First medical procedure...

[Swanjaxs]

Appendix removed at 9 years of age.

Not as straightforward in the 70's as it is nowadays, before scans.

Involved some interesting prodding about if my memory serves me correctly

 

[Darran]

I’m not getting involved.
Up until a period in my life I’d never broken a bone,had stitches f*ck all. :lol:

Apparently I had an ear operation to remove an abscess as a baby. First one I remember though is the op I had to repair my mangled right knee when I was 17. The surgeon told me after it that I’d probably kneed a knee replacement by the time I was 50. I’m 51 now and I don’t think he was far wrong because it’s giving me constant pain now.

Knee replacements are very painful in the beginning.

That’s cheered me up, thanks.

I’m just making you aware of it doctors don’t tell you the truth.

3 stitches in arm at age of 9.
Was amazed watching Doctor sewing my flesh back together as if he was darning a sock.
A real impression was made on me about how talented people in the medical profession are.

I broke my ankle playing football at 29, the doc said "give up football or you'll be using a walking stick by 35"
Carried on playing and broke same ankle 3 years later, gave up playing after that, but still walking unaided, arthritis does creep in occasionally though

Both my knees are pretty much fucked now. There’s been two screws holding one together since 1988. I dread to think what’s floating round in there now. The noises every time I move it are gruesome enough.

Did anyone ever have adenoids removed?
I didn't but my sister did at a young age.
What exactly did the op involve?

Thank you Paul Merton :lol:

I once had to have stitches in the webbing in my hand between my thumb and forefinger after picking up a cup that had just come out of a industrial dishwasher that was scolding hot.
The cup smashed and blood splat against the wall of kitchen I was working in, 1 person spewed :lol:
