5 things my brights friends do at doctors visits

Comedian Josh Pray went on a doctor visit with his friend Chris and yeah he made this videos lol

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

I'm a bright fire medic. Josh just proved my suspicion. Certain communities seem to never go to the doctor or know what kind of medical history they have. I went to a chest pain call for a Mack fella in his 60s. Sounded like a heart attack to me. I asked if he had any medical history, and he looked me dead in the eye and said "Naw", and that he hasn't been to the doctor in 20 years. I pulled up his shirt to put the cardiac electrodes on his chest. I did a double take. Twice. Maybe even three times. Dude had a VERY wide zipper scar from his neck to his belly. I could see at least 2 different scars overlayed. I asked him what that was. Could be emergency surgery, could be an old cardiac surgery, could be a hobby. I don't know. He said, "Oh that?!?! Thats from my heart something and blood thing from back in '93 And I got stuns." At the hospital, we found out he had an abdominal aortic aneurysm (98% fatal), which caused a quadruple bypass surgery due to a heart attack (50% fatal), and a total of 6 cardiac STENTS in his coronary blood vessles (numerous events of 20% fatal). I wrote all that down for him, folded it up, and put it in his wallet. I instructed him the next medical person he sees... he was to hand them that paper before they even figure out if he was male. First. Pronto. Folks ask your doctor to give you a list of your medical history JUST IN CASE. It makes my job easier and safer, and helps you survive a bad situation. Also, just be safe. I don't want to meet any of you while I'm at work. In a bad way, that is. LOL

[@PotatocannonLol]

Even if you can recite your history it's a good idea of your K.O or head rung right, you might not be able to recall it that day at the time you need it

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

That was such a sweet thing for you to write all that down for him - then to put it into his wallet just in case he should have another episode in the future. It sounds like you are an exceptional medic, who goes the extra mile out of nothing but genuine care and concern. I'm also guessing that you probably don't get nearly enough of the recognition and gratitude that you are so clearly deserving of, and I'd also guess that part doesn't matter to you - because you do this job out of the sincere kindness in your heart. People like you are the reason why I believe that there are angels among us.

[@irencsak]

Josh's first point made me laugh, I need to have 1 foot in the grave before I head in

[@evilestmonkeey]

Been 20 years. 21 actually. Ain't seen a real reason to bother. Forty years old. 3 kids. 26 year old wife still happy. Wake up every day. Hurt myself enough as a kid to know what's serious and what isn't. As my great grandfather would say, "Most things are long way from your heart." Seems like it's worked so far.

[@ihspstanktribe]

Me too

[@ChinchillaQueen]

I'm already broken enough to know what level of chronic pain is worth going to the doctor for. Basically I need it to get to a nine, almost ten on chronic level before I'll drive myself in to get it looked at. I don't have time for doctors

[@nunyabizness3642]

Watched this with my sister (who is a nurse practitioner), and she said she saw black patients bring in family members with them. But she said it was spot on about white people knowing what's wrong with them and just needing a signature on the prescription!🤣🤣🤣

[@colleendianuzzo]

Working in the medical field for years and #2 is so accurate. Me I go to the doctor alone.

[@Nyckname]

In any meaningful sense, I haven't been to a doctor since 1978. On the up side, the dizzy spells are a cheap thrill.

[@ashleymoore5463]

😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Nyckname]

@VicodynYou couldn't be more wrong.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

I thought the tingling was great then saw my bp was 193/102

[@mitchellpierce6233]

I swear to god. I just realised i randomly just binge your videos. Ive been here before. Shit still funny. 😆

[@colleenquinn8154]

As a bright friend- with a chronic life long disease- I’m in a lot of doctors offices. TRUST ME DOCTORS HATE WHEN YOU GO IN AND TELL THEM WHAT UOU NEED PRESCRIBED. don’t matter what color you are let the doctor do their thing and also. Yeah I mean. I only go when I have too (every three months for a specialist not a general doctor) so yes a lot of white friends get the doctor on the phone ASAP and a lot of white friends call they grandma to dig up and translate their families remedies. (Also. Hello internet. Got remedies up the wazoo I feel like more “hippie” vibe people just google that and only go into the doctors when they are about to close the casket) lol 😂 loved the video

[@jprez623]

Because doctors never misdiagnose? There have also been times i’ve been to doctors where they tell you this is whats wrong before you even get the first word out, and didnt want to hear a word i said. Not all doctors are good doctors...

