frankie, I agree. In my teenage years I was in a hospital due to injuring a eye and complaining to my doctor when he reminded me that doctors are not God. They can do what they can do but there is a limit. He was an excellent doctor, a decent human being, and he's gone now and I'm 82. We are all just temporary residents on this planet. Every moment is a gift.
@@nemo227 absolutely. I think we can easily forget to look at the bigger picture instead of our current problems, which are all minuscule comparatively. I so wish I could relay this sentiment to a particular coworker that complains to me for hours on end every single shift about shit I cannot control and did not cause. It’s absolutely maddening having to listen about cat trees being moved when we are all just seconds away from death in one wrong turn of events on any given day. A severe language barrier prevents me from being able to relay this sentiment, and I imagine it wouldn’t get through to her anyways because she’s one of the most godawfully hard headed and stubborn ass people I know.but look at me, being a condescending asshole; complaining about *someone else* complaining. Life is weird✌️
Friend of mine was told he had stage four cancer and also told he had weeks if not, days to live. It's some years later and he's still kicking it's ass, despite the pain. Fight on you crazy bastard!
Idk why but I feel like your friend's Australian bc Australians are the type of people to just walk off medical issues as if they don't have weeks left to live
Yea, its sad she didnt know it was her last moments of being able to see ever. IDK if it would've been better to tell her, but probably not, just in a more casual way, like "what are some of your favourite things to see" or smth before she couldn't anymore
At 27:50, to those considering the donation of the organs of loved ones, thank you so very much for doing so. I've received two separate kidney transplants after having a hereditary kidney disease and being on hemodialysis for eight years. When the first transplant rejected after 3 years and was not a good organ to start with, and it appeared that I needed another transplant, I received a second - this one a perfect match from an 18-year-old girl - which is still working perfectly after 13 years. As tough as a donation decision is, please know that you are saving the life of someone else, a chance that may never be given to you or the recipient ever again. Thank you to those donors and the transplant teams that make it possible!
A guy I knew at uni - Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, terminal, he passed away 2 weeks later. He had no symptoms other than being “tired” which caused some weight loss from study cramming and not eating properly but being a full time uni student makes you tired. I didn’t know him as a friend, just a guy in my class
Yah that hit me hard too. I’ve been blind since birth, but I know lots of people who lost their vision later on. There are lots of resources to help newly blind people of all ages, but I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like for her to go to sleep with some sight and wake up with none.
I have bipolar disorder and sometimes it really sucks… But, fuck me. I still have my eyes, my liver, my kidneys, my heart, my sanity, and no other current issues. My family is healthy and well. I have health insurance, should something go wrong. I have so many blessings at this moment in my life, and I didn’t even realize it until listening to this thread. It made me reflect on the fact that life is so fragile, so fleeting, and so beautiful and precious. I don’t want to find out I have cancer in the future and look back and see nothing but unhappiness, when it was something I could fight, but chose not to. To everyone out there, to the person reading my silly comment, I hope you are well, and I hope you are living peacefully. And, if you’re not, I send much love and light to you. Everything will be okay.
Hear hear! I’ve been blind since birth and it’s definitely caused it’s fair share of inconveniences and obstacles to overcome, but I have the same blessings as you. I am physically healthy and take care of my body. I have a good education with a supportive and loving family and a good support system. We also have good insurance. I have a lot going on mentally right now, but I’m still blessed and I’m working through it.
I have Bipolar as well, but I also have an autoimmune disease that will likely shorten my lifespan noticeably (though not necessarily). It causes a bunch of issues, like I have trouble swallowing and have had to be scoped to remove blockages in my throat more than once. I have had to have my appendix and spleen removed, I am currently waiting to have my gallbladder removed. I get rashes, I’m really prone to skin infections, a bunch of headaches, mental fog, memory issues, concentration issues, and overall fatigue. It also cause the joints in my extremities to be painful and has led to permanent damage and deformation (though that could be way worse, it is unlikely to make my legs and arms/hands not useable). The worst though is that sometimes they have to stop my medication for bipolar when doing certain treatments. Which often leads to me being manic or depressed with mixed features (I think it use to be called agitated depression) while undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. That sucks as I have to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital and be transported back and forth to the medical facility for treatment. Plus it usually starts off as a voluntary admission, but it never stays that way. But I hate it when people say things like, “oh, I’m sorry your life is so hard,” “I couldn’t deal with that,” “I think I would off myself if I was in your shoes.” Like the last one, go F off. But overall I’m a pretty happy person. My life may be harder, but it’s the only life I can get and I’m happy and I want to live it. I had to learn that I don’t care if others think, it’s my life and I think it’s a life worth living.
