I am disturbed that there are people having children who donât understand basic human anatomy.
There has been an attack on the (US) education system for decades now and its just getting worse. Especially on things science, biological, sex ed, and creative thinking. This is mainly in the red states. The current wave of attacks is the anti-woke/ anti-CRT bills that, in some places, literally stop teachers from teaching anything that makes a student uncomfortable. Even now you can see how text books are dumbed down for some states on ideological grounds if you do a side/ side comparison.
And of course general funding problems.
If you think these people are dumb..... wait until you see the next generation who goes through the education system.
Blame the Republicans. They're against sex Ed.
Doesn't require that knowledge to make one. And most kids aren't planned. Just horny idiots bumping uglies then expecting the rest of us to coach them so they don't end up in prison for child endangerment or something. It's quite infuriating if I'm being honest.
@@chaospoet I was thinking more about adults in their 20s or 30s who don't know, for instance, how condoms work. That said, I was a teenager in the 90s and lived in a somewhat conservative area and even I knew the ins and outs of sex ed (pun not intended). I had hope that modern generations were a bit more enlightened.
Bro millions of us drive cars without understanding how internal combustion engine works either.
About that 27 year old woman not knowing about periods. So she thought she had abnormal bleeding and waited more than 10 years before she said something? That in itself is quite concerning đ€
I guess it got worse?
Tbh, I don't know where people got their info before the internet. Period isn't a topic you're supposed to talk about, unless something is wrong. Got in some trouble for trying to get info from my gyno, if certain things are bad, or just uncomfortable but normal.
@@renakunisaki Yes, maybe
@@v3ru586 Isn't that something that mothers usually tell their daughters? If I were a teenage girl and I suddenly started to bleed down there, I would probably freak out and come running to my mom.
@@_mortiam she told me I would bleed beforehand. She left out the part that it lasts longer than peeing, hurts, itches, makes you feel woozy for days and isn't even as regular as they tell you in school.
I told about those parts to my sister, so she didn't get in trouble for overreacting
âThink of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.â
â George Carlin
That man should be awarded the highest rspect for his capacity for taking down the ignorance, pomposity and arrogance so common across all strata of society.
Oh my god my older brother told me about the story of the mother giving her baby coffee and he made a joke. I want to be like this that would be gonna be bench pressing teachers.
Oh, George Carlin, I admire him! He was great!
George was so ahead of our time, I wish he was alive today
realize George Carlin is not exactly the biggest light himself, and that people still see him as some sort of genius
I feel like doctors should be allowed to tell people when their mistreatment caused another person suffering, injury, or even death.
Yah like an addendum to âdo no harmâ I feel like it would cause some harm to not say anything
@@sleepykittyMMD sometimes you have to hurt them to make things better, just like rebreaking a bone to set it correctly
It helps if the person who is doing harm isnât too stupid to understand that they are causing harm. (the lady who force fed a patient pizza)
I 100% agree with you. But at the same time I've been in this situation. My grandfather was in hospice care dying of cancer. My grandmother presents like a normal person but she is mentally handicapped and illiterate for no justifiable reason. She couldn't follow the directions of the the hospice nurses and also turns out she didn't understand what hospice was or that he was dying. He was also a terrible patient always, and out of his mind at this time so she kept trying to help him get up and walk instead of staying in the bed as directed, and couldn't keep track of the meds. She also wouldn't listen to any of us trying to explain it to her to follow the nurse's orders. I had to call the social workers and ask he be removed to a hospice facility, which kills me to this day because he should have died in his home of 50+ years, but even with supervising her, she was still putting them both in danger everytime you turned around.
This was several years ago, my grandmother still thinks they took my grandfather because she needed a break and he just happened to die in the facility đ. We don't tell her otherwise because she's literally too stupid to understand so there's no point.
@@Secretagent71114 Ouch.
I had a coworker like that once. Sure, if you gave him a task, he'd finish it, and be very mindful of doing it right, to the point where it became ridiculous how much effort he put into it. Tell him to vacuum a room, come back 3 hours later, and it's spotless.
But on the other hand, he couldn't be left unsupervised and without a job for any amount of time, or he'd find some way to put himself in danger.
It was clear he didn't mean any harm, though. He was clearly not smart enough for that. But he was also really exhausting to take care of, and I often had to help the supervisors, because even they would get frustrated with him.
I remember a news article from (I think) the early 2000s-ish. A woman tried to sue a contraceptive manufacturer because she used their contraceptive jelly and still got pregnant. She failed to read the instructions and ate it on toast.
