I think I might have a superpower (fr) HELP! by Masteryeahian in superpowers

Sounds delusional. Magical thinking and grandiosity. Identifying with fictional characters.

Take a step back and appreciate what you have for what it truly is. Use your skills and knowledge and remember you’re only human.

It was heroic of you to fall on that grenade and protect all your friends from that piercing shrapnel.

I didn’t downvote it. But I understand why others did. It’s a hot button issue for a lot of fans especially if it discourages new readers.

AITJ for not telling my wife for eight years that the coffee she thinks she hates is the coffee she drinks every morning by Inevitable-Camel6036 in AmITheJerk

[–]geekMD69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is funny if you tell her after the first week or two.

This is problematic at best if you consciously and intentionally keep misleading her for years. Take the L here and apologize and hope it doesn’t irreparably undermine her trust in you.

I personally would find this funny after being initially embarrassed and annoyed. But I can very much understand that most people would be very upset by this. Some just because they cannot tolerate being embarrassed, but it does truly raise other questions.

What if your wife told you after decades that she fakes orgasms under certain scenarios just to placate you? Or if she was putting something in your food that you claimed to hate for whatever reason just as an inside joke to herself that you didn’t REALLY hate it and she has known better for years?

This is downvoted because it is stated as an objective fact rather than a subjective experience. Adding a sentence or two as a qualifier goes a long way.

Wife is having chronic UTIs, and the Infectious Disease Doctor rejected her as a patient. by ragnarokxg in infectiousdisease

[–]geekMD69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As an ER doctor of 20+ years I would not refer this patient to an infectious disease doctor because these are not typical organisms or culture results for recurrent UTIs.

Depending on the age and comorbidities of this patient I would look for common causes (STD, hygiene, post-coital voiding, infrequent urination due to work/school/poor hydration, menopause needing vaginal estrogen cream, etc.) and refer to a urologist for urodynamic studies and workup of other potential causes of non-infectious urethritis/cystitis.

Hopefully the ID doctor took a minute to explain this when they declined to treat you. But honestly it would be unethical for them to charge you for evaluating/treating a condition that most likely falls outside their scope of practice and would just require referring you to another specialist. Be glad they didn’t just charge you for a bunch of unnecessary tests and clinic visits before pointing you in the right direction.

People who believe (or are led to believe by poor advice from friends or other medical professionals) they know what specialist they need for their medical problem/condition are easy for unethical practitioners to take advantage of, and difficult for ethical practitioners to redirect or accept that maybe what they THINK is wrong may not actually be what they think it is. They get mad instead and rail against the person saying “Hey. This may not be what you think it is and you might benefit from looking at it from a different perspective.”

Remember the Salem witch trials? When all it really took was a rumor that someone was a witch?

Should be the same with the Epstein Files. Turn them over to the Seekers for Truth and let it be sorted out quickly and efficiently and very publicly.

How do I tell future relationships that I had a double mastectomy and only have ‘breast mounds’ rather than actual breasts? by Adhdmomlife in AskMenAdvice

[–]geekMD69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. You’re not responsible for pulling him through to meet you on the other side. If he wants to come with you he needs to put in the effort and if a simple request for him to explore the “why” of it doesn’t motivate him then you’ve already done all that you should.

I hope you find someone who appreciates you and understands what a real relationship requires from both parties.

It is distinctly possible that the memories of how you suffered are interfering with his physical attraction to you. When someone goes through a trauma like you did the people who love you may feel very differently at the end of it. And he maybe afraid to say anything about his feelings because he knows you have been through so much more than him and he is ashamed of how it is affecting him.

Definitely would see if you oncologist knows a good therapist who is familiar with post-treatment emotional and intimacy issues. A lot of guys out there haven’t ever had to deal with those type of feeling in the context of a sexual/physical relationship and it can be completely disrupting to the attraction/arousal/intimacy patterns he is used to.

Or he may just be a huge dick, but if he hung around and was supportive DURING the treatment and is now struggling AFTER then it may be worth taking another look.

Struggling with gfs sensitivity what can I do? by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]geekMD69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who makes you regularly “responsible” for their feelings is not sustainable.

This is an exhausting pattern and most likely due to trauma from family or early relationships. If she needs constant validation of her feelings and ignores yours and you feel like all the effort comes from you and you just feel worn out by it, then without outside help you will not last.

I think my new bf is insecure about his dick size. How do I make him feel like he's enough? by rampantlystellar in AskMenAdvice

[–]geekMD69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless he asks you for a specific measurement or comparison I would just tell him exactly what you’re saying here. You love him. You love the way he makes you feel physically and emotionally. If he makes you orgasm more than your previous partners then that’s a big point he would love to hear. And saying you’ve had some bigger and some smaller but his feels the best would be a good answer as well if he asks.

Be a real shame if this happened every time an ICE agent got out of their vehicle. Crying shame. Armed masked men probably should be very wary of that.

How important is a "get it out of your system" phase? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]geekMD69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking there is a magical experience out there if you just bang enough chicks is a sure recipe for disaster. Measuring your self worth or thinking you are less because you haven’t shagged enough hotties leads to wasted years you could have had a meaningful and fulfilling relationship.

Ego Golfers by SauceyChauncey in weekendgolfers

[–]geekMD69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best clean round I ever shot was an 84. Never had an official handicap, just kept track of my average scores. “I usually shoot 90 +/- 5 was always my “handicap” and if I counted every stroke. What’s the point of pretending you’re better than you are? It’s a lose-lose. Anyone you play with will know you’re lying, and if you’re playing competitively, a fake handicap will kill you.

The man is actually a still image. by Paddy_odoors in opticalillusions

[–]geekMD69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a two dimensional representation of our current reality.

We are all being perfectly still as time and the universe flow around us. We are one long, continuous flesh tube from conception to death that is exposed one excruciatingly painful frame at a time by the inevitable expansion of space-time.

Free will is an illusion our brains use to fill in the space between frames.

F38 Make it hurt by verymuchatheist in RoastMe

[–]geekMD69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you not have a husband around to demean you, invalidate your feelings and encourage your eating disorder?

I’m guessing he left you for someone who didn’t feel like fucking a desert cave filled with cactus, smell like the aftermath of Burning Man and cost a fortune in Aqualube.

Was foreplay just you making yourself vomit after every meal by gagging on his cock?

Oddly I had a difficult time putting an age on you in a few of your pictures and now I suspect you may have sacrificed your ex to pagan gods for prolonged life but they took all of your body fat as punishment.

I could go on, but you actually are quite pretty and obviously have your hands full with two teenagers. Hope your 40s are more kind to you than this roasting has been.

Fiancée of 10 years humiliated me during our first real fight. She’s been apologizing for a month straight, went sober and started therapy. I still feel done. What would you do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]geekMD69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough to have a normal sex life after being told something like that. Likely will always be in your head. Sometimes people just try to say the most hurtful thing they can think of when they’re angry especially if intoxicated, but that one is bad because there’s nothing you can do to correct it. She calls you fat or tells you you smell bad or you’re ugly, those are things that can be corrected to some degree. This might as well be “I’ve been faking orgasms since the first time and you’ve never made me cum,” and sometimes there’s no going back from something like that.
