Reddit Is The Best Medicine | Reading Reddit Stories
- Hello and welcome to "Smosh Reads Reddit Stories.". I'm Shayne, and today's theme is medical stories. This is to help promote our live show that we just did, "Smosh Hospital,". which you can still check out the VOD for. if you go to live.smosh.com. We're filming this before we do the show, but (chuckles) I'm telling you, we've been working on it for a long time. I think the show was pretty good, so you're gonna wanna check it out. But this episode today,
I'm joined by two people who know everything about medicine, Trevor and Ian. - I've been to the doctor. - Obviously before we get into this, if anything medically related is triggering for you, this might not be your episode. But I will say, apparently it's not gonna get too gory, too intense. These are just medical-related stories. Wow. This first one's awesome. - Starting strong. Here we go. - This comes from a subreddit AskDocs,
a subreddit where people can ask medical questions, and all flaired medical professionals. are verified by moderators. - Oh. - So the responses. are from legitimate healthcare professionals. This is awesome. Someone titled this post, "I shit so hard, I can smell again.". (Trevor laughing). - Wow. - Dude. - "I can smell again." - Again. - This was posted in May of 2022. So I'm guessing this person got COVID, lost their sense of smell maybe,
and then- - Yeah, I don't know. - Shit really hard. - Look, I have a sense of smell, but I wish I could experience this. - Yeah, that's like, gotta be, that, I mean, I've had some stinky poops. I think we all have. - Okay. - But pooping so stinky-. - I don't think it's a stinky-. - Do you think it's stinky, or is that he shit hard? - I think it's-. - Do you think- - Oh, it's the physical-. - It's the physical release. - I was thinking maybe it was like the smell, like, literally so overpowering- - So bad. - That his brain, like, figured it out. - It's like smelling salt. - Yeah, no, literally.
I was like, it opened up his-. - I was thinking it was like a physical release. - That makes more sense. - Which sounds awesome. - That makes more sense. - Let's see. - Yeah, sure, let's see. - Was it force or was it smell? - Vote now in the comments. (Trevor laughing). - "So the craziest thing happened. and I'm wondering if I should seek medical attention. Today I woke up and nature called as usual. I made my way over to the bathroom and did my business. Now, I'm not sure what happened exactly, if I pushed too hard or what, but something in my head popped.
It was in the back of my head. at the apex of the back of the skull. This is the part that scared me. I had intense pain, really intense pain in the back of my head. I get cluster headaches and migraines from time to time. But this was not a headache. This was just an intense pain in the back of my head. I am a cancer survivor, Ewing sarcoma. That is a cancer that forms in your bones. or in nearby soft tissue. And I have dealt with level 10 pain.
This was easily an eight or a nine on my pain scale. So I went back to my bed, and my girlfriend saw how much pain I was in. She brought Advil and the pain went down to a dull roar. for about six hours and is now more or less gone. But the crazy thing that happened is when I got out of bed, I just started sniffling. and then a large amount of mucus. just came out of both nostrils, the most I have ever seen in my life. Now, I have had almost no sense of smell. for quite a long time. I was always congested and could not smell anything.
Antihistamines did nothing. After this event, I can smell perfectly again. I am smelling things I haven't smelled in forever. and getting very nostalgic. I'm honestly so worried. something is gonna build up and take my smell away again. But even if it does, today has just been the best day in a long time. I'm in no pain right now, but I'm wondering if I should seek medical attention. I'm also wondering if this will stop my snoring. I guess I'll find out tonight. Honestly, this is such a ridiculous story. and I'm not even ashamed of it.
I wanna tell everyone.". They write, "Ha ha ha ha ha.". "Has (Trevor laughing). anything like this happened to anyone else? TLDR, I took a shit, popped my head, became a booger faucet, then regained my sense of smell.". - That's- - As one does. - Okay, I don't think the shit had anything to do, I don't think the shit and the pop. had anything to do with like, this, like, sudden, like, sinus evacuation.
- But he said he was in massive pain for like six hours. - Yeah. - Like, so something, but it was the back of his head, which shouldn't be related to-. - Sinus. - Sinus. - But, I mean, you never know, 'cause I guess, like, pressure can build in weird ways. I mean, our sinuses are like, so, like, messed up. - Yeah. - That-. - Maybe his brain got confused. between anus and sinus and just kind of was like, "Let's clear 'em both out.". - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Evacuate both. - Right. - It was actually,
the mucus was actually a living thing up there. And when he pooped so hard, it, like, just got jostled around and had to evacuate. - Yeah. - That's probably. what happened. - That's probably. what happened. - Yeah. - Well, either way it seems to me, in my non-professional opinion, he did whatever he needed to do. - Yeah, that was just. the body correcting itself. - He took care of business. Yeah. - That's crazy. But like, to be in that much pain for that long-. - I, if I'm ever pooping and my head starts to hurt. at like a level nine on a pain scale,
I think I'm just dying. - Yeah. - Like, I don't, like, I don't know how I come back. I literally would be like, I think it might be my time to go. I might be meeting my maker today. - Have either of you ever dealt with, like, a symptom or pain that then just, like, went away in an instant at some point? - Yeah. No, I think, I don't know. Does this happen to anyone else? Because I feel like in my life, anytime I have a weird medical thing, I just assume that like, yeah, this is probably a normal thing that happens to people. But just getting like a really sharp pain.
at like a random point in your body and having it, and then you're just like, oh, why does my forearm hurt like this all of a sudden? And then it just goes away. Is that not like a cramp? Like a- - But it's not like a, it's like a sharp pain. It's not like a soreness like muscle pain. It's like, I just feel like this almost, like, sharp, like someone is, like, poking a needle into my arm and I'm like, ah, and then it goes away. - Interesting. - Interesting. - I don't know. I'm getting some nods. - But a lot of people nodded. - Yeah. - It's just. your growing pains, 'cause you're still a growing boy.
- I'm still a widdle guy. - You're still getting taller. I, one time a few years ago in the pandemic, when I was just, like, home one day, I was working out and I think I was doing like lunges. and suddenly, like, something in my knee kinda like, felt like, it felt like something was out of place. And it hurt really bad and it kind of like was messed up, like, all day or for like a couple days. And I was like, damn, and I was like hobbling around, and suddenly at one point, like, I just kind of, for some reason I bent my leg and it was just kind of like, tch, and it was fine. - Yeah. - Wow. - I was like, it just kinda like snapped back into place, and I was like, oh, and I'm fully good again.