Me, an anxious hypochondriac: A yes, let's watch this one, what's the worst that can happen? Got about halfway through, have to stop now. Bad idea. BAD IDEA.
That story really, really hurts differently from experience. I could not imagine wanting to live again, but then realizing i didn't have a choice and was going to die anyways. That is some heavy stuff.
Word to the wise don't listen to this unless you want to feel depressed af. It's cancer, cancer, blindness, stroke, dementia, cancer. Also don't watch it while sleep deprived and missing your parents who are both dead.... from cancer.
I'm a pediatric cancer survivor of almost 10 years. I was diagnosed when I was 19 and did treatment at Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. Hearing the screams and wails of the children from the pain due to the treatment or of the parents realizing the severity of their child's condition/prognosis is something you never forget... I still hear them from time to time and everytime I go into a hospital it hits me like a train. Hug your kids, siblings or relatives. You never know how precious little time you actually have until you're in one of those rooms.
My grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer the day after Christmas in 2017 it was so far gone that they weren't even able to tell what sort of cancer it was, she was given 2 weeks to live she showed no symptoms other than a bloated stomach. We had to go and break to news to her husband (my grandfather) of 62 years and no even to days later he passed away from heartbreak. The look on the nurses face from the home he was staying at when she had to tell her i just wanted to hug her i felt so awful that she had to be the one do deliver the news. My grandma was a stubborn lady in the best way and wouldn't say no to ANY work, I only even seen her cry 2 times in my whole life even though I loved with her for almost 16 years, once when I was in court at 9 and the other was when the nurse told her. Her eyes filled with tears and she simply said "he's at peace" 😭 she passed in October of 2018.
8:39 I feel so sorry for this poor girl. She had to watch as her parents slowly wasted away at the same time, and then pass away. If I knew her, I’d give her a hug.
Diagnosing someone with a prion. I’m no doctor, but imagine telling someone that they have a disease that cannot be treated in any way and there is a 100% chance they will die.
the retinoblastoma thing is actually really fascinating to me. but also creepy... i mean, just that subtle eye feature you get when using a camera flash can indicate friggen cancer. crazy
22:40 I knew where that story was going when OP posted the start time of their shift. When reading this sort of report, one exact hour is disconcerting, and two is alarming.
My mother passed from an aneurysm. She knew 9 months before she died that it could rupture anytime and that she would be gone in about a minute. It was hard for her children to accept it but she lived with it, just going about her daily life. They run in my family so I'm extra vigilant about it.
@@CJODell12 By the time they found it, they told her she wouldn't survive the surgery and it was close to rupturing. She was close to 90. She lived 9 months before it took her.
I have complex regional pain syndrome. I was able to keep my hand but it’s excruciating and atrophied my wrist has come apart slightly and you can stick your finger down into it where it separates. I can kinda use it now but the doctor yelled at me and my mom for crying because “you don’t need surgery” it has no treatment.
People already have a hard time grasping the fact they'll die, but to hear it'll be way sooner to the point it could be in the same day, week, month, or year as when asked about is another level of worry.
14:40 my cousin had a similar thing happen, but when his parents (well, his dad, his mom was in another country for work at the time) asked "is he going to die?" the response was "No" "Oh good" "No, he's already dead. His heart's still beating - boop, boop, boop, see? - but all it's doing is keeping the other organs fresh for transplant, if that's something you're okay with" Bad doctor, IMO.
