How many times have you been in the hospital?

[Robert59]

How many times have you been in the hospital? I've been in hospital twice this year and will not be going back anytime soon. I know of a friend that's been in hospital 18 times in two years.

In my whole life, maybe 5 times, each time critical, but I haven't been in the last 5 years.

Three. In 1970 when I had my son. In 1982 when I had my appendix taken out. And in 2002 when I had one of my parathyroids removed.

I spent my birthday in the hospital and haven’t been back since.

4 times .. the 1st time, in my teens, to have tonsils removed, caesarean in '83. The last time, 20 yrs. ago.

Overnight, never. Emergency room, many.

Tonsils, overnight. Childbirth, several times by several nights; Colon cancer, 4 weeks; lung cancer, 1 week; PAD stents, many times, many days & nights. UGH. Glad I never thought this could happen to me.

The last two stays I had gorgeous rooms, one overlooking East River, the other the Empire State Bldg. Both had 75! inch TVs in Private Rooms. That definitely helped the awful experiences.

Tonsillectomy, stay was 4 days due to complications.
Hysterectomy, stay was 11 days ... hemorrhaging.
Cholecystectomy, it was an out-patient surgery.
Lumpectomy, it was an out-patient surgery. I was so ready to leave. And happy.

Many visits to a hospital for other procedures, tests, radiation, biopsies etc.

The only overnight I ever had was when my first child was born.
When youngest was born, I was only at hosp. for 4 hours.

 

[JustBonee]

Have been in a hospital three times in my life, and that was to bring home babies ...

Went to emergency once when I was 19, after a car accident.
My car was totaled by a drunk man. I only had arm bruises, but they took me to the hospital anyway.

Birth of my Son. (overnight)
Birth of my daughter.
