yo the fact that she was literally dying and blamed it on her period just shows how much women suffer lmfaoaoaoao

skinny dipping in the hawaiian ocean, while crying at the moon about mac miller sounds like such a tumblr post

I hate doctors and nurses who are unsympathetic and careless to their patients. They should be fired.

moms be like “ITS BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN PHONE”

Just think...... while going through all the She was ALSO on her period

* is dying* * got period* "that makes sense"

Caitlin: *catches rare disease* Every school nurse: have an ice pack and a bandaid

imagine discharging a patient who's in septic shock... please sue them

You know what they say... Don't go chasing waterfalls. *I'll see myself out*

Shell + anklet = shanklet. Don’t get shanked.

*actually starts to die* *gets period* "Haha that makes since."

doctors: doesnt help her with her fever* mom: breaks her fever* we know who the doctor is...

grew up in Hawaii, I was taught very very young you don't go hiking or swimming anywhere out here with an open cut....ever.

i could have a arm missing and get my period and be like "oh that makes sense"

Can we all just take a second to appreciate moms!! Her mom flew all the way to Hawaii just to get her and fly all the way back! A 12-13 hour flight!! That’s insane!! There’s NOTHING a mom won’t do for her baby!! And it’s such an awesome thing!!

All the VSCO girls are quaking

Am I the only one watching the time change in the background...?

You should sue that hospital for negligence, collect your coin sis, it would most likely be an easy case and prevent other patients from getting the same “treatment” you got

Girl....you're tough. The first sign of legs aching, fever, chills, I would have been yelling at the top of my lungs to my friends, "Take me to the freaking hospital; I'm dying." With the throwing up of blood and the worry about meningitis, they would have had to physically drag me out of that hospital. So glad that you're okay...

*eats kit kat* her : oh no i have diabetes

When you’re seriously not feeling good: You don’t want your man You don’t want your siblings You don’t want your friends You want your mom

Omfg sue that hospital!!!!! Trust me. A medical mistake killed my dad. Get well soon. Poor girl!

*pUt a wEt bLuE pApEr tOwEl oN iT* - every British primary school ever

This is my only story time i sat through and listened and i never seen this channel before

shaking my way downtown, dying fast, anklets wack, I’m hospital bound. do-do-do-do-do

this is the first time i sat through a 30 minute storytime.

Skin is the one of the most vital organ we have... I really dont think about that too much until I hear stories like this.

Your an EXTREMELY lucky girl Caitlin. My father had leptospirosis (also known as Wheels Disease here in Australia) he was in his late 40’s and about 110-120kgs and pretty healthy and fit. He got it by pig hunting in sugar cane and getting cuts on his legs and feet. He got all the symptoms that you did, but he didn’t go to a doctor as soon as you. He ended up in hospital on life support, and went from 110-120kgs to about 65kgs, and his whole body literally went Simpson’s yellow from his liver shutting down. Our local hospital got a emergency helicopter to fly a specialist in to take him to a major hospital and as soon as he took one look at dad he said he’d probably be dead before they got there. A couple days later the lady who was looking after me and my brother (dad was a single parent) got a call the hospital to bring us in to say goodbye as they were sure dad was going to die. They even got a priest in to give him his last rights. He ended up pulling through thankfully. Thank your lucky stars hun, and best wishes for your recovery

Medical student here. You were so unlucky. Not only did you get a very rare disease, but of those patients who contract it, only a small percentage get an advanced version of it called Weils disease, which is what you had (liver inflammation, blood platelets are low, etc). About 5-15% die from it, if they do not receive treatment. Glad to see you better!

“And I started Googling... ‘do I have diabetes?’” Literally everyday of my life as a hypochondriac.

*goes to hospital 3 times* Fever: gets worse *mom enters the chat* *mom does Spanish trick* Fever: goes yeet

Her: “I’m dying because of Hawaii” Also her: I’m gonna miss Hawaii so bad

Omg I’m dying😩 *gets period* Oh that makes sense

Did anyone else watch the time on the TV and realize how much editing was done

“It was like an m&m behind my ear” me: *checks behind my ears* 😩

The disease was called: leptospirosis and she got it from : a cut on her ankle basically got infected

Out of all places to be 1 star, A HOSPITAL ON AN ISLAND SHOULDNT BE ONE OF THOSE. Thats literally insane

Doctor: oh you have VERY low blood pressure and a HIGH fever* Hospital: sends her home with NOTHING*

School nurse: Here’s an ice pack.

It sounds like your friend had the hospitals mixed up.

*ON GOOGLE, THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS WITH THAT DISEASE INCREASED BY 2, AND THAT MEANS THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THEM IN THE NUMBER COUNT!!!!!!* 😃😃😃🌈🌈🌈

Moral of the story: don’t wear shell anklets

“If you didn’t know I was sick you would of thought I had AirPods in and listening to Shake It by Metro Station and busting it down” I lost it 😂

“I wasn’t shivering i was like on x games mode” I’m dead 😂😂

The fact they gave you Morphine when you already had low blood pressure is so infuriating to me. You should have been admitted the minute they thought you had a rare virus.

Girl, as a nurse, this is NOT okay. They should have not treated you that way.

my family, especially my mom, would've tried EVERYTHING to sue that hospital in Hawaii

“I need to lay the f*** down and go night night” I’m dead 😂

Getting sick on vacation is probably one of my worst fears

my school nurse be like put a bandage on your forehead, you're cured.

Glad that you are now well again. I'm SUPER GLAD that is was NOT... Dengue. The mortality rate for Dengue can be as high as 20%.