There are some things that will fuck you up when you see them but you just get used to them over time. Not a doctor or a med student, but i do read med journals and images. Some are terrible but seeing it in real life after the human connection is definitely going to be way way worse
I have CRPS. I also have an absolute shit ton of other shit that I am dealing with too. I've got dysautonomia, insulin dependent diabetes, adrenal insufficiency (secondary to one of a number of my meds or a combination of them--> nearly ALL of them affect the HPA axis triggering secondary adrenal insufficiency), CIDP, malignant hypertension that has affected the vessels in my kidneys, liver and eyes --> the malignant hypertension is a result of the dysautonomia, adult onset tourettes and anxiety and depression (a mix of tem being primary diagnoses and also secondary to all of the shit I'm trying to manage). The CIDP has caused cubital and carpal tunnel. I am looking into having surgery done in an attempt to reduce the symptoms of the two problems triggered by the CIDP. Some days I feel like I'm on a roller coaster from hell and I just want to get off of the ride.
Thay story about the daughter losing her parents to dementia hit me close to home. My family has a long record of dementia in those who lived long enough to start showing signs. My great grandma had been diagnosed with dementia when i turned 12. I watched her slip away but i never had the heart to try to bring her back to the present like my mother and grandmother did. I didnt see the reason to hurt her emotionally every single day. About 4 months before she left us for good, she started asking where booboo papa (her husband) was. They kept telling her he had passed and the screams of pure agony never got easier. I jusy told her he was out in the graveyard (he was the groundskeeper for the family cemetery and thats what he did in retirement), and he would be home later. I remember my mom telling me what she said on her last day on earth.. she said "Ron, Ron is that you? Is it time to go now?" And went unconscious. She never woke up after that.
So many glaucoma stories! Its heartbreaking as I've gotten away really lucky with glaucoma with a rare type and a rare reaction... i feel so bad for all these people living in the dark
19:13 Not a med professional. Im here right now with my brother and only family. Stage 4 and DNR, just put on hospice for uncontrollable pain. He's 63. I convinced him to retire last year. 2 weeks after receiving his first SS check he's diagnosed. If you are considering retirement, do it! Nobody knows how much time they have.
When i was mauled by a dog i was rushed into hospital with serious injuries. The er doctor did an amazing job of stitching my face up with out leaving any scars. You wouldn't be able to tell i had been mauled. Only way you know is im missing my left ear. But on the flip side the surgeon of that hospital sent me home with my left thumb hanging from my hand by a small bit of skin and told me to wait for a phone call. The er doc was going mad as well as my husband but i was escorted from the hospital. After getting no call from the surgeon my husband called and he was a butthead and said he doesn't deal with military insurance and hung up. I had to drive to the nearest hospital that was an hr away. Apparently i was dying from a bone and blood infection. ( i didn't feel like i was that sick either) and the surgeon who saved my life is a rock star. I may not have a functional thumb but he still saved it. And i have my life. Dr Robert if you see this thank you for saving me and the whole time i was in hospital thank you for hanging out with me on your lunch break! The hospital that sent me away is called battle creek emergency room Michigan. The hospital who saved me was Kalamazoo er. Battle creek one is known as the hospital of death. You may go in but may not always check out. Tiktok dance videos are more important there. Send love to all the great doctors please!
I’m not a doctor but my uncle had a stroke and went into a coma in the hospital, when we went to visit him he was moving a little and it seemed like he was reacting to sound so we assumed he might recovering ,Nope he was having seizers and he died a few days later
Not a doctor but a patient. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which isn’t really a horrible diagnosis - at worst, I have to take medication for the rest of my life as my thyroid would be non-existent. But my mom cried at the news when the doctor broke it to her. I didn’t really feel much. My mom just kept crying and telling me it’ll be all right. I ended up trying to comfort her instead and we got bubble tea shortly after, which I assume was her attempt at making me feel better.
The worst thing about my job is seeing the blown pupils of a child and knowing the parents are about to live their worst nightmare. For those not in the know, blown pupils means the brain is dead.
