@Benjamin Hughes (hatchimal and slush productions) but is it good enough to lose limbs over?
A man binged Chubbyemu videos, this is what happened to his anxiety.
Hahaha
Anxiety starts to grow rapidly and starts to form anxiety cloths in his brain😏
he later developed high blood pressure and died due to a stroked caused by his high blood pressure which was caused by his anxiety which developed due to the binging of chubbyemu YT videos

Blame FDR

Found the American.
Literally had to take my roommate to an ER once in an Uber for this reason.
A man loses his limbs all because he ate bad leftovers? That's the most unfair thing to happen in someone's life I've ever heard. Simply tragic.
Nah he lost his limbs cos neither his parents nor he himself got him properly vaccinated.
:(
Imagine he died from that
and them homeless fellas still go strong 😂
@@keenoled Both.
I love how his room mate is like "well this food is bad so i will put it in fridge to eat it later after it gets worse"
Yer I don't understand why his mate brought it home if he knew it was bad - As they say human stupidity knows no bounds
I'm guilty of doing that.
Luckily it wasn't tainted. It was homemade sushi, and I suffered for 3 days to eventually learn my body doesn't handle mirin well.
A set up
He was a college student who was low on cash and probably didn't want to waste food.
@@pfpchad2747 Doesn't matter, the food was clearly bad already. Student or not, low cash or not, its bad, he already threw up from it.
IMAGINE BEING THE ROOMMATE WHO CAME HOME AFTER THE WORST FOOD POISINING OF HIS LIFE, AND THEN DECIDING TO REFRIGERATE THE LEFTOVERS FOR WHATEVER REASON.
Seriously!!! Just throw it out
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." Mark Twain.
He probably wanted to keep the food in order to file a lawsuit later :S
he probably got the food poisoning at the dorm and forgot to throw out the food
he probably feels so guilty about it oof
Rule #1: Don’t eat other people’s food without asking.
Rule #2: Don’t keep food that made you sick in the fridge.
Rule #3: These videos still scare the crap out of me.

