Old-timer doctors pump steroids so hard it just looks like the medication is working
as someone who works in healthcare this is painfully real π the fluorescent lighting part had me SCREAMING
Isn't the second one just a hair loss prescription hot spot
The medication working so crazy well is because they're absolutely blasting you with antibiotics and steroids... Sure, some older hospitals have good doctors, but most old guys just keep prescribing hardcore drugs from decades ago without even looking at new research or treatment methods
But if the illness gets better that way, isn't it bad for your body? I'm genuinely asking because my neighborhood has exactly these two clinics and the old one actually heals faster so I usually go there... but if it's bad for my body I'll stop
Just because you get prescribed a ton of antibiotics or steroids doesn't mean it's good for you, so basically steroid creams and stuff, use them too much and your skin gets thinner, that's why you need break periods because the medication is so strong
As an individual you won't see immediate side effects on your skin so overusing strong meds and healing fast might seem good, but if you step back and look at the bigger picture, those kinds of prescriptions pile up and cause new diseases or antibiotic-resistant bacteria spreads, which is bad
If it's completely cured that's fine, but with skin it's rare to be completely curedβit's often just temporary relief and people get fooled
Ultimately it's not about using strong drugs to heal fast assuming you'll get better, it's about healing safely with medications that don't have side effects. Would you jump out the window just to get down from an apartment faster?
Because it's not actually healed
This right here lol
wait why do ALL dermatology offices have that one uncomfortable chair that's been there since 2008
There's one like the second type in Yangju too, a dermatology-urology specialist, and they're so damn good... if you go late you're waiting 1-2 hours easy
1. They ask about your cause and symptoms then go 'hmm... uh... hmm' and the appointment is over. At checkout the clerk is like 'but you came because you're in pain... right?' 2. You walk in and the doctor immediately tells you the cause and symptoms and you're like 'yeah yeah oh that's right' then you swipe the card and walk out with your prescription
If atopy or psoriasis looks somewhat serious just go to a university hospital dermatology clinic. Going to neighborhood clinics for a hundred years won't help.
This is facts. I was getting steroids constantly at the neighborhood clinic but went to Seoul National University Hospital and got diagnosed with cholinergic urticaria and cleared right up. Neighborhood clinics can prescribe but most don't diagnose properly
LMAOOO why is this actually so accurate π the waiting room energy is EXACTLY like this
The reason hospitals are such a headache is obvious just reading the comments lol. Weak medication effect so people say it's pointless, strong medication bad for your body so people complain about that too
Every time I see game footage I want to lose it too
not me recognizing my exact clinic in this video... they really said 'expose everyone' huh
honestly shocked they didn't mention the one lady who's been going there for 15 years and knows all the staff drama
this is giving small town clinic vibes and i'm not even mad about it, kinda wholesome ngl
