Have you ever been in the hospital, or ER?

Question

People end up in the ER or hospital for all kinds of reasons.
I had to have my right knee scoped for a gymnastic injury.
Plus another time for a shoulder strain, but it was more serious than I first thought.
One other thing I had to go for but I'm just leaving it out for now.
How about you?

Yeah back when I was 9 ish I was admitted into the hospital for 3 days because time was suddenly going slower for me... as in if the world is in slow motion and my limbs felt like they were weighted down or something...

I asked my dad if he knows why... he panicked and and drove me to the hospital in the middle of the night...

I didn't feel ill or anything , just... finding the experience weird.
Got my blood tested , they hooked up some weird machines to me and then on day 2 , I got my brain MRI scanned...

They found nothing. So I was discharged and I chastised my parents for being a bunch of scardy cats lol

It has been a few years since I've had such an episode but man it was wicked cool.

When I was young i tripped and fell head first into a steel wall corner and had to get 3 or 4 stitches on the side of my head.

More recently ( summer of 2014) I got food poisoning while i was in transit from Qatar to Philadelphia in Hamad airport got taken out in an ambulance and was hospitalized for 12-14 hours in the capital of Qatar. Its not as bad as it sounds but i was vomiting like crazy. it was a cool experience tho chilled in a fancy hotel after got to see a bit of the city... yeah i would change that moment one bit even tho I felt like SHITT, it turned out ok. just a short snippet of the story

Just ER. Dislocated my thumb in a bike accident, dickhead pulled out on the car in front of me, he slammed his brakes on which meant I had to slam my brakes on and the bike slid from underneath me. Tried to pop it back in myself but couldn't. Didn't even hurt.

Another time got into a fight and he caught me with a good shot in the jaw. was really swollen and everyone kept nagging me to go to ER saying they thought my jaw might be broken even though I knew it wasn't, 3 hours of my life I won't get back.

9 surgeries, was in the hospital for a couple days or more for 6 of them.
I can't count how many times I've been to the ER from shoulder dislocation (more than 5).
I was admitted into the hospital during Christmas week 2013 because I had H1N1.

I'm sure there's more times.

Torrie · Accepted Answer

At least 25 times. I have a disease called Evans Syndrome, so I get sick a lot or my platelets and hemoglobin are too low and need treatment. I alsi had a bone marrow biopsy, broke my foot, and sprained my ankle before.

WeaponZero · Answer

In 2013 I stayed overnight in the hospital while they ran some tests because they were worried I might be dealing with something seizure related. Turned out to be false alarm.

In 2012 I had surgery to remove the excess skin after over a hundred pounds of weight loss.

In 2010 I had an on the job accident that led to a concussion and was rushed to a hospital after the floor underneath me gave way due to being rotted.

Ihav2fart · Answer

Yup, when I was in 4rth grade. I used to have asthma. At night I had an asthma attack and my inhaler ran out. Being a clueless kid that I was and afraid to wake up my parents I just sat in my dining room gasping for air. My momma woke up to use the restroom and saw me then drove me straight to the ER.

Xelebrum · Answer

I've been to the ER a couple times for various reasons (asthma attack, flu, broken toe) but the two times that I had to stay overnight were from having an orchiopexy done and from having my appendix removed 7 months later.

chrisbigman · Answer

Yes, I was in the ER a couple times. Once, I had a wart on my finger and it was cracked open and bleeding and I wanted to make sure it wasn't getting infected - which it didn't. Then, the other time, I was having trouble breathing. The doctors weren't sure why I was having trouble. I eventually got better. Then a third time, I accidentally cut my finger while chopping up a tomato. I didn't cut my finger off. I just slit into my finger.

ihatethiswebsite · Answer

Yeah I had a blood clot that they had to remove. I had thoracic outlet syndrome apparently which caused it so they had to remove part of a neck muscle and remove the first rib on the left side. I was in the hospital for 6 days and then I was home for a week and then I came back for a check up and it clotted again so I had to go through a few more surgeries and I was there for like 5 days

KHaskins · Answer

Vomited blood once two years ago. They gave me an IV and did a blood test, I was in and out in an afternoon. $900 hospital bill, thank you very much.

Pretty sure it was just a cut at the back of my throat or something.
