My mom was a family doctor for many years, and she had her fair share of crazy stories. One that always stood out to me was the patient that insisted her heart had stopped beating. MY mother asked for how long, and the woman replied TWO WEEKS. My mom couldn't help herself and commented that that was her first time speaking to a zombie. The woman was confused, and then my mom proceeded to explain that, if your heart stops, so does your life. She patiently helped the woman use the stethoscope to listen to her own heart, and taught her that the sound meant her heart was very much alive and well. The woman thanked her and went home xD

My father has a similar story but it's not as wholesome.

My father gets confused as no one had died. He finds out that this sweet old lady called them saying she died and needed to be buried. My dad tries to talk to her and informs her that she is not dead. She believed she was in heaven and refused to drink or eat because she's already dead. My father asks her why he was in heaven too and she promptly replied "you're right you shouldn't be in heaven" which wasn't exactly what he hoped for. She died eventually but I just hope she doesn't sit in front of heavens gate arguing that she is still alive.

UN-believable!

Anesthesiologists are the most highly trained and most highly paid of all specialist doctors. Their job is extremely stressful because being under anesthesia is not the same as being asleep or even sedated. Being under general anesthesia is quite literally being on the edge of death. The anesthesiologist must keep you under enough so you don't feel any pain, yet not so far under that you slip from the edge of death to actually being dead. It is probably the most difficult job in the medical profession, even harder than brain surgery.

I had been doing that, for over a month and it had gotten more painful and swollen. I went online to see if there's any way I could drain this thing myself, and found the answer. Light two wooden matches, drop them inside a glass bottle and immediately put the mouth of the bottle over the abscess. It worked! The burning matches created a vacuum which caused it to pop and drain. I had to do it a few times to get it all, but it healed after that.

Had one idiot (had the title of 'Chief Orthopedic Surgeon'!) Who walked into the waiting room about an hour after we were sent in, almost two hours after the scheduled appointment, through up a month old x-ray, said nothing wrong here and started to leave. He had not looked at me or my mother, and had not actually said a word to us... Took TWO HOURS! of basically screaming at him to get him to actually take a look at me and see that my scoliosis had about a 20-30 degree increase in curvature over a 1 month period... Seriously, at that point my spine looked like a bow at full draw. My right shoulder was more than 2 full inches higher than my left shoulder. FINALLY got him to do a second x-ray, about an hour later he threw the new one up next to the old one he first looked at, turned around, and asked if my mom would ALLOW him to do the bone scan we had been TRYING to get him to take for THREE HOURS NOW! as if it was his own idea and we were going to object to it... Turns out I had a fairly large, fast growing tumor in my lower spine, and I probably would not have been able to force myself out of bed for much longer if we had allowed him to blow us off like he attempted to do. The EXACT tumor our chiropractor had suggested it may be and we had been trying to get him to check for the entire time... Also, two different doctors who wanted to give me inhalers to open up airways blocked by a constricted throat, when my complaint was that I could get air into my lungs just fine, I just felt like I could not get any oxygen out of that air sometimes. I passed lung capacity tests just fine while the problem was occurring. All the inhalers did was make me feel like someone had attached a live electrical wire to my face/teeth...

My new doctor (my usual one has retired at the end of last year) seems nice enough, prescribed more muscle relaxants, which do nothing, but seemed concerned and somewhat willing to look further (but since he was filling in for my now retired doctor and seeing his own patients and it was already about an hour after the medical centre should have closed, I have to wait another 2 weeks to see him again... And that's because he made the appointment himself, if going through normal routes it'd take about 3 months!).

I warn them before hand, I beg them to find the vein first, _and _*_then_* poke... but it just kept happening. I finally got a port put in, every doctor and nurse from every medical facility will start tripping over each other just to come up with reasons they _can't_ use the port... and they usually don't. They literally place an ultimatum, they've given no reason, they _refuse_ to give a reason, but they won't use the port and I have to let them use me as a sewing machine or they won't do the surgery, or whatever's going on. Anyhow, after poking "too many holes" in one side, they just casually say "Let's try the other side." and I'll ask for someone _else._ And they'll just look at me like I have three heads, "I want someone who will at least _attempt_ to find the vein first, and _then_ stick the needle in. Not just stab me and fish around for the vein." Now, usually there'll be a breif wave of sanity and I'll get someone else at this point, but one nurse actually tried gaslighting me and said in the sweetest voice "I would _never_ do that." like that wasn't what she had literally just finished doing and was presumably planning to do again. It was even worse when I was giving blood, because I'm doing _them_ a favor, I'm trying to save lives because God blessed/cursed me with Type O blood; and they're doing everything in their power to keep me from coming back.

