1. bro just needs to use the toilet

2. He’s probably just lactose intolerant.. trust me I’d know 👀

3. He‘s probably just lactose intolerant, he should get that checked out xD

4. So if it was 3 in the morning would he have type 3 diabetes?

5. I’m lactose intolerant and eating a lot of ice cream would make me run to the bathroom. 🍦😱

6. Yeah but not at the ER at 2AM

7. 😂

8. When your midnight snack gives you the shakes

9. Didn’t expect that “sir, it is 2 in the morning” 🤣🤣🤣

10. Yea, I usually save my existential crisis and ice cream binges til 3 am at least

11. I’d start asking exactly how he felt “weird”. Was it a gastrointestinal issue or sudden bodywise issues. He could be dealing with lactose intolerance, hypoglycemia, or even a straight up allergy to dairy.

12. Lactaid does help, but it’s not a cure-all.

13. 😂 sorry but I had worse
    I had a patient who came at 3 am for dry eyebrow hair 😅

14. Did not expect that 😂

15. Yes im kinda worried it could be something even if its not that bad. Sometimes our bodies tell us there is something wrong but we think we’re overreacting

16. Good one 😂

17. I would have asked “weird how?”

18. 😂

19. Yeahh,, you can get that at outpatient department during office hour.. ER stands for EMERGENCY Room..

20. Personally, I wouldn’t check till I’m type 9.

21. Una intolerancia solo le va a dar diarrea y a menos que sea un infante o tenga alguna alteración de electrolitos previa no le va a pasar nada, por esta gente urgencias está atascado y no podemos atender VERDADERAS emergencias y dirás “cómo sabes que no lo es” pues no tengo tiempo de interrogar como me encantaría porque detrás de él hay otros 10 los cuales 5 si son urgencias y de esos 2 podrían complicarse entonces necesito saltar rápido de un paciente a otro para hacer un tríage medianamente decente porque los otros 5 pudieron ir a consulta externa antes y no quisieron

22. ​​@@thermalequilibrium1370depends on the patient’s scale of urgency. I’ve seen patients rip their hand off and apologize for bothering us and other patients screaming bloody murder for a broken finger. People will always believe that they are having an emergency because it’s the worst they have been through, even if it’s minor

23. I once came home dehydrated (headache, shaky, craving water) and my roomie (who always bragged about her IQ) cried when she found out- she was certain I had caught her diabetes. She went so far as to start telling me that she would be there for my insulin injections.

24. anyone who brags about IQ should have their opinions discarded immediately lol

25. Well. At least she wanted to be there for you? Her heart was in the right place. 😭

26. Definition of: Shes not too bright, but her hearts in the right place

27. I had to go to the hospital cuz I fainted and it turns out I was very dehydrated but I had no idea and then I saw the symptoms and was like………well crap. I just had a headache from time to time and was craving liquid until right before I fainted. There was nausea, diarrhea and a lightheaded/dizzy feeling. 0/10 would not recommend

28. Bro ain’t telling Doc about the speed he did right beforehand. Even if you swear it’s not drugs, they’re still gonna test you for drugs.

29. Yeah, this one rubbed me the wrong way. My own adventures with diabetes started like this. I went to the ER because I felt like I was going to black out, and was told it was just a blood pressure issue. I told them my family had a history of diabetes, and that I had just had gestational diabetes, but I was told that disappears when the baby is born, so it can’t be that. So I get sent home with no tests. I take my own blood sugar, and it’s in the 400s. I go back to the ER because again, I feel like I’m going to black out, and the admitting nurse is super pissed at me for checking my blood sugar! Why did you check your blood sugar!? You need to go see your doctor, not doing this yourself! A nice doctor on rotation said I was right, the situation was serious, and if I had any insulin at home and knew how to use it, get started, and then make a doctor’s appointment.

