*BREAKING NEWS* an unsurprisingly large amount of doctors have been fired recently for telling patients they are being dramatic 😂 Edit* holy cow 100 likes 💕
It happen to me before when I was younger, I was sick and I was coughing a lot and the doctor told my mom that I was just doing it for attention and nothing is wrong with me
I got told i was being dramatic, that it was just anxiety, and they made me do a pregnancy test 6 times. I was 12. It had started with a stomach bug and it triggered my stomach to get more stomach acid which burned through my stomach mouth and gave me open wounds in my throat and burn damage. Finally they did a gastroscopy and found it all. Only then did they believe me😑
For those who don’t want to see part 2, she basically got a MRI to see the headaches and everything and the results were her brain was to big to fit in her skull so she had to get surgery to get a piece of her skull removed so she can get more knowledge and her brain can grow bigger
Ah ok, thanks. I'm surprised the first doctor didn't send her off asap for MRI, given her symptoms sound a helluva lot like a viral meningitis. Like, you'd want to be able to exclude that if possible. Fast. I would've thought anyway.
I had a kidney doctor almost a year ago who got fired for being a predator, it took a 17 yo for the hospital to do something abt it And he got out on bail and til this day nun of the workers said ish abt it not even to the parents He went to jail like June last year got out on bail, and today he's roaming free. Thank the most High I was NEVER a victim 🙏🏾💗 It happened in Jackson Mississippi 'Mehul dicxit jackson Mississippi sexual assault report'
Basically she went to the MRI and they said she's got something call chiari malformation which meant her brain was too big for her skull so she had to get brain surgery Hope that helped :)
As a nurse, I can't tell you the number of times I've seen women's concerns just blown off. As a dude in nursing, it happens from women to women as well. Even happens to dudes, a lot, but moreso to women. To a child? Who is not even an adult? That's horrible. God I'd like to think I've always listened to people, too. Being short staffed during the pandemic I'm sure we all missed something. Advocate for yourself, and to health care professionals, LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS. I'm sorry you had to go through this as a child.
That happens because most people like to lie for attention and sympathy which are way more than honest patients, I get around 120 patients daily in the ER in 24h shift, only about 10 to 15 are an emergency for real. The rest are just making things up for attention especially women! Accumulated Tiredness and disappointment over time combined with being short staffed and overworked to 36h even, makes you less attentive. We feel bad when this happens as well, I even noticed that some colleagues diagnose the same patient twice without remembering that they are the ones who misdiagnosed them the first time, I even suspected that maybe they do that on purpose to not get in trouble but even with giving them a made up name or not precising which patient their response is immediately correct like instantly the right complete diagnosis that made me sure it's not an act, they were tired or not focusing much due to working not stop. They feel bad to know that it's the same patient they examinated before and misdiagnosed them.
@@chmaroua7475you can’t just assume someone is lying. You are a doctor not a judge. Every patient consultation is important and the only real way to know if they are faking or not is to perform the proper procedures. I rather perform those procedures and find out that they are faking than reject a patient consent and find out that they actually had something serious wrong with them.
@@chmaroua7475The fact you're nurse is scary. I get it there a good few out there who would lie for attention. What about people who are explaining their symptoms and being honest only to be ignored by the doctor? I've been dealing with chest pains, shortness of breath during physical activity. What I mean shortness of breath it's below average to the point doing five to ten push ups tightens up my chest, it gets harder to breath in and out for me. Especially when my left side of chest hurts due to physical activity like working out. Yet my doctor did nothing or cared at all. Doctors and nurses like you would much rather wait until something severe happens to their patients to finally diagnose the condition.
It happens this week for me , I injured myself on Monday I get a prescription on Tuesday saying I need MRI , the next day I go to the emergencies ( because not many places do MRI) they tell me the prescription is useless , we waited 3 hours and in the end the doctors tell me yeah I see there's nothing wrong and maybe I have this or that but we need a MRI -_- Yesterday ( Saturday) I went and had it : I have not 1 , nor 2 but 5 injuries on my knees...
some pain you need to ignore, especially if it's already diagnosed and you can't do shit about it. That's the pain that hurts the most, so it's better to ignore it asmuch as possible.
My husband's doctor told him that he was making up the pain. That pain was a blood clot which finally broke off and killed him because it hit his lungs.
Blood clots and aneurysms are the real scary ones. They'll just kill you outta nowhere. They're harder to diagnose as well, until it's too late. But of course his doctor should've done more.
Honestly many times I get random headaches and I just deal with it it makes me feel like I'm dying but I still deal with it and then Ill be tired and my parents will be like OK COME EAT OHH LOOK POOR CHILD SO TIRED
Like most people doctors get a degree and look on internet/books for an answer. So if they don't find an exact answer they may just tell you anything. The pain persist so they tell you it's something else or drink more water if you say your not a big water drinker. My sister has Chiari malformation and she would just fall at anytime, had trouble walking, and headaches. It took 5 doctors before she got diagnosed correctly and had surgery.
That would lead to the opposite problem though - doctors being afraid to say "sometimes bodies do weird things, if symptoms are managable manage the symptoms" and instead referring from specialist to specialist (leading to psychological stress on patients, discomfort of diagnostic procedures, and takes resources from people who need it by overtreating people who don't) E.g. a child comes to the GP with a rash. It doesn't hurt, child has no other symptoms, but because he wants to avoid being at risk of having ignored something importamt he sends the child to a dermatologist. Dermatologist finds it to be non-infectious, non-cancerous and by all odds harmless, but to be sure the child gets referred to an allergist. And a rheumatologist. And so on. Because no one dares to say "it's harmless" but instead pawns them off to the next person
@@nattycat14 not a problem in Germany where I'm from. Still something my dad (trauma surgeon) notes, "I wish more doctors would tell their patients when it's just something they have to deal with, instead of keeping referring them on to cover their backs" (I had some health issues too as a kid, the priorities were to make sure it's nothing dangerous, then see if there is a way to make it better for me, and failing that to make sure I wasn't dragged to tons of needless appointments)
@@nimayo3068 yah but im pretty sure she explained that she had that pain for 4 years so..why the doctor would say that she doesn't drink enough water..(For 4 years)
@@Kay_zhebest ok look. What if the doctor didnt know all this? Drinking water is a really common way to cure headaches, and not drinking water is often the reason u can get them.
Fr, my haemoglobin was around 5 when it should be 12-13. The doctor asked me how the hell was I travelling on bike about 3-4 hrs everyday and not just laying in bed. My eyes were pretty yellow too idk how I and everyone around me missed it until I one day at last fainted
Same!!!! I’ve gotten to the point where, when my doctor asks me about how painful it is for me, he also asks how long it has been at a noticeable pain versus just there.
I'm so thankful for my GP. The first time I got a migraine, she ordered an MRI. Thankfully it was all clear. Then we worked on triggers and prevention...
I don't know how to explain it, but i wish i can explain it. I was similar to her. But i tell that i feel pain in my head and my body to the people around me, they said that i was just tired or sleepy. So i began to think that i was just tired. Many years later i finally realize i was sick. Not just tired. I regret it not being aware of it. Anyway, protect your body, being healthy is the best feeling
@@funhappy2309 ohh yrr.... Same here 🥺anyone tells me you r sleepy n tired but i knw its another thing... Am taken properly sleep but my headache run 24 hours 🥲🥲sometimes I literally crying from pain🥺
Finally one of these stories where the parent actually took the kid seriously and took them to the doctor Edit:Ya'll it's not a competition on which one is worse. I'm just acknowledging that it's good that the mom was actually there for her, yes it still sucks that the doctor wasn't, but that's not even the point I was making.
@@crys_cristina8630 It's actually pretty common for people to ignore symptoms until it becomes unbearable. Last year, I suffered for 3 months with pain in my ribs and trouble breathing after an incident at work, and chose to ignore it. I was dragged to the hospital by a family member after I started vomiting blood and getting bloody noses only to find out I had three cracked ribs, the flu, and C-19. Still recovering from that sh*t show but they told me I'd probably have d*ed if my family member hadn't physically forced me to go.
But then the Dr poopooed her. I'm 45, and have had Drs not listen to me for the last 15 years. I just don't go anymore, and self-medicate. Hopefully I die at 50.
@@lapislazarus8899 I really hope you keep trying. I'm mid 30s, seen more than 25 doctors over the last 4 years. I still don't know what's causing my problems but I haven't given up just yet. I go through periods when I won't go see any because it's SO mentally and emotionally draining (not to mention adding to my medical debt) I truly hope you find a way to heal with or without a doctor's help. Much love, friend.❤
For anyone wondering so you don’t have to watch all 4 parts she has a condition where her brain is growing too big in her skull and is now growing down her spine (chiari malformations). She has to get a surgery and she eventually does. After the surgery, she has severe nausea and vomiting and other symptoms. After a few days, she gets better and can finally leave the hospital. After about 3 weeks, she can return to school and dance and still goes to dance for like 3 years.
I doubt a doctor would say that. But yes, drinking less water does lead to heavy and sharp headache. Severe problems are too rare to check on first visit
My doctor did that once. I would throw up a lot and had an ulcer and he was yelling at me to stop pretending. I threw up on his shoes. Also once my ribs was hurting for a long time and he wouldn't allow me to get an xray. So I had to take pain pills just so I'm not in pain. He also been to court for telling a woman that she just had an ulcer but turns out she actually had a tumor and later died. He's still a doctor, my parents goes to him. But as for me I have a different doctor now.
Especially when you know drinking too much water can lead to the exact same symptoms, except usually the outcome is way worse. At least it's just a minority of doctors that say horrors like that....
Reminds me of how my mom had a constant running nose and migraines that wouldn’t go away for years. Just clear liquid dripping out of her nose all the time, it was really frustrating for her. She visited several doctors, and they all told her it was just severe allergies. Finally, after five years, a doctor requested for her to get an MRI. Well the MRI showed us that she had a CSF leak, meaning there was a tear in the tissue surrounding her brain, so her brain fluid was leaking and dripping from her nose. She got brain surgery and is fine now, but I’m so pissed that all these doctors didn’t take her seriously before
I remember one time I had a really bad pain in my foot and me and my dad went to a doctor. They checked out my foot and said nothing was wrong. I kept having pains so like a year later we went back and they still didn’t care. So yeah I still have that foot pain.
More times you cone back. Another paycheck for them. It’s smart but extremely cruel. Most doctors I know. Aren’t like this. But I’ve had a few shitty ones.
I acutely threatened one at the ER because he was trying to send us home with my 2 week old son having trouble breathing from RSV. I told him that if I walk out that door I'm coming back with something you won't like. We got airlifted to erlanger hospital in Chattanooga and he was in the nicu for 13 days. He turns 7 months on the 9th. I was about to go John Q in that emergency room.
More times than not it's the simple solution is usually the answer an example would be chest pain while chest pain can indicate a heart attack it could just be something as little as muscles spasm generally doctors especially ER doctors can only tell you what's not wrong with you medicine isn't a exact science it's very much trial and error
Right? One of the reasons my dad isnt here anymore because a doctor told him his symptoms of not being able to drink or eat anything without feeling like he was choking wasnt cancer. Passed away 2019 of Esophageal cancer
yeah the doctors i go to the only reasons i have specialists now is my doctors actually getting evidence of my issues, I have a specialist for my psudotumor cerebri and it took a bit for her to figure out what and how all my issues started even though me and my mother were literally telling her from the beginning, some doctors get an idea in their head and think their right and you cant tell them otherwise.
Yea. My doctor as a child told me „drink more water etc.“ when I was younger too and I had really bad headaches or feeling bad in general. Well I had an iron deficiency for years and learned to ignore everything (black points in front of my eyes for example or my tiredness). Yea last year (mind that it took like 10 years to find out what’s wrong) it got so bad that my heart was beating 120-160 times a minute. When I did nothing. Finally ONE doctor decided to find out what’s wrong. „Oh dear, how can you even life your life like that?“ and immediately needed to take a minimum of 300 mg iron medication’s a day. Normal amount is like 10-15 mg. Ever since she left every doctor ignores it again and even a heart clinic didn’t wanted to see what’s wrong when I applied (before we knew it was partly the fault of my iron deficiency). You gotta love doctors who don’t take things serious
My pediatrician growing up would call me dramatic every time I came in for something. Granted I was a very very sick baby and in spite of my health issues I still grew up fairly healthy. It wasn't until my symptoms got to the point of hospitalization (after more than one occasion) for a doctor to come from out of the country and took one good glance at me and told them to life flight me to Children's. That doctor saved my life! I wish I could thank him, will never ever ever forget his name. I wish there were more people like him, took their time to take care of the people they vow to save. These doctors take oath and I feel a LOT of the time they are extremely lazy, out of practice or just plain don't give a flying 💩
For those who don't want to go to part 2. Basically her brain was too big for her skull so they had to remove a piece of her skull so her brain could grow.
I think one of the hardest things about having something wrong or chronic pain as a child is that you convince yourself that everyone must be dealing with the same thing and they’re stronger and just pushing through. It takes woman an average of 2 more years to get diagnosed with a chronic condition. We’re either treated like we should just suck it up and deal with it, that we’re trying to get attention or that it’s al in our heads.
I've had ibs for so long and I thought it was normal.. Like the term butterflies in your stomach refers to the pain that.comes when you're stressed but nope I have a weird condition
@@ploopploopploopboop1887 I’m aware, 21 years with chronic pain and conditions now. The most ridiculous thing I’ve dealt with is end up in the hospital and need pain meds and as someone who’s a grown as human have a parent tell them I’m not an addict. Doctors are loosing all compassion.
Especially with menstruation pain. I really don’t know how normal is my pain. Like I’m so confused and the doctor told me it’s normal. And i just assumed that it is normal. Well I guess it is okay then
I had something like that except it happened after my grandpa died and within a week my head felt like it was gonna explode. I had migraines non stop 24 hours, no pain medications worked. Tinnitus, a feeling and hearing sand grains down my neck, i was seeing things expand and get smaller so like curtains and my cat would expand and then get smaller and my 20/20 vision literally ruined in just a week. Went to a public hospital and a group of doctors didn’t know what it is and this *young arrogant male doctor* just told me that i was being dramatic and it was me being a hypochondriac because its just a headache, they sent me home with pain medication that didn’t even work. Then i went to a private hospital and literally the first doctor on board said i have a rare disease called a Pseudo Tumour/Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension which is an extreme excess amount of spinal fluid in the brain that has worn out the back of my eyes which caused me to lose half of my vision. If i listened to the first doctor, i would’ve gone instantly blind. I got an MRI taken and a spinal tap which is actually terrifying because there’s a 50/50 chance that the doctor can make the lower half of your body paralysed if they hit a nerve whilst taking out the excess spinal fluid. But thank god that never happened, although every time that i press the spot where i get the injection it causes sharp shooting nerve pain down my legs. So 💀
those doctors dismissing your concerns need to learn that when a kid is complaining about something they might not be able to communicate the urgency of the matter and things should always be given further consideration rather than saying “ur dramatic”
It's not just kids being dismissed. I came to my doctor in my early 20s, because i was gaining weight for no reason(I didn't change my habits at all) and also had really bad pains in my joints, and some minor symptoms. I listed them all to him, and he told me they were result of me being fat. ...Doctor of the year...
@Michelle Gonzalez That was what annoyed me most. He didn't test anything. Not even simple blood test to see if anything unusual pops up. And it would have because my condition is easily found in blood even among standard general blood test. But because I was 21 and not 50, he didn't bother.
@@extremeencounter7458 It might be funny to you but not for me. My doctor thought exactly the same. It was in vain to explain the joints started to hurt first. I suffered 6 more years without diagnosis, and 2 more years with diagnosis-that was how long it took for sediments around my joints to clear and stop hurting with literally every move, every step. My joints felt as concrete filled with needles or glass shards. It's something you'd wish upon your worst enemy, Slow suffering, while nobody believes you are not making it up. Physical and mental pain.
Yo tuve migraña desde los 4 años y también me tocó lidiar con un par de médicos que solo decían „es una niña, solo quiere llamar la atención“. No aguanté más y cree la costumbre de golpear mi cabeza contra la almohada porque el dolor era insoportable. Cuando un médico a los 10 años me hizo unos exámenes resultó que mi migraña había avanzado tanto que se convirtió en Epilepsia. Cuando tuve 15 llegué a tener convulsiones semanales hasta que a los 21 los síntomas bajaron considerablemente. Si esos médicos hubiesen hecho su trabajo a tiempo me hubiese ahorrado más de 15 años en medicamentos caros y sufrimiento insoportable.
They can't just order extensive tests for every single minor issue, it'd be a waste of time, money, and resources. A few migraines might feel like the end of the world, but the fact is millions of people get them too. It makes sense to first rule out the most common causes unless there are other symptoms that justify further investigation.
It's just like If a kid is pretending to be sick. Sometimes there are reasons and you need to find out those reasons. And of course you can't always just assume the kid is pretending or being dramatic because that can and very badly.
I've had bad experiences with doctors before and that turned into trauma, medical anxiety. Just wanted to say sometimes it's not always the parents/guardian's fault
exactly my mom would say this "for four years Kaydence? I'm not dumb. Go and clean your room. Uhg." parents need to stop THIS Because fake or not if its true it could be like this and her brain could of exploaded killing her!
I just dont Tell my parents not because It isn’t safe but because they act like google doctors- when I was like 7 I fell from a tree and my mom started yelling “DONT PANIC! YIUR PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO DANCE AGAIN BUT THATS OK! YOU WONT DIE BUT IF YOU DO WE LOVE YOU!!” And my mom being that stressed because I fell like 5 feet from a tree as a kid just stresses me out when there’s something wrong 💀 the other day I was in a tonnn of pain and kept throwing up but instead of waking my parents (it was like 1-2am) I just went through it and now I’m fine with zero help 🤷🏻♀️
Yup. Happened to me too. Dismissed for 18 years. It was a massive meningioma, diagnosed following a seizure at the mall. Dismissed by MANY docs. I'm ok now.
I once popped my neck in a very wrong way, and felt a bad pop. I couldn't move my head at all, and I tried to tell my dad I needed to see a doctor, and something was seriously wrong (I was 16 at the time). He just flat out said, "yeah, that's never happening." Luckily, I recovered in about 3 weeks, but what he said sticks with me still. Parents who refuse to listen to their children, probably should never have had them.
@@ChowderEdits refusing to provide medical care for your child is called medical NEGLECT and DCFS/CPS can (and should) be called on you if you are that kind of parent. 3 weeks for the pain to go away is a big deal. Their pain could have been decreased in the meantime and maybe given treatment in the form of physical therapy, if needed.
@@Annuld not it’s the doctors fault too dumbass. She was just a kid and she didn’t know any better and probably thought it was normal. And the doctor was a grown ass adult brushing it off without checking
@@Annuld They wouldn't take her seriously if she told them at 8 years old because of her age and it hadn't been happening for that long. They would've said "Oh! It'll go away soon enough."
My doctor once said that I was too young to be disabled. I was in my upper 20s then. Finally got my diagnosis at 31 after bitching. Now I get to file for disability and free healthcare.
@@espurrbuns4881 so ridiculous, disabilities and health issues don't have any limit on age. I'm glad you were able to finally get the diagnosis and assistance you deserve!
Yes! I had a friend who up with Like disease and they all said she was faking-even she went completely paralyzed for like a year! It took her about 15 years before a doctor finally took her seriously and gave her some relief. Some doctors are a joke
For me one day, my leg started hurting and it kept on getting worse and worse and it happened for a couple months and my mom thought it was just me growing because I’m very tall and eventually she went to redacted to get some scans for me because she was trying to block me out and then they went down and they got some MRI scans. Turns out I had a tumor and I got cancer after two years of fighting. I’m back to normal.
@@Nothing-ci8gq in Medical School doctors are taught to check for the most obvious things first. She ended up having a condition called arnold-chiari malformation and that condition usually goes undiagnosed for a long time because the symptoms of Chiari are the exact same symptoms of several different medical conditions. When she first president she just said she was having headaches /migraines which can be from being dehydrated so they wanted to check for that first. Then after she started presenting with more symptoms they start looking at other conditions which is what led to her diagnosis in the end. I myself have Chiari malformation. I started showing symptoms of it at 2 1/2old but I wasn't diagnosed with it till I was 11 years old. My first symptom was leg pain so they thought I was just having growing pains at two-and-a-half years old. Then when I was in 5 grade the school nurse checked me a year early for scoliosis which I had. The diagnosis of scoliosis is what led to my diagnosis of Chiari malformation.
@@sadiekincaid5310 the water thing is understandable, but when the issue continued and got worse they should have looked further immediately. A 14 year old is old enough to know when something is wrong in their body.
@@scarletrose2880 with Chiari Malfunction the symptoms are the same for a lot of other conditions some of them are easy to diagnose and some of them are hard to diagnose. Chiari has the same symptoms as Multiple Sclerosis as well as about 20 other medical conditions that are more common than Chiari. Not all doctors connect all of the symptoms together but look at each symptom one at a time so they will sometimes miss the connection of all the symptoms. It took my doctor 9 years to to diagnose my Chiari even though I started showing symptoms at a young age. Doctors are taught in medical school that they won't have one chiari patient in their career because it's so rare even though it's not really that rare. The information about Chiari in the medical textbooks has not been updated since the 1960's even though the books are updated each year with new information on all the other conditions except for Chiari. In the medical textbooks the information in the textbooks on Chiari is about maybe half a page long if that. There are people who go 10 years without the diagnosis of Chiari even though they are showing obvious symptoms of Chiari.
My sister lives with this and she was diagnosed at 39. It is the most heartbreaking thing to see your loved one from being an educator for people working in disability to becoming disabled. Multiple surgeries, she's blind, and requires a carer. My heart goes out to you. There's only a few doctors in Australia that really understand.
I can understand what you're going through my younger sister is 18 and she's been diagnosed with peritoneal cancer which is a very rare cancer.. pray for her speedy recovery 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
This makes me so grateful that as a woman, my male doctor listens to me and takes me seriously. My mom currently has a broken hip because her doctor blew her concerns of dizziness off for months.
My aunt went to the emergency room to get checked bc her stomach was in pain and everyone else that came in after her was seen first until the room was almost empty, at this moment she was pale and sweating profusely, when she was finally called in to get checked, she died shortly after.
Yeah, When I was in high school I told my mom I started to have vision troubles and she accused me of wanting to have glasses "cuz it's trendy"... LOL at that time (1995) glasses were frigging ugly, nobody wanted this. So she never took me to an optometrist, but I was lucky enough to find lost glasses somewhere in school... and THEY FITTED.... Sometimes I think there's really a god lolll
I suffer from cluster headaches, It’s considered to be one of the most painful conditions known to medical science. I began getting them in high school and they were affecting my grades. My parents took me to a neurologist and he didn’t believe me, he said I was too young and shouldn’t be reading Web MD. He wrote me a prescription for ibuprofen and sent me home. They got progressively worse and one night in my mid twenties I blacked out from the pain while driving and got into a serious accident. It’s incredibly frustrating dealing with doctors that don’t believe you.
I was diagnosed with cluster headaches as well. Im in a remission period currently. Finger crossed it lasts. Sumatriptan helps, also micro dosing with shrooms. I heard botox also helps people with migraines.....not sure if it would help cluster headaches. There's another pill my doctor prescribed but I can't remember the name at the moment. They cost like $2000 a pill though. Freakin insane
@@tjua05 psychedelics did the trick for me. My understanding is that Cluster headaches are triggered by certain brain patterns and routines, which is why they tend to strike at the same time and place every day. Psychedelics disrupt those brain patterns so the headache doesn’t get triggered. It works as a preventative and will keep them at bay, but they don’t stop the headache immediately. No prescription meds have ever worked for mine, not even the strongest painkillers. The only other drug I tried that got rid of the pain instantly was cocaine because it’s a numbing agent and the nostrils are directly beneath the eye socket where the pain is located. It’s definitely not a cure and I don’t recommend picking up the habit, but it stops the pain in an instant so do with that information what you will. I haven’t touched the stuff in years and I intend to keep it that way. Fortunately my Clusters are gone at the moment, I haven’t had one in 3 or 4 years now. Good luck man, I hope yours stay in remission.
I've never had very bad headaches, but I do have something called endometriosis which a lot of women say is worse than the pain of childbirth, I've asked my mom for treatment but she just says 'I had it a lot worse.' I hate it when people completely ignore your cries for help or just say 'deal with it, I've had it worse' or 'it's not that bad.'
My cluster headaches started when I was 12. My mum took me to the GP who said she was going to refer my to a specialist. When I got home from school a couple of weeks later my mum said that she got a call from the GP saying she actually wasn’t going to refer me so as she thought I was only saying I had headaches for attention. I thought it was weird that 1) they would just assume that as I was a super shy kid so definitely didn’t crave attention and 2) it took her 2 weeks to phone my mum saying she wasn’t going to refer me. I put up with them for years, even after I left home (at 16) because I didn’t want to be labelled an attention seeker again. Then when I was 20 I requested a copy of all of my medical records (because of an unrelated reason) and in there was a letter that the specialist, who I WAS referred to has written my mum 😮 It was inviting me to an appointment but asked my mum to remove things from my diet, like dairy, caffeine & a few other things. I was never told about that letter. My mum, who has always been what I call a minimalist parent (social workers were in and out of my childhood due to neglect) clearly read the letter and couldn’t be bothered to cut things from my diet as it would be too much effort for her so she made up the lie about the dr not believing me. I then went to my (different) GP and got referred to a specialist who helped me discover that they were caused by a sensitivity to Tyramine and nitrates. I now try my best to avoid foods containing them.
This hits hella close to home for me bro 😭 When I was 10 I was dancing (not ballet, but dancing nonetheless), I felt a very sharp pain in my left knee causing me to fall down pretty dramatically. My mom took me to the doctor, they did x-rays and said it was just a "extra growth plate". Yeah, no it was literal cancer bro 💀
And the doctor cant just base it off simply off her own words. If the doctor were to do MRI's and CAT scans just to check. If there was nothing, the parents would have to pay double due to the doctors actions of doing such things
@@katrineruby we know but that’s not the point. We are focusing on some of the doctors and parents that call their kids dramatic and act all surprised when the kid/person dies
@@boptest7222 But sometimes testing is necessary to find out what is causing the problems. I mean seriously if a kid is complaining of migraines and fainting spells there's obviously a reason and Its the doctor's job to figure out what it is, not just say that the patient is being dramatic. Just assuming that the patient is faking or being dramatic can get somebody killed.
Ice pick headaches are a type of headache disorder that causes unexpected, sharp, stabbing pains. Primary stabbing headaches have no underlying cause. They're difficult to treat because the pain lasts just a few seconds. You can take steps to prevent headache.
don’t let anyone keep you from going to a doctor if YOU are concerned, my family told me I was fine I went in and got a scan and my rib cage had been shifted and my ribs were close to puncturing my lungs (I did a backflip and landed a very wrong way) if you seek medical help take it don’t leave it it could be something so much worse than chest pain or a headache
And they wonder "HOW DID IT END UP TO STAGE 4 OF CANCER?" (this is one of common examples that take ppls lives) honestly I wish ppl took concerns seriously...
i use to get bad anxiety attacks and all my mom would say is just breath and brush it off until one day i stop breathing in my sleep and have sleep paralysis now she regrets
Honestly family in most cases isn't as gaslighting as the doctors. Took me 20 years to get an autism and STPD diagnosis while complaining all that time
Dang you got me scared can you tell me how did they fix it I have broken rib over ten years ago and it rebroke in the front from picking something to heavy when I was initially hit in the back and now the rib is sticking out real bad in the front
I think I don’t need to tell a kid sth like that but what should the doctor have done? Think a child comes to you and says she has headaches for years. Then just get a second opinion or say that you rlly need an check up. Such comments don’t hel cause every doctor can make misstates and that one was none.
Doing an MRI on somebody because she has some headaches is a terrible idea before checking other possible issues. 90% of cases you won't find anything and 5% of them you will end up doing more tests and treatments that weren't necessary. Probably the first doctor they went to wasn't a neurologist btw.
YALL: IF YOU GET THESE PAINS: It’s probably not severe You may be having growing pain Dehydration Make sure u don’t have her symptoms It could be a type of head eczema Y’all stay calm you will be fine ❤
We should seriously start holding doctors responsible when they disregard our concerns, ESPECIALLY because it’s unfairly leaned against girls and women for being “hysterical”
I don't think it's necessarily the case of doctors ignoring patients. The problem is that there is significant overlap in symptoms for a lot of illness. I'll give a personal anecdote as an example. From the age of 11 I kept getting horrible pain in my knee's like i was being stabbed in the knee cap, I was an active kid, football, basketball, martial arts etc. I went to the doctor, I was told it's likely just growing pains after all I'm at the start of puberty. Pain didn't go away went back multiple times, kept getting told it's growing pains. Went back as an adult because the pain never stopped, just got worse and worse. Turns out I don't have enough fluid on my knee joint which has cause the knee cap to get smashed into my leg bones every time there's a force collision, like say during basketball, football etc. It's caused irreparable damage to my knee caps and I'm now in pain daily, It's not the doctors fault they passed off my initial visit as growing pains, it would be irresponsible of them to put me through numerous exams and create anxiety when the likely cause is growing pains.
I work in medical. It's disgusting how often women or kids in particular are just NOT taken seriously, especially young women with their symptoms. I highly advise everybody be a patient advocate for your loved ones. Go WITH them to appointments. Doctors take things much more seriously if somebody joins somebody in a doctor's appointment, and never stop fighting. If you know something's wrong, keep pushing no matter who tells you that you're crazy because you're probably not. You're intuition is EVERYTHING and sometimes valuable time can be wasted. So push it if you need to and you CAN fire your doctor and get a new one. If somebody's not doing what you need them to get a different doctor. NEVER give up. 💖
One thing doctors should never do is assume that the patient (especially kids) is faking or being dramatic. Even if they actually are, it's better to check every possibility, because someone's life may actually be in danger. No doctor ever assumed I was faking or being dramatic when it comes to symptoms. My parent also never assumed due to my permanent health condition. Ignoring the problem would probably kill me or brought me very close to death many times throughout my life.
No one is cared for at a hospital... that's point number 1, I used to work in one. Rule number 1 is, what makes us more money. Rule number 2, as long as they can pay, they're healthy. Rule number 3, if they happen to die, well that's being added to the bill.
I feel you with the headaches everyday that just get worse and turn into daily migraines and they just get worse and worse by the day but my mom doesn't take me to the doctor like ever
My daughter had a similar experience at age 12. Turned out she had a brain tumor and was not a crazy drama queen or migrains. Thanks to a resident doctor they finally got her an MRI and had her in surgery within 24hrs. She is married and has 2 kids now. I hope you are doing well now too.
Im 13,i wish doctors would take me seriously when i tell them that i have a sharp pain behind my ear and also inside my ear,its so painful but they say its just that mandibule is in the wrong place Sorry for the bad english,im not using a translator rn
My doctor told me my neck pain and migraines were from menopause and recommended I see a psychiatrist, I went from her office to the emergency room where I got diagnosed with two herniated disc, and had surgery immediately. If you’re in severe pain in the doctor says it’s not a problem. I always get a second opinion. Always.
My goodness! I just said that some female doctors are as bad as the male doctors. She had no empathy and didn’t bother to research any options. I’m glad you were treated and I hope you are doing better. It’s infuriating!
I went to the doctor one time, “it was a full on hospital” and I told them my symptoms and they said I had a cold and I was just being dramatic. A week later, I get worse and worse so my mother takes me to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and they diagnosed me with full on pneumonia in my left lung. Took me 3 weeks to recover plus coughing for 4 months after that. Thanks hospital 😑
My wife was accused of being overdramatic and wanting painkillers (that she didn't take because she didn't like the feeling she had while on them) because of leg pain so bad she couldn't walk. In the end, after about 8 months of crazy tests for everything under the sun-and one really good full skeletal body scan (and the scan tech), we found out she had a bone infarction. Her trophy is being able to tell people she knows what it feels like to decompose.
Hope she healed well my dad shattered his kneecap jumping off a horse and the doctors just thought he sprained it because he didn’t cry or yell when he broke it and he walked on it to but now his kneecap is literal metal under his skin so anytime we are in the airport I laugh because the people scanning him don’t know that so they have to pat him down even though he’s in the airforce LOL😂
This is very real,ive been an ballet dancer since I was 5-7 years old but dizzy causes me to feel stress,and loose control but I know you feel it too 😢
In 2010 I hit my forehead pretty hard on a trolley and had a headache that just wouldn't go away. I went to the Doctors and they said 'just take some Panadol you'll be right' so I did and as soon as it wore off the headache was still there. I went back to the Doctors and I said 'just write me a referral for a CT scan.' the Doctor said 'Fine, but you won't find anything!' I left and had the scan done, turned out I had a 2.5cm in diameter Meningioma (benign tumor) above my right eye. About a week later I had it removed. I was 26yrs old!
@@Batya-Grace They told me to take Panadol and aspirin then after I had the CT Scan they asked me to come back. When I did I told him that I had a brain tumor and he just smirked, didn't even apologize!!!
don't you love it when doctors go "nah you're exaggerating" or "you're just being dramatic" instead of actually helping or acknowledging that they can't diagnose the problem 🙂
If a doctor ever tells you that you are faking it, get silent, stand up, and walk out. Then call the medical board to report malpractice. If this were a stroke and she were told "Your faking it" she would have died on the spot. I have known people with epilepsy who ended up in the ER for a grand mal and were told their were faking it. Also Call in the Charge nurse, they are the ones allowed to yell at the doctors.
Sadly, them ignoring the patient's complaining and concerns happens all the time. I have health issues and every time I go to the doctor so tell me you're fine. There's nothing wrong with me. You're fine. There's nothing wrong with you and do the minimum amount they they think of. And then tell me I am fine and that there's no reason I should be having pain issues or other issues that are going on.