An RN friend of mind told me a story from only a few years ago about a couple that wanted to know why they weren't getting pregnant even though they'd been married for almost seven years. The doctor asked the usual questions: do either or both of them smoke or drink, are they currently taking any medications, etc. It turns out the couple had intercourse exactly once, on their wedding night, and were waiting for God to bless their marriage with a baby. It took the combined efforts of the doctor and the hospital chaplain to get them to understand that sex makes babies.
The couple's ignorance to how babies are made is a rather sad proof of lack of education, but the fact that the chaplain had to be brought into the talk makes it funny.
@@ApparentlyGoogledislikesmyname To be fair, a lot of Christian teaching says that you should only have sex if you want to conceive a child. It doesn't say that you have to keep doing it until you do conceive one. In areas where sex education is frowned upon or banned outright, and parents give only the basic, euphemism filled, information, it's easy to see how even generally well educated people would get the wrong idea.
@@bromptondevice7685 Which christian teachings say that? I've been a christian most of my life and haven't heard that, only that it should only take place between a husband and wife.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to start an argument, etc. with this question. I am simply, genuinely curious.
@@guardian7811 It's the idea behind Catholics (other denominations are available) not using birth control. They shouldn't need it because they shouldn't be having sex for pleasure, just procreation. I've heard it from various priests, theologians and middle aged women with intimidating spectacles on TV and radio discussion shows for many a long year.
@@bromptondevice7685 haha! They forgot the Book of Solomon/Song of Songs exists đ
In all seriousness, yeah, itâs so sad how tv shows like the 700 club have used guilt over one of Godâs amazingly fun creations as a way of making people feel superior over others or need to fund them in hopes it will be a âfaith offering â đ
In my teens, I was told that a concussion is a fracture of the skull, and so that is what I believed for decades. In my 40s, I was in an accident, and was frustrated that the doctor insisted that I had a concussion when I kept arguing that my head didn't come in contact with anything so my skull could not have been fractured. He was very kind as he updated my knowledge on just what a concussion is.
I was taught that as a kid too, but fortunately, was corrected quickly when I joined the military.
So....what IS a concussion?!
As a first aid instructor, I always used to assume people knew a fracture was just the medical word for a broken bone. It was only after some years of teaching that I learnt that many didn't think this at all & thought a fracture was an incomplete break & a "break"a full break
@@chamonix2602 I'm sure a doctor can give a better answer but my understanding is that a concussion is a brain injury resulting from the brain being bumped around inside the skull, such as by an impact to the head or a pressure wave hitting the head, like from an explosion.
@@anothersquid Thanks. So, it's a serious see-the-doctor kind of thing?
10 years working in a pharmacy. Inhalers and people's ideas of who to take them. Funniest moment, patient demonstrated their technique as they didn't think their salbutamol was working. I said "good technique, you exhaled, then inhaled while pressing button and finally you held your breath for a few seconds. Only one thing I would, suggest, take the lid off first!"
Like the House episode where the lady was using it like a perfume on her neck đ
@Nicky L In Australia it's standard practice for everyone to use a spacer to avoid that issue - or at least to be told by everyone to use a spacer, some don't always do it, due to convenience/spacer size, but doctors, pharmacists etc will all recommend that & the asthma foundation will even send anyone who calls for asthma information a free asthma information pack, that includes a free spacer
Epileptic here, DO NOT PUT THINGS INTO A SEIZING PERSON'S MOUTH. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THEY ARE BITING THEIR TONGUE. YOU COULD ACCIDENTALLY SMOTHER THEM BY PRIORITIZING THEIR TONGUE OVER THEIR AIRWAY.
If they are on their belly flip them around and put something soft behind the head. Don't hold them done after the seizure has passed. (I also am Epileptic and so is my dad)
as much as i want to ask why this needs to be stated...
i REALLY dont want to know
@@link_team3855 I'm unsure how the trope started, but there was a worry that the person would swallow their tongue/bite it off and swallow it during convulsive seizures, so you put something in their mouth to keep the tongue in place. The misinformation then got repeated in various forms of media, so if a person has never seen a convulsive seizure in real life, and doesn't have training, people can think that is the correct way to handle it, because they can't remember immediately where they learned it.
@@Coira2 Good info. I'm unsure if I would have done that but at least I didn't know it could be dangerous and I have seen this trope on TV several times.
Do epileptic people actually bite their tongues during seizures?
The brain transplant one was just sad, not stupid.
