Oooooof

Yep. Almost died at 13 because a male doctor insisted my pain was caused by cramps. In fact, my appendix was bursting. My mom insisted they operate and it saved my life (it was a close call though).
no it's not close call it's too close of a call

Dang i just commented that lol
Thats why some people dont use it
Wow that makes sense lmao
Brain what if I smell sweet?
It is magic because it can think - My bias brain.
My appendix ruptured when I was 12 and the doctor told me it was just period cramps. My appendix was ruptured for a week, and I had made 3 trips in to see him before he finally checked anything. By that point several other organs were infected and I was in surgery for 8 hours. I flatlined during surgery for 6 minutes. I still struggle with the aftermath. I now have severe period cramps… so the doctor predicted the future 😂
i would get so angry at the doctor 😭 pls tell me your parents gave him an earful or something shdhsskskks
While still in the OR after my c-section I felt extremely nauseous and they had me smell alcohol. I didn't throw up, and the nausea went away. Hadn't heard of this trick prior, but was thankful for it!
Wait, how does smelling alcohol stop nausea? I believe you I think it does but I'm curious how it works.
@@cmpvariety1764 I have no clue 😅 I don’t know about it until they did it, so it wasn’t a placebo in my case!
@@sydneyrouse see I can't test it because I have chronic migraines and strong odors like alcohol will cause one to get started on me pretty quick. It probably does work though, if you say it works it works I just don't know how.
I've used it many times with patients and had good results has never worked for me personally though. Since I had covid in December 2020 I've had much gastrointestinal distress, I've lost100+lbs from mostly nausea and vomiting.
Actually, anecdotally, a number of women who have experienced both appendicitis and bad menstrual cramps have said they ignored the appendicitis at first because they either (1) assumed it was period cramps, or (2) their period cramps were so much worse that they assumed it couldn’t be anything serious. But the part about doctors ignoring them also is true.
My wife had hers rupture and it stayed like that for four days before they finally operated. She obviously almost died and had to have her stomach left open for more then a week with daily deep washing of her internal organs!!! I found out they essentially use a surgical version of bleach that they pour into such wounds and either sop up with surgical sponges and/or suction! 😳
People most often go in denial, cause how much easier it is to assume something usual than something unusual and disruptive. And in those cases, blaming their own cowardice on doctors is such a dishonorable act...
I ignored bladder infection once for three days straight cause I thought it was my normal usual cramps. I understood it was not only when during the night it got higher and behind my back.
@@AleksandarIvanov69 doctors also ignore when they say it’s not like any menstrual cramps they’ve had. And only one person in the situation is a medical professional that’s responsible.
I had bad cramps and started feeling embarrassed in the hospital bed because it started fading with the ibuprofen I took hrs ago and anything appendicitis related didn't show up on scans (still acute.) I was ready to admit I was wrong and just go back home even though I literally could not move to breathe without pain earlier. The doctor/surgeon did a "test" pushing on my right side and when it hurt on the left they decided to go through with surgery. 😅 Told me after surgery that I would've probably been back in a few days anyways if they sent me home. Apparently it's something gyn clinicians know too?? I mentioned it one day and my nurse casually went "Yeah, that will do it."
I got necrotizing fasciitis when I was 9 years old in my foot inside my cast when I broke it! I thought it was a normal amount of pain for a break so I waited for it to heal, but when pools of blood soaked through my cast, I was rushed to the ER and had it immediately taken off. The most I remember from that experience would be my skin practically being melted off, but I was very fortunate and luckily I didn’t have to have anything amputated. Now I just have a fun story and some sick scars and nerve damage which I am VERY thankful for!
Cool

Oh dang, that must have been pretty scary

I’ve never had appendicitis but I did end up having a year late allergic reaction to a medication that caused my mouth to go numb, not being able to swallow or talk, caused me to drool, and I couldn’t control my arm from acting like a miniature seizure. The nurse saw me and said it was all in my head or trying to get attention due to me being on meds for depression. She never asked me any questions or and real info walked in and looked at me asked my mom to step out. We left after that with my mom thinking I was making it all up. A week later I ended up in the hospital not being able to breath at all only for my psychiatrist to tell us I was having an allergic reaction to the medication Geodon or something like that
Moms think doctors know everything and are always right 🤦♂️
My grandma's the same way, what the doctor says is law. She follows it to a T. They told her to eat spinach to help get her iron up and all she ate FOR A YEAR was spinach. Did more harm than good, she ended up raising her iron to dangerous levels. 😅doctors aren't always right and people like my grandmother need to realize that. My grandma is obviously an extreme case, idk how many people would go as far as she did but still.
I took geodon as a kid…hated it, had side effects. No fun.
@@ashleighADDICT8029 I mean, that sounds more like grandma's fault than the doctors. The doctors probably assumed she was a normal person who would simply add spinach to her diet, not a weirdo who would go only spinach for an entire year. Yes, doctors aren't always right. They're human and can make mistakes. It's just that a doctor making a mistake can cause death.
So glad I had my appendix removed when I was 10. My cousin threw me onto the ground, I landed funny, & then there was pain. Told my mom it hurts but she said it’s bc I was rough housing. After taking a bath like an hour later, she angrily took me bc I couldn’t stop crying. I no longer share anything with my mom, especially anything health related bc she kept dismissing it.

