I had to go to a hospital before because my mom works in a hospital she works in the front counter kinda like a secratery she assigns patients appointments but Iam not sure about their services

Your right Hospitals Suck , I remember a few years ago I had to stay in the Hospital for a week , it was really boring and the food they had was horrible but not all Hospitals suck some of them are fun .

/ supercool /

What bothers me about hospitals is that every time I've been in one for an extended period of time, they always put me on a "liquid diet" even if the solidity of food has absolutely nothing to do with why I'm there. How does an injury to your eye, for example, mean you shouldn't eat solid foods for a while? That's stupid. I can understand if there was something wrong with anything in the mouth/jaw area or even some organ in the digestive system... but my eye...?

I think the longest I've been kept in one was probably somewhere between 3-4 weeks. I kinda lost track of time while I was in there though, so it's kinda hard to say :x

uh, think again hipsta, hospitals are very important, and without them, a lot of people would have died. especially for mothers. so when you mary, your wife is about to give birth, if you dont take her to the hospital, she could die before you even had you first child. sure they are boring cause you have to wait, and yeah they are expensive, but you life is much more expensive. at kids hospitals, they give stickers, candy, and pencils. and for you not to get bored, they give you toys, and stories. they do that so the kids dont get scared or bored. for adults they give out magazines. but for kids my age, it will get very boring, cause all that stuff is for very little kids. but this is a hospital, this is a serios place, and you need patience, it was not made to be fun. but you do feel very horrible every time you go to a hospital and you hear the babies screaming of pain. my little 2 year old brother had to get 4 shots on his leg !  oh and also, at that last sentence, you sounded like a gangster when you said "drugs are good ", maybe you should change it to medecines. 

So it sucks for people trying to save your life?

I agree with you about hospitals sucking. I have never really had a long stay except for me giving childbirth back in July and man that mess was so painful.

Azul Fria : But worth it, right? For the kid, I assume. Didn't they give you those pain blockers, or did you decide to do it without them? Cause I've seen videos and even if was physically possible for me to give birth, there's no way I would do it without being drugged to the gills. 

I agree that it's worth it for the kid's sake but the part that is painful are the weeks/months leading up to childbirth. I kept feeling like I wanted to die and get it overwith then I'd be worry free but that's nonsense.

I agree that they're not enjoyable but suck no, reason being that those people are working crazy shifts to give you the best treatments so even though they're not fun they definitely don't suck as it were.

that does suck.
Iv never paid for medical treatment, its government funded here

Yeah hospitals DO suck, especially if you don't have insurance. That's when they REALLY put you through the wringer. I'm so sorry that you are having back issues that they can't figure out. Must be painful as well as frustrating.

I hope it all works out for you! Are you feeling any better these days?

My only complaints about hospital are when I have to wait...
Oh and not to forget the god awful smell.

port753 : last time I was in the food was decent and there were tons of cute nurses, it was almost worth being hospitalised =p
@Thudric
The canadians love imigrants, jump border =p
Here there are times when the doctor cant figure it out, but so long as there are more tests they wont give up.
The waiting times can be bad though.

thudricdholee : I guess I am uniquely qualified to answer this one… I’ve had ten surgeries and was in and out of the hospital plenty when I was a kid. The longest I guess I’ve stayed in a hospital was a couple of months for my last major surgery.

It wasn’t so bad though because they would let me go home on the weekends so long as I was back before a certain time on Sunday nights. The reason why I was in the hospital that long had to do with my recovery and rehabilitation and such. I hated it with a passion at first and you go through various emotions in the process which make things worse because one minute you’re fine and the next you can be in tears because you’re not where you want to be and such and you miss your family. It’s happened to me more than once.

Eventually though as I started recovering and feeling better it was basically like checking into a hotel, leaving for the weekend and checking back in so I could keep rehabbing and such. Please don’t misunderstand me It may have been like checking into a hotel but I did not and still don’t like hospitals especially with all the stuff I’ve learned later in life in regard to the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

I was satisfied with how I was treated because I will freely admit I am not the easiest person to deal with and that is probably ten times worse when I’m laid up after surgery. They took good care of me but I was extremely happy when I was able to leave for good. I had one eye surgery after this but it’s unrelated to my disability. It’s been almost twenty years since this surgery and even though admittedly I don’t do what I should to take care of myself I have managed to stay clear of surgeries and hospitals. It’s something that I thank god for even though things may not be all milk and honey.

I hope you feel better. Best of luck to you.

Update the Third~!

So. Four days ago I once again tripped (over the carpet, I kid you not-not a rug, or...anything. Just on the carpet.) and twisted my back. This time the muscles knotted up so tightly I literally couldn't stand up.

Guess where I went? *SIGH*

This time, I have to say, I enjoyed my hospital visit. Mostly because I was off my knob most of the time on painpills and muscle relaxants.

Hospital showers are awesome. I have to admit that. The shower heads in this hospital were so nice. 

My neighbor kept beeping for the nurse and swearing at her. It made for some really interesting dreams.

The doctors and nurses were super-sweet and helpful, but blech. Who decided that hospital sheets need to be stiff and scratchy, and that hospital blankets need to be thin (and scratchy). And having my butt hanging out of a hospital gown when you can't stand up straight is...uh, fun.
