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."

More fun with hospitals
I was playing (American) football, when a freak accident left me with a fully dislocated hip. After a 30-minute ride to the hospital, the nurses stuck me in the x-ray room and left. For 45 minutes. With no painkillers.

Finally, a nurse came back in and did the x-ray, and then left again. For another half hour. Still with no painkillers.

By this time, I'm completely pissed off. The nurse came back one more time, with the developed x-ray, and proceeds to hang it up and look at it (of course, in a position where I couldn't also see it).

So I ask her, what's the x-ray show?

The nurse just looked at me and said "I can't say, but there's a reason you're in pain."

Let's just say, she's lucky I couldn't get up off the table.

Oh, and I looked at the x-ray later, and it's completely obvious what happened. It was completely unnecessary for her to hide it from me.
