Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML
Today, I broke my collarbone in a rugby tournament. I was forced to sit through five more hours of games because the coach wouldn't take me to the hospital until the tournament was over. FML
Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, after twisting my knee playing soccer with my friends, I had to take myself to the hospital. Apparently finishing the game was more important to them. FML
Today, I dislocated my shoulder. I was screaming and writhing in pain, and my eyes were shut for most of the ride to the hospital. We stopped, and I was thrilled because I thought we were at the ER. I was wrong. My dad had stopped to order a cheeseburger. FML
Today, my eye started hurting with unbelievable pain. I couldn't see out of it and I asked my father if he would take me to the hospital, since it was hurting so bad. He said he had to wait for the pizza he ordered for delivery. I had to call a cab to go to the emergency room because of pizza. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, I begged my husband to take me to the ER cause my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was gonna die. He told me to go sit on the toilet and stop being a drama queen. I drove myself to the hospital just in time for my appendix to burst. I almost died because my husband was busy playing Xbox. FML
Today, I sucked so bad that I faked an injury during a football game to get out of playing. FML
Today, I was at my mom's when I suddenly doubled over in pain. It was so bad that I begging to be taken to the hospital, just when her dog started coughing. She immediately ran to her dog, asked if she was OK, saying that she hates to see anyone she loves in pain. I sat there hunched over in disbelief. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

when I broke my collar bone, and was screaming in agony, asking my dad to drive me to hospital, my dad told me "to stop complaining, nothings wrong, and besides, I'm sending an e-mail" this man is supposed to be a fully trained emergency responder. So I feel your pain.

Denying medical care is child abuse. If they did it, call child services and drop the heavy end of the hammer on the peckerslurps.

They weren't denying medical care, they were asking their kid to wait. My money is on the kid overreacting and needing to take a dump or something equally stupid.

this kind of shit pisses me off. I understand that a lot of children exaggerate but there are times when they are in serious pain and may be injured. My girlfriends mom is the same way, my gf had complained of severe back pain for weeks to her mom and she had passed it off and told her to take an advil. She woke up new years eve with incredible pain and couldnt move, turns out she had frayed the muscle connecting her shoulder to her neck and it tore that night. I ended up having to drive her in the dark during the snow and rain to get her checked out cuz her mom STILL didnt believe her

A frayed muscle isn't that serious... Lot's of people live with them for years without getting it diagnosed. Certainly not worth wasting ER time for on a snowy night when there are a lot of accidents as it is and people who actually need help. Good going.

True, though as i said it had been frayed for weeks and that night the muscle tore apart, leaving her in excruciating pain. Anyone with half a heart would not be able to sit there while she struggled to move and cried in pain. Yea, i agree with you about the danger of driving in those conditions, so did she, but any competent driver should have no problem, the point of mentioning the snow and rain was to further prove the fact that her mother was irresponsible and i was forced to take action in the absence of hers. thanks though!

I didn't say the driving conditions were dangerous for you. I said the ERs are full of people who actually need "emergency" care and you were wasting their time on what was probably a very busy night.

Twinklestar, you're a ******* moron.

If your g/f is old enough to have a boyfriend who can drive her to the ER like a white knight, than she is old enough to get it checked out by the family doctor or, if she doesn't have one, at the family doctor. The ER is not the place to go if you have a chronic problem which is what the pain you are describing is. She could have saved you the trip had she dealt with it responsibly instead of blaming her mom.

His g/f probably needed her mom's insurance to go to a doctor.

Why Yarrachel? Because I think people who have been in accidents in snowy weather shouldn't have to wait longer to see a doctor when they're actually in need of treatment because some girl with a pain that's been going on for a while decided to cry about something that quite obviously wasn't serious(not a sudden pain, not caused from an accident and not preventing her from moving) so she could waste doctors time by being told to make an appointment with her family doctor like she should have done in the first place to discuss treatment? Yeah... righto.

um, apparently tylenol can fix agonizing pain, now.

Provided you're not exaggerating your symptoms (which you should know by now based on what the doctor said when you did get there) you should call an ambulance if it ever happens again. Let your parents learn their lesson when they see that bill.
