When a person with chronic pain tells you something is the most painful thing they’ve ever experienced, THAT MEANS SOMETHING.

[@alsinakiria]

Yeah, we live being tortured daily by our own bodies. If something is enough to make us react that strongly it's painful.

[@vanessabrannan4059]

Yup!! Mine was Levator Ani syndrome. OUCH!! I was also in less pain 3 days after a total colectomy than I was beforehand thanks to severe ulcerative colitis.

Mad props to Keith for stepping up and almost single-handedly keeping the channel running. I'm so glad to hear that things worked out in the end.

Idk why American health care scares people with 'long wait lists' in a public system.

[@ginao6810]

I’m an Aussie… My mother had a brain tumour in 2008. From getting diagnosed, numerous MRIs, neuro surgery, a week in the hospital, medication when she went home…. She paid a $35 co-pay for her initial GP appointment, and then left hospital with a bill for $126. She had surgery 3 weeks after the diagnosis. That was only because she had to have a crown replaced at the dentist and the dr agreed she should get it done before the surgery so they pushed it a week. Sometimes when I open my payslip I look at the amount of tax taken out and get annoyed. Then I remember my mum is alive and well, and my parents didn’t have to mortgage the house to cover the costs. The Aussie system has much room for improvement, especially for mental health and women’s health, but we a safety net and we are all better off because of it.

People underestimate what it means to be immunocompromised. The smallest of small wounds get infected super easily and everything becomes a health hazard. More power to you Zach

[@joylox]

I'm prone to injury and always keep a few essentials on me just in case. I've taken to wearing an allergy mask everywhere to avoid migraines (Vogmask doesn't really let smells into the mask), and it seems I'm getting sick less too. But it's hard. I grew up with pretty much yearly ear and foot infections (which is ironic because of the phrase "how're your feet and ears?"). Thankfully I grew out of the ear infections, but I still get pain every now and then, especially with changes in altitude.

[@hologeist7284]

​@@joylox eyyy chronic ear infection gang 🤝 i seem to have the same problem with altitude changes too (the one thing i _hate_ about airplanes and the mountains)

[@criptastical]

@@joylox I've only been immunocompromised since last January, and as a person who never really got sick before that it has been such a shock. I literally never got a cold before last December (I'm 22) and then it lasted for 12 weeks and turned into pneumonia?????

[@jenniferparker7588]

@Niccolò Reiss He was lucky that they're allowing visitors at this point. My dad was in the hospital last year and they would only allow one person during the day, and no one at night. No one was there to watch him so much of the time, and my mom didn't know enough to properly advocate for him. The hospital severely neglected him and he ended up dying there two weeks later.

[@stargirl7646]

Yeah this is so scary 😢

[@joylox]

It's so bad in North America. My neighbour here in Canada waited 10 about hours after having what they later determined to be a mini-stroke, and was told to just go home and come back the next morning. It's really bad, but at least insurance covers what I've needed, and some things are free. Then again, I was quoted 2-3 years to get allergy testing after mango made my throat and mouth swell up, so they just gave me something called Allerject (basically an EpiPen that has voiced instructions in it, cost me $20) just in case it happens again, and told me to avoid this long list of related fruit. I'm just glad I can afford physio every couple weeks, and usually seeing my GP is a month wait. Some of my friends who don't have GPs (5 year wait to get one) have to wait hours at a walk-in to get any sort of help, whether it's a med refill, a referral for a test, or advice on how to deal with something.

[@is-yn6jf]

The way that the hospital had no beds but the insurance company STILL made him take up a bed for days by not approving the essential medicine??? Apocalyptic.

[@vonlowe7187]

​@@joylox dang I thought the UK was doing badly enough with how underfunded the NHS is. I've had to take someone to A&E last week - we were there for 6 hours: triage, x-ray & CT. Luckily I could take my patient home that night. Looks like we'll be seeing at least two departments for outpatient follow up - but at least all I've had to pay for was some pain meds (~£10 per item) and parking at the hospital, and I'm so thankful I don't have to worry about how much it'll cost us.

As an ER nurse, thank you for taking the time to explain the current state of our hospitals in this country. Unfortunately, the experience you had of being trapped in the ER because there are literally 0 rooms available for you to go to is not an uncommon one. And I understand it's incredibly frustrating for the patients, but it's frustrating for us too, we aren't keeping you down there on purpose. I'm glad you recovered in time for your ceremony, though! Fingers crossed that that was the last hospital visit for you and yours for a very very long time!! ❤

[@adamnorshah]

This issue is relevant all over the world. Here in Malaysia, we also have a crisis which somehow the political will to end it, is a bit lagging. Since Covid, hospitals had been overwhelmed and they just haven't recovered. Speaking about held up in ER, my father went few months back for heart issues and was there for days before they had room at the cardio ward. Plus they almost postponed my father's heart procedure due to the slots were full. Thank god they didn't discharge him early until it was done.

Living in France, the American healthcare system is disgusting and heartbreaking. No country is perfect and I won't pretend like France has it all together, but the $10,000 necessary medication not being approved and the poor old woman sleeping in the hallway is just awful.