If a doctor tells you you’re being dramatic they should be fired
*BREAKING NEWS* an unsurprisingly large amount of doctors have been fired recently for telling patients they are being dramatic 😂
Edit* holy cow 100 likes 💕
It happen to me before when I was younger, I was sick and I was coughing a lot and the doctor told my mom that I was just doing it for attention and nothing is wrong with me
I got told i was being dramatic, that it was just anxiety, and they made me do a pregnancy test 6 times. I was 12. It had started with a stomach bug and it triggered my stomach to get more stomach acid which burned through my stomach mouth and gave me open wounds in my throat and burn damage. Finally they did a gastroscopy and found it all. Only then did they believe me😑
Agreed
No they don't if they don't have enough info to know it isn't their fault
For those who don’t want to see part 2, she basically got a MRI to see the headaches and everything and the results were her brain was to big to fit in her skull so she had to get surgery to get a piece of her skull removed so she can get more knowledge and her brain can grow bigger
She was too smart for her own good i guess
big brain moment
Power, or in this case knowledge comes with responsibilities I guess
Ah ok, thanks. I'm surprised the first doctor didn't send her off asap for MRI, given her symptoms sound a helluva lot like a viral meningitis. Like, you'd want to be able to exclude that if possible. Fast. I would've thought anyway.
Tysmm, I wasn't able to find the video but i was too curious❤
Those "doctors" should be in jail and lose their license.
As a person who suffers from migraines, that first doctor is not all wrong. Migraines are typically brought on by physical strain and dehydration.
@@harp167It's not abt the water it's abt the fact that the doctor said she was being dramatic and nothing is wrong.
I had a kidney doctor almost a year ago who got fired for being a predator, it took a 17 yo for the hospital to do something abt it
And he got out on bail and til this day nun of the workers said ish abt it not even to the parents
He went to jail like June last year got out on bail, and today he's roaming free.
Thank the most High I was NEVER a victim 🙏🏾💗
It happened in Jackson Mississippi
'Mehul dicxit jackson Mississippi sexual assault report'
overreacting much?
Basically she went to the MRI and they said she's got something call chiari malformation which meant her brain was too big for her skull so she had to get brain surgery
Hope that helped :)
I knew it as soon as I saw dizziness and fainting. Chiari is pretty rare, but can be bad.
Good now I don’t have to watch that dumbass video

