Gross Kelly Ronahan - Vampire Munchie Who Destroyed Her Own Legs

[Kiwisee]

Imagine being a leaf and getting heavily taxed so that some BPD nut job can mutilate herself into amputation.

 

[Serialmom]

I guess, Article and News board and the Happenings board are clearly not bringing their best people here.

She is truly disturbed. In another's era, she would be locked away in the nut hut, the sped shed.

 

[💗Freddie Freaker💗]

She reminds me of people with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Those guys have neurological issues that make them mutilate themselves by doing things like biting their lips off and tearing their noses off with forks.

Treatment includes wearing restraints to stop the limbs from attacking the body and teeth removal to prevent biting. Sadly, this is usually voluntary and I doubt this girl would willingly stop hurting herself. RIP.

People are always asking how she could stand the pain but there are no painkillers strong enough to allow her to pull nerves/blood vessels, lymph out of her body. Of course, the things she was doing were painful, and I’m sure she was on meds, but I think she’d slowly numbed herself over the many years it took for her to get to this point

Like diabetics not feeling their limbs, she probably had so many burns/infections/tears/holes in her legs that she was slowly killing off her pain receptors. So while those things were painful, especially at first, towards the end they probably were not like what we would feel.

A medfag can confirm or deny this but I don’t know how else you could get to the point that you are scraping infected fluid out of a wound with paper, or cutting things with scissors, without the pain being dimmed and many nerves gone.

I came in to check up on Kelly and didn’t realize she was featured. I wondered why there were so many repetitive and dumb questions. . Needless to say, I’m very pleased to see that she is reaping what she’s sewn, and will look forward to her next Bechets flare.

Since there hasn't been much of an update, I did want to talk a bit about Munchausen Syndrome/factitious disorder. I apologize ahead of time for the definitely autistic way this comes across, it's the medfagging lol.

I've been reading a lot about it recently because it's a pretty interesting and unique disorder, though it obviously fits into that "Cluster B" set of personality disorders a lot of the time (Borderline personality, narcissistic personality, antisocial personality, and histrionic personality.) I can't diagnose her with shit, but she definitely presents a lot of narcissistic traits, histrionic traits, etc but it's not at all uncommon for these disorders to have overlap, with one primary disorder. One of the main causes of Munchausen is abuse or neglect in childhood, and while I am aware Kelly is absolutely the opposite of a reliable narrator, it's pretty clear she has experienced abuse and neglect previously.

What, to me, is so fascinating about factitious disorder in general is how very futile and nearly impossible it is to effectively treat. There is no definitive treatment plan or medication for factitious disorder, and the outlook for the disorder is extremely poor. You can be almost certain these people will live with some level of illness faking for the rest of their lives, with no consistent way to actually treat the root. Many are so deep in denial about their diagnosis of factitious disorder that they actually believe they are ill with the things they are claiming and creating. Contrary to popular sentiment, they do not need to be validated or enabled in order to continue doing what they are doing. They will claim to be ill and create medical problems even if literally no one believes them. That isn't to say they should be enabled, validated, or pitied, or that they are not very much wasting medical professionals' time as well as whatever donations they happen to receive.

Basically, as a tldr, while Kelly should not be pitied or given all these asspats, it wouldn't matter at all to her condition if she did or didn't. She almost certainly would have gotten to this point regardless of internet presence, though it's hard to tell how quickly it would have progressed without the attention.

It also very likely would not have mattered if she was getting constant inpatient care, the moment she steps out of that care (no pun intended) she would have hurt herself. It's not impossible to treat this condition, but it's very, very unlikely that these people will be effectively treated in a way that works for them consistently. The best way to treat it is to catch it as early as possible, which unfortunately is usually in childhood when many don't have access to care. Recently, most medical and mental health workers are trained to detect factitious disorder as early as possible, but that doesn't always impact outlook or recovery.

Anyway, I'm not trying to sympathize or anything, Kelly just generally seems like a shitty person who leeches off of people for her desires. I just figured it would be interesting to delve a little further into what factitious disorder is and why treatment for it is an often fruitless endeavor.

 

[FearsReality]

If not, what's the chances of her doing something to the maggots? Idk, like doing something drastic for attention with the maggots?

Spoiler: I hate my roommate for mentioning this

like shoving them in her vagina, since she shoved glass in there? Eating them?Keeping some? I'm scared for the maggots sake. Kelly is fucking crazy.

