once i was in the hospital w/food poisoning, so bad i was puking up bile and delirious and just sobbing nonstop, and of course making GBS threads liquid hell

right as i started to get back to a state where i could lie still without wanting to die forever, still in the hospital in the same sweated-through gown, i started my period

my crazy girlfriend at the time had accompanied me. right about this moment, she decided that it would be really hot to try and gently caress me in a hospital bed.

it was not hot. we did not gently caress

I was taken into hospital in March with appendicitis and I had my period. Now I'm due to have it taken out on Friday and I'm gonna have my period then. Just one of the things no one tells you about when you're longing to finally start at age 13.

When I was 13 I had a groinal hernia and phimosis and I went into the hospital and they put me under general anaesthetic and chopped half my dick off then sliced into me just above my testicles welp that's my story.

I had scrotal hernias on both sides, one about a year after the other, when I was in my teens. I guess puberty triggered something in me that wanted me to have really huge balls, it just did it in a roundabout way? Thankfully they were both fixed and I have a normal scrote now.

I broke my collarbone sledding when I was 16.

I nearly cut my left middle finger off above the third knuckle with an electric hedge trimmer a few years ago. They sewed it back together and then wrapped it too tightly in gauze, so after I unwrapped it my entire finger was damaged and took longer to heal. That was the absolute WORST pain I've ever felt. Never do heavy damage to the tips of your fingers, it's like a hotline straight to your pain center. I felt so dumb when I realized that I just needed to ice it and it immediately felt better, though.

Just complain louder and louder and when they ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10 say "7 or 8". They'll probably eventually give you dilaudid.

I have really high tolerance too like all drugs (I have to take higher than normal amounts of my prescriptions, and when I had my wisdom teeth out I woke up half way through even though I had the legal limit of anesthesia) and that is what I did, but the night nurse in the ICU was afraid that she was going to kill me if she gave me 1 mg of dilaudid instead of 0.5 mgs even though 1 mg is completely reasonable. I spent the whole night in some of the most intense pain I've ever experienced which was also keeping me from sleeping, the night ICU nurses solution to this was to try "breathing exercises", I was pretty pissed. Thankfully the day ICU nurse wasn't terrible and managed my pain really well and got it under control with a combo of the higher dose of dilaudid and oxy a few hours later, needless to say I didn't stop breathing and was fine.

I get that they have to be careful with powerful drugs like dilaudid, but come on was being closely monitored and they could intervene if anything went wrong, I felt like the night nurse was torturing me.

I spent 4 days puking with no food and barely any water the entire time and I went to the accute care and I was so dehydrated my piss was orange. Turns out my bike duct was completely plugged for days, I eventually got my gallbladder removed, but the first person I saw at the hospital thought I had Hep C and that my liver had failed lol

cool dude, flyin' high
I was born with Pyloric stenosis so when I was born I would not hold food down and had to be operated on. The doctor bragged to my parents about how the surgery was in the state of the art at the time and that the incision scar would never exceed an inch or so. Its now 26 years later and my scar is like 4 inches wide across my abdomen, one side of the scar seems to be attached to my muscle so I suspect this is why it continued to grow with me.

When I was 6 I got hit by a car that was driven by a guy who was speeding in a school zone. While I didn't have any injuries other than road rash I complained that I was tired immediately after so I was kept for a couple days for observation. I actually enjoyed the hospital quite a bit; they had kick rear end ice cream and I got to watch Edward Scissorhands!

Had my appendix removed, without it actually needing to be removed. I had gone in there in the middle of the night with abdominal pain and swelling, they pumped me full of morphine and waited till late the next morning to look at me again, at which point I was in enough pain that they just rushed me into surgery without doing an ultrasound. Turns out my entire abdominal tract plus connective tissue was inflamed, except for the appendix. They removed it anyway seeing as they were already in there. Then I had to stay in for a few days to be pumped full of antibiotics to fix the actual problem. The only part that really sucked was when I needed a catheter because I was so swollen I couldn't pee. It took like two nursing students and finally an actual nurse to get it in, so at least I got my dillz touched by three girls.

Cops broke into my house and tackled me threw me in a van and drove me to the hospital. Ended up stuck in psych ward for over a month. It was about as bad as I could imagine prison would be with no tv internet or entertainment of any kind. No going outside and the food was the blandest trash possible. When they finally let me out I didn't even get a certificate saying I was sane.

Yay!
Was taken to hospital after being shot by two gunmen yesterday while taking mass (I am a priest) - did not survive and was declared DOA.
Also had a twisted hernia when I was a kid - the scar was tiny apparently but it grew as I grew, so now it's about 5" long with big Frankenstein looking stitches.
It's pretty pale though, after nearly 40 years. I have to shave my pubes to really show it.

catheters make me want to die. I had a suprapubic catheter for a month in 2013.

when the doc tried to take it out the tube was kinked up so the balloon wouldn't deflate so he tries yanking it and my pelvis looked like an alien was about to burst out. also it hurt a lot and I have nightmares now

Cool things you can do in the hospital:

-Lay there in the blankets!

-Watch The Price is Right!

-Hear the entire ward's electronics beeping, alarming, and so on!

-Have your family be bored the gently caress out of their mind though they love you!

-Wish someone would close your goddamn door!
