Agent Orange Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Having a quiet day at work and was listening to a colleague's conversation about some medical procedure which then got me thinking about the unpleasantries that they can bring. Anyway, what is the worse or most unpleasant medical procedure you have had to date? Fire away...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, not medical, but one of my toe nails was ripped off whilst I was running the London Marathon. Didn't realise at the time as I thought the sharp horrible pain was a blister on end of my toe bursting. What a fright I got when I removed my sock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychickens Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 oooh, me! me! me! I had a 3 inch long surgical steel spike sticking out of the end of one of my toes for 3 weeks or so, and then they pulled it out with pliers! I didn't find it unpleasant, but everyone else seemed to. Mmmm, tasty. Oh, and I had a baby, does taht count? Having a midwife stick her hand up your jacksy to break your waters is quite unpleasant.

EdnaKrabappe Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Touch wood nothing really serious has gone wrong with me (apart from all the obvious defects!) So the worst one is an endoscopy. I came round watched the big screen telly and murmured in that drugged up fashion. "ooh that's very pink" then i realised it was inside me followed by lots of "ooh it hurts" and "ooh stop" I then passed out again so all was well.

I dunno... some women would go to any lengths to have that done to them, apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 either them taking a sty out of my eye when i was younger OR- the colonoscopy i had last year- its very strange seeing the inside of your own intestines on a big screen infront of you (although the gas and air nearly made it worth it!!)

You're lucky - the doctor who did my colonoscopy went on to put the footage on Youtube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