[@josepardo7097]

they call it 'practicing medicine' for a reason.@@jprez623

[@mikebrown5648]

I'm glad I found this guy's video he is definitely funny LMAO like to hang around with him for a weekend or he hang around with me God bless him and his family keep up with the videos

[@deplorableb.r.4211]

The doctor's office is like fight club.

[@oddhobo4808]

That sounds like a great insurance company, I think I’ll go check it out😂

[@wendyraymond1751]

You are so funny thanku for the laughter much love an god bless x

[@thomascampbell763]

Lmao. Everytime I go to the doc its them agreeing with me MOST of the time about whats wrong lol

[@paulfaure4531]

Josh, I’m a 60 yr old white dude who grew up in NY but now live in Louisiana. I can’t tell you how hilarious I find your videos. They’re great and I think your probably a great dude in person. Love your stuff and wish you all the success in the world.

[@leert2698]

I bet you have noticed a little difference between NY and Louisiana. Ha

[@johoney5458]

Thank you. You have not failed to bring at least one, usually more, chuckles from me. Course I have met a lot of rednecks. You have a blessed day Josh.

[@johnnrowe8887]

That's awesome bro. In the midst of everything going on, anytime I'm not myself I know I can find one of your videos and I'll be rolling on the floor. Much love from WV brother!

[@randyspencer3314]

You need some new bright friends..most of us get by with home remedies and black electrical tape.

[@JanaBama]

Lol a Zpak.... the cure all 🤣🤣

[@MrsABC7997]

Spot on!👍

[@veronicamcdavitt759]

Josh I love your personality!

[@laura1443]

Lmao! Now, I DO NOT go to the doctor unless I can't fix it myself AND I think I might die. This means I go to the ER (which is few & far between), but EVERY TIME I've gone I have diagnosed myself & told them (and received) what I want to take for it. I didn't know others did this as well! 😂

[@austincombs1958]

Josh pray you got me wrong I don't go to no damn doctor

[@stevemullins2377]

I'm white and self-employed. I don't go to the doctor, I'm redneck. I go to the emergency room so I don't die .

[@paulinesoares3594]

Hope you and your family stay safe with the storm coming to y'all. We had our share down here in southern Louisiana

[@gingerhughes5949]

I know what I got, all I need is refills. Walmart is where we have family reunions.

[@lilc5150]

Lmfao!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I actually do that all the time, I just go to get my Rx when I'm sick

[@masonoutdoors8716]

Lmaoooo this is 100 truth

[@justindavis4962]

Growing up on the border it was always home remedies. Call Tia (not related at all) and she'd rattle off a bunch of stuff and Vicks was always included. Next day good as new.

[@goodluck-sx8zf]

As a cripple that has to be seen every 6 months an MRIs every 9 months. I lost care in keeping it secret. I have been taken to many doctors by many different friends not just family. Been this way for 9 years in a wheelchair for 7 going on 8 years. My friends keep me around. They will call out stuff I wouldnt tell my doctor. I spend most my time around them compared to family. So then know when i lie.

[@gloriakuhn8670]

Josh pray is funny as hell. He seemed to be right on the money except for the first one. I don't know any white person that goes to the doctor until they absolutely have to.

[@theroachden6195]

I hate going to the doctor. I won't go unless I can't cure what I have on my own. And number five is spot on. You can know, but once outside the doctor's office, you know no more and we never speak about it again.

[@jeremyperry9021]

Lol. 😂 How do you know this? Lol. Great 👌

[@shoachiwarrior]

That's hilarious! My husband seriously calls me a "witch doctor" 🤣 We go in when we need to. I use herbs and essentisl oils, vitamins and natural things to support the body. I have some medical knowledge you could say. I haven't been wrong yet on my diagnosis. I literally just diagnosed and started treatment of mt husband's leg pain. I told him that it was due yop the nerves in his legs and inflamation. I started using natural anti-inflammation, Glutathione w/ Milk Thistle (help throughout the day & bring down/ control inflamation help body repair dsmage) and Lidocaine 4% patches (8hr release) patches for him to sleep at night. He went to doc. Was officially diagnosed with neuropathy and given a Rx of Lidocaine patches of 5% time released for bedtime (have to have a doc prescription for those) as well as an anti-inflammatory Rx! 🤣🤣🤣 Same shit I already diagnosed and was giving my husband! He likes my natural stuff better (anti- inflammatory) because the herbs don't give him as many side effects and 90% of the time they work better! I'm pertty much Dr. Mom and yup, we go because I've already called it and just need a medicine that I have to get through a doc. Doc checks us out and ends up proving me right, everytime! Education comes not just in a classroom!! I don't know everything, but I keep learning!

