These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting.

Just want to echo advocating for yourself. I diagnosed myself with acute appendicitis and drove myself to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning a few years back. I was told I was not exhibiting enough pain for it to be a big deal, even though i checked all the other physical exam boxes for acute appendicitis. I told them i have a high pain tolerance from dealing with chronic pain for decades and I fought to get a CT scan. When i was back in my room immediately after the scan talking to nurses and heard someone running down the hallway. It was my physician. I had acute appendicitis and they were scared that bursting was imminent. I was in the OR in like 15 minutes. Had I listened to the white coats I would be dead and my children would no longer have their father. Just because they have MD by their name and a white coat doesn't make them infallible.

Really cool to see chubby’s old weightlifting videos, his dad exercising with him, and put a face on a patient.
Probably my favorite episode.

[Reneator]

seeing the real patient gave me chills. Huge difference seeinng the actual person.

Keep it up!

One of my college professors was an elderly blind man with an assistant. He told us on the first day to keep an eye on your blood pressure, especially if you lift heavy things. Apparently, he was a body builder decades ago and destroyed his eyes when the vessels all burst at the same time, making him blind.

Paramedic here. Don't let EMS elicit a refusal. There are lots of things we can assess for and treat, but there are also a lot of things we can't do. Yeah, a 28 year old is not likely to have a heart attack. Most EMS systems can't do tests to completely rule that out. More crucially, a 28 year old shouldn't be having unexplainable chest pain either! Get that checked out!

I was an EMT for 7 years. The crew that convinced him he didn’t have to go to the ER were exactly the type of coworkers I left EMS because of. I witnessed so many EMS personnel gaslight, invalidate and even falsify patient vitals, just to avoid doing more work. Left such a bad taste in my mouth. Always felt like my coworkers had forgotten that they were dealing with peoples’ lives. I feel so unbelievably infuriated hearing about this story, and how this guy could have gotten sooner treatment if he just hadn’t been invalidated by the EMS crew that responded to his call.

To go from "a recovery" to an actual testimony of the patient and their story from that point on was amazing

26 year old into heavy weightlifting. and yes, caffeine. this was definitely a good wake up call to keep my caffeine tolerance in check. Only in moderation. thank you so much for the inspiring story, much respect for luis for pushing through and sharing his story with the world 💪

Almost died once myself from food posioning. When I called the ambulance I told them what was going on. They told me to go and sleep it off. I insisted they take me to the hospital. They told the nurse I wasnt all that bad off. When the nurse did get to me she immediately put me in a room. I had two ivs put in for fluid intake and was given a large dose of morphine because I was in a lot of pain because my kidneys were shutting down and other organs were feeling it. I was in the hospital for a week. In the end no permanent damage done byt my doctor told me had I gone home by morning I would have been either in a coma or dead. Glad I stuck up for myself.

How great is it to see the patient alive and doing so well.

[midnightsnow]

You have no idea how happy I am to see Luis has not only survived this ordeal but is THRIVING! Good luck on your future studies, Luis!

[niallmackenzie]

How beautiful hearing from the patient himself. Thank you for this Chubbyemu, this made my day👍❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[notbill]

I really like when the actual patient comes on and speaks. It adds emotional impact to the case.

[TheLad]

Your dad looks like the coolest grandpa you could ever wish for

[darkstarr]

Omg, thank you Luis. I always deeply appreciated the nurses who have chronic illnesses especially. There was a unique level of connection I found as someone who had only recently been diagnosed with a severe condition, and it’s so sad what happened. I am so grateful you’re here and keep going.

[livelystones]

🙌🏾🙌🏾 🎉 It’s made me really emotional to see Louis at the end. I’m so happy that he survived and is progressing well in life. Thank you Chubbyemu for your compassionate life-lesson style of storytelling. I love seeing your father as well. Be well!! ❤️

In my medical school, they say Aortic dissection is almost a "death sentence". I am so happy LF pulled through. Those doctors that saved him were really talented professionals.

[larissam]

I am a type A aortic dissection survivor and nurse. I had my dissection at age 27. Thank you for bringing awareness to aortic dissection❤

[triv]

Powerful episode...and yet another reminder that moderation is key in all things. It was cool af to see the actual patient and hear the lessons learned straight from his mouth. Best of luck in medical school ♥

[BlkBlazin]

Much love to LF. Very Happy you are still here with us!