Oh yes more water would’ve definitely helped 🫤
@@autxmnboba3908 .?? I don't get your comment.
As a nurse, I can't tell you the number of times I've seen women's concerns just blown off. As a dude in nursing, it happens from women to women as well. Even happens to dudes, a lot, but moreso to women. To a child? Who is not even an adult? That's horrible. God I'd like to think I've always listened to people, too. Being short staffed during the pandemic I'm sure we all missed something. Advocate for yourself, and to health care professionals, LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS. I'm sorry you had to go through this as a child.
That happens because most people like to lie for attention and sympathy which are way more than honest patients, I get around 120 patients daily in the ER in 24h shift, only about 10 to 15 are an emergency for real. The rest are just making things up for attention especially women! Accumulated Tiredness and disappointment over time combined with being short staffed and overworked to 36h even, makes you less attentive. We feel bad when this happens as well, I even noticed that some colleagues diagnose the same patient twice without remembering that they are the ones who misdiagnosed them the first time, I even suspected that maybe they do that on purpose to not get in trouble but even with giving them a made up name or not precising which patient their response is immediately correct like instantly the right complete diagnosis that made me sure it's not an act, they were tired or not focusing much due to working not stop. They feel bad to know that it's the same patient they examinated before and misdiagnosed them.
@@chmaroua7475you can’t just assume someone is lying. You are a doctor not a judge. Every patient consultation is important and the only real way to know if they are faking or not is to perform the proper procedures. I rather perform those procedures and find out that they are faking than reject a patient consent and find out that they actually had something serious wrong with them.
@@chmaroua7475The fact you're nurse is scary. I get it there a good few out there who would lie for attention. What about people who are explaining their symptoms and being honest only to be ignored by the doctor? I've been dealing with chest pains, shortness of breath during physical activity. What I mean shortness of breath it's below average to the point doing five to ten push ups tightens up my chest, it gets harder to breath in and out for me. Especially when my left side of chest hurts due to physical activity like working out. Yet my doctor did nothing or cared at all. Doctors and nurses like you would much rather wait until something severe happens to their patients to finally diagnose the condition.
It happens this week for me , I injured myself on Monday I get a prescription on Tuesday saying I need MRI , the next day I go to the emergencies ( because not many places do MRI) they tell me the prescription is useless , we waited 3 hours and in the end the doctors tell me yeah I see there's nothing wrong and maybe I have this or that but we need a MRI -_-
Yesterday ( Saturday) I went and had it : I have not 1 , nor 2 but 5 injuries on my knees...
Cause they assume children are sensitive and are liars who would do anything for attention or not school
"Just drink more water" is the worst sentence
First, NEVER ignore your pain. It hurts but its a warning from your body. It will get worse if you ignore it
Straight FAX
this is why i sometimes trust my anxiety lmao-
I do tho 😊
Too broke to go to the doctors
some pain you need to ignore, especially if it's already diagnosed and you can't do shit about it. That's the pain that hurts the most, so it's better to ignore it asmuch as possible.
My husband's doctor told him that he was making up the pain. That pain was a blood clot which finally broke off and killed him because it hit his lungs.
😢 im so sorry
That's horrible. Pain is ALWAYS what the patient says it is. At least that's what I learned in nursing school
Blood clots and aneurysms are the real scary ones. They'll just kill you outta nowhere. They're harder to diagnose as well, until it's too late. But of course his doctor should've done more.
May your husband rest in piece.

