This is how I feel every time I need to see a doctor. It’s like I feel guilty for being ill because I don’t take the best care of myself that I could. Which is true but also meh it’s everybody so why must I do myself that way? So then my doctor walks in while I’m talking to myself saying things like why are you like this man, it doesn’t have to be like this, why can’t I love me??? Oh, hey Doc 😁👍
You don’t have to (or should) feel guilty in front of your doctor. Doctors in most countries are legally obligated to tell you when you’re living unhealthily and what you can do better, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Doctors are there to help you live your best possible life, they don’t morally judge you if you choose an unhealthy lifestyle. Many doctors have their own vices, that’s human.
It can get awkward if a fat doctor tells a fat patient to lose weight.
Keep in mind the doctor gets paid for doing their job, you die if you don’t want to live healthy but they won’t lose much sleep over it. It’s an offer, and you can turn it down.
Being ashamed might lead you to go to the doctor too late etc, just keep it in mind.
I find it hard to open up to doctors too. Especially if you have a symptom that’s vague or embarrassing. But doctors need to know what is going on so that they can give the best possible treatment. They aren’t there to make moral judgments about your life. I like to make a list of my symptoms and questions that I have before I go into my appointment. That way, if I get too anxious I can just hand over the list.
Sameeee, this happens to me, for some reason I feel so guilty and also I tend to think that I'm lying and being dramatic about my symptoms even if It's really bad, I don't know why but I truly feel like it isn't true and I'm completely okay and just wasting their time, and I can't believe that I'm not okay even when the doctor says how bad it is.
It's so weird
I feel the same but not because the doctor makes me feel that way but because they're my colleagues lmao. They're all like, "you of all people know better" 🤣🤣🤣
@@phoenixfire8978 That's a very good tactic. Thanks for sharing 💙
“You’re getting admitted.” LOL!!!
He's not kidding. Happened to me twice now. I went to my GP for what I thought was a viral infection. Sent directly to IC for immediate heart monitoring and spent the week. Went in for a follow up a week later and they rang me the next day and told me to show up with an over night bag for a procedure, but then they kept me in for a week, again. I'll never show up to my doctor's office without at least a spare toothbrush, PJs and a couple of change of unders ever again. :/
Can we just take a moment to admire the Doc's closet. I mean it must be like Mary Poppins magic bag...
This is me trying to get histories as a vet assistant. My favorite is the couple who brought their dog in for seizures (who takes 3 different enormous seizure meds a day) only to find out after like 30 minutes that the dog is probably just dreaming. 😐
A brilliant skit!
"If you don't tell me what I want to hear. You're getting admitted!" Here in the US, that's what we call a death threat!
When you filled out the pre- visit questionnaire 6 years ago and said you have no family history of skin cancer, mention it to your dad later that day and find out like 1/4 of your relatives have had skin cancer, but you’ve never been asked that again so your chart permanently says “no family history of skin cancer” despite asking your dermatologist, the RN, MA, etc multiple times to update your chart.
But other questions pop up in family history questionnaires every time no matter how you answer. 🙄🤦🏽♀️
For real tho!
Do you have an online profile like my chart? You should be able to update in that.
@@devent10n lol I sure do. And I’ve tried. It won’t let me. And the stuff it does let me update has to be approved by someone in clinic but never is. The questionnaires I’m talking about in my comment were done on mychart.
Fun fact, mychart (Epic’s patient portal) has different names and vastly different levels of control a patient has over their own chart, depending on the health system.
Umm my records are all messed up to the point that the only person that has it accuratly is me written down in a notebook.
I hate to tell you but this is extra work for us. In clinic the medical assistants sometimes don’t update the info and I have to update it even though I can’t bill for it. Trust me, no doctor likes to update things like family history or social history. If I did that for 15 patients on a clinic day, it adds time to my busy work load. However, I can’t go argue with the MAs to stop screwing this up, since I am not a senior doc 🤦🏽 Sorry this keeps happening to you.
