Today, I'm having heart surgery. The doc came in, donut in one hand and papers in another. While I was filling them out, his hands kept trembling, and he dropped the donut on the floor. He fumbled to pick it up and kept eating. The guy I'm entrusting my life to doesn't even respect the five-second rule. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got in trouble with my doctor for eating too soon after surgery. Why was I eating? Because the nurses brought me food, which apparently I should've known not to eat. FML
Today, my husband came home from the hospital after having 6 gangrenous toes amputated because he hasn't been treating his diabetes properly. Not half an hour after he got home, I caught him sneaking sweets from a hiding place in his toolbox. He's already lost the bag with his medication in it. Again. FML
Today, my surgeon was talking to me about my upcoming heart bypass operation. I was extremely nervous from the start, but he somehow managed to keep saying things like "death", "fatalities", "high-risk", and "never wake up" throughout. FML
Today, I took my friend to the emergency room because he was having heart problems. The doctors recognized him, and one of them had something to say: "Charles, can you not wait until you're practically dying to seek medical treatment?" This is gonna be a long day. FML
Today, I awoke after 4 hours of surgery. The male nurse taking care of me is cute, very cute. I'm trying my best to seem fine and dandy when he tells me that I can't eat anything before my next poop, adding, "And don't flush it, OK? I need to check." FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. FML
Today, I cut my finger open with a spoon. After waiting for 4 hours in the emergency room, the doctor told me I was missing too much flesh to qualify for stitches. He then called 2 other doctors in to examine it. Apparently they had a contest for patient with most ridiculous injury. I won. FML
Today, I was waiting in a doctor's office when I was approached by an elderly woman. She told me all about the ripping of her stitches in a very private place, in exhaustive detail. Of course, today was the day my doctor chose to be an hour late. FML
Today, I got surgery on one of my hands. I opted for a local anesthetic instead of being put all the way under. I soon discovered my hand hadn't gone completely numb when the doctor started slicing into the finger that needed operating on. FML
Today, while my boyfriend and I were having sex, he stopped, got off, walked into the kitchen grabbed a doughnut, and came back to finish while he ate it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd be more concerned about his trembling hands considering you're having heart surgery...

The five second rule it's correct :| it doesn't matter how long your food was on the floor be it 1 second or 10

Wow u must have a horrible HMO or something. why can't you switch doctors? even if it is last minute it's your life on the line and you should feel comfortable

The UK has government run healthcare. This is what is happening in the US now.

This is what happens in many countries with universal health care. Go ahead and bury me but it's true. If everyone gets it, the quality goes down because quality care and prompt appointments and surgeries can no longer be ensured by the government due to the ridiculously high costs.

Because the five-second rule is bogus. Coat the foot with salmonella, and dropping it for a few milliseconds picks up enough bacteria to cause sickness.

I'd be more worried about the shaking hands than him eating a donut off the hospital floor

Shouldn't you be more concerned about his shaky hands, rather then the stupid 5 second rule???

Trembling hands + heart surgery = no bueno. My sister and my boyfriend have both had heart surgery. My boyfriend only had it done once, however. My sister has had it done so many times... they've told her she's a walking miracle. Apparently she's lead to better techniques for future patients. She was born missing a heart valve. ...anywho, nobody here cares about my sister lol :P I do hope it went well for you though! Come back on FML and tell us how it went.
