Yes, as the title suggests, on Thursday and Friday i was in for a Myringoplasty, Which in basic terms means They have repaired a hole in my Eardrum. Right now i'm dizzy, choking thanks the breathing tube irritation, and spent the weekend throwing up (only to discover that was because of my medicine.).

I'm on the mend now and i'm off work for two weeks. And my question is this. Have any of you had a bad hospital experience? If so, what happened?

yay TIN! :D

i had a pretty good hospital experience last time i was there... the surgery prep dudes even talked about star trek with me at length :P
though i didn't like the way they just discharged me without even a whiff of formality... it just felt so unofficial, like some mistake or something :confused:

Yarr i keep comming back... Can't keep me away... shame about the pain in me ear though.

time off work = time to spend back on NS ;)

hows things other than the ear?

I haven't been in a hospital bed for 18 years, and I don't remember that time, so meh.

yay TIN! :D

Nah, Moleland should be Pestilence, Kanabia can be Famine. Just 'cause moles are so commonly viewed as.... you know, pests.

Anyway, none of you are going to remember me, and if you did I wouldn't tell you anyway, so go forth and kill the fourth part of the earth, with plague, and with sword, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

last time i was in hospital i was so stoned i was giggling the whole time. and then they gave me codeine. it was great fun. but the next day was torture - my bag had been left in the ambulance with my tobacco and papers in it and the nurses wouldn't let me bum a cigarette off them. my parents had taken all my clothes home to wash them so i couldn't just get dressed and check myself out. i had to wait until 4 o'clock in the afternoon when my dad finally turned up to pick me up. i'm sure he did it to punish me, bastard!

Well screw you :D

EYYYYYY!

So as to not venture completely off-topic... *hint hint*

My only surgery was pretty good. I just read a magazine and occasionally looked up to see what the doc was doing.

I don't remember the time in the hospital when they popped my knee back into place because I was on a lot of morphine.

For some reason they don't use morphine at the hospital i was in. But i had to take a lot of motion sickness medicine.

If you want to be REALLY original you should do something totally unrelated to what I'm about to suggest next, which is to topple a specific world leader and replace him with a large stack of.... ah screw it.

I can't control myself from participating in these threads! ack, help!!!! noooooooooo *spirals down into spamhole*

Charming. I think I'd replace that certain Leader with a monkey. Much more fun.

On an unrelated subject, it may please you all to know i am currently awaiting the ressurection of my nation.

You spend too much time on NSG if you know TIN:(

I almost failed college due to my NS addiction. But I still passed AND got Best student award. Because i'm a genius.

And my question is this. Have any of you had a bad hospital experience? If so, what happened?

I had the exact same surgury when I was about seven years old. Did they take the skin from behind your ear, too, or do they do it differently now?

From behind my ear. It's covered in stitches and dried blood. They do it keyhole style in some places but I got a "Traditionalist".

Bastard.

No. You spend about an average amount of time on NSG if you know TIN. You spend a horrifically insane amount of time on NSG if you remember, say, Parratoga or Marathon or Normack.

Meh, it's not that difficult. You just have to be smarter than everyone else in the class. And if you use NSG, and are a member of its "élite", you're already a step ahead.

Meh, it's not so bad. And hearing is a good thing -- well worth the temporary discomfort.

And what you think is dried blood? My guess is that a lot of it is actually this gooey antiseptic stuff they use.

Yeah but my ear bones were eroded. I may never get my hearing back in that ear. He replaced one of the bones with a synthetic one, so my hearing may come back. or not. or may. or not. What was I saying again?

Apart from work, I had an appendectomy and out-patient surgery on my hand to remove a lipoma, both in childhood.

My left lung broke two years ago and it became like a baloon without any air in it. So I had to stay in the hospital for three weeks. When I came there they put a tube in my chest. It hurted like hell when they put it there because the tube whent through the left side of the chest straight in to the area where the lung is so it could suck the air out of there and let my lung repair itself. I didn't want to be put to sleep either when they did it. Anyway, it didn't go to well because my lung was to badly damaged so they tried to put yet another tube in which didn't work out either. A couple of days later they operated me and basically cut out the damaged part of my lung. So today my left lung is smaller than my right. But everything wasn't fine yet. My lung still couldn't function so they put me in the ventilator for a couple of days. It turned out I had cought a really nasty bacteria which they were able to fix by calling in a specialist on bacterias who lived 40km away. I got the medicine that I needed and had to stay in the hospital for another week until I was healthy enough to receive the medicine through pills istead of injections. When I came home they'd also given me instructions of excersises I should do to excersise my lung. I didn't go to school for two weeks after I came home.