Part 2: She found out her brain was too big for her skull and had to get brain surgery
Waiting 4 years to tell your parents about the pain is WILD to me
Right?! My kids tell me about every ailment 😂😂😂
some kids (me included) just dont have parents that would believe them or care my parents would probably just think i was being dramatic tbh
@MicrowaveableMomi Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Honestly many times I get random headaches and I just deal with it it makes me feel like I'm dying but I still deal with it and then Ill be tired and my parents will be like OK COME EAT OHH LOOK POOR CHILD SO TIRED
Doctors should be held accountable for patients they ignore.
Agreed 💯💯
Like most people doctors get a degree and look on internet/books for an answer. So if they don't find an exact answer they may just tell you anything. The pain persist so they tell you it's something else or drink more water if you say your not a big water drinker. My sister has Chiari malformation and she would just fall at anytime, had trouble walking, and headaches. It took 5 doctors before she got diagnosed correctly and had surgery.
That would lead to the opposite problem though - doctors being afraid to say "sometimes bodies do weird things, if symptoms are managable manage the symptoms" and instead referring from specialist to specialist (leading to psychological stress on patients, discomfort of diagnostic procedures, and takes resources from people who need it by overtreating people who don't)
E.g. a child comes to the GP with a rash. It doesn't hurt, child has no other symptoms, but because he wants to avoid being at risk of having ignored something importamt he sends the child to a dermatologist. Dermatologist finds it to be non-infectious, non-cancerous and by all odds harmless, but to be sure the child gets referred to an allergist. And a rheumatologist. And so on. Because no one dares to say "it's harmless" but instead pawns them off to the next person
@theninja4137 and that adds up reaaal quick, especially without insurance or insurance that has limited coverage
@@nattycat14 not a problem in Germany where I'm from.
Still something my dad (trauma surgeon) notes, "I wish more doctors would tell their patients when it's just something they have to deal with, instead of keeping referring them on to cover their backs"
(I had some health issues too as a kid, the priorities were to make sure it's nothing dangerous, then see if there is a way to make it better for me, and failing that to make sure I wasn't dragged to tons of needless appointments)
That first Dr needs to be fired. ASAP