12:06 I have crps. Since i was 15. In my left foot. Ive barely had any issue in months and havent had a flare since 2018-2019, around christmas. Its not a death sentence if treated--no wheelchair or withering either. Its just agnozing pain (worse with a flare of course) amd weakness. The variation mentioned, the one i have, causes your limb to feel lifelessly cold and temp is so different from the other limbs. It may turn blue. But it is still alive and hasnt withered away. They are seriously exagerating here. Again, its not great news but its not horrible news either. A necessary amputation would be worse news.
@@kristinpraus1600 i dont wanna die because i have the condition. My hell is being autistic and forced into a woeld i dont understand because my family didnt want to do their duty... Also its now in my dominant hand...
Here's one not entirely medical: Three year old develops cancer of the optic nerve and has double enucleation. Time goes by, family has more children. One day blind sister, now ten, takes her usual turn to watch 18 month old brother. She loses track of him and he drowns in the family swimming pool. Heartbreak x 100.
I'm train to be an emt. One day before I went to work my grandmother asked me to wake up my mother I tried for several minutes and she seem she was asleep. Went to work later I was called an told she was taken to the er she had overdose one fentanyl. I stop what I was doing I started running to the hospital. The damage was done she was brain dead. I also was the first at the er and signed the dnr. I can't do health care for anyone do too much death I have seen.
I don't know how true it was but I heard a story where a girl had some problems like say being blind or slightly retarded I don't remember and a guy was treating her as perfectly as possible like you here in a romantic movie where the guy normally gets friendzoned but for some reason he wasn't friend zone and they actually dated and then he propose to her and she said yes and then the next part of the story was basically they never got married because one day she woke up after her boyfriend had went to work and by the time the boyfriend showed up at the hospital she was dead. This took place in the city with the subway so he was probably far away from the hospital.
The truck driver poably went to a skilled nursing facility! I worked at one and had several young guys who ended up there because they had no where to go!
@@mpcrauzer OK, thanks, didn't want to assume and possibly upset you - Symptoms. I completely understand where you got your assumption of the spelling, it's one of those silly words.
@@saffiyahummaya8994 Thank you very much. I wish I could keep it consistent, I tend to usually get people mad at me for such a suggestion or just wording things wrong.
You know it’s going to be a sad video just with the first story. Some higher power really did NOT want those parents to have a child. All that work and money to have one only to have that child die in less than a year.
The mom at 20:49-was her holding onto blind optimism genuinely a stupid decision within the situation, or does it just seem more unreasonable (to me, at least) because of the video title giving context for what is about to happen?
Except that Dr Greene was really sweet to the little girl, and actually made that comment to an old lady with a hangnail who was whining about thr pain.
I call bullshit on the homeless spinal cord injury patient being “kicked out” of the hospital. I work in a hospital in the US South (basically a healthcare desert), and even we have perfectly able-bodied but homeless patients who have been medically stable for discharge for months, who are just wandering the halls and waiting around for the courts to appoint a guardian. No one is dumping a paralyzed, totally dependent person with no family onto the streets.
One day you are living the time of your life and the next day you have cancer, a heart attack, an accident, etc, and your life is gone. There is no god.

My great grandma had been diagnosed with dementia when i turned 12. I watched her slip away but i never had the heart to try to bring her back to the present like my mother and grandmother did. I didnt see the reason to hurt her emotionally every single day. About 4 months before she left us for good, she started asking where booboo papa (her husband) was. They kept telling her he had passed and the screams of pure agony never got easier. I jusy told her he was out in the graveyard (he was the groundskeeper for the family cemetery and thats what he did in retirement), and he would be home later. I remember my mom telling me what she said on her last day on earth.. she said "Ron, Ron is that you? Is it time to go now?" And went unconscious. She never woke up after that.
