This is a question Now, there was no need for that...

Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

Breast abscess
A few years ago, I had a lump in my breast which turned out to be an abscess. After 3 days of looking like I had a 3rd tit, and the antibiotics not working, I went to the Emergency Room to have them drain it. The doc took one look and told me I needed surgery. Immediately.
They put me on the cancer ward (there was no need for that, but it was the NHS).
They sliced me open at 6am the next morning.
They left the wound open with dressing in it (There was a need for that, to drain the pus)
After I got home, I had a district nurse come round which was going to be a daily thing for a week.
The first district nurse took out a long metal pole and told me he needed to insert it in the wound to see how deep the abscess was (there was no fucking need for that!).

Mind you, the next day, the sent a female. I guess the male nurse had gotten a little scared when I told him I'd rip his balls off if that metal thing hurt me.
