[@shoesfillupwithwater]

~*~ as a disabled woman~*~ I actually found Ethan's dogged pursuit of the truth with regards to his symptoms very important for the audience. No, he didn't end up having lupus, but he listened to his body, reached out, got help, and tried to figure out what was wrong with him. We should all of the mindset that going to the doctor is not a bad thing, and it's always better to listen to your body and try to understand it then just being miserable and getting sicker. An important lesson that was lost in the shuffle a bit! Edited to add: It is much better to be cautious, go to the doctor, and find out that nothing is wrong with you than to not go to the doctor and realize later down the line that something was wrong with you and you missed your window or best chance to treat it.

It took my mom over 16 doctors appointments, doing her own research, and demanding they test her for lupus to finally get diagnosed with lupus. It took years. Ethan doing his own research and experiencing medical anxiety is all so valid.

[@wellhello1603]

Exactly! This happened to me with multiple diagnosis and multiple doctors asked me if I feel like being a bit of a hypochondriac. All that only to find out I have a heart condition, tumors in my chest, sleep apnea and adhd. If I didn’t do my own research, listening to my body and trying to understand what is wrong so I can explain to health providers better - I would not have any clarity about my health and wouldn’t be able to solve the issues. It’s so sick that people try to clown on those trying to find medical clarification and trying to educate themselves

[@theclawlives]

That's what I kept thinking about during Dr Doolittle's video. Every person I know with an auto immune disorder had several doctors misdiagnose then for years before they came to something that made sense. He even admits that's often how it works but somehow Ethan looking things up is bad?

And it’s relatable. Having to go through all these referrals and specialists, and waiting for appointment openings and labs while you know something is wrong is so frustrating and anxiety inducing, so hearing a person with a big platform not only talk about it, but also joke about it is fun bc it’s relatable and helps us not take it all so seriously. And it’s validating to see another person go through it and making light of it.

[@beefcube2414]

You're 100% on point, and tbh I think that if he actually cared about this topic he wouldn't be so ready to throw around his "connections", his charity that he's been alleged to be scalping money from, or his own autoimmune disease. This whole video felt like a temper tantrum because the crew and, by extension Ethan, didn't notice him and make him the main character in all of their lives. It was petty, mean spirited, bad faith, and at times absolutely idiotic. All the hallmarks of a spiteful and hateful attack out of some twisted idea of revenge.

[@atomickilljoy66]

Thank you for putting that term back in my vocabulary, fellow chronic illness girlie!! I was trying to find the right word for it and it's absolutely giving white knight!

The whole “this disease primarily affects women/men” to dismiss a possible diagnosis is so harmful, especially for autoimmune diseases. I have spondyloarthritis which primarily affects men, but I’ve found a whole community of women with this disease that doctors have written off for YEARS simply because they weren’t men. This type of thinking is exactly why some autoimmune diseases take so long to get diagnosed.

[@ash4513]

Omg this! Unrelated to what im about to say, but Ive had Crohns Disease and Autoimmune Hepatitis since i was 4 (22 now). But anyways I recently went to my regular doctor (not GI) and told him I was having some heart palpitations so we did an EKG. It came back abnormal and he literally walked in and said "If you werent female I would send you to a cardiologist" he called it "Female heart syndrome"......like bro what the fuck ? 😂 now he got me all worried so I'm going to a cardiologist anyways for a real opinion lmao literally what is the difference between a male and female heart ?!

exactly especially when we've literally seen how this plays out with things like breast cancer. Thankfully we're moving in the right direction but it used to be talked about as something for women to worry about exclusively, when men very much can and do get it, but can sometimes ignore warning signs or just not know them due to being conditioned to think "ah that's not for me to worry about."

[@adorablyapril1791]

“He’s self diagnosing” ok but why are we shaming healthcare anxiety. As someone who has suffered through health anxiety it’s frustrating when someone invalidates your feelings and says oh you’re fine. Anxiety is real no matter what it’s about. Ethan has every right to feel the way he feels.