I agree
It was well intentioned but still naive.
It's sad and sweat
after reading this i now wonder how that would work.
A new person?
the first guy, the one who gave the brain,
or the second one, but probably lost all memories.
Showed just how much he loved his mum! đ„ What an amazing son she had.
Story 22 broke my heart. So selfless and kind.
Rule of the world: the stupidest question is the one never asked.
Highly highly agreed!
It so sad
I hope he is better now đą
The mother who raised her kid right, he was blessed to have such a mother. I hope he knows that, cause she lives on through him and her kindness.
In the UK a couple killed their 3 month old baby in 1999 by feeding it the adult food to save money. The "mashed potato and gravy" and breakfast oats contained 18 times the recommended levels of salt for a baby, and caused brain and liver damage.
I remember that story At the time, some parents were still being told to start babies on solid foods, as early as 3 months. They used instant mash potato, rather than making mash from fresh potatoes, and seeing that salt was not added. I was told babies should not have food with added salt until they are at least 12 months old.
It was Ready Brek. Looks like baby food but is processed oats with salt and sugar
The most disturbing stories are the ones involving innocent children. There should be a licence for having kids.
Exactly how I felt carrying our first child out of the maternity hospital...a nurse just handed me this baby girl. "Don't they require some sort of certification that we know what we're doing??"
@@billolsen4360 They should, but my own parents are proof that even the most clueless idiots can become parents, all they need is two functioning reproductive systems
No, just a licence to raise them. You can't prevent people from copulating, nor can you force them to take contraceptives or become sterilized.
You CAN require a licence for the right to RAISE children, and have them taken away if you do not qualify.
These are your only legal options for policy, that don't completely disregard human rights.
And Not neccesarily what I agree with philosophically, morally or ethical though. I think it's dangerous to claim that all foster carers would actually be better educated or better motivated to care for the child instead. Some are terrible people and the ignorant birth parents would have been better. Life, and people, can be pretty terrible. Especially when they are not supposed to be.
I used to think diffront, but going through life and seeing what happens to young lives.... And then seeing that happens to the young lives they produce....I have to agree.
@@valethewolf49 yeah, unfortunately any attempt to actually create standards for such a license would lead immediately to eugenics.
Passing down a genetic condition isn't your fault.
When I first got sick, my great grandmother didn't tell anyone about her celiac because she didn't want to be at fault of my sickness. Instead she caused months of unnecessary tests as with no family history of celiac, I wasn't tested for it until everything else was ruled out.
I didn't find out until later. After the whole story repeated, because I wanted to know if I have an allergy or an overbearing hippy-mom, and wasn't aware of my great grandmother's condition.
If you have the genes for some nasty little illness, it's your fault if your child starts presenting symptoms later in life. Because you couldn't keep it in your pants.
@@secrecy3915 I'm pretty sure it's not that easy. First, not everyone with the genes for a genetic condition develops symptoms. Also, not everyone with a medical condition knows it's genetic, especially in older generations
Second, once you have an offspring (child or grandchild) with symptoms, hiding it so no one blames you is a bad idea. If you share the condition, share your strategies for dealing with it. Maybe the younger generation comes up with ideas, you didn't think of, making your life better.
Not to mention, different people consider different things "nasty". People keep asking me how I can live a normal life with celiac, I only remember when another person tries lecturing me on the harms of a glutenfree diet.
@@v3ru586 Not everyone knows about genetic conditions, so not everyone should be accorded as much guilt, not to mention trials for crimes past just proliferate wounds even more. And hiding ones guilt just makes the problem worse for everyone. But knowingly proliferating a genetic error (and with it, the potential for symptoms) just because you want kids is so dumb, especially when adoption is an available route. Why roll the lottery on predetermined awfulness for your winnings when you can just take some predetermined winnings? You upgrade somebody else's life while making sure you don't contribute to the gene pool.
Lastly, freedoms negated is always a negative, no matter how little a shit you give about that freedom (though I bet bread being your kryptonite isn't exactly the most welcome weakness).
Tl;dr: So I like the first two arguments, but the other two are dumb. Read the whole thing to learn more.
My MIL told me (not sure if other family members knew-but doubtful) she had been diabetic since around 16, she was in her 60s, after my hubs was diagnosed with type 2. 3/4 possibly all 4 of her children are type 2. So is my FIL. Hopefully my kids get my side of the family genes so they donât develop type 2.
At one time inherited conditions were seen as shameful. As though they were a sign of impurity or immorality.
