Today, I was cleaning one of my elderly patient's teeth. After finishing and reminding her to floss, I realised she had died. Supposedly she was dead for a good 20 minutes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at my job as a hairdresser, I was giving an elderly client a perm and I thought she'd fallen asleep. She'd died. FML
Today, I was working at a hospital-level rest home. I was making the rounds when I noticed a woman was sitting in her (electric) wheelchair in the middle of the hall. Going closer, I saw her battery was flat so I said, "Uh-oh! Looks like you've died." She bawled her eyes out and said, "Not yet." FML
Today, I was volunteering at a nursing home calling bingo numbers. One woman stood up and started making noises, so I assumed she had won and started clapping. She then fell on the floor and died of a heart attack. I essentially applauded her death. FML
Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML
Today, after months of taking care of my grandma after a surgery, the doctors gave her a clean bill of health, and I finally got to sleep in my own bed. She passed away while I was at home. FML
Today, I accidentally let a huge one rip while tending to an older patient at the nursing home where I work. The patient passed away shortly thereafter. Coincidence? FML
Today, the old lady I've been taking care of and running errands for died. She hadn't paid me yet. FML
Today, I was driving and stopped behind a person at a stop sign. Their car didn't move for about 1 minute. I got out of my car yelling at the person. It was an old woman. She wasn't breathing. FML
Today, I made the mistake of telling my dentist that my dog died. She spent the next half-hour talking about her pets and how they died. I ended up crying in her dentist's chair. FML
Today, I spent nearly two hours listening to our cleaning lady talking about her son's infected penis, her fear of dentists, how to catch and kill ducks, her husband's childhood and her supposedly murdered dog. She ended up crying and left without cleaning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To be honest though, it probably wasn't a 'good' 20 minutes for either of you...

You would have known if that she passed. Trust me I am a medic and have had it happen. He would have known.

maybe he just thought she fell asleep and he was too focused on the task to realise she wasn't breathing.

I guess that could happen. Anyway you see it it's messed up.

And during those 20 minutes did you not notice she wasn't breathing? Didn't you like talk to her or something? My dentist always talks to be, but I can't really answer I just do hand gestures and nod. But still, how didn't you know?? I'm sorry for her and her family but not so much for you. It's more of a FHL and her families. I hope you aren't charging them?

ofcourse it's an FHL also! OP must feel horrible n traumatized even perhaps depends how strong he is mentally. but it's still an fhl I would want anyone dying on my while I'm busy with them/their mouth.

I don't know, do you charge her? You DID do what you were paid to do anyhow. Now they'll just look great for her funeral!
