I tried to zoom in on that photo and got an error message to go be poor somewhere else.
You laugh but I had an experience inn the hospital that still makes me cringe. I was 14 years old and had to have an operation on my sinuses. Seems I had nasal pylops. The operation consists of the doc cutting me along my gum line in the top of my mouth. They then basically pulled the front of my face away from my skull. They then scraped my sinus. They packed my sinuses and ran the end of the gauze through my nose. When the time came to remove the gauze, the nurse came into my room, removed the bandage and started pulling the gauze through my nose. I was going nuts. My dad yelled at me to toughen up. I just couldn't take the pain.
The nurse looked at me and my dad and asked if I had been given any meds for this procedure. My dad said no. The nurse stopped and apologized. She said without the meds, it would feel like she was trying to pull a watermelon through a straw. My dad felt bad, but after the meds, they could have pulled a melon through my nose and I wouldn't have cared.
I do not laugh at pain. The worst thing that ever happened to me was ingrown toenails getting cut out. The needle with the lidocaine gets pushed in REAL slow. They cut as they go.
44 years ago...give or take. Ring finger on right hand, split from the nail to that weird line before the first knuckle. Lengthwise gash took 5 or six stitches.
Red Ryder+steady diet of Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, and John Wayne movies = finger smooshed between the cocking lever and that sharp spring steel clip that holds it.
Trip to old Dr. Williams. Zip zap in the office and out. I didn't cry until he put some local in the cut. I didn't throw a screaming fit either. I was a little weird as a kid maybe.

Hell no. I'm normal now.
I have a big scar on my forehead. Fell on a 20P nail at 5.
50 some stitches. Here is the scar thats not in the hairline.
Didnt violate the skull vault, so a little numbing and stitched up in the Dr office. My mom says I fell asleep in her lap while he did it.....
Maybe I am touched too? @armorpl8chikn ?
Same doc who delivered me and my brothers. Also diagnosed my oldest brother with Cat Scratch Fever (the real disease) about 2 yrs later after this.
Not something the average small down family doc would pic up on. Smart guy. Sang Elvis tunes all the time too.
He also gave me a nearly $200 stethoscope when I headed to nursing school at 18. Said it was an honor to have the kids he delivered enter the medical profession.
Damn. I miss small farm town living.

Nah....yer way beyond that. You're what we call roun heer, tettched.
This is going to be there I was..." all night. But there I was, CPT in SF at Fort Bragg having bladder issues. Back and forth with the doc and I need to go someplace so he says "come in and I'll do a quick check." So I do and get a "rigid cystoscope exam" with nothing but "This will hurt but you're tough." I ain't THAT tough but I made the plane. (Look it up, usually done with a general or a spinal.) Peed blood for a week but got to on mission.
Remind me to tell you about my vasectomy sometime, its a real guffaw.
I have some great pictures from work. But they aren't motivational they are just gross. Maybe they motivate you to never mind your own business, deal drugs, smoke, drink or drive, swim cook food, use a shop vac... The list is endless.
The more interesting ones are the guy who sucked his eye out with the shop vac. Our the guy with the broken chop stick up his dick... Ah sweet memories from work.
Can't wait until my shift tomorrow...

This guy walked through the range parking lot and passed behind the pistol range and over to the demo range. Interesting stuff starts at about the 40-second mark.

Imagine how much shorter the video would have been if he had a real knife???
He's a retired officer. We don't allow them to have real knives; too dangerous.
Some of our officers carried guns and / or live ordinance and had problems identifying the correct target. Had one guy drop 2 x live 2000 lb bombs within 100m of the range control tower that I was standing on the roof of. I would not trust him with a tooth pick, let alone a mini Swiss Army knife.
Well, whatcha gonna do? They gotta keep someone around for the enlisted to salute.
Ever pass a 2LT without saluting? He's sure to challenge you. Respond with, "But sir, the flag is down." Only works after 1700.
Surpised his antlers stayed on this late in the year. In the northeast I've found fresh sheds near Xmas
Different rank structures down here but I do remember being reprimanded by a Wing Commander and a Squadron Leader, my right arm was broken and in a sling, they told me I should have used my left hand to salute, I pointed out that I was carrying a Browning 9 mm in my left hand as I was escorting their pay packets. This was back in the days when we got paid with real money.
Saw another just a few minutes before this one. I counted 11 points.
Lol. we always fared better when blood was visible, or pouring out.
Played hockey from a very young age and spent a fair amount of time in the ER. Three broken noses, 100+ stitches in the face, broken and cracked ribs, bruised kidney and various other injuries. Took a puck to my right eye which split me wide open. They put a few butterflies on me and send me back out to finish the game. At ER they took x-rays which showed a cracked orbital ridge. Worst was when i took a hit and dislocated my collar bone at the sternum and looked like I had a golf ball under my skin. Pain was intense and my whole side went numb and thought I was going t pass out. They jerked my arm back to put it in place without anesthesia and taped me up. Still pops out on occasion when lifting.
Never assume Crazy will act logically.... woman sneaks into impound lot- retrieves car

So many problems with that whole situation from an officer safety perspective.
Beware of the talking panda.....
