Yesterday while eating a pub lunch I sneezed and put my back in to spasm. Promptly followed by a second sneeze causing me intense pain and temporary paralysis! This resulted on a visit to the on call GP who prescribed diazepam and rest. Well that didn't work so I spent the next 3 hours at A&E where I was diagnosed with nerve damage (related to cracked ribs last from last weeks rugby training) and prescribed diclofenac and co-codomol. The reason for my sneezing.....putting too much pepper on my food!  |

I've not had a bizarre visit to A&E. I've only been there when I've been seriously unwell or in a lot of pain.
Reasons have included asthma attacks, a puncture wound requiring a tetanus jab (at a weekend, typically), a locked knee which I couldn't stand on (due to torn cartilage in one of my knees), a large blister full of yellow liquid forming on one of my eyeballs (again on a weekend) and a bad flare-up of a back injury caused during a car accident years ago (which kept locking my back up - again on a weekend!).
I may have forgotten some but that's most of them. |

(Mr) Used to work with a guy who's brother was an A&E consultant that attended a guy reporting of a constant headache. Turned out after an x-Ray and scan the reason for the headache was a pretty obvious.
It was clear that the 20 something nails in the guys skull was the main cause (unsurprisingly). He had been banging them into his head for years. He had a few control issues along with the accompanying mental health issues.
Saw the x-rays

A mate of mine had a girlfriend why want to be coated in melted chocolate. My mate melted the chocolate, but never let it cool down, before he poured it over her tits. She ended up in A and E, he ended up with 2 perfect chocolate breast moulds.
In the hospital, he was so embarrassed when the doctor came to speak to her, that he stepped out of the cubicle and let her answer the questions.
She dumped him |

Well....if we're getting to bragging I've broken my leg three times. Broken ribs more times than I can remember. Dislocated a shoulder and broken fingers. Then several visits for stitches in head wounds all from playing rugby. Then a broken nose and cheekbone with facial stitches after a motorcycle accident. Fortunately not affecting my stunning good looks haha!! |

Very sad.
He said it was one of the most unusual/disturbing cases he had experienced. Apparently it had gone unnoticed for many years and the medical profession couldn't work out how he never killed himself.
Just to add no names were on the X-rays to identify the patient.

I feel the same way.
There are a lot of people who need care in this country (and the world in general) who don't get it.
I hope he finally got the treatment and support he needed after this awful situation. |

A friend of mine was in a gynae ward with a teenager who's boyfriend and his friends had decided to play with an empty wine bottle in her. It got stuck so some bright spark thought that breaking it would get it out!!! |

Smashing the end to break the vacuum isn't such a daft idea. Sometimes that's the only way to remove stuck bottles. Obviously there are certain potential issues with it though. |

An ex was in hospital and it was quite serious. I got called by her in a total state at around 11.00pm following an issue with her medss and I was aked by nurses to attend to help valm her down. Running down a deserted corridor I slipped and fell landing on my hip. I was in agony and thought I'd broken it. Being the middle of the night there was no one around. My phone rang and it was my girlfriend ringing telling me not to panic as it was all sorted. I thad to tell her where I was and she sent staff to pick me up and take me to A&E where it was nothing more than bruising. |

"Being seen after waiting only 10 minutes. "
When you say being seen after 10 minutes, do you mean you saw the doctor after 10 minutes or they finally noticed you at the desk after 10 minutes?  |

I think that the major issue is having a boyfriend who not only wants to share you (bearing in mind she was only about 16) when he's d*unk but also takes suggestions from his cronies about what they should do! |

I ended up in A&E with a cracked rib. Was in my last intermediate pole dancing class and being taught how to pull myself upside down. Was a tad too enthusiastic and got the rhythm wrong. Damn it hurt. So much for my boobs cushioning the blow!!!
Needless to say I never returned to the next level pole dancing. X  |

Many moons ago we were all meeting up at the A&E staff car park to get taxis into town for a fancy dress party.
We got put on standy-by for multiple trauma so we all ended up in the Resus room where one patient was resuscitated by the White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland and Batman. |

Once asked a nice young lad if I could do a teaching session whilst I put a plaster cast on his leg.
Duly took a gaggle of student nurses with me into the cubicle, explained everything that I was doing and they helped out.
The lad was asking loads of questions - quite enjoyed being the centre of attention.
Stepped back to admire my handiwork then he told me that Id put it on the wrong leg  |

I was playing snooker and wanted to put some extra power into a shot. On my follow through I smashed my thumb against the table and shattered it. It tools ages to heal. The nurse said they didn't get many snooker related injuries. |