The scurvy story, totally possible. A friend of mine is an ER nurse and the caziest thing he saw was a guy with scurvy. I kid you not, they video called a specialist to confirm the diagnosis. Turns out the man had just moved out of his parents' home and had NO IDEA how to feed himself in a healthy manner and developed freaking *scurvy* . I mean... that is the pinacle of food ignorance in the 21th century.
I always thought that scurvy was something sailors and pirates got.
@@melissacooper8724 They did, from lack of vitamin C intake. So in theory it can still happen to anyone who doesn't get enough vitamin C.
The only person who should have scurvy in this century is Titus Andromedon
Like u r great at math and finance but always rejected domestic tasks. it may happen to big ego.
Story #8, how horrible that the 17-year-old was so neglected that she was not taught proper wiping. đą
If you can believe it, there's a phenomenon with some adult men who refuse to ever wipe or even clean that area with soap.
It would be interesting to see (if I can stomach it) how that would affect the area after some years.
Yeah, the level of neglect that indicates is really sad.
Yeah but you have to be pretty dumb though if it is disgusting and smells bad just clean it, simple as that and you can just apply that logic
Iâm a nurse and the craziest thing Iâve experienced was this teen who was pregnant and positive for multiple stdâs. She claimed she had no idea how that could have happened and explain how you can get pregnant/infections.
"A PHD isn't that kind of doctor... please don't sow me your rash..." đ€Ł
Lost count of how many times I've had to explain that I'm NOT a medical doctor......
Am dating a woman who's a PHD in History. She only uses "Doctor" when she writes books or articles, in an academic setting or to get good tables in restaurants.
In America we could solve the MD vs PhD vs DDS confusion by call only medical doctors "Doctor". PhD should be called Dr only in an academic setting, and in England dentists are called "Mr/Ms, even in the office!
@@alyssaa1328 "...hoo-ha" Do you mean genitalia, of are you still an infant?
That's why when someone introduces themselves as "doctor" I say "doctorate or m.d?" :)
Tell that to babysitter Jill who insists people call her Doctor Biden đ€Ș
I had to apologize to one of my friends because I made sure to tell her to take the plastic off before she put the pie I made into the oven. Working at the hospital I just assume that people do not understand how the most basic of things work. I legitimately have wondered out loud how some of these people get dressed in the morning. My friend was slightly offended, but also thought my habit is hilarious so it worked out when I explained it.
I did that the first time I made biscuits as a child - put the whole plastic bowl in the oven to bake them - it melted!
I find it sad people can reach adulthood without understanding/experiencing things like this. It doesn't surprise me, but I still find it sad
There's the obvious and not-so-obvious. I had to tell my friend (young, no women in family) on her 36 week, to get post partum pads "like the ones for your period, but bigger" no one told her anything about what happens after birth, they assume her mom/aunt/sister would tell her. She thought that after birth her cycle would just reset the day after birth
I also worked in a hospital throughout college and have a habit of doing this. I can see how it would rub some people the wrong way, but at times it is quite necessary.
For example, I once had a young lady friend scream at me for "man-splaining" because I suggested she not fill her Dad's brand new Range Rover HSE TD6 with gasoline. I apologized to her, went around the corner and immediately called her father to tell him what she was about to do to his $120,000 DIESEL SUV. He asked me to take emergency measures to insure she not start the vehicle before he arrived... so I swiped the keys out of the ignition and then hid in the men's bathroom until he got there.
She and I don't talk anymore. Her Dad and I hang out regularly... and he still addresses me as "son". :)
@@OldSaltyBear if I did that to my dad's car/truck/anything I think he'd kill me.
@@OldSaltyBear sounds like you need some communication lessons! Surely you should be able to explain to a person the differences in fuel without having to run away & hide in the toilet as a result! Surely you should have the maturity to be able to call her dad in front of her if you're not capable of being adult enough to actually talk to her & explain fuel differences.
I have a new neighbour that likes to call everyone "son" or "love" I don't care, I think there's more important issues in life, so I'm just keeping out of it & remaining friendly with all parties, but a number of the women neighbours have actually called the police on him a number of times, because he doesn't wear underwear & his trousers don't seem to have appropriate elastic in them, leading to them falling down repeatedly, which he seems to think is not an issue. Seems to be a generational & particular demographic that appreciate & like the "son" etc terms & that also have extreme difficulty acting in a manner that is seen as socially appropriate by women of the same generation & some of the younger generation too. The "son" calling to me just reeks of misogynism & outdated views as to what's acceptable in society, which is no doubt why you found yourself having to hide in the toilet after your failed attempt at a basic conversation with a woman
For the record, three 48-oz slushies is about 13 cans of regular soda -- in sugar content.
