I don't have insurance so I don't get to see a doctor. Which really sucks for me because I do have something that I need to get cured.

You just never know. My family member begrudgingly went in for a routine physical per his employer. The NP did an EKG (all employees over 40) and said that it was very irregular, he might have recently had a heart attack and needs to go the hospital asap. She was adament and it pissed him off. He went to the ER after his wife heard the story and was admitted for a quadruple bypass that weekend. That 'annoying' exam and 'stubborn' nurse saved his life. He later apologized to the NP and gave her a gift.

[@limarien6405]

Nurse Practitioners are wonderful. I've been going to family medicine doctors for years who never took me seriously. My mom got me in with a nurse practitioner and I have a diagnosis I've been trying to get for a long time and I'm being tested for things I was supposed to be years ago.

[@TheGreenhillsCyclist]

Yup! The big toe on my left foot was gradually changing colour and going back to its' normal colour. Started of baby blue, ending up being that very deep bluish purple colour bordering on black and my foot had started going a strong navy blue colour. Foot felt like lead and my toes felt like floppy sausages with just fat holding them onto the foot itself. Went to GP, she sent me straight to hospital. I was triaged very quickly and brought into the ER. The doctors took one look at my foot and huddled themself into a corner. They went into panic stations and started making calls left right and centre. I knew I was in serious trouble. Next thing, a doctor from the Vascular Clinic was down with 5 minutes of doctors dashing to the phones and had me in a ward pronto. The femoral artery in my right thigh was completely blocked and was shooting blood clots down into my foot. I was put on flavix, nuprin and had other blood thinners injected into my abdomin. It was caused by cigeratte smoking. I started smoking at 11 yrs old and this happened to me when I was 46, (I am now 51), I was a very heavy smoker and smoked the strongest cigarettes on the market. I was ordered off the cigarettes. I was off them quick smart. I spoke to my GP when I was discharged 2 weeks later and asked how close did I come to losing my foot. She told me "You really don't want to know!" That told me I was dangerously close. Been off the fags every since.

Had this sorta thing (a "that escalated quickly" thing) happen to me. I had a sinus infection, and as always, at some point the snot starts flowing and I end up with a stomach ache from the post nasal drip. Kinda standard for me, since I usually get 2-4 sinus infections a year. This time, the stomach ache persisted past the post nasal drip. It wasn't bad, but annoying enough that it was affecting my job performance (I unload trucks and stock at a retail place). I tried to make an appointment with my normal doctor, but they weren't available for weeks. I opened the search to other doctors in my area and got an appointment for 2 days out. My stomach hurt, but didn't do anything different, still went to work, went to the gym, etc. Doctor checked me out and asked me if I had been pooping normally, and I was honest and told her that it had been a couple days. I think that this made her think I may have been constipated or impacted, but either way, the tummy ache turned into a CT scan, which turned into a rather, not frantic, but urgent call from that doctor. My mild tummy ache was a very large aneurysm on my celiac artery pushing against my other organs. Needless to say, I was instructed to go to the ER immediately and a here a few months later, I am back to work, to the gym (with my physical therapist's recommendations), and have a repaired aneurysm. I don't usually go to the doctor office for a tummy ache, doctors don't usually order CT scans for tummy aches when there has been a very recent source of snot... That was God's sovereignty and that doctor's intuition! Glad to be here....got addicted to this channel during my stay at the hospital! ❤

In my experience, older doctors can be worse about it because they know everything from all their years of work

This is so important. I think it doesn't just occur with younger practitioners, but also with more experienced ones.

Ive rarely experienced being with a lazy doctor, but when i did its almost always deadly.

[@jesbenji9742]

I once went to the doctor with a bad chest cold, came out with a prescription for tranquillisers. He was convinced I was JUST sleep deprived (I was slightly more tired than usual from having a cold/cough). Didn't listen to my chest or acknowledge I had a cold. I was also only 15.

Doctors: Don’t worry he X-ray is perfectly safe Also doctors: *Walks to Egypt to press a button*

[@anae.6920]

Parrottish it’s safe for a patient because it’s usually just one or few images they’re getting done and they’re usually necessary to see progress or to diagnose. The techs that take the images do it for a living and being exposed to radiation for every patient done is too much which is why the tech steps out of the room.

As an NP student, we always talk about the importance of assessing and treating the whole patient.

On point as usual and love these learning opportunity vids!

