Doctors, What Did a PATIENT Try To HIDE From You? (r/AskReddit)

our slashes credit doctors have read it what is the most bizarre issue you've seen a patient trying to hide or mask at document pts routinely lie to me on a daily basis I used to take it personally but I have come to terms with it about a third of what I see in a given day is related to complex psychosocial issues and not real medical problems young girls who fake seizures for attention and their overly protective parents feed into it homeless people who swear they are going to jump off the building so they can get a meal under bed the intractable headaches or abdominal pain with huge negative workups who really just need narcotics or attention or both I've seen people flat-out lie through their teeth all because they can't deal with the stress of life just last night a young male who got out of drug rehab five days ago comes in with abdominal pain this can be a rather expensive and time-consuming workup with labs and court scans etcetera I flat out ask him if he is using again and he denies he is obviously high but screams when I examine his belly as such I get some labs in the urine drug screen positive for meth heroin coke and THC Labs in ml I talk to him again sorry doc I was embarrassed about using again he had come to the ER because he started shooting heroin again and was ashamed I talked to him go a long time about addiction et Cie but he didn't want any help I have hundreds of stories like this the problem is that I have to take their complaint seriously alcoholics and crazy people still have real medical problems more than normal people and they sue when we miss them the lack of trust between physicians and patients makes my get hard I'm always worried I'll miss something because the part is full of crap and I'm afraid that if I miss something I'll get sued for 20 million bucks makes me order a lot of tests that probably aren't needed yet another reason medicine an American is so expensive I think probably your best stories will be unidentified rectal objects or psychotic patient anyone who has watched scrubs knows the ass box and any doctor out of training probably has at least one ass box story this is my first and still best I was in medical school doing my radiology rotation with an interventional group they did some super coot stuff with fluoro and a wire one day we were doing a procedure I've since forgotten which one exactly I'm guessing something like a perk nerf something with sedation so the patient had to wait to recover for a bit anyways we do the procedure and things go smoothly I went back to the reading room where the doctor get caught up on some films we sat down at the box this was back when everything was film so we had the big auto rotator that would spend the next film at you and he started dictating the perk Neph guy always well and at the end of every procedure like that they shoot a film of the whole abdomen to make sure nothing really bad had happened right then the specials take that did the case with us came back and I'm sure it was like something out of a movie the whole belly film showed up and we all cocked her head to the side completely confused there were three radiopaque bright white objects down in the pelvis one shaped like a circle one more of an oval and one t-shaped object all the same size close together the tech said what are those the radiologist was befuddled me with the mid of a child being new to medicine said I think those are pushpins we went round and round at first no way can't be then arguing we're in the office who we even have pushpins to have them fall on his back before we gone him then finally I said they could be inside him we didn't have a laetrile wide shot unfortunately so no way to know for sure the radiologist then tried to figure out why anyone would be stupid enough to swallow pushpins and dear Lord how long have they been in there after a couple minutes of this with the tech again I said you know there's a much shorter distance to get to where they are at there was a quiet pause you know someone is going to have to tell him what we see he can't leave until we figure out what that is me and the radiologist looked at each other then at the tack he sighed and defeated Lee walked out to the recovery room a couple minutes later he came back I kid you not as white as against what did he say well I told him the procedure went well no complications stents in place CTC then I mentioned we took the last shot to make sure we weren't missing anything and when we went to look at it in the room we noticed some metallic like objects that seemed to be in the pelvis they aren't anything we typically use in the procedure and we aren't sure if they were on top of or inside your pelvis they looked like pushpins but we just wanted to see if you knew in it then the patient cut him off yes I know about those please don't tell my wife the tech didn't say another word we were too afraid to ask anything further the radiologist dictated as best he could kinda wish we would have asked more still have no idea and never heard anything more about it but that plain film is burned into my memory I can still draw it to this day a doc here on the charts it usually states your chief complaint of what is troubling you and which brought you to seek medical help usually it's two to three words like sub short of breath once I had a 20 yo guy with penile discharge I looked it up it's just a yeast infection written as his chief complaint which really odd I walked in the room hi I'm dr. Roth I understand you have a penile discharge yeah it's the least infection he says very confidently