When I first started YouTube, if someone said something which was inaccurate, I would correct the person. Sometimes my words were taken well, while at other times the person blew up in a hot rage.
Recently, two people within minutes of each, said things which they believed to be true.
For one comment, I mentioned someone had recently told me some information about a medical device. The YouTuber commented, “Oh that was me!”
I know the YouTuber did not give me the information because the person who shared the information with me was a physician. The YouTuber was not the person who gave me the information…but using my YouTube wisdom, I did not comment on it and moved on.
Another person scolded me for not seeking medical attention during a certain situation. I could tell the person does not have my health challenges and does not know that getting medical attention is futile. I have the necessary medicine at home. If I went to the doctor, while waiting to be seen, I would have to take my emergency medicines or risk dying. After taking the medicine, there would be no use getting medical attention as the emergency would be over. And thus, there would be no reason to get medical intervention to begin with.
Instead of correcting the person, I said, “Thanks,” and moved on.
As much as I really want to correct the people, I found I have to bite my lip and forget about the interaction.
