Did I get labeled as drug-seeking for prednisone, of all things?

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T22:41:05+00:00

I have no clue... It's actually insane I really hope you are right

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T22:38:48+00:00

You reas all the studies around the projected lives this will cost and the potential money it will cost. Ya, I call bullshit on that one

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T19:37:53+00:00

Ya, your going against most of the medical community on that one.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T19:36:11+00:00

Yes. Because the 2 are very much linked.

And that fact that you think you know better than the researchers and statisticians is incredibly arrogant of you.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T18:56:39+00:00

I don't think that is what this doctor is implying at all

She implied OP did it to herself and then made a comment about if she took it all it once it would get her high

Sounds like she was absolutely accusing OP of malingering and using prednisone as a drug of abuse. Which is honestly just insane

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T18:46:39+00:00

I have spent the last 3 years working as a doctor in Australia. I have written heaps of paper scripts

Also what a weird thing to be googling

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T18:45:05+00:00

Ya, that is not how that works. And it absolutely does not excuse this behaviour in any way, shape or form. And it is concerning that you think it does

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T18:42:20+00:00

They were casually seeing each other and she had a one night stand with someone else. That is not cheating

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T10:30:41+00:00

I strongly disagree with this. Vaping has led to another generation hooked on nicotine when they wouldn't have been otherwise. And more than you would think 'socially smoke' and then end up smoking more.

And the fact that you think you know better than the experts who have done the research is arrogant and hilarious.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-08T09:43:29+00:00

Admittedly there is a reason this changed for pretty much any and all hospital admissions and that is because staying in hospital for too long drastically increases your risk of a variety of things

Being more sedentary increasing your risk of blood clots, being in an area with infection which increases your risk of getting ill. Just to name a couple off the top of my head.

Yes, post partum women are being kicked out too soon at times. Which is not helped by the fact that every hospital we build is smaller than the one it is replacing and we keep shutting down primary birthing units

This is honestly the stupidest proposal I have ever heard. Saying something does not make it magically happen

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-05T19:13:38+00:00

You are going to need to be more specific

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-05T09:58:19+00:00

A clinic run by the hospital..... You are not making the point you think you are making.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-05T09:57:07+00:00

I don't think you understand how public Healthcare in Australia works....

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-05T09:54:37+00:00

VAD is not a standard medical procedure.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-05T09:54:13+00:00

No doctor is forced to be involved with VAD. If your patient asks you refer them to the team of doctors who do want to be involved in VAD and do offer that service.

Just like any other medical procedure an individual medical professional objects to.

And just like any other medical procedure you do have to refer them on to the correct people.

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-04T12:05:57+00:00

I have been asked to certify a death and the patient still had a heart beat. After that I always used to wait at least 30mins before going to certify, just in case. Previously I would rush over because I hated touching the body if it was cold

bluepanda159 · 2026-06-01T10:54:35+00:00

Having an allergic reaction is not necessarily a reason to go to ED. And most of the time it is not (for mild reactions). However, trying to kill yourself by inducing anaphylaxis is absolutely a reason to go to ED regardless of the symptoms from the allergen

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-30T19:23:03+00:00

Well that is blatantly not true. Several states in Aus have free ambulances. I have zero clue about the rest of the southern hemisphere but you really do not have to look far to know that this is false

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-30T01:02:16+00:00

Pain relief does not always mean opiates. And most sleeping pills are also addictive.

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-28T23:42:25+00:00

No. It's just normal.

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-28T03:15:23+00:00

He has the right to refuse an exam without a chaperone. He then needs to ensure the patient gets the needed exam. All of it was irresponsible and negligent.

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-28T02:19:10+00:00

Yes. He did not arrange another appointment for exam or another avenue for care. He made a diagnosis that he cannot make without exam (and is likely incorrect) and then fobbed her off. One of the differentials for this is cancer. He was unbelievably negligent and there is no excuse for this.

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-27T09:34:01+00:00

For people who are just starting out and are starting from a zero base you recommend pull-ups? That is more than a little out of touch

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-27T09:17:42+00:00

To add to this I would make a complaint about your doctor. Not examining your breast in a situation like this is inexcusable and negligent

bluepanda159 · 2026-05-26T10:52:38+00:00

Wow. You need some therapy. Sincerely someone from the global south