Oh my goddess! I lived story #12. Seventeen or so years ago my mother (in her 80s) started showing signs of a stroke. This was on a Friday I think, maybe Thursday or Saturday. I urged my dad to take her to the ER or call 911. Decades of habit of refuting anything and everything I said had him refusing, saying she could wait until her doctor's appointment Monday morning. She never made it back home, being sent to a rehabilitation hospital after several days in Letterman Hospital. She was there about 4 or 5 months before passing away.
I'm so sorry.
That's really sad. My dad was also stubborn like that. 18 years ago when he was 70 he kept complaining to my mum of a pain in his upper back. She kept telling him to see a doctor (no excuse not to here in the UK as medical treatment is free) but he didn't want to make a fuss. Eventually he collapsed and spent a week in critical care before dying from an aortic aneurysm which could have been treated if had been dealt with before it burst
Was he sorry afterwards? Did he admit any responsibility? If that was my father I'd be so angry!
@@yippee8570 Nope. Read again the part about him refuting anything and everything I said. He denied that conversation had ever happened.

There's an episode of House with a clinic patient that is basically the same as the inhaler story - except she was spraying it on her neck. Some of the comments claimed that nobody could be that stupid. Good to know that they most certainly can be!
It's amazing that the human race has made it so far.
I have a patient who initially was taking his inhaler with the cap on it. We fixed that fast.
How about someone using it like a breath spray? đ
The key to understanding that is the fact that we actually care and help each other. An individual's stupidity has therefore surprisingly small effects most of the time. ^^

It's not always patients. My wife had her left eye removed. She has a very realistic prosthetic eye - what used to be called a "glass eye" but they're made of resin these days. A nurse asked her about her vision. My wife told her see could see well in her right eye, but she didn't have a left eye. The nurse looked at her kind of startled, and said "No, what? You have two eyes." My wife pointed to her left eye and said, "This is a prosthesis - it's plastic - I can't see out of it. The nurse looked at her clipboard and said, "Gee, you should have gotten a glass one." TRUE...
Why did they remove her eye?
@@catherinebirch2399 She had a childhood injury (at 2 years old) that resulted in her losing the central vision but retaining her peripheral vision. When she was in her 50s, she developed trauma related glaucoma, and lost the remaining vision despite having some fairly aggressive treatments. Eventually, her body began to reject her eye and it became necessary to do an evisceration. (Google evisceration and enucleation if you're interested.) There are a lot more people than you realize walking around with one eye.
Story #36 is so funny đđ
This is the kind of misunderstanding that could happen to anyone honestly
Maybe in the doctorâs mind itâs obvious that the orange is just for practice, and he doesnât explain much further, but for someone whoâs new to insulin, it may not be as obvious.
I hope the doctorâs instructions will be clearer after that đđ
As an American I just can't get over the fact that they're supposedly using real insulin for tests. Insulin costs us up to and including $120 per dose, and almost $700 for an EpiPen. Or did the OP just misspeak (mistype?) and they're actually using saline or something? Like, the doctor already knows where it's going, but instead of just saying "You haven't been _literally_ injecting oranges all this time, have you?!" he actually brings out the orange and the syringe and watches the guy do it right in front of him.
At least he ate the orange, I thought the story was going to be that he just injected the orange with insulin and went about his day.
@@Wendy_O._Koopa Yeah I assumed the story was changed a little so it would be a bit funnier. And I do hope they do not use real doses for test đ
@@AzariahWolf Wait, it not meant to go into the orange? I knew it was suppose to be apples.
It reminds me of a story about missionaries in Africa in the '80s or '90s who were trying to get HIV/AIDS under control.

When my grandfather was in college in the late 1940's in NYC, a wealthy couple came in to the ER dressed to the nines. The guy had his pants open and there was blood on both of them. They were quite drunk. The attending physician invited him over to take a look at what happened. Apparently they were trying to have sex but the guy was drunk and couldn't get it up, so the girlfriend took a long glass drink stirrer, and put the thing up his urethra. When she got on top of him to commence the act, the glass stirrer snapped and splintered. My grandpa liked to tell that story whenever he was mixing drinks at parties lol.
Not in the medical field but the number of people I've seen out in public who put soda or coffee or any other thing besides formula / breast milk in their infant's bottle is staggering.

