Today, I learned how awful intertrigo smells. I spent a ton of money and years of my life to become a health care provider apparently to treat the yeast infection between an obese woman's fat folds. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to finally come to terms with the fact that I am obese when the doctor told me that my weird smell was not an infection but mold growing between my fat rolls. FML
Today, I noticed a disgusting, cheesy smell and spent all day wondering what it was. I later found out that it wasn't coming from my feet, but from my belly button. My surgery wound got infected. I'm a germaphobe. FML
Today, I had to give a massage to an obese person with rank smelling fungus growing in between their skin folds. They tipped me two dollars. My hands still smell. FML
Today, I've been having persistent fungal infections and was getting treated by a male gynecologist. I had to go in to give vaginal swab tests. I washed and cleaned before I left, but when I got on the doctor's table I already had so much discharge. The doctor asked, "Is it the medicine?" I had to say no. FML
Today, I found out that I have a bacteria causing me to smell bad. For the last three years, strangers would say that I stink, I thought it was because I'm a smoker and they could smell cigarettes from my clothes, only to find out that people could smell my vagina through my pants. FML
Today, my doctor informed me that my severe body odor has no cure, no treatments, and is caused by… eating food. Not any specific food, just food. So either I can stop eating entirely, or I can smell like rotting fish in an outhouse. FML
Today, my grandmother loudly announced that she has a yeast infection. Under her breast. She attempted to show me. FML
Today, after two rounds of antibiotics, I got a yeast infection. My husband started calling me "Yeasty." FML
Today, I once again had to clean up a shower and bathroom covered in feces, because of client with incontinence. It smelt so bad that I couldn’t hide my reaction; the client saw my face and I could see the embarrassment on theirs. I spent the rest of the day feeling like an asshole. FML
Today, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a yeast infection. It’s been 3 hours since I’ve been home and my husband won’t stop referring to me as "cheddar puss". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Uncertain on how to vote here, on one hand that sucks, but then again it is a job you trained for. Actually, I made up my mind. You became a health care provider by choice, and by obviously knowing it wasn't all going to be sunshine, rainbows, and unicorn farts.

Yeah. You became a doctor and had to treat someone's legitimate medical condition. Did you think you'd be treating nothing but supermodels with severe nymphomania?

But every job has its ups and downs, just because you chose to be a roofer doesnt mean you cant express a little frustration in the peak of summer. Op just needed to vent a little, she'll get used to it.

I do agree that a person should be able to express frustration...but in the right setting. I imagine that after reading this, a number of people are now going to feel too ashamed to seek medical treatment for fear of being judged by their own doctor. This is not the right setting for a doctor to complain.

I doubt it will be enough to worry about.

Uh... an anonymous venting website? This is exactly the place for that stuff. Doctors are human. They shouldn't be forced to hide their opinions to the point that even vague, anonymous venting is not allowed.

104, I think people are taking issue with the way it's worded as though having done training means they shouldn't have to deal with health issues they deem to be "icky". Simply saying you've had to go through this is enough without the attitude.
justsomgirl 4
See now 104, here's the problem with your logic. While a doctor is, in fact, human...they also take an oath to do no harm. If a doctor's inappropriate venting causes someone to be too ashamed to seek medical treatment for a real medical problem...I would say that doctor did some harm. So yeah, it's kind of their job to hide their opinions when it comes to things like this.

What the .. that's nasty.

You knew what you were getting into. That's the beauty with health care.. You never know what you're gonna get.

That comment is a little contradictory. They knew what they were getting into yet you never know what you're gonna get?

Absolutely correct. You know you're getting some nasty shit, but the exact nature of that nasty shit is unknown until you get it.

Ydi for not realizing that's the kind of shit you'd have to deal with on occasion.

I doubt I would have the same passion to help a morbidly obese person with questionable hygiene that I would to help a child with cancer. As a doctor you can't pick and choose who you treat (at least not in the UK where I'm from), but they are only human and will have preferences and private opinions of people with potentially self-inflicted/preventable conditions, just like anyone.

For the amount of money you make, I would GLADLY take your place. What's a few fat rolls?

Where in the fml does it say how much money they make?
