Yes No Have you ever had your appendix removed? - Results (5 votes) Yes 20% (1 vote) 1 No 80% (4 votes) 4 Just had mine out pretty recently. It was my first surgery ever. I kinda expected appendicitis to be more painful. It was painful and uncomfortable but not excruciating. The most intense part of the whole experience was the morphine shot honestly. I cant believe how quick healthcare professionals are to try and give you opioids like that. --- I'm just looking for a nice girl to tickle my feet without touching my chin. <cite>Try_Another___ posted [p:949103080] in Anyone her...

NightingaleMD 01/04/21 5:53:00 PM #2:	It shuts patients up so we can focus on other things, last thing I need is a nurse nagging me about pain as I try to get shit done And yes, it really isn't that bad. A lot of people have a very, very poor tolerance for pain. Anyone that has ever, at any point in their life said, "I normally have a high pain tolerance, but..." has zero tolerance for pain fyi --- Pit doc <cite>NightingaleMD posted [p:949103177] in Anyone her...

The part of being a doctor that seems hardest to me is dealing with the fact that not every patient is going to make it easy for you, be grateful for what youre doing, etc. --- I'm just looking for a nice girl to tickle my feet without touching my chin. <cite>Try_Another___ posted [p:949103292] in Anyone her...

I remember writhing in pain back and forth until they finally gave me that shot and then I was instantly good --- https://imgur.com/plA0Vg9 https://media.giphy.com/media/dgK22exekwOLm/giphy.gif <cite>BignutzisBack posted [p:949103365] in Anyone her...

MC_BatCommander 01/04/21 6:01:41 PM #5:	Yes I had mine out almost 10 years ago now. I agree the pain wasn't that bad, I figured I just strained a muscle there or something. When it persisted over night I figured there was something wrong and went to the hospital Surgery itself was cake, they performed a laparoscopic appendectomy which mean very few stitches, small scars, and super fast recovery time. I was up and walking and out of the hospital like 12 hours after the surgery. I got by on ibuprofen for the bit of pain I had when getting into and out of bed or sitting in a chair. --- The Legend is True! <cite>MC_BatCommander posted [p:949103496] in Anyone her...
