Today, I went into hospital for knee surgery. When I awoke, I was surprised to find a bandage wrapped around my throbbing head. The nurse explained that a student observer had fainted in the operating room and his head had smashed against mine on the way down. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the hospital emergency room to visit my boyfriend who had badly sliced his leg open. It ended with me being admitted with a possible head trauma, after hitting my head on the wall and floor as I collapsed at the sight of his wound. FML
Today, I woke up in my hospital bed after having knee surgery, on the wrong knee. FML
Today, I visited the hospital with my boyfriend to have an injury checked. When the doctor removed the band-aid, my boyfriend started screaming and passed out. I had to get him out of the room using a wheelchair. The "injury" is a cut on his finger. FML
Today, I wound up in hospital because my boyfriend covered my face in fake gore while I was sleeping, to see if I was really as scared of blood as I claimed. Sure enough, when I saw my reflection in the bathroom mirror, I fainted, smashing my head against the counter on the way down. FML
Today, I fell and hit my head on hard concrete. When I went to the emergency room for a CT Scan, the nurse hit me in the head with an IV pole. FML
Today, after a very painful mouth surgery, I went home to take a nap. Then my nose started bleeding, so I stuck a tissue in it and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was so high from painkillers that when I saw the tissue, I thought it was a ghost. I screamed so loud I burst a stitch. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room with chest pain. I didn't have a heart attack, but I now have a broken nose after passing out and face-planting in the waiting room. FML
Today, after I bashed my head into the wall behind me yesterday and knocked myself flat while flinging my head back to get my hair in a ponytail, it still hurts, so I went to hospital. Yep, skull fracture with a slight inward depression. I might need surgery. FML
Today, while practicing my gymnastics routine on the uneven bars, I was so distracted by my teammates' conversation about a party later that I miscalculated my flip and smacked my head on a bar. Ten stitches and a concussion later, I was left alone in the hospital. FML
Today, my surgeon was giving me the lowdown of what was going to happen on the operating table. I was anxious enough without him saying stuff like "cut you open", "quite a bit of blood" and "it's all quite risky." That's all I remember before fainting. My wife won't stop mocking me for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah sue the hospital for a students mistake. Why not just sue everybody in the hospital its not like the money op could win would have been put to other medical uses to save peoples' lives...

1 yeah it is the best. I went there to get my tonsils removed and I ended up getting a vasectomy.... and the messed uo on the vasectomy and I ended up getting a heart transplant... and they messed up on that and I got new bone marrow.... '*2 hours later* So they messed up on my prostate exam I got a blood transfusion. They gave me the wrong blood and I exploded.

I hate people who say: Sue the hospital Sue the hospital They do their best and it's not like your paying a fortune for it. At the rate the worlds going relatives will be suing hospitals for not curing their relations cancer. ? (Rant now officially over)

Forget suing... i think the fact that the student has probably spent hours studying, not to mention spending money on his education, just to find that he may not be able to become a doctor because he faints, is punishment enough. FHL too.

35: I'm not sure what country you're from, but in the USA is not free. Secondly, any type of surgery costs a LOT, and if you end up getting paralyzed or disabled, it is only fair you get at least some recompense. However, I do believe in this case, unless there is any brain damage that must be treated, you're right, OP shouldn't sue.

Seriously, those who are saying sue the hospital should think about that a little first. First, neither the hospital nor the student could control what happened, and second, I'm sure the student is suffering more than op. How would you like to pay thousands of dollars and years of studying and unpaid internship to pass out on the surgical floor, realizing that this may not actually be the job for you? Anyone who thinks that sounds good can support suing the hospital, otherwise you're a little out of line.

56: right... Because THAT'S the part of your comment that made no sense
Bobissmall 13
#83 are you trying to suggest that i was wrong? I think my comment makes perfect sense, and I'm assuming that by the thumbs up I have received, you are the only one who thinks it doesn't.

why would he be observing then? he wouldn't choose to go into that profession if he was afraid of blood..
Feklfekl2222 32
73- the op is in Belgium where (if google is right) they have free healthcare as they do in my country (the uk) and if you don't know where I'm from just check my profile it's not difficult

89: Not that your wrong per se, it's just that if they've gotten this far then they should know if they were cut out for it or not. Basicly I'm saying if this fml was written from the students perspective, it's ydi all the way. Don't F with other peoples lives just because you want to be something your not.