[@ericdallas3765]

I use an egg to fix my self😂😂😂

[@littlearsehole75]

Good God, this man is funny!

[@evhexrc1765]

Josh, whoever you took to the doctor seems like a wimp😂. Except for a little bit of 3 and 5, I can’t relate

[@stevenjenks9336]

Oh my goodness 😁😁😁😁😁

[@kimora337]

So true!

[@ihspstanktribe]

Only one I agree with 100% is #3. Haha! Been there, done that many times. #4... Eh 🤷‍♀️ sometimes.

[@tammycenter8757]

LOL so true

[@laurajean5957]

I HATE when people in the waiting room talk to me omggg

[@SonofLiberty-zw7op]

Have to argue with a few of my bright friends to let the doctor tell them what's wrong. Remind them the doctor studied and then practiced for years and years to be have the knowledge to say what's wrong. So just indulge them. Telling my bright friends they might not know everything....well, that's when they become temporarily deaf.

[@ask.jimbobjones7494]

I won't voluntarily step foot in the dr office I got hit by a car in March and the ambulance came and they were trying to load me on the backboard to put me on the stretcher I told him get off me I'm fine tried to stand up I had two broken arms fix brakes in my pelvic bone all my ribs were broken and my back was broken needless to say I went to the hospital

[@leert2698]

There are times where it just isn’t optional.

[@tmauntler]

nah... I never went till I had a serious problem... and now that serious problem keeps on giving and I have to go to the VA frequently lmao

[@qattah]

Must be a geographical thing about not going to a dr. Neither my husband nor I go to a dr. unless we have to. -- Oh, I am "bright." :)

[@nunyabizness3642]

What was the beeped out part?

[@flamingpieherman9822]

OMG all of that is so true! I usually ride with family members and the ones that don't come already know why I'm going and want an update on what I've found out whenever we have. I will go for any reason that I can't diagnose myself. And when I get there I told him that I've ruled out all of these other things and it has to be one of these three things and can they please test me for these things! And believe me I will find out your name how many kids you have what kind of work you do why you're here at the doctors and maybe get your phone number and email address and we'll do lunch one day

[@kaylag5043]

I'm white but I almost never go to the doctor lol. I didn't go to the doctor until 5 hours after I broke my finger because I assumed a broken bone would hurt more. My friends thought I was crazy XD

[@lindaleslie5634]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MC-342]

😂😂😂

[@theemeraldeskimos237]

I didn't give to the doctor even after a week of my finger being fractured, even moving it slightly, hurt like hell

[@crystalratcliff7065]

The white ppl talk to each other is so true, where I worked, we had to deal with HIPAA, but the patients were the worst at tell ppl what I'd wrong with them, I'm like, I guess HIPAA just went out the door, bc everyone knows what everyone else has or is coming to the dr for 🤣🤣

[@bobbyhempel1513]

I don't go to the doctor for anything less than uncontrollable bleeding that I can't reach to sew up

[@melissaamericanmade9831]

I must be black. 😂🥰❤🇺🇸👍

[@florencecimera5733]

Love ya Josh, but you got this one wrong. I only see a doctor if I am drug into the emergency room unconscious.

[@lancemcdonald1317]

@joshpray are you on rumble

[@brandonmcbride6325]

Hell I couldn't tell you the last time I seen a doctor. I'm not going unless I'm knocking at deaths door. In 06 I had walking numina didn't know it at the but refused to see a Dr, it wasn't until I got so sick I was coughing blood and couldn't walk a friend picked me up and made me go to the hospital. That friend saved my life they told me if I had waited a few more days it probably would of killed me. Another time I had a fence post go through my finger boss forced me to go get stitches I just wanted to throw some alcohol on it and rap in in a rag and duc tape 😁. I hate Drs and they charge to damn much so ya unless I'm knocking at deaths door I'm not going or a minor accedent and the boss man forces me.

[@amydraughon7632]

Check out who for insurance???

[@CODYORMOE]

I despise going to the doctor, for anything. Sliced tf out of my finger at a party, an actual doctor that was there was like “Oh, you’re going to need stitches, at least 5-6”. He was mortified when I pulled out the superglue and just glued my finger back together. Like I’m leaving the party right as the ribs are coming off the grill to get stitches. Hell no. It’s still a bit numb 6 months later, but it’s getting there. Not all white people go to the doctor. Some of us make do.
