Today, I went into an exam room to do a check-up on one of my patients. I told the little girl's mother that she needed her flu shots. When the girl heard this, she took an apple out of her pocket and threw it at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while trying to give an immunization to a "special" 13-year-old, I got spit on, kicked, almost bitten, and had a chair thrown at me. When it was all over, I flinched when the patient tried to hug me. Her mom called me a "b*tch" and I later found out she wasn't a "special" child. FML
Today, my needle-phobic mother took me to get a shot. She fainted. FML
Today, I was eating an apple in class. When I went to take a big bite, my teeth went right through the apple, causing me to scrape the apple right up my face. My nose then started to bleed. I'm now known as the girl who punched herself in the face with an apple. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office, where my mother happens to work. When my doctor tried to prank her by saying I have chlamydia, my mother laughed and said she didn't believe it, adding, "Have you even seen the way she interacts with boys?" FML
Today, a little girl from my Sunday School class approached me and told me she had a stomach ache. She seemed very upset and her face was discolored so I took her to the nurse. While we were walking out the door, I looked down and saw a half-eaten crayon on the floor. That'll do it. FML
Today, I was giving myself a breast exam for lumps. I heard laughing, looked around and saw that the 12 year-old neighbor and his friends were watching through the window. FML
Today, my daughter wanted to show me the tooth she had just lost. As I was in a rush to leave for work, I quickly picked up and swallowed my pill that was on the kitchen table. It was only until I looked back down at the table did I see not only my pill, but one extremely angry daughter glaring at me. FML
Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML
Today, for the second day in a row, I was constantly abused, yelled at, insulted, and berated by my wife for "endangering our child's life." I took her to the doctor for a vaccination and flu shot yesterday. FML
Today, while waiting for my name to be called at the doctor's office, a little boy threw a Dixie cup full of water at me, making it look like I wet my pants. His mom just laughed and dragged him off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess an apple a day really does keep the doctor away.

I'm just surprised she kept an apple in her pocket, expecting to have to throw it at you lol

She must've been wearing cargos...

Now the important question is, did she still get her flu shots? Because if not I finally understand why having an apple a day hasn't managed to keep the doctor away, silly me I've been eating them, does this mean we're supposed to throw them?

I hate shots, but I wouldn't throw fruit or other projectiles if I needed one.

Kids hate needles
laden_swallow09 35
Everyone does.

Actually, needles don't bother me at all. It's just a small pinch and it's over in seconds. I personally, don't really understand why they bother people so much. Some people really freak out over them.

For me, it is the sensation of the needle in my skin. My grandmother kinda made me scared of them by icing my skin to numb it, and then used sterilized sewing needles to dig splinters out of my skin from a young age. I could feel the scrapping sensation without that much pain. It reminds me of what the noise of scrapping ice off a windshield or nails on a chalkboard would feel like on/in my skin. Needles aren't painful to me. They just make me so uncomfortable that I don't like it.

I don't imagine anyone actually ENJOYS needles. But there is a line in the sand between being afraid (I have to close my eyes while getting a shot because I'll get sick if I look) and compromising your own health because you don't want a shot, like my best friend does. There's nothing to really be afraid of, but that doesn't mean anyone has to like shots.

I don't like the flu shots. I'm no doctor but I used to never get flu shots, and I never got the flu. Then a few years ago I got a shot for the first time. I also got the flu for the first time. Haven't gotten a flu shot since, haven't gotten the flu since. :P

Flu shot contains the flu in it. Your body had a reaction to it, because it's next experience the flu before, thus you had no immunity to it.
Lil_Red777 21
Same thing happened to me. And you can't really use the immunity thing because I could have gotten it literally anytime before that shot. Flu shots are a joke.

Shots aren't much fun, but they're still much better than dying from the flu.

Shots are fun,, but I'm thinking about a different kind of shot.....

Personally I don't believe in flu shots. I think they do more harm than good

I want to hear your explanation for this.

"Shots, shots, shots, everybody?" Depends on what type of shots we're speaking of? Lol Patrón taken with an orange wedge vs a lime is the newest trend at my bar!

Is there some way to make shots not the only way to get vaccinated? I never get flu shots for that reason... Another one with the fear of needles...hope she missed

Some places have a nasal spray for the flu "shots"
worldclassrager 41