[@vnzalol2364]

Clarice Hart 100th like

[@emmybuns6964]

I know this is an older video, but THANK YOU for discussing this more holistic & open-minded diagnostic thinking. I’m a 2nd year veterinary student, and we are specifically being taught to reject System 1 thinking (the pigeon-holed diagnostic thinking you mentioned - “I’ve seen these presentations of these symptoms before, and whether or not every symptom fits doesn’t matter, it’s definitely this”) and encourage System 2 thinking (what are my observations, what is the client concern, what parts of my physical exam are abnormal, what more do i need to research about these systems or symptoms, etc.). It’s SO important to not just assume the presenting complaint is the only one, or even the most important one!

[@christineneil8020]

I call situations like that a blessing in disguise! Great work Dr. Mike! My step dad had a very similar incident occur except he was just going in for a regular well visit. He had no prior history of A Fib and when they checked his vitals his heart rate was really high. They did an EKG in the office and it turns out he was in A Fib! Thankfully his doctors office was right there in the professional building of the hospital so they directly admitted him immediately. He had to receive cardioversion and was started on blood thinners to prevent micro emboli from forming which can cause a stroke! He sure got lucky that day!

[@daphnyperez9801]

If I had a doctor like you when I was first going through my diagnosis, I think I would be in a much better situation right now, health-wise. In the beginning, when I first started having symptoms, my doctors would only treat them and not look at it as a whole. They'd send me on my way with antibiotics every time, never ordering a single lab to be done. I was lucky to have been diagnosed when I was, otherwise my life would have been in great danger. We need more doctors like you.

It's difficult and will always be. You can keep talking/thinking about it and don't let the presence and pain of it fade or get used to it. I am sorry for your loss. Forget and forgive.

[@craftstore3609]

Thank you for your condolences. I really was not fond of cats but when she came i was overwhelmed. My mood drastically changed. The day she went was soo tragic that i cant tell. I controlled myself a lot at the vets place but i burst into tears just as i sat in the car... i can still never forget her. She was almost like a family member to all of us. But then god gave me a beautiful niece.

Sorry to hear that. I was pretty sad when my cat died as well. But listen, its not the end of the world. If you really are depressed sure visit a doc and see if you can get medication for that but imo its unecessary. I would say just accept the pain, let it sink in and overcome it. Its gonna be hell of tough not gonna lie but it can be done. Keep your chin up. Cheers

[@trisia44]

This is a great video! It has helped to explain why, when I went to an urgent care center and THEN the ER three additional times in four weeks complaining of severe shortness of breath and a horrible cough each time, they jumped right into focusing on my heart. I had three EKG's, the last of which was a horrifying and humiliating experience, as they had the door wide open, didn't give me a blanket to cover myself, yanked my gown up and the person putting the pads on kept flopping my breast up (yes, actual flopping) multiple times to apply the lead underneath that wouldn't adhere due to perspiration, all while countless staff and other patients and guests passed by my room looking in. The whole thing was extremely frustrating for me, however, because I felt that they were *not* listening to me when I said that it felt like my throat had a cork in it. I had four different x-rays (one with each visit) of my chest and diagnosed me with bronchitis and sent me home. The third time in the ER, I said the feeling of a cork in my throat was more pronounced. I was in obvious distress and they did another EKG (all of them were normal). I had horrible coughing spasms that would leave me breathless, resulting in me fighting to inhale. After five hours of waiting, they were discharging me again, but this time with a diagnosis of pneumonia but decided to do a nasal swab just in case before sending me on my way. I was outraged that, again, they weren't listing to me or picking up on the _very obvious and distinctive_ cough. During the four weeks of fighting this, I kept trying to go to work because I was out of PTO days. It took four doctors and a bunch of nurses before an available (and very pregnant) trauma nurse requested to do a PCR test before discharging me. *Can you guess my diagnosis, yet?* I'll bet you can! *PERTUSSIS!* I was then contacted by the county health department and told to quarantine after giving a list of everyone with whom I had contact. My employer made an announcement in the lobby that I (they named names) had whooping cough and everyone had to help sanitize everything I had possibly touched. What a horrible and humiliating experience. I kept telling them it wasn't my heart. Now, I lose my voice several times per week and could not scream if I had to, even four years later. I am constantly clearing my throat as it feels like my larynx is scarred. *I really wish that they had looked at the WHOLE patient, Dr. Mike!* After all that frustration, I still worry about the pregnant trauma nurse who was ultimately the one who diagnosed me.

Not a waste product. Honey is their form of food storage. But yes, they drink nectar and then throw it up into honeycomb back at the hive. It becomes honey over time.

[@saharaamazinglady]

More fun fact, bees have more than one "stomach", the bee actually stores their honey in a different "stomach" that they don't digest nutrients in. So they regurgitate it but not the same way humans vomit. Bees r cool. 🐝🌼
