This Online Group Mocks Bad Parenting Decisions, And These 50 Are Just Terrible

I worked in a lab where (among other stuff) we drug tested dockers' pee. We often had to signify dockers to take complementary test becaude their "beta-HcG" were too high. Could be a testicle cancer .. or that they used their pregnant wife pee.

Great comment

That's a s****y healthcare system there. I've always been told exactly why I shouldn't do "x thing" by every doctor that's made a recommendation to me or given me an order. "Hey don't eat anything for 12 hours before your surgery or you'll likely aspirate"...."Don't rely on your birth control while taking these antibiotics cause they'll f**k with each other and you'll get pregnant". Have I just had weird doctors?

The only reason I know is because I work in animal healthcare.

Don't you know the rule of existing? Reproduce a bunch and then it's some else's responsibility to explain everything to you, amongst other parenting novelties, that are granted to you as your god-given right as a breeder!

Because everyone can think of a logical reason why they ask you not to eat, and its not because they will asphyxiate on the food, its because of the thought that they will loose the ability to hold your bowels once they put in the general anesthesia. also patients and parents who are under a lot of stress can not think to ask "clarifying questions" the only questioning they want to ask is will they be well after. its the medical practitioners responsibility for your well being under their care, they go through this everyday XX a day. they know what is going to happen. so i would say it is more up them to inform you. then "you should know, on probably your first operation. "

Because it is so common that all kinds of experts just provide instructions not explanations to the users of that knowledge and then people are called fools for not knowing what the experts know. Wherever they start changing these dynamics people get both more information and a stronger ownership to the issues... so it's not about the doctor or even the hospital in question but many sectors in the society rethinking what practices lead to the best results

Ya know what? From a medical perspective, it might seem obvious. It's not. Did Dad know that surgery meant intubation? Did he realize intubation can cause a gag reflex? Did he realize that a foodless stomach is empty enough to prevent vomiting? Did he realize that vomiting under those conditions could make aspiration a huge danger? There's a lot there which is commonsense for a doctor, but which requires a lot of insight and *accurately* cascading presumptions for a patient or caregiver. No, you shouldn't need to understand all causes of all risks to follow your doctor's orders, but doctors could help themselves by saying stuff like, "if you feed your daughter, it could kill her." Doctors DON'T always have good reasons. When my wife was pregnant, the doctor recommended a totally unnecessary AIDS test; it ended up costing HUGE amounts of money, because the insurance company saw it was totally unnecessary. But it made the doctor more comfortable. And we were out about $1,000.

Just to be clear I'm not saying that's a bad idea in saying it's a good idea and it's sad people have to be so clear during stuff like this..

And still out didn't make sense to say none is allowed to drink for eight hours before ANY operation.

I dunno a dude killing his offspring and thus ending the bloodline still seems to sort of fit Darwinism.

Likewise none of us begged or even asked to be born. It's ok to ask for help (can you reach this, would you take out the garbage), but parents who act like they're owed a lot... that's crazy.
