WEBVTT - Hypochondriac 

0:00:00.090 --> 0:00:04.710
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're talking hypochondriacs here. Are you a hypochondriac, Anna?

0:00:05.170 --> 0:00:08.070
<v Speaker 2>I am, and I just say to peanut M &amp; M, sorry.

0:00:08.350 --> 0:00:11.410
<v Speaker 1>That's all right. You don't have a peanut allergy, do you? No,

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:12.709
<v Speaker 1>I don't, thank God. That's Bianca.

0:00:13.020 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm the type of hypochondriac that doesn't like being,

0:00:15.740 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know exactly the definition of this word. I

0:00:18.820 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>don't like being around people that are sick because I'm

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.060
<v Speaker 2>very afraid of being sick myself.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:23.340
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.540
<v Speaker 2>My friend, however, that I'm going to be talking about,

0:00:27.290 --> 0:00:29.790
<v Speaker 2>They are the type of person that whenever they feel

0:00:29.990 --> 0:00:33.830
<v Speaker 2>the littlest amount of sickness, they are running to the hospital.

0:00:34.610 --> 0:00:37.089
<v Speaker 2>And last night I was waking up at like my

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.100
<v Speaker 2>alarm went off at 345. I'm getting texts from him.

0:00:40.140 --> 0:00:43.100
<v Speaker 2>This is my GBFF. He's like, I'm in the hospital.

0:00:43.700 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 2>My throat was hurting. I couldn't sleep. There's a huge weight.

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, why are you at the hospital for a

0:00:49.270 --> 0:00:49.780
<v Speaker 2>sore throat?

0:00:49.970 --> 0:00:50.510
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:00:50.770 --> 0:00:52.010
<v Speaker 1>Like this is the problem.

0:00:52.340 --> 0:00:54.540
<v Speaker 2>Like you should not be running to the hospital for

0:00:54.820 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the minor inconvenience. But I feel like it's a delicate

0:00:57.660 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>balance of if you are sick, yes, you should probably

0:01:00.500 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>go be seen and make sure you're fine. But he

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 2>is literally at the hospital at least once a week

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.699
<v Speaker 2>getting insane tests done, like hooked up to wires to

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.459
<v Speaker 2>check his breathing and his lungs. And I just think

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:13.660
<v Speaker 2>that's a little overboard.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 5>Wait, what is that called when you when you always

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:17.860
<v Speaker 5>think you're sick?

0:01:18.670 --> 0:01:23.030
<v Speaker 1>Uh, you, uh, well, I would think that, yeah, no,

0:01:23.050 --> 0:01:23.410
<v Speaker 1>I thought.

0:01:23.290 --> 0:01:25.170
<v Speaker 5>There was a name for somebody who, well.

0:01:25.190 --> 0:01:29.810
<v Speaker 1>When somebody tries to make you think that you're always sick, you're, yeah,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.020
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But I, I, I will tell you

0:01:32.060 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that there are situations where you will, you know, say,

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.340
<v Speaker 1>I'm not feeling good, whatever. Like you were not sick

0:01:39.459 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>or not well, like a week ago, but I didn't

0:01:41.220 --> 0:01:44.100
<v Speaker 1>go to the doctor. That entire day. All I kept

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.380
<v Speaker 1>thinking to myself was, I'm going to get sick. Not

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.140
<v Speaker 1>that I was sick, but I'm going to get sick.

0:01:48.380 --> 0:01:48.740
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:49.919
<v Speaker 1>So I automatically start thinking.

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:50.340
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:50.380 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>But I'm talking to the people that you're going, you're

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:54.410
<v Speaker 2>doing too much.

0:01:54.500 --> 0:01:55.710
<v Speaker 1>Well, two things for him.

0:01:56.070 --> 0:01:59.870
<v Speaker 5>His, he has to be paying crazy amounts of medical

0:01:59.890 --> 0:02:03.530
<v Speaker 5>bills because going to the hospital is not, is not cheap,

0:02:03.570 --> 0:02:05.990
<v Speaker 5>especially when you're going to the emergency room. And of

0:02:06.030 --> 0:02:09.060
<v Speaker 5>course he's going to sit there because they, not necessarily

0:02:09.070 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 5>that they rank you, but they kind of do.

0:02:10.820 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Like that is not an emergency. That's not an emergency

0:02:13.900 --> 0:02:14.540
<v Speaker 5>to have a sore throat.

0:02:14.580 --> 0:02:16.020
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:16.139
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 1>So 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548. Does this happen to you? Are you

0:02:24.860 --> 0:02:27.700
<v Speaker 1>one of those people that is like Anna's friend?

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I also know people who don't go to the doctor

0:02:30.210 --> 0:02:32.669
<v Speaker 2>at all. They hate it. See, I don't think that's

0:02:32.690 --> 0:02:34.030
<v Speaker 2>right either. I think you have to be somewhere in

0:02:34.050 --> 0:02:34.390
<v Speaker 2>the middle.

