I have a light beer. 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Oh it's cold. It is very hot today, but I 9 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm cold natured, so I'm still worried like 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: a hoodie. Sure, yeah, yeah, which kind of relates to 11 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: a follow up I wanted to do about my recent 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: visit to the er. All right, let's talk. Okay. There 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: were a couple of points that I mentioned in passing 14 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and didn't really get into detail. All one is I 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: said something about like going as an ace person, and 16 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: I didn't really expound upon that, and I should have 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: because it wasn't that they were like, are you pregnant? 18 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: I understand that's a real question you need to ask, 19 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: right right, Like that's a that's a very important thing 20 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: to know, especially if you're gonna have X rays, which 21 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: I did. No, what I met was it's maybe it's 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: not even maybe. It was just me being in my 23 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: head because at that point I said, in the previous 24 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: episode we're talking about this, I had have to be 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: so one hundred percent sure before I go to the doctor, 26 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: and this is like the ultimate level of going to 27 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: the doctor. So I was having all these doubts in 28 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: my head about it, like should I have gone, should 29 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: I not have gone? All that stuff. It was more 30 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: about how they kept asking me you live alone, there's 31 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: no one for you, which I guess they were trying 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: to say, like no one could have driven you or 33 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: something else. I don't know. Again, I could be totally 34 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: misreading the situation, but so many, like of the people 35 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: I saw were like you live alone, this kind of tone, 36 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: and I wanted to be like, yeah, I don't understand. 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: That's she's sticking point for you. 38 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: You know. That Actually was a question that was asked 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: to me recently when I went to my physical therapy 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: evaluation and she asked, so, do. 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: You live alone? 42 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: I said no, I have a partner, but he's not 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: here right now. And she was like, oh, but you 44 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: don't live alone, like she majored. I'm like no. She's 45 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: like okay, great, great, great, And I was like wait, 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: what wait, what why what I mean, I understand if 47 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: we need to care for her, but I'm like, but 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: he's not there when I'm going through this, so I 49 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: don't know why this is. 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it was strange. It was strange how often 51 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: it got bought up. And I just got the impression 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: that they thought I was like the saddest possibly on 53 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: drugs patient, but because they were very quick to be like, oh, 54 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: this is stress. Do you live alone? Like all of 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: these things. Another thing that came up that I mentioned 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: very briefly but I've learned is something that's really happening 57 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: a lot right now is that I got a lot 58 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: of oh, you're too young, you're too young for that, 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: You're too young for this. And outside of just my 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: experience hearing that, I've heard that multiple times, I've heard 61 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: that throughout my life. I've recently learned independently of what 62 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: happened to me, there has been an increase in a 63 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: lot of cancers amongst younger people, and a lot of 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: times it'll be dismissed of, like oh you're too young. 65 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: And I do think will we run a classic about 66 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: self diagnosing, I think that's like tied up in it. 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: But there has been an increase of younger Americans, in 68 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: particularly women who you know, go in and they're like, 69 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, I have all these symptoms and like, oh, 70 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: you're too young, that's that can't be it. It just 71 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: happens sometimes, or it's just this, or it's just stress. 72 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: That's what a lot of people got and that's what 73 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: I got too. Oh, it's just stress. And then they 74 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: go multiple times over the years, and then unfortunately, finally 75 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: somebody's like, oh, no, you have cancer or something like 76 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: something very serious, and they're like, yeah, I've been I 77 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: knew something was wrong. I knew something was wrong, and 78 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: it's just kind of frustrating because I get it. I 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of friends who work in the medical industry, 80 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: and I've heard their complaints about people who come in 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: like all the time and are not honest with their symptoms. 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: I actually think I kind of hamstrung myself with how 83 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: honest I was being because I knew that, and so 84 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: I was trying to be so honest and I feel 85 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: like I kind of downplayed my symptoms. 86 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: Oh that's what I do. 87 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, because at first they kept asking about heart pain 88 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, it's more of a tightness but 89 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: it had been a pain earlier, but they didn't ask 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: about earlier. They just asked about then, and so I 91 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: was just trying to be like honest and be like, no, 92 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: right now, it's just a tightness. And I was really 93 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: and they gave me like the pain scale, and I 94 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, yeah, I can barely focus 95 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: right now. 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: That is so misleading because I always put lower numbers 97 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: in my head because I don't know. And then like 98 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: we've talked about like pain tolerance, like what what? Because 99 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: I was basing it without any like references. The pain 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: scale on mine was like, you know, at three, it's 101 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: mild pain, at nine, at eight, it's like moderate pain. Wait, 102 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: and that'd be that's a high number to me, but 103 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it was definitely. So I would always 104 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: put myself at five, six, seven, because I didn't want 105 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: to be like, you know, it's not awful. But then 106 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: like the on the scale says nine you can't sleep. 107 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, I was there, but I 108 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: wouldn't have described that's nine because it was bad. I 109 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: hated it, but it wasn't the worst thing that I've 110 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: ever gone through. So I was like, how's that a nine. 111 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: So in my mind it was a seven because yes, 112 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: it's it's not working. Someone needs to redo this, revamp this. 113 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: I agree, I do the same thing. I'm like, it 114 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: sounds wild to me to be like, oh, yeah, it's 115 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: a nine unless I'm on the verge of the most painful. 116 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: Death exactly, like nine is almost death and ten is dead. 117 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: But painful death. So I was they were asking me 118 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: and I didn't even have the scale in front of me. 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, right, why are you 120 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: asking me these questions? 121 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: These are so like internative. 122 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: Right right, And I know that's that's difficult. People are. 123 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: They do experience pain differently, so it is tricky. But 124 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: I just felt like at that moment, that was not 125 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: what I needed to see or hear. I just but 126 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: it was also one of those things where, yeah, I'm stressed. 127 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: I have been stressed. I think a lot of us 128 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: are stressed. But I think within the first like five 129 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: minutes when I got in the hospital, that I could 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: stress before they'd done anything else. And it was just 131 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: sort of like it was frustrated. It was downhearted because 132 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: I'd finally taken like a move and I thought I 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: was about to die and I did something about it, 134 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: and here they are like, yeah, you're too young, you're 135 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: too young. Okay, well great, can't wait to get the 136 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: bill for that. And that being said, I really get it, 137 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: I really do. Everybody was really nice, and they had 138 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: just installed a new system, so it was kind of 139 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: chaotic were fighting about because somebody was like, oh, she's 140 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: too young for that, and the guy was like, did 141 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: you see what I saw? 142 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: Did well? 143 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think that that whole kind 144 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: of dismissal. We probably shouldn't do that. I get that, 145 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: like maybe statistics would indicate, but they're changing clearly obviously. 146 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: So I'm also not that young. I'm young, but I 147 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: got that right anyway. I just wanted to clarify those 148 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: those points as I still work through this whole experience, 149 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: as I'm still navigating it, because I haven't been still 150 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: the doctor and embarrassing in a long time too, so 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: it's I think I'm like kind of still in not shock, 152 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: but oh yeah, that's what it was like. Because I 153 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of doctors when I was young be like, oh, 154 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: that can't be right. 155 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: Right. 156 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: A week later, I'm in a hospital and I'm like, oh, Yeah, 157 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: turns out that's about right. That's about right. Okay, so 158 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: more health updates and I'm sure Read and Samantha will 159 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: be back again with more. Oh, I didn't even mention. 160 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: There's a whole thing about on the other end of 161 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: doctors being told they're too younger all the time. So 162 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: I do want to mention that I believe that, I 163 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: think that's probably a thing. So if you have any 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: experiences with that on either side, please write in and 165 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: let us know.
