    I'm a physical therapist. I once had a patient presenting for evaluation of back pain. I took a thorough history, and she assured me there was nothing else noteworthy in her medical history. Upon physical examination, she flinched when I palpated a certain region in her thorax. I asked what was wrong, and she said, "Oh, it's fine. That's just my gunshot wound." Excuse me? You're having pain sufficient to cause you to seek medical care, and you forgot to mention that you have a gunshot wound?!

My rheumatologist said to me the very first time I saw him that while we have the different specialties, all the systems of the body work together, so you cant always just treat one of them. As it is, my rheumatologist treats my arthritis and my psoriasis because a lot of the medications work for both issues.

    Wonder if there are WTF stories the other way around? For example, when I went in for back surgery, there was a person in the bed next to me in the pre surgery area. Her anesthesiologist came in and explained everything soup to nuts. A while later the anesthesiologist for my case comes in, barely audible, says his name, asks me to open my mouth and say “ahh”, then knocks me out. Thank goodness I heard what that other patients doctor said, otherwise I wouldn’t have been prepared for the sore throat for the next few days.

    Don't feel small for patients not telling you their entire histories. I'm one of those patients and my reasoning is, I don't want to have to repeat myself over and over again in general but also when you tell multiple people the same thing, I've found out it's like the game of telephone and it can be distorted by the end of it. For example I was involved in a rear end car accident while pregnant pregnant while at the emergency room after the accident I had told the nurse that I was having back pain, however my biggest concern was making sure my baby was okay. But somehow by the time the doctor came in to see me, and the nurses had changed hands, there was no mention of my back pain at all so I left still in pain and when I went to my primary care doctor the next day to get help I found out I had a broken rib.

    2007 - the wrost year of my life. Diagnosed mercury poisoning and MASSIVE anxiety. NO doctor I went (11 total) could figure it out. They would do their little blood tests and said I was perfect, yet evreyday from 2007 to 2010 I woke up feeling like I had the flu. Problem was low body temp, but I had an appetite. Contempleted offing myself 100 times. Finally I got to a doc who put me on Zoloft. I was about to go out of my mind. After 6 months symptoms subsided. Lost my career, my girlfriend, almost my sanity. Never again. Hell Ill diagnose myself.

    I went to the ER with a ruptured esophagus from a sexual encounter. I was worried about it and told them the truth. They treated me at the front desk like I was some dumb girl with a sore throat exaggerating. Turns out I was rapidly bleeding and taking air into my chest cavity. Almost died. Ended up on a feeding tube thru my stomach for a couple months after. Giant throat scar. I tell people the stomach scar is my “gunshot wound” and my neck was a run in with a dinosaur…it’s usually enough to end the conversation.

    I think you hit on some very important points. Patients don't know what they should be communicating is a big one. You also mentioned the alcoholic drinking a case of beer. He considered that "as not much alcohol". That was not much according to him, so perspective and context is important in conversation. Many patients withhold information because of shame or fear of being judged. All of these factors create big gaps in communication and understanding. As nurses(myself), doctors and other healthcare professionals we have to take all of this and more into consideration and keep improving our interviewing skills. Bias stigma and judgment are huge barriers that patients face concerning some but not limited to illnesses like addiction and mental illness. Education and training for ALL healthcare professionals is desperately needed to overcome and understand this in order to better care for our patients.

    Patients have way better wtf moments. I have almost died because doctors don't understand my issues. I have EDS and have had two dissections. And every single time I needed to push for imaging. I had an EMT who also decided I wasn't having heart problems then just dumped me in the ER, but I was having a heart attack so when my partner drove me to another ER they had to clean up the mess. The amount of times I've been dismissed when I did have something going on is so high I question how this system doesn't end in early death for someone. My last dissection, it took 2 trips to the ER before someone would listen. And I knew exactly what it was That's the thing as I already had the first dissection. Just needed the CT and pain meds.

    That is correct. Ligation fail, and there are tumors that can exist that make the body pump out pregnancy hormones (even, rarely, in biological men...rare tumor). That they did the test means they were gathering all possible information to deduce an answer, ruling out more than mere pregnancy. To not have done that test would have been iffy. Medicine (and the wonders of the human body) is fascinating!

    @@d-meth Yes, the provider needs to answer the question for a number of medical legal reasons. A huge majority of patients will give an accurate, honest and rock solid history and you can believe them when they say there’s no chance of pregnancy. Even if you do believe them, most providers will still await a pregnancy test result before doing a CT scan of the pelvis for example. Consider another scenario where a 15 year old girl is asked if there’s any chance she’s pregnant. In many cases she’ll be blindsided by the question and there’s a good likelihood her answer is incorrect. Consider also a person who has a substance abuse history, mental health history or just plain isn’t all that medically savvy. They may tell you they can’t get pregnant, that they’ve had a tubal or a hyster when in fact that history is wrong for whatever reason. How many times have you read the story of a patient going into labor that had no clue they were pregnant? Or their partner has had a vasectomy and we know that vasectomies never fail. Or a patient is in the room with their partner who has had a vasectomy so there is no chance she could be pregnant but she’s having an affair…. So yes, the onus is on the provider.

