Today, I went to the doctor for a check up, having had a head injury a week ago and suffering some memory loss. Turns out, the medicine he gave me for my head has memory loss as a side effect. He then said, "I told you. Don't you remember?" After I said no, he said, "I figured." and giggled. FML

Brain worms

Today, it's been several weeks, I went to the doctor for an ear infection and I still don't feel too good. It was then that I realized the doctor forgot to prescribe me medication for said infection. That explains a few things. FML

Fault

By Bleh - 22/06/2021 05:00 - United States - Midlothian

Today, I accidentally let slip to my mom that I hardly remember the graduation party she threw me four years ago. She proceeded to verbally assault me for forgetting the special occasion. I had a brain complication two years ago which resulted in some memory loss. Apparently, it's my fault. FML

Today, I was taken to the hospital after I fell down the stairs. The physician who saw me bit his lip and said he would have to amputate my foot, and I fainted in terror. One of the nurses later told me to "learn to take a damn joke." FML

Night terrors

By Tanisha Skye Regeling - 11/06/2020 23:02

Today, I woke up with a headache and a bruised forehead after my husband full-force elbowed me in the head last night in his sleep. It wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact he has zero memory of doing it. FML

Creepy nevertheless

Today, my new doctor gave me a breast exam and said everything was healthy, before adding "Well, I think so, anyway. I don't actually work here." As I freaked out, he laughed out loud, said he was just kidding, and that he should prescribe me a chill pill. FML

Far out, man

Today, I was worried about my brother because he said that his new medication was making him hallucinate. I told him he should see a doctor right away. He said it was fine and that he had already seen a doctor. I later found out the doctor he was talking about was a hallucination. FML

Emergency

By Kassiopia - 14/11/2009 12:35 - United States

Today, my Dad decided to take his medicine before eating. He passed out with his face in a plate of chocolate cake. He wasn't responsive so I called the paramedics. When he got to the hospital, the doctor asked him if he knew why he was there. He replied, "Because my stupid daughter overreacted." FML

Today, my doctor got my blood test results from the lab. He looked at me gravely and told me I had just weeks left to live. After I started hyperventilating and crying, he burst out laughing and said he was kidding. He then prescribed me some iron tablets and sent me on my way. FML

Ambien nights

Today, my roommates told me about all the stupid and embarrassing things I did last night, none of which I remember. Drunk out of my mind? No, I just tried a new sleeping pill after weeks of insomnia. I still barely slept. FML

Does anybody read the side effects list on medication before taking them?

Yes, it makes me realize I have all of them.

I need to know the name of the medication so I can use it for my defense in my upcoming masturbating on public transportation case.

A lot of anti-convulsant drugs have this effect.

My guess is that the medication OP was given is a narcotic. They don't cause amnesia, but they can knock you the hell out and make you feel like you're walking on the ceiling. Doctors should have a sense of humour, as should patients. Don't expect us to be robots that just dole out diagnoses and prescriptions.

So, would you please tell me how you would be able to tell if the amnesia was caused by the medication or the head injury?

If it's happening a week later, it's probably the medicine.

If your doctor did give you meds that have amnesia as a side effect, that's just a ridiculous thing to do for a head injury. How on earth are you supposed to tell if amnesia is just a result of the meds or a genuine symptom of something being wrong?! Your doctor is an idiot OP, FYL for having to pay for that shit.

Amnesia results from a serious head injury that causes swelling in the brain. The highly trained doctor that does this kind of shit for a living probably knows what he's doing.