it's not a least infection I countered he hung his head to his chest and shook it yeah it's not a yeast infection you've got an STD like chlamydia still shaking his head it's chlamydia I know wasn't sure at first why he tried to pretend it was nothing when that prevents proper care until I went to the next room and met his girlfriend who had the same discharge and sadly also new herpes lesions felt really bad for her no only did she have an unpleasant infection but she was clearly dating an idiot another case as a resident I took care of this madly addicted crystal meth homeless man in the southern USA I say madly cause he actually got shot once and the bullet went through the muscle on the lateral pelvis not through the abdomen well he continued to smoke and smoke for weeks on end despite the wound getting infected at one point it progressed to be an infection of his pelvic bone osteomyelitis and he became septic when you get a bone infection we can try to treat it with antibiotics but they don't penetrate the bone well and sometimes it's just too late so the bone has to be removed he ended up getting a Hema Coreper ectomy everything below the belly button was amputated first and only time I've ever seen this thankfully I have a friend that's in Aras one day I asked her what her worst insertion stories were she had two she asked me anal or vaginal so I said anal warning wall of text anal there was a man that had come into the air complaining of severe abdominal pain he was admitted and while he was chatting with the doc the man was visibly uncomfortable so the doc ordered an x-ray to be done once the results were out the doctor was standing at the x-ray machine just staring at it until my friend walked by Sarah the doctor said beckoning her forward come here my friend was confused but complied with his request however once she saw the x-ray she understood completely doesn't that look like an apple to you asked the doctor and my friend nodded while holding back her laughter and said yup certainly does the doctor asked the man if he had anything to tell him the man stuttered and it took a while to drag the info out of him but anyway at the end of this story the man had to get surgery to remove the Apple from his rectum though when a person has an object removed from their body a complete breakdown of the item has to be done so my friend got to look at this ridiculously long report of that the damn Apple was made out of and at the end instead looks like a Golden Delicious vagina a woman came into the ER complaining of strange discharge from her you guessed it vagina so she was admitted and a male nurse saw to her as a note the male nurse was gay and was relatively flamboyant anyway the woman had her legs hiked up and the male nurse has his head under the blanket looking at her hoo-ha but suddenly he jumped back looking terrified my friend in about a good-natured ribbing joked that the male nurse couldn't be that afraid of women but then he looked at her fear and confusion clouding his eyes and said something blinked at me my friend is bewildered and ducks under the blanket to see for herself and sure enough she saw something blinking something small wedged up a woman's vagina was blinking at her I'm not sure what happened next but it was a turtle a tiny pet turtle tied the vac turtle my friend called it the woman somehow believed that her vagina was a more suitable tank that which her turtle had been in and managed to wedge him up there and before you asked my friend didn't know what happened to the turtle and it still makes me sad to wonder if he went home with his owner thanks for reading aji lodge bigger than the wall Trump will build at the Mexican border inguinal hernia I was a med student doing a general surgery rotation usually someone has groin pain and says something like I think I have a hernia you look see nothing then feel and don't really feel anything and do surgery anyway this guy was a big guy probably around six feet four inches in 400 lbs he dropped his pants and I expected to see nothing unusual but instead his scrotum was around the size of a cantaloupe I recoiled and said something like WTF I went and got the surgeon and didn't prepare her just asked her to come look at it she walked in took a look and you could see the jolt go through her then she said it looks like Mickey Mouse this was because he testicles were perched way up on top like Mickey's ears then she apologized but was a little shaken we exited the room and she said in 20 years including her residency she had never seen a hernia like that we did the repair and 18 inches of intestine was in his sac and nine pounds of fat I had to push the fat back up into his body it won't stay I would get his intestines back in and most of the fat and then the pressure would shoot it all back out like a scrotal jack-in-the-box we finally had to tip the table upside down and let gravity assist me in getting his guts and fat back in his body I'm not a surgeon but asked the attending surgeon if I could just throw the fat away they said no it all had to Gio back in I still wonder why I can't just throw the fat away I don't think he would miss it two weeks after surgery he came back for a follow-up the secretary came and knocked on the attending store and said Mickey is in room 1 we lost our [ __ ] laughing a friend of mine as a surgeon who works in proctology in an Hospital in Switzerland and that story is pretty unusual patient is a very athletic guy in his late 30s solo benched and very well groomed and all and he looks very anxious he complains about intense itching sensation in his anus slash rectum area GP