I always feel like I have to be the thinnest. Or the one with the least mistakes. Or the one with the best grades. And the one with the longest hair. These are just a few, I could name at least twenty more....
not always ive had naso gastric tube at the same time as this. Its called a central line and pumps vitamins, minerals, electrolites into the bloodstream. Then i got liquid feeds with fats,calories and other nutrition through the tube
was this before they could use naso-gastric feeding tubes? the ones you typically see today? through the nose and down into the stomach? I had a feeding tube (nasogastric) and IV's as well, but nothing that I needed to be number for... was it just that anesthesia would have killed her?
Is this part, part 7, stopping at 2:37 for anyone else, or is it just happening to me? I can't even "jump" past it. So, I guess, in addition to missing part 2 due to lack of audio, I won't get to watch the remainder of this portion. Bummer!
I started crying when I saw this scene. My biggest fear is hospitals.. doctors.. needles.. i cant even watch this stuff anymore without freaking out ):
I am trying to find a movie..It is about bulimia there are two sisters and they are like young adults and the younger sis has bulimia I think she ends up dying....anyone know this movie help please
Casey has hyperalimentation/total parenteral nutrition, a method of delivering nutrients to those who can't swallow food for medical reasons. It involves a catheter, which is a small plastic tube (which can be inserted into different body cavities/veins) being inserted into a vein in this case. The end of the catheter is attached to a bag of vitamins which is machine-controlled to release the contents into the body at a certain rate per hour. IVs and nasogastric tubes are used more often now.
I like this movie better than other ED films because it deals with secrecy of what goes on and how disorders evolved from. I like how the psychiatrist coaxes Casey open up to telling him what she feels deep down inside. I don't think I've seen any person who is in pyschology try that hard. It shows he really does care about her. :)
omg when they were doing the surgery i could just imagine what that felt like thank god that i have been asleep for all the surgeries ive ever had!!!!!
Lindsayrenee01 ... I wondered about the same thing. But I'm thinking that it could have to do with her being not really ana, but mia (bulimic). Purging on a daily basis for months or even years destroys your throat, so maybe this is to show how serious it is? ... They should've described it better though, because we never really hear about purging in this mvoie.
Apart from that: I really love Jennifer Jason Leigh, love her charisma. ^^
Lindsayrenee01: It can go through your veins too. I had a pic line which is what they were doing in the OR (for a non ED related condition) for 6 months. It is fed through a vein in your arm and it goes through the vein and goes directly to your heart. Its for TPN and Lipids. They don't put you to sleep for it. It is a relatively minor procedure.
@kagomekr the main actress is jennifer jason leigh from fast times at ridgemont high and the other actress is melanie mayron.this tv movie came out in 1981.
i don't think thats what she means. and that's not what she said. Being sickest and having people feel sorry for you are 2 different things. Just because you want to be the smartest doesnt always mean you want to be the most praised. it's a personal satisfaction and often (not always tho) eating disorders have to do with control. You want to be in total control and you do that with your eating. So you want to be in the most control you can be. which in that way of thinking can equal the sickest
So do I, I was just explaining why it might be she said she likes to be the sickest, i just don't think it's that she just wants people to feel sorry for her, that's all.
they wear baggy clothes because they still think they are fat - they still see themselves as fat - and therefore they think everyone else views them as fat - so they wear baggy clothes to conceal it. Others, get stared at because they are skinny and will wear baggy clothes to prevent the staring
do anorexic/bullimic/BMD sufferers wear baggy clothes because they still think they look fat, or because because they don't want people to notice their losing weight?
No, it's a CVK (in swedish) so you can get your outrition that way. I thik that's the wrong way. I've seen girls been carried inta a room before every meal. I've had that myself but I talked them into taking it away...
this is very common in patients with eating disorders. each person with an ED(eating disorder) has found something they can control and when they meet others like them, they want to still be in control. That's why when we're in group therapy we're not allowed to mention numbers of calories eaten or miles ran, etc. It just perpetuates the ED.
@lindsayrenee01 no always ive had ng tube at the same time as this. Its called a central line and pumps vitamins, minerals, electrolites into the bloodstream. Then i got liquid feeds with fats,calories and other nutrition through the tube
It's spelled psychology. & just curious, what does he do wrong? To me seems like he's just waiting for her to want to get help, as right now she clearly doesn't. and you can't help anorexia, or any other kind of addiction, unless the person wants it
they would have to do it with her awake because of her weak state. Normal people can have reactions and sometimes die from being put under for surgery. Someone in such a weakened state would have a much higher risk.
It isn't cruel... they're giving her local anesthesia before cutting her open. You can feel they they're doing but it doesn't hurt. I've been through many procedures like that and it's an odd feelig... But no pain.
Note the difference between Men & here women jail-breaks. With men it is shooting, clubbing, violent & dangerous. Here it is unopposed running away, collapse, secret barfing and pill stashes. But they share one thing: all want to get out - but very few want to change what got them in!