Wasn't a doctor (corpsman), but was assisting one:
- 22-year-old male was in for chest pain and apnea (diagnosis was pneumonia due to test results and productive cough coupled with slight fever), and I had to watch over the patient while the doctor had to step out momentarily.
Patient said he "couldn't breathe" and began to panic. I said "don't panic; are you able to speak?" And he declared "yes" and I said "then air is clearly getting through somewhere, so you CAN breathe"
He was disgruntled with my response, but he calmed down đ
George Floyd could talk as he was having the breath squeezed out of him. Them talking isn't proof that breathing is fully functioning or not diminishing
â@@melissabarrett9750 We're not talking about George Floyd's scenario or case, which was a wildly different environment and situation. My comment is made with confidence that there was evidence to support that the patient wasn't choking but rather hyperventilating and panicking in a controlled environment.
Not sure why you used his in particular, as there are far better examples like Chris Mintz to compare a clear airway and yet 'diminished breathing', but I digress

"Sir, while I acknowlege that I can draw some breath sufficient for limited speech, the volume does not feel adequate for my needs. Presently, I feel light headed and may be experiencing cognitive impairment due to hypoxia. Furthermore, should this condition continue to worsen, it is my fear that I may shortly be unable to breathe at all, a situation which will lead to my premature expiration. Needless to say, I do not consider this to be a desirable outcome. I therefore humbly beseech your assistance in this matter."

The disabled mother who was neglected by her children to cause bed sore, not letting them turned over to Elder Abuse... her story moved me...
It's astounding the number of people who are surprised to learn that their male animals have nipples too, even when they are aware that human men have them too.
I had to explain this to my at least 55 yo.
He was worried about what were the strange protubérance on the (male) cat chest, he was shocked when told it was nipple until I pointed out he had those too.
We had a good laugh about it
Some really sad and scary stories here, but some were more understandable given different cultures and perhaps extreme poverty. I think expecting people to brush a pet's teeth, for instance, is probably a First World expectation, and it's not something that pet rescues always do.
As for patients being confused regarding the most basic care, I've had the opposite problem: doctors and nurses (and vets) zooming through complicated post-surgical care instructions, OR delivering shocking news ("You might have cancer, but don't worry. It would be a "good" kind of cancer.") and using jargon that the layperson may not understand. I may have made already-overworked nurses mad, but I've had to STOP nurses sometimes and confirm what was meant by terms such as "hydrotherapy" or ask precise questions about how to dress and help a patient who just had surgery and wasn't able to move. Doctors and nurses have to remember that most of the public has NOT had medical training in lifting and dressing adults, and medical staff (and insurance companies) sometimes expect families to do more for patients than the family is capable of doing. From this video, I'm not sure I'd expect some families to be able to take a patient's temperature.
I have to say, the one about brushing the teeth of pets was completely unknown to me. And I live in a 1st world country and had good education. I don't remember ever having seen my family do it to our pets. O.o Maybe there are other ways which suffice, like letting them chew on stuff? I'm confused if I lost all memories regarding that specific thing or if we really never did it.
Story 29 đ does the mother think everyone gets it at the same age? Because it can definitely happen to a 12yr old and even younger.
Recently I had a 10 year old girl get her period for the first time. She said, rather defiantly, â Iâm not doing this every month!â I advised her mother that more education was needed on the subject.
I was 12 when I started. This was 30 years ago. Many girls are starting younger these days.
Yup. My daughter went through early puberty at 9
I was 12. My best friend back then was 9. I was actually one of the last in the class to get it. I was fully aware of periods, so there wasn't any panic about blood spotting in my knickers, other than I was at a restaurant with only toilet paper. But it was fine as it started light and my mum got pads on way home.
My mother got hers at 17 I think. I think one of my older sisters got hers at 12 as well and my younger sister was 16.
@@sugarkitty2008 My mom took my sister to the doctor because sister was 16 and hadn't gotten her period yet. The doctor told mom to bring her back if she hadn't gotten it by age 18. On sister's 18th *birthday* she woke up with... you know ;-)

These stories are a reminder of how important it is to look out for and take care of each other.

I don't get not cleaning your own Mother. That's infuriating to me. My Mother suffered from ALS years and years ago. My ex wife, she'll always be a hero in my books because she cleaned my Mother regularly. I was so grateful to her. As her son, I didn't want to violate my Mother's dignity and my ex wife allowed me that small grace. I will be thanking her until the day they put me in the ground.
