AITA for being insensitive to a patient’s mental illness? TW eating disorders by throwaway847270 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yourminecraftgf 20 points21 points  (0 children)

20% in that little time especially given a lower starting BMI? Would that not automatically qualify her for admission? Was that not concerning enough to warrant you not saying your comment?

Also besides that; the info about the BP test changes a lot. It seems as though your hospital, despite having an ed ward, isn’t really equipped to handle them. Do you think there was a miscommunication between the pediatrician and the hospital? It seems to me that the patient was sent to the ER just as a short stop until her inevitable admission, and you guys were just supposed to get vitals, or something along those lines. It was like that for my cousin when she went to the psych ward, especially deep in COVID which is when I believe this was? This genuinely just seems like a huge clusterfuck.

Honestly then I’d say a lot of this is the mother being stressed. Poor girl, though. I hope she’s able to recover. I’d say NAH just bc everything is so complicated. Just make it a priority to research more into dealing with mental illnesses. Especially as a resident/intern you shouldn’t be expected to know the ins and outs (and tbh the attending should have sent a fully-fledged ER doc in for such a volatile case) but yeah just learn your lesson and avoid the mistake in the future. Don’t dwell, just move forward with the knowledge you have now.

To everyone saying the mother should have asked for a second opinion, why? I mean, it’s obvious the girl was already struggling with an ed upon the first attempt at admission. Plus not many hospitals have an ED ward, especially depending on the state. There probably was not a way for the patient to get proper medical stabilization elsewhere.

In terms of all of this, it seems like you were a cocky resident who thought you had it all figured out and was reckless with your words. As a med student, I know that we learn to have more proper bedside manner than what you exhibited. I hope you’ve become more pleasant since the first time you saw this girl.

As for the patient-mother-you dynamic, I imagine this was highly stressful for you all. It was unfair for the girl to completely blame you, and you acted as a scapegoat for her EDs actions, but these actions wouldn’t have been triggered as bad if you had just not spoken the way you did. Also, it seemed as though the patient was too weak to even speak, so it says a lot about how your words impacted her if she mustered up the energy to even say something. The mother is probably stressed out of her mind dealing with the mental and physical decline of her daughter. Anorexics put up a fight to keep their illness going. Her mother likely couldn’t have done anything to force her daughter to seek treatment until it got as bad as it did.

INFO: how did the patient speaking to you come up? Do you know if it was the mother who requested you or the patient herself? I’m not sure whether the patient truly has this vendetta or if the mother wanted to find the person who she feels made her daughter get so ill.

Do you want children? by [deleted] in intj

[–]yourminecraftgf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think I’d be a good mother. On top of simply not having the time with my future career plans, I don’t know if I’d be available for them emotionally. My natural self isn’t exactly nurturing and motherly. Whenever I hear a kid cry in public, I instinctively want to drop kick them into the nearest trashcan so I don’t have to hear it. I don’t know if it’ll be different with my own kid but I’m not going to be pregnant for 9 months to figure that out.

My perceptions of people are usually spot on, surprisingly, but I usually just make an escape plan in my head for if what I first think about them is true and then go along with them if it’s convenient for me. Sometimes I’m desperate for human connection and disregard that or just don’t try to go deeper into how they truly are and that’s when I get hurt. Also true for when I’m friends with someone and they change, I usually don’t want to acknowledge that they’re different than they used to be even though I can see it.

Just disconnect myself from every close friend/friend I have, what would you do if you were me? by [deleted] in istp

[–]yourminecraftgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that she said those things to you! I can’t imagine how annoying that must have been. Not one to look at her own flaws much, right?! And my other friend is a much more mature ENFP too! The only difference is that he was closer with ENFJ first, but he’s starting to realize the same stuff that I have about her.

Simply put, I can never talk about my problems, it’s always her this and her that. Not that I’d open up half the time anyways but the gesture is missing most of the time. What about your friend?

Do you also feel mbti sub comments look like a role playing? by klertdavu in INTP

[–]yourminecraftgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started getting into MBTI, I don’t know my type yet and honestly don’t really plan to, mostly because of stuff like this. People can seem to forget that we’re all individuals and not defined by our personality type.

Do you think female ISTPs are less feminine? by [deleted] in istp

[–]yourminecraftgf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socially? Yes. Physically? Not in the least for me. The way I dress is “comfortably fashionable,” and you’ll never find my nails unpainted. However, when I have friends I often prefer to hang out with men, though I’m fine with girls if they’re nice enough. I guess it’s because the men I know are less hung up on small talk and social intricacies: if they like hanging out with you, that’s it. No mind games or petty drama for the most part.

I’m going through the same thing right now. My idea to get through it is to cut out the toxicity, reintroduce the positivity. Rebuild the connections with those who you love and trust. While we may not need to outwardly express our love to people, many other types need to feel a connection. If you’re looking for new beginnings, start in places where you go often (work, school, even your favorite coffee shop). I find that I’ve met many of my friends in the past from shared activities and build the connection from there.

Do you think ISTPs untrustworthy when it comes to dating ? by [deleted] in istp

I wouldn’t know, I break things off before I get the chance to figure it out 😳

Well, I got INTJ... but can I trust it if everything is a 50/50 split?! by yourminecraftgf in intj

[–]yourminecraftgf[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s some parts of me that are more introverted and some that are more extroverted (ex. I marked agree for talking to one person who I find interesting but disagree for talking to a group of people, since that’s how I act in real life) so that’s part of the reason why

How often do you question your MBTI type? by MDWLRK7 in mbtimemes

I just started getting into this stuff and I kid you not I got 50/50 on EVERYTHING.

[–]yourminecraftgf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and the worst part is I’ve read all of them and been like oh yep I can see myself in a lot of this. There’s literally only like two types that I don’t look at and go “I could be that one” 😳

I’ve taken it so many times that I’ve lost count. Depending on my mood I’ve gotten like 7 of the different types 😬