#5 Produce video as a scare tactic to get people to vaccinate.
@@paulweston8184 its already terrifying, luckily this specific thing is rare
W/ respect to rule 3....THEY SHOULD.
As someone who's had food poisoning 3 times in my life, I strongly live by the "when in doubt, throw it out," mentality. Each time I got it was an absolutely miserable experience.
suprised took you 3 hits, lol
@@Trashm1n Yeah, first time I got it was in middle school. They served me a bad pizza during lunch and I puked all over the hallway.
Second time was in high school when my older sister brought me some duck from her job. Woke up and immediately puked at like 3 in the morning.
Last time was when I was in college and cooked up a box of off brand white cheddar Mac and Cheese. And you guessed it, more projectile vomiting.
Now if I have even a hint of a doubt if something is bad or tastes off, like I've had when I ate all 3 of those prior things, into the bin it goes.
I live by "if it's been 2 days since cooked, throw it the fuck out", this doesn't apply to anything that's packaged though, besides previously cooked pastas
Thing is, you can't really know what will cause a food poisoning. I had it after buying some mushrooms from the store, cooked them on the stove in sauce, and after eating it, my body immediately rejected it through throwing it up. Other time I had a bad food poisoning after a medium rare steak in a restaurant. Never again.
My friend, June, almost died from a bad case of food poisoning. She picked up e. Coli and Salmonella from the work cafeteria at the same time.
She ended up in the hospital for three weeks. The first week was just trying to identify exactly what she had, getting her stabilized, and getting her on the right medications. The next week was treating the infection and getting her rehydrating. The last week was getting her metabolism normalized and into recovery.
Food poisoning is nothing to fool with.
I love that he notes how an ambulance would be too expensive. Accurate AF
poor guy instead ends up in a helicopter and 2 hospitals for a month...imagine THAT bill :l
@@SafffOneee he will be a slave of banks for all of his life
I can only imagine the psychological distress when he came out of his coma to find his legs and other bits gone. Mother of god.
a bit of a downer but overall, still better to be alive.
@@1MinuteFlipDoc “a bit of a downer” is an understatement. Imagine waking up and your body is irreparably altered. Getting used to it is all well and good, but the immediate shock must be hard.
@@DeathnoteBB would be a bit of a bummer
@@DeathnoteBB Would definitely be a drag
@@1MinuteFlipDoc Depends on your perspective.
Watching these stories has made me far less likely to risk eating food that might be a bit iffy. In the bin is better than in my system.
If in doubt, throw it out.
Yep. Anything that looks or smells even slightly weird gets yeeted.
Yeah, if you have ANY doubts, better not to eat it
main reason he suffered from this was becuase he was not up to date on his vaccinations if your up to date on all your vaccinations i assume this would be way less likely to happen (im not a medical pro)
Just last night, I was about to eat something, but saw the printed "Best By January 14, 2021", so I changed my mind and threw it out, but not before my roommate asked if it really looked moldy or smelled bad, because it might still be okay. Yeah, no thanks. I made a trip to the grocery store for more food.
"knowing that an ambulance would be too expensive..." this phrase makes me feel so bad for anyone unfortunate enough to require "healthcare" in America.
My son's mother made spaghetti with old moldy mushrooms once and didn't tell me. She didn't eat it but I did and I nearly died. Looking back I think she may have tried to poison me on purpose bc she later broke up with me and claimed I was physically abusive to put me on child support. It didn't go to court bc I wasn't physically abusive. It was in fact the opposite. She knew what would happen when proof came out in court. But to think she may have tried to kill me and pass it off as an accident sends chills up my spine.
Twisted stuff 😮
Im sorry.
My sons mother??? Or stepmother?
@@ZuriVoid his son's mother....... His ex wife
@@vanshikasharmabanotra oh...
I love how in the reenactment his friend just steps over him even though he looks dead on the floor
It's realistic with an actual roommate.
The bit where he dies, and the doctor just stepped over him, was cold too.
I feverishly fell to the floor outside my professor’s room, from flu, and my teacher stepped over me to get to his classroom!
College just be like that sometimes
More importantly he had left poison in the fridge.
Having the opening about how this case was a "perfect storm sequence of events" is a great idea to not panic the public. Good thinking
What exactly caused it to happen? The guy it happened to who ate the left overs didn't get the full vaccine doses, but his roommate did. So his roommates saliva had traces of it or something?
@@XexalSeyer no the food was infected, otherwise his roommate would have felt sick out of nowhere, which just doesnt happen
With comments like Phoenix's, Bernard must have seen a need.
@@arthurmarmocathala Makes sense, thanks for clarifying, so the room mate had gotten it too but was fully vaccinated against it.
Man, I gotta get me some of these vaccines o . o
Did his roommate throw up back into the noodle box and then JC ate them? Did I catch that right?