This was basically my experience as a kid when I came in for pain no one could explain. Turned out its a neurological condition but it was a month of disbelief, abuse and accusations. One nurse even called my school to try and get evidence I was being bullied and lying about my pain to get out of it. I was 7! I liked school and I hated the hospital if I'd been able to just go home and go back I would have. Even once I was diagnosed I was treated as crazy or a liar more often than not and still am sometimes although I finally have a good doctor who believes me.
Relatable only took passing out several times and a seizure at age 14 to be taken seriously about any headache.
@@SpecialBlanket not sure what the name for it is since I'm British but I'm pretty sure it was illegal in someway. But I was a kid and my mum was pretty young herself at the time and too scared for me to pursue it. Same nurse also cornered mum questioning her and trying to make it seem like she wanted me to be sick and that she was a psychopath because she didn't want to cry in front of me. I hope she got her comeuppance in the end.
I understand EXACTLY what you went through to the t given that I myself had and still has that exact same thing happen to me and even a bit worse. So sorry you had to go through that, my friend. Know you are NOT crazy and your experiences and pain is just as valid as anyone else’s. I hope your experience going through this yourself has gotten better over the years, I’m still in the high tensioned part of the fight, but I know I’ll manage. Best wishes !!
@K 31 hours?? I, so glad you’re alright now oh my god
@@leoestrella8 Good luck!!
It kinda feels like giving an interrogation, I had a pt recently with dysphagia and after going through ‘is it a problem with solids, liquids or both, do you ever throw up after?’ I asked him about bad breath and he looked at me like a psychopath.
lol yeah some of the questions we need to ask pt sound insane
Me, doing the most through Neuro pre/post TPA exams- “SHOW ME where did that clot hurt you?! Read this. Look at my fingers. No look at my face. Can you feel this?! Ok. Great. See you in 15 minutes.”
*charts in room anyway to watch for changes
This is what anxiety makes going to the doctor feel like lol
Zenker's?
@@syrushd7384 amen!
Good doc, bad doc !
That's one way to increase compliance.
Yeah, this was my experience going in for Anemia.
"So what made you come in today as opposed to other days?"
"Because it was convenient???"
I wish there was just a detailed questionnaire. Like the chest pain questionnaire, the head ache questionnaire, there stomach ache questionnaire.. etc, based on the complain and then the doctor goes over it with you in the appointment so you can explain without forgetting some parts of it
This was genius. This is how I feel every time I go to Urgent Care 😣
This is legitimately how it feels when you’re an addict, recovering or otherwise, telling ER staff that you’re in pain..
“Oh really now, are you sure you’re not just-“ *shines light in your face* “WITHDRAWING??? Because your chills/throwing up/body pain/dizziness/shortness of breath/passing out/seizures/chest pain/migraine/etc could be withdrawal symptoms or drug seeking behavior”
Like I was on IV fentanyl, IV morphine didn’t even cover my withdrawal let alone my pain when I was forced to be admitted with a blood clot and infection caused dermatitis..
Trust me, more addicts would rather hold up a liquor store than get potentially two seconds of relief after 7 hours of accusations
The one time it took me peeing nothing but blood for them to start taking me seriously and find out I had an extreme case of colitis and for whatever reason my kidneys were failing
The nurse came running in and asked if my pee always looked like that?? 😂
Not too long after when I was able to walk again and hold in my bodily fluids, I signed myself out because I was in so much pain and I also didn’t want to go into withdrawal, and there wasn’t going to be anyone there with me so I especially didn’t want to go through it alone.. I usually would’ve been withdrawing by then but I found out when parts of your body or your body itself is shutting down, or has shut down, for some reason it can put off withdrawal for a bit
I have over 2 years clean and still get put through the ringer in the ER, but like they said on House, addicts still get sick/have pain, they actually get sick more often than non-addicts
If an addict is sticking out withdrawing and all these tests and procedures, including painful ones, then maybe they are actually sick AND an addict.. They could go a number of more easier routes, including going to a different ER.. so how about if they are in pain, put them out of pain, if they are sick, treat them, if they are withdrawing, offer them rehab numbers and comfort meds, and if they are a human asking for help, give it to them.. Not the help that you think they deserve, but the help that they need.. Which includes getting them out of pain..
