Not counting the number of times I've had to go visit my mother (ironically, she keeps being admitted to the same hospital she works at, often due to something that has happened to her while working), I was only admitted to the hospital twice: the first time was when I tripped over my oldest brother's bike and split my forehead open when I was maybe five, the second time was a year ago when the car I was in was rear ended twice by some crazy old lady. I was annoyed that they made my lay on a hospital bed in the hallway of the ER even though I felt fine, so I kept telling everyone that passed by that I was apparently dying.

I fractured my wrist which lead to a slight deformity, and my mom took me to the emergency room. The guy to my left was dying, and the guy to my right was bleeding out. I was in 3rd grade at the time. My only thought was, "Why am I here?!?!"

yeah a few times I have something very wrong with my intestines something to do with them being 3x bigger then they should be or something anyway I have gone to an emergency room 3 times once the combination of mind bending pain and enough morphine to kill a horse sent me a bit loopy the best thing is I get in quick because with abdominal pain it could be appendicitis or a ulcer or something where I could die so that is good.

Last time was to get two ingrown toenails removed for the second time, the time before that was when I found out I was allergic to Penicillin.

I had to go a lot when I was younger.
They had to rule out everything else before they could diagnose me with CFS. And because of a bunch of bullshit complications, I had to take most of the tests three or four times.

I also went in quite recently because of various complications.
I went to bed at home and woke up in the hospital. It was all very surreal.
I am telling you, there is little more visceral and terrifying than waking up with a big orange tube shoved up your urethra.

Got old quickly, though. After about a day or two I was just willing my heart to regulate so I could get the fuck out.
Not fun places, hospitals.

Once, technically. It was a formality though. In grade 9 (age 14) I stopped going to high-school for various reasons. I was recommended to go to an adolescent and family service center (they have their own school and everything) but I said "Fuck that" and kept doing nothing.

Unfortunately, my then psychologist had the right to force me to go anyway, with the approval of my mother. I had to have a doctor at the hospital approve that I was not in a healthy state of mind. I even rode in an ambulance and everything.

A bunch of times. Never stayed too long there, but I've visited plenty of times. Let's see if I can remember them all...

I had pneumonia when I was 6 weeks old. Stayed there for a while in one of those big tube things, can't remember what it's called.

I had a very bad case of strep throat once and had to go and get a shot. Bastards lied about it not hurting.

When I broke my left arm I obviously went. Broke it jumping between two beds. Of coarse since I was a dumbass I spent the rest of the day using it, even climbing up a wall. Don't jump on the bed, and don't be a dumbass kids!

When my father had a heart attack I went. He spent a couple days there, at two different hospitals.

When my father broke all of the bones in the back of his hand I went. Pretty gruesome injury.

I can't remember if I went when I had my nose broken...

I went when I had a terrible high ankle sprain. Got that on a school field trip. Once again I was a dumbass and tried to play soccer with it. That field trip was a mess, almost 20 kids got hurt...

I've probably been there more times, but I can't remember them all. Geez, I didn't realize I went there that often...

Edit: Remembered another one! When I broke my finger. I tried to play baseball with that injury too... I am a dumbass when it comes to injuries.

Kid I sorta half knew a while back went to hospital on Friday with stomach pains, was diagnosed with leukemia and died the next day. I wasn't there, obviously, as I barely knew him even when I did know him.

Myself, I've been to hospital for broken things and possibly broken things but not very often.

Today actually.

After being born in a hospital, there hadn't been a need for 32 years. Now about a month ago I was referred by my general practitioner to go to the hospital.

Turns out I have Hodgkin's lymphoma [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin%27s_lymphoma] and I got my second course of chemotherapy today.

Other than being born (nothing major) and some checkups, no never. I intend to keep it that way for a long time.

Good luck with that, isn't the survival rate pretty hight for that type of cancer? Didn't Michael C hall have it too and he turned out fine.

Anyway, good luck.

Two emergency room visits when i was around 6-10,
1. Caught my finger in a door, severing the tip almost completely, they reattached it though, so all good.
2. Put my left hand through a window severing a vein, lots of blood, all good now though i think, circulation may be iffy.

The real visit though, big overnight stay, was just gone two years ago, when i was 15. After going to this summer camp, there was a mumps scare. I stupidly hung out with a friend who caught it, and i think i pretty much psychosematically gave it to myself, as i worried about whether or not i had it for a while. And it was diagnosed as a "viral infection".

So long story short, i may or may not be sterile now, i never got that checked out. If you're wondering how i guessed that, guess where the symptoms came up. :/

The worst part easily was going to the "teaching hospital", i.e. it takes interns and molds them into fine young doctors and all that shite. When my intern put in my IV she missed the vein on the top of my hand THREE times. "You have very slippery veins" I did not like her.. Also in my sleep i ripped the IV out by accident, fun. =P

I just got back from the hospital. I've been having severe abdominal pain for months now and turns out, I had an ovarian cyst and a fallopian tube torsion (it was twisted 8 freaking times but we didn't know it before the surgery). Fuuuun. So my parents panicked reeeaaal bad when they heard the diagnosis and insisted on taking me to the ER last night (even though I had an appointment this morning) but I'm glad they did. So basically I had surgery, and now I'm feeling a lot better. I've been pigging out too since I haven't eaten anything in two days.

So folks, lets hear your hospital stories. :D
God, sorry if anyone has already asked and I missed it but you're ok now right? I mean it hasn't created long term complications? Hope you're ok x

OT : I was in and out with breaks and stuff all the time as a kid. The most recent time though was last month but it was for my daughter. She was 4 months at the time and had to be rushed in by ambulance on oxygen and stuff because she was so poorly. That was the most terrifying experience of my life.

Thanks, and yeah it's a pretty "good" choice of cancer. Survival according to wiki 42-95%. And According to my physician 80-90%.
And yeah Hall had the same thing.

I was wondering where I'd heard these words before then I remember medical class..... Lol lady parts.

OT: I've had to go to the ER twice (for myself). Once when I broke my wrist, and the other time when I broke the other.
