10 years ago when I was having my gall bladder surgery I was sitting in the prep room waiting to be taken in for the surgery. About 20 minutes before I was scheduled to go in, they came in and told me that they had to move me back because they were having to do surgery on a guy with kidney stones. Not knowing any better (and never hoping to find out now) I asked, "what makes his situation any worse than mine". (I was told that they HAD to take my gall bladder out that day before it burst and caused other issues).
They told me that they would give me something to make my pain better and I could hang on the extra half hour. I didn't believe them until I saw them wheel the guy in...I seriously thought his head was going to do a 360....i completely expected his head to burst like something from the movie "Scanners". And I swear i thought I saw him bend one of the rails on the bed. (Most of what I saw might be contributed to the meds they gave me to make me feel better)
