30 Of The Most Horrifying "Oh Fudge" Moments That Surgeons And Doctors Have Experienced That Will Leave You Shocked
When it pertains to everyday experiences, things sometimes do not go as planned, and miracles do not often occur at the very last minute. There aren't as many good outcomes in real life as you see in the movies, and strange things might happen even before you see them.
In high-pressure scenarios such as this one, a surgeon's true level of expertise and mental fortitude can be tested and evaluated. In addition to that, their capability to maintain their composure under extreme circumstances is very remarkable.
In a now-viral r/AskReddit thread, Reddit's surgeons and doctors opened up on their worst "oh, dear God, no!" and "oh fudge!" experiences. There was no holding back when it came to admitting when they or their coworkers had made mistakes and going into great detail about their actions after realizing they were in the middle of an enormous problem.
Take a look at the fascinating stories of surgeons and doctors who have come right out of the operating room. This compilation might either scare you, but don't let it stop you from seeking medical care.
