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."

Hospitals and nosebleeding.One of my colleagues -- let's call him Patrick-- whose Dad is a GP. He has a massive nosebleed. So Patick and his mum come home to find a trail of blood leading to his desk in the study.
The desk was awash with blood, blood soaked tissues, and a bloody note reading "Gone to Hospital".
So, the qualified, practicing doctor, called an ambulance, and soon he was lying in the back of it, holding his nose trying to stem the bleeding. The paramedic, almost patronisingly, told him "Ah, Doctor, you should know better than that, you should be sitting up rather than lying down"
Patrick's Dad: "If I sit up, I'll faint."
Paramedic. "No you won't"
[he sits up]
[he promptly faints]
There was no need for him to sit up, eh?