I’ve heard horror stories from both staff and patients about chalking up someone’s symptoms to their addiction and the person dying or the unresolved pain issue leading addicts that were clean, back to drugs, because no one took them seriously, just to find out in the one case that the surgery was done horrifically incorrect and there was hardware pressing into nerves and floating around in their spine..
Sorry.. didn’t expect this to be a rant but that’s where we ended up lol
Yeah sorry, the medical field felt guilty for causing the opioid epidemic so way over corrected
Thank you so much. I’m a recovering addict. Once for 4 years clean now have two after my last relapse. But I also have MS and a tilted pelvis and spinal issues and broken discs and I’ve had shingles 4 times at just 26 years old and turned ro drugs in the first place because doctors never believed me about being in pain when I was younger despite having no reason to point to me being a liar :( before drugs all I was to them is just a “dramatic little girl” now I’m just a “dramatic ex junkie who wants to get high” but my medical issues are still killing me
even people who aren't addicts can be treated horribly if a single doctor ever labels them as drug seeking in their charts. once I had an ambulance ride to the ER because of intense muscle spasms in my back that were causing half my body to painfully seize up every other second or any time I tried to speak. the paramedics were very kind and gave me a shot of some Benzo medication to stop the seizures by relaxing my muscles, which worked for about an hour. then because I'd been ok for a bit I decided to give up my bed in the back where they bring ambulance patients and go sit with my dad and sister in the main waiting room, but the overstimulation from the lights, sounds, and uncomfortable chair were starting to trigger the spasms again from muscle tension and then when I went to get my blood drawn by a nurse who very clearly was judging me and looking down on me by the way she was treating me, my needle phobia caused them to come back full force.
trust me, it is not fun trying to keep your arm still for a blood draw when the other side of your body is seizing up uncontrollably. she wasn't gentle either, it really hurt. eventually I got up and staggered to the admin to ask if I could take some of my low dose Ativan which I have prescribed for dentist appointments to avoid panic attacks, and despite barely being able to talk because my diaphragm kept spasming, I had to wait 10 minutes to speak with a nurse who went to talk with other nurses in the back for another 10 minutes before coming back out and giving me a small dose sublingual one to take because they wouldn't let me take my own (which was in its original prescription bottle and everything.)
oh, and I wasn't allowed to go back to the bed I'd had in the back. I asked, a couple minutes after going to the waiting room and immediately feeling the spasms starting up again. they said they'd already given it to someone else. I wasn't allowed to sit in the hallway there instead either, I asked because it was darker and quieter so it was less stressful (I'm autistic and ADHD, I have sensory processing issues)
eventually the blood tests all came back normal and the neurological tests had been fine so the doctor came back out to tell me that they weren't sure of the cause but it wasn't anything life threatening so I should call my family doctor in the morning for treatment.
obviously I didn't sleep all night because of the constant spasms and intense pain from the muscles being damaged from the frequent sudden movements for 12+ hours, but I was able to call my doctor when his office opened up at 8 and he called me back in a few hours and prescribed me cylcobenzaprine, a mild sedative used as a muscle relaxant. it allowed me to eventually get some sleep. I'm very lucky that he's incredibly kind and believes me about what I say I'm experiencing, because he trusted everything I said and made sure to ask my pharmacy to rush the prescription. he said give it a couple of days to see if the meds work, and schedule an appointment to see him later that week if the spasms don't go away completely by then.
the next day when I woke up I could tell that the tension was there but I hadn't started seizing up yet, so I made an appointment to see a chiropractor in the hopes that he could help because I have a hypermobility disorder and worried it could be a rib dislocation causing it. He identified immediately upon feeling my back that I had multiple ribs out of alignment (not fully dislocated, just subluxed) and fixed them as well as some other things like my twisted pelvis which was making one leg shorter than the other and causing mild scoliosis to compensate.
immediately the tension relieved a huge amount and I realized I could breathe deeply and stand straight without pain for the first time in over 5 years. the spasms and my pain for all those years had been caused by a few subluxed ribs that went undiagnosed despite having x-rays (which showed the misalignment, I realized, when I looked back at them after the appointment) because most doctors would never think to look for subluxed ribs at the spine because the average person simply doesn't get that without enough physical trauma that those ribs are probably also cracked. luckily the physiotherapist had other patients with the same hypermobility disorder as me, and was aware that some of us can have joints go out of place without any trauma at all because our bodies don't hold them in place tightly enough.
