What’s the worst Injury you’ve sustained or witnessed someone else?! In real life. Not web videos.

stubbing toes?

God Bless you for your service. I have been a sin eater for many fine military folks but am too small to have ever served. #MAGA

Maybe guys feel wierd about posting a hero they fought with's trauma on the junior high bathroom wall? For enemies to read?

When I was a kid in the early 1960s, there wasn't urgent care, the hospital was miles away and you called the doctor whose office was in his house. Ambulances were station wagons with lights. There were no helicopters.

8 years old, running through field, pile of metal, tripped and fell, through the hand. In the palm, out the top. Back in the 1960s, it took a minute to get to the doctor. Weird thing is didn't hurt.

Another time I was entertaining my little brother by sliding on the hallway floor up to his crib. There was a nail sticking up about a half inch on the floor and my left palm went right over it, taking it down to the bone. That was bad.

My mother was screwing around in the barn in the hay loft and fell off the ladder and landed on one of the gallon glass jugs we used for "home made adult beverages" which cut tendons, sliced an artery. Priest came to school to get me, drove me home. Fire trucks, blood everywhere. Mom was white as a sheet, in and out, didn't recognize me at first. Everyone in town talked about that one for a long time. Busting yourself up on a moonshine bottle without being drunk was, apparently, hysterical. She was on crutches for a long time.

When it’s gushing out you can feel your spirit being pulled out with it.

Most blood is Iron based. Some critters are copper based.

Octopuses horseshoe crabs and such. 8 legged blue bloods.

Saw someone stand on a Lego brick once. Luckily they were wearing steel capped saftety boots and a welding mask.

And now those light bulb headed skinnies are here.

I think both of us are typing out of our league here to discuss the nuances of metals that blood smells like. There are many people here who have been in battle and tug-me-forelock to you, and they would know more then either of us. That was my guess. So we shall drop this then, m'kay.

I'm a decorated, 2 tour, dedicated qrf/medic. The injuries that a human can obtain and heal from are physically, and mentally amazing. I'm talking,... dudes with mortar shrapnel in their brains walking and talking (albeit not 100%) in 3 months. the ability of American doctor working in teams is amazing.

in air blood in Iraq tastes like a dirty penny. in america is almost has the same taste, but with a touch of tinfoil.... and what ever deodorant/perfume Your pat is wearing and sweat activates.

When I was 10, I ran through a plate glass window on accident at a birthday party.

My father was a physician and surgeon and he came to the e.r. and stitched me back up and sent me back to the birthday party so the kid's wouldn't think I was dead.


I was in a wheelchair all summer.


In a Mountan bike race, I crashed on a hyperextended elbow and shortened my arm by about 4 inches and made it that much bigger at the joint. Tore all of the soft tissue and had to push my bike an hour to the trailhead.

then had to get to the e.r. and blacked out several times.

that is enough for me.

Jesus came over to our house, across the street from his, and his neck was cut. His wife did it. Blood spurting from his carotid, all over the couch, we tried to help him. Never seen so much blood. And when that much blood pools it coagulates. If you cut someone's throat they don't die in a few seconds like on tv, it takes minutes. Meanwhile their blood is squirting all over the place even if you put many towels on their neck and hold it tight. Even with 3 people and 2 who were trained medics, the blood just doesn't stop gushing.

At a outside a bar I saw a girl I did not really know well douse herself with gasoline

Like a iron skillet

In 1983 I saw an Asian woman with long hair performing martial arts moves with a sword. This was in a mostly Puerto Rican neighborhood in the Lower East Side of Manhattan where lots of people hung out on the streets. She became very popular in the neighborhood apparently, as I remember encountering crowds of people, mostly men gathered around her in circles on sidewalks and in the streets.

She was entertaining to watch, but she seemed more fervent each time I came across one of her impromtu street performances. She seemed eirie-- almost possessed, and I never got near her. I saw glimpses of her between onlookers as I walked by.

One day I was watching her performance from the fire escape outside my 6th floor apartment. She was in the street, spinning around with her sword. She would suddenly stop and make mock stabbing thrusts with her sword. As usual, a crowd of men gathered in a circle around her.

Suddenly she thrust her sword deeply into the chest of a man in the crowd. He put his hands to his chest, then fell down. A river of blood streamed from his body and ran far down the street gutter. The crowd mostly dispersed, but the woman with the sword stayed. A ambulance and a police car arrived. The woman did not resist as the police arrested her. A police officer put her bloody sword into a plastic bag.

The ambulance workers loaded the man in the ambulance, but remained parked. The ambulance was not driven away for at least 30 minutes, and when it drove away it did so slowly with no lights flashing.

... and infiltrated our gov't...

Guy tried to cross freeway and got hit by car. Hit so hard his head came off.

Me personally..shattered kneecap

Idk what it is but have seen and responded to a lot accidents but haven't been a 1st responder in 20+ years.

1 dude burning alive and then died in front of me, in a suv. (Was suicide. We tried to get to him but the asshole had gas cans all through out a big truck & it kept exploding. Damn near took me and another dude out.)

Car accidents. The direct aftermath of suicide by cop. Came up on a dude who just cut his hand off frigging with his lawnmower.

I'm totally grossed out after reading all this crap, lol.

One time I saw a President get his head blown off in front
of the world, to make the statement that you do not fuck with the deep state.

I almost forgot. Saw some really, really nasty shit in a cancer hospital. Not injuries per say. Holy smokes, the worse possible shit you can imagine.

salute to alll vets, just went to my uncle military funural today vietnam. 21 salute.

Amen.

Toxic inhalation in a confined tunnel from a chemical spill burned up my throat and lungs, getting hit in the back of the head by a swinging crane hook that lost its load during that one i think i was floating up in the ceiling looking down at my self.

Maybe he was okay?

You know what a carpet knife is? Looks like a parrot's beak. I was stupidly using one to cut through the cable ties holding my kid's bike together in it's packaging. It eventually cut, but as I was using my full body weight to pull/cut upwards, it kind of jerked, and proceeded to slice my arm up about an inch deep and about 8 inches long.

My arm opened up like you open a cut mango. Lot's of blood. Quite a few hours of micro surgery on that one!

Also, was working really late in my workshop with a big disk sander. I was so wiped out, and the disk caught on my jumper. The more I pulled it away, the more it bit in, until it started sanding, then cutting into my gut.

I have many scars, with many stories behind each one....

You're joking, I guess. She may have directly pierced his heart with her sword, and she withdrew her sword after stabbing him with it so the hole was open. He lost so much blood so fast, that he likely died before the ambulance arrived. Don't know why they remained parked so long. Later wondered if they were removing his organs in the ambulance.

Yeah that could cut off supply to your femural artery, which is no good. Even a dislocated kneecap requires immediate medical attention to avoid losing the leg.

Betrayal, by two people closest to me. Lesson learned.

They would have to call it prior to removing organs, and they have to meet specific criteria to call it in an ambulance setting. I’ve heard of people who go to scenes and remove organs though. I don’t have a donor stamp on my identification because I don’t trust that someone won’t allow me to die when there was a chance they could save me. Sounds selfish huh? Well, if you’re a donor they might let you die to harvest your organs.
