Woman’s Face Catches Fire During Routine Surgery

so…um…will this girl have to pay for her own reconstructive surgery? I would own that fucking hospital.

My sister went to a urgent care center over Thanksgiving this year because she also had a cyst on her head that hurt like a mother fucker.  They told her she had malignant tumor on her head.  She was hysterical until she could get back home and went to a plastic surgeon who looked at it and said – “WHAT?  It’s a cyst for Christ’s sake.  Who said cancer?”  I guess my sister should consider herself lucky all she ended with was a big hole in her head – it couldn’t be closed up by the plastic surgeon because too many days had gone by – and an allergic reaction to a medication that they gave her to treat a STAPH infection. 

Someone give this lady a razor glove.

Good God that’s horrific.

I had a twisted bowel once and could not pass gas and let me tell you I was bloated bigger than a balloon,  I took a whole bottle of Midol but nothing would ease the pain.  I went to my Dr’s office and told him my bowel was blocked and I couldn’t pass gas and was miserable.  He told me to drop my pants roll over on my side and grit my teeth.  He then proceeded to stick his thumb in my butt and when I grimaced cause I don’t like thumbs in my butt he said I had Appendicitis and needed a Appendectomy and should report to the surgery center immediately.

I went home and laid accross the bed on my belly in extreme pain trying to fart,  Was there about a hour and a half and my wife gets a call and insist on me going for the surgery.  I managed to get into the Van and she took me I could hardly walk and felt as if my bowel was going to explode.

Meet Dr. Bisicker…He told me to roll over and stuck a thumb in my butt and when I grimaced gave the same diagnosis.  I told him my bowel was twisted and I couldn’t fart but he wouldn’t listen and even laughed.  I told him to give me  a MRI and if it was my appendix take it out there after.  He said go across the street and if my colleague wants to give you a MRI then he will.

Meet Dr. Nestor Cruz.  I told him my bowel was twisted and I couldn’t pass gas.  He told the nurse to give me a ultrasound but I said Doc it’s not a boy.  She imaged my stomach and saw what she thought was fluid all around my bowels and good old Nestor said it’s ruptured get him to surgery.

They bought a form in for me to sign to get my appendix out and I said take my brain out just stop this pain.

I woke up being rushed on a gurney going to recovery,  Seems good old Nestor took my appendix out and said well his appendix looks pretty good stretch him open and low and behold he said good God look at his bowel call the GI Dr’s.  I had a good old case of Diverticulitus and had to have intraveneous IV’s for 5 days.  Hey Nestor and Dr Bycickle I still hate you for not listening to me and being the homo’s you are taking my anal virginity.

Scarily enough it’s actually not that uncommon, i’ve heard of like 3 or 4 cases in my area in the last few years… :/

My hubby had one of those done years ago. It wasn’t even so much the op that bothered him, it was the bloodclots afterwards. When he had another bladder infection recently his doc offered another to check things out, hubby declined even before she could finish her sentence.

OMG.  That is horrible.

Is it wrong I giggled?

yeah it’s kinda scary how no one’s lacking with the surgery gone wrong stories lol

when i was 10 i got my tonsils taken out and the doctor managed to cut my uvula in half (the hangie ball thing in the back of your throat).

they never told my parents……. i discovered it after the surgery, and being the cowards my lovely family is – they never really pursued the damage and shrugged it off as no big deal.

as an adult it is quite a big fuckin deal, as it’s tended to elongate, and i once had an incident where it got stuck to a piece of food as i was swallowing, causing some pretty horrific pain.

Ummm…they should probably start trying to figure this out.

I have more “funny exerpts” than horror stories. Except in the 80′s doctors REALLY beleived if the surgically elongated your urethra you’d stop bedwetting. Needless to say both catheterizations in my lifetime have been beyond horrific. Well…one was – the other time I was numb.

Oh my gosh. I feel so bad for her. From what little I can see in the picture, she looks relatively attractive.

I’ve had two surgery nightmares. When I was 10, our dog (a cocker spaniel who previously had never bitten anyone) attacked me out of nowhere. I was on the floor next to the couch and he was on the couch and he just lost it and clamped onto my face. Tore part of my lip off. I wound up having to have plastic surgery the next day while the stupid dog was put down, because the ER docs wouldn’t touch my face. Apparently no one including the doctor felt the need to tell me I had dissolving stitches in my face. One day a few weeks later, the stitches came out in the shower. I freaked out not knowing that was what they were supposed to do. I’m still a little traumatized from that!

Then as an adult I had my wisdom teeth removed at a low-income dental clinic. Ha. DON’T DO THAT. I was told it was a routine surgery, only needed a few days off from work. Come surgery day, and the guy tells me he needs to break two tiny bones in my lower jaw on either side to get my impacted wisdom teeth out. I think this is information I should have had before the day of the surgery. Surgery goes well, cuz I’m knocked out. A couple days later, the numbness in my face still isn’t going away. I was numb from basically where my jaw hinged down to my chin. For a month and a half. I had to go back to work like that! I had pain many months later still. He BROKE the two upper back teeth and was supposed to take them out for me but I told the clinic to go fuck themselves. I had so many issues with recovery and he never ONCE called me back even though my husband and I left at least 100 messages with him. I refused to pay the rest of my bill for that surgery, they told me they’d take me to court. I had all the medical paperwork of what I went through after that surgery and my phone bills to show we called him but he never called us… and said, yes, PLEASE do take me court. I will counter sue and I will win and you know it. And they dropped it. My oral surgeon now is trying to get this guy’s license yanked because I’m not the only person he’s fucked up.

