The Shocking Moments When Doctors Questioned Patients’ Birth Stories—And Left Them Bewildered.
I was 16, asking about acne on my back. He asked me how much McDonald’s I’d eaten.
I hadn’t had it since I was like 10, and told him so.
His response was to push my head down, pull my shirt up and over my head, and degrade me for my size and kept saying “I bet you eat lots of McDonald’s, don’t you”
Now I don’t trust doctors. 🙃.
“I’m not sure how to say this to you. We’ve talked about it after every physical for over 4 years. You’re really fat”.
High bone density.
I’ve always struggled with my weight, mainly due to very bad habits my dad had with me. But I always played sports, I did karate, basketball and volleyball in HS until I messed up my knee. Turns out, I have really dense bones (if I remember correctly, the high end of the test went up to 10 and I tested on 11,5 or so), which explained why I didn’t break what I should have broken when I messed up my knee (it did caused cartilage damage which they repaired 15 years later), but it also meant that I couldn’t realistically weight what I “should”, so the doctor sent me to physical therapy because “you are a truck, trying to run on a fiat 500 engine”.
Referring to a large mole on my back (looks just like darker skin, not the kind that is raised): “Wow! I’ve never seen one that grows hair! Mind if I take a photo? I might be able to get you into a medical textbook!”.
“The only one in the office who hasn’t gotten Covid is the receptionist, and she got the vaccine!”
– My Aviation Medical Examiner, a family practitioner who also happens to be MAGA to the core. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it, and I’ve replayed it a hundred times in my head and yep – that’s exactly what he said and what he meant.
“You should get a job, or a hobby. You have much too much time to think about yourself.” While poking at the thrush on my tonsil.
“If you’re lucky, you’ll pass out from the pain” said after describing the procedure to drain my sinus. I did not pass out.
“You don’t seem depressed – you’re smiling.”.
I had an eye doctor yell at me asking if I thought I knew more than my old eye doctor.
My old eye doctor gave me a prescription for glasses that made my vision blurry and gave me a headache and I refused to wear them..
I had a tshirt that referenced a TV show i really liked, and a new season was premiering that evening. I had it neatly folded on top of the rest of my clothes in the corner of the room because I was in that awful paper smock while my legs were held up in stirrups because I was at the gyno.
As she was digging around in there for her lost car keys or whatever, she commented, “ooh, you must be *really* excited for tonight!” Me, being the quick-witted young lady that I was, responded, “uhhhh . . . ?” because honestly, what???*
And then she gestured toward my shirt and said “I love that show, too.”.
When I got diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, my doctor told me, an adult woman that I was just “a clinically sleepy girl”
Thanks, bro 🙄.
Last week the doctor came in before I went under for my first colonoscopy, and he said “We’ll put you under and I’ll ram it in and you’ll be through in no time,” and I asked, “‘Ram’??”.
A quack I knew thought I was faking illness. Long story short, after some electronic monitoring it was discovered I suffered nocturnal seizures (epileptic attacks in my sleep). I got as many as 90 attacks per hour. Each and every one potentially fatal.
I would love to see the expression on that quack’s face if he ever knew the truth.
I’m sitting in my underwear on the examination table, and my doctor is looking me over.
“How long have you had issues with gynecomastia?” asked my doctor.
“Huh?” I said. I’d never heard the word before.
“This!” he says, grabbing me by the moob and jiggling.
“Oh, that. I just thought I was getting fat.”
“Well that too.”.
“Do you drink” several times.
It was my first time meeting this doctor and I was confused and uncomfortable she kept asking after I told her no. After rethinking the situation I think she was drunk by her behavior… I never went back.
“Maybe you’re pregnant” said to 17 year old MALE me.
I will say it was all in good fun cause I mentioned I was having weird cravings and some other medical issues.
“I got tired of my golf ball always hitting that branch hanging over the number six fairway so I went out there at night and cut the thing down myself”
