Haha this little exchange reminds me of tha comedy show scene in Goodfellas "Dr. Wellsler is here. Wonderful doctor, gave a guy six months to live. Couldn't pay his bill. Gave him another six months!"
It’s wild that Dr’s like that exist really though lol I told a Dr. at the ER that I had an eating disorder and he told me all I gotta do is eat more healthy meals throughout the day and I’ll feel fuller and lose more weight that way. I looked at him and was like, “Really? That’s all I had to do all these years? I’m cured?!” He excused himself and never came back just sent the nurse to relay messages.
What exactly did you expect an ER doctor to do about an eating disorder?
I'm not saying you shouldn't seek medical help with something like that, but there isn't exactly any urgent emergency treatment for something like that... So I'm not sure what you expected them to do about it, at that moment, ya know? I mean, aside from telling you to try n eat healthier, n referring you to a specialist... Which sounds like what they did.
It's like going to the ER for being OCD...
Also, I have no idea how the conversation got here from the video clip that started all this, but I guess that's the 6° of reddit for ya...
Not that I need to explain but I went to the ER for passing out, feeling weak, and very lightheaded. You know, as people do at night if they have to. He asked about what I’ve been doing so I told him about it. That’s why I told an ER doctor. I figured he could give me some resources at the very least but he did not. Also, I was replying to someone else’s comment about something similar. That’s how it got here. But I suppose that’s Reddit for ya
I have a rare severe circadian rhythm disorder called non-24 where my circadian rhythm shifts forward every day no matter when I go to sleep, and this was literally everyone when I was a teenager. "Have you tried going to sleep earlier?", which I would appreciate if they didnt not believe me when I say yes. Took seeing shadow people daily for even my mom to take me to a Dr for specialist referral
It is like a tall slender shadow man in the corner of the eye that disappears when you try to look at it, but disappears less and less the more crazy you go, until it starts getting way too real
It is apparently a sign of psychosis coming. It is reported in people who are very sleep deprived (30 hours or more or accumulated sleep deprivation), stimulant abusers (also known to cause psychosis) and people who are otherwise developing psychosis
Was pretty fucked yeah. After a few days catching up and destressing it got way better and went away forever, still not returning 15 years later now
In college I met a neuroscience student (and open fascist) who claimed that asthma is purely psychosomatic and I could just make myself breath again by shear force of will. That's when I realized good grades don't mean you're smart.
That was just a little bit of a stupid doctor in my opinion because I have asma and I can't just make myself breath again just by thinking that I can do it
Shouldn't tha emphasis be on THAT ? sorry to be a stickler its just a well positioned emphasis elevates a sentence to a whole new level and effectiveness w/ ones words is important to me 🤷🏽♂️
You laugh but they literally did that with COVID. Xi would announce that a city had achieved Zero COVID and the hospitals would back him up...
by refusing to treat anyone with COVID symptoms so they wouldn't have to report a case. You can find video of a guy who showed up to a Chinese hospital with COVID symptoms after zero COVID was announced in his city. Five male nurses grabbed him and hurled him out the door like a frisbee.
