No one would deal with my uterine fibroid tumors 'til I made my point in dramatic fashion. I awoke one night seemingly giving birth, grabbed my crotch to try to hold it in, and produced a clot that filled a mason jar. Went to the e-room, slammed it on the counter and said "This has got to end!".

My experience wasn't quite as dramatic, but I had a doctor insist that I couldn't possibly be in that much pain and the clots couldn't be all that big. She changed her mind real quick when something similar to your experience happened in her office during a test. I felt bad for one of the nurses who almost fainted though.
 
Still id freak the fuck out....id scream...reculse in the corner
Exactly how I felt! Hysterectomy was out of style at the time. I could have the fibroids scraped or burned out knowing they would regrow, or wait for menopause when they would shrink naturally. Ultimately I had to go to patient services to get results.
 
Literally. :jawdrop:

"So for like the past few months, I pee and see these little wiggly things come out and then they play in the toilet, almost like little grow-your-own sea horses kits!
BUT, now I'm in a little pain right about here, think you can help me, doc?"

NOOOO!!!!
Aaaaagh!!!

I'd just like to point out that all these disgusting, revolting stories are from what appear, judging by the comments, to be females. Females for a fact are FAR grosser than men, both in behavior and due to their natural physiology. The female body truly is a revolting work of art, a freakish masterpiece, a vile, sick, twisted mashup of the horrifying and the enticing. Honestly makes me sick to my stomach sometimes that i'm not a homosexual.

The 50-year-old came to hospital complaining that for the past three months she had been passing worms when she went to the toilet.

3 months.

In light of her case, doctors urged others to consult the medical literature in uncommon cases, as it could lead to better

This is what docs do for most things. People just assume that all docs are super geniuses and have all this shit committed to memory and know all there is to know or can send you to a specialist who does. Not true, not usually anyway. They very often have to hit the books, they have to stay up on the latest medical/scientific journals, they have their own cheat sheets. The public has access to the same shit they use to treat/diagnose you, only difference is we can't get medicine without them saying we can have it, which is bullshit. Everything should be over the counter. Doctors are overrated middlemen in most situations.

It's just like when your car breaks down. For most problems any of us, no matter how mechanic-illiterate we are, can search around enough online and figure out what the likely culprit is and how to fix it. But do we have the tools, do we have the time, the access to parts, etc.

Medical treatment and docs are no different, not really, yet the difference in public perception is immense.

when ever i could fit in whole cloves of garlic

Fit in? Fit? Were you just eating these or did you introduce them into your body another way as well?

And just when you thought nothing could be grosser than pee worms or megan stories.

I eat garlic...not for worms. But I eat garlic stuffed olives.

I love olives...stuffed with pimento, jalapenos, garlic and almonds.

For a snack or chopped to top a bowl of lentils and black onions.

Have you had green olives, chopped up and mixed in cream cheese then put on celery??? I believe you are in canada right?... the only people I have ever seen eat this are all French Canadian.... its like crack to me... other wise I HATE celery

Some people are just too calm about things like this.
I used to watch this show on animal planet.
This chick went to use the bathroom and pooped out a worm. She wrapped it in tissue, put it in her pocket and went back to work. Then she tried for 3 months to cure herself with tea and incense. I'm pretty sure I would have called 911 and demanded sirens and lights to the ER.
Are you talking about "monsters inside me"? I love that show

Sweaty balls. Hairy butts. Dick cheese.

Spoken like someone who has no clue how much they don't know. Unless you're talking about pop-science (if you consume a pound of chocolate and bottle of bubbly every day you will live forever!!!), sure, the public has "access" to all the publications, if you're willing to pony up about $50 per article (which will usually be only a nuanced change to the current knowledge). But can they understand them? Outside of just the jargon, there are years of conceptual study that are required to understand these articles. You need to understand general chemistry in order to understand organic chemistry, which you need to know if you want to understand genetics, which you need to know if you want to understand biology, all of which you need to understand to get biochemistry, which is the basis of medicine. Congrats! You've gotten your bachelors degree. But you might still not understand the concepts enough to get in/through med school. Not to mention access to laboratory testing and the fact that specialists exist because the body of knowledge is TOO DAMN DENSE for docs to master all of it.

I liked cheese whiz on my celery with or with out olives.
This whole thread has been absolutely nauseating but this might take the cake...

