Growing up, my family always told me to be careful with my sugar because my grandpa had diabetes (it was type one), and my family would scare me with it so I wouldn't eat too much sugar... I've also seen comments where doctors said they would rather have HIV than diabetes. I mean, damn. I wouldn't want either, but after reading this, shoot.
This is horrible. I hate how expensive everything is, but this is downright wrong. Nobody should have to pick between rent and life-saving medicine. I am grateful for insurance (it's also a scam), but for those who don't have it or can't afford it, it's so sad and unfair. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to pick between your medicine and something else?
It's almost that time of the year to get the boob smashing faxing machine going on. I am seriously wondering who the heck is creating all the torture devices for women.
Have you ever known someone had a well known sickness and they ended up dying of something else and it was a completely shock? What was it?
I am hoping this is not something that actually happened to someone. I have never dealt with a catheter, but I can't imagine. ๐๐๐๐
So I think I've watched all Final Destination movies, and we are all familiar with that one movie, and I've always known that if I ever see a car with stuff in the back, I should stay far away. A lot of people are afraid of driving for many reasons, and my goodness, I can't believe she had a 1% chance of life, and tbh I am curious where that theory came up with, considering we don't know what organs it hit or missed, etc. Thankful she is alive.
Whenever I hear things like this, it makes me so sad for obvious reasons. It's wild how you can develop another human in this sense; I mean, they can grow teeth and everything- like, wow, I wonder what causes this to happen.
Can you imagine a vape full of multivitamins and antioxidants? I still wouldn't smoke it.
I don't know how much I spent getting rid of mine. ๐๐๐ I got rid of them because my Ortho told me to.
I hate when Doctors use AI for appointments because I don't trust AI with medical information, after learning how Meta uses and stores information, those glasses should be nowhere near a doctor's office.
I did notice that as I became an older patient, they stopped doing a lot of the examinations I used to get. The last time I went to the doctor, the blood pressure cuff wasn't working properly, so they gave up on checking my blood pressure, and that was the only physical check-up I got.
I always wonder what they did with the blood work I did, and if it was given to blood donations.
No lies were told. I used to get fooled by a lot of influencers. Fitness influencers, people who said they have a degree in things that sounded medical...
The longest I've waited in a doctor's office was 2 hours.
6-7. Insurance companies are cruel.
Okay I should not have laughed at this because the blood pressure is REALLY bad. The comments made me laugh especially the last one, but it had me thinking, whenever I go to the doctor's office, and I know exactly what I came for. I want to focus on that, and all of a sudden, the doctor wants to talk about something else, and I get annoyed. In this situation I now will no longer get annoyed because holy ๐ฉ that is bad, forget about the leg pain. ๐คฃ
I swear, whenever I hear someone donate ANYTHING from their body to help others, I always feel happy that someone else is benefiting from someone else's kindness, until I see stuff like this. I thought whenever you donate something, it goes through intense screenings, like blood, plasma, whatever... This is so sad.
This is funny. I would say the same thing for everything because keep it down when speaking about my business, whatever it might be.
I'm not saying people should knock themselves out, but this is a nice miracle.
This made me laugh I know I shouldn't, but it reminded me of Mike's podcast with the therapist. Do you have any odd therapy stories?
It is sad and intriguing that there are maladies out there that aren't very well known. Looking at this photo, it almost looks like a giant toe. I would wonder if there would be a possibility of shrinking it down to the point of being a finger instead of cutting the whole thing off.
I've never dated someone in the medical field to have this type of story, but if you have, what was it like?
This reminds me of the person who got a colonoscopy, and there was a live ladybug in their colon.
