Confess something gross.... me first
When I was seven I carefully picked a hymnal page to wipe my boogers on.....
but then when was my liberal childhood church gonna sing "There was a fountain full of blood"?
.... before or after the snake handling?

1. You might not want to hear this:
When I was about 12 or so, I got a huge cut on my hand with a lot of blood pouring out. So during the time right after that when I was frantically looking for a band-aid and some disinfectant, I was sucking on and drinking my own blood coming from the hand.

Yep.

5. I've sucked my own blood before
It wasn't as much as your wound but I've done it before! :)

4. I was so hungry once,
and all I had was a quarter, that I ate fish food pellets from the koi food dispenser at the zoo.

6. At a party once, I attached 15 plastic clothespins . . .
. . . yes, in various places down there. And displayed my "performance art" to at least 3/4 of the partygoers.

Surprisingly, it wasn't all that painful.

7. when I was 3
I used to eat dried flies from the sil under the picture window of our beachfront house.

Dad said that my constant 'crunch, crunch, crunch' finally distracted him from his book. Then he said that he hadnt become distracted for about ten minutes. He said it was a good book. I said they were good flies.

:puke:

10. I wore my hair in braids when I was little,
and I used to chew on the ends. They would get pretty yucky.

11. my left pinky dislocates from time to time
It looks nasty. Not good. I just snap it back over though. It grosses people out when they see me do it too. :)

20. That's nothing.
I dislocate my shoulder at will. I gained this skill after I unwillingly dislocated my shoulder in karate. I use this ability to silently freak my sister out during major family dinners. It'll never grow old.

21. I have dislocated my shoulder well over twenty times
my left one. Had a bull riding accident and during wrestling season it got worse. It would pop out in matches and be hanging down all gross etc. I'd have my coach snap it in then finish the match etc. I had it reconstructed so it hasn't done that in over ten years now. My pinky is all I have left to entertain people with, lol.

22. Yeah, I'm going to need surgery eventually.
The best is when I dislocated it sparring, my karate instructor just yelled, "God, gave you two arms. Use the other one!" So I got to continue sparring with my left hand dangling around my knee. After the match, he popped it back in. Oddly enough, my over-protective mother was fine with all of this.

23. yeah get it done as soon as you can
one bad shoulder will make your other one get bad too. I live with a lot of aches and pains because of my shoulders. They snap and crack nastily all the time. It effects how much you can lift in the weight room and all of that stuff too. Just a tough thing to live with let alone train with. But, you'll feel it later on. Guaranteed. I used to never be bothered by it, but now, I feel the wear and tear in my joints something fierce. And for gosh sakes, don't dislocate it on purpose! :puke:

Oh yeah, but when it gets popped back in, it's nearly orgasmic isn't it? :)

12. I Had a Cystoscopy Yesterday
That's where they stick a tube and camera up your pee-pee into your bladder. Gross and extremely painful (I'm a chick, so I didn't get any anesthesia).

13. I've had those before
I've had another procedure just done in the office too, where the doc just shoves a tube inside... well yeah.. you know.

I'm a male, but for some reason I would get chronic UTIs. All of those procedures suck, to say the least.

19. I've Had Too Many Colonoscopies
Again, without anesthesia because I have the paradoxical reaction to Versed, so while they administered it, it had no effect. To add insult to injury, turns out I have Crohn's in the *small* intestine, where the 'scope doesn't reach.

Had a cystoscopy/ureteroscopy with Holmium laser and stent placement less than a year ago - that was INCREDIBLY horrifically painful (in fact, my left ureter still hurts). I've been having a recurrent/chronic kidney (not bladder) infection for over 3 years now, plus I'm in early kidney failure from FSGS, so the scarring from the infections is Bad News. But at least no bladder tumors.

15. I accidentally ate some really rancid hummus once
I would advise you not to do that. Just thinking about it makes my stomach churn.

30. thank you for that
I have two half eaten humus containers in the fridge, was deliberating whether to try them to see if they're still good. You've convinced me that they go in the trash :-)

26. I spent a month of Med School in Forensic Path
Edited on Sat Apr-15-06 02:21 PM by Ramsey
I remember two autopsies we did in particular. The smells were the worst.

One was a body that had been stuffed into a septic tank. To even be able to go in the room with the body, we all had to slather a really strong mint paste under our nostrils, and even that didn't help much.

We also autopsied a truck driver that burned up inside his truck when it caught on fire. He looked like a big roast, and smelled like one too. I didn't eat any meat of any kind for about 10 years after that. Thinking about it still grosses me out, 15 years later.

28. Dinner table talk
Yes, we docs really have to watch the shop talk at the dinner table! It can be easy to forget that most people don't spend their day seeped in other people's bodily misfunctions.