So true story about doctors treating women different than men. My mother in law went to doctor with a sore back. They basically told her she was fine and she could take aspirin. My father in law goes to the same doctor a month later because he was actually hung over but his work required a note if he missed work. This was like 30 years ago. So he told the doctor his back hurt and asked for a note for the day. The doctor gave him pain meds and took him off work for 3 weeks. It has been proven that women have a higher pain tolerance than men because we have to go thru childbirth. So why do male doctors act like we run to them crying when we get a pin prick. If we say it hurts it’s because it hurts. I have fibromyalgia so this hits home for me because getting a doctor to actually treat it is difficult. Most want to tell u it’s in your head.
Oh women don't even know pain until they get their toe stubbed and know real pain
That makes me so mad I deal with this bs from doctors all the time and your story is wild they need to just believe us when we say we are in pain
@@erikamichael115 exactly.
I live in france and im a student nurse. A lot of time they told us about a "Mediterranean syndrome". Apparently women from this part of the world exaggerate their pain sensation and reactions, especially before or after giving birth. My school warned us multiple time that some doctors or nurses would use this as an excuse to not give medication or investigate the cause of the pain. My school told us there is no such thing as a Mediterranean syndrome, and we should always trust our patients and believe them. They know themselves more than we do.
@@wherearetheblanketshans8501 yeah they tried to use that as an excuse not to take Fibromyalgia seriously. Now they are finding that women of childbearing years are more likely to get Fibromyalgia. It is a serious disease and it has taken years before doctors have started taking it seriously.
Fun fact: when my appendix got removed, my doctors originally thought it was a twisted fallopian tube, because I was on my period that week. I insisted that it wasn't and I was almost certain it was appendicitis, but after doing an ultrasound, they didn't see anything wrong with it. Turns out it wasn't my uterus, but it was a rare case where my appendix was only infected on the inside, and showed almost no cosmetic damage. If I hadn't kept insisting that it was my appendix, it would've ruptured in a matter of hours following the surgery. Moral of the story, not all abdominal pain is period pain :)