30. Is there a cure for that? Is it contagious??😮

31. ​@@ladysilverwynde there is no cure for lactose intolerance, and taken in the right dose, does alleviate all symptoms of lactose intolerance.
    However, eating any amount of high fat, high sugar dairy at 2am can cause digestive issues, idc who you are

32. That way it is closer to breakfast 😂.

33. What?

34. That nerve of theirs is actually impressive

35. I get mine done a little early, at 1 AM. But then I need to go for another round ay 9 before I sleep.

36. Why didn’t you call your primary care doctor instead??!!! Misuse of an emergency room.

37. @@ratboygirly iq is at least 3 (idk my iq cos I’ve never cared enough to check)

    Can’t be high if I forgot the close bracket 😅

38. What did they expect you to do?

39. @@osmos2017 – You can’t have a primary care physician. If by chance you do, give ‘em a call right now. The message always goes, “If you’re having a medical emergency, hang up and call 9-1-1…”. Because what are they going to do if she’d fallen out somewhere and hadn’t said where she was?

    Feeling as though you’re going to blackout is the definition of a medical emergency. She was not a diagnosed T2 diabetic outside of when pregnant, might not have had any remaining diabetic tools after the pregnancy to check her blood sugar, and was turned away by the ER. None of that is misusing the ER! Her blood sugar was so high she could have blacked out behind the wheel, went into a full diabetic coma, had problems with her eyes, extremities, and organs. Or just died if left untreated.

    I was so bad off once, before I knew I was T2 , that I woke up and my eyes couldn’t focus, my hands were shaking, and my heart felt as though it was pounding out of my chest. I just knew I was dying but was too weak to move. I think I passed out, and just remembered hoping I’d feel even a little better soon and could move to get help. My a1C was 13 when I finally got checked, with levels well over 350-700 until I was able to get it under control.

40. To be fair, that would (hopefully) be the least busy time to go to the ER. Still going to be an expensive bill, whether you have it or not.

41. Yeah this seems weird, an opportunity for education at the least. Doesn’t it start out as insulin resistance and turn into type 2?

    They should do something

42. I brought up my concerns to the PCP i had years ago and he laughed at me but okd a glucometer, turns out I’ve been prediabetic since early 2000s

43. I watched this video at exactly 2 in the morning…

44. Me too, I found out I was type 2 by going to the ER. I had the same symptoms after eating something. Blood glucose was almost 400. I told them that I had a history of gestational diabetes 15 years ago and they should check my sugar levels. Had I not done that I could have died. A1c was 12.4.

45. If you have doubts on any illness you get yourself checked out, don’t worry about inconveniencing a doctor.

46. Had a patient come to the ER in the middle of the night because they wanted to know what their blood type is 😅

47. My wife had someone come in ‘needing to know if she was pregnant’ because she’d JUST had sex with her boyfriend. Like in the car. She really, really wanted to be pregnant, but unfortunately, even the most sensitive tests can’t tell immediately when you’ve conceived. MAJOR disappointment when she was told to wait at least 10 days or till after she missed a period.

48. Like a normal person

49. Anxiety disorders won’t let you sleep until you have an answer.

50. Then you got people like my Aunt who felt odd and in pain so she went to her doctor later that day, the doctor checked her out and said that she needed to get to emergency. Rather than waiting for the ambulance she walked out of the clinic, went home and had a sandwich, then casually drove to the ER where the doctors were losing their mind waiting for her….. because she was having a major heart attack! 😵😆

51. Lactose intolerence isn’t real.

52. Probably important to know but not a emergency

53. ​@@jmgirard7 exactly😂

54. Purely for the comedy value?

55. That’s Type 3 diabetes.

56. You get used to it after the next few (hundred) times. I only just got used to them. They get more violent every time. Help.

57. Ok but an ER at 2am is not the place to get checked out for non emergent situations. I absolutely agree if you’re concerned about an illness get evaluated. But don’t go to the ER unless it’s an actual emergency

58. Yopr aunt must be Polish. That is such a typical Polish thing to do. The thinking is, “If can stand, walk, & talk, it’s not a crisis and can wait.”

59. @@arden6025 Ice cream is so worth it though.

60. That was my thought. ‘ice cream’ – is that what they’re calling it now? 😅

61. ​@kkat9097 My cousin didn’t know he was diabetic until he “felt weird”. His blood sugar was over 300 and still climbing.

