Doctors Share DUMBEST "r/IAMVERYSMART" Patients

ass credit doctors have written it what was your dumbest r /i and varus mad patient experience are in here I see some crazy stuff but one thing that stands out was the time I was admitting a guy to the hospital I can't really remember what for but he was about 400 pounds diabetic heart disease you name it anyhow I'm at the computer going over some admission questions with him and his 10 family members who are crowded in the room with him a few minutes and he starts complaining that he's thirsty he needs something to drink right now so I get on my phone and call the nurse assistant and I said to bring in some ice water as soon as the words are out of my mouth the whole family screams n-o-o-o-o no water has allergic to water well this is gonna be a problem turns out the guy had been drinking nothing but sprite and sweet tea for years because of his water allergy the next question the wife had was where are we all supposed to sleep the whole family ten people were planning to stay at he hospital with him you can't make this sharp a related story from my friend a ginika logic oncologist basically a woman had early uterine cancer but refused surgery she wanted to explore alternative treatments like coffee enemas and meditation she somehow managed to get an audience with the Dalai Lama who told her to go back to Western treatment I'm a dental student one patient in particular is pathological liar during one visit they claimed to have gone to medical school next visit was that they did dental army last visit was that they had a PhD the patient will say things like hey Doc do you need me to move my head Mitchell or distil no I need you to move your head right hey Doc are these cavities being caused by the in aerobic pathology microbes no they are caused by you eating snacks all day and not brushing 80 plus year old patient who was declining with multiple diagnoses and about three decubitus ulcers daughter was adamant that her father be kept on his strict Paleo diet because that would supercharge his healing she had a stack of dad he simply wasn't getting enough nutrition to heal the ulcers he didn't like the diet at all by the way at some point you kind of have to stop being polite and just tell patients slash family members bluntly that you don't have time for this Sh in what you recommend and they can do what they want and just document everything it happens a lot but she sticks out all the time I'm a veterinarian and I can't tell you how many clients want to explain to me that their pets illness can be fixed if they are fed her or diet grain-free diet fish oil supplement etc sure whatever come back to me when your dog's huge mammary mass ulcer rapes and starts leaking pus everywhere and we can reevaluate how well her or diet is working to fix that this one happened to my ex-father-in-law and it's funny but it's not he was a surgeon very gentle soft-spoken guy and came out to tell them the bio see results to which they responded praise Jesus it's malignant he had to explain that malignant meant bad er RN here not a physician but you may find this interesting young adult male presence with multiple abscesses on various parts of his body states he injected his boyfriend's semen into himself trying to get pregnant he tells one of the APCs he should have gone with his original plan and tried on his dog first sight clears him he's admitted to the floor and gets IV antibiotics what oh boy it's my time to shine a guy brings his wife to the ER her leg has a 7 X 7 centimeter wound diabetic ulcer with greenish yellow pus and what looked like a few maggots now I took one look at her and referred her to the surgery department for admission but the hubby is adamant on his wife's kidney disease but doc it's just a wound you gotta fix her kidney first doc I read online the diabetes can cause kidney failure and you gotta do something for that I spent an hour convincing him that his wife would probably die before the kidney damage sat in by sepsis from the clearly infected wound optician here we had a patient who refused to let us use the tannot meter a machine for checking ocular internal pressure to diagnose glaucoma he said that puff machine gives you glaucoma and we weren't going to pull that on him he told us his father got an exam and had glaucoma after using that machine his uncle and brother also had no signs of glaucoma and after getting the puffs test both people had been diagnosed with the disease glaucoma doesn't have any outward symptoms before you start going blind this lips just told me he has a very strong familial disposition to glaucoma and refused to be tested for it not a doctor but a patient whose mother was like this the doctor had to speak to me on the site because of it my grandmother has Crohn's disease very very badly it skipped my mother and her brother when I was 15 over the course of six months I went from being 5 feet 9 and 190 pounds to being 110 I was a skeleton extremely an emic and coughing up blood my mother was convinced it was something else I forced her to bring me to a doctor and she spouted off all these possibilities she then talked about what she yahood not