- Yeah. - Wow. Okay. And I was like, that's amazing. All right. I thought, I don't know, it wasn't like horrible pain. It was just kind of like, oh, like something's off. Like I couldn't, I was having trouble. And then it just clicked back into place. - I feel that way, like, when you got like a little headache. and then you just like pop a little ibuprofen-. - And then it works. really fast. - And like, what the frick? Like, why does that work? - That's crazy. - Yeah. - I, Raven, my fiance, she just recently had a head thing.
'cause she gets really bad migraines. and, like, tension headaches. She was telling me that she was in bed. and like her jaw has been hurting recently, like eating. It's just sore. - Oh, shit. - And she was like, "I was in bed and yawned,". and just like the loudest crack in her jaw. and her jaw immediately stopped hurting. But then she had a headache for like two days afterward. And I was like, I don't know. And like, I'll give her like lots of neck massages. 'Cause I think, like, some of that, like, tightness in the neck can lead to that. But I was like, I don't know.
I was like, that freaks me out. - Does she have TMJ? - Well, I don't know. Maybe, but can it just fix from one pop? - Maybe. - Like it's, anytime there's a big pop or something in my body, I'm like, this might be the end. - Living by myself, I, when, 'cause I've tripped down my stairs a few times. - Oh, shit. - I don't have a handle. Like, I don't have like a railing to hold onto, which is probably stupid. And I've fallen a few times down my stairs and I'm like, this could be the time that I fall down the stairs. and nobody will find me for a week.
- Oh, my God. - We're doing. the "Reddit Stories" with just Trevor. - Yeah. - And we're like, "Isn't there somebody else who's supposed to be here?". - And I was at the bottom of the stairs, like- - Just like Peter Griffin, like, just, body all crumpled up. - Yeah. No, I need to get a railing by the time I'm like 50. 'Cause then it's like, then- - You got a couple years. - Yeah, 'cause I feel like, (staff member laughing). 'cause I landed pretty freaking on my hip one time. and I was like, dude, if I was like any older, I would be toast.
- Yeah. - Oh, you just get ahead of it. and just get one of those ones that takes you down. - With chair, dude. - Oh, yeah. - Honestly, they look like so much fun.

Yeah, I gotta know. I gotta know. - Oh, yeah. - So here are the responses. - Okay, so these are the experts that are weighing in now?
- A EMT-B aka an emergency medical technician, basic, responded, "OP, I am very glad that you can experience smell again. and were able to enjoy the basic joy. that is meatloaf with ketchup. What's concerning me is the level of pain you experience. during and after the event plus your medical history. As wonderful and miraculous this event is, you need to go to an emergency room ASAP. At triage, report your history of cancer, the pop, the intense pain, and the ability to smell again.
You need imaging and a coagulation panel immediately.". 1,000 upvotes. So a non-medical professional responded. "My sister-in-law was on the phone with her mom. when mom suddenly said, 'Something just popped in my head. and now I have an awful headache.'. Then she started slurring her words. and later stopped talking. She had a stroke.". "My 30-year-old friend was with friends and said, 'Something popped in my head and I feel really weird,'. then screaming from pain. Aneurysm had burst. Three surgeries later, and they had inserted three stents.
The doctor said it was amazing. that she arrived at the hospital. and friends reported what happened in time to save her. Go to the ER with any tremendous headache. with a sudden onset.". - Dude, aneurysm is like the scariest thing. - It is the absolute scariest thing. - The idea that you can just be sitting somewhere. and your brain just like bursts. - Yeah. - Like, that's horrifying. - Yeah, but it's, I have heard that advice. that a sudden extreme headache is like, go to the emergency room. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Update. - Oh, God, yes. - Oh.
- "Woke up totally fine. I'm going to tell my GP what happened. and probably end up with an MRI. My mother died of an aneurysm about 10 years ago, so I have had a few MRIs because it can be hereditary. I haven't had an MRI in the last five years though. I have also had a ton of CT scans. from my days with cancer. Either way, based on what I'm seeing here, I will 100% tell my doctor. I have a feeling nothing will turn up on the scan, but it's better to be safe than sorry. My GP is right next to the hospital. so I can go straight to the ER.
The reason I didn't go to the ER right away. was because I am tested constantly 'cause of my cancer, from heart function yearly to an MRI/CT every five years. to blood tests every six months. I have been cancer-free for 20 years now though. The less happy reason I didn't go. is that I found my mother dead in bed. when she had her aneurysm. and I was told even if it had burst. while she was next to a paramedic, there would've only been a 50% chance she would survive. And if she did, there would only be a 50% chance.
she should have regular brain function. I figured if I was having an aneurysm, there wouldn't be much I could do. And I just wanted to lay in bed. with my girlfriend as my last moments. But then the pain went away.". - And he smelled. - "And I was smelling.". - Yeah. - "And I could finally smell. that my girlfriend smelled really bad.". (everyone laughing). - He's like, "Ew." - "My stinky girlfriend.". - "Oh, you're stinky.". - I like the idea that he's like, "Well, it could be an aneurysm, but I'm alive so I'm good.".
- Yeah, he was like, "Oh, I'm gonna wait here.". But I'm like, you waited, you said for six hours the pain was going. - Yeah. - I would go to the ER. - Go to the ER- - Right away. - Yeah. Okay, update number two. - Okay. - "I talked to a nurse and I'm waiting for a doctor. They believe I had some sort of cyst. blocking my smell receptors, and what was cleared out was all infection. They said to go to the ER if my headache comes back. or I start having clear fluid drip out my nose.
and to lean forward to check if anything is coming out. I'll see what the doctor says within the hour.". - Ew. Ew. - What is Emily, yeah, Emily wrote in, "You ever poop so hard you pop a cyst?". - Ew. Ew. - That's crazy. - Oh. (Trevor gasps). Oh, (blows raspberry) oh. Oh! - Oh! My head. (Shayne screaming). - Oh, my God. Okay. Final update. Let's see what they said.
