This is the problem with modern medicine. Opinions are weighed heavily, rather than doing studies to prove what is and is not true. Thumbs down for me, this guy seems biased.
😊 why do doctors have to tell us what college they graduated from? When they get sued and they do something wrong they don't tell you what college they're from and neither does the hospital. Elon musk didn't go to college and neither did Einstein
Good Lord why don't you stop the addiction of pain pills .I'd rather smoke and be addicted to weed plus tell me when someone die from weed.talk about something dangerous to be addicted to
I developed a complicated seizure disorder following my second bout with meningitis. I embarked on a 15-year nightmare odyssey of anti-epileptics, steroids (to combat the intractable migraines that came with it) and pain meds. None of the epilepsy meds worked, but the Drs forbade me to stop. The name of my disorder is Complex partial seizure disorder with intractable migraine syndrome. I went from hospital to hospital, even resorting to participating in studies. None of the meds worked at all. 20-50 seizures a week, of all kinds. I tried diets, considered having a Vega-nerve stimulator implanted in my body. The Drs finally said, well the best we can do is to keep you comfortable, this is your life from, now on. I eventually decided to wean myself off of all my meds. This took a year, maybe longer. It was that, or just die, I have no words for the suffering I went through. I was a young woman with children, my husband left, my mom moved in to care for me. Well, I saw significant improvement as I came off of the anti-epileptics, and I could once again think! My sons wanted me to try marijuana, to which i was staunchly opposed, I believe my exact words were "that's just a bunch of hippie rhetoric". They wouldn't leave it alone and brought me literature to read and movies to watch. My main concern was the legality of it, I wasn't a drug user, and I didn't think it would work. I was a Christian mother, and did my best to set a good example, I still am. lol One day I am sitting there with my son and begin to have a petit mal, during these I am conscious but can't move or talk, however I am fully aware of what's going on around me. My son goes and gets a pipe and commands inhale! It brought me right out of the seizure. I think maybe it's a coincidence. Long story short it was not a coincidence. I started smoking a small amount of cannabis daily. The seizures went from having nearly 20 a week to 1 or 2 a year, but most important of all, the partial seizures, where I would get confused and were the most traumatic for me, completely went away! To be clear this is my story of desperation, and the healing that I pursued on my own. (after 15 years of myriad hospitals and neurologists) I don't recommend it for you!! Especially the part where I came off all anti epileptics. I had adverse reactions to all of them. They made me look like I was drunk, the "stupid seizures" were intractable, and the hideous migraines that lasted 4 to 6 weeks, nearly beyond bearing, and I still had 20-50 gran mals too, while on 3 anti-convulsants a day. I literally had nothing to lose, I was an invalid. I was very careful, weaning myself off. Reducing by tiny amounts over a year. * I dont recommend this** I just know it helped me. So here I am 15 years later, seizure free mostly, able to think normally (praise God) and I have regained my coordination. I do not even feel cannabis, in fact it's weird, I never did very much, I don't want to feel it. It makes me feel normal. It affects everyone different. I have an odd metabolism, for example pain medicines hype me up, diphenhydramine does too. I am convinced the anticonvulsants were causing my seizures to be worse, but no one ever thought of that. Not one single Dr, and I like a good little patient, did exactly what my Dr said. I always tell my health care professional that I use cannabis for my seizure disorder. I have had multiple surgeries with no problems whatsoever, though I think they have to use more anesthesia, like the good Dr said. I am a little lady maxing out at 105 lbs. at my heaviest, so they were surprised. I am a big proponent of medical marijuana for certain people and certain situations. Furthermore, I am angry that I have had to figure out the dosage, best way to administer, strains, all on my own! Why don't any Drs know this stuff!? ( Med schools, funded by big money, who own the pharma companies. Yes, it really is true. ) They certainly don't want us to have any knowledge of the healing powers in nature. That said I am very thankful for medicines and Dr.s and nurses, they are human though, just like we all are. I jokingly say I should be a patient in studies for medical cannabis. If I go without it for 2 weeks, which I have; I start having seizures again. I am not addicted, in the typical sense. I often go for days and forget to smoke, a week even. What reminds me to smoke, is the return of low-level seizure activity. Cannabis is a powerful medicine, a natural one, but it doesn't benefit everyone, by any means! Some people get panic attacks, high heart rate, apathy etc Patients should proceed with caution. It definitely has adverse effects as well, for a lot of people. I have no idea why it worked for me, but may not work for the next person?
