It’s the kind of stuff that might embarrass you, but it's great for making others chuckle and groan with sympathy.
Inspired by content creator @marield292, former patients revealed the most ridiculous, downright dumbest reasons why they ended up in the ER. Scroll down for a good laugh, and be sure to share these stories with any doctors you know.

The Milk Race (a big deal cyclist race in the UK). We were going up through Burrington Coombe near Cheddar Gorge. Guy came off his bike after smashing into the cliff wall. My partner was a doctor. We stopped to help. Guy had swallowed his tongue. My partner managed to get his tongue back in place. St John's Ambulance people turn up. Load the guy feet first into the ambulance. Stretcher slippy plastic cover. Guy slips off onto his head. I couldn't believe the incompetence. Complained to St John's HQ who dismissed me. Visted the cyclist in hospital as he was American and I thought he might need some basic toiletries, snacks etc. I'll be charitable and put it down to concussion but heavens he was so rude.

A stomachache that didn't stop for hours already, rushed to e.r and dr. said that I'm already going to give birth😭.... wth 😳 I'm not pregnant, I told her that my stomach is flat, my menstruation is normal and not delayed😭... but dr. said i am one of few rare cases.. we got discharge w/ healthy baby boy😭.. we got home w/ no things for the baby; clothes, ward and etc..
fun fact: 12 yrs married, we did everything for me to get pregnant but were unsuccessful.. we planned to adopt and while processing the papers our house was burned our application got rejected.. we are already at the point of accepting that maybe it's not for us, being a parent..but after 4yrs. miracle happened in unexpected time and way.
I didn't believe that kind of pregnancy existed until it happened to me.. it's a cryptic pregnancy, that's what it's called

A friend - not very bright - was working at a cigarette factory and a feather dropped into the machine. He reached in and a bar came down and broke his arm.

Local furniture factory in the 80's. Guy cuts a finger off, they take him to the hospital and surgeon reattaches it. He goes back to the plant to give them the paperwork and the super and some other management are standing at his station discussing how it could even happen. He steps up and says, "like this" and cuts the same finger off on the other hand. Before you ask how anyone can be this stupid, this was in Virginia. Just look at Virginias latest election results and you'll understand how stupid people here can be.

Hey, friend, you don't get to make medical decisions for other people, nor do you get to make proclamations on other peoples' decisions about their medical care or healthcare.
Load More Replies...Deciding whether or not to call an ambulance and head to the emergency room is a tough dilemma. On the one hand, your health and life are at stake, and they should be your priorities. On the other hand, there’s often a voice in the back of your head telling you that you might, potentially, be overreacting and that everything ‘should’ be fine, and you don’t want to waste ER doctors’ time. (And depending on where you live, healthcare might be prohibitively expensive, so there’s the financial aspect to worry about, too.)
Concordia University notes that many ER visits aren’t actual emergencies, and the issues can be addressed by a doctor, pharmacist, or at home. This way, you might be taking up time and resources that could be used for actual emergency cases. Meanwhile, showing up at the ER without good cause might lead to you getting infected by sick patients.
Here are some serious health problems that mean you should immediately seek emergency help:
- Suffering severe physical trauma after an accident
- Losing consciousness
- Severe abdominal pain, especially with a fever
- Sudden strong headaches
- Sudden chest pains
- Shortness of breath
- Sudden numbness in your arms or legs or blurred vision
- Having a rapid pulse while resting, without having exercised or been in emotional stress

got a weird headache that didn't go away for like a week, arms and face started going numb. went to ER, neck is broken. I didnt do anything to injure myself. it just broke. this was 3 weeks ago and I'm in a brace right now

I feel for you, those neck braces cause me great pain. Last time I was in one it was just an unnecessary precaution. I asked them to remove it, nurse said only the doctor could remove it. I said "wrong" and grabbed the velcro and pulled it off and handed it to her. I had a kidney stone, not a neck injury.

My daughter had colic for the first few months - Dr pescribed a medication. Next day she was very sleepy (unlike usual awake and screaming). Rang health Visitor (UK nurses for first year of life + other stuff) recited the name of the meds (merbentyl) and dose. She said wait there, do not go out - whole fricking team came out to take babe to hosp. Turns out he'd prescribed an adult dose, 10 times what it should be for a babe. Edit to say - she was fine in the end.

Thus is a real concern! Babies that take too long to eat or sleep too much and don't eat are in danger of severe malnutrition. Even if they are eating all the time while awake, the energy required consumes more calories then they take in.

