@Kate Farms Shill yeah, she clearly has no idea what the fuck she is talking about.

As far as I know, there is absolutely no way that a colectomy would cause short gut syndrome. It does play a role in fluid management and electrolyte absorption. Folks who have had a colectomy or diverted their digestion by means of an ileostomy can (in rare cases, such as with CIPO or other enteric neuropathies) be unable to balance fluid (no matter how much they consume orally) and will rely on palliative IV hydration for the rest of their life to prevent kidney failure (note - I’m not talking about precious-POTS-patsys who insist that they can’t possibly drink water and need saline). But, this is nowhere near the same as needing TPN.

If I am feeling kind, perhaps she has a case of post-operative ileus and so she is reliant on TPN until the ileus resolves.

It does take time for the small intestine to adjust post-ileostomy (and assume it would be the same post colectomy) but not to the point where they would rely on TPN. Typically they work with a dietician to slowly adapt back to normal foods (with some exceptions) as their gut adapts.

lol at Natalia and her “Total Parental Nutrition”. It’s hard enough to take these girls seriously, but when they can’t even spell check their super special conditions and treatments it makes it near impossible.
 
First post here but long time reader, and personally watch some munchies.

There has been an influx of young women (often with a history of eating disorders) in my relatively small european country travelling to Malaga, Spain to see a certain vascular doctor (dr. Morata). They all have had fundraisers that range from €30.000 to €138.000. Every girl who goes to this doctor ends up with the same 5 diagnoses (mals, nutcracker syndrome, wilkie/smas, gastroparesis, may-thurner syndrome). He then proceeds to tell them they need “life saving surgery”. This life saving surgery consists of cutting open the whole stomach, kidney autotransplantation, placing stents, removing of organs (gallbladder and appendix), widening the stomach opening, duodenojejunostomy and median arcuate ligament release.

In all the cases i have followed (7 as of now) this does not come without risks. At the hospital in malaga there has now been at least one young woman who got a central line infection, bladder infection and wound infection. They get send home quite quickly which leaves doctors of the home country to deal with the complications made in Spain. The young woman who has had the most done by this doctor ended up with a severe ileus after just arriving back, and needed surgery to remove “strings of scar tissue” from her stomach.

They all say he saved their lives, but the thing he can’t seem to fix with any of them is the food issue. They are all still tube fed, along with the of course common puking up of the tube and being underweight. The only thing they do get is a scar and tubes.

Almost all of them seek out newspapers. The first case sounded sketchy to me, but i chose the benefit of the doubt. But when more and more girls in the same demographic, physical appearance and history started fundraisers and went to this doctor it started to get suspicious. Especially when a vascular specialist called out the Spanish doctor. Roughly translated “there is no justification for what this doctor is doing. The surgeries do not fit within the ethic of doctors. We aren’t crazy here in {country}” “here the health inspection would step in. I get that people want help and go on desperate searches, but i try to warn them against these kinds of doctors. I have multiple patients who went to Malaga and got operated on, who don’t even have compression syndromes. As long as you give him his money (at least €50.000) he will do whatever you want”.

Now this is just in a small country, although i have seen some girls from other european countries travelling to see this doctor and spending thousands of euros to get their stomachs butchered. Wondering if any others have this doctor on their radar? Maybe there are miraculously lots of young girls with these conditions, but i highly doubt it. It reminds me of the other MALS butchers.
 
The way to tell a munchie from a non-munchie with the same diagnosis is in fact remarkably easy, so easy that falling for the act has to be evidence of profound mental retardation:

Non-munchies look fucking miserable in their photos. They fucking hate being unwell, their life plans may be in total ruin, their finances are fucked, they're unlikely to live as long as they hoped. That's before you get to the pain and other symptoms and the sheer terror of invasive surgery. Having a port or tube is an uncomfortable invasion of your bodily integrity. There's something sticking out of you that doesn't belong to you and isn't part of you and you can't get it out. It may as well be a slave collar. A permanent reminder that your body is under the control of doctors, who have the right to open you up and put things into you and you can't refuse. It's almost like being raped. This is the same mix of body horror and psychological torture that The Human Centipede uses to make you squirm in your seat.

If someone is eye-fucking the camera they are probably not dealing with the issues above. If invasive surgery resulting in foreign objects being sewn into you is rape, then these girls are living their rape fetishes. They get joy from being violated, it's a very peculiar state of mind that its very hard to get your head around, and its one that produces a very particular way of looking into the camera.
 
@Factitious fighter can you post some links or screenshots? I don’t understand how these girls claims these medical hack jobs “save” them when they all end up so much worse than before, and the complications are unending. I am highly suspicious of anyone claiming that they need to travel and pay extortionate amounts to get “life saving” medical treatment, unless it is for a recognised clinical trial or has been recommended by a legitimate medical doctor who has been treating them locally.

@Spunt spot on. There’s a difference between someone putting on a brave face and smiling in a pic and the sickfluencer posing like they are in a magazine shoot.