So there were 10-plus updates from OP. - Oh, my god. - Wow, okay. - They did a great job of keeping people posted, communicating their medical journey. We've summed up some of them here, plus have included the final update. All right, to summarize, OP's doctor encourages them. to go to the ER for testing because, "She said my story is very interesting, but she doesn't like it at all.". This needs punch-ups. - That's such a funny thing to hear from a doctor. Like, "Okay, this is pretty crazy and interesting,
but"- - "I don't like it.". - "I don't like it.". - "I don't like it and I don't like you.". Once OP is finally seen, OP has a bit of high blood pressure. and at first the nurse says they're going to do a CT. and possibly a lumbar puncture. So a lumbar puncture was just explained to me, and that is where they basically need to get spinal fluid. They need to test that and so-. - It apparently hurts. - The needle is huge. It's like "The Substance.". - Yeah. - Yeah, exactly. - Just jam it in. - Basically "The Substance." - Yeah.
- All right. Final update, I hope. "After all of this waiting, I have finally been discharged. I have no aneurysms, and he said that he doesn't think I need a spinal tap. because the chances of me having bleeding is very, very low. However, if I get a bad headache, have trouble walking or anything like that, I must go back and I'll be tapped at that point. He said he has no idea what happened to me yesterday. He said I should scream this story from the rooftops. because it's a great story. And to be honest, I agree. My blood pressure wasn't too bad, he said. I think it was 180 over 90 on the last one,
but I'm not sure. I have to monitor myself closely. and go back at the first sign of trouble. I haven't eaten anything today. I can't wait to get home. and have some leftover meatloaf and smoke a bowl. The one silver lining is, I guess-. - Hell yeah, dude. - Hell yeah. - Meatloaf and a bowl? This is my guy. - Turns out our MRI shows. that you're (beep) chill as hell, dude. (Trevor laughing). "The one silver lining is. I guess I get to wait nine years before I get tested again. Ha ha ha ha ha. Parenthesis, kidding.
To all of you who have supported me today, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. I was so certain I was fine until I read these messages, but honestly I'm glad I went. It's better to be safe than sorry. Never underestimate the power of human compassion. There are so many bad things in this world. So many things that make it seem not worth it. But no matter how dark it gets, no matter how much you think the world is against you, just know that there will always be a few thousand people. to listen to your shit stories. All the best, that guy who shit so hard, he could smell again.". - Yeah. - Wow. - And now everybody clapped.
- And everybody clapped. He really turned that around and made it heartfelt. at the end. - Yeah, that's lovely. - Yeah. - That's an insane story. - I think it's just like another one of those cases though. Like, where, and obviously I know it's a little trickier. in the US with our healthcare system, but like, if you're, that something feels off. about your body and you're just like, something doesn't feel normal-. - Right. - Just go. - I know. - Just go. 'Cause like, if you're just waiting for it to get worse,
that could make your recovery worse or, you know-. - Right. - Something could snowball. Like if something feels weird, just go. - Yeah, that was my experience when I started. to feel tooth pain and I was like, oh, it's probably just like TMJ or something. I don't need to worry about it. And then my tooth felt like it was gonna explode suddenly. And it was the weekend so I was like, oh, my dentist won't see me till Monday. I can hold off. And it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. - Yeah. - I've said it before.
I would go, I would break both my ankles again. before I had to experience that. That was, that shit was awful. - Yeah, it was like an abscess or-. - Yeah, it was a, yeah, it was an infection and everything. So they had to do a root canal and it was, but once they did the root canal, I was like, I was grateful. Like, I was excited to get a root canal, So I was like (beep), pull this out. - Yeah. - I'm like a, I'm a serial, I'm in pain and I just, I'll just wait and see if it goes away. 'Cause honestly I had something. that happened with my tooth too, where I had like, it felt like a little cut maybe on my gum,
but it was like so painful and my whole tooth was like sore. - Oh. - And it went away. - Okay. - I never went. and got it looked at. And that's bad advice. - And the tooth fell out. The tooth got really black and fell out. It smelled really bad, but it was fine. - It hurt so bad for like, it hurt to eat or drink anything. for like three or four days. - My God, man. - And now I'm fine. - Oh, Jesus. All right. - That's youth. - Yeah. - Don't do it. Don't do it. - I mean, I think I was literally your age.
when that tooth infection happened, so, I don't know, man. - Well, guess who didn't get a root canal? - Okay. (Trevor laughing). Okay. All right, our next story comes from relationship_advice. This was posted in 2024. This is a 37-year-old woman. "My husband, who's 36, put martial arts training. ahead of helping me get emergency medical treatment, and I'm not sure how to react?". (Trevor snorting) (Shayne sighing). - "Sorry, honey, my martial arts training.".
- "My training comes first.". - Training comes first. - "As the title says, and I'm not sure how to feel about it or react to it, I had a sudden unexplained hematoma appear. in my hand and wrist. Hematoma is when blood pools under the skin. and can't drain out and can damage large blood vessels. It's bulging and sore, causing my whole arm to ache, probably about five inches by five inches. and sticking out an inch. I'm also 22 weeks pregnant and on aspirin.
He came home from work within 20 minutes of this happening. I showed him and he agreed that it was alarming. and I needed to see a doctor urgently. - He's just like, "Let me just give it a nice chop. Haiya!". - "Let me try something. Haiya!". - "We have a one-year-old together. and I have children from a previous relationship, as does he. He's a stepdad. I'm a stepmom. I said, 'Could he watch the kids?'. He asked if my mother could as he had training. My mother had work. I just left it and began cooking dinner totally shocked.
He got changed into his training gear. and came back to the kitchen. I said to him, 'I'm going to struggle to make dinner with my one hand.'. He said, 'I'll pick up takeaway after training.'. I said since he was going to training, I have to cook for the kids as it's their bedtime soon. He ignored me and proceeded to tell me. that he is tense from work. and might need to get in with a massage therapist. After he left, I rang him to call him out on this. He said he would come home if it was that bad.
He said he'd get takeaway, but he needs to go to training for his mental health. So he went, I cooked and took care of the baby and children. He came home, ate, showered, and is in bed. Eventually he asked how my hand is, showed him it's three times bigger than when he left. He said to go to the emergency room. I don't want to now. I'm so tired I feel like I'm not worth it anyway. And while I'm there, I'll just be worried about the baby, and he won't help to alleviate it. I felt it was really cold that he went to training. instead of watching the kids while I sought treatment.