0:02:34.930 --> 0:02:35.650
<v Speaker 1>Valerie, what's up?

0:02:37.330 --> 0:02:37.690
<v Speaker 4>Hi.

0:02:37.889 --> 0:02:41.829
<v Speaker 3>So I work in insurance, not for a specific carrier,

0:02:41.889 --> 0:02:44.950
<v Speaker 3>but for... a broker and we have a lot of

0:02:45.090 --> 0:02:49.670
<v Speaker 3>clients who receive reports about their employees and he's going

0:02:49.690 --> 0:02:53.029
<v Speaker 3>to end up on somebody's list of high utilization for

0:02:53.050 --> 0:02:55.610
<v Speaker 3>the ER when it's not a true emergent issue.

0:02:55.870 --> 0:02:59.970
<v Speaker 1>Are you serious? Like, wait, like our company knows if

0:03:00.010 --> 0:03:03.270
<v Speaker 1>we go to the doctor a lot. Yeah.

0:03:03.310 --> 0:03:05.940
<v Speaker 3>So they get a list of high utilizers and they,

0:03:06.550 --> 0:03:09.230
<v Speaker 3>If it gets to be bad, some companies will actually

0:03:09.690 --> 0:03:12.860
<v Speaker 3>change the policy. So if you go for a non-emergent issue,

0:03:13.340 --> 0:03:15.020
<v Speaker 3>you're going to have to pay for that.

0:03:15.300 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:03:17.340 --> 0:03:17.410
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:03:17.620 --> 0:03:20.500
<v Speaker 3>Clearly, we want you to go for heart attacks and

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 3>things like that, but for a sore throat. You should

0:03:23.139 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 3>be calling telehealth. You should be going to urgent care.

0:03:26.380 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 5>Henry Ford video visit on demand. Sit on your kitchen.

0:03:30.580 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Table and do it.

0:03:31.660 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>This is your GBF, right? Your best friend. Do we

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>know why he felt like he had a sore throat?

0:03:36.700 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Because maybe the reason.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.740
<v Speaker 2>He said he was coughing and he thought he might

0:03:40.780 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>have saw a little blood in what he was coughing.

0:03:42.910 --> 0:03:45.370
<v Speaker 1>Where are you from? Okay, so that's different than a

0:03:45.410 --> 0:03:45.930
<v Speaker 1>sore throat.

0:03:46.290 --> 0:03:49.650
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but like he was fine. They sent him home.

0:03:50.690 --> 0:03:54.950
<v Speaker 1>A little bit of blood going on there, huh? Are

0:03:55.010 --> 0:04:00.930
<v Speaker 1>you okay? Who's he hanging out with? By the way,

0:04:00.970 --> 0:04:02.790
<v Speaker 1>this is hippo laws. You're not allowed to talk about

0:04:02.830 --> 0:04:04.570
<v Speaker 1>his blood. What's going on, Renia?

0:04:04.610 --> 0:04:04.950
<v Speaker 5>Hi.

0:04:04.970 --> 0:04:08.690
<v Speaker 6>Hi, and I feel like you have to be a

0:04:08.770 --> 0:04:11.710
<v Speaker 6>little sympathetic because he might have health anxiety.

0:04:12.230 --> 0:04:13.869
<v Speaker 2>He definitely has anxiety.

0:04:14.090 --> 0:04:15.950
<v Speaker 6>I used to have health anxiety. And if you have

0:04:15.990 --> 0:04:18.830
<v Speaker 6>health anxiety, you think any little symptom means that you're dying.

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.820
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's him.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.530
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of understandable for him to go to the

0:04:23.589 --> 0:04:27.350
<v Speaker 6>hospital he probably needs some help with that but like

0:04:27.450 --> 0:04:29.589
<v Speaker 6>i definitely used to do the same thing like any

0:04:29.710 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 6>minor inconvenience i would freak out and i i they

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.820
<v Speaker 6>knew me by name at urgent care like that's.

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.180
<v Speaker 1>How that uh that's funny you go here she is

0:04:39.220 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>again ranaya's here again uh what's going on kimberly Good morning, guys.

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:45.940
<v Speaker 5>Hi.

0:04:46.580 --> 0:04:48.870
<v Speaker 3>So, Anna, you mentioned that you don't like being around

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.550
<v Speaker 3>sick people because you don't want to get sick yourself.

0:04:51.790 --> 0:04:54.050
<v Speaker 1>But didn't you go on that bachelorette trip while you

0:04:54.089 --> 0:04:55.310
<v Speaker 1>were sick? I did.

0:04:55.470 --> 0:04:59.409
<v Speaker 2>And I was healed of my illness prior to going.