I sperged this entire thread in like three days, and now me and my roommate are invested.

You need a new roommate

 

[Popoto]

One thing that's not really been discussed (and I'll take dumb, late or autistic ratings if it's earlier in the thread), but does she have an abnormally high pain tolerance or is she dosed up heavily on pain killers?

The common speculation is she got high off opiates the last time she was in for skin grafts (before she ripped them off), and has been on a steady supply of them ever since.

She is now on an epidural.

The science of pain and the management thereof is woolly, and what I say can be proven wrong overnight.

Spoiler: pain

Generally speaking, most people find pain pleasurable due to the subsequent release of adrenalin and serotonin. Eating food with chilli peppers, drinking carbonated beverages are common ones, then we get into niche shit like cutting, vomiting, auroerotic asphyxiation, urethral stimulation etc etc.

Any continually exposed senses to the same stimuli can dull. Some people are better at this than others - like how some people can't hear construction noises while others are bothered by it all day, how people with poorly trained pets cannot seem to smell the pet piss and shit in their apartment and so on.

In the same principle, exposed wounds dull in sensation over time as the brain adjusts to a new base level of pain tolerance.

For Kelly to achieve the same initial level of pain (and therefore same level of serotonin and adrenalin release), she has to cut deeper next time.

To put it another way, it is a form of addiction.

You're using quite the hyperbole, my friend. Nobody mentioned gossip- but hospital workers do talk about their patients with each other. Nobody mentioned judging- but yes, I would say you come off as naive if you believe hospital workers are above thinking less than pleasant things about the more obnoxious or difficult patients. Hospital workers are people like everyone else. Change your standard of care? Never accused you of doing so. I clearly stated that you provide the treatment you can regardless. Monitoring social media? Didn't write a thing about it.

Without powerlevelling: If you get one repeat hypochondriac coming in over and over to your clinic, you're going to remember them. If you get the same drug addict coming in over and over to beg you for drugs, you're going to remember them. If you get the same self-harmer coming in over and over again, you will remember it. If you get a fairly young woman coming in several times with all kinds of strange injuries, some of them extremely severe, with wounds that constantly reopen, grafts that are looking scratched off, nerves that have been severed on legs where the calf muscle has been moved to the front of the legs- you will remember it.

Kelly's (in)famy stem from her social media footprint, not from her admission records. Her doctors diagnosed her with that bullshit syndrome because they were unaware it was self inflicted.

Remembering a patient is different to rolling your eyes at them and declaring them a lost cause based on speculation or information gathered from a patient's social media.

Attempted suicides are a great example of this, especially in an ER. Of course they're still going to give you a good quality of care, but they're not going to be happy about it -- if you want to die, why waste time, resources and a bed trying to keep you alive? Someone who actually wants to live and didn't cause their own medical emergency could be getting treated instead. It's one of the rare times where they're not very subtle about showing their contempt. Even visitors (and often the patient themselves) pick up on it. And they definitely gossip about it.

Had your example been say, rectal foreign bodies, I would be inclined to somewhat agree with you.

Suicidality is so prevalent in the medical community and taken extremely seriously. Proper bedside manner and attitude are drilled into us every year, and I am sure nurses get workshops as well.

The idea that it is acceptable to openly show contempt to a suicidal person because they are "wasting resources", or that a doctor or nurse acts like their job is to save the hospital money is some fucked up shit.

Also, ER is the definition of causing your own medical emergency. Most ER cases can be reduced to "patient did something retarded" and "patient can't afford to go to a clinic (and let it fester)".

Can confirm. I barely remember any good patients I've followed. The ones whose names and faces I will never forget are the violent, highly out-of-control, super morbidly obese, drug-seeking, self-destructive ones I have to round on for weeks as the health care system is stuck with them for longer and longer taxpayer-funded stays in Hospital Hotel.

 

[GenociderSyo]

Treatment for the mutilation includes wearing restraints and teeth removal to prevent biting. Sadly, this is usually voluntary and I doubt this girl would willingly restrain herself. RIP.

They are sad to work with cause they really really do not wish to hurt themselves and beg to be restrained.

I'm not sure which is more horrifying, those stumps or her eyes. View attachment 2154651

I spent the time to catch up today, paid my dues to the thread, I didn't skip the pictures. Learned a hell of a lot about the medical field. I won't rehash all the exceptional shit every newfag has said in this thread, just explaining why I'm a few days late to comment on any photos.

