Hospital emergency rooms are built for just that: emergencies. Broken bones, heart attacks, motor vehicle accidents and similar incidents that require urgent assistance from doctors and nurses. These experts are trained to handle life-threatening cases under intense pressure. For them, and their patients, every minute counts.
But every now and again, someone comes racing in and causes a collective facepalm with their 'medical emergency.' From the guy who came in because he "wanted to watch the Super Bowl and his roommates did not," to the person who had severe stomach pains but actually just needed to let out a good, long fart, people have been sharing some of the dumbest cases ever to rock up in the ER.
Bored Panda has put together the most bizarre and ridiculous ones sourced from across the internet. Some are funny, others are painful, and many might leave you thinking that sometimes, the real emergency is a serious lapse in judgment and brains that failed to function.
