Rude Doctors Experiences TikTok
All careers have their bad apples. However, a bad apple in the medical field can often be the worst, as a negative experience with a doctor can impact someone's life for years to come. And unfortunately, some medical professionals simply don't care how they speak to their patients... That's why when TikTok user @docta_pacman asked, "I'm bored. What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you?" Over 20,000 people of all ages took to the comments to share their experiences with doctors who acted downright RUDE. From not believing patients to hiding cancer diagnoses — here are 21 of their most shocking stories: If a doctor has ever said anything unhinged to you, feel free to tell us about it using this anonymous form! "When I was 12, I was diagnosed with Lupus. It attacked my brain, and I had to relearn how to do everything. I lost my memory and had tremors in my entire body. I also couldn't walk; it was Cerebellar ataxia." "After a year, the doctors were still stumped, so they asked my mom to leave the room and told me, 'You can quit the act and start acting right.'"—alexusrenee0731 "My mother and I are nearly identical. We also go to the same once, while I was getting a pap smear, he said, 'You really do look like your mom.'" "While my doctor ran my yearly physical, we chatted about my upcoming wedding. He said, 'Well, we may need to take another look at your thyroid and see if you need medication because nobody wants a fat bride!' I was 5'6" and 125 lbs at the time." "In my case, it was what my surgeon DIDN'T say: After surgery, I found out from a different doctor that my appendix was cancerous. When I brought it up to my surgeon at the follow-up, he said, 'Who told you?' He wasn't going to tell me that I had CANCER." —froehlich11 "My first neurologist told me to 'Come back when you have a real problem.' I have MS and was completely numb from the waist down." "My doctor said the reason the hypermobility in my ankles was so bad was because I wore a certain brand of tennis shoes, which were 'made for Japanese people,' and I have big American feet, so I need to wear another brand." "I get ear infections constantly because my ears retain water; it's been happening since I was a kid, and I was supposed to get corrective surgery, but never did." "Well, recently I've gained a lot of weight, so at my last doctor's appointment, she checked my ears and said that I get ear infections because I 'am so fat my ears are deformed.'"—fictionalshitpost "I had a doctor who took me into his personal office, sat me down in his chair, started rubbing my shoulders, and told me, 'Maybe you just need a real man in your life.' "When I suddenly started having seizures with no prior history, I went to my doctor. He said that I just wanted to make his day 'more interesting' and that 'as a woman,' I'm overly anxious." "I had a planned C-section with my youngest child, so I asked the doctor to tie my tubes while he was already in there. He said that doctors aren't able to do that." "I told him that my mom had it done when I was born, and I knew the technology existed. He asked, 'What if your baby dies?' I told him I wasn't interested in a replacement baby. Then he tried to use COVID to scare me out of it."—dizzylizzie82 "When I was 13, my doctor told me that if my periods were so bad, I should just get pregnant." "The first time I saw one doctor, he walked in and told me I needed to get a mole removed on my lip. I asked, 'Is it bad?' He responded with, 'No, it just takes away from your face because it's the first thing people see.'" "I have a hereditary blood disorder from my dad's side, and I sadly passed it to three of my children. In my defense, they didn't study the disease or perform genetic testing for it until 2009, and my youngest was born in 2002, so I didn't know the odds of passing it along." "Once, when I was in the ER with my son for an issue related to the disorder, the doctor said, 'The funny thing about hereditary issues is that they would die out if the people who had them stopped breeding.'"—2019nini1 "My OB told my husband, 'I put an extra stitch in there for ya,' and smiled while I was lying there with him between my legs after just giving birth to my son (who the nurse actually delivered)." "A doctor told me, 'If you stayed home and didn't have your kid in daycare, she wouldn't be sick.'" "My dentist asked me if my 'boyfriend' liked to tug on my nose ring like a ranch hand would do to a cow. I told him, 'No,' that my husband treats me with respect." "He responded, 'Checks weird girls always get married young and pop out babies left and right, just like a cow.'"—elenamedwards "I was losing weight rapidly and vomiting everything I tried to eat or drink, so I went to the doctor, who asked me, 'Are you sure you're not bulimic? A lot of young women are.' I had a total bowel obstruction due to undiagnosed Crohn's Disease." "When I was seven years old, a doctor looked me in the eyes and said, 'Your mom is going to either be dead in a few years or a vegetable.' She had a B12 deficiency, not a terminal illness… "I have a heart defect and have had four heart attacks, with the first being when I was 29. Last week, I went for a routine checkup and the cardiologist said, without even looking up from his chart, that I had three areas of weakness on my heart and the next one would be my last. Then he turned around and walked away." —janetteschafer "I was in the doctor's office, crying because of my diminished quality of life due to my chronic illness, and feeling like I'm a bad mom. He looked at me and said, 'Do you know the daily death rate? You should just feel happy you're alive.'" "I'm deaf and vision-impaired. I also don't have a thyroid and deal with a shoulder injury, yet the same doctor has told me three times that a breast reduction would make all of my problems go away." —ashleykimball21 Which one of these experiences shocked you the most?