p.s. I would love for the good Dr to make a video on why people react so differently to medications. Our one size fits all approach, is as he says broken. So how do we as patients know how to manage such a system?
Sure is funny people been smoking for for a long long time before it ever become legal never was a problem smoke 61 years myself mini operations no problem
Got faded before going into surgery. Had to calm the nerves. Still was anxious af to the point I was turning pale. So the nurse gave me a shot of something that literally made me feel like you could tell me you were gonna chop my leg off. And I would be just fine with that. I let them now that I had used marjuana but it didn't seem to affect how the other medications affected me. Idk maybe I'm just lucky
Son what Dr is saying, if you take weed and it helps symptoms, and the symptoms come back when one stops taking weed, they're addicted? By that logic, since if I stop taking my ill have my depression symptoms return, I'm an addict!? Makes ZERO sense. I hate when people with letter behind their names spread false crap.
You might be right about adverse reactions when administrating drugs that patients are not use to but for me, I don't mix any medicines with weed and I'm as level as the horizon. However, I know from past experiences that weed doesn't mix well with alcohol so I'm sure there are other substances that don't mix well also
I can't think of a better thing that older patients can do than "quitting the weed." I remember vivid experiences with vomiting and chills following anesthesia back when I was young and was a daily weed smoker 50 years ago.
being honest with your dr and those treating you is all you need to do although i was once told it was ok to use the medical marijuana but not to use any recreational marijuana before surgery
Here's my NEAR DEATH experience related to the uses of smokeable MJ, liquid CBD, and alcohol. I am a social cannabis smoker. Whatever is passed around I would take 2, or 3, hits. Therefore, I have a broad spectrum of THC/CBD/other chemical stored in my system. I'm also a casual beer/wine drinker.
SO HERE WE GO; – Wed. just past, I had a Colonoscopy procedure; – The anesthesia used was PROPOFOL; – My 'Post-Procedure' information sheet EMPHASIZE D not to consume any alcohol for 24 HOURS AFTER; I followed this warning.
My Colonoscopy was at 11:30 a.m., Wed. Nov. 29th; – A DAY AND A HALF LATER, I arrived at my local lounge in a very rural community; – I'm 62 years old, 160 lbs., and in EXCELLENT physical condition; – I rarely drive and prefer to cycle, walk/hike most days in the maintenance of health/stength; – I live exactly a HALF HOUR walk to get home from the bar.
In preparation for the procedure, I was instructed to consume ONLY CLEAR FLUIDS FOR 1 2/2 DAYS PRIOR to the 'scope-up-the-poop-shoot; – Post- procedure (Day of.), and the day after, I was only capable of eating very small amounts of regular food; – The point being, with very liitle to eat a day and a half after the G.I.-scope, the absorbtion rate of the alcohol I drank was much more rapid than usual. It amounted to the equivalent of 6 drinks over a 2 1/2 hour period; – Between 8:30–11:30 I consumed 2 glasses of wine, followed by 4 pints of beer.
I left the bar, on foot at 1:30 p.m. (BY MYSELF), with a gentle-liitle beer/wine feeling.
MY TYPICAL HALF HOUR WALK HOME BECAME A LIFE THREATENING NIGHTMARE.
15 minutes (Half way.) into my walk I SUDDENLY began to feel EXTREMELY UNWELL; – Very drowsy, cloudy brain, heart racing, weak kneed-heavy on my feet/exhaustion, laboured breathing, AND, SUDDENLY BEGAN PRODUCING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CLEAR/THICK/MUCUS from my SINUS CAVITY; – I could barely keep up snorting/spitting an incredible volume of SLIME.
About 2 minutes later (Walking very slowly, at this point.) I KNEW I WAS IN SERIOUS/LIFE THREATENING TROUBLE; – Stopped. Not capable of walking any further. … … * I SUDDENLY COLLAPSED IN A HEAP on the left shoulder of the road; I deliberately laid on my side, cheek against the ashphalt. All alone on a country road at 11:45 p.m.; – Breathing laboured. Heart pounding out of my chest. Clearly mucus out of my nose and throat. Side of face/hair laying in a pool of snot; – 100% incapable of moving, let alone standing up.
For about the 1st 5 minutes about a half dozen cars drove past me (Clearly visible to them.) Likely the 7 or 8 people remaining at the bar when I left at 11:30 (Midnight was closing time.); – Then there was no more traffic.
I THEN FELL DEEPLY-UNCONSCIENCE; – CAME TO A HALF HOUR LATER; – MINUS 2 DEGREES, CELSIUS; – Swipe the head-snot off face, out of hair, and stood back up (With great difficulty.); – Did my best to shake-it-off. Extremely weak/shaky.