even Google Yahoo about genetics and such and kromm's can't skip generations well the doc said just in case we are gonna run some tests long story short I have Crohn's in my throat and small intestine so does my cousin it just skipped a generation I work for an optometrist and it was a month before school started and a woman brought in her son to have his eyes checked for the first time seems like a pretty reasonable thing for any parent even if he was a little older than usual for a first eye exam better late than never I guess the mom was well-spoken and appeared fairly intelligent everything went as normal the doctor examined the boy and ended up prescribing glasses when the doctor was explaining to the mom that a son had to wear his glasses all the time since he's nearsighted and basically can't see clearly past five feet in front of him and will definitely need glasses for school for some reason this cause switch to flip in the moment she's passed out on the doctor saying that her son doesn't need glasses and that the doctor is only saying that he does because he wants to sell glasses she says that she only brought her son in because there was some form for school that needed to be filled out and that doctors are all a con artists trying to push on necessary medications and interventions the doctor tried to calm her down and explained that he's only trying to help them but that she was free to get a second opinion and gave her a copy of the kids prescription and sent them on their way about four months later the lady is back asking for another copy of her son's prescription apparently the first semester midterm results were in and her son failed them all because he couldn't see the board in his classes and needs glasses had a young woman with recurring U T is at began after a recent partner and with no STDs went through the standard questions trying to figure out what could be causing them and eventually found out she had been lubricating with jelly not KY jelly the mix-up had literally been a joke on house it took me some effort to keep the straight face but we eventually resolved the problem and she stopped getting you tears oh I have two good ones that come to mind clinical pharmacist here by the way with one story in the ER and one in the pharmacy ER physician told me this one sixteen-year-old boy presented to the ER with an extremely swollen discolored penis apparently he has been using his mom's insulin needles to draw blood out of his arm and injected into his own penis he thought that adding blood would help increase his size his penis was terribly infected and he was hospitalized for a week or so one day in the pharmacy a girl comes to the counter requesting a refill for her birth control we pulled up her profile and realized we couldn't refill it because she just got a 28-day fill less than two weeks ago when we asked what happened to the other one she said she was out apparently both her and her boyfriend were each taking a pill each and was adamant that was how they needed to prevent pregnancy I've got two stories that stick out in my mind the first is the mother of a toddler who came into when the kid had cried II green slash bloody stuff coming out of his left nostril and a lot of redness and swelling of only the left side of his nose and the adjacent cheek mum was sure he caught a sinus infection and just wanted some antibiotics now I know some kids like shoving whatever will fit into their body orifices and that this was more than likely given the one-sided nature of his condition but mum was insistent that he never puts things in his nose it took some convincing but I finally got her to let me take a look gave a squirt of midazolam in the good nostril to settle him then dug with some tweezers through the crowd until I pulled out a big ol button battery it rolled been burning his nose for a couple of days hopefully he healed up well side note if a kid swallows a button battery it can do a similar thing to their esophagus this is an emergency and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible my dad is an emergency nurse he experiences the same thing doctors in the ER do maybe more so because he's the one in the rooms more often anyway here's a good story from him I had a patient come in with several pages he printed off the internet he kind of slammed them down and said this is what I have he had bloating nausea vomiting diarrhea bloody stool and fever among other things he insisted he had schistosomiasis he was being a real jerk about it like we're wasting time since he already knew what he had so I asked when did he get back from Africa and he said Africa I've never been to Africa what the hell would I be doing in Africa I proceeded to tell him that schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease one gets while swimming in the Nile River or other rivers in developing countries like in Southeast Asia he got angry at me because he thought I was being a smartass he got seen and diagnosed with gastroenteritis the stomach flu the bloody stool he had him avoids you have been visited by the great herb of capitalism many seeds will come your way but only if you comment good job mr. bird