because someone that malnourished and weakened would have a much greater risk of not waking up from a general anasthesia. Thats why local anasthesia is the general practice for hyperalimination.
Karen Carpenter had one of those tubes inserted.. She gained 30 pounds over 6 weeks... One of the reasons her heart failed was because the weight was put back on FAR TOO FAST!!!
From what I have been told Karen was not eating much. The first 20 pounds that she gained were from the tube. It was only then that she started to eat. The tube stayed in until she was up to 104. When she reached 108 pounds they released Karen and she went back to Downey with her family. That was in November of 82. Less then 3 months later... She passed away...
movie made me feel hungry cause she wasnt eating and i am a foodie lol i eat delicious foods and love it. and dont want to puke it out later. i have superior taste buds and would never compromise them just to be thin. i live life to the fullest. lol but in a most healthy way.
Exactly, it's not that hard to pee standing up. Ok it is until you get used to it lol. It makes me sad how much this movie messes up the book. But, the main idea is the same.
Talking to people about your fears and secrets don't help at all...I could talk about my troubles until I'm blue in the face and nothing would ease the feelings I have. Therpy is crap!
i think they put in a central line for TPN, PEGs go in the stomach. although later in the movie when they show the IV bag, its clear, TPN is like a nasty off white vanilla Ensure color. Yuck.
I noticed the IV tube or whatever it was...he called it a mosquito ..I was told they were called Butterfly's though...because Ihave way deep an tiny veins and the docs use the butterfly IV tubes on me.
they could have differnet IV tubes for different types if veins...maybe because you have tiny vains they had to use the butterfly IV, im not sure tho thats just my guess
in my med. terminology classes we had to watch this HBO or Showtime special called THIN. I think its called that. It's sorta new...like in the last few years it was made...these women and teens at a clinic in florida...dam they did some extreme shit to fool doctors. A few died.
Agreed... women aren't breeding machines. I hate the way society (& even people I know) are so determined to pressure and assume that I want to have kids. Not wanting kids isn't an illness, it's a personal choice.
They did but they aren't always the best option. People can actually "vomit" out of their PEG tubes and can purge up whatever is given to them via an NG tube. TPN via a central line delivers nutrients directly to the blood.
they gave her local anaesthetic because they don't like putting most patients under who could be so unstable, it looks like it was mostly her anxiety that was bothering her
Ya but why don't they simply use an NG Tube? They don't reaaly need to operate her and get the stupid tube in her chest... Maybe they don't know that the nose is actually linked to the digestive system. And I hate the afro girl, she doesn't need to take people down with her. Don't anyone see that?
People can purge what is given to them via an NG tube because it is essentially Ensure or Boost. The NG tube doesn't block the stomach. They could try and force feed her with one but she could pull it out. Even babies in the NICU pull out their NG tubes all the time.
No an eating disorder is considering that you think you are fat and deepeer than that is that you are some depression with family like they dont treate you very well. But f you dont eat because you arent ngry is tatally normal but if you get in to te hospital they treat yo like if you were anorexic
I'm just adding this to the video as a question to be educated on. Even if you don't starve yourself intentional but if you are the kind of person who can go days without eating not because you think you're fat but because your body simply isn't hungry, can that be considered as a symptom or characteristic of an eating disorder or disturbed eating? I should research this myself but i'be read a lot of comments on here from people who are well educated on the subject matter.
yes. but pls remember that all those ppl dont know you. neigther have they seen you face to face or know or manthal, physical and phsycological history.
the same as you do not know WHO THEY ARE.
also- no pro will ever, evr.. give you advice or diagnoss on the phone or internet. ok?
go to someone qulified (face to face), even a family doctor, and then get a sec opinion in another field like.. alt. med..
Well, it may not be a symptom of an eating disorder, per say, but it is atypical, as people need a certain amount of calories/nutrition each day to be healthy. I would see your doctor and ask about it. Just to rule out any physical and/or psychological reasons for this lack of appetite.
that curly 'fro girl in the ward gets on my nerves. Casey never asked about learning tricks. 'fro girl needs to leave her alone if she's not ready to get better. Don't drag others down with you.
because even if there s one ritual (there is not)-
it s part of OCD.. have u watched "as good as it gets"?
its all ur thinking about, all the time. all ur worring about- even when not actually DOING it.
try to think-
every time u FEEL, every time u get UPPSET, every time u REACT TO THE ENVIRONMENT (especially that u dont know how to handle with, like her family)- U THINK ABOUT THAT. wethear to do it or not, what will happen if you wont. etc.
When I was "normal weight" I had anorexic behaviors. Even bulimic behaviors before that. Even when I lost 30lbs in a matter of months, no one thought I was sick.
I always feel like I have to be the thinnest. Or the one with the least mistakes. Or the one with the best grades. And the one with the longest hair. These are just a few, I could name at least twenty more....