What a horrific story. That poor young man. I’m 69. I’ve never heard of such dire consequences like this one. This takes food poisoning into a completely other deadly level. I have not one clue if I’ve ever been vaccinated for meningitis or it’s relatives?
You can always check with your PCP doctor! Many will have records of your past vaccines. If they don’t have that, then sometimes it is possible to give a blood sample to test for immunity as well, I believe. Unsure if that can be done with this though, sorry.
funny number 69
@@DruidspellTheEliteReal.grow up whats funny in this number?
@@DoKuShOsTaReven if they're unsure, there's no risk associated with an extra dose of vaccine - at least, lower risk than the actual illness!
@@DruidspellTheEliteReal. it’s just an age and if you’re lucky you’ll get that old as well
I think if memory serves me right, this is how my father passed away over 3.5 years ago. He didnt lose any limbs but he lost his life. This is very similar to what has happened to him. Back then, we took him to two hospitals and doctors had an idea what it was but couldn't have the root cause. They suspected that it was a bacterial infection from the mouth. He died almost 3 weeks after he was admitted to a hospital. It's a terrible disease that I hope to God that anybody I know doesn't get it.
I am so sorry that you had to live through that. It must have been very7 painful. You and your family made the best decisions you could based on the information you had at the time. I am so sorry for your loss.
My Mothers motto towards leftovers was "If in doubt, throw it out". I still follow that and so does my family.
I've eaten way out of date salmon and raw bacon I may be the next guy he talks about.
With that logic and my anxiety that means everything in my fridge is getting thrown out lol
When in doubt ask about mystery meat in a shared refrigerator! Or go without for a while.
indeed. i been dumpster diving at grocery stores for years and never gotten sick from the food, even some expired. i do have an amazing immune system and pretty fit but ive been extra careful when cooking after watching this channel. never hurts to be a little hypochondriac so you can atleast learn some human physiology and respect the miracles your body does everyday
I wish I could afford to do that...
That went real bad real fast. My coworker had meningoencephalitis recently, reading up on that shit is terrifying. Dude spent two weeks in a coma and two months in the hospital, hearing how fast it can go from 0 to 100 it seems like a miracle he came out of it relatively well.
To be fair, Chubbyemu presents the more interesting cases. Most of the time 'food poisoning' is vomiting and wishing to be dead for a few days, instead of actually dying. This kind of reactions is still quite rare.
@@robertnett9793 Would have been even more rare had he gotten the correct vaccination. Amazing so many people now are turning their back on modern medicine in favor of politics and conspiracy theories.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 In this case, more likely negligence than politics.
Your co-worker is lucky - my wife’s co-worker died one week after contracting meningoencephalitis in Central America.
@@jimmysmith8231 And that is why I got vaccinated before I first visited SE Asia. I was NOT taking any chances. I'll get caught up on all my shots before I leave the country again.
Man, this videos are wonderfully made. Very eerie, but also very informative. I always knew that meningitis vaccines were important, but i had no idea that they could prevent this kind of reaction from food. Fascinating! I wonder if that explains why the roommate only had a typical case of food poisoning, while the other case was so severe. It makes me feel insanely grateful that i received my meningitis vaccinations a while back. It really goes to show you that while such cases are unusual, staying up to date on your vaccinations can save you from a world of trouble.
I have been watching these videos for a while and here are the things i have learned:
1. If food doesn’t seem right, don’t eat it.
2. Do not overeat after not eating much for a long time.
3. Don’t steal roommate’s food, you don’t know where its been.
4. Don’t overdose on anything, even water.
5. Keep up to date on your vaccinations.
6. Be wary around anything that shouldn’t go into your body; don’t put yourself in situations where you could easily mistake it for something edible.
7. If you think something is terribly wrong, go to the ER right away. DO NOT “sleep it off.”
8. For certain foods, especially things like raw fish, make sure you get it from somewhere trustworthy: not a gas station (at least not in US)
9. In general, be wary of food/drink at a gas station that is made in house (soda fountain, nachos, hot dogs, etc.)
10. Do not do dumb things for views, this should be obvious.
11. Emeia means presence in blood.
You are so right about #7. I have allergic reactions to various things so I taught my sister about symptoms of an anaphylaxic reaction. One of her best friends in college ate seafood for the first time. She became very sick. My sister noticed possible signs of an anaphylaxic reaction - a rash, her gait, her speech. Her friend wanted to just go to sleep. My sister called 911. Her friend had such a bad reaction that the EMTs had to use 2 Epipens on the way to the hospital. Her friend fully recovered.
Whenever you say “they make A recovery.” I’m always curious what they didn’t recover from/what functions they lost/changes to their body. It leaves me so curious