But I'm not sure if I'm overreacting.". - Oh, my God. - Wow. - That makes me so sad. - The amount of stories we read similar to this-. - Oh, my god. - Where it's like, "Yeah, I was dying," and he was like, "No, but I've got basketball practice.". Like, what? - "Babe, for my mental health, I can't help you." - I gotta-. - Sorry. - "I gotta get my gi off.". - "I get you have this freaky unknown thing happening. with your arm and hand, but like, gotta think about my mentals.". - Yeah. "And also, I might have to get a massage after.".
- Yeah. Yeah. - "I might, I just, I might have to get a massage. I'm so sorry.". - "I understand you're going through a lot, but I'm going through a lot too.". - "I kind of need a massage." - That's crazy. that she's like, "I gotta make my kids dinner.". 'Cause like in my head I'm like, you gotta go to the hospital. - Yeah. - Like, figure out the food thing, like, with the kids. - No, this is- - That sucks. - Yeah. Yeah.
Comments. "You still haven't gone to the emergency room? Go to the emergency room, deal with this (beep) later. You need a medical professional. My friend had three DVT, deep vein thrombosis, and two SVTs, supraventricular tachycardia, during pregnancy. They looked like what you describe. Again, go to the emergency room.". OP responded, "I'm here now. It got so painful I thought my hand was going to explode.".
Someone else said, "You are not overreacting. You are underreacting. To your children and stepchildren, you are more important than the whole world. They rely on you. Go to the emergency room ASAP, then kick this loser out permanently. He is making your life harder and dangerous.". Someone else said, "Most martial arts at their core. are about becoming a better, more rounded up person, not dancing around on a mat. That includes protecting those in need, putting them above yourself. Your husband is a failure. (Trevor laughing) I would have lost respect.". Oh.
- Another martial arts guy coming in and being like, "That is not the way." - Yeah. - "I can tell by this post. that your husband is terrible at karate.". - Yeah. - Someone said, "I'm also wondering if he may be having an affair, and the training and massage was actually him. meeting his affair partner.". - Oh, he's getting a massage. Sorry. - The problem is, when someone is- - Sorry, I won't. (Trevor laughing). If you're just listening to this on the podcast, you're welcome. - Yeah. - Yeah. But if you saw this on video, I'm sorry.
- Someone listening to this knows exactly what you did. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - They heard the jerk motion. - They know- - Winds through the air. - "Where was he planning to get a massage at night. after his training? Do you know why his previous marriage failed? Did he cheat on his first wife?". OP responds, "Yes, he cheated. (Ian snorting). He did it loudly and proudly too. and made her think she was crazy. She has sworn off men now. I didn't know this when we got together. He also made out to me that she was perfect.
and the relationship perfect. and that I ought to hold a torch. I obviously didn't know he was a total asshole then. He swooped in post-violent asshole. I probably needed a therapist, not a cuddle. I'm just having a revelation.". - Whoa. - Wow. Holy crap. - Oh, my God. Yeah, I hope this is the wake-up call. 'Cause that just, ah, that makes me so sad. - It's sadly one where you read it and it's like, man, it doesn't really matter. if he's having an affair or not.
He's so awful. - Yeah. - Okay, look, so he says he's doing karate, right? So now what she needs to do is set up a scenario. where somebody goes to rob both of them-. - And see if he actually knows karate. - Yeah, and then- - Oh. - Yeah, and then check his form, you know? How are his punches? How are his spin kicks, you know? - The person that she should hire should be a-. - Someone who's good at martial arts. - A black belt. - A black belt. - At the very least, and just, yeah. And if he can't defend himself,
he gets his ass kicked. - Go comment that. - It's a win-win. - Go comment that. - I think we figured this out. But first obviously, yeah, the hospital is the, take care of that first. - She's at the hospital now. - And then get your husband's ass kicked. - Yeah, get his ass kicked. It's like kinda one of those where every Reddit post. has a comment that's like, "They're cheating.". And it's kinda like, okay. But at the second she's like, "Yeah, he did cheat in his previous relationship,". it's like- - And was proud of it. - And was like loud and proud and gaslighted his ex.
I'm just like, oh, well, now, now, yeah, I believe it. - Yeah. - Because he also is just. not acting like he gives a shit about you. - Yeah. - So all signs. are pointing to that now. Every medical thing related to this, it gets amplified by the fact that she's pregnant. Like, I keep forgetting that aspect. It's like any small medical thing. is so much more serious when you're pregnant. - Sure. - Yeah. - So that's just a whole other aspect to it. - Yeah. - I feel like if, I just, if someone, you know,
if my partner for any reason, even if it's not like a visible, like giant thing on your arm, if they're like, "Hey, I don't feel right. I think, like, I need to go to the hospital,". there is never a situation where I'm like, "Ah, sorry, I don't think that's gonna," like-. - "I'm gonna leave." - "Let's get you there. Like, I'm gonna find a way to get you to a hospital. if you feel like you need to go.". - Yeah. - Right. Right. - I could never imagine in a million years being like, "Oh, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna leave you alone while you're,". especially when there's kids, I'm like, dude.
- Yeah. - Like, you don't care. about anybody in this situation. - No. - Well, there's no more updates, but I'm glad she went to the hospital. It sounds like she's having a revelation. Hopefully- - Let's hope for the best. - She's in a better place now. All right, our next story comes from TrueOffMyChest. This was posted 2025. OP writes, "I was ugly sobbing at the doctors, then the most embarrassing. yet hilarious thing happened to me. So today I went to complete a form at the doctor's office.
for my nursing program at university. and they said it cost $160. I sat down and I just straight up started crying to myself. because I'm so comically broke it's insane. I was called in not too long after. and the doctor asked what was wrong. I just sobbed uncontrollably that I was only 17. and didn't know how I was supposed to pay for everything. Like so ugly, I'm talking snot and tears. running down my face like nobody's business. He sat in silence for a bit, then said he'd waive the fee for me.
