Waking up in a hospital is never a fun time. When you wake up in hospital with no idea how you got there, it can be downright terrifying.
Although it may seem like the opening scene of a horror/thriller movie, it actually happens to more people than you’d expect.
Here are 16 stories from people who shared their experience waking up in a hospital on Reddit (source at the end of the article).
Walking down the road one night (proper side of road in reflective gear) headed to the gas station for some Mountain Dew and smokes.
Suddenly, it’s two days later and I’m strapped to a hospital bed.
Apparently I was hit by a Mitsubishi 3000 GT. The kid driving it was coming from a rave, high as a kite, and thought I was an angel in my reflective gear.
He tried to catch me with his bumper.
Fun times.
Turns out we had a head-on collision with a drunk driver and I went through the back of the cab, picking up a host of broken body parts including four compressed vertebrae. A year and a number of surgeries later, I walked out of hospital an inch shorter and with enough metal in me to set off metal detectors as airports.
I was the lucky one, the other three guys in the truck never woke up afterwards. Twenty years and it still gets me.