I had a similar problem, they never found my veins. And I had kind of s needle phobia worsened because of this. Then someday, after several useless attempts at my arms, one nurse switched to my hand to draw blood from there. That changed everything. It worked perfectly fine, didn't hurt (just a tiny bit, easily bearable), didn't swell up and hurt like crazy in the days after, was easy to do because of big shiny veins popping out of my hand... it was just perfect. However, at a later time somewhere else two nurses AND the doctor of a facility tried to draw blood for around 20 minutes. Right from the start I wanted them to use my hand, because as I told them, I knew from experience the arms wouldn't work, they didn't work well since several years and lately not at all! My hand was perfect for this! They completely ignored my wishes and poked a lot of holes in both my arms while my fear slowly switched more and more to frustration and anger. And pain. For two fu..ing weeks my arms were blue and black and swollen and I could barely move them, with lots of pain. In the end they had to use my hand anyways, which was a one-try thing and worked like a charm. Like I had said. The kicker to all of this was, while I very kindly (I was very introverted and shy and never really complained in an aggressive way) told them it didn't work and I would prefer the hand, for said reasons... they basically talked me down and made sexist statements like "You are whining more about drawing blood than the small girl from above (HIPA violation, anyone? they were very chatty about patients anyways...) who has it done daily." (I'm a big guy but very sensitive, btw). Yea sure, tell me more about a completely other human being with different feelings than me which you probably don't put in pain for half an hour every day, handling your stupidity better, tell me how I'm not a manly man because I "whine" when you completely ignore me and my feelings and knowledge about my body, because you are too arrogant and incapable in your field and cause tremendous physical and psychological pain. And people wonder why I have trouble trusting doctors and especially women. But this experience was my wake up call, to get more confident in demanding things done right, medically at least. Since then I always demanded it be done from my hand, and as long as I'm awake I will never let them do it to my arms again, ever. Hand or I'm out. They look funny at me when I demand it but I try to explain it in short words so they understand I'm not difficult for fun but for a good reason. Only had one single exception in the last 10 years because one needed that much blood that it would have taken forever (it wouldn't, I'm very sure, since others have done it with my hands as well, it just takes a bit longer), and she wouldn't budge. Anyways, I took it as test and told her she had one try only. She was lucky to get it at first try. However, it was still more painful during and afterwards so I'm not gonna repeat that.

The doctor left and the family sat there stunned. I said, "That's bullshit," and took my father in-law's hand. We got him some books about CHF, which I also read and got educated on the condition and what was possible. After few weeks later he calls me to say he's taking all the meds prescribed like a good boy, but that he's so fatigued he is continually dropping off to sleep. Like 5 minutes after he gets hone, he's asleep on the couch sitting up. I looked up his meds and sure enough, one had extreme drowsiness listed as its most prominent side effect. There were plenty of other drugs that would do the same job without making him sleep. He took the info to his doctor who insisted drowsiness was NOT a side effect of drug X. My dad in law grabbed the Physicians Desk Reference off the table in the exam room and looked the drug up, shoving it under the doctor's nose (as I had instructed him, if the doctor was uncooperative), and told the doctor he could change the med or dad in law would find a new doctor.

When she caught it, he obviously caught it too, and needed to be hospitalized. Her other brother, with other pre-existing conditions, had to step-up and help take care of him at the hospital, caught it as well, had complications and was also hospitalized. Both died soon after that. Today, she continues to say she has no idea how they caught it, how it was a terrible stroke of fate, and how they actually died from the other conditions they had, the doctors just wanted to list it off as covid deaths.