You seemed to appreciate the update on Jessie, the Michelin Man’s less athletic cousin, who has been milking this latest admission for all it is worth. I bring fresh milk for your coco-pops. I don’t have the socials so screenshots are stolen from Reddit, followed by a text-only summary for those who can’t stand to look at Jessie, who is shaped less like a person and more like a geometry problem.

Our story continues with Jessie still in hospital, one snack away from becoming a celestial body yet also wasting away from malnutrition (yeah, yeah, fat people can be malnourished. Jessie is not one of them).

Masking her narcissism with a PSA Jessie exclaims that she brings some “new” hospital tips and tricks! Looking like someone stuck a pair of eyes on a dinner roll, she strokes her newly blonde hair, looking remarkably well hydrated, with zero visible signs of malnutrition. “Port” continues to look suspiciously well healed. Atlas is enjoying resting on her sumptuous padding, which I’m sure would be super comfortable for someone suffering intractable intestinal pain.

I kid you not, Jessie claims that being blonde is getting her better treatment. My eyes rolled so hard I nearly saw my own brain sighing in despair. She posts a pic of her at home in the basement of regret, prone on her festering foam slab marinating in her own shame and getting her hair dyed. She does look slightly less like a beach ball that gave up on its dreams but it could be the angle and I wouldn’t put it past her to have photoshopped it to make her look thinner. Jessie, aka Marilyn, claims: “No one has treated me like a burden. Everyone has been kind, respectful, and people have gone out of their way to take care of me”. Jessie, with the cognitive horsepower of a wet sponge, calls this an “experiment in accessibility”. Correlation is not causation, Marilyn! Maybe people are humoring you because they are paid to not call you out on your utter bullshit.

Jessie claims that the hospital is “not equipped to take care of someone who is bedbound and functional paraplegic”. For someone who claims to be a seasoned expert in all things medical, she really is a shining example of evolution taking a coffee break. Hospitals are specifically equipped and trained to take care of bedbound and paraplegic patients with a combination of specialized equipment, nursing protocols and interdisciplinary care. Do you know why you aren’t benefitting from any of this, J-crew? It’s because YOU ARE NOT BEDBOUND OR PARAPLEGIC FFS!

Poor Jessie must instead bring with her an entourage of “caregivers” (today’s drinking game - take a shot every time Jessie calls one of her human enablers a care giver). She mostly needs someone to take care of Atlas. How about just not bringing him to hospital with you, you selfish cunt? It is such a huge “financial and emotional ask” to have a “caregiver” stay with her (cue Go Fund Me any minute now), it is LIFE SAVING. She says they “advocate” for her and this stops her being labeled as a “problem patient”. Deluded Jessie, unaware that if you look up Problem Patient, there is a fold-out picture of her balloon-face that they were unable to fit into the standard B6 page along with an archival record of her bad decisions and poor bladder control. She is pictured giving a thumbs up, smirking like a snake in a silk tie.

CUTE DOGGO PIC COMFORT BREAK! Sadly the undeniably adorable dog picture is ruined with Jessie’s no-one-cares monologue on all her amazing “caregivers” and the super essential tasks they perform for her.

Next she bores us with a promo for device holders. Pictured looking like Jabba the Hut got steam-rollered on a conspicuously not designed for bed-bound patients run of the mill hospital bed, with positive teddy bear sign, a bridled nose hose, an adult sippy-cup, and her own blanket, staring gormlessly at her iPad perched precariously on a pole. I really hope one of these devices falls on her fat face and breaks her nose one day. Then she would have something genuine to complain about.

Final tip, NodPods! I don’t know what these are so I had to google. Apparently they are a weighted pillow for your eyes. Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me to put additional weight on a neck that is unable to support the already significant weight of a face so round it should come with orbiting satellites. Jessie is pictured wearing said mask, along with not only her bridled tube, but a nasal cannula for full on sympathy points, snuggling some sort of stuffed toy, wearing smugness like a cheap cologne - obvious, overpowering and entirely unpleasant.

I’ll leave it there for today. I can only stomach Jessie for so long as she is only tolerable in short, heavily medicated intervals.

I really don’t understand her. How is this larp at all benefitting her? She’s been refused all the monies because she was shown to be able to get up, walk, sit at a desk, and has no legitimate medical reason for saying nope to adult responsibility. And who the fuck is believing her? Does she surround herself with people who have all the mental agility of a dropped pie? I’m not sure what this current hospital vacation is actually for, or what she is telling the medical professionals. I’m certain it is different from the story she spouts on her socials. Clearly her ongoing claims of CCI aren’t cutting it any more and she needs to up the ante by taking a page from the books of your common, garden variety “tubie” princesses. Let’s see where she takes this shit show next!
 
Da fuck does "functionally paraplegic" mean?

I do not have the ability to can with these people.
 
Anyone interested in reading about the Auckland case and "P" as she is called in the court documents can read the full decision here


A final conclusion in the document:
"Further, P is not currently suffering from abscesses or infections. That may not be the case indefinitely, but I have already noted that the health professionals appear to accept that she has the capacity to make decisions about particular forms of medical treatment. It will be for her to decide whether to accept or decline treatment should the need arise in the future."

