This is weird…Having my gall bladder removed. My digestive system went to absolute hell after that and I’ve been fighting it for 16 years now
Just to give you guys and idea, here are a couple of pictures of radical neck surgeries:Not a surgery I've had but I work in the medical field and those "radical neck" surgeries they do for esophageal cancer are pretty painful to watch someone recover from. And even when they recover it means breathing through a neck tube and getting fed through a stomach tube. I'd almost rather die, or at least I'd have to think long and hard if it was an option I was presented with.
Oh man you have no idea.the doctors couldn't believe I made it through. Even though I died and they revived me.Ouch man. That sounds brutal. Glad you made it through.
lolol whats this all about?Had a hemorrhoid lanced. I win.
Yeah, they burned off my skin cancer lesions. Nasty smell!I think I totally loose in terms of pain but not in terms of smell.
Had a rare skin condition where they had to burn off dozens of little bumps of skin around my nose and eyes with a laser.
It hurt like getting injections in the face - not fun but not so bad.
BUT
The smell of your own burning flesh is unlike anything else you've ever experienced.
Trust me.
Unexpected things happen a lot in medicine. Its why they say a doctor "practices" medicine! Luckily the bad things are rare.Had many surgeries like distal bicep tendon, neck, ect.. But I had sinus surgery, went home and almost bled out. The Dr. Said it was a freak thing that he never seen in his 30+ years
Depending on who you ask, medical errors cause somewhere between 22,000 and 250,000 deaths in the US each year. The point being it's a lot, probably overstated by some well meaning sources, but a lot. It's not because of recklessness or not following safe procedure but it's because healthcare is complex and humans aren't machines.Unexpected things happen a lot in medicine.

I think about examples like Joan Rivers and how she died during a surgery thst shouldn't have been dangerous at all.
Even though those numbers seem high, it's small compared to the total number of surgeries performed.Depending on who you ask, medical errors cause somewhere between 22,000 and 250,000 deaths in the US each year.

Well we're talking about deaths caused by errors though. A lot more patients are harmed by medical errors:Even though those numbers seem high, it's small compared to the total number of surgeries performed.
I had the most painful hemorrhoid and couldn’t take it anymore so I went to the ER and they brought in the “ass surgeon” to lance it like an abscess I suppose.lolol whats this all about?
I had a tumor rupture an artery in my liver and cause catastrophic internal bleeding at 3 am last summer.
Just finished getting 1/3 of my liver removed a couple weeks back to get rid of the big nasty ones.
I like this thread a lot. I got some stories as well, the first one kind of similar to MooseKnuckles story.
I Was hit by a car when I was young teenager and broke both cheek bones both eye sockets brain hemorrhage and collar bone fracture. After I healed got in my bike for very first time in 3 months and tried doin a trick off a jump and broke both arms in 2 spots.
At 16 or 17 I had surgery in my hip because I dislocated it while playing football in high school. 6 in pin through my right hip.
Around 2016 or 2017 tore my left pec and left bicep while flat benching. Freak accident to. Wasn’t maxing out or anything dumb. Jus went down for my fourth rep nice and controlled and pec ripped so bad I could hear it.
I’ve also had my other tricep tear as well as a minor lat tear as well.
One of the most painful surgeries I had was on a very bad abscess on my glute that I had to go fully under to be worked on and that was crazy painful and wound was insane.
Last one and most recent was jus over a year ago now. I slipped in my outside stairs on black ice and completely tore my tricep and tricep tendon. Had to have surgery and now have massive Scar goin down half my arm. The pain after surgery from that one may have been the worst pain if not close to it I’ve Eva had