Tl;Dr: I was treated horribly by ER staff when I had spasms affecting one half of my body that required me to get picked up and taken there by an ambulance. I was labeled drug seeking because I guess they thought it was withdrawal, that I was faking, or something. Turned out to be a few ribs putting pressure on my nerves at the spine which were out of place because my joints are loosey goosey from a genetic condition.
there was another time where I went for what turned out to be dangerously low potassium and there was a young black woman who was struggling to stay conscious and was totally being ignored. I recognized her symptoms as a blood pressure regulation disorder that I also have, called POTS, and tried multiple times to get the attention of nurses and get her help. I was able to ask a couple in the ER to give up the bench seat they were on so that she could lie down because I knew that helps a lot with POTS because your heart doesn't have to work so hard pumping your blood, and after a bit she started feeling somewhat better. I also figured out she probably had the same hypermobility disorder as me, or one of the related ones because there's a few versions of it, and was able to recommend she look into it and get tested for a few related conditions.
I'm certain they were ignoring her very real health emergency (POTS causes low blood pressure, she should've gotten an IV with saline solution in order to increase her blood pressure almost immediately after arriving because low blood pressure is dangerous) because they assumed that she was a drug addict. which was racist AND inaccurate AND even if she was she should've been given medical treatment because people with addictions deserve compassion and treatment, too.
Besides, addictions are almost invariably linked to treatable health problems and/or socioeconomic stress. You need to be in significant physical and/or emotional/mental distress in order to seek relief from something you know is harmful to you. I never developed a substance addiction, but I definitely had one for self harm and restricting food for most of my teens due to physical and mental pain. even without a chemically addictive substance involved, getting clean from behavioral addictions is hellish and extremely difficult
"If"?? This is exactly my experiences.. I'm treated like a liar addict, yet I'm neither. I'm painfully open and declined narcotic meds if there's an alternative.. it's really hard. Years called a hypochondriac, until my left eye stopped working for 2weeks at 15yrs (went fully blind from nerve swelling that resolved, mostly) Got diagnosed with MS..and still when I say I'm not okay I'm treated like a liar. Gotten to a point where I've given up seeking help and gave up.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I have MS as well and it took seeing a GP and two neurologists to be diagnosed. So sad how doctors dismiss real symptoms and glad that your optic neuritis has resolved
I’m 100% feeling where you’re at. It’s so disheartening to be dismissed to the extent we start to question our own sanity? 💜🌻
I’m sorry for all the chronically ill or complicated illness patients who experience these treatment. It’s so hard when we are depressed from being housebound and alone in our pain and illness. ♥️
I'm so sorry. 💚
Sameeee
Time to sue my guy. I'm sorry they treated you like that, the medical industry got a stick up they ass cause of all the drug addicts that be scamming them.
LOL! I love your sense of humor doctor Schmidt.
This is how I feel when I see my doctor, too! Anxiety and wanting to give the “perfect” answer bc of ocd makes it feel like a confrontation.
This is LITERALLY how I feel when I go to the doctors
Literally every time a chronic pain patient tries to get help from a doctor. Let me put you through the third degree and then tell you to take tylenol! Btw that will be $1500.
Oh ok, so it’s not only me that felt that hahahah
Thankfully I have a really good team (and a really well documented diagnosis), but every time I move, I clear the first week to find and talk to a bunch of new GPs to find one that will mesh with me.
One that listens to me, takes me seriously, doesn’t consider me a drug seeker, but also doesn’t just want to shove more drugs my way. Someone who is willing to write referral s to specialists, but who won’t try to palm me off into specialists only. It’s a balancing act, and it isn’t always easy to find a good GP.
tylenol and ibuprofen together even if you already told them it doesn't work.