Thank you for acknowledging that doctors often dismiss what women have to say about their health/pain. You seem like you're a genuinely kind doctor.
Mike the white knight!
It isn’t just women, it’s men too, too often have I went in and been called a hypochondriac when I quite literally had 3 broken fingers and a dislocated wrist, with the doctor saying it’s impossible to dislocate your wrist. Yea, I’m gonna have to disagree right there chief
@@pohorex6834 while I respect your experience, and it sounds like you had a real shitty doctor, it is proven that doctors are more likely to dismiss women when they raise concerns about their health.
Honestly the conundrum is propensity of somatization which MDs can’t do much for, it’s unfortunate conundrum that could lead to overlooking red flag symptoms
@@kaylanovacek8973 I can understand it. However, I've been dismissed with pneumonia 3 times, a broken arm, leg, and wrist 2 times. It's definitely possible for both, just more common for one more than the other.
Right after Christmas 2013, I had the most unimaginable pain. I can’t describe it. I thought I was dying. My boss called 911 but by the time I arrived at the ER, my pain has subsided. They told me I had bad gas and sent me home. Later that week my doctor examined me and ordered a scan of my gallbladder. It was full of gallstones and functioning at 12%. It was removed Jan 9th. I’m still so frustrated by that ER that did nothing and sent me home.
my crohns was called period cramps for almost 10 years and now its too severe to do anything with lol and im only 22! got diagnosed last year on my 21st birthday, was finally sent to the hospital and they thought i was dying due to my appendix bursting and almost sent me into emergency surgery but no it was crohns disease, like my bio father
“My stomach is so painful doc” “Yeah that’s period cramps” “But I haven’t started my periods yet” “I’m the doctor I should know” “I’ve never been to see you before, you don’t know my medical history, I haven’t had a period before” “Who went to medical school out of the two of us?” “Well right now it looks like neither of us”
XD
Lol
Haha! You're fun!
BAHQHQHAAHHAHAHA
Is that an actual conversation?
If you're nauseous due to stress or anxiety, humming or singing stimulates the vagus nerve, triggering a parasympathetic response and easing the nausea. :-)
Luckily I’m feeling nauseous right now. Thank
I love singing, thanks for the advice :)
This explains why listening to music works so well for me
I was sad because of stress one night a singing helped me calm down!
Thank you
I laughed way to hard at that little patient joke.... I like puns
Actually, someone who I went to elementary school with could make vapor come out of their mouth without drinking water. They got in trouble in 8th grade twice, accused for smoking. It's really odd how that happens. I've always wondered what made actual "vapor" and how it ends up out of their mouth.
Literally almost died for appendicitis. Went to emerge three times and was only admitted the last time because a nurse argued with a doctor tooth and nail over admitting me. There was no sympathy either. I couldn't stop shaking and they kept asking me to stop to draw blood and I tried so hard but it was like massive uncontrollable shivers. Even after the ultrasound they thought it was a ectopic pregnancy and didn't believe me when I told them I was a virgin (highschool at the time) now I have a massive scar running from my palvic bone to about an inch or two below my belly button and drainage scars where tubes were left in for some time after the surgery. Not fun but super thankful for that female nurse! She literally fought for my life
The doctors also nearly killed my sister when she had appenditis! She was 4 and she couldn't walk by the time she was admitted. It was so scary and she was in hospital for 3 weeks. My parents and another doctor had to fight for her life. Doctors should really start taking things like those more seriously before they kill/nearly kill more people. I hope you're doing well after the whole ordeal because I can't imagine going through something like it myself :)
This happened to me like 3 times I went to the hospital with appendicitis but I never even had it, I just had a really bad pain in my stomach but I’d have other symptoms of appendicitis like they said a blackout and such, never had it though.
My doctors wouldn't believe that I couldn't be pregnant either. They kept asking and asking and asking and I was like, NO, just do something! I had a large ovarian cyst.
I finally persuaded a friend of mine with abdominal pain to let me take her to the urgent care center. They examined her, told her she needed to go to the ER because they were pretty sure it was something they couldn't handle at the urgent care center and they had called the ER to expect us and she should be seen immediately. I had been pretty sure she had a hot appendix from the beginning, but that sealed the deal for me. The triage nurse was *not* impressed at all. She claimed Urgent Care never called the ER and made us wait. We waited until all the people ahead of us had been seen, then we waited until everyone who came after us was seen. They made us wait for a gal who came in after us and who had a sprained ankle and they made us wait until after a guy with no money and no medical insurance and who came in after us got a cast cut off his arm. Finally, after we had been there for 4 freaking hours, everyone who came in after us had been seen, and gone home and we had sat in the waiting room with no one else there and all the exam rooms sitting empty for 30 minutes the triage nurse let us go back to see the doctor. My friend had appendicitis, was admitted, and surgery scheduled for 11 am. At 8 am they drew blood, discovered her appendix had started leaking the pus and infection into her abdomen, and moved her surgery time to 9:30. The triage nurse had told the ER doctor my friend was obviously drug seeking and had nothing wrong with her, but she had to send my friend back to be examined per state law and hospital regulations.
I went through 3 hospitals before a children's hospital finally took me in when my appendix yeeted, I was about 16 when that happened, I actually almost died because I thought it was a pain that would go away and lol it didn't till my mom saw I wasn't ok.
Women DO sometimes ignore appendicitis pain thinking it's period cramps. A girl in my college psych class took the whole class in pain thinking it was just her cramps. When it didn't let up after 12 hours she went to get it checked out. Told us all when she came back that if the pain had fluctuated and let up from time to time she would have died because it felt less bad overall then her regular cramps.
That was me, except with a kidney stone. I just kind of vibed until I lost all my fluids from vomiting and couldn't walk anymore :/
I might be dumb but I heard recently that periods are not supposed to be as painful as everyone has them. I heard sometimes it’s caused by uterine fibroids? I’m not a doctor just another uterus-haver concerned for us!!
Appendicitis doesn't feel like period cramps it feels like an abscess if you know what an abscess feels like.
@@DeathnoteBB For me at least, my extreme cramping is caused by endometriosis :(
This is why I take birth control constantly and only have a period once a year!
I actually met someone who could produce water vapor from their mouth on command. They did a lot of weird breathing and mouth movements, but it was a small amount, not a ton like that. Still cool though.
I knew someone who could turn their saliva into a mist, they'd blow their cheeks up real big, then compress with their hands, some tongue clicking, then they open and a small fog rolls out
The video looked like vape though
It’s pretty easy when you learn how to do it, it works pretty well.
Literally the alcohol thing is so valid. I had nurses give me alcohol prep pads when I was nauseated after surgery and it was great!
"WOMEN don't mistake appendix pain for period cramps, DOCTORS do." You're half right. Our doctors frequently do blow us off or ignore us, especially those of us who have horrific cramps, but a lot of us DO mistake more serious things for period cramps. When you're used to hearing that things like appendicitis are the worst pain ever, but the pain you're experiencing is on par with what you deal with every month, you're not going to think it's anything to worry about. I have endometriosis. I could 100% see myself not realizing I had appendicitis.
then theres me, who thinks every period cramp i get is appendicitis lol. Minor pain in the right side can be so many things. Probably the best advice i got from a doctor to tell the difference is to get up, hop on each leg and hop on both. If you can do that, you're fine. Now i do it whenever i get pains. Other things i read is that it hurts to breathe/cough, you can't... er... 'pass gas', it hurts to walk (ie stretching your abdomen), and that applying pressure and taking it away causes alot of pain.
This is 100% the reason I got birth control pills. It reduced my pain 99%... until it didn't, and I had to escalate to an IUD. I don't think I have endometriosis, but I have 2 sisters who do and another with PCOS, so I can't discount it. When I had a kidney stone, the only thing that told me it wasn't a cramp was that it was a week too soon.
@@jacquelynsmith2351 This is also why I went on birth control. My registered nurse in college told me that there is no real biological necessity to actually have a period each month, so I could take the standard week of placebo pills and have one if I wanted to... or not. I 100% chose not.
Very good point. But that's why patients need to be examined. Appendicitis has signs such as guarding and rebound tenderness on examination and also other symptoms like going off food, nausea and vomiting, fever etc
@@ecocentriclife actually its advisable to have four periods a year for a healthy womb lining or you can risk endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.
When I had appendicitis, the ER doc just said it was a burst cyst without even examining me. Since I have had a burst cyst before, I knew that was wrong. It took a female resident to come in, actually listen to me and for the first time since getting to the ER (several hours have passed at this time), palpitated the area above my appendix. The pain was so severe, I launched off the bed. She promptly left to get me some pain meds and to let the doc know that I needed to be schedule for emergency surgery. I'm still mad at that first doc today and it's been over 20 years.
and you have every right to be
Bruh my mother went in for a sore throat a while back. Doctor said it was Tonsillitis. My mother laughed, and said: *Doctor, I have no tonsils.*
had the same experience as a 9 year old, severe pain in lower right quadrant of the abdomen that came on in waves, like a really serious case of nausea, parents took me to the doctors after not eating for a week, doctor said i was faking to get time off school, another week passes managed to eat half a digestive biscuit in the whole week, another visit this time to the hospital "oh he must be doing it for attention, there's no need to test him if it was serious he would be making more of a scene" at the 20 day mark had a fever that wouldn't go down, was curled up on the floor of my bedroom screaming in pain, rushed to hospital by ambulance, they tried fobbing the parents off with the "oh he probably just doesn't want to go to school tomorrow" mum said that i hadn't eaten in nearly 3 weeks and as a kid who loved his food there was something seriously wrong, parents told nothing was wrong. wasn't till my mum made a huge scene shouting at the doctor at the emergency room, demanding i got at least a scan or a doctor to actually do a physical exam she would make life very unpleasant. they gave me a ultrasound to calm my mom down, and ill never forget the panicked look on the radiographers face when he rushed out of the room and was shouting down the phone at the doctors at admitting, less than 30 mins later i was being wheeled into surgery, ruptured appendix, that had infected 40% of my small intestine, as a result have a huge scar from my right side to my belly button where they had to remove a significant chunk of my digestive system, all because they wouldn't take the complaints of a child seriously. now later in life suffering some pretty severe digestive issues all because my symptoms were waved away as attention seeking or a attempt to get out of taking a test at school. its a shame there weren't any of those no win no fee medical negligence lawyers back in the 90s, cos would have got a pretty sizeable payout considering their neglect left me less than 24 hours between being alive and being on a slab in the morgue and with serious issues even to this day 2 decades later. ever since then i have zero trust for the medical system, especially as that has been proven time and time again thanks to a recurrent shoulder dislocation i have which is getting waved off as a problem physio can fix, yet i've been doing physio for years and the problem isn't fixed, but a surgery to put in 6 stitches would likely fix the issue, but nope here's a sheet of exercises and more opioids, it will get better eventually.....honest
Reading all these stories and comparing them to my amab (and not out at the time) experience of appendicitis (went from ER waiting room to emergency surgery in one and a half hours on a holiday) makes me so incredibly angry at the medical system. Basically unless you're biologically male and white, you're screwed.
when i was getting tested for COVID the doctor told my mom we should immediately go to the emergency room to get my appendix checked and you know what my mom did? Nothing. We drove home and she completely ignored it. From time to time my side hurts (the same side the doctor was concerned about), but everyone says that if it was an appendicitis then I'd be dead by now so i guess my mom saved some gas in her tank. if it really was an appendicitis then i'd be dead and she would die soon after from the guilt. tsk.
My doctor thought I exaggerated my chest pain (btw it was rational because I was a 16yr old female) and said that it was a pulled muscle. At this time I was also having severe body oder and ph problems I was told were part of me not being clean or just my puberty. Turns out the pain and ph disruption was caused by my mediastinal teratoma tumor that collapsed my one lung and ruptured the sack on my heart. After getting emergency surgery and almost dieing did he then realize I had a high pain tolerance and to not ignore a female patients symptoms just because you think we're weak and won't because u never know whats going on inside a person who might look and act as a stereotypical teen girl I almost died because of it.
Around June 2021 started having severe chest pain. My mom got me an appointment at Nemours Childrens Hospital. They said it was muscle spasms. Around August that year they started getting worse. Afraid it was my heart, my mom scheduled another appointment with Nemours with a different doctor. He diagnosed me with severe pectus excavatum. Turns out my sternum wall was pressing on my main arteries. July 14, 2022 I went in for MIRPE. Since then, I’ve had a fricking metal rod inside my chest to correct the depression.