Not all men have hairy butts, and with proper sanitary practices it really isn't a big deal. And under-boob sweat is far worse than ball sweat/swamp crotch. Underboob sweat is up high, nearly at nose level, out in the open. A man primarily has B.O. from his armpits, a dirty woman or one who's been camping for several days without showering will essentially have double B.O., from the armpits and underboob.

And none of this stuff comes close to the other nastiness effecting females.

There's plenty available for free. And i am talking about legitimate stuff.

But can they understand them? Outside of just the jargon, there are years of conceptual study that are required to understand these articles.

This is a load of horseshit nonsense. You know the type of resources even a freshman or sophomore in a college course is going to be utilizing to write research papers and the like? It's these same type of research articles and scientific journals. These are just young students, with no greater experience or background for understanding then the rest of us. It does not require years of study to understand them, fucking nonsense.

all of which you need to understand to get biochemistry, which is the basis of medicine. Congrats! You've gotten your bachelors degree. But you might still not understand the concepts enough to get in/through med school. Not to mention access to laboratory testing and the fact that specialists exist because the body of knowledge is TOO DAMN DENSE for docs to master all of it.

I'm not talking about securing a job in a fucking research laboratory or hospital right off the street. And i'm not saying it's possible for someone to teach themselves how to conduct medical experiments and the whole 9 yards. I'm merely saying the info is available for the average member of Western civilization to be able to treat themselves on a basic level. The entire point is that you do NOT need a bachelors degree in fucking biochemistry to understand this stuff, especially not at a base level. The human body is NOT that complicated, medicine is NOT that complicated.

If you have cancer, or you lost a fucking limb, or your skin is rotting off, or your temp climbs to 105 and you can't even think straight, yeah of course, seek help. But for the overwhelming majority of issues people get, the overwhelming majority of issues that put you in the docs office, the basic shit we find ourselves returning to docs/pharmacies/etc. for time and time and time and time again, it's easy to treat allllll of that ourselves. Well it WOULD be easy if the system didn't block ones abilities to do so, if these simple, everyday meds for allllll these simple, everyday issues weren't prescription only.

And what about the chronic issues so many of us have where a professional HAS diagnosed us, where a proper, beneficial course of treatment HAS been reached and provided? These are things we by experience and by working/talking with said professional can very easily become experts on ourselves. It's not hard at all, even for a dumbshit, to become an expert on their own body, on their own ailment. If i know what the problem is, i know what my prescription is, i know the risks and the side effects and everything to look for, why the fuck am i not able to acquire said treatment on my own? I'm for some bizarre reason required to go back to a doc, waste my entire fucking day, in order to get a prescription renewed/ordered? What kind of fucking sense does that make? And i'm not even talking about stuff that would require meds frequently abused like pain pills here(although that's bullshit and the fact others abuse them shouldn't impact my access in the fucking slightest).

The mentality you display here is precisely why we're in the situation we're in, it's why were' helplessly dependent on docs, it's why there's such a huge problem in this country with people not fighting for their own medical care and treatments. It's why the pharmaceutical industry is the powerhouse it is, it's why misdiagnoses are permitted to occur, why people don't question things, don't seek second opinions, it's why people allow problems to grow and get worse and worse and worse until things become serious. People don't even think, "hey, i could educate myself and know what to do when this happens, i could educate myself to be able to make an intelligent hypothesis, if not outright correct diagnosis, as to what's going on with my body and take the appropriate actions in a timely fashion." Instead they stay ignorant, cuz society tells them the human body and medicine are too intricate and complicated for them to ever understand and puts doctors up on pedestals. They go through life without ever attempting to understand, they suffer when they don't have to, they take a docs word as gospel, they often don't know how to even identify if a situation is getting worse or may have been misdiagnosed. It's fucking sickening.

And then those of us who DO know a thing or two are left with ONE option, go to the doctor. I have to inconvenience myself by trying to get a docs appt, driving for hours to get teh care i need, waiting for hours in waiting rooms or at the pharmacy, damn near begging sometimes as if i'm some pathetic deadbeat pillpopping filth for the drug i KNOW from past experience will help my chronic potentially debilitating problem i've dealt with for decades while a doctor tells me he/she would like to give me something new, if they're going to prescribe anything at all.

Such a load of shit you've spewed here, makes me fucking sick.