A whole group of KZfaqrs got Dengue in Hawaii a few years ago. Alli from Ctfxc was one of them. She also visited that same waterfall.

*almost dies* and still looks perfect

I can't believe the hospital wasn't more concerned when your symptoms were so bad. Makes me worried to go to Hawaii in case something ever happens to me.

When you’re a veterinary technician and called that she had leptospirosis from the title, but still watched the whole video. Glad you’re feeling better!

lol I had ‘growing pain’ turns out I have a autoimmune disease lol 😂 on god I couldn’t walk for 2 months

Finally decided to watch this bc it’s been in my recommended ALL WEEK.

im just immediately anxious i have a life theatening disease and not know it rn

bro at this point i would go to the 2 star hospital

You: “I’m dying” Doctors: “that’s great to hear, I’m happy to not help :D”

that time in the back ground kept me *disTraCtEd*

Doctor: Don’t take Tylenol....but take Tylenol

Literally every time I got sick, my moms presence made me feel 100x better. She drove 3 hours to see me when I had the flu and it went away the next day. Moms are the best💓

to all those mums out there with that telepathic medicine, major respect 😔✊🏼 also, glad you’re doing well, sounded like hell

As someone trained in phlebotomy...you NEVER wiggle a needle in someone’s arm. And if a patient tells you to remove a needle, you don’t say no?? Wtf

Me: KZfaq: puts you in my recommended Me: why not

OMG LEPTO !!!!! IM SHOOK When she said that my mouth literally dropped. I'm a vet student so I know this disease oh too well!

8:30 This is a little thing called "confirmation bias" It's where you form an explanation for something, then all of the evidence you examine confirms your explanation, and you ignore all the evidence that your explanation is wrong.

I'm a medical student so I really enjoy listening to these sorts of videos to get a better picture of what how illnesses impact patients, and not just the science and medicine side of things. I was irate every time I heard that they didn't prioritize your concerns about your health. Anyway, I'm low-key freaking out because guessed it was leptospirosis once you talked about being around animals. Big ego boost ;) So glad you're doing well, Caitlin!!

it should NOT take a week for lab results. They can get it back within the hour if they tried. sad that they were so lackadaisical about your condition.

As soon as I heard that you had a cut on your ankle.... Me: 😬

I am a mom. I stumbled onto your video. Your story made me cry. Glad you are feeling better!

My uncle died because he wasn't diagnosed right, he had leptospirosis but they said that he had something else.... So, I'm happy that you are fine!!!!

“Mistake number two” holds up one finger

this story was so interesting i watched the whole video without skipping any parts, which is rare 😂 hope you’re feeling better 💖 plus you got a new subscriber 😊

I love you cause you are soo down to earth. I am glad that you made it through your illness. Stay strong

Okay all my cuts are gonna be cleaned and disinfected no matter how small they are and where ever i am in the world

you gotta add (and almost died) at the end of the title. get that clickbait girl

Wooooow! You were so strong thru that whole thing. That's crazy, glad you're feeling better.

I’m so sorry this happened to you but I’m so happy you are feeling better! The way you told this story had me so invested and you are hilarious af 😂😂😂 feel better girl!

the clock behind you is distracting me lol...glad your okay...

Someone needs to sue that hospital

You're so lucky. Where I live leptospirosis is not that rare. And usually after the third day you're done, the medication doesn't work. You're super lucky to be here. I hope you feel better!

Wow you are amazing that you went through all of this... I’m glad you’re doing better. You’re an amazing story teller!

Moral of the story, listen to your body. With our healthcare system in the US, you must fight, you must advocate for your treatment, and for your health.

you can sue for malpractice due to negligence as they caused you unnecessary pain and distress, and discharged you when you presented with symptoms that required monitoring. also you might be able to sue for the fact that their actions caused your mother to have to fly to you, retrieve you, and then both fly back because they denied you appropriate medical resources.

I contracted leptospirosis just watching this. Jeez, hearing the symptoms made me feel them.

It’s funny how we discredit things to our periods haha:) so glad you are doing better!:)

As soon as you talked about the feces, I was like, "Hmm," then when you talked about the cut on your ankle I knew it was leptospirosis. I watch too much House MD..

'do I have diabetes' I had to laugh 💀💀

This is the first video of yours I'm watching but I'm so glad you're okay. I literally cry at the thought of vomiting (with or without blood) so I really admire that you were able to put up with everything that happened. I really can't trust doctors no matter where they are. I live in Australia where the healthcare system is decent but doctors here still fuck around and act like they don't know anything despite having to sit through years of formal schooling and trust me, no one is mad at you for not giving a pretty montage, I'm sure everyone is just glad that you're safe (including me)!

Omg. Gave up After 5 minutes. Still don’t know what happened but glad she’s okay

You know when u get an infected cut ...there's a green bubble....? Um nooooooo never seen that ever...(might want to add 1 more alert ) lol thanks for sharing your story, glad ur better

When your allergic to Hawaii

All your jokes about the shaking had me ROLLIN. and Omg! Dengue fever?? My cousin's husband died from that! He went on a trip and never came back. He left his 6 year old son behind and everything. That virus is real thank God you lived!!! Edit: Just watched through the end and saw what she really had... Dang! People really go through a lot in the course of their lives.

I am glad you called your mom so she could help you. That's what moms are for. I'm so glad you are feeling better. :)

"when a cut gets infected theres a green bubble".... lol.. that's not a normal infected looking cut. Maybe white and red.

You, avoiding getting sick from the waterfall: who gon' check on me boo? The virus: 👁💋👁 Okay sorry I know this is a serious situation but it just kinda seemed like the meme was accurate

“it felt like there was an m&m behind my ear...” that killed me😭😂