I was assuming this person already had a thread somewhere on here, I have been following this train wreck for a while now, she just had a faking Down syndrome arc that looks to be deleted.

As a crazy horse girl, this makes me wanna vomit. That poor 'lil pony. That's a regular ole' mini pony, not the tiny dwarf ones bred for Muslims as seeing eye-animals/service animals (Muslims cannot own dogs it is haram).

Also, forget about smoking and obesity - she's going to die by being bucked in the head by her pony after it gets spooked while she wanders into the living room one night! Horsies belong outside, OUTSIDE 🌳☀️

I don't know if there was more, but there are still some videos mentioning it up on Instagram:





There might be more but holy shit I can't listen to any more of this person's voice.

Add to that the fact that no one is watching medical dramas to learn how to place a chest tube or how to read an X-ray, it’s about the people.

I think doctors should be required to watch that one episode of House where the teenage boy patient is having kidney symptoms and is acting out/being horrible to everybody, so the doctors are bending themselves into pretzels trying to find a rare zebra diagnosis that includes both kidney issues and agitation/personality changes, only for House to realise he has a run-of-the-mill health issue and is just a naturally horrible person.

Oh yes. I also watch Emma Kennedy - or Eliyahu Steinhokker (???), as she seems to go by at the moment. I nearly did a write-up on her but she really threads the line between ragebaiter and munchie. Either way, she’s a mess, with face tattoos fitting for a ”faces of meth” mugshot compilation. She still claims Downs Syndrome on Facebook, by the way.

IMG_1054.webp
POTS, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome and cake!

Thank you mame for being my caregiver Christi Kennedy you have helped me as our acclimation into the jewish community continues to find access into the jew world

and the jew world has hamanstachen, my favorite food in the world. there are days when i could pass on matzah, but not hamanstachen. ill violate my gluten free thing just to eat hamansatachen next purim. ill take the pain.

as i get older, my disabilities set in, ive probably needed a wheelchair sooner than later. i finally got my hearng aids, my audiologist appointment is tomorrow to adjust them.

turning 23 means figuring out how to access the world.

The reason my legs don't work is for multple reasons:

Balance, pain, energy, and low bone density. My complicated birth with down syndrome made me Deaf and have cerebral palsy. And l've always had pots, last year I had a POTS flare up and went to the ER.

It's okay to be in pain. Actually, scratch that: It's NOT okay! I am not okay. It's okay to feel the emotions associated with being in pain, but pain is different from emotions. You can ignore emotions, but I cannot ignore my chronic pain.

That's my life! But l've got my friends. Eric Strimling came over and talked quantum with me! Gonna need to do that more, I'll share some of my creative food with you.

Feel free to come over to visit me since I can't make it to synagouge very often!

Sincerely,

EMMA

Ps. Thank you Grandma Bev for supplying the grant for hearing aids. They've helped me so much already!
And no, she’s not deaf. Or a pooner. Or a terf. Or a zionist. Or hindu, sicilian, reform jew, orthodox jew, hispanic, or any other identity she’s cycled through. Just a fat thumb. For added comedy, she lives with a creepy old troon (her caregiver) that she calls mom.

@Not_a_Doctor ofcourse! I have links to gofundmes that have english translations, note how they all use very similar language.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/vascular...nown&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=linktr.ee

This girl is going there in june https://www.gofundme.com/f/lifesaving-surgery-for-ilse

This woman kept getting complications in spain and ended up in the operating room 6 times. Since her return she has not posted anything, probably because the raised money and surgeries were useless https://www.gofundme.com/f/helpsavebellaherlife

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kik...heet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

All of these girls claim he “totally saved their lives” because they don't have “mals pain” anymore, but they do all still have gastroparesis, and regularly see doctors here. They seem to have a very parasocial relationship with this doctor, some talk about how they regularly text with him.
Most of them go to germany for the initial diagnosis, but those doctors have morals and don’t do these surgeries which is why they all end up in Spain.

I translated one post about complications, im not a medfag so i don’t know the severity or causes of this, but it sounds risky. Sorry if i embed the pictures in the wrong way!

Again not a medfag, but maybe someone can tell if there genuinely is a compression here? It’s a rare picture of a scan, usually they don’t post any (probably because there are no compressions).
IMG_6334.webp

Most of these girls are in and out of hospitals daily since their surgeries in spain. And often post about how doctors here don’t want to treat them because of what they did in Spain, or because they don’t find the diagnoses credible.
I think most of these girls do have issues with their stomachs, but rather because of a history of eating disorders and not because of very rare compression syndromes that they all somehow seem to have.

They are also regularly recruiting girls for this doctor. Any chronic illness account mentioning stomach pain is filled with comments from these women telling them to go to spain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of other European women are going here, i just don’t have eyes in those communities.

And to add to @Spunt their point, all pictures in Malaga are very smiley, happy (except for the “i’ve just woken up in icu” photo’s). It’s one of the reasons i became suspicious, because i’d think that if you were in spain for (experimental) surgery for rare compression syndromes you would be worried and scared.
