1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Yes. A few times for stitches and broken bones as a kid. Nothing as an adult.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Besides childbirth....strep throat (it was really, really bad) or broken toes.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex? Same sex for the girlie stuff, otherwise I have no preference. I'm glad I won't ever have to turn my head and cough!!
4. Do you take vitamins? Only one I take fairly regularly is calcium.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving? Hmmm. I'd pick sky diving because I've never tried it. I'd pick the dentist over a doctor, because, well, I'd rather have laughing gas than a pap smear!

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Once. was out in my BILs jet boat; I was up front when he did a whip turn which threw me head first into the opposite side. Had to go to the ER to get my head stitched back together.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Tore up my back water skiing. Truly couldn't move the next morning, it was about two weeks before I could walk without a cane.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
I suppose I prefer a doctor who likes sex, but it doesn't really matter.
4. Do you take vitamins?
A One-a-day multivitamin and an aspirin every morning.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Twice for acute tonsilitis. Had difficulty breathing and was in severe pain so I went to the ER to get good drugs.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
The tonsil thing was pretty bad! But I would also have to say when I dislocated my hip the first time... that sukked.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
I don't care. The best doctor I ever had was a male gynecologist. When you think about what he looks at every single day and how many of them he looks at... it's just another body part to them.
But he was awesome and the nicest doctor ever.
4. Do you take vitamins?
A multi-vitamin every day.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
I hate being sick and I hate paying doctor bills, but otherwise I don't mind going to them. I'd NEVER skydive.

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Never for myself, but I've accompanied alot. My brother used to get stitches all the time. Once because we were playing in the bathtub w/ rubber gloves on our feet and another time because I pulled him naked out of his crib-- he was an infant and I was only about 3-- and "it" got stuck and torn on the side of the crib-- I think that's my earliest memory!
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
An earache in college-- I was bawling it hurt so bad, but it's the only one I've ever had.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex? Opposite sex, and I don't really know why.
4. Do you take vitamins? Nope
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
Probably the doctor as long as there was nothing really WRONG!

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Many times, all as an adult and all from playing sports. Off the top of my head - shoulder separation, broken wrist, a couple of broken fingers, torn ligaments in ankle and concussion from doing a face plant against the outfield fence in a softball game and knocking myself out.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
The torn ligaments in my ankle. Not only did it hurt like hell, when I heard them snap I thought my ankle was broken because I didn't think anything but a bone breaking could make a sound like that.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
As long as they're competent, I don't care.
4. Do you take vitamins?
No
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
Doctor or dentist, it doesn't matter which. No way in hell am I jumping out of a plane. At least not voluntarily.

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Twice for myself....once when I got kicked in the face by a horse (ouch) and once when I had an adverse reaction to an antibiotic.
Too many times to count with my mother in law, who is chronically ill....
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
The horse kicking incident was pretty rotten......

Doesn't really matter to me....
4. Do you take vitamins?
No, but I probably should
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
Doctor......I don't like the dentist and I prefer to stay seated (and firmly buckled) in an airplane.

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Three times--once in 8th grade for a splinter that went deep underneath my fingernail (uck), once my senior year in college for a sprained ankle (fell down some stairs--totally sober, too), and when I was 24 I had appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Childbirth. Hands down. Can't even think of anything close.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex? Doesn't really matter to me. My OB/GYN has always been male (I've had a few) and I've been happy with all of them.
4. Do you take vitamins? Not in a few months, though I should.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving? Can I choose none of the above? If I HAD to pick, I'd say doctor, but only b/c I really like my docs, I guess. But really, none of those options are appealing to me.

I guess it does really fade with time......that didn't even occur to me....and it hurt really bad!!
Raising a teenaged girl is pretty painful, too!

Mine is all too recent--only 7 months ago. I still remember most of it too well. It's starting to fade, but slowly....
I figure women have to forget what that's like or else they would never have more than one kid.

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Yep. Stitches a few times due to tragic interactions between the basement steps and my cheekbone, an 8 iron and my forehead and a razor knife and my finger. Multiple ankle sprains and a shoulder injury.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Oddly enough, one of the ankle sprains. I think it was the 3rd time I sprained the same ankle in the same summer - my whole foot and ankle turned purple.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
As long as they have warm hands, it's all good.
4. Do you take vitamins?
Yep, One-a-Day Men's Health Formula - now I have the prostate of a 40-year old (unfortunately, now he wants it back).
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
I'll pick the warm-handed doctor and send my dentist sky diving.

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Yep, but fortunately not since I was little. Running through the house, tripped and smashed my face/mouth up good on the footboard of my bed.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Crohn's Disease, hand's down. I wouldn't wish that on Hitler. Every night, I prayed for death.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
Would depend on the kind of doctor. For just general practice or anything above the waist or below the knees, it wouldn't matter. But anything involving the groinal type area, I think I'd want a guy. My wife is the only woman who gets to play around down there.
4. Do you take vitamins?
I have a bottle in my desk, but very rarely actually remember to take one.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
Dentist. It doesn't take long and then you're good to go until the next time. If I'm going to a doctor, it means I'm sick. And if I'm going skydiving, well, that's just not going to happen.

My best friend has Crohn's. It's nasty stuff. ((BRP))

1. Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Many times. First time with a severe reaction to a wasp sting when I was 12. Another memorable time in 1999 when I tore my ACL running and playing with my dog and tried to stop. Knee turned backwards and heard that memorable popping sound... Felt like rubberbands jumping around in my leg. Oh yeah, also when I cracked the same kneecap six years earlier, tripping down steps to concrete carport. Most recent time last month when I was stung by a hornet. Decided to just come home and take Benadryl. Went to the ER on vacation a couple years ago when I slammed my thumb in car door on the way back from Key West.
2. What's the worst pain you've ever had?
Recovering from each of five abdominal surgeries in the 1990s. The C-section one was the least painful. Most painful was one in which I lost a baby.
3. If you could choose your doctor, do you prefer someone of the same or opposite sex?
I've had both. Doesn't matter.
4. Do you take vitamins?
I have a bottle in my kitchen, but rarely actually remember to take one. Try to remember to take Calcium and Glucosamine, too.
5. Would you prefer to go to the doctor, the dentist or go sky diving?
Doctor. Although I had nitrous oxide last week when I went in for a crown, and that made it more pleasant. First time since I was a kid. I just told them I had a headache, and they said here, try this...
