No, but it's the same hospital.
If you're curious why I'm going there, I wrote about it in Casual Conversation- https://lemmy.world/post/12194311
Long story short: I haven't been able to eat any solid food for over six months and no one knows why.
(Please no medical advice, I am begging you. The general you, not you specifically.)
Have you tried chewing it?
I know you're joking, but I am literally unable to.
Nothing is more frustrating than people giving unsolicited medical advice. I've IBD and I mentioned on a post about people buying cheap frozen food why some people do it. I explained that I literally can't do prep, cook and watch the stuff cooking due to the symptoms when having a flare up. Wouldn't you know I got the typical reply that I should learn to cook (I know how) and eat healthily and seek medical advice (I've a specialist nurse I can contact at any time and it's difficult to eat anything when in constant pain and I feel nauseous after eating) so I feel you dude with not wanting to hear it at all no matter how well meaning some people are.
And they really are well-meaning, I know that, but it's so tiring to say "yes, we've been over that. It's not that. I don't fit those symptoms." or whatever over and over.
I hope you find a solution for your IBD that helps you, I'm sure that's really awful.
Oh but armchair doctoring is so fun (for everyone else). It’s like Guess Who: House M.D. edition.
Believe me, I've noticed.
