Health: Today, I was in the hospital with rib injuries after being rear-ended...

Today, I was in the hospital with rib injuries after being rear-ended by a truck. The doc said, "Well, you'll probably feel like you've been hit by a truck for a while." Everyone laughed, except me. When I said he was being insensitive, he replied, "Calm down, I'm just ribbing you." FML

Today, I was rushed to hospital with two ribs sticking out of my chest, with blood everywhere, but did I get sympathy from my sister? No, I got accused of being hit by a forklift on purpose to ruin her birthday party, then she tried to rip my bandages off to "prove I was faking the whole thing" and split my stitches. FML

Today, I told the doctor that one of my ribs sticks out farther than the other. When I lifted my shirt to show him, he immediately laughed and said, "Whoa, that's not subtle is it!" As if I wasn't already insecure about it. 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

Today, I was working at the hospital and it was very busy. Unthinking, I told a patient in a wheelchair to "sit tight" while I checked on something. He mocked me for the rest of his stay. FML

Today, I was riding a bike when a truck accidentally hit me. The handsome driver came out and asked if I was alright. I said, "I am now" and winked. He said "Eww, no" then immediately ran away and drove his truck around me. FML

Today, two days after leaving hospital with a broken left leg, I tripped and fell heavily on the floor. My dad quickly asked if I'd broken my other leg. When I reassured him that I hadn't, he disappointedly muttered that it would've been a hilarious story to tell his friends at work. FML

Today, my boyfriend knocked into me with his car. I drove myself to the hospital because he couldn't stop laughing long enough to drive. FML

Today, I was at my job life-guarding, when a woman pushed the spine-board over, hitting me on the back of my head. She laughed, but I now have a concussion and a stiff neck, and my co-workers can't stop laughing at the "irony." FML

Today, I was in a car crash. While I was being immobilised by the paramedics to be taken to the nearest hospital, the passenger of the other car, who didn't have a single scratch, touched my shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, nobody got hurt." FML

Today, after coming home from the hospital after I fractured my foot, I fell in the bathroom and dislocated my wrist. The ER doctor couldn't stop laughing. FML

LOL!! That's hilarious! I think you're lucky. Having someone there to try and put a smile on your face after something horrible. Would've LOVED that when I was hit by a car.

I am surprised, and confused, that nearly 3k more people clicked "you deserved it" instead of "I agree your life sucks" seriously how did you deserve to get rear ended by a truck? and then have the insensitive jerk of a dr? Sorry. Hope you get well soon.

Wow. Grow a sense of humour, OP, and stop whining so much. I respect a doctor who works around pain and sadness all day and can still crack a good joke. Hilarious jokes, I might add.

Doctor: Problem, OP? -Trollface- Dude, I'd WAY sooner have a Doctor like that then the humourless drones you can sometimes get.

It's great that a doctor is displaying a sense of humor, but at the expense of their client who even expressed their discomfort, and then continued to make fun of their client? That's a problem. Sorry OP. Hope you found a new doctor or complained somewhere -.-

God, I hate insensitive assholes like that. They think because they're in a societally respected profession it is okay to bully others - it is not. He should be fired for bullying - sue him for everything he's got!!
