I don't even count wisdom teeth removal as a surgery. I've had all four of them removed but they barely use some Novacaine on it and voila.

That electrocution thing sounds bad ___ and the finger fusion sounds like Donald Duck status.

Glad everyone gets to share these stories, safe and sound.

Now the question is how much would you have spent on your surgeries if you weren't covered by insurance.
I received bills after each surgery which indicated the owed balanced (thank God $0) but there were all of details written on them and they total up to what?
Any takers over a 10 surgery spam? Winner gets a cookie.

Had ankle surgery in Feb, from two torn ligaments and bone spurs. I am still recovering, and still have not found my ability to run. Here are some fun pics...

Fell of a shipping dock and landed on it side ways. Hens to say my boss denied it and I had to pay for it. JERK! Plus I rolled my ankle every five min. so it really never had a chance.

Yes I do, finding a good job is hard as heck, and the pay is good. Plus ever since all this happened I can cuss him out right back, he is now too afraid to fire me, he knows I can have is ****. But I do not believe in suing, what goes around comes around, and I am buying my time till I find something better. Sure it suckes really bad, and my boss is my step siblings step father so if I screw him I screw them, so bad deal any way you look at it.

Well my boss owns the company, and it is a small business with under 10 employees, so he would be screwed hard. But to be fair, I am the one who has worked for him all this time knowing what type of jerk he is, so I am not entirly in the right either. But he should have owned up to it when it happened. Lesson is don't be the nice guy, because you don't want to screw anyone over, they will just screw you in the end./rant lol
