Today, I was so happy to be leaving the hospital after breaking my arm the night before. Just as I walked out of the doors, a huge ambulance team was running in at the same time, and knocked me down full force. I now have a broken ankle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML
Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I saw an ambulance pull into my driveway with its sirens blaring. Thinking it could be for my sick father, I started frantically sprinting. I managed to trip on my pant-leg, twisting my ankle in the process. They were just turning around in my driveway. 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
Today, I went to an indoor trampoline park. This would usually be fun, except that I got there, broke my ankle, and left in an ambulance, all before my friends even arrived. FML

Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML

Oh, the irony... Hospitals injuring patients? It sounds like they just dont want you to leave.

At least you were close to help! I truly hope you feel better. I have broken bones and it is not fun.

Impossible, you have to leave the hospital in a wheel chair if you were a patient.

Not where I live, and I've left the hospital after a leg operation and didn't even need crutches.

drink more milk and maybe your bones won't be so weak

This shows a complete lack of understanding of bones. It's way more than just calcium that causes bones to be weak. it's genetics, vitamin D synthesis, load-bearing exercise, amount of carbonated/alcoholic beverages, and, yes, calcium. Someone can have very strong bones and never drink milk, or drink tons of milk and have osteoporosis. Don't be so judgmental.

Is this real? Don't ambulances have their own entrance? I don't think they go in and out of the same doors a leaving patient would.
