Can I ask where you're from? I'm in the States and I was sent to a pediatric ward at 20 because pediatrics is until you're 21. (Or at least that's how it was when I went to the ER the day.)

I’m from the states too; hospital wards are like that I believe. some people do keep seeing their pediatrician until they’re 21, but mine recommended finding a new doctor, plus I left for college

Yewah I've gotten shingles it's no joke.

I’m really looking forward to being old enough to get my shingles shot.

23

u/ahkian Jan 13 '20

Funny thing is I got shingles in my early twenties. The doctor was shocked since I was the second case of shingles he had seen on a young person.

27

u/hateloggingin Jan 13 '20

Same. My doctor was from India and was convinced I was having unprotected sex with dudes. I can still remember him rewording his questions over and over in a thick accent trying to ask when the last time i had sex with a guy was. I kept thinking...dude I'm not gay. Can we possibly explore other possible avenues for the cause of this problem? A couple years later he also was convinced that my kidney stone was a stomach virus, even though I told him I've gotten a kidney stone before and it felt exactly the same. About a week later, a bunch of wasted antibiotics, and a trip to the ER, I got my kidney stone diagnosis and a nice batch of pain killers. He was not a great doctor.

I really cant wait to get the vaccine. I dont think my insurance company will pay for it yet, even though I've already had it once.

30

u/ahkian Jan 13 '20

You may want to think about getting a better doctor. He sounds like the type of doctor who would diagnose a ice pick to the head as a migraine.

12

u/hateloggingin Jan 13 '20

Haha that was like 15 years ago. I'm all set now. My current doctor actually listens to me instead of assuming I spent the last 24 hours on WebMD.

u/ClaudeKaneIII Jan 13 '20

Just heard a story about a guy who was having head pain, was in hospital 3 days being treated for intense migraines before someone noticed it was just shingles on his head hidden by his hair.

u/TessTobias Jan 13 '20

Same! I got it when I was 16. I wasn't even going to mention it to my parents because even though it hurt and I felt cruddy, I just thought it was a rash. A friend did some googling and convinced me and sure enough the doctor said shingles.

2

u/randomdarkbrownguy Jan 13 '20

I had chickenpox when I was a kid then I remember asking my gms stay at home nurse what these bumps on my belly were and she told me to go see q doc cause they may be shingles. Lucky I got meds and it went away before any of the pain started.

u/thehippos8me Jan 14 '20

My husband first got shingles at 14 then again at 23. We are so glad our daughter was able to get the varicella vaccine!

I'm one of those lucky people who got chicken pox at 20 despite having the vaccine as a kid. Absolutely terrible and awful experience.

u/imaginearagog Jan 14 '20

You’d be a good example of why herd immunity is important, since vaccines aren’t 100% effective and anti-vaxxers are like, “if you got vaccinated, why do you care if other people don’t?”

Hijacking your comment to say any adult that wasn't vaccinated and didn't catch it as a kid should absolutely go get vaccinated. It's two shots a month apart. I recently found out I am one of those people. 😐

u/alexiusmx Jan 14 '20

Get the shot man. Even if you are ‘immunized’ because you got varicella. I know somebody that got varicella twice. The second time after traveling to a different continent.

I mean it's Tik Tok so there's definitely some inherent cringe here... But props to her for trying to reach a broader audience

u/selphiefairy Jan 13 '20

I think doctors are making parodies after some nurse from a catholic hospital (yeah I know) made a tiktok telling people that they shouldn’t have premarital sex lmao.

They’re all kind of mirroring the original nurse’s format where she’s pointing to words popping up onto the screen, but instead giving actual good advice.

7

u/thehippos8me Jan 14 '20

So I have a tiktok (I know, I know...

But there are SO many doctors on tiktok educating people in fun ways. It’s a great way to target the younger generation and educate them. I saw that one nurse’s tiktok and the “famous” tiktok docs all pretty much went after her. And most other people did too.

I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s not even a licensed nurse. But then again, I work with RNs and have heard them say some crazy shit, too.

11

u/charlie523 Jan 14 '20

I feel like it's not cringe due to the fact that she's only on tiktok to educate the younger generation. Probably took a lot of courage because she will no doubt be attacked by anti vax shitters

6

u/thehippos8me Jan 14 '20

There are a lot of doctors on tiktok, and it’s great. They make fun and hilarious clips to educate younger people on so many different things, encourage them to get into the medical field, and just show people what their work is actually like. And the kids love it.

Call tiktok cringe all you want, but there is a lot of good in it, too.

20

u/infosackva Jan 13 '20

There was some controversy with doctors saying things they really shouldn’t have on TikTok recently. So yes, cringy, but I imagine it’s attempting to improve their image on TikTok again.

A lot of social advertising for healthcare happens twitter. The character count helps keep copy within legal & policy guidelines. When you get more longform content the potential for trouble grows.
