To give me medications and a load of painkillers after my reconsructive surgery on my ankle. The details of it are gross XD

Umm... Dx

It involved sawing off an overgroen piece of bone, deepening the groove in my ankle joint, cutting and tightening the tendon in my leg... ._.

I believe you have said enough.

Let's see who has had the worst close-scrapes 

Edited. Removed the things that aren't near death.

Okay, so, WTH. You removed mine but kept one that was exactly the same!?

Hmm, would you consider falling 30 feet off a tree near death... because, I mean, I hit branches along the way that slowed my fall the tiniest bit. Still, barely anything was injured except my chest hurt for the day and my leg was injured the rest of the summer. (Yet no cast, I just stood on one leg for the summer... or crawled. >.<)

Edit: Also, what about in first grade being next to an 8th grader when he punted a football across the field, instead hitting my chest? (He was two feet away!)

The first one is... definately.

LOLOLOLOLOL.
Seriously, an explosion of FAIL.

Apparently, My friend cracked his head open and touched HIS OWN BRAIN.

Not sure if truth, or really stupid.

Whoa! I'd have had the 3DS, it sounds kinda cool!
There was a PS2 for the appendix kid, and I got nothing... except for work.
It was the last day of school term, yet I still had to do SCHOOLWORK this creepy woman gave me 
I saw lots of terrifying stuff really, and the nurses on the ward were as useful as my pinky toe. They were trying to find out where my vein was (they gave me freeze gel, but the op was postponed by 9 HOURS so it wore off) and I looked away and all I could hear was them saying 'Darn, where is it? No, go up a bit. No, wrong vein. Come on!'
It took them like 2 minutes to fix it up and there was no pain relief :S
And I could here this kid choking all night... D:

What were they doing with your vein..?

*pokepokepoke* dont worry we almost have it *pokepokepoke* no really we're nurses *pokepokepoke* the vein has to be here somewhere *pokepokepokepoke* not that one and so on

Lol yeah XD Only more like *pokestabwigglestab* Nearly... *stabstabwigglestab*

I mean what was in the iv?

There was that water stuff (running from a bag on the wall) and anaesthetic when I was in the operating theatre. :S

If he touched his brain he'd be dead.

Most likely... but then how do brain surgeries work? I think it would depend on what part he touched- the central part where all the breathing stuff- dead. But a part that contains memory or something like that? Might cause brain damage, but kill? I doubt he touched his own brain. The human brain is the size of two adult fists pressed together is located in the center of the human head and is surrounded by a massive amount of protective stuff along with the skull. I'm not sure you could touch it. Brain damage takes A LOT. I don't know, I don't know a ton about medical stuff.

All right.

It was totally black, and I got this feeling I was climbing a dark staircase. There was a light at the very top, I was almost there when I was revived by my friend. No one really knows about it, I just didn't think about it much before. I was like in this in-between world...

That is just plain AWESOME. Not the fact that you could have died, but the fact that you went into this sort of afterlife. I always wonder about the afterlife.