And then of course my bum ass cried more. because it meant so much to me. I thanked him for his kindness, then my snot started dripping like a melting icicle. As I'm blowing my nose, he asked me to come and check something, and lo and behold, I get up and drop my tissue. I immediately bend down to get it, but the room is so small and I'm proximity blind. so my ass hits the chair and rocket launches me face first. into the wall right next to him. And to make it worse, as I pull away, I leave an imprint of my tear-soaked snotty face. on the wall.
I got up with my face red, snotty, and wet, and straight up laughed, the stupidest, most low IQ laugh known to mankind, because, like, what is even going on right now? I then stood there with the composure. of a dumbfounded brick as the remnants. of my face plant of doom haunted me a few inches away. The doctor turned away and stifled a laugh, then asked if I was fine. And all I could do was wish I pretended I passed out. with my face glued to the wall by my snot. so I wouldn't have had to face him again.".
Whoa. - Dude. - All right. - That's pretty funny. - And then they died. (Trevor laughing) (Shayne shouting). Just dead. - Yeah. - Pretty good. - Wow. - Yeah. - So that happened to this person. - I, how, yeah, you have to have a lot of moisture. on your face for it to leave an imprint. - I just imagined it was like they hit the wall and went, it was like (buzzes). - Just skidding your sauce. - Just slowly sliding down.
just face first. - Yeah. - Yeah. Okay. - Yeah. So there's that. - I was gonna make a, I don't know. - Okay. - Well, 'cause you said it was, 'cause medical, and you said this is the subreddit TrueOffMyChest, I was like, oh, it's gonna be a mastectomy story. (staff member laughing) - That's, hey. - Hey. - It's funny. - Truly true. True. - I don't know. This was the joke, this is the joke I had bouncing around my head. - Doing some jokes now. - Feel like I needed.
to get that off my chest- - I get it. - You know? - Hey. True. Off my chest. - Yeah. - This reminds me of how, like, I do feel, and I think this is common of people. to feel kind of embarrassed at the doctor. or being like nervous about anything, you know? Like, we're just like, no, doctors see so much stuff every day. - Oh, yeah. - It's not. gonna be embarrassing. - Yeah. - I went to a dermatologist. for the first time in my adult life recently. 'Cause I was just like, oh, I've never gotten a checkup. Like I should just make sure it's good. And then of course, like I go in, and they're like, "Yeah, so I need you to like basically strip down.
to just your underwear and we'll come in and check.". And then I was just kind of like, right, of course they need to look at my skin. But I'm just sitting there just kind of like, this, help, this is weird. Yeah, I'm just like, this is really weird. But I'm like, they've looked at so many people today. - Yeah. - And, like, so the doctor then comes in, he just kinda like, all right, yeah, I'm just like, looking around. And I'm just kinda like, oh, you know, whatever. 'Cause like as someone. who's not doing that all day every day,
you recognize how weird the situation is. But for a doctor, completely normal. - Yeah. - But for her, smashing face first into a wall, that's super embarrassing. and she should feel embarrassed. He's never seen that before in his life. - Yeah. - That's true. - Nobody's ever seen that before in their life. - I gotta believe that doctors. like probably love stuff like that. 'Cause I'm sure that they deal. with like a lot of, like, difficult things, like sad, difficult, but whatever it is, and then for them to just have. like someone do something that funny, it's probably like, that was probably like a nice old bright spot on his day.
- I think so. I think so. - You gave him a nice "Looney Tunes" moment. - Yeah. - He enjoyed them. - Comments, "Nothing in life is free. You had to pay up somehow.". Someone said, "I've been a supervisor. before specializing in the onboarding department. I would go through many candidates a week. I would hire you. Why? Because you're genuine. That's all. You did great. Give yourself some slack. Let your human self be human for a moment.". Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Prime nurse material, you know? - That's what they're saying. - That's what I- - I don't know if I'd want.
my nurse to be- - I hear that's. what they're looking for. - Falling face first into things. - When your nurse comes in to save your life. but there's a banana peel on the floor, (everyone laughing). "I'll save you. (screams)" - There's a banana, and there's rake on the ground. She steps on- - Kaboom. - Slides through the wall and leaves a perfect silhouette. - Yeah. - I am imagining, I know this didn't happen. I'm imagining, like, she like went into the wall, like, there is, like it smashed into the wall. Ah, fun. Fun to visualize. - Love it.
- All right. - Love it. - Our next story comes from, AmItheAsshole. This was posted in April of 2024. "Am I the asshole for not paying hospital bills. after my friend tripped over my dog?". - Oh, okay. - Okay. - We got ourselves a little dilemma here. - Got ourselves a dilemma. - Okay. - "Yesterday my friends and I were hanging out in the park. Me plus my dog, my friend Cathy plus her dog, and another friend Jenny. Jenny was walking Cathy's dog.
and they were walking ahead of us. Cathy was walking a bit behind me and my dog. Cathy decided that she wanted to catch up with Jenny, so she started running from behind me. As Cathy ran past me and my dog, she fell and tripped. We thought it was a minor injury, but it turns out she dislocated her shoulder. and needs surgery." - Ooh. - "Cathy says that while she was running past us, my dog suddenly ran toward her and she tripped over my dog. Honestly, I didn't see clearly how exactly she tripped. I couldn't tell if my dog actually ran into her,
or if she tripped over my dog on her own. My dog didn't make a sound and didn't seem bothered. Jenny also said she couldn't tell. Cathy wants me to pay her hospital bills. because she says it's my dog's fault that she tripped. But I feel like it's unfair for her to ask this. If my dog had bit her or attacked her, obviously that'd be a different story. and I would 100% pay all the medical bills. But in this instance, Jenny and I are both unsure. if whether my dog ran into Cathy, whether Cathy tripped over my dog,
or whether Cathy tripped by herself near my dog. Cathy started running from behind me. so I didn't have a clear view of what happened. The money isn't a big deal, but out of principle, I don't wanna pay the bills. because I feel like this isn't my fault. Am I the asshole? Edit, by the way, my dog is a corgi. So pretty small"- - Low to the ground. - "Not big enough to knock anyone over. But you could definitely trip. if he ran into you while you were running. Edit number two, Cathy is my coworker. We've been hanging out more, so I started to think of her as my friend.