couldn't find the cause my friend first had a conversation with him asking about any recent unusual activity in that area but he denied and said 20 times that he's not gay my friend insisted saying that he's not there to judge and that it has nothing to do with being gay but the patient confirmed his first answer after deep check up with appropriate tools my friends found very intense abnormal [ __ ] up irritation which could only have been caused by an external product but he couldn't guess which products of that stage and needed to find out to be able to cure it as soon as possible so he asked again and the patient denied again they told you already I'm not gay so my friend tried to scare him and went like sir considering that you're 100% sure that any kind of substance products or objects have recently been inserted in your rectum what I found there is really not normal at all and looks like a severe mutation of some kind we might need to cut it off to stop the progression which would imply an artificial anus that scared him his pants off and he started talking ok I'll tell you but you have to promise me that you'll never mention my name when you laugh about my [ __ ] up story with you colleagues sir I'm not here to judge your laugh I'm here to cure ok so Hugh Hugh I'm very not gay you know but you yo you know sometime when the excitement arise [ __ ] can happen so here is the story he was having a foursome in his garden with his wife and another couple they swapped wife's it was fun and all and then when the excitement arose the women went together and the men ended up together as well so that guy was in the passive position obviously and his partner of the moment was missing lubricant and they were in the garden and there was no lubricant and that was annoying and there was a few slugs in the flower beds and there was no lubricant and they were very excited and [ __ ] it why the [ __ ] not and they tried using the slugs as lubricant which obviously didn't worked out at all but it was already too late so the slugs were stuck in there for a to long moment and you guessed it they emit an irritating substances a self defense mechanism of course the guy was so embarrassed that he did not went to his doctor immediately my friend never heard what happened to the penis of the active sex partner a nurse here had a patient come in one day who said he thinks he has an infected penis the stench of this man confirmed some type of infection the smell was so bad we needed to give him a single room a doctor and I going doctor to ask the questions and I was there for moral support and to assess the wound but mainly we were both there to support each other cause we had the feeling it was going to be interesting tries to say he doesn't know what has happened a few minutes pass and we decide to take a look I'm not going to describe it because it was horrendous can on request for all you sick us out there but after a few more probing questions we get this confession look okay it was the ice not me it was the ice it is a crazy drug me and my girl wanted to get kinky so I got electrical tape and pulled my penis out and wrapped the tape from base to tip as tight as I can then I got a candle and let the hot wax drip over my penis which kind of burnt and then I got the ink tube out of a pen and stuck it down my penis I took that out but I ended up passing out with the tape still on my penis and woke up the next morning I pulled it off but my penis was burnt and really swollen and blistered and I thought it might sort itself out this was five days ago now and it's only got worse doc so why have you waited five days to come and see us patient well I was embarrassed so I've been smoking a shitload of weed for the last five days to build up the courage we get out and the doctor turns to me and says veteran doc here with many many years of her experience that is one of the worst things I've ever seen I'm not a doctor however I am a patient who hid something very stupidly back in February 2014 22 year old me was working on my car sitting in the driver seat I had a - taken apart though I could replace the hazard switch I felt the aura coming that always happens before a seizure I figured I'd be okay because I was sitting down in pretty secure when I came back to consciousness I was in the most pain of my life my back was in so much pain that I wanted to die right then and every time I moved the slightest it only got worse I have a problem mentally I tell myself that I'm a burden on everyone and I need to do everything myself so I did the best thing I could think of I tried getting out of the car by myself for 15 minutes I got one foot out of the car I ended up texting my best friend's mom to come help me walk inside now before I start telling you about the hiding part I have to tell you every time I have a seizure I can't remember stuff my brain just glitched it's rebooting one seizure I forgot the whole previous day one time I looked at my friend and told her I didn't know who she was it [ __ ] sucks but anyway my friend's mom was my roommate I didn't know what just happened I didn't know why my car was taken apart after I failed to get out I remembered that I was working on my car but I still didn't know what happened or why my back hurt I told her that I was so tired that I took a nap and woke up and think I had a kink in my back just needed her help to walk me in she got out there tried to help me out I screamed in pain she asked me if I wanted her to take me to the hospital I stupidly said no I'll be fine just want to lie down I really just didn't want to interrupt her day off with having to sit in