[@OpalLeigh]

^this! I feel like they didn’t discuss, but being a “hypochondriac” without an obvious gain is just… anxiety. Which is also valid. I describe myself as a hypochondriac but it’s an offset of my extreme obsessive anxiety disorder 🙄 and it’s not something I choose either. I worry about things sincerely and authentically, but usually it’s not as bad in the end. It is not something I enjoy. It sucks for me too.

[@xSwordLilyx]

​​​​@@OpalLeighRight! My abusive ex accused me of not having PMDD when he was in the room when I was diagnosed. Talk about gaslighting. If it was a misdiagnosis even I would have been unaffected by medication or become manic, which didn't happen. I'm a hypochondriac apparently but he avoids doctors like that will make it go away which is being paralyzed by health anxiety. He's a hater ass bitch in not a good way, a jealous malicious way.

Ethan, I spent 16 years waiting for an accurate diagnosis. Those few months of your raw reaction to lab results and the insight look into what it’s like to WAIT, feel so confused and unsure, having doctors throw you around with no real answers- SO REAL. I had a million “normal” or “on the cusp” lab results before my condition was finally uncovered and diagnosed by a world renowned rheumatologist. There’s a reason why chronic illness often goes undiagnosed for YEARS. And to see a comedian process that experience of uncertainty and be able to add funny commentary, felt so healing and relatable. As someone with chronic illness and autoimmune issues, I literally could not finish the segment because of how angry Dr Dolittle made me. Honestly it just triggered me how he managed to so severely stigmatize chronic illness further under the false pretense that he is an advocate for chronic health. He clearly isn’t.

Like he'll diss someone's appearance repeatedly in a way that shames anyone who looks similar, without ever qualifying it like Ethan always does when he says things like "we love our short kings". No love from Jake these days. Basically, Jake went from sweet and fun to hateful over the course of his main channel's popularity, and it sucks. I hope if by some weird chance Jake reads this, he takes it as constructive. He is creative enough to make good content, and caring enough to be more compassionate with his language and criticism.

jake’s lack of empathy for medical anxiety in this video is really weird. i’ve been to the doctors and freaked out over much less even when they told me everything was fine. as much as i trust doctors, my anxiety will have me convinced that im gonna die 😭 he acts like he’s never met someone who’s scrolled webMD and are convinced that they have a brain tumor because of a headache. that’s a huge part of anxiety, it’s not always rational and people with anxiety often catastrophize things even when everyone is telling them they’re fine. for someone who tries to be very sensitive to people with autoimmune diseases, i would think that he would be more understanding of mental health conditions like anxiety?

This is relatively gross but I got a case of toenail fungus that I never got around to treating & my toenails started to fall off. This happened on like a Friday night so I freaked the absolute fuck out till my appointment on Tuesday about it & they were like no you’re fine just take these pills. BUT the whole time I was so concerned and stressed about the whole situation while the whole time I was fine. Looking back it seems so silly but at the time I was spiraling. So yes I agree. And also Ethan is just joking but alas everything has to be taken absolutely so seriously now that jokes aren’t jokes. And to finish, a lot of people calm their anxiety by comedic relief, myself included. It’s not that deep. Not deep enough to start drama at least

[@meowJACK]

Exactly. And it's not even like Ethan had an overly crazy amount of anxiety either! He was having actual symptoms, and actual test results that could potentially be indicative of something serious. Getting those kinds of things diagnosed (or being able to conclusively determine that there ISNT any sort of serious diagnosis) takes time. It's normal to feel concerned about that, and to worry about what it could be. I really think he had a pretty healthy/normal amount of anxiety given the circumstances. It's not like he was freaking out and terrified... The whole lupus thing was literally just "it COULD possibly be that, I had a test result that indicated it could be possible, and I do have similar symptoms". And then it became a huge joke/meme. It was never this actual huge serious emotional "OMFG GUYS I THINK I HAVE LUPUS 😭😭 IM SO SCARED!!!!!" it was just fkn "it could MAYBE be that but I don't know" and not even being emotional at the possibility..... And then playing along with the jokes when people started making them.

