Doctor Reacts To Hilarious SNL Medical Sketches

[@lk_c7214]

When I was little, my mother used to say about my birth, “You were in, you were out , it was over. No big deal” The thing she complained about was how she was eating the best hot dog when she went into labor and wasn’t able to finish it! It’s literally been more than 30 years and on my bday she STILL complains about how she didn’t get to finish her amazing hot dog! 🤣🤣🤣 Man, I love my mama!! 😍😍😍

My mom told the story of how she brought a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" to read as she recuperated from giving birth to me (back when a birth meant a hospital stay of several days). After the birth, back in her room, she tried reading it. She said she could understand the words, but couldn't seem to string them together to make coherent thoughts. Fast forward about 15 - 16 years, and I had to read TKAM for school. Mom would normally read whatever books I had to read for English class anyway (it saved her a trip to the library), so she figured, "If my teenager is expected to understand this, I CERTAINLY should be able to as well. Lemme give it another try." About a chapter in, she remarked, "Why couldn't I understand THIS? They must have given me some *powerful* drugs..."

(I couldn't help thinking that they were doing her hair and makeup while she was delivering the afterbirth. The timeline kinda required it.) I'm sure she got *all* the meds she needed, but I thought that was above and beyond the call of duty, even for British royalty.

Save ER for emergencies. With an ‘upper respiratory’ then you could have seen a local Dr, especially if you were recovering.

bro why did you go to the ER just go to urgent care or your regular doctor? ER is for LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS

[@BubbaYoshi117]

You go to the ER if it's serious enough to threaten your life, and they will discharge you when they feel like you're going to live. Their diagnostic abilities are limited, that isn't what they're for. This is just one personal example, but they missed my appendicitis when my parents took me to the ER. They gave me three liters of saline and sent me on my way. Urgent care, which typically has much more restrictive hours, is a lot better for getting diagnosed and treated for something stronger than you could schedule for a PCP/family medicine doctor to address.

If you know that something is wrong, get a second opinion. This situation happens far too often. I like to read reviews of doctors in my network to see if the doctor listened to their patients and took them seriously. If they do, that typically would be in the review. My husband was born with one kidney. He gets UTIs and kidney infections because of it. He went to a nephrologist (doctor who should know everything about kidneys) and the doctor asked him when he'd had surgery to remove his kidney, as there is a scar where he'd had his kidney reimplanted (basically, surgeons take it out, do what they need to do, and then put the kidney back in). The doctor couldn't understand that he'd been born with only one kidney and had had surgery on it. This guy was old and set in his ways. My husband had to walk out of the appointment because the guy didn't believe him. So, not all doctors are good doctors. My husband got a second opinion.

A couple of interesting bits of info about practices here in Germany: Firstly, routine epistiotomies are not performed during vaginal births. I can't quote statistics, but the midwife who cared for me with my second child told me that the practice has fallen out of favor here. A friend of mine in the US was told it was necessary to prevent her from "tearing wrong." My German ob/gyn said that was hogwash. Secondly, you can only buy medicine in Germany- by prescription or over the counter- at a pharmacy. You go in and have to ask for what you want. The pharmacist advises you about what you've bought and tells you if you should not be mixing certain medications. If they have concerns about what a doctor has prescribed, they will contact the doctor directly. I think this is a really good system.

You calm me down because of some film recaps I get paranoid so thanks for being a good way to calm down

I'm glad you got to talk about IBS. I actually have Ulcerative Colitis, diagnosed at 21. Luckily I don't like drinking anyway lol. It definitely does make you want to stay home wayyyyy more than normal. Also, I'm tired all the time :( I'm on stelara and it works amazing for my pain and regularity lol

What you have is called IBD-ulcerative colitis and crohns disease falls into this category. IBS is different.

[@allyburnett3315]

@ladymarmalade92 trust me. I know what I have. I was just saying I'm glad he talked about how terrible it can be. Same symptoms as me. Felt relatable and most people have no clue what people who have EITHER GO THROUGH. Mine is actually worse than IBS so ya thanks for pointing out it's different. I know Mines chronic. Why do you think I said I have ulcerative colitis. Clearly stating what I have. Not saying I have ibs.

My grandmother had been through some tough and easy births in her life, but with my mom's younger sister, she actually suffered a hip fracture early in the pregnancy, still carried to term, and gave birth with that fracture not healed (it wasn't ever X-rayed because of the fetus in her womb, so they never verified or did anything about the fracture until afterwards). Even for all that, she still says it wasn't the worst pain she'd ever felt in her life. She's been stung by scorpions and bitten by cobras, and she said that was around 4x worse. Yes, "4x" was the figure she used.

Wow, your grandma is such a badass!

[@ichigopockychan]

Your grandma is a trooper

My mom has always been very honest with me lol her pregnancy was very difficult and her delivery was too. She just adds some humor in there 😂

[@KBRoller]

My mom never lets me forget it... "TEN HOURS of painful labor! You owe me!" 😂