the ER she finally was able to help me get inside and get in my bed I asked her to turn the light off and I tried to go to sleep there is so much pain coming from my back I'm in tears breathing is no longer something I want to do as it just causes me pain as I'm laying there I'm just thinking and then it clicked I had a seizure but I can't tell people that because then I can't drive and other people will have to drive me to the doctor's visits and to work and wherever else I can't be a burden on these people's lives like that I had to ask her to take me the pain was too much getting back out of bed down the stairs and into her car took longer than it ever should have well now that I'm in the ER she has to get my whole family involved and it doesn't help that my cousin was working that day either told everyone that I asleep and woke up and was hurting the doctor probably dismissed me as a druggie and just gave me the Laura taps to keep me happy then I was discharged fast forward a couple months my sister is tired of me being in pain makes me go to the doctor I got x-rays done it turns out that during the seizure I fractured some vertebrae in my spine later arthritis set in I came clean my sister told me she was disappointed I felt like [ __ ] made her a promise to never hide anything relating to my health from her again I know it was dumb to hide the fact that I had a seizure I've learned since then I admitted a guy for pneumonia which was odd because he was young and strapping no other medical issues x-ray didn't look quite right the pieces just didn't add up and so I started questioning him more closely me do you use any drugs patients drugs that's disgusting I'm no [ __ ] druggie I've never touched drugs in my life I move on to other questions and suddenly patient look doc I just want you to know I may have used cocaine once or twice years and years ago I just snorted it though that wouldn't cause this write me how long ago patients like ten years maybe longer me it shouldn't be affecting you after this long patients more like five me yes patients up like five months ago this goes on forever until he admits he just got off a massive crack binge the day before where he spent the past three days in a hotel with some loose women smoking crack non-stop he finishes with but I don't want you to think I'm one of those dirty druggies no I think you're the idiot who lied and was getting treated for pneumonia instead of getting the proper treatment for crack line which is what he had here's a tip I genuinely don't care I am NOT your mama your spouse or your priest don't waste my time and endanger your health spewing [ __ ] whatever horrible twisted thing you think is too shameful to talk about I promise you I've seen worse nurse here and I'm late to the game I've seen some [ __ ] but in this story the patient tried to hide something and I paid for it as well was working as a teaching hospital here in Nara as an agency nurse as some of my fellow agency nurses can confirm when the staff nurses find out an agency nurse is coming in we get the patients that the other nurses don't want to deal with innocence the shittiest patients on the floor literally and figuratively I got my reports and was making walking rounds with the nurses going off shift we walked by a patient's room and he wasn't there outgoing nurse says he's always going down to smoke and that he's very demanding he was a homeless patient there for an infected arm from forth drug use I asked the nurse why was he being allowed to leave the floor regularly with and forth in his arm and she just shrugged about an hour later my patient finally reappears and shuffles into his room I make a mental note to go in that room next for my assessment after I finished giving another patient their meds I go to walk in and the door is cracked I hear snoring so I'm knocking as I opened the door I say hello mr. addicted to heroine I'm 2 to a joke we know and I'll be your nurse today he doesn't flinch I know he's not dead because I could hear him breathing I place my hand on his arm and gently shake him and Jude comes out of it screaming like a wild bear waving his arms cursing and flings the bag of white powder he's holding right in my face I hit the code blue button because I'm leged terrified this dude is freaking the [ __ ] out and I look like frosty the blow man with a yet-unidentified white powder in my hair on my face and the shoulders of my scrubs the code team runs in with a crash cart sees me sees freaking out patient and grinds to a halt someone runs out and calls security and a big feller of respiratory therapist pings that dude down security runs in and handcuffs him to the bed nursing thrall manager starts grilling him about the powder and I hear him start insisting that it's baby powder and I scared him while he was cleaning up and he threw it on me that's really the last coherent thought I had I come to in the ER and get the story from the doc after all the security footage is reviewed dude was going downstairs meeting his supplier and bringing the goods back upstairs cutting his supply more with hospital supply baby powder that he had been requesting for chafing going back downstairs and having his customers meet him in the air parking area he had passed out after shooting up into his fourth in the parking lot and I came in and scared the hell out of him he had thrown a baggie of heroin and baby powder in my face my husband had to come get me and I was given a note in case the agency drug tested me in the near future I also had to give a statement to police it was simultaneously the best and worst day at work I ever had and