Worst medical related incident?

[Sampolo 18]

So yeah, when I was on holiday when i was two, i went to Thailand and got dengue fever and it spread really fast for the first two days, then all of a sudden It contracted and I recovered, my parents said it was really harmful to get it at an early age but meh, im still here

 

I have never broken a bone, never needed stitches aswell, i guess im one of those people in life who are just lucky, except that time i walked into a parked car while changing song on my ipod XD

I once busted my right eye open. It happened when I was like four, I slipped in the bathtub and hit the side. Oddly no hospitable would take me in to help me. So I'm not sure how bad it actually was but I would guess that it was my worst injury.

 

Edit: Just reread the topic and now I'm not sure if this counts.

I'm still suffering from mine - both of my big toes have an ingrown toe nail (both sides) and they're infected really badly, I have to take antibiotics and go for surgery semi-regularly. I could possibly get gangrene if I don't take care.

The worst medical related incident is when you go to the doctor all worried that you've got chest pains or something and he laughs and goes: "oh it's just ...." You just feel so stupid P:

I broke my left arm and it should have been reset but it wasn't so no if you look closely it kinda looks different from my right arm.

I also dislocated my thumb when I was younger... It was backwards when I looked at my palm I could see my fingernail, It hurt.

and I used to get asthma attacks when I was about 2.

Oh yeah, ingrowns hurt bad. I've had them removed from both toes at least once. First one was infected and was oozing pus like custard.

 

Doctors gave me the most painful numbing shots in my toes and cut half of the nail off. I was so happy when that Doctor shoved those medical pliers underneath my toenail and pried the nail off. So happy.

Once when I was at work I had a sharp pain in my right side on my back, later that day I started vomiting. At the doctor the next day he told me I pulled a back muscle. Three months later I was still vomiting daily and the pain had moved to cover the entire right side of my torso. I thought I was going to die. The doctor is diagnosing everything from heartburn to an appendix rupture, and it was discovered after an ultrasound that I don't have an appendix (born without one) but I do have a gallstone that is blocking the exit of my gallbladder that needs to be removed ASAP before my gallbladder ruptures.

The doctors response to all that? "Oh I didn't think it was possible for you to have a gallstone, you're only 19."

I very quickly found a new doctor after that.

Be glad you didn't have an incompetent doctor who refused to give me said numbing shots on my second surgery. Those were the most painful 10 minutes I've ever experienced in my life, I'm telling ya.

Man...that had to be hell... *cue dramatic words from song* "God help me, I was only 19!"

 

Mine was problaby when every few weeks or so, I would vomit all morning and then it would stop a few weeks, and then the cycle repeats. Happened for about a few months before I finally got a good diagnosis.

Gangrene? Feel sorry for you man. But it could be worse, you could've been living 150 years ago with gangrene. And i'd think we both know what would happen..

I was only in the hospital over-night once, and that was when I had pneumonia with a temperature of 107 degrees. Needless to say, it was one of the worst experiences in my life, with a deathly ill fever, dry heaving, shaking, and enough medicine in me to cause a loss of lucidity .

Can't think of of any real incidents but I've had a lot of close calls. The worst was probably when I was riding in a metal wagon being pulled by my cousin's 4-wheeler. He hit a hole in the field we were riding through, snapping the wagon tongue. He kept going, the wagon abruptly stopped, and my momentum slammed me into the front of it. I put a big dent in it with my chest as I was ejected about 10-15 feet out the front, then I landed upside-down on my neck. I couldn't breath for awhile and nearly lost consciousness. Even staggered around for a bit and fell down a couple times. In the end I walked away from it with nothing more than the biggest headache of my life.

My worst injury i explained in my thread here: http://mlpforums.com/topic/29552-your-worst-injury/page__st__80__hl__worst%20injury#entry694626

 

My worst Medical related one however would be...

 

I was bitten by my dog so i was given a tetanus shot and some tablets which contained penicillin, turns out i'm allergic to penicillin, within a few days it had completely stripped the lining out of my bowels causing me great pain and some minor internal bleeding.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

I've had my arm basically torn off... The bone dislocated and 90 % of the muscle tore... So yeah, that was a LONG time ago, so I don't really feel anything from it...

[Winona the Dog 1,981]

My worst incident was i was doing a trick on my bike on a few dirt hills and i had too much momentum on one jump and then when i landed one of my tires busted and i lost control and crashed and scrapped the side of my arm very badly and my wrist was also messed up.

 

What really sucked was that i was playing basketball around the same time and imagine playing basketball with a broken wrist.

[Envy 6,039]

Well, as for incidents and not gradual medical problems, when I was really young I fell several feet on my head. I know, you probably think it's funny "You were literally dropped on your head. lol". However, it really happened, and not under my parents' supervision. I was at a daycare.

[Crutch 898]

I've never really been sick enough to go to the hospital...but around three years ago I had a really nasty injury from my aggressive inline skating days.

 

So I was going to jump a ramp (or a hip gap for all of you skaters out there), and I basiclly overshot it and ended up landing on my right foot sideways from about ten feet in the air (so I completely missed the landing ramp) and keep in mind that I have skates on. All of a sudden I heard a giant snap, and basiclly went into a state of shock. I ended up having a compound fracture on my right fibula (yes the bone did go through my skin) and I also broke off a chunk of my tibia near my ankle. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. I almost immediately had surgery right after I arrived at the hospital, where I got three screws in my tibia and a plate with eight screws on my fibula.

 

I then had a cast for 8 weeks, followed by a walking boot for another 12 weeks after that.

 

Kids...don't break your legs, it sucks.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I was pushed off a the big slide on the playground and broke my arm and fucked up my back. It still have a weak back today, even 5 years after the incident.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

[Veiled Enigma 389]

When i was around 8 years of age I went to a dentist to get my teeth checked out. The dentist I had then was very old and he would later be convicted a murderer a month later, but that's another story. Anyways, he decided I needed to get a tooth pulled from the root. There was a tiny little mishap however; he forgot to numb my mouth so I wouldn't feel the pain. I sat through 20 minutes of a senile old man pulling at a fully rooted tooth and tearing it out, while feeling all of it and nearly breaking down into tears.

[Otter 1,942]

I got laryngitis when I was about 3. I remember sitting in the hospital watching 7 Little Monsters. The only other illnesses I've ever gotten are colds. Dang, all my ailments seem so paltry in comparison to yours...

[Khazmere 5]

In third grade, I had a music stand fall on my head. Luckily I didn't need stitches. It needed staples. Only two of them. However tho', the antiaesthetic wasn't that strong, or it didn't kick in soon enough, or something. So everyone in and near the OR got to hear an eight-yearold retard scream OW OW OW for what seemed like ...90sec's, in retrospect.

O____O That is absolutely horrific... That made me want to throw up and cry just reading it. MY GOD! How were you only nearly in tears? That's crazy,
