Ignorant things people have said to you

[angela515]

Hate people like that.

I know polite society wouldn't condone this- but first I would have told him to stfu- then gf himself, then he was going to hell for being a pecker!! geeze!

I've had some awful things said to me about dialysis....but the winner of them all was from a man who I met while I was visiting an old friend in a nursing home.  I had already been transplanted and had previously been in the hospital with rejection.  This man was the roommate of the friend I was visiting.  When he found out that I had received a kidney from a friend of mine, he insisted on telling me that I was bound to go straight to HELL because I had taken the soul of another person when I got her kidney.  AND THEN....he proceeded to tell me that the friend who donated would never be able to make it to Heaven because she was "no longer complete."  He said that even the process of dialyzing was a way for doctors to make more money and what I should've done was pray about it because God can fix all things!!!  I've never been so insulted in my life!!!

*Ding ding ding*  I think we've got a winner folks,  that has got to be the most IGNORANT thing anyone can ever say    I am sorry you even had to listen to this ignorant person Highlite,  geeeeze, some people

Ummm, if that is true to what he said, then why is here there in the care of people. He could just pray it away couldn't he?
That sucks donkey balls that there are people like that, Idiotic moronic asswipes!

This week I went to my Bunko group. One of my friends mentioned she had to re-new her drivers license here in California and she told us she decided against signing a donor card because she's afraid they will "jump the gun" and take organs prematurely. She said she can't figure out why anybody would want to sign a donor card. She knows I'm on a kidney donor transplant list. I just smiled and said,"I guess some people feel that way." How do you educate someone like that?

Oh geeeez..................LOLOLOL  What a Fruit Loop!!  I would have played with his head a little and told him every time he cut his toenails or cut his hair he wasn't a "complete" person and was going to hell too.  I would have told him every time he farts that's his eternal soul leaving him or something just as stupid.

you have to wonder where some people get their ideas from, sometimes.
other times, all you can do is shake your head and walk away.
the problem is that 'healthy' people don't give much thought to illness and they don't even want to hear about it, most of the time. some will even react violently, if you mention your condition, and try to make themselves feel better by implying that sick people are being punished for some transgressions or 'sins.' that kind of stipidity doesn't seem too healthy, to me, at least, mentally healthy.
people are pretty darn weird.

I found out from this guy's exwife (who visited him quite often at the nursing home ) that this guy was so nutty that even the CHURCH he went to and was part of chose to "disown" him and kick his lousy ass out of the congregation.  I really couldn't stop laughing when I heard that piece of news.....  I don't think that'll get him any closer to Heaven.....    Oh wait...that's right....God loves him.....Maybe he'll just pray his ungrateful ass there......  

[Chris]

South Park movies comes to mind when you said that. Depends if your familiar with South Park though where Kenny is on his way to Heaven and near the top is a button to push for accessto Heaven. He pushes it and get's ACCESS DENIED! and is taken to Hell.

Wow...thats just total idiocy. That guy must not realize the concept of being buried or cremated, and the fact that you can't take anything with you.

Excellent point Josh *ahem*  Patton

People just need to be a little more sensitive. Not everyone has the same views.  I could spend all day ranting about people.

[paddbear0000]

Well, I just got back from the eye doctor's and I've got 2 of 'em for ya! Please excuse any typos as my eyes are VERY dilated! I had an assistant tell me about an herbal drink that stops kidney failuer!! Puh-leez! This was my first time to see this doctor and when he first walked in and read my chart, he said "but you're way too young to be diabetic and too young to be in kidney failure." Lord, what a visit!   

[angela515]

   I love that "your way too young..." I like to say stick it up you *&^!!! If i'm too young, take it back away from me, dipshyt.

[goofynina]

Oh geeeze, how sad is that, for a doctor to tell you something so stupid, what a moron 

[Wattle]

I was at my nieces Baptism last weekend and sitting talking to some friends of my sister-in-laws. One of her friends husband decided to come and quiz me on my health. This man would be in his 50's and until this time I thought him to be intelligent. He has known from the start that I was on dialysis but had no clue about PD, so I tried to educate him. Hard task, some people have no clue about medical procedures.

He went on with his verbal diarrhea about how I am too young for all this..... then he asked me if I never get offered a kidney how long was I expected to live? He assumed I was given a time frame of dying. What the?  I said I had no plans to leaving the planet just yet. MORON   

[goofynina]

Isnt it sad (yet funny) that someone who thinks they know it all really doesnt know Jack Schitt?  Hey, thanks to Chris, i now know i know Jack Schitt, lol,

 To quote Mark Twain..... (with a small change)

"Rumors of my (imminent) demise have been greatly exaggerated."

Okay, I got a couple of good ones.

After parking in the disabled spot and putting my sign up, some woman had the gull to say to me with a look of disdain, "You don't look handicapped!"  As if you can tell by looking!

Another patient thought you could lose body weight through dialysis.

A complete stranger looked at my fistula scars and made a comment in a hushed tone to the person they were with abt thinking I was an IV drug user.

After my last transplant somebody said, "I'm so glad you're cured." 

"Here's your sign!"  People can be sooooo stupid!

[okarol]

I was telling Jenna about this thread at dinner and she said people always surprised her about how little they knew about kidney failure. When she was a senior in high school a guy who was visiting from another school saw her fistula on her upper arm and said "Whoaa, what have you been doing to yourself??" She said "Uh, nothing. I am on dialysis," but he had no idea what that was. She attempted to explain it, but it was a pretty awkward moment.

   I have had a handicap sign since I was 15/16, and I have mine for life... so I get looks ALL the time.. old people, staring, making comments... I simply respond "You know, not just old people are handicap." They look at me again, "I don't see one thing wrong with you..", I say "Please, live with my body just 1 day, c'mon.. I bet you will be singing a different tune!!"

My EX husband voiced this belief to me several times in the course of our marriage. I guess since I had only ever had living donor transplants he figured it just didn't matter. He's a jerk AND an idiot, though.

[donnia]

I get asked alllllll the time how long I have to get a transplant.  I tell them 2 to 3 months LOL.  They never know I am being a smart a**.  Ask a stupid question... get a stupid answer!

The teacher I work with was talking to another coworker of ours.  The coworker said she could not believe I was working.  The teacher said... oh, she is on dialysis now.... she is all better.  WTF???  What a genius!

[livecam]

He's a jerk AND an idiot, though.

I can relate.
