Sharp debridement.
Subluxatated shoulder.

These would have been rubbish without being in the same sentence.

Sounds very painful but what is it? Presumably not done for fun?

Would be quite happy not to hear ‘This will need to be injected into the back of your eye’ again.

That being said, it would be a close run thing between that and ‘Conservative Win’ if I could only pick one. Lolz seems I’m not the only one.

Pretty certain I don’t want to read that sentence again any time soon! Made me feel decidedly queasy! 🥴

A word often used in explaining to learner rock climbers as why they should take their rings off.

OP’s don’t sound like appealing things to hear, luckily I don’t know what the words mean. I’ll add parents shagging to the list

‘This will need to be injected into the back of your eye’

Had to get a Steroid injection directly in to the eye once to stop me going blind after Uvetis had been mis-diagnosed as conjunctivitis and gone too long without the correct steroid drop treatment 🙁

I had hardly any vision in the affected eye but the other one was fine so full view of the needle \ syringe approaching. I've no issues with needles but do enjoy seeing people going a tad pale when I recount the story 🙂

Christ, is that still being played?

Annoying jingles is probably a thread in itself. The current "I just sold my car..." one from We Buy Any Car just wants me to put my foot through whatever media device is playing. It's like the marketing brief was to take the world's most annoying adverts and come up with something worse.

I'll bet the marketing brief was 'come up with something quick, we're not going to be using Schofield from next week'

The sound of bones grinding as a doctor tries to reset my broken nose, then after a while he asks in a puzzled tone, "Was your nose straight before?" It wasn't, I'd broken it before and foolishly set it myself so it had healed up a bit crooked and there was no way he could straighten the bent part.

Had to get a Steroid injection directly in to the eye

I had 12 Lucentis injections into my eyeball over a period of a couple of a couple of years. If I want to make people feel queasy I describe the process in great detail. Anyway, somewhat unexpectedly, my condition improved and the injections stopped. So the thing I really don't want to hear again is "we'll just do another Lucentis injection".

Welcome to the club. No injection yet...but iritis is a pest.

One thing. I've found over the years Ibruprofen helps if you get that very early feeling.

Or Get Your Ass to Mars (eye hospital).ASAP. and get that Pred Forte.

This will need to be injected into the back of your eye’

Ah yes, "we'll need to use tweezers to get these bits out, some are quite deep. We'll give you a local first but you'll be able to see and the tweezers are very sharp so please keep very still and don't blink"

Not a fun afternoon at the hospital.

I have to read medical reports following road traffic accidents, my worst was a guy on his custom motorcycle who "Lost both testicles as his legs went either side of the fuel tank hitting the sharp fuel cap as he hit the taxi as it pulled out on him.."

The "pop" of a carbon frame exploding on hitting the bonnet of a Ford Galaxy. Whilst being upside down at 40mph.

Edit. Got steel frames now just to make sure.

22 years ago when my wife was about 12 hours into labour.
Midwife: "Can you do me a favour, can you just reach over and press that red button on the bed panel?"
Me: Yep, done. Is everything ok?
Midwife: Hmmm, not really...

Ended ok (22yo daughter has just (Saturday evening) submitted her last piece of work for her Masters) but was damned scary when about 8 people crashed into the room to whisk her into theatre.

"We can't currently treat this and it is likely that it will cause you to die by 50 from a stroke". Really not a good thing for a 25 year old to hear from the doctor treating them for AF.

I am now 49.

Luckily "it" was treated with RF ablation, but I still have nervousness about the prediction.

So so so so many things but for now I'll go with:
Naff DJ voices

And something about voices played loud with extra added ****ing much bass talking about the weather or some anodyne* to the max 1100000000% so-called amusing topic.
*equally it could be so-called controversial topic.
** maybe I mean mundane to the max.