I knew a teenage girl whose father was suffering from cancer in his heart. She saw his suffering and blamed the doctors for it, that they are torturing her father. When I told her that it was the cancer making her father suffer and not the doctors, who are doing all they can to alleviate that, she shot back "If they're not the ones hurting my father, then why don't they just cure the cancer?!" as if that was a zinger, I shot back without holding back "because there's no cure for cancer." Predictably, she started crying and no one can blame for for crying.
Her father eventually passed away. She still blamed the doctors for torturing her father instead of curing him of his cancer and has vowed to never trust doctors again.
Yeah, you sure showed her. How dare she be in pain, and lashing out?

I had a middle aged patient on an IV. I told the patient that I was going to take it out, and I turned around for a few seconds to get gloves. He says "OK!" And when I turned back around, he had ripped it out of his arm and was bleeding. He then acted surprised because he was bleeding
This story is a lie, I was not the nurse. I witnessed my stepfather do this and the poor nurse was so tired of his hijinks.
I'm a health-care assistant, and was once told off for taking a cannula out of a man's arm. The only time I am meant to do this is when someone has been discharged, or the trained nurse has asked me for other reasons. The man was not confused or demented, but was going to pull the cannula out, himself - which would have caused a lot of bleeding.
Story number 36.
I could just imagine that if he could, he could just say. "Give me a moment." Then heads out the room and just burst out laughing. Once he's done he calmly walks back in, sits down, takes a deep breath and say to the patient. "Sir, that's not how it works."

if you've ever had to take an albuterol rescue inhaler dose, you KNOW when it's working and when it's not. That's some of the fastest acting medication I've ever taken and it is NOT subtle.
I found my grandmothers rescue inhaler, she kept them in strategic places around the house and in her car when she was going through some bronchitis. I was like 8 and I found one and inhaled it. Hit the floor. I could smell for miles afterwards lol.
Family Physician of almost 30 years, more than once I have had to explain to adult women that they have to have sex with a male in order to get pregnant.
How disgusting.
Sex?

Well, or get sperm to the egg somehow, but yes, usually. (I know people who've used artificial insemination or IVF.)
I am a healthcare assistant, and work in the local hospital. One day I was relating the funniest thing a patient said; 'I'm going for my autopsy next week. Does it hurt?' (Patient meant to say biopsy. ) I was shocked when one nurse said, quite seriously : 'Ofcourse it would hurt! You get cut open.' I said' 'Don't they make sure you are dead first?
Itâs easy to forget EVERYTHING has to be learned. Not necessarily in school. Most is picked up by just living in the world. If your experience is limited (e.g. youth, impoverished environment, lack of curiosity) some stuff is just not encountered. Intimate sex stuff like how to wear a condom isnât often encountered so itâs a good place to find ignorance. I remember telling my first pregnancy doctor that I wasnât pregnant. He asked no questions and when he eventually took a peek, he held his temper while asking why I said I wasnât pregnant. I said it was because I didnât have morning sickness; I was sick all day. I was very young, such stuff wasnât talked about (this was 1960) but I had definitely heard about morning sickness and assumed the term was descriptive. If it werenât for tampax directions I would have had no idea about my own anatomy. I donât know if condoms come with instructions but they should. Itâs fine if we laugh about these funny incidents but we shouldnât scorn the people because we, too, had to learn EVERYTHING.
Lay the blame fully at the puritanical norms encouraged in many sections of the community.
The: "Don't tell the youngsters about reproductive matters at school - it'll get them pregnant." sort of thing.

Story 12 is a common problem, since it's often stated : when it's no emergency wait till Monday, and already heard nurses complain about someone showing up with a tic or that it's not so bad as the patient assumed.
So they end up dead while waiting for the weekend to pass.
I get it, a running nose is nothing to go to ER...unless it's blood and not stopping...and there we are in the area of common sense "is this normal for me/my body or not"
A good measurement is :
- something is in that should be out
- something is out that should be in
- something is moving that should be solid
- nothing is moving at all.
I would guess heart attack is point 4
Blood in you pee is point 2 (same as your running nose...but that's normal)...and when you find out he had a lot of red Kraut for dinner...when you see the relief it was worth the effort.
Problem is from the perspective of a patient I simply don't know if whatever is making me sick can wait until Monday.
@@petelee2477 Whatever happening with you that is significantly at variance with what is normal for you needs immediate attention.