0:04:59.450 --> 0:05:03.130
<v Speaker 1>You were. Come on. As she says with a wink

0:05:03.190 --> 0:05:05.570
<v Speaker 1>and a smile. By the way, it's giving you a

0:05:05.570 --> 0:05:08.530
<v Speaker 1>hard time. I do hate when our listeners listen more

0:05:08.570 --> 0:05:10.710
<v Speaker 1>intently than we do, which is probably 99.9% of the time.

0:05:12.710 --> 0:05:17.620
<v Speaker 1>That you do. What's up, Robbie? How you doing? Good morning, Mojo.

0:05:17.660 --> 0:05:19.620
<v Speaker 4>First time, long time.

0:05:19.820 --> 0:05:23.500
<v Speaker 1>Good morning.

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 4>No longer a Mojo in the morning version, right?

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.260
<v Speaker 1>You've lost it today.

0:05:27.540 --> 0:05:27.820
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Good morning to everyone. I was saying that this goes

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:38.300
<v Speaker 4>beyond being sick too much or even not going. This

0:05:38.500 --> 0:05:41.700
<v Speaker 4>is more of a mental health issue or can become one.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:47.250
<v Speaker 4>When you are seeking, you know, thriving for attention or

0:05:47.270 --> 0:05:53.070
<v Speaker 4>attention seeking and always wanting something, someone to be concerned

0:05:53.230 --> 0:05:56.219
<v Speaker 4>or that it goes beyond being a hypochondriac. Really?

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.900
<v Speaker 1>So you think that it's that level? You think it

0:05:58.940 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>could be that level?

0:05:59.500 --> 0:06:01.380
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say it, but he loves attention.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.820
<v Speaker 5>Does he post a photo when he's in the hospital?

0:06:06.140 --> 0:06:07.110
<v Speaker 1>On social media.

0:06:07.150 --> 0:06:09.270
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that all the time. He'll definitely send me a

0:06:09.310 --> 0:06:09.779
<v Speaker 2>picture of it.

0:06:09.790 --> 0:06:10.370
<v Speaker 1>A little wrist.

0:06:10.770 --> 0:06:11.609
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:11.650 --> 0:06:12.430
<v Speaker 6>He's sending it.

0:06:12.330 --> 0:06:13.210
<v Speaker 2>To the group chat.

0:06:13.230 --> 0:06:14.430
<v Speaker 1>We're like, oh, where is he?

0:06:14.790 --> 0:06:15.730
<v Speaker 2>What's he doing now?

0:06:15.750 --> 0:06:17.990
<v Speaker 5>That's my favorite when people post a photo of their

0:06:18.070 --> 0:06:18.990
<v Speaker 5>hospital bracelet.

0:06:19.270 --> 0:06:22.190
<v Speaker 1>I've done it. I can't. I've done it before. That

0:06:22.270 --> 0:06:23.850
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting take on that, Robert. Like, it looks

0:06:23.870 --> 0:06:27.180
<v Speaker 1>like he's in your face, miserable. What's up, Maria? Praise

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:27.420
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:06:28.930 --> 0:06:29.390
<v Speaker 6>Hi.

0:06:29.910 --> 0:06:33.190
<v Speaker 4>I just wanted to tell Anna, it's not being a hypochondriac.

0:06:33.330 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 3>It's misophobia, which is kind of also commonly called germophobia.

0:06:39.500 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 3>But there's like different levels. I mean, people can take

0:06:42.500 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 3>it to the extremes with their fears. But there's like

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 3>fear of vermin, fear of bacteria, fear of contamination.

0:06:51.339 --> 0:06:55.339
<v Speaker 1>But like the most commonly one is germophobia. My buddy

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.740
<v Speaker 1>had blood in his throat. No, very. That's like a...

0:06:58.380 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he should have went, too.

0:06:59.420 --> 0:06:59.580
<v Speaker 6>Hold on.

0:07:00.060 --> 0:07:02.299
<v Speaker 1>He could have had a bloody nose and cough. Raphael

0:07:02.339 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>thinks that Kevin's sick. What's going on, Raphael?

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Kev, it sounds like you need an emergency room

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 3>visit with that last man.

0:07:10.140 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>You're giving some Smokey Jackie vibes, dog.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 6>Hey, bro.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.230
<v Speaker 1>The stuff that be going on in my brain, man.

0:07:16.250 --> 0:07:18.790
<v Speaker 1>That was one of them moments. That was one of

0:07:18.810 --> 0:07:19.250
<v Speaker 1>them moments.

0:07:19.270 --> 0:07:19.570
<v Speaker 3>It burns.

0:07:22.580 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. That was a different type of laugh.

0:07:24.900 --> 0:07:26.190
<v Speaker 2>He was hanging out with my friend.

0:07:26.210 --> 0:07:26.670
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy.