I honestly thought my appendix had burst or my stomach or uterus ruptured. I was laying on the floor in the bedroom bawling. My husband rushed me to the er, and it was “only” “severe cramping.”  Pppft. I’ve felt cramping. This was… hell.

No we know why you cover your mouth with a sash in ur avi! Hehe I keed I keed…..

Ahhhhh! I cringed just reading that… And I’m getting my tonsils taken out a month from tomorrow. Yikes!

So, about a year ago, my husband asked our friend Bryan, “If you went camping with a friend, and woke up the next morning with your pants around your ankles and a nickel in your hand, would you tell anybody?”  If a person answers “No,” you then say, “Wanna go camping?”

Well, Mike wasn’t able to get that far with Bryan.  I confused look came over him and he yelled, “Why do I have a nickel in my hand?!?”  

It was great.  To this day, any time a joke flies over someone’s head, we say, “Why do I have a nickel in my hand?!?”

Hot women are my downfall.

No … I was talking about the fact that your sister does not have to keep a hole in her head … I was not talking about “healing” at all, only the cosmetic aspect.

It will heal – it only happened at Thanksgiving.  She has a pin head.  It will heal quickly I imagine. 

“She has a pin head. ”
That was not nice CT … is it wrong that “I” giggled ?

Mine too.

Is it wrong that I laughed?

Why didn’t the doctor who cut the hole in her head stitch it up?

 WOW … both of those stories suck … normally I’m against killing animals,but  … yes,that little Bastard of a dog got what he had coming … sounds like the Dentist should have been put down as well.

It was an urgent care center in Florida and they told her it was cancer and they couldn’t do anymore and that she needed a specialist.  They packed it since they didn’t remove it all – sent her home to go to the surgeon.

Sorry to hear that you peed on yourself …

When I had my tubes tied a few years back, I was told by the nurse that I asked my OB GYN who was doing the surgery if he was gay right before I went down for the count with the happy drugs.  Never got the answer. 

What if it was spontaneous combustion!? She can’t sue for shits!

I hope she’s married & what not cause burns in the face might take a blind man or a good person to see past.  Or maybe a lonely redhead.

Spontaneous human combustion! 

Oh geez. Those drugs they give you. They make you say the dumbest, most incoherent things.

That really sucks Heather.Years ago when I was a teenager, the dentist went to numb me with novacane in the front part of my mouth(top teeth). he hit a nerve, the novavcane traveled up the nerve into my eye.This hurt like hell. My upper lip was paralyzed for a year.My smile was now crooked.I thought I would never get my smile back, or feeling in that part of my face again. Needless to say Iam afraid of going to the dentist at 50. 

Sometimes there is no actual reason why … sometimes one must do a thing simply ’cause one can.

Well … I can’t speak for the duck’s,but I’m ok with it.

Smart man … I don’t ever want to go through that again … the fact that they put you to sleep first  still does not help me mentally accept what was done to me … I do find it amazing that they can put you to sleep and do this kind of thing to you, and you don’t wake up and jump off that table in pain – even the fact that you do not wake up, till they want you to wake up amazes me.

Oh no, Lena. That really sucks!

Now that’s priceless. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank you, I was too out of it on morphine to care to be honest rofl

Yes ma’am.

She can borrow mine.

“she’s pure, fluffy evil with shaggy ears.”

I imagine it would be kind of hard to forget that happened … you can forgive,forgetting is a whole ‘nother animal.

 That Dentist deserves a punch in the mouth for that.

Daffy told me to tell you, your despicable.

Sorry I had to you laid it out there so I had to step on it.

Parent related reminded me of:

My Friend Tim was showing off on his bicycle riding with no hands.  I wanted to top it so I took my hands and feet off the bike and flipped over the front handle bar.  My lower teeth punctured my lower lip and almost went all the way through.  1 week later it was so infected I could barely open my mouth to eat.  My dad being the deadbeat he was told my mom to hold my hands above my head and instead of going to the Doctor he climbs up on my chest with a sewing needle.  Pulls my lip down and proceeds to dig out the infection.  God I was screaming bloody murder but thankfully my lip didn’t rot off and actually go better in about a month.

Holy shit! That’s torturous. I did the same thing on a bike as a kid, except i landed right on a fire ant nest. 

I don’t even really blame the dog. He probably didn’t even know what he was doing.

But after that and years volunteering at the humane society and seeing how most cocker spaniels are fucking furry little sleeper cell terrorists… *shudder*

You’re safe with me, pal!

Glad to hear my painful and embarrassing story has help someone.

 Just what kind of parties do you frequent???