I'm in a similar position in my family, and yes, one medical job I worked was as a transcriptionist. I take a different attitude though. I'll tell a doctor of my experience so we can save time because I understand medical terminology; the doctor doesn't have to explain quite as much. Usually the doctor's response is a raised eyebrow but later in the conversation I'll see relieved smiles as they realize I'm not kidding and really do understand what they are talking about. I don't try to override what they are saying, and I surely don't instruct them. I do take what they say and go look it up myself. Doctors do make mistakes. I will never apologize for that as it has saved 2 family member's lives as well as my own. First time my mother-in-law was in a nursing residence and the in house doc changed and added to her meds. I checked for interactions (looking for side effects that might pop up, hoping to save her from unnecessary gi upset, etc) when I found a possible fatal interaction. Doctor blew me off, so I took it to the head nurse, who called my mom in law's GP, who blew his lid. I was entirely correct and had she taken what was prescribed it would have killed her. The GP called the in house doc in front of us and chewed him out, asking him if he got his degree off the back page of a comic book. I had never heard a doctor chew out another in front of a patient like that, but he was boiling mad and so were we. The time I was the one who's health was on the line was when a GP prescribed 12 Vicodin a day. I protested that that was way too much acetaminophen, and the GP told me to leave dosage to the doctors. Never mind that this jackarse knew I was then employed as a pharmacy technician. I took the prescription to work and handed it to my boss, who promptly did a double take and handed it back. "You can't take that. You'd kill your liver." No shit? Told her what the doctor had said to me about letting those who had big brains and degrees do their job and I should take it like a good little girl. He was just so pompous! Boss called this MD and the MD said to just fill it, like he didn't have time to listen to her either. She told him that when it comes to meds she is the HDIC ("Head Doctor In Charge,") and next time he wanted to give a patient an irresponsible dose like that, she would report him to the state medical board. "On what grounds?" he demanded. "Sheer chronic idiocy!" she shot back, and hung up. Reddit should ask about overheard calls between medical professionals. That's a list that would never end.

Nurse insisted that would not effect the BP reading. During tests, patient explained her AV valves did not function properly (as per past cardiology exam tests). Nurse informed patient SHE WAS AN RN WHO TAUGHT HEART ANATOMY, AND HUMANS DO NOT HAVE AV VALVES (think Bicuspid and Tricuspid Valves)! Same nurse informed patient later that evening tests could not find a cause for the chest pains; patient was told it might just be a "PULMONARY EMBOLISM"! (think blood clot in the lungs ... very life-threatening!) Patient told she was being released to go home. When patient was presented with discharge paperwork, she held out her arm and asked the ER nurse if she was going to remove the IV starter. There are logical reasons for intelligent patients to not automatically follow advice from medical personnel. Remember, not all medical staff graduate top-of-the-class.

I know a woman who caught Covid both before and after getting vaxxed. My wife and I both caught it after being vaxxed twice and boosted. My brother and his wife had the same experience. Meanwhile, my stepson refused the vax, and has never caught it. He works in a darned _hospital_ for crying out loud.

I feel bad for all the children who get every vac there is available. I feel bad for children who were normal until their second round of baby shots then stopped talking and reacting to others . I have multiple chemical sensitivity and refuse any vacs. I have only the few they gave in the sixties. Yes, my children had the ones required for children in the eighties. They refuse any additional vacs.

I went to a teaching hospital because of a rash that was spreading…. Some by my ear and some on my lower leg. The doctor, and his supervisor, looked behind my ear and said it’s a spider bite and gave me steroid cream. I asked “if it’s a spider bite where is the entry wound…? And what about my lower leg?” They didn’t respond and left after charging me $180. The next day my friend, who is a waitress, diagnosed it-correctly-as poison oak.

Addiction to coffee... Reminds me of when I had to explain to my grandma that if the coffee cured her headaches, it was only because said headaches were withdrawal symptoms from her coffee addiction. If coffee helped her sleep, it was because restlessness was a symptom of coffee withdrawal. I highly suggested that she replaces at least one every two cups of coffee with a glass of water.

Caffeine withdrawal sucks and doesn't get the attention it should. It can really take a few weeks to months of carefully stepping down the amount to not have side effects bad enough to severely impact you.