Shes okay now, she got a good doctor who found the cancer and treated her, but its gross to think she couldve died because the other doctors were so set in their diagnosis that they werent willing to accept anything else
I have gastroparesis and the doctors kept telling me that there was nothing wrong with me and that I was overreacting. They said my symptoms of acid reflux, and vomiting all could be resolved if I just swallowed my vomit or something.. also diagnosed me with an eating disorder when I didn't have one. When people keep telling you the same thing you start to believe it, glad they figured what it was, although it took a year to diagnose me.
@@gsivl8578 im happy youre okay now, its always so upsetting when doctors try to fight you on a diagnosis, before i was diagnosed with fibro, the doc i had told me verbatim "it is not as bad as you are making it. You are exaggerating and you need to stop." Meanwhile, i had been crying in pain for 10 hours straight, unable to move or walk. I threw a fit and they gave me an mri and a cat scan and found some cyts on my spine which are pushing on the nerves around them, causing my pain. She didnt even have the guts to come back and tell me she was wrong. She didnt come back at all. A nurse came in and said i could go home and i had to ask her what they found. Even she was bewildered by the fact that my doctor refused to come and tell me my diagnosis because she was wrong and fought me on it every step of the way. I still sit and think about how her ego was more important to her than her job or professionalism. Its not hard to tell someone you were wrong, but in my experience, doctors tend not to.
I had a multible disc prolabs on my lower back for about 6 years befor i could convince my doc to get me a MRI to confirm it. Every time i got there she keept telling me this can't be, you are to young to have that, it's probably just the muscles. Yeah and it's my muscels fault i had such pain i could only crawl on my hand's and knees trough my apartment... sure. Btw curently i have depression and everything that comes with it and i can't realy work cause of this, guess what my doc. (not the same) says, "you are to young to stop working". Well guess i need to jump in front of a train to prove it... so sad you realy have to prove everything befor people belive you... especialy if it's a doc. for mental health, how can a doc. say well he is donw bad but he is to young for this???
@@gsivl8578 I have gastroparesis also. I've had it many years and have learned to treat it mostly until I got covid. I had mostly gastric problems and a lot in the 2years since.

