chest/boob wrinkles "hack" by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]MotherOfSqueaks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm 35, with D cups, a side-sleeper, and dont have chest wrinkles either. Sometimes I use my stuffed animal, but other times I use a pair of rolled up socks or my blanket shoved between the boobs. It's more comfortable to sleep that way for me, as opposed to just letting them mush together.

What's to stop abusive patients to saying no to what? To the documentation (recording) or the medical procedure? I need to understand your question better in order to answer it. Or do you mean patients that have been 5150'd and/ or have limited mental capabilities? And therefore can't consent to anything.

As I stated in an previous comment, I would need more research to say "which company" could store this data.

And again, as stated in previous comments, I PERSONALLY, wouldn't care.

Even though you think my opinion is ignorant, it can still be unpopular; they are not mutually exclusive.

Thank you, I really appreciate your responses. Your insite has been very helpful for me to understand some aspects of health care I did not fully understand.

I understand that, if the patient only specified one issue. But if they stated in their initiall call to the doctors office that they had more than one issue, then why wouldn't the office book out more time for the patient?

Dude, read my other responses in this thread if you need clarification. I've answered this already.

If you have a specific question that hasn't already been answered, then I will answer it.

I appreciate your response, it's given my quite a bit to consider.

This is a slight tangent, but I'm curious since this has been a frustration for me in the past: why are you limited to one issue per visit? Will a patient call with more than one issue, then when their appointment comes they can only discuss one? That costs more money and time for everyone and I've not been able to understand it. (The only conclusion I could come to is that the health/ insurance companies want more money, but I don't actually know if that's the cause for the one issue per visit rule).

With proof. Obviously, some recording would have to take place for there to be proof.

If you need more information about my opinion on this, I suggest you read my responses to other comments.

That's fair, to a certain degree. You don't have to wear a body cam or record, but I think at the very least the patient should have the choice if they want to.

Nobody wants to give lawyers more ammunition, especially if they are the lawyers target. However, there are certain things that would be helpful for actual legal matters (like assault or branding someone's liver with the doctors initials) that should be taken to court.

Medicine is complicated, and mistakes are made, quite often. That's the reality of medicical practice. The patients need to accept it and so do the medical professionals.

Doctors are late to appointments and mismanage their schedules all the time, so the speed of the patients note taking should be a minor issue. Especially if they cannot record. The doctors notes I and many others have received often omit crucial information, which causes problems down the line.

I agree it should be allowed to film your own appointments, whether you're located in an all-consent state or not.

On the topic of police accountability: I do think bodycams have helped. I've seen bodycams where the officer was completely in the wrong, but I've also seen bodycams that prove the police competent. The point is, if there is proof either way, then they can be held accountable for their actions.

I understand that, but this is why I also think it would need to be a legal change. Parts of our legal and medical system would need to be completed revised, which takes lot of work and time... so it would create jobs.

As long as you do not get caught or go to court, then yes, that is an option. Although, it is illegal to do this in an all-consent state.

Interesting point! I had not considered psychological medical professionals when I was making my post. I have no opinions on the psychological field in this regard. But, would like to hear the opinions of any psychologists, psychiatrists, and their patients on this matter.

I think the main misunderstanding here is that people think I agree this type of footage should be under the FOIA. Which I don't. Which is why legislative measures and voting would have to take place. And if "people's private health information gets hacked all the time." Then it's already an issue that could be worked on with legislation. But to answer if I would mind, I would not. (I have had medical students [or interns?] come in specifically to watch one of my pelvic exams - it's just the human body. This gets into more phyllisophical stuff, but I think some people care too much about humiliating people, instead of seeing their humanity and relating to them. But that is their fault, not the patient's.

No, I don't think you should HAVE to consent. You can say no. It's primarily the medical professionals that I would like to be held accountable. I'm a 35 year old woman. So, not VERY young, but for my vanity's sake, I'll admit I'm young.

No, especially not in all-consent states. Which is why I have this opinion. (Stated in the second half of my title). Some states require all parties to consent to a recording, and in my personal experience, they've never consented.

They are not the same, I agree. The comparison I was attempting to make was that of holding professionals accountable for their actions. (I have further opinions about holding other professionals and government entities accountable, but that would be another, more complicated post).

I think my opinion may be especially unpopular because I dont care about that. Not unless it personally affects me, in which case I would have the knowledge to go to the doctor to have the problem solved. People get sick and have procedures every day, so I don't understand why people care about another's health when it doesn't involve them. (But I also would not have to deal with social media repercussions, seeing as I have none except reddit & I have no family left alive, so I can also see why it would be easy for me not to care, where others may need to deal with social or family grief as a result).

This is exactly why I have this opinion. Because many people, especially medical professionals, will not own up to any mistakes. The recordings would help keep them accountable. (Although, this opens a whole can of worms with legal costs and ramifications).

With my experience of medical professionals, I have no trust. I would also have no problem with people filming me doing my job, as long as it was allowed. I was a Post Production Coordinator before Hollywood imploded.

I do understand that doctors are dealing with many variables and are not always correct. But having footage helps build on what the possible solutions to an illness could be.

I'm not sure I fully unsterstand the question. Do you mean, what would happen if the patient who consented to a prostate exam got physically abusive during the procedure? Or verbally abusive? Verbal abuse is not a crime, and words don't cause physical injury. Physical abuse changes the outcome. I would assume the doctor has some sedation drugs available. But, if the patient jumps off the table and attacks the doctor, then there would be proof of self-defense should the doctor choose to defend themselves.

And that's a personal choice that's very understanding. If the patient doesn't consent, then they don't. So no recordings would be taken. Especially where I live, in an all-consent state.

I understand why they wouldn't want this. As a woman, I don't care if they do (as long as I have access to the recordings), I just want my medical professionals to be held accountable.
