It's not as glamorous as it sounds.

In my case, my shoulder was dislocated during football practice. My coaches tried to pop it back in but weren't able to do it. Two coaches were walking me back to the field house. I started getting clammy, my hearing got all fuzzy (like if you're listening into a seashell or something) and I started seeing stars and having tunnel vision. I remember one of the coaches saying, "Maybe we should carry him the rest of the way", and the next thing I know I came to and was standing at the doorway of the field house.

Glamorous no, but it is pretty cool. I have no aversion to blood, and have had my share of major injuries and never passed out before. But about a year ago I had a blood test and for some reason or another I passed out. I don't remember much, but I woke back up on the table where they lifted from the floor and I felt like I'd slept for days. I felt like I could take on the world afterwards.. then reality came creeping in and I'm like WTF was that all about??

It was like my body re-booted...sweet

Is that also the time when you woke up your anus really hurt? Something about passing out causes really painful anus?

A friend of mine laid his motorcycle over a few weeks ago. Smashed his foot some, but was okay enough to walk around the state fair later that same day. His foot started hurting a LOT though so he went to an emergency care center - turns out he broke a toe. While they were checking it out he passed out for a couple minutes - blood pressure simply dropped to the floor. It's a normal reaction of the body/brain to shock.

Oh, and the closest I ever came to passing out was from watching TV. I was flipping channels and ended up on one of those explicit, uncensored surgery shows on Discovery Channel showing a breast reduction procedure. It only took a few seconds of seeing that to get light headed with dim sight and muted hearing. Believe you me, I changed the channel quickly!

I'd be in big trouble if I ever had to hunt meat for food.

Heh, BBC had an autopsy on once. The brain fluid spatter from the saw was enough for me.

I guess it just freaked me out more than anything because I feel okay today (not 100%, but better than yesterday). It's strange how the body reacts to different kinds of pain, when i first crashed and they were scubbing the dirt out of my wounds after they had started to scab up, it hurt twice as bad as the pins coming out and I was cracking jokes to doctor. The pins come out I'm out like a little girl.

And for those who have never fainted, it's not really that fun. You start to feel dizzy and sick to your stomach, then the tunnel vision starts, everything gets a little blurry and the next thing you know you r waking up not knowing where the hell you are (and with a sore ass). Getting knocked out on the other hand is where the real fun is at.

[QUOTE=s2000raj,Oct 22 2008, 01:28 PM] by the way, if I didn't make it clear, Ckit is right.