[@coffeegirl18]

I feel bad too. I feel worse because the wait times for some scans/xrays sometimes take a long time. They're trying to fix that and I found out our main hospital will do them immediately if it's for a specialist (I have a rheumatologist for Lupus) which is good. Non-emergencies take months to schedule it...They changed it so you can pay now at a private clinic but it isn't required with the regular (public?) system,

[@Eva_Merlot]

Right? I’m Australian and I can’t think of any reason that a medication should cost that much.

[@mysteryweesnaw9731]

As an American, I will not go to the doctor unless it’s an emergency situation. Sometimes I feel like we can fix the many problems facing the US, but the majority of the time I’m wishing I could immigrate somewhere else that’s got it together a little more 😅

[@zarahshabs7936]

I understand where you’re coming from completely But as an American medical student, can I just tell you that the human body is amazing and major issues tend to not arise until your body is already severely compromised or potentially can’t recover.

[@hannahcrichton7116]

As someone from the UK, the idea that your insurance wouldn't pay for a medicine and so you are stuck in the hospital is just wild to me.

[@Meggish62]

Healthcare insurance is a scam in the United States. It costs me about $25,000 a year. It’s common for insurance companies to refuse to cover emergency room visits, doctors visits, tests, labs, MRIs, CT scans, pharmaceuticals, physical therapy. Fight to keep your politicians from ending the NHS. American insurance companies profit greatly while consistently refusing us coverage and care.

[@trullyfreak]

They’re only protected if everyone around them is wearing a mask. That’s why it’s important everyone wear masks, it only works if everyone’s doing it.

While life was hard during the pandemic, this current state of medical care is more difficult for the hospital staff than ever. Thank you for telling people about this problem. But most importantly, congratulations on you wedding and may you have a long and wonderful marriage! And please continue to love and support Maggie as she faces life as a healthcare worker.

Please wear a mask and encourage your coworkers to wear them as well if they haven't been! Mask mandates ended in Washington on Monday and I've seen so many people happily taking them off. Masks keep us all safe. Stay well and thank you for all that you do!

I was in hospital last year for a few days in relation to complications with my pregnancy and also covid, I wasn't allowed to have any visitors and was having my vitals checked every 3 hours. I was bored, lonely and deliriously tired. All I did was watch Try Guys videos for 4 days straight to keep my spirits up, keep me laughing and make me feel like I wasn't so alone. So thank you so much Zach and the rest of the Try team, for bringing so much joy to others ❤

​@@danielleking262 no, I doubt he could afford $10,000 for the medication to treat his C. diff. That's why he continued to stay in the hospital. How much do you think he makes if you think he's got 10k to spend on a medication? And he'll probably be paying off his medical bills over time too. Perhaps he'll pay them off more quickly than many of us and slower than others. Maybe a portion can be written off as a business expense since he made a video about it. He's not rich.

As a doctor working at UCLA this was so informative to see the patient perspective. I have to tell my patients waiting in the ER all the time that I can’t imagine how incredibly frustrating it is to be boarding in the hallways, but we are frustrated too. All the doctors, nurses, and staff at the hospital are just doing our best to care for our patients, but the system is indeed broken. Congrats to you and Maggie!

Could you tell me why they stuck Q tip in the wound the way they did and not a gentler approach? Like is that just the way to go?

[@paulinenguyen9802]

@@cheyennecuevas3226 in order to get a good sample, it is best to get at the deeper layer at the dermis rather than the top layer which is likely contaminated. If I were just to take a qtip and swab my top layer of skin I would probably grow some bacteria bc there is bacteria that lives on our skin normally, but that is unlikely the source of his infection.

Hi Zach, I came across your channel due to Dr. Mike. I was diagnosed with Ankylosis Spondylitis when I was around 20. I actually started showing signs of it when I was 15. The delay in the diagnosis was due to not having a reliable test at the time I started showing signs to confirm the diagnosis. Anyway, I’m in my 60s now and I’ve been on immune-suppressing meds most of my life so hearing about your accident sent chills through me. I’m so glad that you got well enough to get married and hopefully you’re 100% healed by now. Take care.

I'm similar, I always forget one allergy or sensitivity of mine when I order stuff, and it's frustrating with multiple conditions.

[@InvisibleRen]

One of the local hospitals has my garlic intolerance written as an allergy so none of my food last stay was seasoned AT ALL (bc apparently they think garlic is the only seasoning out there). Made me want to tell them nevermind it but nah I can’t do the physical effects. But the worst was that they took my lactose intolerance as a milk allergy and so I got literally no carbs. 💀😭 That didn’t fly so I eventually had to pull a Zach😂

[@laylayraskin]

Hi yeah so peanut and sesame allergies here, and same, it’s always an all or nothing deal. I’m definitely anaphylactic with peanuts, but the sesame one is a fairly new discovery. It’s only a minor stomach-based allergy (basically an intolerance that just shows up on an allergen panel), but now I can’t eat Chinese food because everyone freaks out. “But you can’t have peanuts, what if your sesame allergy SUDDENLY COMPLETELY CHANGES AND YOU DIE?!?!” …sir I just want my lo mein. 🥲