I noticed the IV tube or whatever it was...he called it a mosquito ..I was told they were called Butterfly's though...because Ihave way deep an tiny veins and the docs use the butterfly IV tubes on me.

they could have differnet IV tubes for different types if veins...maybe because you have tiny vains they had to use the butterfly IV, im not sure tho thats just my guess

in my med. terminology classes we had to watch this HBO or Showtime special called THIN. I think its called that. It's sorta new...like in the last few years it was made...these women and teens at a clinic in florida...dam they did some extreme shit to fool doctors. A few died.

awesome and very accurate answer
they would need to be careful with the protein content in the tpn though- her BUN is very high

Agreed... women aren't breeding machines. I hate the way society (& even people I know) are so determined to pressure and assume that I want to have kids. Not wanting kids isn't an illness, it's a personal choice.

"may I go now?"
"No, you just stay here a while and relax."
Mmmm Mmmm, doc likes his patient. Just love it when a man takes charge. Joke, lol

Do they still do intravenous feeding? Did they not have PEG & NG tubes in the '80s?
spershall 3 years ago
They did but they aren't always the best option. People can actually "vomit" out of their PEG tubes and can purge up whatever is given to them via an NG tube. TPN via a central line delivers nutrients directly to the blood.

they gave her local anaesthetic because they don't like putting most patients under who could be so unstable, it looks like it was mostly her anxiety that was bothering her

Are they giving her a feeding tube at 2:57?
coolamy104 3 years ago
no, its like an IV that goes into one of her main blood vessels. because she pulled out the regular IV. the thing she has now is sewn in.

Ya but why don't they simply use an NG Tube? They don't reaaly need to operate her and get the stupid tube in her chest... Maybe they don't know that the nose is actually linked to the digestive system. And I hate the afro girl, she doesn't need to take people down with her. Don't anyone see that?

People can purge what is given to them via an NG tube because it is essentially Ensure or Boost. The NG tube doesn't block the stomach. They could try and force feed her with one but she could pull it out. Even babies in the NICU pull out their NG tubes all the time.

No an eating disorder is considering that you think you are fat and deepeer than that is that you are some depression with family like they dont treate you very well. But f you dont eat because you arent ngry is tatally normal but if you get in to te hospital they treat yo like if you were anorexic
ruthrichardsonbsb 3 years ago
I'm just adding this to the video as a question to be educated on. Even if you don't starve yourself intentional but if you are the kind of person who can go days without eating not because you think you're fat but because your body simply isn't hungry, can that be considered as a symptom or characteristic of an eating disorder or disturbed eating? I should research this myself but i'be read a lot of comments on here from people who are well educated on the subject matter.
Sperrazzajel 3 years ago
yes. but pls remember that all those ppl dont know you. neigther have they seen you face to face or know or manthal, physical and phsycological history.
the same as you do not know WHO THEY ARE.
also- no pro will ever, evr.. give you advice or diagnoss on the phone or internet. ok?
go to someone qulified (face to face), even a family doctor, and then get a sec opinion in another field like.. alt. med..

Well, it may not be a symptom of an eating disorder, per say, but it is atypical, as people need a certain amount of calories/nutrition each day to be healthy. I would see your doctor and ask about it. Just to rule out any physical and/or psychological reasons for this lack of appetite.

that curly 'fro girl in the ward gets on my nerves. Casey never asked about learning tricks. 'fro girl needs to leave her alone if she's not ready to get better. Don't drag others down with you.

why does the does say her secret rituals must be exhausting her all she does is not touch mouth with fork and not sit on toilet seat. hardly tiring
melonscoffer123 3 years ago
because even if there s one ritual (there is not)-
it s part of OCD.. have u watched "as good as it gets"?
its all ur thinking about, all the time. all ur worring about- even when not actually DOING it.
try to think-
every time u FEEL, every time u get UPPSET, every time u REACT TO THE ENVIRONMENT (especially that u dont know how to handle with, like her family)- U THINK ABOUT THAT. wethear to do it or not, what will happen if you wont. etc.

When I was "normal weight" I had anorexic behaviors. Even bulimic behaviors before that. Even when I lost 30lbs in a matter of months, no one thought I was sick.
