Today, while working at a hospital, I told a patient to smile for the camera when taking an xray. His response was, "I have Bell's Palsy and haven't smiled in 5 years." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was getting my portrait done. The artist told me to smile. He looked at me, then said, "Oh, don't smile." FML
Today, I was getting my picture taken. The woman taking it told me to smile, so I did, showing my teeth. She said, "Please, be serious about this." Slightly offended, I smiled with my mouth closed. She then said, "If you can't be serious, we won't do this." FML
Today, I was diagnosed with Bell's palsy. I have exams tomorrow and I have interviews for residency coming up. Sadly, the left half of my face will not work for another two months. FML
Today, I was looking at baby photos of me with my mom. I realized that I was making a funny face in some of them, particularly when smiling. I asked my mom if that was a silly face I used to like making. She replied, "Oh, Honey no, you had Bell's Palsy until you were two." FML
Today, I had to get my picture taken for a volunteer badge at the hospital. My sister came home and told my parents that she'd had a horrible day at work. They showed her my picture to cheer her up. FML
Today, I noticed a picture in an elderly patient's room, of a pretty girl in a bikini. Trying to be funny and lighten the mood, I said, "Looks like you have some good eye candy to help you recover faster." With a stern look he replied, "That's my granddaughter." FML
Today, I went to the dentist; no one was in the waiting room so I danced around and mouthed songs that were on the radio. It wasn't till after I went to the counter and saw the receptionists laughing like a pack of hyenas that I realized there was a camera. FML
Today, I was treating a patient at the hospital where I'm a dentist. This particular gentleman was old and slightly deaf. After completing the procedure I gestured to the spitoon and asked him to spit. He got up, steadied himself, and spat straight in my face. FML
Today, while answering hospice calls, I had to take this one with a straight face. FML
Today, I was working at the hospital and it was very busy. Unthinking, I told a patient in a wheelchair to "sit tight" while I checked on something. He mocked me for the rest of his stay. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Smiling is overrated. I'd rather be unable to smile.

isn't bells palsy usually curable? unless it's left untreated. and @skiier682, it's a temporary condition where one side of the face goes paralyzed, and can occur with things like untreated coldsores.

It can be cause by lymes disease to, and I think it's temporary.

too not to

Unfortunately, in doctorese, "temporary" doesn't mean "short-lived", and "curable" doesn't mean "minor".

I've had it my whole life there is no cure. It is a herpes simplex 1 virus, just like shingles or cold sores. I get flares where I can't move the left side of my face and they can last anywhere from a week to several months. I have to massage the muscles of my face so I do not develop permanent muscle tone loss.

It depends what kind it is. My brother had it and it went away in a few weeks with medication, but some people have the permanent kind.

So are you for misspelling inconsiderate and for using "your" instead of "you're."

shudda known that if you saw his file.
cyaneyedangel 2
in the xray department, they generally don't have the whole file, only the information pertinent to the xray.

Not only that but OP may just be the person who transports the patients from their rooms to the various testing departments. He/she may not even see the chart but just gets told who to take where.