Fr though, I mean like, It's your job to take care of the patient and make them feel better, not telling them that their being " dRaMaTiC "
I didn’t realize I had a high-pain tolerance until the doctor asked me “How the hell are you still conscious??” And I just shrugged
did you get scared when your doctor asked how you are still conscious?
Same bru
Fr, my haemoglobin was around 5 when it should be 12-13. The doctor asked me how the hell was I travelling on bike about 3-4 hrs everyday and not just laying in bed. My eyes were pretty yellow too idk how I and everyone around me missed it until I one day at last fainted
You know it’s serious when the doctor cusses
Same!!!! I’ve gotten to the point where, when my doctor asks me about how painful it is for me, he also asks how long it has been at a noticeable pain versus just there.
It’s so annoying when doctors don’t listen.
I'm so thankful for my GP. The first time I got a migraine, she ordered an MRI. Thankfully it was all clear. Then we worked on triggers and prevention...
The fact she tolerated the pain for 4 YEARS without even informing anyone
I don't know how to explain it, but i wish i can explain it. I was similar to her. But i tell that i feel pain in my head and my body to the people around me, they said that i was just tired or sleepy. So i began to think that i was just tired. Many years later i finally realize i was sick. Not just tired. I regret it not being aware of it. Anyway, protect your body, being healthy is the best feeling