But we are coworkers. We work together in the same smallish office, which also makes things a little more awkward.". - I mean, like, the thing is like, Cathy's the one that's making this awkward. Like, I think like, I think if the dog's on a leash, I don't think it's the owner's responsibility. Because like, I could see like, if you're at a dog park or something. and a big dog barreling towards you, hits your leg,
breaks your leg or whatever, then I'd say, yeah, that's on the owner. But this person was doing the running, not the dog. - Yeah. - I don't know. I don't think she owes Cathy jack squat. - I don't either. - I don't think there's a way you can cut this situation. Like, even if the dog did run into her, she's the one that decided to run. And you never know how a dog's gonna react. if you start moving fast out of nowhere. Like, my dog can just be laying on the floor,
and if I get up from the couch too fast, he's like, "You wanna fight?". Like, you just like, you're running around a dog. and if the dog gets underneath you, like, it's a dog, it's a small dog. It's an animal. Like, that's on you as a human to be responsible. - Also, the dog didn't get hurt. or didn't yelp or anything. - Didn't yelp or anything. - That's almost made me think. like she didn't even trip on the dog. - The contact is questionable. Sounds like just a skill issue. - Yeah. - Yeah. And, like, I'm no lawyer, but I think like if you agree to pay for her medical bills,
then you're admitting responsibility. - Yeah. - And then what happens. if she's like, "Oh, actually, I need physical therapy for my shoulder too.". And you're like, "No, I don't wanna do that.". Then she sues you and she's like, "Well, you paid for this. You admitted fault.". I don't know. - Yeah. - I'm just thinking America brain right now. - No, for sure. It certainly gets into like murky territory of like, if you're just running and you run into someone, can you blame them for your-. - Right. - It's just like, nah, man. Like, you chose to run. Like, there's obstacles. You're on a hiking trail.
You're not like, I don't know. - This just reminded, this just unlocked a memory. I was a kid one time. There was this park down the street from my house. And God, I had to have been like, eight years old probably. Like, I was in elementary school. And someone, like, had their dog, like, off of a leash. and they were just like playing fetch. And I didn't see, and then there was just a ball on the ground, like a tennis ball. - Oh, no. - And I, like, went and picked at the ball. And this dog just barreling. and just completely sweeps my legs out from under me.
And I literally, like, did a flip and just like landed. And I was like, "What the?". And then I just went, I just walked home. - Yeah. - I didn't even talk. to the person. I didn't talk. The person didn't talk to me, like the dog just, like, took me out, grabbed the ball, and I was like, all right, guess I'm going home. I wasn't meant to be outside today. - Videos of dogs just absolutely leveling-. - Yeah. - People or kids. Hilarious. - Kind of funny. - No, it was, like, I wish I had a video. and could see from like an outsider's perspective.
'Cause I remember- - You did a flip. - I remember like genuinely my legs flying up in the air. - No, like when a dog's just going. and they just barrel into someone, it's very funny. I also love videos, not quite the same, but where people are walking. and a cat will be waiting somewhere. and just like (beep) smack 'em in the face. (Trevor laughing) That shit's hilarious. See when you see videos of cats doing that stuff, it's so intentional. - Yeah. - Dogs do it by accident. - Yeah. - Right. - Cats are actually like, "No, I meant to hit you.". - Yeah. - That's great.
Verdict, not the asshole. - Okay. - Comments. "Accidents are why one has health insurance. Not the asshole. Also keep in mind that if you consent to pay, you may open up a Pandora's box of issues, lingering pain in the future, physical rehabilitation, pain and suffering, et cetera.". 6,000 upvotes. Someone said, "Not the asshole. This was all Cathy's fault. She came from behind so you could not see her. And she was the one running into your dog. Don't pay. She was negligent and injured herself.". Someone responded to that. "Yep, if anything, she rear-ended that dog and therefore is 100% liable.".
Someone said, "Not the asshole, but also tell me you're American. without telling me you're American.". Someone responded to that saying, "The asshole is the American healthcare system.". True. - Yeah. Sure. - Lastly, someone said, "Cathy can get (beep) here. (everyone laughing). Frankly, (beep) Cathy. She decided to run and ran into a damn corgi. Tell her to eat her vegetables and a glass of milk, 'cause she's fragile as shit. - Oh, my god. - Oh, man. - Is there a picture of the corgi?
- No. - Aw. - What's the (beep) point? - What's the point? - It's the poster's fault. That's what they're the asshole for. - Okay, they're the asshole-. - For not including a picture. of their dog. - OP is now the asshole. - Yeah. - That's how it goes. Next story also comes from, AmItheAsshole. This was posted in 2023. "Am I the asshole for refusing. to remove my medical equipment during my sister's wedding?". - Oh. "My sister is getting married next weekend. and I'm a bridesmaid. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I wear two medical devices,
a Dexcom blood sugar monitor on one arm. and a Omnipod insulin pump on the other. They're both really small under two inches each. and work together to automatically monitor. and regulate my blood sugar levels. This basically means I don't have to prick my fingers. to test blood sugar or give myself insulin injections. The system does that automatically. and makes my life way easier. Today when we were trying on our dresses, my sister told me she wants me to not wear them. during the wedding because the gowns are sleeveless.
and the devices will look ugly in the photos. I told her I wasn't okay removing them. They're essential medical equipment. and I'm not going to put myself in a position. to affect my health just for some photos. My sister complained to our mother. and some of our friends and they are all taking her side. They say it's no big deal. if I just don't wear them during the wedding, but I don't see why I should. Mom suggested I could move them to my stomach, but I've tried that before. and find it incredibly uncomfortable. When I put a new sensor on,
I'm stuck with it for 10 days until it expires. and I can switch to a new one. And I don't wanna be stuck with one on my stomach. where it will bother me the entire time. They're all complaining. that I'm not willing to compromise at all, but I don't think my health should be an area. where anyone can ask what I compromise at all. Am I the asshole? - That's insane, dude. - That's unbelievable. - Like, "Um, actually, your health isn't important. What's important is these photos looking real nice. And you have that ugly little thing on your arm.".
