Have you ever had to wear a surgical mask for some medical issue?

when I was sick and my grandfather was in the hospital I had to wear one. But other than that no.

Once when I worked in the ER, I saw a doctor staple a mans face onto his head, it had been lying on his chest and only attached by the chin. It was bizarre.\n\nAlso, when I was playing in a Rock band at a show, there were this troup of body piercers who suspended themselvs from a giant mobile hanging from hooks in thier back, they swung around in giant circles over the crowd as we played. Pretty intense stuff.

I was a volunteer Firefighter/ETT for awhile and my first medical response was an auto accident victim. I went to the hospital to meet the ambulance and help offload the patient and give the EMTs some support. The ambulance arrived, the rear doors opened, and I was stunned at what I saw. But the training kicked in immediately.\nWe transferred the patient to the emergency room and everyone did everything they could. There was no hope.\nI still remember giving chest compressions and looking unto the patient's brown eyes and praying "God help us help this man".\nThe doctor told me to stop compressions and I felt so helpless. It was over.\nI didn't sleep that night. I still see his eyes.\nYou won't forget what you saw. But your neighbor is gone.\nYou're okay, you're safe. Just cherish and appreciate life.

in case of an emergency... like you stop breathing during your procedure or something... that way they can get to you quick to work on you and not have to take the time to cut off all of your clothes with scissors.

By mentioning the mask, I assume you mean oral herpes (not genital). There is no absolutely risk to you unless he somehow transfers the virus to you by direct contact. And he/she is not under obligation here to tell you of such things. \nFrom the other angle, do you think dentists stop treating patients because they have oral herpes? Or anything else they may not tell us or even KNOW themselves. Gee whiz, you might even have Hep C! That's why we have standard infection control procedures. We have more of a vested interest in protecting ourselves and staff from unknown patients than the other way around.

Could be.  Everybody reacts to surgery different.  I would ask a Doc just in case.

OK here it goes.. i tried not to think of this for years..sigh...A couple of years ago i had to have allergy shots once a week,since I'm not a huge fan of shots i usually turn my head.The doctor got me to roll up my sleeve and told me to take a deep breath,well i was trying to keep my mind off the needle so i decided to play with the leaves on the huge plant my DR keeps in his office.Turns out it felt funny so i turned my head to see with horror that i had my hand was below his belt area and i was molesting my Dr...I don't have that DR anymore...

My tonsils had to be removed because they were always infected.\n\nI was in the second grade. I brought them to show and tell. I remember I was very sore and couldn't speak and it really hurt to swallow. I ate lots of vanilla pudding and I got a lot of presents, including a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles watch. Mom said when I opened that present it was the first time she had seen me smile since the surgery.

I have one myself, several years now.  Occured sometime after lung transpalnt surgery.  My doctor has told me that it is only a problem if it strangulates my intestines, otherwise don't worry.  Since you are also worried about your appearance, you may want to look into surgical repair, that's the only way to remove one.  A good surgeon can do this with minimal scar and can even hide the scar in your belly button.

Yes, I had it done about 9 months ago. Most insurance company will pay for it if you claim you need to do it for medical reasons. Problems with your back, rashes. I had  my breast and a tummy tuck done. I will tell you this, tummy was much less painful. I would get it done all over again but the plastic surgeons underestimate the breast surgery it was painful.

I was living in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Met awesome sexy beautiful woman. Was super eager to get together with her. My fly was stuck. I reefed it down then pulled up. Eeeeeeeeeeek! Blood was pulsating out of me. She was freaked(as was I ). No stitches. A superficial wound.It was still awful when they untangled me at the hospital.\nThe worst part was everyone in the building knew what happened.Including her man.\nHer boyfriend broke my nose and shattered my right orbital bone. Which I think was a lot worse, almost.