I WAS SO LOOPY/OUT-OF-IT THAT IT DIDN'T EVEN DAWN ON ME TO CALL (911) OR EVEN NEARBY FRIENDS/NEIGHBOURS; – All I was thinking was I had to get home, and inside from the cold; – At this point in time (12:15-:30ish.) on a normal walk it would only take me ANOTHER 15 MINUTES TO GET HOME; – 2/3 of the remainder of my route is a VERY STEEP HILL.
I knew I could drop dead at any moment, so I began walking at a very slow measured pace. Stopping frequently; – What would have taken my 7 or 8 minutes walking up the hill took me over an hour.
I had to stop all together. KnewI was UNABLE to go any further. Physically IMPOSSIBLE; – I was CERTAIN I was going to collapse and knock-of-unconscience again; – I got away from the side of the road and ducked into a pull-off to a bank of local mailboxes. Urinated under a tree. Still blowing mucus out of my face; – Knees giving out again. Manages to get back to the concrete pad under the mailboxes. Latched onto it to hold myself up.
SURE ENOUGH, I COLLASPED AGAIN AND WAS VERY QUICK, AND TOTALLY UNCONCIENCE; – I thought to myself, before going down, that this is were I'm about to die.
When I came to again the sun was coming up (5:30 a.m.); – Again, my face/hair resting in a puddle of snot.
Regained some of my faculties and strength just marginally; – Not far from home now. Hill not as steep. Began walking again at a snails-pace. Stopping frequently to sit on the guardrails.
FINALLY GOT HOME AT 6:30 A.M. FRIDAY, DEC. 1st. Live alone. Fell asleep on the couch; – Got up again at 12 noon; -Feeling half-better, but far from well.; – Had a decent size bowl of homemade beef stew. Shave/shower/dressed; Embarked on a 50 minute walk to work (2p.m.-9); – Plus 10 degrees, celsius.
This being, Mon., Dec. 4th now, feeling much better (About 75%).
Glad to still be above-ground; – Still have a lot a living/loving to do.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s really helpful and potentially lifesaving.. ❤ I love weed but i learned from experience NOT to use it before anesthesia.. just don’t.. Emergence effects can be devastating
And once I decide I'm going to have exploratory surgery for a strangulated/incarcerated occult hernia I pity the fool who attempts to talk me out of something I am already doing.
What concerns me most about marijuana is that the most vulnerable populations are also the sickest populations and for me it is not enough to simply not be anti-marijuana but rather that people who happen to use marijuanas lives matter despite conflicting opinions on where the disease ends and medicine really begins is in the community.
But what about the stigma around marijuana? Doctors change their surgical reccomendation based on whether patients use cannabis. You only mentioned the stigma around mental illness & crime. They are one and the same, marijuana is a mixed bag, kind of like the real world that's why it scares superstitious people. This is the problem with giving marijuana as a gift and it not being worth money. "In God We Trust" Not in Dr Biden We Trust.
I've been on Dilaudid 2-4 mg q 8 hrs prn x10 yrs now. I have a brain filled with over 100 cavernomas that leak and bleed at random. My last bleed had three bleeding at once. Since then I developed central pain syndrome that progressed rapidly and now affect me from my shoulders to my toes from feelings of burning alive to frozen into the bones, so that's why I take it. My doctor told me to take it ATC, to stay on top of the pain and as a result, I am functioning again. When taking it prn, the pain would get out of control and I'd be sobbing from the pain. I want to try to try the prn times again, but the side effects of itching would get so bad my CPS would end up so much worse. I've been taking this dose for years, haven't had any increases, and I have no itching. I don't feel any kind of addiction and know there's probably a physical dependency. I know people are starting to try Ketamine for CPS, but just don't know enough about it. What do you recommend. My stomach is now filled with polyps and I'm scared to death of more strokes and stomach cancer. The biopsies are showing fundal polyps. I've dropped meds from 12/day to 5/day. I want off of everything, accept my seizure meds, of course. What can you recommend for this dilemma. I am an RN and have seen addiction and I think it's the fear of that, that keeps me in check, along with never having addictive tendencies. I quit smoking cold turkey after 12 years. I just don't know what to do and I'm frightened of the mess and my future at 66.
I've smoked my whole life an in process of quitting an I appreciate the truth thank you very much

I personally don't believe marijuana is addictive but I do believe there are addictive personalities.

You can be addicted to anything but marijuana is not a biologically addictive set of compounds

I wonder what he thinks about dabs cuz
bros chatting absolute shit just coz he has a degree 💀
Thank you Dr.! Appreciate the frank honesty!❤️👍🏼

OBVIOUSLY NOT A DOCTOR. OBVIOUSLY A LIAR.
Thank you Doc. Good to know 4 all tha smokas 😊

Beautiful message doc thank you so much i'm listening
Dear Docter, maybe you could do a vidio on caffeine and how it destroys people who are allergic and these missfits on public media who push it?