@@crys_cristina8630 It's actually pretty common for people to ignore symptoms until it becomes unbearable. Last year, I suffered for 3 months with pain in my ribs and trouble breathing after an incident at work, and chose to ignore it. I was dragged to the hospital by a family member after I started vomiting blood and getting bloody noses only to find out I had three cracked ribs, the flu, and C-19. Still recovering from that sh*t show but they told me I'd probably have d*ed if my family member hadn't physically forced me to go.
But then the Dr poopooed her. I'm 45, and have had Drs not listen to me for the last 15 years. I just don't go anymore, and self-medicate. Hopefully I die at 50.

Her brain was too big for her skull and needed surgery to fix it.
Oh, thanks.
For anyone wondering so you don’t have to watch all 4 parts she has a condition where her brain is growing too big in her skull and is now growing down her spine (chiari malformations). She has to get a surgery and she eventually does. After the surgery, she has severe nausea and vomiting and other symptoms. After a few days, she gets better and can finally leave the hospital. After about 3 weeks, she can return to school and dance and still goes to dance for like 3 years.
that doctor needs to be fired. you can’t just tell someone that their “being dramatic”. your a doctor for a reason…
Edit: mom, i’m famous…
I doubt a doctor would say that. But yes, drinking less water does lead to heavy and sharp headache. Severe problems are too rare to check on first visit
With the condition she has its actually common until I lost movement this is what drs told me
My doctor did that once. I would throw up a lot and had an ulcer and he was yelling at me to stop pretending. I threw up on his shoes. Also once my ribs was hurting for a long time and he wouldn't allow me to get an xray. So I had to take pain pills just so I'm not in pain. He also been to court for telling a woman that she just had an ulcer but turns out she actually had a tumor and later died. He's still a doctor, my parents goes to him. But as for me I have a different doctor now.

Reminds me of how my mom had a constant running nose and migraines that wouldn’t go away for years. Just clear liquid dripping out of her nose all the time, it was really frustrating for her. She visited several doctors, and they all told her it was just severe allergies. Finally, after five years, a doctor requested for her to get an MRI. Well the MRI showed us that she had a CSF leak, meaning there was a tear in the tissue surrounding her brain, so her brain fluid was leaking and dripping from her nose. She got brain surgery and is fine now, but I’m so pissed that all these doctors didn’t take her seriously before

We love doctors who don’t do what is literally their job
More times you cone back. Another paycheck for them. It’s smart but extremely cruel. Most doctors I know. Aren’t like this. But I’ve had a few shitty ones.
I acutely threatened one at the ER because he was trying to send us home with my 2 week old son having trouble breathing from RSV. I told him that if I walk out that door I'm coming back with something you won't like. We got airlifted to erlanger hospital in Chattanooga and he was in the nicu for 13 days. He turns 7 months on the 9th. I was about to go John Q in that emergency room.
More times than not it's the simple solution is usually the answer an example would be chest pain while chest pain can indicate a heart attack it could just be something as little as muscles spasm generally doctors especially ER doctors can only tell you what's not wrong with you medicine isn't a exact science it's very much trial and error
When you hear hoofbeats, do you think horses or zebras?
Right? One of the reasons my dad isnt here anymore because a doctor told him his symptoms of not being able to drink or eat anything without feeling like he was choking wasnt cancer. Passed away 2019 of Esophageal cancer
We do really need reliable doctors and ones who won't think we're being dramatic.
Even if they think we're being dramatic, they should run the damn tests.
But of course, according to insurance companies that's a waste.
Right?! Especially if your in America or anywhere else that has to pay. You’re not paying for that crap. But nobody should get a shit doc like that.
This is exactly why having for profit medical is a bad idea.
yeah the doctors i go to the only reasons i have specialists now is my doctors actually getting evidence of my issues, I have a specialist for my psudotumor cerebri and it took a bit for her to figure out what and how all my issues started even though me and my mother were literally telling her from the beginning, some doctors get an idea in their head and think their right and you cant tell them otherwise.