yeah he must have been pissed about the TV bill in his room while he was in a coma too, hahahaha.
In the EU we have mandatory health insurance, socialized healthcare or a combination of both and it covers the cost of an ambulance when 112 decides that it is needed. All at costs lower and with better coverage than the US.
He'd been in the ICU at that point. He was already well into bankruptcy territory.
@@a.s.239 And yet, somehow, the life expectancy of nations with socialized medicines comes out ahead of the only major industrialized nation with Darwinian medicine.
@Look up "Dancing Israelis" on DuckDuckGo socialized healthcare directly combats monopolies and consolidation by forcing them to pay a certain rate for every cost and service. look up countries in order of per capita spending on healthcare. the US is the highest by far. even if you were correct about the alternative just being a "bandaid", its still clearly at minimum a far better system than what we have now

Dont keep them more than a day. Always check their smell and appearance.

It breaks my heart sometimes to hear that despite people needing emergency care, the first thing they think about how much it's gonna cost....
what's inconceivable is for a developed country to have life threatening emergencies cost money. I'm sure here millions would protest on the streets the next day if ambulance would start to cost money... But hey, nice army!
That's reality for you. Modern medicine isn't cheap.
I'm not wealthy, but I'd still gladly pay an exorbitant medical bill if the costs came about because of extraordinary treatment that saved my life. Almost anyone would pay whatever they had in order to survive for a bit longer. Few people want to die young.
We are so absolutely privileged to live in this era of modern medicine. For thousands of years, so many conditions that are treatable now would simply kill you, outright, if you had the misfortune of being born in the past.
Random example but Abraham Lincoln had four children and only one of them, just a single one of them, survived into adulthood, living to nearly 83 years of age. The other three of his siblings died at ages 4, 11, & 18.
as a Canadian it's absolutely baffling.
@@inboundonheadingtwo-niner-7196 every other developed country has socialized health care.

Depends what countries you’re comparing to
"free" when everything there has ridiculous prices
@@mcdonkey500 our heathcare is free tho? yeah other shit is expensive but thats because our government sucks and taxes the hell out of everything they can, including food.

First question I ask on a date
Medical laboratory scientist here, excitedly guessed this one as soon as the bruising appeared. I was not expecting it to be N. meningitides from the onset since the food route is such a surprise, but the rest was so textbook.
Thanks for explaining DIC so well, it was never explained very well during my hemostasis unit in hematology as a student. I seriously think this video described DIC better than anything else I've ever watched or read.
Yep
Neat
But is it true that this could have happened from receiving only one dose of the vaccine? now i'm scared because i don't remember getting a second dose. or it may be that the patient had a problem with the immune system?
@@PADARM Don't worry. This was a total freak accident. The chances of this happening to you is less than the chances of winning the lottery which is why it's so remarkable. It could very well be a problem with his over all immune system. Like some can handle steroids' while others can't.
Chiming in to say, yes, thank you for the explanation of DIC. In vet tech school, the explanation dropped a couple steps and thus made less sense (and in typical counter-productive fashion, made it harder to remember).
They actually used this scenario on Grey’s Anatomy this last season. Two friends came into the ER sick from food they’d eaten. One was fine, but the other almost died. He hadn’t had his vaccines.

As a disabled woman, this makes me sad. As disabled people, we ALWAYS try to remind able-bodied people that we are the minority community that you can join at any point in your life.

I remember a senior doctor holding a lecture about clinical microbiology and recalling one of his patients. A mother had brought her son to this doctor for feeling ill, but he only had slight fever. It seemed to be caused by some common cause such as flu, but before sending the patient away the doctor wanted to have a look at the kid's legs. The kid had developed small lesions in his legs, which if I recall right is specific to Neisseria Meningitidis. The doctor said during this lecture, that had he not spotted the lesions, the kid could've likely died as this bacteria requires specific antibiotics that are rarely administered.
🙏🙏🙏
Seeing these red spots is already a signal that it is too late. Kids usually die in this case. A great luck that he is alive.
The way you segment and explain each medical term is very useful and helps me understand the content.
For all the valid complaints I have about doctors' attitudes and incompetence, you are so refreshing. You are an absolute expert. Thank you for all the videos.

