Today, my doctor called and asked me when I could have my broken hand x-rayed again. I said the ER staff had told me it was a bad sprain over two weeks ago. I'm now in a full cast, and have to have my partially healed bones re-broken. There goes my summer. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to the hospital to get a cast that I have been wearing for the past three months removed from my wrist. Thanks to said cast, I couldn't have any summer fun at all. The doctor took a final X-ray and said, "Well look at that, your wrist wasn't fractured to begin with." FML
Today, I finally got the cast off my leg after being unable to walk for 6 weeks, watching daytime TV or playing my husband's Xbox all day. The second the plaster came off, I tried to stand up, tripped over the doctor's foot and broke the apparently still not fully healed leg again in the same spot. FML
Today, I went to see the doctor for my daughter and myself. I fell two weeks ago, I thought I'd sprained my ankle but apparently I broke my leg instead. I’ve been limping around for two weeks. My daughter was sick, which is the only reason I got X-rayed. It may need screws. FML
Today, I tried a new workout routine at the gym. I was feeling great until I dropped a big-ass weight on my foot and had to go to the hospital. After hours of waiting, the doctor told me that I had a broken toe and would need to wear a cast for six weeks. The worst part? I have a job interview next week. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML
Today, while helping a child through a tantrum, I was kicked and my hand broke. The bone is completely in half and fixing it will require plates, screws, and surgery along with months of recovery. Another day on the job. FML
Today, I was laying on the couch with a cast on my broken ankle. My brother thought it would be funny to shoot my cast with a high-powered pellet gun. It went straight through the cast and now I need to go back to the hospital. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, during my second shift back at work after missing four weeks for knee surgery, I stabbed myself in the hand and now need three weeks off for that surgery. Just as I'm up for a promotion. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

when I'm out there splashing around in pools, or playing on the beach, I'll think about you.

the hospital did that to me when I fell off a handrail snowboarding and broke my wrist. the hospital staff can not make good decisions sometimes. They gave me a crappy brace and told me to way a few weeks and by then it had gotten half heeled. now I know to go to an orthopedic doctor after the hospital.

yeah, similar thing happened to my husband. he fell at home on top of his left knee, driving all of his weight down on his unprotected knee joint (he has no knee cap b/c he had a patellaectomy), causing his fibula to break. I had to call an ambulance to take him to the ER b/c he couldn't get up. they did the x-ray, said it wasn't broke, AND told him to stop acting like he was in so much pain b/c there wasn't anything wrong. Refused to give him anything for pain but Tylenol 3 w/ codine

Broke my hand a while back, hurt like hell, checked it out at the clinic, had it x-rayed. End result, I taped my finger to the other one and moved on.

You really should be cpmpensated somehow for he extra pain and suffering. I'm not a fan of fake lawsuits, but this seems pretty real to me.