It took me a year to finally get my diagnosis for Endometriosis, after two ER visits and a misdiagnosis.

That’s all, just funny and relatable for me. ✌🏻&❤

[@paddycakes.]

The amount of times doctors told me, or alluded, it was all in my head before actually getting my Endo diagnosis/surgery was the most brutal part of the "journey" for me. Another reason why I related to Ethan's anger and frustration with Jake's video. Not having answers doesn't mean that nothing is happening and it is such a stressful part of any medical issue. All the peace and love to anyone struggling, diagnosis or not ✌❤

@paddycakes. Not having answers is soooooooo frustrating, I wanted to vent and talk about it but it’s so hard, you start to feel like you’re crazy, like what you’re feeling isn’t real or it’s just anxiety.

[@podenco]

As someone with chronic illnesses, one of the universal experiences is spending months or years trying to figure out what is going on with yourself. I actually found a strange comfort in watching Ethan go through a similar thing even though he has far more resources and great medical care. The truth is that human bodies are weird and confusing and a lot of things are hard to diagnose, during that process you simply have to talk it out or it will eat you alive. Not knowing is so much scarier than figuring out possibilities and realizing you can learn to live with or treat them all; that's all i saw with Ethan's lupus saga, trying to find answers and find peace with potentials All this being said, i really do hope Ethan figures out what is causing these issues, nobody deserves to be dismissed even if their symptoms seem to be insignificant to an outside observer

[@billpardy4094]

I have some significant medical issues (PCOS, Endometriosis, Hidradenitis Supperativa, and kidney stones) and my medical anxiety from the trauma of trying to receive help for those issues affects me deeply. Ethan advocating for his own health with a sense of humor has always been inspiring and empowering to me. I have been told that I cannot feel pain on my ovaries, since they don’t have any nerve endings while I had a ruptured cyst bleeding into my abdominal cavity (which hurt like hell). I’ve been told that if I had a kidney stone I wouldn’t be able to sit across from the doctor and tell him about it (I fucking did and ended up having to deliver my oldest child early because of it). I’ve been told excessive pain and bleeding after my C-section was totally normal and then needed multiple surgeries to remove scar tissue from endo later that week or I would have bled to death. I’ve been blamed for not appearing to be in enough pain so that the doctors could accurately diagnose me when I described WITH MY WORDS exactly how much pain I’m in, and I’ve been told that I was being hysterical when I screamed and cried in pain because I had lost all hope. There are so many stories like mine in these comments and so many of us have found some solace in Ethan’s medical journey. I hope he never stops advocating for himself and gets all of the answers he needs to achieve his best quality of life, something that is extremely difficult to do with the state of our medical industrial complex. I am currently 7 months pregnant with my second baby and every day I practice in front of a mirror, “I would like to request a different nurse/doctor,” and “I would like to speak to a patient advocate right now.”

Really infuriating how he claims to have some sort of chronic illness himself, yet is so quick to be so dismissive of someone else who is struggling with unknown health issues. He's saying the exact type of shit that people with chronic illnesses often hear. "Oh you're just being a hypochondriac, it's nothing, it's probably just this really stupidly obvious common thing that doesn't actually explain your symptoms, calm down and shut up, you're being dramatic"

When Ethan said something along the lines of, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but it just can’t be normal to feel like this every day,” my heart broke because I have been there so often! Hearing that nothing is wrong with me and wondering if this is just what normal life feels like is enough to cause anyone to feel hopeless and alone, which is why this stuff needs to be talked about and taken seriously.