Student life..
When I was pregnant, we bought some takeout. I noticed a funky smell coming from the meat so after one bite, I spit it out and decided not to eat it, but ate everything else because it smelled fine and was separate from the other portions. My partner decided to eat it because he couldn't smell it and thought it was just my pregnancy hormones. He threw up that night and had food poisoning and I did not. Those pregnancy hormones actually saved me from being sick 👍
Funnily enough it's a known medical phenomenon that pregnant women have a heightened sense of smell.
and funnily enough it's caused by excess estrogen so it is technically your pregnancy hormones causing the smell.
make sense that you have the pregnancy hormones, there's a lil dude inside your body and it's dangerous for him if you get sick
What happened to him?
@@BusinessGrey death, agonizing death
@@Yatagurusu Women in general have a better sense of smell and color distinction than men. We're better at judging distances and movement, but not so good when it comes to different shades of colors. Working in the kitchen, I always ask my female coworkers to double-check anything I find 'funny smelling', specifically because they have an easier time and are more accurate.
Oh and if anyone is worried about the 'funny smelling' thing; sometimes one food will spread its smell on other foods. So you can end up with, let's say, tomatoes that have a very light smell of aubergines. Neither has gone 'bad' but you get the slight difference in smell and your brain immidiately goes "DANGER DANGER DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING". It's a minor thing 99% of the time but that 1% that the food HAS gone bad just sticks in your mind and you become hyper-sensitive to it.

"knowing that an ambulance would be too expensive" I'm sorry for everyone who feels hesitant to get the help they need because of costs, what a nightmare
>Had to be transported by helicopter
We're past that now.
That particular factoid--the patient's reluctance to call an ambulance due to cost--is likely a dramatic embellishment by Chubbyemu. There is no mention of such a patient decision in the original New England Journal article. Of course, your general concern, that patients make potential life-threatening decisions based on cost of care, is an important one.
Where I live it's $800. a crack if no insurance and Medicare doesn't cover it.
My American bf broke his arm (his bone was sticking out) and I was going to call the ambulance. He said no because it's very expensive. i said I'll drive to the er, he said, "no, find an urgent care, it's cheaper".
Only Americans go through this. I'm from a '"third world country" and we don't have to think about how much when we are sick.
@@18bhfbpt61 it does happen. An ambulance ride can cause you $500 even with insurance, especially if you don't have 0 deductible.
Your videos are fascinating! I'm not sure why I chose to watch this video before I ate dinner tonight though. And we had leftovers 😅
When I had covid the same bruises appeared on my body and my platelets decreased to 13000. They said that was a rare case and other patient, an old woman, had the same problems and her platelets decreased to 3000. Luckily I didn't need blood transfusion and I think the old woman got through that too.
Even while literally dying he thought that treatment would be too expensive. Sad truth is he wasn't wrong.
The funny thing is that the USA thinks they are the best place to live, while common people accept such hurdles in the healthcare system as normal, other people from around the World haven't even heard of (and I am not talking about just developed western countries).
@@fenrirr22 I live in the USA and I'd say pretty much everyone I know believes our healthcare system is a scam and completely insane.

They even called for the helicopter to transfer him to another hospital but when they tried, he started to crash and they couldn't transfer him. He had staphylococcus aureus that got into his heart when a different hospital drained bloody fluid from around his right lung when he had positive blood cultures already. It took about 3 months for his bacterial pneumonia to turn into severe endocarditis. He was the first patient at the hospital he was at to undergo a newer procedure to suction the bacterial growths out of the heart by threading a suction device through the femoral and jugular veins. It went so much better than expected, getting 70% of the bacterial vegetation out, almost instantly he was feeling much better and then 3 days later a different valve in his heart ruptured. His cardiologist told me he was going to publish my husband's extremely rare case and I hope he does. The 3 days he spent on life support were the worst, most traumatic days of my life. He was so swollen and we weren't sure if he was brain dead but his pupils were non-reactive starting at the end of day 2. The nurse called me at 5 am on day 3 to tell me it was time to come in because she was sure he was gonna crash very soon. He ended up holding on until around 10pm, and passed away within an hour of his 2 oldest children getting to the hospital to say goodbye.
I miss him everyday of my life. I'm only 26, we have identical twin 2 year olds and an 11 month old together. He was the best dad, a once in a lifetime kind of man I had the privilege of being with. I hope his death wasn't in vain and there's something to be learned about dealing with right-sided tricuspid endocarditis and thrombocytopenia with multiple system multi organ failure and sepsis in the bones.
Yeah, this one really got to me. If you read all this, thanks for letting me tell you about my husband. Have a great day and stay healthy.
Paislee, I am so very sorry this has happened to your family. Your world changed over night. My prayers are with you and your children. 💝
Sorry to hear hope you're doing better
My deepest condolences. I hope you and your family are coping well with such a loss. Thank you for telling your story ❤️

How on earth did Neisseria meningitidis get on food? Maybe I'm not super up to date on my N. Meningitidis vectors, but food was not one I learned. Informative and truly terrifying, I'm glad the blood bottles were worked up quick enough to provide the care team with a diagnosis, cause this is terrifying. Blood bottles are always terrifying
Normaly that kind of infection is caught with close contact during a lot of time . Being roomates simply explain that.
Thank you for telling us the names of the diseases and stuff, I write them down on notes because my cousin is in college and she's studying medical acr I send her the new things I learn
Wait a minute. His roommate barfed the food up too, but STILL decided to keep it???
And put it in the common fridge!!
And stepped over his fallen roommate instead of helping him up.
We’ve been always told to save food. Either that or he was intentionally trying to kill his “friend” for always eating his leftover/food. It’d be the perfect crime
Well last year, I ate a huge load of 2 days old pastas, and 2 hours later threw them up, but it actually was a gastro enteritis, my mother and my coworkers got it too, I could have thought it was the pasta I ate, but it wasn t, so, it might not always be the food 🤷♂️
@@baptisteandre8176 It's really hard to tell. Once I ate a small bowl of washed raw baby carrots. I threw up immediately and I was fine.
No one else in the world can make me go through an existential crisis as easily as this man. Thanks Chubbyemu.
Now you'll think thrice before eating something and basically doing whatever you want
You haven’t met my friend DiMiTri.
worrying too much over anything isnt good for your health too. just relax
I know they saved his life, but JC's experience besides that has pretty much been: "We took your limbs, here's your bill"... and that bill won't be small.
Hahahahaha...man I absolutely love your videos.! ..I watched about 10 episodes one right after the other . I was able to laugh and learn...for that I thank you..

Meningococcal is legitimately terrifying. Imagine having flu-like symptoms one week and being a multiple amputee the next.

My mother had a phrase about food that might not be safe for whatever reason: "When in doubt, throw out". Better to apparently waste food if it looks bad, then risk getting salmonella, etc.she told us.

But it didn't look bad

Some of my doctor colleagues have come across patients who have *DIED* from Meningococcemia / Meningo-encephalitis (thankfully not myself yet). When it leads to sepsis, it can be life-threatening. If those red/purple skin bruises appear, and don’t disappear when you press a glass against it, get medical help IMMEDIATELY. Obviously there are other signs here that mean you need immediate medical help - altered mental status, constant vomiting, tachypnea (fast breathing) etc.
Sometimes there’s no rash .
Even if you do die, you’ll be missed
@@cherrymetha3185 you're absolutely right! Just a single one of the above signs/symptoms would warrant calling for an ambulance / visiting the ER. It can present in many different ways, so if you have even the slightest concern, you ought to seek urgent medical help ASAP! As a doctor, these clues can help us put together a diagnosis while we're awaiting the blood culture results etc. and treat empirically in the meantime based on clinical suspicion
@@DoctorAzmain I have seen lots of vets list when you should come in ASAP with your pet and lots of discussion on the topic by pet owners. Yet when it comes to people, I see a lot of ignorance about what symptoms say "Get attention now". Which is sad, because doctors can do a lot of amazing things but they can't turn back the clock.

As a kidney transplant recipient at the age of 8, when i was around 12 I caught meningitis. 105+ degree temp. hallucinations. vomiting. was awful. probably could have died. the healthcare system/institution itself while flawed in management in the US atleast, the wonders of modern medicine will never be lost on me and I am forever grateful for my doctors and all other healthcare providers
Be grateful to money. There are many in poor countries who cannot even afford food let alone hospitals and doctors.
@@Rikka_V1 Yes in the very most poor and fucked-up countries but the US lags far behind all the other "first world" countries and most "developing" countries as well for medical care. People in the US need to get a lot more angry about this.

@@alexcarter8807 Agreed. Though "free healthcare" via the government as activists want won't work. I think we should take a closer look at Japan's system. It's not single payer, yet manages to produce excelent facilities and relatively low cost via a subsidy system.
@@alexcarter8807 that is incredibly false
JC: **literally on the floor, struggling to breathe**
Roommate: haha ikr **casually walks over him**
That cracked me up lmao
One time a guy in my dorm passed out in the hall and multiple people walked over and around him, so honestly this feels legit to me. Roommates can be dicks.
I once was having an asthma attack. I was on the phone with my mother at the time when it happened (cat fur on the sofa I was sitting on). My mother told me she was driving up to meet me at my nearest hospital (90 minute drive for her). We hung up and I called 9-1-1. All the while my roommate came in, looked at me, didn't say a word or seemed worried, and went into her room.
@@RameshKumar-mv3jd ur welcome bhai
@@Evieteresa what the fuck
His roommate seriously threw up his food and still decided to store the rest of it for later... Absolutely disgusting 🤢
I see this less as a cautionary tale, and more as an instruction to how to deal with coworkers stealing your food.
I remember sitting in the doctor's office waiting for my booster so I could go to college. Asked if it would hurt and he responded by explaining what Meningitis was, every form of Meningitis, the symptoms and prognosis, and why schools mandate it. He never did tell me if the vaccine would hurt though.
They never do. Most vaccines are intra-muscular, and they hurt like an absolute bitch. And then you get the jabs that physically cannot be delivered to your arm...
That shot was a bitch. I think everyone who had to take it for college could’ve told you then that your arm would be sore for like a week 😭
I finished this video thinking 'man it seems like a great day to check I'm up to date with my vaccines' bc the doc was right, the vaccine may hurt but if it prevents this heinous shit? Worth
sore arm > no arm

One should always heat leftovers on the stove to the boiling point. Microwaving heats food inconsistently.

