Hospitals
When was the last time you've been in a hospital? Either as a patient, or just visiting.
I was admitted to the hospital on Friday, and I stayed overnight because I experienced some terrible pain at the side of my chest/stomach. Had some x-rays taken and they tested my blood and all that. Plus it was pretty tedious and boring most of the time because I was waiting when they'll get to me. Afterward, I spent 2 hours walking because my phone died and I couldn't reach my mom to pick me up. :/
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
At the beginning of the year I finally had a test for asthma. Turns out that I don't have asthma but I should continue using my inhaler as needed.I needed this test because in dense humidity I start to wheeze and (even after a year of personal training) during heavy cardio, I can't breathe.
Next time will be this coming Friday to get an ultrasound for a pain in my right boob.

The last time I was medically treated was for strep throat in 2009, but that was at a little clinic and doesn't really count.
Before then, I got a crippling kidney infection in 2007 and thought I was going to die.
I was constantly in and out of hospitals with my brother. I've seen some of the nicest hospitals in the US. I absolutely love the Markey Cancer Center in Lexington, KY. The nurses are amazing, and staff is amazing, they get you pretty much anything you could want or need, and are VERY nice about it.
You always said I looked grumpy. But those were the happiest days of my life.
About six months ago, for penis inspection day.
I haven't been in a hospital since Sarah's incident. Before that, I hadn't actually been in a hospital for almost a whole year, visiting a friend who was in a car accident. And before that, I hadn't been in a hospital since the last time I had cancer. I guess I just don't go to hospitals very often.

I have bad hospital stories. But I'll stick with the most recent!
I sprained my ankle on the Fourth of July, and I couldn't walk on it. I went to the hospital because it seemed like the most sensible thing to do, they did a scan, told me it was a sprain, and kicked me out. I thought they would at least give me a crutch or a wrap.
So I just laid around for a few days.
I have visited Casualty several times after scrapes & disagreements & injuries but I've always been stitched up & thrown out the same night, or morning. When some dick attacked my face with a broken bottle i was in one door & face stitched & out the other door so quick I was able to go back to a mates for a party the same night.
THe last time I was actually admitted was the time I was beaten, stabbed & bricked by a bunch of rowdy protestants in the ninties. spent a few weeks in intensive care & remember only snippets. Out of everything the WORST thing was the nose packing after the removed a few clots that were annoying my brain or something. Sweet smurf that was worse than the attack itself. Just lengths & lengths of this medicated cloth getting shoved da smurf up there. Jesus Wept.
Anyway. I don't mind hospitals at all.
I have a heart condition which seems to have mostly cleared itself up but since it could be life-threatening if it changed its mind, I have to go to the hospital and get a full checkup from like five different specialist doctors every ten years or so. They run like a dozen different tests run on me. Fun stuff except it usually costs thousands of dollars and insurance doesn't like to cover it because they think it's optional or something.
Also the last time they did this (about two years ago) I swear they took about half of my blood supply and sorted it into about twenty different vials; part-way into this my vision tunneled in and I got all light-headed and later my mom said I had no pulse. EXCITING!
I don't go to healthcare facilities.
I think the last time was for my last physical therapy appointment for my broken finger.

I have never been to the hospital for anything I've needed. Let's hope it stays that way.

I've also had to pass a stone :x_x: I thought at first (and still wished later) it had just been gas.Originally Posted by fire_of_avalon

Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
I was in hospital because i first went in for a 'bladder infection'. Then, the other half had to ring an ambulance because I was shaking violently and sweating profusely the next morning (for me to drip with sweat is a big deal, I never get more than a little clammy). Turns out I had a kidney infection and my right kidney was double the size of normal
Before that I've been in so many times it's like a second home.