- Yeah. - Like, that's insane. - Yeah, how hurtful and insensitive is that remark too, because this is something she wears daily. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And her sister's going, "Yeah, that ugly you have on.". It's like, damn. - Dumb stupid (beep) thing. - So this is how you think I look all the time. because of this. - That thing that keeps you alive. and healthy. - Oh, my God. - For my brother's wedding, I had like sprained my ankle really bad. and I was in a boot. And I was in a boot. So for the pictures I took off the boot, you know,
and then I just put it back on. and that was like a very simple thing. You know, I just took it off. for a few minutes to do the pictures. But for something that's literally like a medical device. for like diabetes like that that is on you, insane ask. Like, that is so, yeah. - It's also a small device. - Yeah. - Said less. than two inches each. It's just like, okay. - Some people just get so obsessive-. - Come on. - With, like, the aesthetics of a wedding. - Yeah, and it's just like, hey, like, there's color schemes, there's certain themes, fine, but when it gets to, like,
no, change who you are as a human being for this, that's always where they're in the wrong. The verdict was not the asshole. Also unfortunate, and this just seems like always the case. when we read wedding Reddit stories where the mom. and other people side with the person who's shitty. Like, it just always feels like, yeah, the shitty person's gonna have more people backing them. for some reason. - Yeah. - I mean, I think there's. just a lot of, like, misunderstanding around,
you know, like medical equipment and diabetes. and that kind of stuff. And people think it's like optional. - Right. - I guess. And, yeah. - And it's easy for them. to say it to someone, to be like, "Oh, just move it to somewhere else.". It's just like, you're not the one who has to deal with it. Like, they are. - Yeah. - No, and you're right. Like because, like, it's clear that she feels. like a certain type of way about it all the time, 'cause like it's something that she noticed and brought up. Like, if I was in this situation,
I wouldn't even think of that, I feel like. I wouldn't ever look at that and be like, oh, no, like, she's, it's something that she notices. and is always looking at or always, like, thinking of often. that it was a big enough deal for her to be like, "I don't want that in my picture.". - Right. - Which is just, like, uncomfortable. - Yeah. - But it doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks. 'Cause like, if it's related to your health, it's none of your business. - Yeah. - Of course. - 100%. - I agree with that. But what an awful situation for OP. because now her sister's done that.
Her mom's taken her side. All of her friends. It's like, oh I, she now, even after this wedding, whether she does this compromise or not, it's like you have to move on past that, knowing now how you're perceived by these people. who are supposed to have your back. That's gotta be very hurtful. - If it's so dire for the sister, she could probably even talk to OP and just be like, "Is it cool if I Photoshop it out afterwards?". Like- - Right. - Fine, like, you know, there's that option as opposed to like,
"Hey, really alter all this stuff. that is so crucial to you.". - Yeah, that's a super, I mean, if it's just the, like, the glucose monitor on your arm, that's super easy-. - I can't imagine being bothered by it though. - To paint that out in Photoshop. - Sure, that'd be easy to do. But even still, I'm like, I just can't imagine being upset about that. - It just communicates, like it just even bringing it up communicates of like, oh, that thing, like, it's ugly. Like, I don't want it in my photos. Like, that thing, that ugly thing on your arm, could you, like, move it? Like, even if you don't say it like that, that's what you're communicating.
is like that thing isn't aesthetically pleasing. I don't want it in my photos. And that's just like a really shitty thing. to do to- - I think it's kind of cool. You look like a cyborg. - Yeah, totally. - You know? - Cyberpunk. - Yeah, exactly. It is cyberpunk. - Comments, "Not the asshole. Promptly declined the invitation to attend. if your sister cares more about her aesthetic wants. than your medical needs.". 12,000 upvotes. Someone said, "Seconding this. I just got married wearing my Dexcom and Tandem pump. I wore my Dexcom on my lower back, but I normally wear it on my arm.
I did so for photos, and you know what? It sucked. My readings were off and I was stressed about that. Looking back, I don't care if you could have seen my Dexcom. because it's a huge part of who I am. Tell your sister to kick rocks if she cares more. about her aesthetically pleasing wedding slash photos. than your wellbeing.". - Yes. - Someone else said, "Not the asshole. Photoshop exists for reasons just like this. Asking you to compromise your health is selfish for them. Not to mention unreasonable.". Someone said, "My aunt turned up to my wedding.
with four stitches in her forehead. from surfing that morning. She was also dopey from the meds. The photographer we had just removed them, and we didn't notice until he told us he did it.". Hey. - That's awesome. - That's pretty cool. - Yeah, my aunt was shredding. some crazy gnar, cracked open her skull, didn't matter. - I love the idea of just showing up to a wedding. just (beep) up. - The idea- - We could cut this, but I'm also like, "Oh, and the photographer. also made our aunt snatched with huge natural.".
(everyone laughing). Just like, the aunt's just like crazy proportions. Like, "What the hell did you do to her hand? And our uncle too.". - I like the idea of like- - "We just asked. for a slight touch up.". - "Jesus, you gave my uncle just a massive butt.". - I like the idea of like going to my nephew's wedding. and being like, "Dude, I kind of wanna surf this morning. Let me go catch some waves this morning.". - "I gotta catch some waves, dude.". - Someone said, "Not the asshole, and I am judging your mother hard.
Your sister and mother suck frankly. Who in their right minds asks someone they love. to neglect their very serious health issue for aesthetics?". A lot of people. A lot of people are just out of their minds at weddings. I don't know what the deal is. Update. - Oh. - "Oh, my gosh, thank you so much to everyone for the responses. I didn't expect this post to blow up the way it did at all. So I have an update for everyone. I didn't want to involve others hoping to settle this. between myself and my mom slash sister, but my brother got wind of what happened last night.
and absolutely tore my mom and sister a new one. about how hurtful it was to suggest I go. without my devices just for her wedding photos. He then told my grandfather, who is paying for the wedding. Grandpa apparently drove an hour into town this afternoon. just to tell my mother how disappointed he was. and that he must have gone wrong somewhere raising her. He told her that if they didn't apologize. and make things right, my mom should figure out how to pay. for all of the outstanding wedding costs herself. Now, I do think this was a bit extreme. I wasn't looking to cause this much trouble.
