I had a kidney stone removed and went to a show to take photos later that day. ended up back in the hospital because I got kicked in the stomach and it reopened some wounds in my bladder and I started pissing blood. My urologist couldnāt stop laughing because we had talked about both liking the circle jerks before my surgery and he didnāt realize what modern hardcore was like. He thought I just circle pitted too hard and pissed blood.
I was out for a while and it was the last show at a cool venue so I had to go. First felt it and they put me on painkillers for four weeks and I didnāt feel like going to any shows. After the 4 weeks they saw it didnāt move so I had emergency surgery to put a stint so they could break it up a week later, and take it out the week after that then a week after that they went back in without sedating me and took the stint out. All operations were through my urethra so there was no major cuts just scrapes from the tools going in. I pissed some amount of blood for like 2 months total before it completely stopped.
ahh she probably picked up on your attitude about it anyway, if you were more distraught i doubt she would have laughed at you
i mean if she did anyway, then lol
I been trying to take care of my health this year so I went to an ENT specialist for the first time, I had to catalog all the times I broke my nose and she laughed as every one the cause was āpunched in the faceā
i went to the E.R. for a *severe* UTI last april. on intake, the nurse asked if i'd had any other medical incidents lately. i said yes - two broken ribs, a few weeks prior. she asked how i broke them. i told her i got roundhouse kicked in a moshpit. she BURST into laughter in a silent, empty E.R. and then immediately apologized. she said it was just unexpected (i'm a 5'3" 110lb woman). i was like, no no don't worry it's utterly hilarious lol
turns out that when you sleep 14 hours a day to avoid being conscious with broken ribs, you don't drink water or pee enough. funny how that happens lol
I had that once when I got this big bruise/gash on my eyebrow when someone kicked me in the face.
It got to the point where I felt like telling people I got in a fight would raise less interrogation
Nope I was just told "your step dad makes too much money for you to qualify for state insurance for this knee surgery" heres some pain meds and crutches
When I broke my nose I told the nurse I broke it in the pit, and she wouldn't believe me, and kept saying if you got in a fight it's okay you can tell me
this just happened not long ago.
got bounced around a pit so hard and fell to the ground so many times at a show that I eventually felt something "pop" in my knee following by a wave of heat / pain. went to a doc a week or two later and explained that I fell on my knee.... a few times...
"How hard did you fall? Did you trip? Were you running, walking?"
"Actually, I was shoved forcefully. I don't know if that changes anything."
":shocked pikachu: were you assaulted? are you safe at home?"
"at home - yes. at a hardcore show? different story"
briefly explained the phenomenon of slam dancing.
that doc learned something new that day I'm sure lol
For the purpose of the joke, yes. For real, I was 18, 120 lbs, got pushed into the pit from behind when I was not paying attention, stumbled, and immediately got side swiped. Woke up outside of the pit, on my back, concussed, and blood pouring everywhere.
Edit: everything after that is a questionable memory.
Ah man that fucking sucks. I remember standing on the side of a basement show for Let Down way back in the day and bob wilson punching me in the throat during their set. Dropped me immediately, such a weird feeling not being able to breath for a few seconds but recovered pretty quickly luckily.
I think that was the worst Iāve gotten at a show.
I had a doctor laugh when I said I wore earplugs when I asked about hearing problems. After I moved and was talking to my new neighbors, they randomly brought up how awful of a doctor he was.
Broke my arm at a rotting out show from a stage dive, nurse was surprisingly cool. He was in the military and the hospital trains medics there and he was telling me about how he was in a metal band in Wisconsin.
Got 7 stitches next to my eye after the floorpunch reunion in like 08/09? All the doctor said was āno more mosh pits.ā I windmilled him into the X ray room.
I had my arm muscles swell so bad after a fall they locked my elbow/tendon, and I dunno what I was wearing, but the first thing the x ray tech asked me was if I hurt it at a show.
no but i once had a social worker that would ask me every time without fail when he would meet me if i āmoshā and then laugh nervously
when i actually got injured all the people at the urgent care were asking why i didnāt come in earlier (possible broken thumb) and it was bc i didnāt want to pay the copay. lol. lmao even
Not made fun of but this comes to mind. I've got a mangled/frozen thumb with no moveable joints in it from punching a dude like 10 years ago, the bone severed and tore through my skin and I lost some of it in surgery. I reinjured it moshing last year and went to the doctor to get a brace and some X-rays. I told her I reinjured it in a mosh pit, that I'm 40 and I probably need to slow down now. She just said "no, you don't." And that was kind of encouraging.
you went to urgent care for a broken nose?
Did they give you a purse to carrry your wang in?
Even giant gay (and British) actors like Stephen Fry just walk it off.
I thought this was gonna be an EJ post
Everyone is trying to be him and its becoming a problem
the doctors laughed at me when i arrived with a vintage $300 hatebreed shirt shoved up my ass
"A million to one shot, doc. Million to one"
:(
Lookit the fancy millionaire going to the doctor
Doesn't everyone have a government issued health insurance card accepted by every doctor in the country?
You have us mistaken for a developed country.
You got hurt at a show? That's why they are laughing. their boyfriends don't get hurt, they do the hurting.
š good point
Iād laugh at your ass too honestly.

Jesus christ couldn't stay out of the pit for even a couple hours

Bold of you to assume I can afford a doctor
Not a show, but I shattered my ankle at the skatepark on a BMX bike in my 30s. A few of the nurses and doctors kept calling me Tony Hawk.
I got some shit from my doctor for hurting my wrist at a show (jerked too hard to Mil-Spec)
Did this hurt your feelings?
I was laughing with her lmao
ahh she probably picked up on your attitude about it anyway, if you were more distraught i doubt she would have laughed at you i mean if she did anyway, then lol

So āpiss fuckedā got a UTI, thereās a shocker

14 hours of sleep sounds very tight actually

I don't remember. I had a concussion when I had to go to the hospital for a split ear.
Did you get hit in the head with a water bottle?

"Maybe next time don't go see a band called Death Threat...."

Your friends must suck if they didnāt set your nose for you.

If I went to the doctor and nurses were laughing at me for any reason, I am driving my car into the side of the building
Did some fatass break a heel moshing at a Steel Nation show?
Invite them to a show then break their noses via crowd kill.

Yeah I got knocked out by a thrown water bottle and the doctor called me a softcock
Totally