Anyone who is able to finish this video is a brave soul
So many glaucoma stories! Its heartbreaking as I've gotten away really lucky with glaucoma with a rare type and a rare reaction... i feel so bad for all these people living in the dark
19:13 Not a med professional. Im here right now with my brother and only family. Stage 4 and DNR, just put on hospice for uncontrollable pain. He's 63. I convinced him to retire last year. 2 weeks after receiving his first SS check he's diagnosed. If you are considering retirement, do it! Nobody knows how much time they have.
wow had to stop with the 5 yr old that had to have her eyes removed, I have a 5 yr old daughter and that post about killed me :(
When i was mauled by a dog i was rushed into hospital with serious injuries. The er doctor did an amazing job of stitching my face up with out leaving any scars. You wouldn't be able to tell i had been mauled. Only way you know is im missing my left ear. But on the flip side the surgeon of that hospital sent me home with my left thumb hanging from my hand by a small bit of skin and told me to wait for a phone call. The er doc was going mad as well as my husband but i was escorted from the hospital. After getting no call from the surgeon my husband called and he was a butthead and said he doesn't deal with military insurance and hung up. I had to drive to the nearest hospital that was an hr away. Apparently i was dying from a bone and blood infection. ( i didn't feel like i was that sick either) and the surgeon who saved my life is a rock star. I may not have a functional thumb but he still saved it. And i have my life. Dr Robert if you see this thank you for saving me and the whole time i was in hospital thank you for hanging out with me on your lunch break! The hospital that sent me away is called battle creek emergency room Michigan. The hospital who saved me was Kalamazoo er. Battle creek one is known as the hospital of death. You may go in but may not always check out. Tiktok dance videos are more important there. Send love to all the great doctors please!
this has been one of the most depressing videos yet
I’m not a doctor but my uncle had a stroke and went into a coma in the hospital, when we went to visit him he was moving a little and it seemed like he was reacting to sound so we assumed he might recovering ,Nope he was having seizers and he died a few days later
I have CRPS, too, and it sucks soooo bad. I live in constant burning pain.
Not a doctor but a patient. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which isn’t really a horrible diagnosis - at worst, I have to take medication for the rest of my life as my thyroid would be non-existent. But my mom cried at the news when the doctor broke it to her. I didn’t really feel much. My mom just kept crying and telling me it’ll be all right. I ended up trying to comfort her instead and we got bubble tea shortly after, which I assume was her attempt at making me feel better.
These are making me scared i might have something that is killing me and i just have no idea
Lol the one with the hippo sized CAT scan
The worst thing about my job is seeing the blown pupils of a child and knowing the parents are about to live their worst nightmare.
For those not in the know, blown pupils means the brain is dead.
What do blown pupils look like?
@@liagamer4265 The Iris covers the pupil.
that’s so sad.. i’m sorry
5:13 God damn. I had this same type of cancer. I'm lucky that I made it out with a functioning eye.
12:06
I have crps. Since i was 15. In my left foot. Ive barely had any issue in months and havent had a flare since 2018-2019, around christmas. Its not a death sentence if treated--no wheelchair or withering either. Its just agnozing pain (worse with a flare of course) amd weakness. The variation mentioned, the one i have, causes your limb to feel lifelessly cold and temp is so different from the other limbs. It may turn blue. But it is still alive and hasnt withered away. They are seriously exagerating here.
Again, its not great news but its not horrible news either. A necessary amputation would be worse news.
I have CRPS too! My mom saw a poster about types of chronic pain and CRPS was its own bullet point.
It also has the nickname "the Suicide Disease" because of how awful it is.
@@kristinpraus1600 i dont wanna die because i have the condition. My hell is being autistic and forced into a woeld i dont understand because my family didnt want to do their duty...
Also its now in my dominant hand...
@sheyennemerritt3215 I'm so sorry, I wish this illness was easier for all of us, and that you have many good days and nights ahead of you.
Here's one not entirely medical: Three year old develops cancer of the optic nerve and has double enucleation. Time goes by, family has more children. One day blind sister, now ten, takes her usual turn to watch 18 month old brother. She loses track of him and he drowns in the family swimming pool. Heartbreak x 100.