Those are the same damn braids she went in with on Wednesday. The same ones that were all nice and uniform before her amputation.

That's what's really throwing me for a loop. She has makeup spread out on her bed, she has a phone with which to vlog to Instagram, she surely has people coming in to help her sponge-bathe due to how sensitive that injury is... I know that washing her hair might not be a high priority, but. Can nobody hand her a damn brush? Would an RN get in trouble for mentioning it?

 

[MadStan]

Now that Kelly is only 4 feet tall, does she qualify for sympathy as a midget or dwarf? I'm just trying to reach out to her with new ideas to get some more sympathy for her condition.

Perhaps she could model a new line of cut off jeans we could call "Kellys" instead of "Levis".

Does anyone have the name of the hospital? I want to send her a pair of Nike's with a nail stud in each shoe so she can tack them on for her next video.

Everyone in hospital with long hair who spends all (or most) of the day in bed will end up with a rats nest at the back. Kelly was actually very clever to braid her hair like this to the sides, it's clearly not her first rodeo.

A nurse certainly won't get in trouble for mentioning the messy hair, but they should be offering a comb (we supply dinky plastic ones). Kelly probably just doesn't feel like styling it right now. Maybe her arms are tired, the IV's in the way, or she likes the unkempt look.

But like you say, it's not high on the priority list.

 

[Oscar Winner]

She also said she was drinking ensure because the doctors wanted her to gain weight. Just to note in case it becomes a recurring issue.

I wonder why she deleted all her stories but otherwise went dark.

edit: just after I posted, she added this. Seems irrelevant, but so did the ensure video. I guess she's trying to get attention from her sister.

I think Kellys careful narrative has been disturbed. I don't believe for one second that she lost her insta accounts, and I believe she's still checking all three of them. Probably stating the obvious.
I have just found a few comments that I found interesting.

Whiplash guy on her newest account is getting a few likes, I'm sure Kelly has noticed.

First 'replacement' account has this comment from 2 days ago about poisoning her cat

Original account has these comments, with the kiwi reference posted 4 hours ago. I assume we'll have another incoming wave of fuckery.

 

[Blanche]

She's put herself into a bind- if she removes them, it proves she still has account access. She really has no choice but to keep the comments up, especially now when they are getting traffic.

Amputation Fetish Only Fans arc when?

 

[Umaru Doma]

Yknow, this is another late-coming comment (sorry for that, I only recently caught up) but, to newfags saying she should be put in a straight jacket or restrained- She really shouldn't, as it's easy to hurt yourself in those. Even accidentally, trying to fight your restraints can cause serious injury. Dislocated whatevers, cuts, serious bruises, etc. With willpower like hers, imagine what she could do on purpose.

It would, sadly, just be another way to hurt herself. Some sort of gloves/mitts and monitoring seem safer than restraints. Apologies if someone else mentioned this and I happened to forget/poach your comment, this just popped back into my head.

 

[Yeeted Teet]

"münchhausen syndrome" aka hardcore malingerers who fake or intentionally create illness in themselves in order to get medical attention
there's also a different variation where they do it primarily to get sympathy and attention from strangers on the internet (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factitious_disorder_imposed_on_self#Munchausen_by_Internet) but the classic munchies do it primarily because they want medical care from hospitals

Munchies and malingerers are not the same.

Malingering is done primarily for tangible benefits- time off work, opiate prescriptions, insurance payouts, etc. Munching is done primarily for attention, either medical or internet asspats depending on their preference.

There can be some crossover, especially when muchies get addicted to painkillers, but they are distinct.

 

[Red Velvet Frappe]

So, they want her to gain weight, but if they get her a wheel chair that's gonna make the learning of how to transfer yourself harder. Lots of people who do self transfers without lower limb use get ripped in the arms, due to constant use. Ensure also help with protein to help promote healing. They're not bad to be honest.

Picking yourself up using only your arms is hard, and Kelly has noodle arms. Because if they don't give her a prosthetics, that's her only option other than go into long term care.

I'd hate for Gina or any of her family to be long term carriers for her, so it makes more sense to put her in a facility. I can't imagine the care giver burnout Kelly gives the medical staff .

Yeah I mentioned it a few pages back. Check my posts, I don't post often, you can read the greater detail I wrote about it if you wanna learn more about alternatives. I also forgot to mention like, segu-fix style stuff that's used in some hospitals, though I have no experience with it so IDK how easy it is to fuck yourself up in.