Physically it wasn't that hard to endure thanks to the morfein I got. I used more than neccesarry bcause I liked it so much. But mentally it was a bigger challenge because not being able to do anything else except eating, shitting, breathing, wathing TV and sleeping for three weeks gets booring.

It sounds like a pneumothorax.

It was. But unfortunatelly, unlike most other cases of pneumothorax, it didn't fix itself without a surgery.

Most don't fix themselves without surgery - the chest tube counts as surgery, but I suppose you mean them going in and doing something more invasive.

I know of TIN, do I still have a life?
Whether you know of him or not, you, Ifreann, still don't have a life. ;)

Welcome back TIN. :)

Last time I was in hospital, I was laughing at a friend of mine who'd had a drunken incident with a toilet seat and had passed out while walking home by himself. Apparently he hadn't wanted any visitors but we bribed the nurse and snuck in when he wasn't looking.*

*This may or may not be true. Most likely the latter.

They cut of a part of my lung after they had put two chest tubes in.

Excellent TIN is back - let the games begin!

My only time I've been in hospital was when I was about 4, I think. I can't remember much, but I did get a bowl of frosties in the morning. True story.

Be that as it may, the chest tubes themselves also count as surgery.

Welcome back TIN. Seeing as how Tink remains as gone as ever, I think there's still hope that this place won't revert back the spamilicious PM + TIN + Peech + Tink + Kanabia + LP cesspool of yore. At least here's hoping.

I've never had to go to the hospital. The last time I was in one I was visiting a friend in the psych ward. Not too pleasant.

The last time I was in the hospital was to help my friend leave. He had had cosmetic surgery and ended up staying overnight because he didn't feel all that well.

TIN!!!


er.. hi.


You know, I had an operation a couple years ago to remove a cyst from the back of my neck. Under local anaesthetic it was, which wore off as the operation wore on as the thing burst apart and seemed to be quite attached to my neck. Do you know what it feels like to have a strangly numb sawing sensation give way to pain?

ah, those were the days :D

My first and only time in the hospital was a brief stay in the emergency room, where I was getting a gaping hole in my right hand stitched. It took about ten minutes, and it wasn't a bad time at all (though the initial pain of the anesthesia injection was something else entirely).

Also, it's nice to see more of the old posters coming back to NS. Hope yas stay, pal.

my last time in surgery was my vasectomy.

It was alright... I had two nurses (I think one was training) flopping my sausage around as they covered my parts and a wide area around them in that common orangy stuff I cant remember the name of. They spoke of how I shave it all off even though the doc said I only need to get the hair closest to the genitals. What can I say? I like it smooth all over :P

The doc came in and the nurses watched as he gave me a shot and then cut into me and snipped the vas, burned the vas closed and sewed me up. THey wouldn't let me watch the procedure.

It all took about 15 minutes and I was up and out.

I really, really hate anethesia. It feels like what I imagine death would feel like. Except you wake up. I just don't like that you're gone then back with no time at all in between. I tried telling them in my last surgery how much anethesia bothered me. I was panicked and terrified and asked them to please tell me what they were doing and when they were going to start the IV to knock me out. They didn't really care. They hid my IV stand from me so I couldn't see what they were giving me and when. Got to love "The Caring Difference You Can Feel" at my hospital.

I was then doulbly freaked out when I found out I spent 3 times longer in recovery than I should have. They wouldn't tell me why either.

Well screw you :D

QFT. It's been my experience that many medical "professionals" fit that description. However, they have ensured I will follow a healthy lifestyle the rest of my life. I'll do anything to avoid having to ever go to the hospital again. :p

Only been in the hospital twice, once at about five to have my tonsils removed (lots of ice cream, as I recall) and one other time, I don't recall that very well, some idiot slapped me on the backside at one point and I don't remember the food but the drinks were good.

How I miss those days!

Yes, as the title suggests, on Thursday and Friday i was in for a Myringoplasty, Which in basic terms means They have repaired a hole in my Eardrum. Right now i'm dizzy, choking thanks the breathing tube irritation, and spent the weekend throwing up (only to discover that was because of my medicine.).

I'm on the mend now and i'm off work for two weeks. And my question is this. Have any of you had a bad hospital experience? If so, what happened?