Doctors must hate it when the patient says “ I read on google….,”

That's why it's so perilous for a patient to suggest the diagnosis. Doctors get defensive when you, the patient, hasn't run any diagnostics and is going for a diagnosis based upon instinct, intuition and symptoms. Remember, we're simple pieces of meat as far as they're concerned

Siiiiiigh. Yep. That's life. You can't fix stupid or denial but you can educate the willing.

The comment at 5.00 about patients stopping their meds cos they felt better made me laugh. I've had real bad asthma all my life and my doctor would change my meds after an attack, I would get better on the other med and as soon as I was better, she would change me back to the other and I'd have an attack. After the fourth attack in 6 months a professor in the hospital came to ask me why my meds kept changing when clearly they should have kept me on the stronger one. I said my doc said it can give brittle bones with prolonged use, the professor said "yes in 30+ years and the way you are in and out of hospital you won't live that long" . My doctor fought against prescribing me the stronger med and wanted to keep me on becotide but the professor forced her hand. 15+ year later on ipratropium and fluticasone I have never had an attack.

What the hell with the camera moving at 100mph,I'm having a seizure.

I’m sure all these situations are frustrating for medical professionals. But it would be interesting the hear stories about patients who told their doctor something was wrong and their concerns were dismissed……only to be proven right later. My dad had an odd skin growth on his arm. His regular doc said it was nothing to worry about. Next visit months later his regular doc was on vacation so he saw a different doc who was concerned about the growth and did a biopsy. Advanced melanoma, but with treatment he survived. My mom went to her doc and said she felt like something was growing inside her, like she when she was pregnant. Since she was in her 60’s the doc dismissed her concern with, “My dear, you’re much too old to be pregnant.” Many months later later it was discovered she had a very large ovarian tumor. After surgery and chemo, still within a year she was dead.

I had a doctor in my early thirties rejected my request of ultrasound, I had to fake the symptoms and make two more visit and finally she orders it. Surprise surprise the abdominal ultrasound review that I have fatty liver, gallstone and angiomyolipoma of my left kidney. A good doctor take care of the patient a bad one would just sit in the sidelines and wait until it's too late for you to have anything done. Switch Dr ASAP if you feel like being neglected, but also be respectful and listen to their opinion. I finally found a doctor that will listen to my concern and order blood test just to see if there is a basis for further evaluation. My doctor is wonderful

Several specialists would not listen to me about how strong the pain was in my throat. They insisted it was Alergies. Finally I insisted a specialist at the hospital look at my throat while I was laying off the bed sort of upside down. I was in the operating room next morning for cancer on the back of my tonsil. By the time they removed the tonsils, the cancer turned into Lymphoma to which I had to have Chemo and radiation. I almost died because those doctors would not listen to me.

These colleague of mine told me story of one of the surgeries during his surgical residency. They were doing an emergency appendectomy on a grossly obese woman. They began the surgery and were cutting deeper and deeper through fat when all of the sudden they were looking at the surgical table. Instead of going from midline, they guesstimated and completely missed the abdominal cavity, and made a through and through hole on her side.

practical nursing student here. Most of my experiences have been when a co-worker has tried correcting me when I was right. But since i'm just a student, I don't know anything. Worked at a daycare last year. Winter, lost of snow and kids are never a good combination. This one kid (3yrs old) got hit by a snowball in the eye, a co-worker calmed them down and that was about it. The kid was very attached to me, so they kept coming to me, saying that their eye still hurt a bit. After like 4 times informing co-workers who said to just wait it out, they finally decided to call the kids parent to see if they could go to the hospital to check the eye out and come back for nap time. Turns out the kid had small rock(s) in their eye or something that could end up becoming a huge problem in the future. The kid didn't come back that day. I'm proud of myself for insisting on not waiting to get it checked. And tbh fuck those type of nurses who don't take these kinds of things seriously. A fucking snowball to the EYE isn't a thing to just sweep under a rug.

Motion sickness from that game in the background 🤢

I had a case of a woman coming to the ER with severe abdominal pain. It turned out she didn't know she was pregnant and was in labour. She had only been with her boyfriend for 5 months though. When he came to see her she showed him the baby and told him that the baby was a fast developer.
