Worst thing a doctor has said to me? "I am gonna be straight with you, I think you are just trying to get high" I was in the ER. I was returning because my staph infection wasn't being slowed by the meds, the wound had tripled in size, and it had become necrotic. Since I had been there, a doctor caught that my staph infection was actually MRSA. They somehow got the wrong person's paperwork from the lab, and didn't realize it, when making the initial diagnosis, so I was given the wrong treatment. It was after all this that the emergency medicine doctor told me that. Luckily for me the ID specialist was there, and heard that. So I didn't see that doctor again, until my legal process, for the malpractice, started. That infection ruined my life. It took 18 months for the wound to close, once the infection was gone. I went into renal failure, twice, during that infection. I was illegally fired for not being able to be at work. Lost my house, my insurance, my car, everything. After I was over the infection, and wound treatment had started, I had to not only deal with all of that, but two law suits. The malpractice, and the employment. It has been almost 15 years and I am still not back to even the material status of my previous life. But, yeah, drug seaking behavior, am I right?

I would take him for car rides and just talk to him about what I currently saw and commented on them so he wasn't constantly being asked to remember things he couldn't. He would get so happy to be able to converse about how many cars were on the roads, the color of a car, and any other silly thing. Being able to talk to someone seemed to make him happy, especially when it didn't involve anything more than what he was seeing right then. For the most part he was very aware of things going on around him and knew there were things he couldn't remember. Dementia is a horrible, cruel disease.

Although I get why you thought this was desrespectful for the dead person’s family, please consider that this doctor was still taking care of living patients who also needed her. Can you honestly tell me you wouldn’t prioritize a living patient’s pain management or care over administrative tasks? That doctor was probably overwhelmed and chose her words carelessly. She shouldn’t lose your respect over that.

Dr. Mike, thank you for sharing this. As a father, a Black father, a White emergency doctor was treating my son (3 mos.) with such disconnect and venom. At some point, I demanded a new doctor. When he refused, I kindly told him if he put one more hand on my son again, he would lose it. Another doctor took his place, and she was wonderful. A month later, it was reported that a Black little girl under his care died when he dismissed her from the emergency. She died on the way home. Being this occurred on a US Naval base overseas, Commanders ordered his removal and return to the United States. Black patients are definitely the recipient, it seems, of doctors' ire.

And don’t get me started on the overwhelming number of people who get IUDs but who are not properly informed of what to expect during and after placement.

When people ask me why I quit being a pharmacist only a couple years after being licensed, I tell them that there was simply no one I looked up to and aspired to be like, and that I didn't want to continue down a career path that made me so unempathetic and jaded. The long hours, unrealistic standards, and morally questionable practices soured a lot of pharmacists and sucked all the compassion out of the practice. Some doctors start out bad, but it can't be ignored that the state of our healthcare system is also to blame for turning a lot of good doctors into bad ones.

Then she proceeded to say that basically if I didn't re-try it I wasn't trying to get better and I was wasting her time. Zero other options presented.

Another bad one was when I was sectioned going through really bad depression and one of the mental health nurses who was "looking after me" told me with a smile that yes I would be going to hell because I didn't live a good christian life and so would my mom because she had kids out of wedlock, thankfully I don't believe in that stuff so I just laughed in her face but once my head was in a better space I realised just how bad what she said was and she deffo shouldn't be doing the job she's got.

2:46 I had surgery about a month ago and while my main surgeon was experienced and highly respected, I was told the day of my surgery that two med students would be participating & watching in on the surgery. It could have been seen as concerning that these med students were reportedly going to be working on a procedure that was both for constructive and cosmetic reasons, but due to the nature of this particular surgery being relatively uncommon and the fact that very few doctors know how to correctly perform it, I decided to give the go ahead to let the students do their thing. When it comes to doctors, they very rarely just go in without any kind of assistance or training (but if they do that is a major red flag to look out for), but we all have to remember that doctors are trained professionals that need to get the hands-on experience from somewhere or someone. Especially if you are a rare case and few doctors know how to perform it, it is very important to have as many doctors 'in on it' to educate themselves as possible so they can continue to help you or others with your situation in the future. Yes, have boundaries and exercise caution when it comes to doctors performing newer procedures (particularly those with fewer risks), and yes you have a right to bodily autonomy and to demand the absolute best care, but please keep in mind that these younger practitioners (or older practitioners learning new techniques) are our future and an under-trained generation is a higher risk generation.

He said he didn't care because he was a guy and guys don't care about this kind of stuff. I brought my concern to him because he had put me on a "new to the market" medication and I was wondering if my problem could be a side affect. I canceled my last scheduled appointment with him, I don't want to see his face. It took me a month to even see another Dr. concerning my issue. I don't go to Dr.'s anymore unless I just can't handle the pain or injury any longer. I feel they don't care.

We appreciate Dr Mike for all his hard work and effort. May he continue to live Kong and succeed for the betterment of the community.

When I was 13, I went to see my GP and he was running late with a patient before me. I got into the room with him, he said “sorry for being late, my last patient was suffering from mental issues and wants to 💀herself uuughh” I really thought that was so wrong to discuss other patients issues. I have a hard time telling doctors everything to this day. I’m 24 now and it still urks me

[@jimwormmaster]

Yeah....that's a HIPPA violation o.o Not to mention the "uuughh". Talk about uncaring! They probably should have left it at something like, "Something came up with another patient". Gives a reason for the delay, without giving any confidential details.

Boohoo how sensitive are you bruh

[@Watermelon-hd2gd]

@@jimwormmaster no it’s not a hippa violation because the doctor didn’t disclose any information that would tell him who the patient was.

[@frerejacques4391]

​@Watermelon-hd2gd they may have seen the previous patient walk out of the room before them. However even if it's not a HIPPA issue, it's super unethical

[@Eet0saurus]

Especially inappropriate to tell that to teens and tweens, because teenagers and people below 35 years old have the highest chance of becoming sui cidal. So what if this patients might have those thoughts or develop them later, then they will not say anything to this doctor

It makes me happy to see medical professionals showing compassion and empathy for patients and their loved ones as well as helping to hold other medical professionals accountable.

I really respect doctors for all they do. Thank you so much for providing help to the people that need it!

Why are labor and delivery personnel so fricking cruel to people who are birthing? I have heard so many horror stories of nurses and doctors that specialize In Obstetrics and labor being awful people giving birth

[@I.no.ah.guy57]

You mean "women"?

[@Mewse1203]

@I.no.ah.guy57 i said what I said.

[@RogerFairthorne]

Unfortunately, that's not a new thing. The nurses were terrible to my mother 30 years ago when my brother was born.

My mom is a doctor. In medical school, during the height of the aids epidemic, one of the other students came up and interrupted a conversation she was in and said “i don’t know why you care about aids so much, it’s killing all the right people.” If that wasn’t bad enough, she was one of the students in the MD/ PHD program meaning she was considered one of the brightest in the class. Luckily, she’s a pathologist so doesn’t have to work with any living people.