I’m very glad to hear that she’s okay now and that she got treatment! I have Myasthenia Gravis (among other chronic illnesses) and when I was still undiagnosed, I had a neurologist who I’d never seen before. He walked into the room and without even asking why I was there or what my symptoms are, he said “given your history with self harm, and the very quick weight loss, plus your age, this is obviously an eating disorder. The weakness is a mix of malnutrition and a psychosomatic illness. Go to an eating disorder recovery clinic.” I was seeing a GI specialist for 4 yrs at that point and had intestinal paralysis documented in my chart. Only got diagnosed almost two years later after entering a myasthenic crisis and nearly being intubated because my diaphragm became too weak.
As for the guy with the "turning water into vapor" video, what I think he did was breathing in vape vapor, holding his breath while drinking the water, making a bit of a show out of it and then exhaling the vapor again. I was curious enough to just try it out with just regularly holding my breath and now I feel silly because I don't know why it wouldn't be possible. xD
I actually remember kids in middle/high school being able to do this, just not produce as much vapor. They'd take a sip of water and sort of hyperventilate with their mouth closed and after a few huffs a little bit of vapor would come out. This dude in the video did it way faster and made way more vapor than I remember though.
I can do this, but I flick my tong with my mouth closed and it works
@Jack W yep i can do it to this day, you mix the air around with your tongue, and compress the air in your mouth, and the lower pressure when you open your mouth again makes it into vapor. Not a lot, but a little wisp
I can confirm the fact about humming!! It seems dumb but it actually helped me a lot when I felt like I was about to gag. It doesn't works every time though, like, if you ate something weird or drank too much alcohol or in general you're not feeling well
My dad used to be a fighter pilot and he can compress the air in his lungs so hard that some of the moisture in his lungs comes out as vapor. Anti-G straining maneuver. Nothing to do with boiling.
That is sick and I'm picturing people who can do that as cyborgs now
Yeah sure maybe on a cold day it doesn't and won't happen at 37°C the bodies internal temperature
cap
well, the tiktok one looked like vaping to me. Water vapor isn't that "thick"
@@Inferiis The tic tock dude was simply mistaken. It can be done by compression, clearly not by boiling, lol.
The reason she says humming to stop vomiting is because there’s a neurological study showing that humming or smiling helps surpress the gag reflex. She should’ve worded it differently but it’s true. I have gastroparesis… I know from experience

Jayus uses they/them pronouns by the way! I see a lot of people misgender/wrongly use pronouns for them. I know you-and many others-don’t know, but I’m just telling you.
Yeah I do something similar when nauseous, but I focus on breathing constantly. Won't stop you from barfing but it will delay it.
So humming suppresses the gag reflex during nervousness and fear. I believe if you have an illness or food poisoning it won't work.
westzed23 depends on how violently or forcefully your body is trying to get it out of you. So for me, gastroparesis means paralyzed stomach, it’s an illness. I’ve my gastroparesis is mild that day, humming or smiling will help prevent me from throwing up but if it’s severe that day and just forcefully trying to get the food out then yeah, nothing will stop it from happening. With food poisoning it would most likely be the forceful.
Story time: The weirdest thing that happened to me was when my mom was putting my hair in a ponytail like years ago and I started to fell nauseous so I went to sit on the toilet next thing I know I am on the floor and my mom goes “I think you just fainted” went to the ER just to find out that I have “hair-grooming fainting” or something like that now the other reason I went to the ER was also because my heart was beating weirdly but it was fine and I am also fine😃
6:14 Her tiktoks are all like “I have terrible food poisoning.” “Tap your fingernails together” “I fell and landed on a rock and now my arm is bleeding profusely.” “Recite the ABC’s backwards.” “I’m going into anaphylactic shock and my throat is closing.” “Just start tap dancing.”
No. No they're not.