Én azt hittem,pneumothoraxom van,de addig nyüglődtem,mire végre én is kidörrentem. Életmentő volt.
Meanwhile, according to Concordia University, here are some situations where you should probably not go to the ER:
- Having a cold or the flu, when symptoms (runny nose, congestion, sore throat, sneezing, fever, chills, muscle aches, headache, etc.) are mild and can be treated at home
- Getting minor burns, cuts, or scrapes
- Minor aches or pains
- Visiting to get your prescription refilled
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that if you are experiencing a great deal of sudden pain and your symptoms are very much out of the ordinary, you should call an ambulance. In these cases, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. In the meantime, being slightly uncomfortable is usually nothing to worry about, so instead of heading to the ER, speak to your local pharmacist or family doctor.
As HCA Virginia points out, if you can describe your sudden headache as the “worst headache ever,” go to the ER. This can be a sign of a migraine, an aneurysm, or a stroke.
In the meantime, Medline Plus advises that if you’re ever unsure of what to do, call your primary care provider, health insurance company, or nurse telephone advice hotline so that they can help you as best as they can.

Sitting on our front porch a MOTH divebombed my ear. ER 1st said they couldn’t do anything I would have to go to an ENT Monday, it was Sat night. In near tears I begged if there was anything they could do. A Dr came in with a tool he carried in his own bag & pulled the moth out. It fluttering in my ear was one of the worst things I’ve experienced.

My son-in-law had the same thing happen to him while he was sleeping! He went to urgent care where the doc told him there was nothing in his ear.

I have zero problems with 99% of insects and spiders, I don't get grossed out or squeamish about ANY of them.... EXCEPT for earwigs. I HATE them. Ex could hear the earwig crawling and scraping in his ear canal. Took him to Urgent Care where they removed it. I wanted to scream when I saw it was an earwig XD Ex says that listening to something alive crawl and scritch around in his ear canal was one of the worst things he's ever experienced, so I imagine that moth was pretty bad for your son-in-law as well!

Somewhat different for my husband. He's standing in our kitchen one day and starts gasping and choking. I look over and go "what's wrong?"

Thankfully he coughed it up.

What are the most ridiculous reasons you’ve ever ended up in the emergency room, dear Pandas?
On the flip side, have you been to the ER before due to something incredibly serious? If you’ve ever worked at an ER, how often do you have patients come in who have actual emergencies versus those who overreact?

Infections are not caused by burns. Infections result from the burn violating the peotective layer of our immune system (skin) so bacteria/fungi can more in and cause infection. You can be burned (even severely) and w proper care not get an infection. [Source: infeftious disease specialist]

She had a number of operations, skin grafts and everything, and still after several years, that whole area was extremely sensitive, she could hardly bear anything touching her skin there. She was told that a few nerve endings ended up exposed, so they would always be this sensitive.

In general the medical field is filled with people, and just as many are careless, negligent or stupid as people in any other field. My father was electrocuted once, and died on the spot, then his heart restarted a few seconds later. The EMTs took one look at him (no examination, literally just one look from the door), and because he was conscious, they told him it was a criminal offence to waste their time and started to leave. We had to physically grab them and force them to look at his hand with a wound that looked like the ones you get from a lightning strike. They started treating him very quickly after that...

Burns do not cause infection. Burns damage a major part of your protection from infection (skin) which allows for the bacteria/fungi to invade and cause infection.

when they were small, my stepbrothers were chasing each other through the house. 1 runs through the lounge, straight into the sliding doors. We're PMSL. He goes through door, closes it behind him, runs around house. His twin brother provided the deja vu seconds later. I still laugh at that memory from 1987.

While mowing a neighbor's yard when I was 10, I hit a hornet's nest and was stung more than 30 times with little effect other than the stings; my mowing buddy was stung once on the big toe and his eyes swelled shut. (While trying to escape the hornets, I raced into another neighbor's front door, and straight through the living room, dining room and kitchen and out the back door. The wife of that neighbor told me her husband was sitting drinking a beer as I dashed through, thought he was seeing things and walked to the sink to pour out his beer.) Whether due to the stings or not, I don't know, but I had a bee sting send me into anaphylactic shock as an adult.

My dad cut his hand badly with an electric hedge trimmer and had to drive himself to hospital as at that time none of the rest of the family could drive. No problems with the car. Glad it wasn't today as the local hospital no longer has an A&E unit and I think they've even got rid of minor injuries, so it would have been a 20 mile drive down the motorway and not 3 miles on a B-road into town.

Ate too much sushi and then got dumping syndrome. (Google it) Fainted from the pain and then subsequently hit my head and knocked myself out on the floor. I was unconscious for half an hour and out of it for 3 hours. I don’t remember most of it. I still love sushi.
Ace 2 months ago (edited)
As they choose not to explain, this has nothing to do with sushi, it's a physical issue with food moving from the stomach to the small intestine too quickly, is normally associated with recent gastro-intestinal surgery and high sugar meals, and only very rarely would cause fainting. So I'm suspecting that this person just had a low blood sugar episode, something completely different. Edit: Oh, and it's not generally very painful, more discomfort, stomach cramping, sorta thing, so "passing out from the pain", if it were true, would imply something completely different.

Apart from everything else, I looked like half a Dumbo, because the swelling was so severe, it pushed my (enlarged, cherry red) ear out to a complete 90 degrees from my head.