I went earlier this year to the weekend Dr with a complaint about a knee infection. I took a Pg Wodehouse book with me and spent most of the 20 minute or so wait pissing myself with laughter at it, which was a bit surreal. |

Not gorey or anything. My story involves the hospital chapel, I was with a friend and his mum & dad having mass in there. Part way through the service I didn't feel so good, I got up to go and get some fresh air. I fainted in the aisle and came to in A&E, I have never been so embarrassed before.
There are countless visits to the A&E department in my life, ranging from a broken nose from jumping over a rocking horse catching my foot and hitting the edge of a paving slab with my nose I was 4 at the time, to be in taken in when I got shot I the eye with an air pistol. My most funny one a car pulled out in front of me when I was riding a motorcycle on a dual carriageway at 70mph, the bike hit the car at the front wheel. Sending me and the bike over the bonnet of the car, I landed on the back of my head and rolled for a bit. My injuries where whiplash, concussion, bruising and a blister on my little toe. |

I chocked on a dried apricot at work, had to be taken to A@E in a ambulance.
A@E were unable to move it so was admitted for 3 days and had to have a op to remove it.
2 days after leaving hospital was back after poking my eye with a branch whilst gardening  |

When I worked in a hospital many years ago we had a guy in with superglue up his arse. Apparently his gf had caught him with a guy, then waited till he was asleep to have her revenge. He was so embarrassed it had taken him 3 days to go to hospital the poor bugger |

One funny one not so
Whilst training as a nurse myself, slipped my disc first time while lifting a premature baby. I was nervous n lifting baby to weigh him n cos he was poorly lots of tubes n wires so I tensed, then instead of moving my feet I twisted at base of spine. Felt a pop at time but thought nowt of it. Next morning no feeling from waist down! Scary
Funny- night out (crowd of student nurses) one hit her head on corner of tampon machine in loo. As eager students we all (d*unkenly) took her to a&e to get sorted so we could see what they'd do (early in training) but spent most of the time getting her to sit still to get treated. As she and a few others kept wandering off!  |

A few years ago a large group of us went skiing (Zermatt) for a couple of weeks.
Now the cable car from Zermatt to the top is a bloody big one, it goes up from 1600m to 4000m onto the Klien Matterhorn now thats a big loss of pressure. So one morning on the first of two gondolas up the mountain my buddies newish girlfriend who was posh, in fact from very well to do family was looking a bit pale and peaky (which could have been from the drinking the night before) and really quiet, my buddy asks if she all right and she says 'no I've a pain in my tummy but I'll be ok'
So we get to the middle station and transfer into the second gondola, this one is a little smaller and people really pack into these cars, about 80 I think it holds. The gondola sets off and its packed solid, buddies girlfriend is now looking very green about the gills and suddenly lets out an agonized moan, followed by a stream of putrid fowl smelling vomit onto the back of the head of a Swiss gentleman and almost doubles over in pain, by now we've gone past the point of no return and the gondola operator presses on to the top.
Buddies girlfriend by now is only upright due to the fact that the gondola is jam packed, but is writhing moaning and looks like she about to die. At the top theres a medical station and the operator radios ahead and lets them know we have a case for them, when we get to the top, Swiss gentleman is cussing and cursing with semi digested wine, pizza and breakfast porridge on the back of his head, buddies girlfriend is now really in clip, the doors open and there's a bomb burst to get out of the car buddies girlfriend not being held up collapses, the medics rush on and examine her and asks if shes had her appendix taken out, she moans no and medic gets on his radio.
Five/ten minutes later a helicopter lands and buddy and girlfriend are loaded on and flown to Visp which is the nearest city where they will be able to operate on her.
Know this part is only what buddy told me.. girlfriend is really in pain on the flight and the medics debate whether to give her morphine, the flight to Visp is about 10/15 minutes away and they decide not to so the doctors can examine her while shes conscious.
They get to the hospital and rush her in to admittance and a Dr starts to examine her, asking questions and prodding and pressing her tummy area when the loudest, smelliest roar of escapes from between girlfriends buttocks and carries on for what buddy said was at least a good minute.
Doctor says 'ah there's the problem, trapped gas!!'
So what with the cost of the helicopter flight the admission to hospital, the taxi ride back to Zermatt and the prescription for the windezze it cost just over 5000Sf.

Not mine but Jacky's: Her birthday and we went out for a meal. We left the pub where we'd had a drink prior to our timed reservation when jacky said "I feel funny" and promptly fainted in the middle of the street. Got her to the pavement, called 999 they collected her, we went to A&E. Turns out she's not eaten all day and collapsed due to hunger and temp change when we left the pub. |