The most gut wrenching video I've seen on YT
21:14 she could be sad but not able to feel sad if that makes sense
This is the first time where the music not fitting the content is actually a good thing, since it gives me something to fall back on.
id hate to have constant pain
Okay the zoo one was funny XD
Around 17:00 -- A good news story amongst all the bad ones.
why did i choose to do this to myself today?
I'm train to be an emt. One day before I went to work my grandmother asked me to wake up my mother I tried for several minutes and she seem she was asleep. Went to work later I was called an told she was taken to the er she had overdose one fentanyl. I stop what I was doing I started running to the hospital. The damage was done she was brain dead. I also was the first at the er and signed the dnr. I can't do health care for anyone do too much death I have seen.
I don't know how true it was but I heard a story where a girl had some problems like say being blind or slightly retarded I don't remember and a guy was treating her as perfectly as possible like you here in a romantic movie where the guy normally gets friendzoned but for some reason he wasn't friend zone and they actually dated and then he propose to her and she said yes and then the next part of the story was basically they never got married because one day she woke up after her boyfriend had went to work and by the time the boyfriend showed up at the hospital she was dead. This took place in the city with the subway so he was probably far away from the hospital.
The truck driver poably went to a skilled nursing facility! I worked at one and had several young guys who ended up there because they had no where to go!
Not gonna lie, this made me cry
My family by parte of mother has an history of dementia, my grandmother is starting to show some of the simpthomes
Oh geez, I'm sorry.
May I show the correct spelling for the last word? Sorry if this is a bad time.
@@Roadent1241 sure, its not a problem
@@mpcrauzer OK, thanks, didn't want to assume and possibly upset you -
Symptoms.
I completely understand where you got your assumption of the spelling, it's one of those silly words.
@@Roadent1241 what a lovely way to deal with that. You have lovely manners and a super kind way of speaking ☺️
@@saffiyahummaya8994 Thank you very much. I wish I could keep it consistent, I tend to usually get people mad at me for such a suggestion or just wording things wrong.
3 minutes is all I could stand to listen to. This is just too depressing.
You know it’s going to be a sad video just with the first story. Some higher power really did NOT want those parents to have a child. All that work and money to have one only to have that child die in less than a year.
The mom at 20:49-was her holding onto blind optimism genuinely a stupid decision within the situation, or does it just seem more unreasonable (to me, at least) because of the video title giving context for what is about to happen?
😢 Why?! 😥
Except that Dr Greene was really sweet to the little girl, and actually made that comment to an old lady with a hangnail who was whining about thr pain.
I call bullshit on the homeless spinal cord injury patient being “kicked out” of the hospital. I work in a hospital in the US South (basically a healthcare desert), and even we have perfectly able-bodied but homeless patients who have been medically stable for discharge for months, who are just wandering the halls and waiting around for the courts to appoint a guardian. No one is dumping a paralyzed, totally dependent person with no family onto the streets.
21:18 that is what happens with many female patients
Now I don’t want to be a doctor.
God damn it! I just started watching ER! Spoilers!! 😡
Remember guys, therapy is always good! Doctors themselves often need it due to the nature of their job, so make sure you keep your mental health safe!
Oh god
My mum has crps
:(
One day you are living the time of your life and the next day you have cancer, a heart attack, an accident, etc, and your life is gone. There is no god.
Sadge.
Lol'd hard at 6:30
>attempt suicide
"Nevermind I want to live."
"Lol that sucks."
Mmm interesting
oof
last
Change that photo,pride mount has ended
@@alexandruchira184 why would they get rid of their pfp just because pride month is over?
@@alexandruchira184 why do you think anyone would ever listen to your demands
@@arrowdynamlc it is not mine demends it was a social compromise that for a mouth you are free to bee as free as you want regarding your sexuality but now that ended so you should show decency and chose a neutral photo
@@isthisafebrezecommercial5700 because after the pride mounth we should keep our sexuality for ourself and suport LGBT to private
24:08 That's not funny, that's fucking fatphobic. I'm very overweight and I'd feel so bad in her place. Nothing funny about it for the patient. I mean, good for you guys you found something to weight her with, but damn, think about your patients feelings damn
