Today, I was told that I may die by the time I'm 30, and that I should Google the disorder because he doesn't know what it is for sure. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told by a doctor that I have a fatal disease, and that I should start making preparations for when I pass away. Then, another doctor showed up, panicking, and said that was meant for someone else with the same first name as me. The mini-heart attack I had at that moment almost killed me anyway. FML
Today, I was laughingly informed that I'm an overachiever, by my doctor who thinks I have more health conditions than anyone my age should have. Guess who was just diagnosed with another? FML
Today, at the age of 30, I was diagnosed with both sciatica and ADHD. I don't know whether to feel really old, or really young. FML
Today, after decades of 24/7 cognitive impairment and being made to feel like a hypochondriac by many doctors over the years, I learned I have a severe physical illness. I kept researching and discovered my own illness, found out which test to ask for, and finally showed doctors proof. FML
Today, my doctor informed me I was a fascinating patient. Why? I have "more health issues than a patient my age should." I'm 26. FML
Today, my doctor said I "might" have an enlarged heart and an irregular heartbeat. It "could" be seriously life-threatening and I "should" go to a specialist for further tests. My insurance refuses to cover my consultation with the specialist because the doctor's wording is too uncertain. FML
Today, I found out that I have a heart disease. When I went to tell my family, they all said that it should kill me faster so that I can donate my organs to my cousin. FML
Today, as I continue to experience more revelations about how fucked up my mental and physical health really are, I'm starting to feel as though I was destined to not live very long. If I were to list every mental health issue or chronic condition I have, it would likely be enough for an entire Wikipedia article. FML
Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML
Today, I was told by a doctor in no uncertain terms that, with all of my mental and physical health conditions and personality disorders, there is, "absolutely no way I can possibly live a normal life, unless a miracle occurs." Well, I guess I'll just go fuck myself, then. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, yet another example of the wonderful socialized medicine in Canada.

And you honestly think that doesn't happen in the states? I am Canadian, and have never heard anything of this sort EVER from any doctor... And I've had a LOT of doctors. Okay, so our system may not be perfect. There are areas of Canada where there is no doctor, for example. But mostly everyone has access to health care in Canada. I have cousins in the States who can't afford to take their children to the doctor when they are sick. I've heard horror stories of low income families having their children die because they could not afford health care. Not only are ALL of our health care needs covered through taxes, we also pay FEWER health care related taxes than Americans do. Why? Because in the States, they cannot charge you for emergency health care if you cannot afford it. Because so many people cannot afford basic health care, they wait until their problems become emergencies... And, once they're emergencies, they are paid for by taxes. So if you really, really think that your system is so much more superior to ours... Do some research.

Yahoo answers is probably one of the worst places to ask questions. You have to filter through all the idiots to find a real answer and then you still don't know if they have any clue what they're talking about.

get 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th professional opinion, since you're in canada, medical care is more affordable than the states so take advantage of it. Then google everything, so at the end that equals too 30 years, live until you're 30 to the fullest. Just make sure you don't accumulate bad karma, might bite you in the ass hard in your next life depending on your religion.

First-line doctors are not supposed to know everything about every condition - only House is able to do that! What they are supposed to do, beyond the simple-everyday ailments and spotting emergencies, is to refer you to someone with specialist knowledge. Medicine is far too broad for anyone to know everything. You need to find out from your doctor what field he considers your conditions to be in and who the best local specialists are. See one or more of them. If it's too obscure for them then get a referral to someone even more specialised. Keep getting referred until you reach one or more people you trust to handle your problem.

the doctor didn't know what the illness was... fine... but i'm pretty sure the doctor should not tell someone they are going to die at a fairly young age before even knowing what the **** is wrong with him. that doctor is a dumbass

I agree - that was clearly idiotic.