On the doctors-don't-listen-to-women thing, I'd been trying for about ten years to get my uterus removed due to severe PMDD, but my physical symptoms weren't deemed serious enough. FINALLY got a doctor who determined something looked wrong inside and agreed to remove it. Operation was supposed to be laparoscopic but the fibroids were too large. Second choice was a c-section-type scar. What I woke up with was an incision that ran from pubic to AROUND and OVER THE TOP OF my belly button! I woke up to both doctors informing me that I'd had a "massive uterus" and "the ultrasound didn't do it justice." If a doctor had only listened to me earlier, I'd have had a 1.5-hr surgery instead of 4, a quick recovery instead of one taking over a year, and I'd have been spared years of PMS/PMDD symptoms equivalent to the kind that makes women throw their babies off bridges. Now I'm getting a hernia because of the surgery, so I'm having issues with moving, and new pain! Yea, doctors need to trust women's' instincts more, that's for sure.
and what did you tell them beforehand?
Even the normal amount of PMS is really really hard. I can't even imagine going to bunch of doctors, geting dismissed on top of PMS/PMDD symptoms you have... I hope you get better.

The alcohol pad for nausea actually does work! At least it did for me! After a surgery I woke up and felt very sick, so a nurse gave me an alcohol swab and told me to smell it, I didn’t feel nauseous anymore!
4:55 I’m deaf in one ear soooooo......half right....literally and figuratively

The appendix one made me remember my appendicitis story, I could hardly walk one day but I wasn't really in pain, mostly confused. Then like 2 weeks later it happened again and my folks took me to the walk-in clinic and the doctor, throughout some tests, kept saying "no way it's appendicitis. There is no way." because I wasn't responding to any of the symptoms or tests, but then they tested my blood... Myself and my grandparents were outside in the car waiting for the results, then they called. "GET HER TO THE ER /NOW/" and it turns out not only did I have appendicitis... It had been ruptured for TWO WEEKS.
Once your appendix ruptures, it doesn’t really hurt anymore. You were septic for sure by then, and that’s probably what they saw in the blood test.
@@Owen_loves_Butters oh didn't know that was the term, I was told that the only reason I survived was because fat tissue had surrounded the appendix before it had ruptured so the toxins were all contained
@@hazbinotakusimp2182 Yeah, most patients die within hours of a rupture like that from "Septic Shock"... You were still septic, so a round of treatments for that on top of surgery... It's that the fat that seemed to contain it, slowed the process so you didn't go into shock immediately... It's important to point out that not every appendix rupture is quite the same... Some folks get in bad enough shape before it goes that when it does, it's almost like a miniature bomb going off... Others only get a little bit of a tear and it just starts leaking slow... If I recall correctly, Harry Houdini took a couple weeks for it to finally kill him, and he even went on stage to perform after it burst... from a punch to his gut {another of the "tricks" he was famed for}... ;o)

How long were you in for sepsis?
Had a male ENT make me get tests over two years to tell me a lump was a simple lymph node. He'd been in the field for 30 years. CAT scan, MRI, needle aspiration--whole nine yards. Got a second opinion and the doctor took one look and said 'that's a pleomorphic adenoma, that's a tumor--it has to come out'. Thankfully it was benign, BUT because it took so long to get tested PROPERLY, the tumor started growing into my nerves, and now six years later I still have facial paralysis. I also went to the doctor several times for recurring BV and as it turns out, my vagina is twisted so can't clean properly. Male doctors told me that I was unhygienic and probably had too many sexual partners (I had 0 at the time). Female gyno took one look, got me an ultrasound, and found the issue within a 10 minute trip. FEMALES, ALWAYS GET SECOND OPINIONS.

The brain is the only organ that can't be replaced while preserving the person. ;)
Well actually a head transplant was alteady performed so that counts
Thank you! I wanted to write exactly the same
@@maikbam2827 That definitely doesn't count. When doing a head Transplantation you just replace the whole rest of the body, not the brain or the head. What you suggest would mean that if you perform a successful head Transplantation, the person waking up would have to have the personality and all of the traits of the body's, not the brain's, person. That doesn't happen because the brain defines the human. That's why per definition you don't really do a transplantation of the head when doing so but rather of the rest of the body.