Yea. My doctor as a child told me „drink more water etc.“ when I was younger too and I had really bad headaches or feeling bad in general. Well I had an iron deficiency for years and learned to ignore everything (black points in front of my eyes for example or my tiredness). Yea last year (mind that it took like 10 years to find out what’s wrong) it got so bad that my heart was beating 120-160 times a minute. When I did nothing. Finally ONE doctor decided to find out what’s wrong. „Oh dear, how can you even life your life like that?“ and immediately needed to take a minimum of 300 mg iron medication’s a day. Normal amount is like 10-15 mg. Ever since she left every doctor ignores it again and even a heart clinic didn’t wanted to see what’s wrong when I applied (before we knew it was partly the fault of my iron deficiency). You gotta love doctors who don’t take things serious
Don't you love when people can't differentiate between your and you're?
My pediatrician growing up would call me dramatic every time I came in for something. Granted I was a very very sick baby and in spite of my health issues I still grew up fairly healthy. It wasn't until my symptoms got to the point of hospitalization (after more than one occasion) for a doctor to come from out of the country and took one good glance at me and told them to life flight me to Children's. That doctor saved my life! I wish I could thank him, will never ever ever forget his name. I wish there were more people like him, took their time to take care of the people they vow to save. These doctors take oath and I feel a LOT of the time they are extremely lazy, out of practice or just plain don't give a flying 💩

I think one of the hardest things about having something wrong or chronic pain as a child is that you convince yourself that everyone must be dealing with the same thing and they’re stronger and just pushing through.
It takes woman an average of 2 more years to get diagnosed with a chronic condition. We’re either treated like we should just suck it up and deal with it, that we’re trying to get attention or that it’s al in our heads.
It took me 10 years to get a diagnosis. It didn't help that I just assumed that the pain was part of the human experience.
I've had ibs for so long and I thought it was normal..
Like the term butterflies in your stomach refers to the pain that.comes when you're stressed but nope I have a weird condition

@@ploopploopploopboop1887 I’m aware, 21 years with chronic pain and conditions now. The most ridiculous thing I’ve dealt with is end up in the hospital and need pain meds and as someone who’s a grown as human have a parent tell them I’m not an addict. Doctors are loosing all compassion.
Especially with menstruation pain. I really don’t know how normal is my pain. Like I’m so confused and the doctor told me it’s normal. And i just assumed that it is normal. Well I guess it is okay then
I had something like that except it happened after my grandpa died and within a week my head felt like it was gonna explode. I had migraines non stop 24 hours, no pain medications worked.

Went to a public hospital and a group of doctors didn’t know what it is and this *young arrogant male doctor* just told me that i was being dramatic and it was me being a hypochondriac because its just a headache, they sent me home with pain medication that didn’t even work.
Then i went to a private hospital and literally the first doctor on board said i have a rare disease called a Pseudo Tumour/Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension which is an extreme excess amount of spinal fluid in the brain that has worn out the back of my eyes which caused me to lose half of my vision. If i listened to the first doctor, i would’ve gone instantly blind. I got an MRI taken and a spinal tap which is actually terrifying because there’s a 50/50 chance that the doctor can make the lower half of your body paralysed if they hit a nerve whilst taking out the excess spinal fluid. But thank god that never happened, although every time that i press the spot where i get the injection it causes sharp shooting nerve pain down my legs. So 💀
The first doctor graduated frm tiktok 💀
those doctors dismissing your concerns need to learn that when a kid is complaining about something they might not be able to communicate the urgency of the matter and things should always be given further consideration rather than saying “ur dramatic”
It's not just kids being dismissed. I came to my doctor in my early 20s, because i was gaining weight for no reason(I didn't change my habits at all) and also had really bad pains in my joints, and some minor symptoms. I listed them all to him, and he told me they were result of me being fat. ...Doctor of the year...
@Michelle Gonzalez That was what annoyed me most. He didn't test anything. Not even simple blood test to see if anything unusual pops up. And it would have because my condition is easily found in blood even among standard general blood test. But because I was 21 and not 50, he didn't bother.
@@maearcher4721 Well, literally the first thing I thought was “joints probably hurt cause of the new fat” lmao
@@extremeencounter7458 It might be funny to you but not for me. My doctor thought exactly the same. It was in vain to explain the joints started to hurt first. I suffered 6 more years without diagnosis, and 2 more years with diagnosis-that was how long it took for sediments around my joints to clear and stop hurting with literally every move, every step.
My joints felt as concrete filled with needles or glass shards.
It's something you'd wish upon your worst enemy, Slow suffering, while nobody believes you are not making it up. Physical and mental pain.
The doctors should be sued for their negligent beheaviour

Yo tuve migraña desde los 4 años y también me tocó lidiar con un par de médicos que solo decían „es una niña, solo quiere llamar la atención“. No aguanté más y cree la costumbre de golpear mi cabeza contra la almohada porque el dolor era insoportable. Cuando un médico a los 10 años me hizo unos exámenes resultó que mi migraña había avanzado tanto que se convirtió en Epilepsia. Cuando tuve 15 llegué a tener convulsiones semanales hasta que a los 21 los síntomas bajaron considerablemente.
Si esos médicos hubiesen hecho su trabajo a tiempo me hubiese ahorrado más de 15 años en medicamentos caros y sufrimiento insoportable.
I love how every family doctor just always says we're being dramatic when we're really hurting and giving the most useless possible solutions
I once sprained my wrist and my mom told me “your being overly dramatic ”and ”stop being such a wimp”. I was 7 at the time
@Bill Oklahoma I severely doubt that the average person would waste money going to a doctor just for funsies
@Bill Oklahoma don't throw your deed onto others
@Bill Oklahoma that's not true don't imply that to "most people"
They can't just order extensive tests for every single minor issue, it'd be a waste of time, money, and resources. A few migraines might feel like the end of the world, but the fact is millions of people get them too. It makes sense to first rule out the most common causes unless there are other symptoms that justify further investigation.
If your child won't tell you something there's a reason , you've taught them somehow it isn't safe.
Yes
It's just like If a kid is pretending to be sick. Sometimes there are reasons and you need to find out those reasons. And of course you can't always just assume the kid is pretending or being dramatic because that can and very badly.
I've had bad experiences with doctors before and that turned into trauma, medical anxiety. Just wanted to say sometimes it's not always the parents/guardian's fault

@@Nothing-ci8gq in Medical School doctors are taught to check for the most obvious things first. She ended up having a condition called arnold-chiari malformation and that condition usually goes undiagnosed for a long time because the symptoms of Chiari are the exact same symptoms of several different medical conditions.
When she first president she just said she was having headaches /migraines which can be from being dehydrated so they wanted to check for that first. Then after she started presenting with more symptoms they start looking at other conditions which is what led to her diagnosis in the end.
I myself have Chiari malformation. I started showing symptoms of it at 2 1/2old but I wasn't diagnosed with it till I was 11 years old. My first symptom was leg pain so they thought I was just having growing pains at two-and-a-half years old. Then when I was in 5 grade the school nurse checked me a year early for scoliosis which I had. The diagnosis of scoliosis is what led to my diagnosis of Chiari malformation.
@@sadiekincaid5310 the water thing is understandable, but when the issue continued and got worse they should have looked further immediately. A 14 year old is old enough to know when something is wrong in their body.
@@scarletrose2880 with Chiari Malfunction the symptoms are the same for a lot of other conditions some of them are easy to diagnose and some of them are hard to diagnose. Chiari has the same symptoms as Multiple Sclerosis as well as about 20 other medical conditions that are more common than Chiari. Not all doctors connect all of the symptoms together but look at each symptom one at a time so they will sometimes miss the connection of all the symptoms.
It took my doctor 9 years to to diagnose my Chiari even though I started showing symptoms at a young age.
Doctors are taught in medical school that they won't have one chiari patient in their career because it's so rare even though it's not really that rare. The information about Chiari in the medical textbooks has not been updated since the 1960's even though the books are updated each year with new information on all the other conditions except for Chiari. In the medical textbooks the information in the textbooks on Chiari is about maybe half a page long if that.
There are people who go 10 years without the diagnosis of Chiari even though they are showing obvious symptoms of Chiari.

