TIFU by trusting an ER doctor

A few weeks ago I randomly felt a crushing pain in my chest that I assumed would just go away. Twenty minutes after it started it turned into the most intense pain I have ever felt complete with sweating and vomiting. My friends drove me to the ER where I waited for three hours in complete agony before I was seen. The doctor seemed pretty unconcerned and told me I had acid reflux, without asking about my pain or doing blood work. I told him how painful it was for me and he told me he had it one time and it really hurt too. It could be noted at this point that I am 20 year old Latina woman, and the doctor did ask where I was really from.

I was pretty freaked out- but whatever life goes on. My mom said that it didn't sound like acid reflux and I should really get it checked out, but I told her the doctor said I was fine and had acid reflux and it wasn't a big deal and I had nothing to worry about.

Two weeks later the pain started again, not quite as bad but still horribly painful. I thought it was acid reflux and would be gone after I took my medicine. It did not. After 8 hours of suffering waiting it to go away, and it only getting worse I gave in and went to the ER again.

This time I was seen pretty quickly and the doctor was pretty unconcerned when I said I was here previously for the same issue and was told acid reflux. He said because I was just here and had bloodwork done I had nothing to worry about. I told him that I had not done any blood work and he suddenly seemed a little more concerned about me.

After a blood and urine test they found that my enzymes were not at the right levels and ordered a sonogram. They determined that I had gallstones and needed my gallbladder out. It was a Saturday morning and they discharged me with a hydrocodone prescription and told me to call the hospital on Monday to schedule a an appointment to see if I could get the surgery soon.

About 12 hours later I am in crippling pain yet again, the hydrocodone did absolutely nothing for my pain and I am forced to return to the emergency room again. The nurses took blood and once again seemed unconcerned.

After more bloodwork they found out that I was getting much worse and admitted me to the hospital. I ended up needing two surgeries and stayed in the hospital for 4 days(for comparison most people just need the surgery and return home the same day). My mom had to fly in, rent a car, and get a hotel to take care of me. I missed an entire week of my college classes and I am shuddering thinking of the bills from my three ER trips, two surgeries, and four days in the hospital.

TL;DR Trusted a first opinion from an ER doctor and ignored my moms advice and ended up hospitalized for several days for a simple issue.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
