This Common Mistake Is Wrecking Your Sleep With Weed
"Turns Out My Gut Was the Problem, Not the Weed" https://doctorapprovedcannabis.substack.com/p/when-the-er-gets-it-wrong-a-story
When the ER Gets It Wrong: A Story Worth Sharing
🚨 Think it’s CHS? Think again. In this candid patient story, you’re about to hear what happens when a cannabis user is misdiagnosed with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS)—only to later discover a tennis ball-sized abdominal abscess that required emergency surgery. This is the kind of case every cannabis user, clinician, ER doc, and skeptic needs to hear. 👨‍⚕️ Guided by Dr. Benjamin Caplan, MD—board-certified family physician, author of The Doctor-Approved Cannabis Handbook, and founder of CEDclinic.com—this video explores the real risks of misdiagnosing cannabis users, and the urgent need for better-informed cannabis medicine. 🎙️ In this episode: • Vomiting spells blamed on cannabis • Multiple ER visits with the same treatment—fluids and Zofran • The CHS label given without further testing • Patient stops using cannabis. Vomiting continues. • Second hospital discovers massive diverticulitis abscess • Surgery resolves symptoms—and cannabis is reintroduced without issue ⚠️ This is more than just a wild story—it’s a wake-up call. Doctors: Listen to your patients. Patients: Ask questions. Everyone: Stop jumping to conclusions. ⸻ 🔍 Topics covered in this video: • What is CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome)? • Why misdiagnosis of CHS is increasingly common • Symptoms that mimic CHS—but aren’t • When vomiting means something more serious • Cannabis as a scapegoat in modern medicine • The dangers of anti-cannabis bias in emergency medicine • Post-surgical cannabis use: what happened next ⸻ 💥 Why this matters: The rise of cannabis legalization has not been met with a rise in cannabis medical education. Patients are paying the price—literally and physically. We need to stop blaming the plant before we’ve ruled out the actual causes. 🎯 If you’ve ever been told to stop cannabis without a full workup—watch this. If you’re a provider who cares about evidence-based care—watch this. ⸻ 🌿 Learn more about cannabis-based medicine at: • CEDclinic.com • BenjaminCaplan.com • CaplanCannabis.com • The Doctor-Approved Cannabis Handbook (available on Amazon) 📱 Follow Dr. Caplan for more cannabis education: • IG: instagram.com/drbenjamincaplan • X: x.com/drcaplan ⸻ 💡 Bonus Tip from Dr. Caplan: Marijuana doesn’t cause abscesses.

93% Improvement?! What Science Says About Cannabis for Pain Relief 📊
🌿 Cannabis is being rescheduled—but are we ready for what’s next? 🌿 After decades of labeling cannabis as having “no medical value,” the U.S. government is finally admitting what millions already know: cannabis has significant potential as a medical therapy. With rescheduling on the horizon, cannabis could soon be prescribed like testosterone or other controlled substances. But here’s the catch—most doctors aren’t trained to prescribe it, patients lack guidance, and the system feels far from prepared. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Video: • 📚 What cannabis rescheduling really means for patients • 🌱 Why doctors face a steep learning curve on cannabis • 🛑 The gaps in medical education and cannabis care • 💡 How government action could shape the future of cannabis 🚨 The Big Picture: Cannabis is being recognized as a legitimate medicine, but this new chapter comes with major challenges. Doctors need training. Patients need guidance. And the healthcare system needs to figure out how to integrate cannabis effectively and responsibly. Rescheduling is a huge step forward, but it’s clear we still have a lot to figure out. 📝 Topics Covered: • Cannabis Rescheduling: What it means and why it matters • Doctors and Cannabis: The education gap in prescribing • Patients’ Needs: The demand for guidance and safe use • Government’s Role: How policy and education can bridge the gap 💬 Be sure to share questions, concerns, and support for viewers to engage with the comments below the video! 🌟 More Resources: • Learn about cannabis care at CEDclinic.com • Explore insights in The Doctor-Approved Cannabis Handbook • Discover Dr. Caplan’s work at BenjaminCaplan.com • Follow for updates at Instagram.com/drbenjamincaplan and X.com/drcaplan 📢 Don’t Forget to: • Like 👍 this video if you’re curious about cannabis reform • Subscribe 🔔 for the latest updates on cannabis care • Comment 💬 with your thoughts on rescheduling cannabis • Share ↗️ this video with friends and colleagues 🌟 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpd38hdlsPDRsDxSTKoXLoQ/join Keywords: cannabis rescheduling, cannabis medical value, government cannabis reform, cannabis and doctors, cannabis education gap, medical cannabis prescribing, cannabis healthcare reform, patient cannabis guidance, cannabis policy changes, future of medical cannabis, cannabis for primary care, cannabis risks and benefits, educating doctors on cannabis, cannabis Medicare implications, cannabis healthcare integration
Rescheduling Cannabis: A Step Forward, But Doctors, Patients, and Cannabis: Who’s Guiding Whom 🤔
🌿 What happens when ‘medical cannabis’ is just a box to check? 🌿 Patients are hearing it more often: Your doctor recommends cannabis. But what does that really mean? In many cases, it means getting sent to a dispensary with no roadmap, no personalized advice, and no meaningful relationship between patient and provider. For many, it’s a process that feels more like bureaucracy than care. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Video: • 📚 The reality behind ‘medical cannabis’ programs • 🌱 Why personalized cannabis care is still so rare • 🛑 The risks of turning cannabis care into a checkbox • 💡 How to rethink the future of medical cannabis 🚨 The Reality: While more doctors are starting to mention cannabis, their recommendations often end at the dispensary door. Patients are left to navigate products and advice from dispensary staff with little to no medical guidance. The result? Cannabis care that feels far from “medical” and a missed opportunity to truly help patients. 📝 Topics Covered: • Doctor Recommendations vs. Real Guidance: What’s missing? • The Dispensary Gap: Why patients feel lost • The Problem with Medical Cards: Beyond the checkbox • The Future of Cannabis Care: Creating relationships, not transactions 💬 Be sure to share questions, concerns, and support for viewers to engage with the comments below the video! 🌟 More Resources: • Explore personalized cannabis care at CEDclinic.com • Learn practical advice from The Doctor-Approved Cannabis Handbook • Discover Dr. Caplan’s mission at BenjaminCaplan.com • Follow updates at Instagram.com/drbenjamincaplan and X.com/drcaplan 📢 Don’t Forget to: • Like 👍 if this resonates with you • Subscribe 🔔 for insights on cannabis medicine • Comment 💡 your experiences and thoughts • Share ↗️ this video with someone who needs better care 🌟 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpd38hdlsPDRsDxSTKoXLoQ/join Keywords: medical cannabis reality, cannabis care challenges, medical cannabis cards, personalized cannabis care, cannabis dispensary issues, doctor recommendations for cannabis, cannabis healthcare gaps, cannabis patient relationships, cannabis medicine education, medical cannabis future, cannabis knowledge gap, medical cannabis reform, compassionate cannabis care, medical cannabis programs, improving cannabis care