62. As someone with anxiety, do not omit that piece of information when going to the ER. This person did not say that, so he could just be as clueless as he was portrayed. If you have anxiety, when they say “aaaand” you go like “and I have anxiety, so even if I know it’s not logical nor likely that I have diabetes, I need help”. In that situation they have to help you, whether that involves any blood exam to calm you, or just the psychiatrist on call. Never had this particular issue for diabetes, so idk which one they’d pick, but if your healthcare is good, they’ll know what to do

63. ​@@quinnfaith3981That’s good of you to post that info. You never know how many people you may have helped. Cheers, and best wishes!

64. Not going to get the answer after eating anyway, what you will get is a huge ER bill. Better to learn self soothing and coping skills to get control over your anxiety, dont let it own you its not your identity only one aspect of you. And before you say it, yes i have anxiety DX.

65. @@benwagner5089less busy but night crews are notoriously shorter staffed. Wait times end up always being the same as a day time visit.

66. Yeah, you can just go to a 24 hour drug store, get a blood sugar test system, and skip the ER visit. If it’s high, talk to your primary care doctor about some more tests. But after eating a bunch of ice cream, everyone’s blood sugar is going to be high, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

67. Was just about to say this

68. As someone with severe health anxiety, I’ve been in the patient’s shoes. It’s a humiliating experience knowing you are acting ridiculous and most likely annoying the staff, nurses, docs, but the anxiety is so strong you feel so out of control and like a prisoner of your mind. Health anxiety episodes are some of the most painful moments of my life.

69. Well, that also saved her at least $5k for the ambulance

70. Where i go its not a choice. They 1st call the ambulance without your knowing. As you hear the sirens thinking “some poor person” they come in “we called 911 for you. Its your heart.”

71. Not in this economy 😂

72. The next time you have an hour wait to see the doctor, please know it’s this person making you wait

73. “Right this way sir we will check your blood sugar. Aaannnnnnmd that will be $5,000.”

74. Women do this a lot they feel a little off go lay down thinking I just need a minute then I’ll be OK….. & end up dying. My Dads Dr told this when my father was having the “ widow maker” heart attack. He said at least he didn’t wait like so many women do. I don’t kno what it feels like but I can’t hardly believe that A-LOT of women can stand that much discomfort & nt think something is wrong.😮

75. I did something very similar once 😅

76. What is the shakes?

77. Are you serious?does midnight snacks give you shakes ?

78. Did you tell them to go donate blood and they’ll tell you their blood type for free? 😅

79. That’s how I found out I’m A+. 😊

80. “Sir this is a Wendy’s” kind of vibe lmao

81. What is the shakes?

83. @@kkat9097 tbf going to the ER at 2 am would be better than going during the day when they’re swamped

84. Same here, and I am a nurse to boot. The interesting thing I have learned about myself is just how calm and rational I am when I am actually sick. It has helped me identify when my anxiety is trying to get the better of me.
    Also, a couple of doctors have been really kind to me when my anxiety was really bad.

85. So, are you on anti anxiety meds? If so, do you actually take them in situations like this?

86. Same here, I almost went to the er last week 🙁 it feels like I have no control over my life sometimes

87. I suffer from the same thing. My biggest anxiety is when my brain convinces me that I’m having a stroke to the point where I’m scratching and poking my left side just to remind my brain that it’s not numb. It’s one of the most debilitating things and it’s every single day

88. Have you asked your doctors if there is anything you can take for it? I get Panic Attacks sometimes and a low dose of Propranalol always helps. There are other meds as well, like Ativan. Then there is Progressive Relaxation Training, which is very useful. Oh, and Frequency Specific Micro Current! Has anybody here every used a journal to monitor what’s going on in their lives at the time these overwhelming anxiety periods takeover? Just a thought. Such journaling records of each day are very useful with managing many different health issues. I first learned to do this for my allergies, as I would periodically get a new allergy, but have no idea what was causing it. Journalling and the methodical elimination of different possible causes, turned out to be such a blessing. My best wishes to all here!

89. Only in america