for my mom and sister, but it seems to have worked. because they called me to apologize. and say it was wrong of them. to suggest I just go without my monitor and pump. and we can find a way to dress it up instead. I accepted their apologies. We decided to try wearing flower corsages. over each device so they can't be seen. If that doesn't work, we can try a shawl. as many of you suggested. Again, thank you for all the support. I'll be giving my grandpa a big hug. and buying my little brother dinner tonight. as a thank you for having my back on this. Maybe it seems minor to some,
but it was really upsetting to me. that my own family turned on me. when it came to my own health. So it was a really big deal to me. that they unconditionally supported me. when my mom and sister wouldn't.". That's so great. - Yeah. - Thank God. - Thank God. - The happy ending. - That's the happy ending. - The happy ending. - And I mean, I think it just like, you know, I think it was just more of like an ignorance thing. with a daughter and mom, like, I mean, it seems like the apology,
I would accept the apology. - Sure, I get that. 'Cause like I know with a lot of weddings, the vibe is like, hey, let's make everything peaceful and right. - Yeah. - But I think it's good. she stood her ground here. I'm really glad that she had other people back her up. I get that, like, after the apologies. and after the acceptance of like, okay, you're not gonna have to go through that ordeal, to be like, all right, now I'll keep the peace. I'll accept your apology. We can move on from this. As opposed to, like, holding it on them.
- Yeah. - But, happy about this situation. - Happy ending. - Happy ending. We don't get a lot of those on-. - Yeah. - On Reddit. I like, I just like pictured like the grandfather's. like this like oil tycoon guy. and he like comes out of his Rolls-Royce. with his like little cane and he's like, "I tell you if you don't apologize to my granddaughter, I'm cutting you out of the wheel.". - I'm picturing the grandpa as the monopoly man. - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, this last story comes from TrueOffMyChest. - You look stressed out. - I am stressed out. - Just gripping his head. Just, ugh. - We talked earlier. about how doctors see everything all day. So it's like doctors are not phased. So like, I was embarrassed to be, you know, basically naked in front of a doctor, but I'm like, oh, for me, I'm just another, like, part of the job. - Sure, they see a lot of- - I'm nothing special, just whatever. - They see a lot of objects. and a lot of different holes. - Right. - Yep. - But this final title,
this was posted in March of 2025, "Surgeon made fun of my penis.". (Trevor laughing) - Oh, no. Okay. - Dude. - Yeah. - Oh, God. Oh, my god. - Surgeon, huh? - That's so funny. (laughs). - All right, let's see what this is. - Let's hear him out. - Dude, imagine, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Imagine like getting home from surgery and you, like, it's a roommate partner, whatever, and you're like, "Oh, dude, the surgeon made fun of my penis." (laughs).
- Now I'm like dying to know. I wanna know details on this man's penis. - Yeah, okay. Is there a photo? - Is it a funny looking one? (staff member laughing) - Oh, God. - Let's go. - "I, 32 male at the time, am a big dude of two meters and 120 kilograms, that's six foot 6, 250 pounds in drunk pirate units, and had to have surgery on my calves.
because of varicose veins. So the day of, I was told to get completely undressed. and put on the generic open back gown, which due to my frame, made me look like Donald Duck, if you know what I mean. I was led to the OR by a nurse. and placed on a cold metal table. They administered some local anesthesia to my legs, and after about 10 minutes laying naked. in a cold, brightly lit room waiting to be sliced up, the two doctors strolled in. I was very anxious, cold, and self-conscious, so I just stayed still. Nurse." - He's really saying. a lot of cold- - "And also.
I was really cold." - He's insisting, he was very cold. Cold table. - "And I was just in the pool. and so"- - It was very cold. Okay. - Freezing, guys. Freezing. - I think I see. where this is going. Continue. - "Nurse says anesthesia was given, patient ready. Doc one walks to the table. 'Wow. Big (beep) and such a small dick.'". - No, no, no, no. You can't just- - Doc two laughs. OP goes, "What?".
Nurse, in a panic, "Oh, no. You have the wrong patient file. This one isn't the fully sedated one. He is awake.". - Yes. - Dude, if I'm awake on an operating table. and a doctor thinks I'm asleep. and makes a joke about my tiny penis, I don't think I would make a noise. Like, I think I would be so mortified that I'd just be like, that was the worst thing ever. Like, I- - I might just go into a coma. - I might just die. - I mean, like,
yeah, wow. - So, yeah, "Nobody said another word to me. for the rest of the operation, just 200 decibels of awkward silence. while they ripped veins out of me. It felt like Ricky Gervais wrote this scene. I should have walked out, but I was too shocked to even think. When they were done, they exchanged quiet words. with the nurse and quickly walked out. It was a bit shocking, but I quickly laughed it off. I mean, they weren't wrong, but man, some people. Edit, this was 10 years ago. I am fine.".
Oh, God, damn, dude. - I mean, yeah, of course. Because, you know, like, doctors are humans like everybody else. and they're gonna talk, you know? Like- - I know. - But there's obviously like a level of professionalism. you're supposed to bring to the workspace. and then you go home and you be like, "Honey, this dude's was like.". But, yikes. - Yeah.
- At the very least, if you're gonna make fun of someone's (peep), at least try and be funny. Like, at least made, like, something, like a little short, like, "Ooh, didn't realize I ordered the shrimp Alfredo.". (Shayne and Ian laughing). Like, at least try 'em. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, I would respect. if they're even attempting something. - If they're attempting some sort of, you know, well thought out joke. - I guess like, why is it even worth commenting on?
- If I'm a doctor, like, I don't wanna, I wouldn't wanna like, look. I would probably try to avoid looking. at as many penises as possible. Like I- - 'Cause you're gonna see. - So many throughout the day. - It's not something I wanna look at. And like, I'm not gonna, like, let my, like, examine it. Like, I'm working on his legs. I'm gonna look at his legs. I'm not gonna like, be like- - I think of, I think-. - But they had the wrong patient file. They didn't know why they were-. - 'Cause it was a local anesthesia, not a-. - It was a local anesthesia. - Not a full anesthesia. - So this guy was fully awake. - So dumbass. read the chart wrong or read the wrong chart.
And then- - Oh. It's kinda one of those situations where I'm like, I understand that they thought he was fully sedated, but it's like, dude, you're a professional. I also understand that doctors are just in there all day. This is just like, becomes routine. But it's like, damn, man, like, I'm still like, you're an asshole. You're like, that's still a really mean thing to be doing and saying, the way you're talking about patients. - I mean, it's physicians like that. that make people afraid to go to the doctor. - Yeah. - Because they're.
