Today, my professor told everyone that he thinks all med students should be required to get a catheter and an enema at least once in their lives so they can relate to their patients, saying, "Gentlemen, it might change your lives." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend had to give me an enema. FML
Today, at a gynecologist's appointment, I was privileged to have 7 co-ed nursing students stare at my vagina for 25 minutes as part of their training. At one point the doctor apologized for having to "open me up more than usual", but said she wanted everyone to get a good view. FML
Today, my doctor booked me in for an STI test. I was feeling confident until he explained it will involve having a catheter inserted into my piss pipe. He shook his head sadly and said, "Gonna be honest Steve, the pain's beyond belief." Great. FML
Today, working as an EMT on an ambulance, we had a patient who refused to accept that he had a massive GI bleed, despite the fact that bloody stool was flowing from his anus all over my ambulance. To make things worse, my EMT ride-along student puked all over the patient. FML
Today, I was at my gynecologist's for my checkup and had this sudden urge to poop - but it was my turn, so I just went ahead to meet the doc. The doctor noticed that I wanted to poop and also informed all the orderlies that, "This patient wants to pass stool now." FML
Today, I sat next to this really hot guy in my writing class. We struck up a conversation, and it was going well, until he began describing, in excruciating detail, his IBS and fiber problems, and how he always has to poop. Good to know. FML
Today, my professor tried to scare the hiccups out of me. Some pee came out instead. FML
Today, I attended my first surgery as part of my program at med school. I found out that when I see someone's intestines, I vomit. Even if I'm still wearing a surgical mask. There goes the thousands of dollars I spent on college. FML
Today, holding my teenager's hand at the hospital, I unfortunately had a front row seat as a nurse manipulated his penis trying to pop a ball bearing out of his urethra. He had been curious to see if it fit. It did. And no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t pee it out, so off to the hospital we went. FML
Today, I was admitted to the hospital for chronic constipation. I have to share a room with two other girls who are also having bowel problems. We're all on strong laxatives, and there's apparently only one bathroom in this place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Having experienced both and seeing how completely unsympathetic my doctors were to pain and discomfort I agree with him.

Your professor is not exactly wrong.

Prepare your anus.

Johnny Knoxville had to manually insert a catheter every time he wanted to pee for about a year when he broke his penis.

*cringes* I can't imagine what a broken penis would feel like. >.

I would hope not, considering it says you're a girl.

How in the hell do you break your penis???

bend it the wrong way when it's hard?

You can't, actually. Humans don't have bones in their penis, so technically, there is nothing to be broken. The term 'penile fracture' actually describes a rupture, but the effects are very similar to a bone break, which is why I imagine people get confused. There is apparently a popping or cracking sound, significant bruising, swelling and of course intense pain.

It's probably about as painful as breaking the cartilage in your nose but not the bones, that one happened to me and it hurt like hell. Trying to pee through a broken penis is probably on par with sneezing with a broken nose.

Dirtbike landed on it after he went off a jump

I agree with your instructor. It will make you more sensitive to what the patients are going through.

Catheters. They change lives.

Had to do both and only 16... I agree with the professor

I don't understand. Why is this an FML? Your professor gave an opinion that doesn't single you out in anyway. Your professor is right anyway.

Yea, it isn't like the professor said in order to pass the final you must insert a catheter into you & give yourself an enema. Or did they OP? I feel we need a follow up.

That's an interesting thing to say...

I sounds like the professor wants everyone to feel his pain.