subsequently the last hospital shift I have ever worked not a doctor but I'm sure the doctor would tell it TLDR had an infection and had a hands-on experience I won't forget I was 12 and I had an infection in my scrotum and tried to hide it hoping T would just go away I was walking funny and it eventually turned Berkley my parents got very worried and spoke to me about why I was walking funny finally had to show my mom my crazy swollen purple testicle and we went to the doctors the next day while there I explained the situation they needed to do tests so I was given morphine and so they could ultrasound my nads there was a super attractive nurse doing the ultrasound to she'd got clear jelly all over my balls it still hurt but man if that wasn't one of the first rock hard erections I ever had I don't know what was I was so weirded out by the whole situation first I get an infection in my balls then I'm given morphine then get jelly slathered all over my balls then I see one of he pretty esteem iLife and she touches my disgusting morbid sack I tried desperately hard not to smirk because it still keine good also being ticklish but every couple seconds I would giggle and smile but then of course a second later it would hurt and be painful so it was a rollercoaster especially for being so young it went on like that for at least five minutes don't really remember what the problem was but if I recall correctly I had a bacterial infection but it cleared right up and I was fine I think the only lasting effect from that was that women with short hair are still very attractive to me doctor and nurse if you're eating this thank you but holy [ __ ] was that confusing may I answer is an AR pH who has worked with pharmacy clinics edit okay here goes there is nothing anal in the following story about seven years ago just a few years into being a pharmacist our community pharmacy decided to put in one of those urgent clinics cheaper than an are more accessible in an urgent care a young woman with a broken miss shapen face centers my first mother bear instinct was Oh God her boyfriend beat her I know I know that is a really horrible conclusion to jump to and I felt bad as soon as I thought it but at the time what I saw in front of me was a young woman with blood streaks brown hair holding a broken nose her eyes were puffy and purple I take her to the back room and I snag the nurse and have her start helping with cleanup and I wait to see if I should call for a dispatch nurse tells me a few minutes later not to bother the woman had not been in a fight she had not fallen there had been no car accident she wanted to slide down her staircase on a mattress and smacked into her front door it took four hours to find out because she refused to tell anyone and when the police threatened to put her butt in jail she confessed side note after three hours of being monitored for cranial damage the police dispatch was called they were trying to get a statement even a nothing is wrong she did not say one thing or another just refused to answer so they told her tell us all we will have to hold you for obstruction of I do not know the law in this sort of situation but one of the nurses told me that when it comes to public safety the cops have to find out if someone is about to re-enter a dangerous home noted and give her help information even if a boyfriend had hurt her she did not have to press charges so I do not know anything about that and cannot comment further edit to oh I just thought of another one of the same clinic a man came in who had decided to see how many fishhooks he could put into his skin around his hand the fish hooks were still attached to wire that his cat wanted to play with several of them ended up embedded into his hand tissue I do not think he still has the cat oh there was the woman who came in with something lodged in her ear I do not know what it was but the doctor had to go into my office to laugh I'm not a doctor that I had buddy who texted me at 6 a.m. saying he was constipated and it was hurting him trying to go traffic was backed up on the highway so I took the back roads there but they were poorly maintained and bumpy and after 15 minutes he asked me to get back on the highway because the bumps were causing some discomfort we get to the aired and he has a very hushed conversation with the nurse as soon as he sits down in a chair in the waiting room two nurses come out to help him into an exam room I go over and ask the intake nurse if he's going to be long and she says oh yes he's going to be admitted with a funny smirk on her face the next morning I wake up again at 6 a.m. - angry pounding on my door I open it to find my buddy's older sister who had never been to my house before and the only weights she cold founded was driving around my neighborhood looking for my car and pounding on doors but there was at least four other right entacle cars to mine in my neighborhood but I digress she was looking for her brother because he never came home the night before and I was the last person he was seen with so I tell her I took him to the hospital the morning before and he was being admitted so we all caravan down to the hospital we all being his brother and three sisters dat and I to find out what's going on with him and why he hasn't told anyone way he was we get to his room just after his doctor gave him his post-op consultation turns out he had an eight inches rubber dildo lodged in his ass and my taking him on the bumpy road caused it to go even farther up so they had to make an incision in his belly and manually massaged it from his colon back out thank you so much for watching the
