So I Had An Operation...

[andyroo]

And the consultant gave me a dvd with the arthroscopy footage on it! How cool is that? What pleasant (or unpleasant) surprises have you had lately?

The technician who fitted my in car DAB radio also fixed my soft-open glove box lid, without even mentioning it. That was a pleasant surprise.

You used to be a man?

[Doofus]

My missus gave me back the £50 she'd borrowed form my wallet, and I didn't even know she'd taken it.

Free dosh!

"Well Ted you see, I have no willy."

[okgo]

I found an expensive watch I thought I had lost

[Mojooo]

Was that on the NHS?

I am due a knee op and I was hoping they would give me pics of the inside of my knee but I dont really see why they would!

They wouldnt even give me the bits of my own cartilage they cut out when I had mine done!

I'll have to sweet talk my surgeon.

I was really annoyed that they didnt give me mine, I still have the teeth that my dentist pulled out for my orthodontic treatment when I was about 11, I might be a bit odd

I had an Authuroscopy, they don't tell you the knee swells up twice the size of the other one. I spent many a day strapped to a packet of Birdseye frozen peas. Should have gone to BUPA

[deevlash]

my knee swole up a fair bit too but they gave me plenty of nice anti inlfammatory drugs and pain killers just incase. I had a massive slice in my knee too as the lump was too big to pull out with the arthroscopy grabber thing

[matt12023]

When/if they take the intramedullary nail out of my thigh i'm going to pester the hell out of them to give it me back after

A lot of hospitals no longer do this as their lawyers have told them that patients' lawyers can use this as evidence for claim against the hospital or surgeon. Sad but true
