Going to the doctor is expected to make you feel better, not worse. But sometimes, things happen surprisngly. From funny mistakes to strange surprises, medical visits can take a very unpredicted turn.

In this article, you’ll explore real stories from people who went through some truly sh0cking experiences during their checkups, treatments, and hospital stays. Some of these moments are hard to believe, and a few are even a little terrifying.

Story 1:

I went to a gynecologist for a routine checkup. Halfway in, he paused and asked me, “Is your husband a painter?” I blinked, confused.

But imagine my horror when he showed blue paint on his gloves. He checked my previous test results and mentioned that a substance had been found that matched the chemical makeup of paint.

I was sh0cked. My husband does work in house painting, but I still don’t understand how that ended up affecting my test results.

Story 2: 

I went to a podiatrist (foot doctor) about a nail issue. I was lying down on the exam bed as he was looking at my foot. He said, “You have a really flat foot!”

I looked up from the bed and asked what he said, as I didn’t hear him clearly. He proceeded to lift my foot by the ankle and says, “Your foot, it’s very flat!” And then proceeds to HIGH FIVE my foot to prove it. © babybiancadelrio / Reddit