On that Note a heart attack is NOT the same as a cardiac arrest it might become one but if you get to the hospital in time that can often be prevented and a cardiac arrest can also happen because of other things it means you are effectivly dead. A heart attack means an artery leading to your heart is blocked and now that part doesnt have blood anymore so cant work kinda like a heart stroke. So add to that severe pain or pressure where there shouldnt be (Abdomen Lungs, Jaw, Arms, Back) often coupled with a feeling of wrongness or fear of dying(more than normal).
I'm a vet tech. Have had two memorable situations like this over the years. The first was like the guy trying to remove ticks with tweezers, except in this case, he was trying to burn them off with a cigarette. And he couldn't understand why the poor dog yelped and jumped away every time he did it. đ The second was a lady who was sure she needed to euthanize her cat because its abdomen had rapidly gotten swollen. When we examined the cat, we could give her the good news that it wasn't cancer; the cat was just pregnant. She said that was impossible, it was an indoor cat. The vet asked if she might have snuck out and the owner said no. She asked the owner if she had any other cats - yes, one. Was it a male - yes. Was he fixed - no. Well...? No, the owner said. That was impossible, as the other cat was the pregnant cat's brother. We had to explain to her that cats don't care if it's incestuous. She was horrified that her babies would do this.
In general, especially in assessing procedures like inhaler use, itâs best to first ask the patient to demo how he does it, correcting as necessary. Second best is to sort of demo it yourself and ask the person to follow and correcting as necessary. Admittedly, we doctors do these things so often that we forget that patients donât have always the same understanding as us.
The older mother story was so sad.
Sometimes it goes the other way.
My mentally impaired, diabetic uncle was released to a medical care facility, after having half his gall bladder removed due to cancer. This operation had a big impact both on his diabetes, as well as on his ability to handle fatty foods. Due to this the medical care facility was charged with teaching him how to stick to a very specific diet.
The same evening he was hospitalized again, due to very high blood sugar. The medical care facility had given him rice pudding with sugar and butter for lunch.
My uncle is a well mannered and trusting boy, so he eats what he is served. He also do love rice pudding, and will happily take seconds if offered.
He was kept at the hospital an extra week, bill sent to the care facility, and was then able to go home. At home he would be visited by a diabetic nurse every day, and only served approved food.
He did learn to watch his food after this experience. If it is anything not on his list, he will ask someone he trusts. Apparently it is too scary riding in an ambulance, so he would rather not eat anything tasty ever again.
Thank you for sharing that. My dear uncle was also mentally impaired and had a slew of things wrong with him. He wasnât diabetic, thank heavens... but he was a good eater. And a very sweet gentle giant. He was scared heâd get diabetes so he always asked if he could eat certain foods. It was cute how he never asked about candy. I miss you Uncle Robert. â€ïž Give your uncle a big hug from a stranger on CZcams.
It's stories like these that make me think that there should be a Darwin clause in the Hippocratic oath.
If we let Darwinism, a.k.a. "Survival of the fittest" decide who got medical care, half of America might die overnight. And just to clarify, I don't mean from pre-existing conditions, I mean from doing stupid shit that's bound to earn them a Darwin Award.
What is a Darwin clause?
@@inkpoint07 1) Are you familiar with the *Darwin Award?* If not, the short version is they recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized via their own actions.
2) Are you familiar with the *Hippocratic Oath?* It basically requires a new physician to swear to uphold specific ethical standards, including the principles of medical confidentiality and non-maleficence.
3) What OP is suggesting, is that doctors should add the stipulation in their contracts that if the patient is too stupid to live, they should be left to their own devices, and you should not be forced to help them.
4) It should also be noted that this is a joke, and no such clause exists, and it would probably be illegal. But I Am Not A Lawyer.
@@inkpoint07 A Darwin clause basically means that any medical professional has the right to refuse service to someone if their injuries were the result of blatant stupidity that would have resulted in their death if not for the intervention of modern medicine.

Yeah at least she had the spirit
So fun fact, it's not strictly accurate to say brain transplants are impossible. In fact, the first one to ever attempted on a living human was scheduled for 2019. But the guy whose head was gonna be transplanted onto a healthy body backed out. He wound up falling in love with a woman - who first heard about him BECAUSE of the potential ground breaking surgery - who talked him out of it. I believe they wound up having kids together, even.
We were gonna try it, because we have successfully transplanted heads before.... Just not on healthy "living" people. Science believes it MAY be possible. Just.... Suuuuuper sketchy, and debatably extremely unethical.

A few decades ago, there was a British comedian called Tommy Cooper, whose delivery style could make a really bad joke funny. One of his jokes goes like this:
