I told my partner it'd be fine having this appointment before her job interview, there's plenty of time, well, it's 25 minutes in and the fucking doctor still hasn't come in. It's supposed to be a fucking 30 minute appointment!

One time I was drunk and trying to cut a squash. I forgot to bake it a while first to soften it up, and ended up slicing the skin between my thumb and pointer finger REAL bad.

I waited about 8 hours for stitches after taking an Uber to the ER. I was almost delirious from blood loss and drew a pentagram in blood on the....like, little table placement where they put doctor tools.

Got my stitches and also a note that said "corgi should not type for 8 hours a day so I got out of going to work for a week-ish.

I was sober trying to cut an eggplant and ended up pretty similarly lol. Drove an hour to the nearest urgent care that my insurance covered and they glued it up pretty quickly.

Every ER visit I've had has never been pleasant. One time I waited ~6 hours and left before getting seen, and still got a $500 bill in the mail lol.

Shit like this is so foreign to me, ya'll have to pay an arm and a leg for medical care and you can't even just go to whichever ER is closest/most convenient? You really have to search for the "correct" ER while having a medical emergency??