I suffer from cluster headaches, It’s considered to be one of the most painful conditions known to medical science. I began getting them in high school and they were affecting my grades. My parents took me to a neurologist and he didn’t believe me, he said I was too young and shouldn’t be reading Web MD. He wrote me a prescription for ibuprofen and sent me home. They got progressively worse and one night in my mid twenties I blacked out from the pain while driving and got into a serious accident. It’s incredibly frustrating dealing with doctors that don’t believe you.
I was diagnosed with cluster headaches as well. Im in a remission period currently. Finger crossed it lasts. Sumatriptan helps, also micro dosing with shrooms. I heard botox also helps people with migraines.....not sure if it would help cluster headaches. There's another pill my doctor prescribed but I can't remember the name at the moment. They cost like $2000 a pill though. Freakin insane
@@tjua05 psychedelics did the trick for me. My understanding is that Cluster headaches are triggered by certain brain patterns and routines, which is why they tend to strike at the same time and place every day. Psychedelics disrupt those brain patterns so the headache doesn’t get triggered. It works as a preventative and will keep them at bay, but they don’t stop the headache immediately.
No prescription meds have ever worked for mine, not even the strongest painkillers. The only other drug I tried that got rid of the pain instantly was cocaine because it’s a numbing agent and the nostrils are directly beneath the eye socket where the pain is located. It’s definitely not a cure and I don’t recommend picking up the habit, but it stops the pain in an instant so do with that information what you will. I haven’t touched the stuff in years and I intend to keep it that way. Fortunately my Clusters are gone at the moment, I haven’t had one in 3 or 4 years now.
Good luck man, I hope yours stay in remission.
I've never had very bad headaches, but I do have something called endometriosis which a lot of women say is worse than the pain of childbirth, I've asked my mom for treatment but she just says 'I had it a lot worse.' I hate it when people completely ignore your cries for help or just say 'deal with it, I've had it worse' or 'it's not that bad.'
They don't believe probably because most come inflating their pain
My cluster headaches started when I was 12. My mum took me to the GP who said she was going to refer my to a specialist. When I got home from school a couple of weeks later my mum said that she got a call from the GP saying she actually wasn’t going to refer me so as she thought I was only saying I had headaches for attention. I thought it was weird that 1) they would just assume that as I was a super shy kid so definitely didn’t crave attention and 2) it took her 2 weeks to phone my mum saying she wasn’t going to refer me. I put up with them for years, even after I left home (at 16) because I didn’t want to be labelled an attention seeker again. Then when I was 20 I requested a copy of all of my medical records (because of an unrelated reason) and in there was a letter that the specialist, who I WAS referred to has written my mum 😮 It was inviting me to an appointment but asked my mum to remove things from my diet, like dairy, caffeine & a few other things. I was never told about that letter. My mum, who has always been what I call a minimalist parent (social workers were in and out of my childhood due to neglect) clearly read the letter and couldn’t be bothered to cut things from my diet as it would be too much effort for her so she made up the lie about the dr not believing me. I then went to my (different) GP and got referred to a specialist who helped me discover that they were caused by a sensitivity to Tyramine and nitrates. I now try my best to avoid foods containing them.
The fact that she didn't tell anybody for 4 years like I would have told someone a couple minutes after it hurt

Ice pick headaches are a type of headache disorder that causes unexpected, sharp, stabbing pains. Primary stabbing headaches have no underlying cause. They're difficult to treat because the pain lasts just a few seconds. You can take steps to prevent headache.
don’t let anyone keep you from going to a doctor if YOU are concerned, my family told me I was fine I went in and got a scan and my rib cage had been shifted and my ribs were close to puncturing my lungs (I did a backflip and landed a very wrong way) if you seek medical help take it don’t leave it it could be something so much worse than chest pain or a headache

The doctor that dismissed her should have their license revoked.
I think I don’t need to tell a kid sth like that but what should the doctor have done? Think a child comes to you and says she has headaches for years. Then just get a second opinion or say that you rlly need an check up. Such comments don’t hel cause every doctor can make misstates and that one was none.
Or maybe just a “talking to” like doctors can mess up too. At least they didn’t kill her.
Doing an MRI on somebody because she has some headaches is a terrible idea before checking other possible issues. 90% of cases you won't find anything and 5% of them you will end up doing more tests and treatments that weren't necessary.
Probably the first doctor they went to wasn't a neurologist btw.

@@joseanaya342 no
@Jose Anaya hell no. It happens to often to be malpractice. Also. Malpractice is number one on the death list. Of causes.
I don't think it's necessarily the case of doctors ignoring patients. The problem is that there is significant overlap in symptoms for a lot of illness.
I'll give a personal anecdote as an example. From the age of 11 I kept getting horrible pain in my knee's like i was being stabbed in the knee cap, I was an active kid, football, basketball, martial arts etc. I went to the doctor, I was told it's likely just growing pains after all I'm at the start of puberty. Pain didn't go away went back multiple times, kept getting told it's growing pains.
Went back as an adult because the pain never stopped, just got worse and worse. Turns out I don't have enough fluid on my knee joint which has cause the knee cap to get smashed into my leg bones every time there's a force collision, like say during basketball, football etc. It's caused irreparable damage to my knee caps and I'm now in pain daily, It's not the doctors fault they passed off my initial visit as growing pains, it would be irresponsible of them to put me through numerous exams and create anxiety when the likely cause is growing pains.
Hahaha, try being a man going to the doctor..
I work in medical. It's disgusting how often women or kids in particular are just NOT taken seriously, especially young women with their symptoms. I highly advise everybody be a patient advocate for your loved ones. Go WITH them to appointments. Doctors take things much more seriously if somebody joins somebody in a doctor's appointment, and never stop fighting. If you know something's wrong, keep pushing no matter who tells you that you're crazy because you're probably not. You're intuition is EVERYTHING and sometimes valuable time can be wasted. So push it if you need to and you CAN fire your doctor and get a new one. If somebody's not doing what you need them to get a different doctor. NEVER give up. 💖
One thing doctors should never do is assume that the patient (especially kids) is faking or being dramatic. Even if they actually are, it's better to check every possibility, because someone's life may actually be in danger.
No doctor ever assumed I was faking or being dramatic when it comes to symptoms. My parent also never assumed due to my permanent health condition. Ignoring the problem would probably kill me or brought me very close to death many times throughout my life.
I appreciate the honesty ❤

Sadly, them ignoring the patient's complaining and concerns happens all the time. I have health issues and every time I go to the doctor so tell me you're fine. There's nothing wrong with me. You're fine. There's nothing wrong with you and do the minimum amount they they think of. And then tell me I am fine and that there's no reason I should be having pain issues or other issues that are going on.
OMG IVE JUST WATCHED ALL FOUR PARTS. IM SO SORRY YOU HAD TO GO THRU THAT. At least ur better now. I’m so happy your ok
