No joking please

Today, I went to the ER after a fall. Before the nurse did an X-Ray, she gave me a pregnancy test. It came back negative. I joked, "No martians have crawled into my uterus, then?" She didn't get it, and I had my head scanned for brain trauma. Never crack a joke in a hospital. FML

I think the problem was the shitty joke

it's routine to do a head CT after a fall to check for a brain bleed.

I was in the hospital last week too, and they gave me a pregnancy test despite the fact that I told them I wasn't sexually active and they confirmed that I had my period by poking around my ******. WTF. I hate doctors.

yay cause laughing at your own jokes is cool. FYL, bid

LMAO this is brilliant, this deserves to be up there with the top FMLs

Why did you have to take a pregnancy test for a fall??

X-rays can have negative effects on a fetus. You have to take one to see if it's safe to have an X-ray and not damage your baby.

1) that's hillarious, and 2) once I made a joke during a check-up at the doctor's office, and she didn't get it. it was the most awkward thing of my life. i feel your pain.

Whenever you come in and admit you fell, they are supposed to do a head CT. Idiot