Yup 100%. Even as a frightened 7yo I was treated like shit.
100% - luckily I eventually have got to a point where I'm believed now. Only took..oh 8 or 9 years and dozens of doctors, specialists, xrays, MRIs, etc..
Ohh Ed great content as usual Dr. Schmit. So very good. The punchline is excellent. You are being admitted!!!! Your forte as a actor is one to be proud of as well as the scripts. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.
Aren't they all actors?
@@teenacurl4690 One super doctor taking an acting role . Wishing you the very best to you and your family. From here in England.
Underrated would be the best drama medical mystery thriller series. I sense house and some blue bloods with that Gibbs from NCIS lead. Smackeroos in the bank buddy.
I can’t even 😂😂😂 I’m getting shortness of breath from laughing and wheezing! 🤣🤣
So relatable. My doctor asks about this and the answers he wants to hear are always the right ones.
😂 Definitely one of your best videos so far. Quite possibly THE best.
OH LORD! The last part "You're getting admitted"
This guy is super funny!
This is my FAVORITE skit so far. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
Same thing that medics have to use when questioning soldiers- especially males!! Some want to sound tough, others will lie about how many cigarettes they smoked, how much coffee and water they drank- 3 cups of coffee, no water and about 5 cigarettes- and we're out in the desert training! And others that don't tell you all their symptoms till you pry it from them! You have a few that are honest which is nice:) Loved my job and do miss it.
His videos have so much truth that while I laugh I feel and frustrated. I have been hospitalized at least 30 times in my life (three different serious health conditions) and these videos hit the nail on the head.
The way your eyes widen creepily when you’re “the heart guy”. Sold it well!
Totally how I’ve actually been treated before especially by some e.r. Drs. Weirrrrd. And really frustrating! Thank God for the doctors with patience and hearts!
Sucks to have chronic illnesses etc for decades. Healthcare is hit and miss, but I’m VERY THANKFUL for those whom have treated me with kind care.💜
Literally every House episode
Oh he’s definitely getting admitted! lol
Should be a check list with full 3 D skeleton and inerds so we can literally SHOW YOU where it hurts
"Do you exercise?"
*sweats profusely* uh... yea sure exosize I've done it.
Can't wait for the JCS breakdown and explanation
*JCS voice* If he was telling the truth, he would not be telling such an elaborate story"
Sometimes, that’s the only way to avoid misdiagnosis 🤣
Finding a medical professional I feel comfortable talking to about my pain/illness was a life changer. Of course, I also got a lot of good practice by explaining to people who weren’t good at listening, but being able to bring up small concerns or changes is liberating.
Over the 46 years of life I've come across quite a few doctors, exactly- like- that-.
Honestly I still question myself and downplay my symptoms because I don't know if they're really that bad or I'm just being dramatic until I find someone else who experienced the same things as me and felt the same way.
This is what talking to patients is like on house md
What's sad is having multiple chronic medical problems this is EXACTLY how I feel many times.
This is just what it's like going to the same doctor for the same chronic undiagnosed condition... It's been so many years that I'll forget to mention symptoms because it's my "normal" 😅
I love the hats! So funny! Getting admitted to the hospital is the ultimate threat! Confess or get admitted!
This would make a great show
This is literally how it feels…
That’s the way they all are- bossy and won’t let you get one word in.
A tough guy, eh? Holding out on me, hmm? Nurse, hand me the catheter. Hold the Instillagel.
God I've once went to a doctor who made me doubt my stomach pain then she prescribed me medication without telling me my "diagnosis" and it made my stomach ache worse. Turns out I was getting them due to stress, I'll never return to that I.D.A ever again.
'You're getting admitted'
So relatable
Bruh this is how it feels to go to the doctor when you have anxiety
The crazed look in the heart guys eyes SENT ME 🤣🤣🤣
'if you don't tell me what I want to hear... you're getting admitted!'
I MEANN this would make the waiting time in a clinic go way faster!!
“you’re getting admitted 😳” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This looked like a normal doctor's appointment to for me.