I really enjoyed seeing the “Where did you get it? Why’s it in a bucket?” Thing again.
Dr. Mike, I literally deal with that problem every day I close one ear I can hear better than the other
I remembered when my sister was in terrible abdominal pain and she was throwing up pretty badly, when we took her to the hospital and did some x-rays, doctor said she just have ovarian infection and brushed her condition off, two months later with her condition still going worse and worse we took her to another hospital and they saw her liver's size was strangely enlarged, further investigation and it turns out she has a rare aggressive tumor Sarcoma soft tissue in her liver growing, she battled hard and strong from 2008 until 2019. Bless her soul she suffered a lot. Moral of the story, doctors should investigate with better care rather than throw vague assumptions just cause they deal with daily normal cases everyday, every patient should be treated as anew case rather than "oh a woman? must be her ovaries!"
To be fair to doctors, it's hard not to default to an Occam's Razor conclusion. It's so infrequently ever a tropical disease or a rare tumor, that it's easy to dismiss. When something only happens less than 1% of cases, the first instinct is the more common, less serious prognosis. That doesn't help your sister since she WAS that rare case, but the hundreds or thousands of people who complained about a similar situation were likely less sever infections or issues. It's sad, but that's the reason why it's so important to be or to have strong advocates for our health. We need to keep pushing or have someone advocate for us when we aren't well. You never know when it is that more serious small chance case.
@@kevinbarnard355 Yeah I totally agree with this. The problem isn't that medical doctors who have went through so many years of medical school, training, and experience are dismissive, it's really about being an advocate for yourself because it's not helpful to tend to go to the extreme conclusion when most people suffer simple problems.
Glad she’s ok
I'm so sorry for you, I hope she's in a better place, if it exists
OMG I am seriously so sorry and I know how it feels my sister died from Cancer!!! Hope your doing well
The guy talking about appendicitis and women ignoring it thinking it's period cramps - it's not just the doctors, Mike, it is the women as well. I'm fortunate enough to have never had appendicitis, but I know that some women have cramps so bad that, if they get appendicitis, they just assume it's cramps and treat it the same. But also good point on doctors not believing patients, I've heard so many stories omg.
I still remember a girl at summer camp who almost died because the counselors thought she was just being a wimp over menstrual cramps. She lost consciousness and barely made it to a hospital in time. She looked awful when I saw them rush her out of camp. Almost no color her face and completely unresponsive.
But yeah, I have absolutely agonizing cramps sometimes. When I rate pain on a scale, migraines and cramps are basically what I compare things to as being close to a ten. Easily the worst pains I've ever experienced so far. Like, on the floor in a fetal position, rocking back and forth, and barely able to speak kind of pain.
🙋🏻♀️ survivor of this very thing here. I had extremely bad cramps as a teen (due to endometriosis), and BOTH the GP and I missed that the new pain I was feeling was actually my appendix about to burst. Only reason I’m here today is because of a VERY good surgical resident with awesome instincts who refused to let me leave until she ran another blood panel on me after finding out the pain had suddenly gone through the roof & then pretty much completely stopped not long after coming into the ER. I spent eight and a half weeks in the hospital fighting the infection, five of which I was in the ICU. My heart actually stopped 3 times due to the infection - I’d developed pericarditis from the peritonitis, (sounds like a bad pun, right?!), and I had to be sedated, put onto a respirator and undergo twice weekly dialysis for most of my stay in an effort to give my body a break while they threw every drug they could at the infection in an attempt to eradicate it. I’m grateful for every day I’ve had since then, and I can never thank that tenacious resident enough.
@@Caninecancersucksrocks omg! That's a crazy story... Thank God he was there in the right time and place to help you.
@@VictoriaWalker8thanks, I was very, very lucky. The resident was a “She” actually - oddly enough, what’s stuck with me the most wasn’t just that she’d saved me…I don’t remember very much prior to waking up in the ICU, but I DEFINITELY remember watching her stand up to a bunch of derisive, extremely misogynistic males that she was surrounded by there (this was mid-80’s). She had to actually go *against* her attending’s orders (😬😥) to get that lifesaving blood panel done - it easily could’ve ended her career before it started, right then & there, as it was a big no no for her to have acted as she did.

The ER docs were trying to blow it off as period cramps but she'd had her period the week before. They did a blood test...and her appendix was shot. They told her it was weird that she felt it because it was so early in the process that she shouldn't have felt it yet.

I had a ganglion cyst In my tricep back in 2001. I was clocking in to my job at a movie theater and felt the lump. I panicked and thought it was cancer. When I went to the ER that night, the doctor said before he even saw it , "it's not cancer." Then turned my arm over to tell me it was a Ganglion cyst. I asked him how he knew I thought I had cancer. He told me that when any person feels a lump they automatically think it's cancer.