I Flew to London to Donate My Bone Marrow, Then I Discovered Who It Was For
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Years after signing up to be a bone marrow donor, this woman was finally matched with a transplant patient—and she couldn't believe who it was for. Back in 2017, Mya Linklater signed up to the Anthony Nolan register, a charity that was set up in 1974 by Shirley Nolan to create the world's first stem cell register. As of 2024, they had over 909,000 potential donors who can be called upon to donate their bone marrow or blood stem cells for lifesaving transplants. Eight years after signing up, Linklater, 24, was stunned when she received an email in May 2025 to notifying her that she was a potential match for a patient on the list. Having been on the register for so long, Linklater, of Aberdeen, Scotland, wondered if she'd ever actually need to help. But when she finally got the opportunity, she told Newsweek that she felt "really excited" to save a life. "I filled in a medical update form and then a medical examiner came to my house to collect a blood sample to ensure that I was the perfect donor," Linklater said.

She was curious to find out more about the patient she was donating for, and that's when she learned that it was for a young baby with leukemia. Learning that made the process even more rewarding, as she could give this baby a shot at a fulfilling life. Soon after, she was on a 2-hour flight from Scotland to London for a preliminary medical appointment before proceeding with the all-important surgery in June. "It's a surgical procedure done under general anesthetic where doctors extract liquid marrow containing stem cells from the back of your pelvic bone, using a needle and syringe," Linklater told Newsweek. Bone marrow donation is used to obtain blood-forming cells (stem cells) to help someone with blood cancer or a blood disorder. Bone marrow is the liquid tissue in the center of certain bones, and it makes more than 200 billion new blood cells every day, according to The Cleveland Clinic. Unfortunately, approximately 18,000 people are told every year that they have a bone marrow disease which requires a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. While 30 percent of people in need of a donor can find a match within their immediate family, 70 percent of patients need donors from a register. People in the U.S. can register for the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) by attending a donor center or requesting an at-home test kit. Not everyone can be a donor, as certain conditions (such as HIV, cancer, diabetes and heart disease) will disqualify people, and being over the age of 60. While millions of people around the world are registered donors, there is still an overwhelming shortage. That's why Linklater decided to document the entire process to raise awareness and encourage others in the U.K. to join the Anthony Nolan register too. She then shared the video on her TikTok account (@myalinklater) in June, and it's gone viral with over 733,00 views and more than 112,600 likes at the time of writing. "The online response has been absolutely crazy. I have been inundated with kind and warm messages, and so many people love that I shared my story and have now joined the register themselves," Linklater continued. "The process is so rewarding, and I cannot emphasize how important it is to go and join the register." Mya Linklater, 24, before and after donating her bone marrow for a baby with leukemia.

She was back on her feet in no time and felt incredibly proud of herself for giving a young child a second chance at life. After sharing her experience online, many TikTok users praised Linklater for using her social media platform in such a positive way, and others thanked her for being so transparent. This has led to more than 2,500 comments on the viral post so far. To her delight, many people said they joined the register as a result of her video. One comment reads: "As a mom whose baby had a bone marrow transplant which saved his life, thank you." Another TikTok user wrote: "now this is influencing." Another person added: "A truly incredible thing to do. Thank you for sharing your experience, Mya." While one commenter replied: "Just joined because of your video!"