This is actually exactly how I view doctor appointments 😅
The interrogation is making my social anxiety act up. I'm seriously scared than any doctor I meet will be like that. I have trouble keeping note of the time and symptoms and I'm always scared of the talking part
"You're getting admitted"
Oh god please no! 🙏
Tbh, I dont have medical insurance, and this is fully what my last doctor visit felt like.
Literally feels like this anytime I talk to the doctors
When you come home from school and your parents think you’re not sick
My neurologist was like this, but in 2x speed :’D
When you're really sick but it takes 5 ER visits for a doctor to take you seriously
Switch to gastroenterology and I definitely had this experience!
This is how I feel anytime someone speaks to me
This is exactly how it feels, especially with urgent care and most new doctors.
Mine have finally realized that my advocacy work does mean I will know more about certain conditions than they do or already know about it before they even mention it.
My primary doc has basically figured out that if she just waits it out, I’ll present a differential diagnosis, the likely specialist I need, and have one already picked out as I have researched every single one my insurance covers within a reasonable distance from my house.
Our doctors always tell us "u need to investigate like a cop" 😂😂😂
When you compulsively lie to the doctor once every appointment-
This is how they talk to you when you have bad insurance.
This is exactly how I take history at late night admissions.
My old school nurse was literally like this, like damn I might not be able to mention EVERYTHING
God I wish they cared that much
Doctors do this to me irl, and this is why I'm afraid of them
That Cop hat looks good on you.
This is how it feels when my mental health comes up
Lol he’s comedy all the time
This is how going to the doctor feels.
"you're getting admitted" the worst threat you could give someone in the US
In my experience, this is pretty standard for medical history taking.
I do this a lot, but it's normally because I have a habit of talking to people like they already know all the details of what's going on 💀
Congratulations... you've predicted the future of our "Healthcare system"
As a former Workers' Compensation Attorney and now Social Security Disability attorney, I've never seen a better reenactment of my job LOL
how to stop your patients from going off on a tangent 101
This is exactly how I feel at the doctor's
The admitted part scared me.
I’m ems, can confirm this is exactly how our assessments go
Doc schmidt: haha could you imagine :P
All of us: no yeah this is exactly what going to the doctor is like
it’s best ever of any of yours! love it! you are killing it!
The fear of being admitted, it's worse than white coat syndrome
As a chronic and severe under reporter of symptoms, I could actually use this doctor.
The lawyer part would still be the same 😂
this is my boss any time i try to tell him something's wrong at work
This hits to close too home. Being a police officer or a detective was my childhood dream. I grew up and was hit with the harsh reality that that was never going to happen. I changed dreams to be a forensic scientist or to study chemistry and math at least . Life happened and I can't even consider that as a career path anymore. In my country, the only guaranteed job is a medical job and studying for it starts as soon as you finish highschool and lasts for 6 or 7 years. I applied a couple weeks ago to a local medical college. It wasn't what I wanted (like at all, I still feel like I'm being a hypocrite and going against everything I stand for). But I was taking my final exams a couple months ago before I applied and it hit me hard that I needed to become a doctor no matter what. And here I am hoping I get in, at the same time I'm already hating myself for it. Thank you for listening to my rant. Also I love your videos. Sometimes it's these videos and other medical professionals' videos here that keep me from unapplying.
*My conversations with my mom about pretty much everything be like:*
As someone who has been questioned by the police and court like this multiple times this is so accurate. And funny as shit
I like how he said "I am the heart guy" because he doesn't know what's his scientific name was
Thanks for the like doc, also love your content ❤
🤣
It was just funnier that way 😂
Mr. Johnson just remember what Mike the Lawyer says! “Am I being detained?” And “I invoke the 5th”
Got an evil chuckled out of me following a smirk....
Yeah and my Dr once said “why didn’t you come in sooner ?” Lol I felt so guilty.
I once had a to go to the doctor for chronic pain. He did an intense addict screening to make sure I wasn’t a drug seeker. At the top of my chart, in bold letters: ALLERGY TO PAINKILLERS.