Actually, people with auditory processing disorders find that listening to sounds through one ear makes them more understandable than with the other
GenZs as doctors : " so we found something in your brain that be looking hella sus, you might have a brain tumour" " go live your best life bestie "
Isn't that just focus?
I cannot take phone calls through my right ear even with my hearing aids. I have to “squint” with my ears so much and it still is so hard to understand what is being said. I don’t know if it is just because of my specific auditory processing disorder which was caused by a concussion or if it is because I took phone calls using my left ear my whole life (I am left handed) so it got super strong at processing. I have no hearing loss (perfect hearing acuity) just auditory processing disorder.
Facts, idk if i have an auditory processing disorder, but I do have adhd, and its way easier to hear someone talking with my right ear. I'm not sure if its because I tend to sit on the left side of the classroom, or if I unconsciously always sit on the left side of the classroom because its easier to hear and understand. As a result I almost always use my left ear for music
i have great hearing, my mom is partially deaf so i do all the listening for her. but when i take off my glasses, somehow my hearing gets worse. once i broke my glasses and couldnt get new ones for a while. when people call my name, its like it doesnt even register. and if you are talking to me, i cant tell which direction youre talking from and if youre far or close. its really really weird. i cant function without my glasses at all because my hearing somehow gets worse, and i can only see a few inches in front of my face
Your left and right ears really do have different functions though. The left ear takes in sound from the left side, and the right ear takes in sound from the right side. It allows you to have an idea of what direction a sound is coming from.
Ah, technically correct... The best kind of correct.
Big brain moment Love it
I do feel like there is a difference though... I use one of those single-ear bluetooth headsets pretty much day in day out. When I have it in my right ear, there is basically zero effort required to follow what is being said on a phone call or podcast I am listening to, even in noisy environments. If I put it in my left ear, it feels like so much more effort required just to parse the speech and it's much easier to loose track and I'm unable to sort of quick-rewind in my head to re-analze what was said a second ago...
That's not functioning differently. That's hearing sounds from one side or the other. A function both ears have.
@@Wheelz627 you can't hear from the left side with your right ear, because the left side will always be on your left, and the right side will always be on your right. Oh, you're gonna turn your head to hear what's happening on the right with your left year? The right side is now the left side. 🧐🧐🧐
the alcohol thing to stop nausea works. awhile back I had a trip to the ER in the back of an ambulance, and I was super nauseous, and this is something the EMT's had me do - they gave me alcohol wipes to hold under my nose. can confirm.
Hello! I can explain the one with the arm lengthning. You usually don’t have your arms straight when you put them up! When you do the thing your arm will most likely get straighter making the illusion of your arm growing right before your eyes😁
Kudos to the editor who captures your inner-most feelings doctor.
the editing has been so good lately! the editors are on fire
Just throwing this out here, smelling alcohol wipes really DOES help with nausea. When I’ve been admitted, the pregnant nurses would walk around with alcohol wipes to help maintain nausea!
I was just coming down here to say that this is true. I actually use it myself for nausea because of some gastric issues that frequently cause nausea. It totally works and I’ve read about it being used in ER’s.
I've also heard that too, but never tried it myself to find out
Yeah, totally works... the problem is when your body really needs to expell something. This one time I had food poisoning but kept myself from vomiting by smelling alcohol, just prolonged my ailment... but eventually the alcohol life hack didnt work anymore D:
Thank you for sharing! I would advise if someone is often nauseated with no known cause though, they should see a doctor, rather than continue to stave off the nausea over and over.
Yep, always get incredulous looks when I suggest this to patients in the ER. Doesn't work for everyone, but it's certainly worth a try.
I was sent home from the ER after coming in for excruciating pain and vomiting without tests or care. Got prescribed pepsid and sent home with a diagnosis of GERD. The next night I was back with worse pain and vomiting. A few hours later I was in the OR getting my gallbladder removed lol. First doc who dismissed me was a lady. Second who helped was a gentleman. The staff was confused why a 19yo girl had gallstones so that may explain the misdiagnosis but doesn’t excuse it.

The dog with a bag over its head is very dangerous. I’ve had clients who’ve lost dogs to coming home found that they got into the pantry and suffocated from having chip bag over their head and being unable to remove it.
Absolutely. Even large dogs die this way, they just don't have the range of motion and awareness we do. Hoping more people will upvote your comment for awareness
Thankfully the owner was right there, but yeah incredibly scary 😟🥺 but yeah very scary for pets.
I witnessed my cat running around with a platic bag covering its head, my cat survived and was perfectly fine but its quite the scare at 3am when you just want a glass of water.
One of my old dogs got his head stuck in an ice cream container (plain vanilla! We kept any trace of chocolate away from him) and then he got stuck in a corner, and then just stood there, whining. We had to tug him out of the corner to get the canister off his head
The rubbing alcohol thing is absolutely true. I was having a lot of nausea after my back surgery and due to the anti-nausea medication making me so dizzy I had a panic attack, and some other complications, they called my surgeon in. He handed me an alcohol package and told me to sniff it. I had the exact same look on my face as you and he said "just try it". I did and my nausea was gone instantly. It's very temporary though.
You can come back from your heart stopping, but, you can't come back if the brain dies.
I heard about smelling rubbing alcohol to keep nausea at bay before. In a SciShow video too! IIRC they said that patients that did chemo would often use that as advised by hospital staff and that some study considered it just as good as taking anti-nausea medication.
And works instantly, too! Pretty good as short term relief
And when I was in a hospital in Costa Rica they did that to me too.
my aunts gave me a cotton ball dabbed with rubbing alcohol for when i had a stomach infection that made me puke every 10 mins. it actually worked pretty well and fortunately i like the smell of rubbing alcohol
I use it preclinically and it often works. At worst, it's an inexpensive and accessible placebo.
Yup this is true. There have been a couple studies showing it's as good or better than Zofran (in the acute setting). Look up "Inhaled isopropyl alcohol for nausea and vomiting in the emergency department" :)
That girl did amazing to survive if it was necrotizing fascitis. My mom had that back in 2017 and needed emergency surgery to remove the dead tissue. When she got through the op, they told us only 2 out of every 5 cases survives initially and the reinfection rates are sky high. Sadly, she did get it again and passed from multiple organ failure because of it last year. We got lucky the doctor had even heard of it the first time round and he was able to help her and bought us 3 more years with her
I hope a miracle happens and it extends to as many years as u want to spend time with her
LOL at the crushing the cyst with a textbook. My mom was a nurse in the 70s and definitely used that trick on my dad to get him to stop complaining about a cyst in his arm hahaha
