People Share The Bizarre Things Doctors Have Told Them, Here Are The 50 Of The Weirdest Ones

You should have reported that chick at the hospital, they aren't allowed to turn you away. There are tons of people without Insurance that are on payment plans. That Urgent Care doc that you saw is an angel.

Sounds like a doctor who took her oath seriously.

Sounds like a brown recluse. Very damaging. You were lucky.

It's strange that Americans consider socialized health care to be communist but are okay with socialized policing, fire departments, military, roads and other infrastructure.

US healthcare is the classic "dollar wise, penny foolish" society. Curing him now assure that he could pay taxes for all his life, instead of becoming a burden to all.

This one is kind of cute!

Sounds like my boss. I've never met a middle aged woman with such a foul mouth before. ;) And I'm a pretty prolific swearer myself!

The huge vast majority of doctors, nurses and other hospital staff are used to swearing, NOT directly towards them as in aggression, that's obviously not tolerated... But the occasional "Oh f*ck" etc here and there. I swore like a trooper when being transferred from my bed to the transport trolley sometimes because it really fricken hurt! "Oh blinkity all bloody hell bollocks!" was my most inventive one when I was first trying to get myself standing upright!!! I always apologised though but omg one nurse said laughing, "Well, at least we know your mouth definitely works!" 😄😄😄

i once had a doctor, that while she didn't curse, i found her to be very easy to talk to. She would go into great detail when explaining something I didn't understand, and in general, most of my appointments lasted at least 30 mins--just the exam/talking phase, not any of the wait time. I thought i'd hit the jackpot, then some months down the line she tells me she's changing her field from general medicine to end-of-life care...and as much as I hated to loose her, I could totally see her dealing with palliative care. She was so calm and soothing, easy to talk to; i know that anyone she had dealings with in her new field would be very lucky to have someone like her at that stage of their life. She really rocked.

If I had a Dr talk like that I would have to tell him to watch his language I don't care how good he is. The 2 words I hate the most are the f no. B and the c word and my son's know at 33 and 35 I would slap the chap out of them if they say the c word in front of me.

I had VERY heavy and irregular periods for almost 6 years. Once I bled for 10 weeks without stopping, and once I lost about 2 litres of blood in 6 weeks. Went to several doctors, but none really helped. Then one day I started bleeding extremely heavily, lost about half a litre of blood in 2 hours, so the next day I went to the doctor yet again. This time I was sent to the hospital and ultimately got a curettage. A few weeks later I got a call from the hospital that I should come in the very next day, they had something to discuss with me. Turns out the reason for my problems was cancer in my uterine lining. Got surgery 3 weeks later and that was that. I am only pissed because I was suffering needlessly for 6 years. I did everything right, I went to the gynaecologist right after my second period that was too long, I went to 4 different gynaecologists, but still I did not get any help for 6 effing years.

Even after bleeding for 10 months straight, I had a specialist at the Mayo Clinic look me dead in the eyes and say "your test results are normal, I don't know what you want me to do? You're just unlucky." Turns out I have Endometriosis. Had a hysterectomy last week because even with an IUD I was bleeding for 4 weeks straight with a few days off in between.

I've heard more and more about people finally getting treatment for their problems because of doing this. F**k the US healthcare system

Yup. They know nothing about female anatomy and don't want to be bothered. Had an issue and was told I'm just getting older. Long story short, Polyp party in my uterus.

Hey, I read this and thought "maybe uterus cancer?" and was right! I, someone who's entire medical education is House MD, got it right. How can a licenced medial professional miss this?

Tattoo on your neck ;)

Well, with that issue, if he looses a arm they will def know he bleeds excessivly..

Time to get a choker!

At first i forgot this wasn't "bad doctors" soi was wondering what the issue was at first lol

sound logic!

If *I* don't want kids, and I am really, really sure about that, what makes a doctor think I would marry a man who does want kids? Any men who would want kids would not be a good match and I would not waste my time with him, let alone marry him.

WTF! A uterus is optional. This is so f****d up, womens healthcare is such a shitshow.

I was 28 had my third child and my husband wanted a vasectomy..turns out he needed my consense caused by marriage. Law was changed few years later

Either have these procedures accessible or make the male birth control mandatory or something ffs

gee....was he a Republican?🤔

I went to a university doctor once and he ordered a bunch of standard tests for me, one of which was a pregnancy test. When I went back to get the results he said very seriously, "I see that you refused the pregnancy test." I said my usual snappy comeback: "Yeah, if I'm pregnant, I'm starting my own religion!" He looked me straight in the eye and said, "You'd be amazed how many immaculate conceptions come through my office."