Thank you for the sepsis description and images. I have an infection in a surgical incision right now and my mind was playing tricks because my hands are splotchy. Not newly splotchy. I feel I have a better idea of what sepsis looks like now and it has put my mind somewhat at ease. ❤️
Wish you better! 🌸
Dang, hope you're able to have that infection looked at soon. That sounds really scary.
You got antibiotics right?
hope you get recover asap, make sure you are hydrating and eating sleeping enough
Please get checked out asap - sepsis moves fast! Hope you’re okay
I took a bathroom break in the middle of watching this vid and the guy in the stall next to me was talking about how he felt like shit after just eating 2 month old leftovers 💀
EDIT: yes people talk to each other in the dorm stalls it’s normal
that's not a perfect storm of unfortunate circumstances at that point that's just natural selection
what kind of idiot eats 2 month old leftovers??
If my meal prep didn't get eaten that week, it gets thrown away. NO SECOND CHANCES 🤣
Hi dapz
Video idea: eating leftovers and keeping my legs
wow,dats super crazy ,i hope he is doing well now🙏🏻
I had meningococcal meningitis as a child and had a similar rash and lesions all over my body. I was very very lucky in that I dont have any lasting effects other than just a scar on my leg. Still keep in touch with the doctor who looked after me and he is a dear family friend 30 years later.
I've started watching this channel about 2 weeks ago (RUclips recommendation), and then this video comes out. It can't be a coincidence...
I've had meningococcemia as a kid. The diagnosis came quite late and it really could have killed me (the doctors said I probably wouldn't even survive being transferred to another hospital). I also almost became an amputee, as the necrosis on both my hands were starting to become really bad. My parents tell me that the doctors even had already communicated them that the amputation was certain, and had already contacted the plastic surgeon to make the procedure, but at the very last possible examination, they observed that my hands were recovering naturally, and it ended up not happening.
I'm thankful everyday for getting out of this with just some minor scarring. And I'm glad that videos like this exists to raise awareness about those symptoms, as this disease evolves very fast and a quick diagnosis can really save a life - or a normal life for that matter.
Hopefully you are living well now
you were lucky... glad you made it out alive
Thank you for sharing your story! Take care of yourself and be well!
Glad you're well now!
@@theclockworkcadaver7025 LOL, math nerd! Seriously though, it's good to point out that "yes, it CAN happen to you." We humans tend to think that these things only happen to other people.
I think it’s important to emphasize that this is a freak 1 in a billion accident. Meningitis isn’t a bacteria that just randomly grows on food. Like he said it’s spread from person to person. He just as well could’ve gotten it from being in a college dorm (which is where many cases happen and why institutions require vaccination). Point of the matter is: get the meningitis vaccine and reheat your food properly to not get basic food poisoning (bacillus cereus with rice for instance).
he doesn't have meningitis. but meningococcemia
@@rickwrites2612 caused by the same bacteria
Google also says that you are more likely to get this infection when your body is weak. It's possible they both got infected on the campus and the bad food was just that - it could "just" cause food poisoning and weakened the body enough to allow the bacteria to spread rapidly.
@Constantine Constans yeah I think took that too because the school asked for that vaccine, meningitis one
@Constantine Constans "Let me bring up covid for no fucking reason because I'm the smartest guy in the room"
Reminds me of the time I was flattened after eating bad grapes. I could barely open my eyes or move, yet I still made it through and entire shift of work. This is definitely worse - much worse - he is one strong person to pull through. He had something to live for that kept him alive.
2:16 His roommate cold AF just stepped over him and went to his room to chill 😂👌😅
Yeah, he was a dong.
Yoo, that dude lost both legs to some noodles. I guess my life doesn't suck that badly huh.
Roommate must also have had to deal with the whole "I should have thrown those leftovers instead of putting them in the fridge" hanging over his head for years too. Shit's sick.

@@AmericanDivaa Honestly I couldn't feel too guilty about it. He stole his roommate's food and wasn't up to date with the required vaccines. Everything that happened was by his choices.

@@spiffy956 at first I thought these moronic takes were supposed to be jokes, but seeing them so many times has me doubting myself. Honestly, what is wrong with you? The man lost both legs, how is that an appropriate "punishment" for something that small? Are you insane?

“That sumbitch gonna keep stealing my food? This oughta fix him.”
I could see it happening because someone might not be sure what made them sick. They might have eaten other stuff too or something before it.

Great video. I watched another video about this case.
"Knowing that an ambulance would be too expensive." Truer words have never been spoken. I was once hit with a $1925.00 ambulance bill for a 43 mile drive. I asked for an itemized bill. I was charged $600.00 for fuel for that 43 mile drive. The entire "healthcare" industry in America is nothing more than a for profit business. And wow, do they profit!
That's healthcare everywhere. You pay for it in every country, the source is just different.
@@andieallison6792 Yes, but it's not as expensive in other countries because those countries are able to negotiate prices unlike the US who ONLY recently made it legal to negotiate medicine prices. Beforehand, companies could put any price they wanted and the government had to buy it at that price. Why else do you think a vial of insulin costs $100 in the US while it's only $10 on average in other countries?
1925 DOLLARS?!
EX-FUCKING-CUSE ME?!
I've heard about America's expensive hospitals and ambulances, and thought they were $500 on average. I never in my right mind would have thought of a figure as high as almost $2000.
Jesus. I pray for you all living through that shit.
Thieves.
@@andieallison6792 No, it’s really not. People usually pay no more than $100 for hospital visits in Europe, and rarely does it go above ~$20 or so.
I had meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia when I was 27 and suffered many of those same symptoms as JC. It presented as a bad cold in my case. Thankfully I didn't have any amputations but it did leave me permanently blind in one eye, deaf in one ear and stroked out on my left side. It is possible to bounce back but it takes years and you never feel more than 70% on a good day.