@207humanity yeah! It started with a really horrible headache in the middle of the night. Within a minute turned into the worst pain of my life but I didn't go to the hospital because it went away for the most part after like half an hour. I was looking it up that night and everything said aneurysm and I was also noticing some weird visual things in my left eye. I went to the doctor and told her about all of that and she said, "you're probably fine but we can get some scans to be safe". Two months later I was getting surgery at Johns Hopkins. It turned out the headache was most likely a "warning leak" so I'm very glad that my PCP took me seriously and sent me off for scans! A lot of people would have been brushed off so I got very lucky

[@espifreak]

I have a couple of points: Jacob knows what a joke is; he's being deliberately obtuse so that he can make Ethan look bad. It's like someone joking about running over their own grandmother for a Klondike Bar and being like "Oh really? You'd kill your own loved ones for a a trivial treat?!" Same goes for taking health-related Superchats and claiming that people are donating out of sympathy. You donate to get your superchat read by the streamer, which he knows as someone who livestreams on KZbin fairly often. It's clear to me that these people wanted to be a part of the conversation and offer their own knowledge and experiences. Finally, this came out in December, and he teased it beforehand as this major expose. What other devastating expose came out last month? Hbomberguy's video about plagiarism. He saw the success of that and tried to replicate it in some way. Allegedly-for-entertainment-purposes-only-in-Minecraft.

What Jake did makes me so mad. He knows first hand how terrible it feels to have someone dismiss your symptoms or call you a hypochondriac and he does it to someone else. Hard to feel bad for him when he cries over hate comments saying his illness is fake

[@Askalott]

I have chronic illness (an autoimmune disorder), and I wasn’t offended by the Lupus bit at all. I believe at one point Ethan was genuinely concerned he had Lupus. I had the same concerns for myself when seeking a diagnosis. But when it turned into a tongue-in-cheek joke about being a hypochondriac, I thought it was totally lighthearted and funny. We also don’t know yet that Ethan is okay. Maybe not Lupus, but getting a diagnosis can take time.

[@Emma-bo3pm]

At the beginning of Ethan's Lupus saga, I started to get similar inflammatory and symptoms with really high blood values for inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR). Its weird because we got the same tests around the same time, and honestly watching Ethan joke about it gave me so much relief. Throughout this process, about everyone in my life told me not to worry about it and started throwing out diagnoses like strained muscles, gluten intolerance, or gastrointestinal inflammation caused by poor diet. For context, I am also studying medicine so this is particularly irritating to me. People like Dr. Doolittle mad me think I was crazy for being worried, which is so destructive and self-absorbed-- something they teach us not to do to patients. Without a single risk factor, I was eventually diagnosed with a golf ball-sized blood clot in my femoral vein, also referred to as DVT (and later post-thrombotic syndrome which is chronic). This is extremely rare, (24 y/o F) so much so that my doctors had no studies to reference to treat women in my age group and relied on treatment recommendations for older or elderly populations. Nothing about Ethan's journey is offensive, if anything I find his transparency refreshing because it is normal to worry and try to find an explaination (its human nature!). He understands he is not a doctor, FFS he did a Lupus poll! Don't gatekeep chronic illness, its harmful and really stupid, with P+L :)

My mom got injured at work due to negligence from her employer. They wouldn’t pay her medical bills so she took them to court. Doolittle’s argument reminds me of her employers defense lawyer. They basically gaslit her, picked apart every diagnosis and test, and then made shit up and said she was self diagnosing even though at the same time dismissing the results from when she saw doctors. She won the lawsuit but this kind of attempt to publicly gaslight someone about their own medical issues leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. You know your own body. Don’t let people like Doolittle try to trick you into thinking otherwise.

Jake has demonstrated the danger of how a little bit of knowledge is toxic in the wrong hands, he has misunderstood, gmgrandstanded, tried to shame and gatekeep. Medicine wouldn't have him unfortunately, even with the perfect name. This is the kind of disrespect that would bring the profession into disrepute. Anyway there are too many opinions and too few people with enough knowledge to talk most of the time. I can confirm Jake mispronounced and misunderstood concepts in this video. But I also don't understand why his panties are bunched. Is he upset that you were speculating about your own illness and venting your anxiety with some (really funny) jokes? It's such a reach for him to feel the justification to have an opinion.