    When I was in nursing school, I was assigned to care for a pregnant lady over a period of weeks. Turned out that her husband was in Iraq so the baby wasn’t his. She never told me this even when she developed postpartum depression. My OB-GYN instructor got mad at me because I didn’t know this detail of her history. She wasn’t obligated to tell me or her MD of this detail. All the medical personnel could have intervened more effectively had she told us the whole story , but I was not an interrogator only a Student Nurse trying to complete my assignment so I was really upset since this situation nearly caused me to fail this part of my clinical rotations.

    I fell apart after my Husband passed on 6-1-2013. I started with breathing problems after total knee replacement. Every time I turned around I wasn’t able to breathe even with oxygen. My lungs were always blamed. At times I coughed up blood. Many hospital stays, heart unit, icu n medical floor. Tests to check my heart showed everything was ok. Finally, they found that I had mitral regurgitation. Had tests to see how it was. I had 2 TEEs that showed it was mild. Sent to surgeon n he wanted to cancel because my heart condition was mild. I couldn’t walk 16 steps from my bed to the toilet without heavy, heavy breathing. They called back n said head on up. My surgeon is excellent. He told my Daughter that it was a miracle that I was alive. He said blood was going everywhere. I had to have a blood transfusion. Open heart surgery was 9-23-18. My heart is perfect now. Other illnesses n things happened to me. I carry 3 sheets of paper with me, medications n pharmacy info., diagnosis n surgeries n physicians full names n phone numbers. They love the organization, I laugh n say I have to have lists because I’ll forget half of it lol😂. I’m fairly new to your you tube. I’ve learned from them. Plus very informative.

    It's hard to give a doctor accurate medical history when you get only 7 minutes with them. I took Cipro for a UTI in 2010 and it caused multiple tendon and ligament ruptures and damage to my spine. Last week I had my 31st surgery since 2010. Most of them have been for my joints and spine. The patient history only lets you enter 15 surgeries and then the virtual chart doesn't let you enter any more. I couldn't even list the other 16 major surgeries in their system. The medical system just isn't set up to allow in depth history to be given and I struggle with prioritizing what needs to be shared in the 7-15 minute appointment with a new doc. Also, a doc's face glazes over about 3 minutes into explaining that this is all due to having taken a Fluoroquinolone antibiotic; despite extensive warnings published by the FDA.

    A lot of patient unhappiness with the US health system is due to costs. That's their priority, not stellar patient care. It's frustrating for providers since they're expected to see x number of patients, regardless of how complicated they are. HMO's and hospitals are always looking for ways to save money- 'maybe listen to your staff- they can give you plenty of ways to do that.' Communication is key. Some patients don't go to reliable sources to get medical information, some look too much for just for the worst case scenario. So they end up up asking for meds that are advertised on TV ( that really needs to go away) which won't be approved by their insurance, or ask for tests that are very expensive and unnecessary.

However, I wouldn't have known that being apart of the healthcare provider team (Doctor's/PAs/NPs) was what I really wanted in the end without being a PCT first and being in nursing school

    Also, I recommend starting on a medical-surgical floor, you'll get a decent cross-section of a variety of patients and then try and get onto a float pool (pool of staff that can be sent to work different departments like the ED/Cardiac/ICU/Oncology/OB/GYN, etc) so you can feel what different departments are like and what fits you best!

    I'm in just one minute of this video and I have to comment! You make an appointment and you are asked what it's about so you state something as briefly as possible. You arrive and the nurse asks you all about why you are there and you tell your story. Then the doctor comes in and you assume the nurse has relayed your information to them. He asks again so you, not feeling well, go through it a third time and leave out something thinking you have told them because you already told two other people. Why the hell do you medical people do this?! If I knew what questions the doctor wants answered I'd be better prepared to answer. I don't know what's important or not. And we are rushed all the time so I feel like I shouldn't be taking up so much of the doctor's time. Do not put the blame on the patient for not having a medical education! And don't expect us to have complete and hurried recall the instant you ask for information. It's all such poor communication when communication is so vital. It's your fault, not ours.

    Tip for this! Write down symptoms you've had, and ask to speak to the doctor. Give the nurse an idea of it, but just tell them you'd prefer to ask the provider questions instead. Doesn't offend anyone and you can keep your list of important questions/information to remind you of everything

    @@mydogisoscarthegrouch I write a complete narrative, printed out with copies for the nurse and doctor each time I see a doctor in order to keep them from rushing me and to make clear as much information as I can guess is relevant and more. They seem to get annoyed when I include something that is not important. I do this mostly defensively, not to help the doctor, but to force him or her to hear me and remember what I wrote. How many times do patients say that they feel their doctor is not listening to them? I've had doctors get it wrong, maybe confusing me with other patients (forgivable) or wanting to simply put me in a common category in order to dismiss me; I tell them to read my previous and current narratives.

The whole system is a horrible mess, but what power do patients have? They are sick or injured and at a disadvantage.

True story Wall Street had Kiosks all year round that sold not only hot dog and sausage and ice cream but Pasteles and alcapurrias etc. These I think are now sold frozen and precooked.
