If you had to describe your worst medical experience, what would it be?

There are many medical experiences I could think of. I hate going to the doctors. I would guess that lots of women would say giving birth, but I actually enjoyed that. When I had Ember I specifically remember being given some sort of muscle contracting medication. Blood clots the size of oranges! Which is not bad considering I just shit out a watermelon. How's that for a graphic picture? Well the point of this medication was to contract these clots out I guess. But it really mentally screwed with my head to the point where I was literally freaking out, almost like a bad trip.

Well, the point is, that was not my worst experience, it was just a brain fart I was thinking about. I would have to say my worst experience was when I was 12ish. I was walking around in my Grandma's room and I stepped on a toothpick.

One of my brothers had this habit of using these toothpicks (I have no clue what they used them for) and then snapping the tips, not completely, but enough so that they were in the shape of a Z. Well this toothpick was lodged in the bottom of my heal maybe about 1/3"-1/2" deep. It was excruciatingly painful. I was afraid to pull it out. I let it sit there and hobbled along. At some point I broke the dangling piece of the rest of the toothpick off.

I let it sit there overnight. The next day, I noticed a red line running up my leg almost reaching my knee. Someone mentioned the word lockjaw and I was then immediately taken to the local clinic. So the doctor is preparing to remove this "giant splinter", and I see this huge device they set on one of those little portable trays with the neat bluish-green napkins on the top. I remind you I am 12, but this foot long tweezers they pull out is very intimidating. Oh, yes, did I mention no anesthesia? That right there is the most horrifying experience ever.

Of course the actual act of the doctor removing it actually didn't hurt at all. After a few "Be careful where you step", and a tetanus shot later, I am all bandaged up and limping out. Not so bad right?
