Worst Medical Procedure

[RW]

What's the worst/most unpleasant thing you've ever had done?



I had a screw put in a bone in my foot when I was younger to help it heal.  I was awake when they took it out.  It wasn't nice at all.

I had a cancerous tumor removed from my right leg, in approximately the same part of the leg which would claim the life of Terry Fox:

I believe the medical term is osteosarcoma.



...unfortunately, Brave Terry is no longer with us.



However I'm fortunate to have lived and kept my leg. I even outran a bear on that same leg over a 200 yard stretch which could've devoured me ta shreds, 'Real.



Ya need a bit a' luck to survive an' come back from a setback.

Some of us are lucky, some of us aren't. The ones that were - well they fit to survive. That's their only reward, eh 'Real?

A nurse was collecting blood from me and for some reason she did not do it correctly my blood squirted all over the place.



I was awake during my two emergency c-sections. The memory of the tugging and the pulling are not pleasant but necessary.

Had my aorta replaced. Defective from  birth. 50 years later. Made me young again.

Your aorta or your aortic valve?

C-sections feel very strange.

I was beaten unconscious outside a bar in Winnipeg back in my drinking days. When I woke up in the hospital my jaw was wired shut. You would think this would have been enough to quit drinking after I was released from the hospital to recover at home. Foolishly I continued to drink for 4 more years.

Femoral Shaft Fracture..... the thigh bone actually broke through the skin.



My right thigh has a rod and 8 screws holding it together. Six months healing time another 4 months of daily physical therapy. I remember the doctor telling my parents that there was a chance that I would have a permanent limp. I said fuck that.....not going to happen.



So it was 4 months of flex training, one legged wall squats, leg lifts, leg curls, hydrotherapy....jumping jacks and jogging in chest deep water......Kinda difficult for me because I'm unnaturally buoyant.



Needless to say I don't limp.

Had all my top teeth pulled. Due to wife and I having the same procedure the same day, and someone had to drive, it was done with local anesthetic. Wife got knocked out. Nothing quiet like having teeth pulled, the tops of the gums slit, and a bone gouge used to smooth out the bone so a denture would fit with no high spots. Bone gouge makes a helluva noise when it is removing bone. The sound carries quite well through the bone in your skull.

Other than that, 8th birthday, three and a half inches of someone elses rib grafted into my left tibia. Three grafts total, 8, 9 and 12 years old. 2 years in a cast. Fun times....

I'm a whiner compared to you lot!

I was schedule to have one of those and they cancelled it.  Sounds like I dodged a bullet.