I have had atv/motorycle/car accidents, once I even cracked my sinus cavity. This is was in a head on collision at 45. I broke the windshield with my head. I walked around after, got my wife out of the car and did all kinds of stuff until I looked in a mirror at my head. At that point I started going into shock. It’s amazing, I remember no pain. Once in shock, I still remember everything but it’s as if I was detached.

Be afraid of the pitbulls.

Dentists should have to endure what they fuck up on their patients.

Not sure how black people relates to a discussion of dogs. As far as whether you should be scared of anyone, it would depend on many different factors.

That sounds like a cyst or an infected hair folicle. Jgo. you can get those anywhere on the body.Some people are more prone to these then other, keep your immune system up Jgo.

I call that huckle bucking. I think everybody that learns standard does it at least once.

When I was a child I was attacked by a cocker spaniel in the same way. I was at a friends house sitting on the floor. It came over and attacked my face. I still have scars on  the inside of my lips. Turns out the dog had bitten before me.

Aww you poor thing.It’s amazing any of us get to adulthood.

Explain?

Haha, maybe if I go in with that disclaimer, they’ll leave my uvula in peace, as opposed to pieces.

The first time it ever happened to me was the summer before my freshman year of college, but it was baaaaad.  They basically cycled me on and off antibiotics for the entire summer, and said that they had to wait until the swelling/infection went down to be able to operate.  After about 3 months of antibiotics/steroids, the swelling was gone, and then the doc decided it wasn’t worth the pain of doing it.  Fast forward 5 years, and I have had several, severe episodes of tonsillitis a year, one resulting in hospitalization due to inability to swallow anything, even my own saliva.  Finally have a competent doc though, that is willing to slice and dice me.

The standards for removing tonsils are so strange… A minimum number of episodes per year?!  It’s a quick and simple surgery, obviously not painless, but minor in comparison to repeated episodes of suffering.  You guys will probably get to enjoy my misery… I’ll be out of work for 2 weeks, and probably drugged out of my mind so I’m sure I will provide some interesting commentary!

ugh. I hate having dental work done. I have to be sedated to have my teeth cleaned. ack,

Two weeks ago, the baby was sleeping and I had just laid down for a nap,
too. We were home alone. I swear I heard the basement door open and
footsteps in the kitchen! Somehow I managed to roll off the bed without
making a sound. As I was rolling, I saw a lighter my husband had left on
the dresser. Still rolling, before my feet even hit the ground, I
grabbed the lighter. As I slunk towards the door, I grabbed the
cheapest can of hair spray in my collection, thinking it should have a
higher alcohol content and therefore be more flammable. I crouched down
and walked on my knees down the hallway and peered into the kitchen. No
one was there.

I searched the whole house and found no one and the basement door was closed.

I have NO idea how I remained dead calm OR figured out a weapon while
simultaneously rolling off a bed without making a sound. I must have
ninja blood in my ancestry somewhere. I felt pretty bad ass.

WTF? That’s nuts.

That was awesome.  I felt like I was watching a full-feature movie and even made up an eerie soundtrack in my head to go along with it.  

Stinky is usually not yeast but Bacterial Vaginosis.

Foamy is Trichonomis…not yeast.

None, actually. I don’t have many friends, if you can imagine that! Who WOULDN’T want to hear detailed descriptions of my every bowel movement?

She’ll be set for life when she sues the hospital.

I have 5 ducks and there is no way you are going to piss in there eye. They are two quick. Maybe I am to slow and have very little trajectory. I could dribble in there eye if they were drunk.

It’s amazing what our bodies can get us through isn’t it? I got hit by a car when i was cycling to school and travelled along the asphalt on my face for a while. Broke one of my front teeth clear in half, but i was just getting annoyed with the blood dripping down making it even more difficult to see which of the white bits in the asphalt was my tooth (you thought asphalt was black? Check again, reaaaallly closely . When i got to the emergency dentist it turned out my nerve had been hanging out of the remainder of my tooth in my mouth all along. Never felt a thing.

OMG, you made me sad. How did that happen? I thought I had no feelings left.

It was very sad. It still makes me sad. I wish we had not needed to put him down. But it was the best thing to do.

Right?!

Sorry to hear about your bad weekend. Laugh all you want, it’s what I posted it for. I have no illusions that this bunch of misfits would laugh like Gibbons

Well, until now I was blissfully unaware that such a thing existed…..sigh….

That could have just been the die-off from the infection. I’ve been on and off antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, doxycycline, minocycline, etc.) ever since I was little for Lyme Disease and Bartonella, and the die-off feels like death. It’s common to have that reaction, and has become a bit comforting since it lets you know if the pills are really worth it. 

I had a needle biopsy on a breast cyst that became infected ( just mastitis, not cancer!), with no anesthesia. I have naturally small breasts, with polycystic breast tissue, which basically means, every time I  get a good hug or some other sort of smashy pressure it feels like I am being solidly punched in the chest.  So, infected tissue, inflamed muscles, smashy needle action, along with her rooting around in there = most awful thing that ever happened to me, pretty much.
