Define “hospitalized”… Overnight stay? Out-patient? I got in a bike wreck, ended up with a concussion and was taken to an ER in an ambulance. I was released a few hours later after a CT scan. ---

I’ve had hospital visits. None were overnight, though. **Oh well, I’m feeling nice. Have a toothpick, AllWalker.** Psst, **Hockey Monkey** , why did I lose a toothpick in round 10? ---

\*\*I get to visit my [“puppy”](http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30019119&l=bd3c7&id=110000200) [Jinger](http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30048095&l=3e0c2&id=110000200) this weekend! Not counting ER visits, I had my tonsils taken out when I was nineteen, and my ACL reconstructed about 6 months ago.\*\* ---

Wait, so any ER visit counts? Ok, if that is true than I give up a toothpick. I have been to the ER twice, but I have never been admitted. I just needed a few stitches. ---

All the confusion seems to have worked itself out, but if people would feel better with a clarification… What I mean is, you have gone to a hospital, and some medical professional has done some medical things to you. That may be stitches, or just keeping you for observation, or whatever. It doesn’t count if a doctor checks you out and turns you away, as you haven’t really been hospitalised for anything. Carry on. ---

Well… after my backwards flip over an indoor balcony, with a 3 m dive onto a marble floor, the lovely paramedics - once they’d persuaded me that I wasn’t allowed to hit the bars or the dance floor again - did take me in for a overnight check-up. \*\* So AllWalker, here’s your toothpick\*\* ---

\*\*No dogs for me, \*\*but **I have been hospitalised**. Boiling oil and hands do _not_ mix. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ive-never-game-game-in-progress/473226.md?page=14) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ive-never-game-game-in-progress/473226.md?page=16)
