the old-fashioned kind, I got motion sickness from the distortion.
1:08 - Mathematically speaking, she *could* have been right. If she drinks a 32oz soda, but 16oz of it is ice, then it's literally "half-regular", because she's getting half the sugar of a 32oz.
If you drink 32oz of soda you are drinking all the sugar no matter how you "dilute " it.
@@stanleyhape8427 - That depends. If you are drinking 32oz of soda and 32oz of ice in a 64oz container - you are absolutely right.
However, if the container is 32oz and it is half soda and half ice, it might be CALLED a 32oz of soda, but it is in fact only 16oz of ACTUAL soda.
If you pour a can of pop (12oz) into a pint glass (16oz) and add 4oz of ice, it would not be unreasonable to say you had a pint of soda - even if this is mathematically inaccurate. Why do you think you have to ask for no-ice at most fast food places - because they can present a caloric count based on an expected ratio of actual pop in each size.
So without knowing the container size, we don't know the actual quantity of SODA in the 50/50 mix.
All I know is this reminds me of the Boy Meets World episode in which a girl asked for a diet soda and the server responded by pouring half her drink into an empty glass & stating, “There you go- half the calories!”
Met a lot of folks who don’t know a lot about medicine, or human anatomy. Since I was a really sick, and really observant, child, I had picked up a lot, so whenever someone mentions they have tonsil stones, even though they don’t have tonsils, or anything about how pulling out is a legit form of birth control, all I can do is just raise a brow. I don’t say anything, since I’m not a doctor, and I’m still ignorant on a lot of things, but it kind of boggles my mind when someone gets a really basic medical thing wrong. For example, drinking exactly 8 glasses of water because “that’s how much you’re supposed to drink”, using an inhaler that’s upside down, saying a baby is birthed through the urethra, saying that labor doesn’t hurt that bad, saying that pregnant mothers should literally “eat for two”, the like. It’s kinda nuts how certain things stick around, or that we as the general public don’t know that much, or aren’t taught the basics.
I used to work for an older “macho man” type guy who thinks that doctors are all out to get us. No matter how sick or injured he or an employee was, it was no excuse to miss work. He insists that he once “cured” himself of a heart attack and was able to go back to work the next day. What was his miraculous cure for his heart attack? He says he sat in a hot tub for a few hours. I relayed the story to a friend who’s a doctor. She said that sitting in a hot tub is one of the worse things someone suffering a heart attack could do. I hurt myself while working for this guy. I could hardly walk and the pain was excruciating. The doctor put me on a narcotic pain relief med and said to take a few days off from work and keep off my feet. The boss insisted that I report for work, so I did. I looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The boss told me to ignore the doctor and get acupuncture. He said the acupuncture would fix me up good as new. He wasn’t happy that I didn’t follow his advice. Anyway, it turns out that I hurt myself worse than what was initially suspected and needed surgery. The boss said the doctor just wanted to operate on me to make money. I no longer work for this guy. Frankly, I’m surprised he’s still alive. He’s the consummate workaholic. He’s bloated and you can tell he’s in bad pain. Ronald McDonald is his personal chef. He’s about 6 years younger than me but looks like he’s 6 years older. I don’t know how he does it, but he keeps soldiering on.
Oh that's Nelson he lives up there
Well gee, goodbye Nelson
I remember years ago when someone had thrush and was told to have natural yoghurt, WELL, she wondered why it wasn't clearing up But irritating and itching and Sore all the more😂😂
How, in the peak of advanced medical care, have people legitimately believe is all a con or bad for you until their death? Its even worse when kids are involved. Dying so young and not knowing why because mommy was afraid autism. Smh
I am not a doctor, but when I was in the ER a nurse was gonna use an IV needle that fell on the floor if she could reach it. EVEN if it’s in packaging it’s no longer sterile my mom studies in the medical field.
Crazy sad how ignorant some people are. I started wearing bifocal reading glasses at 12 yrs old. Helped my eyes so much and they were invisible couldn’t tell. Don’t have them anymore for the last few years
Hey, did you know this? When they check your mental health, they don't worry if you're a bit out there. They only care if you're a danger to yourself or others. So, since this guy wasn't trying to hurt himself on purpose and knew that what he did was bad, as long as they thought he wouldn't do it again, he was free to go. Cool, right?
why do i keep getting perfectly timed ads with this yt channel
