Would you be dead by now?

[YALE]

I'd have been dead at 6. I had scarlet fever.

[91cavgt]

Hernia surgery at 9 months
hospitalized for bronchitis at age 2
hospitalized for bronchitis at age 3
Hernia surgery (different side) at age 7
Hernia surgery at age 31


Left foot surgery (calcanel osteotomy) at age 34 (it effected my ability to walk, no walk no eat 200 years ago)


needless to say, I'd be dead.

I had my first ear infection at 3 weeks old... not sure if I could die from that or not.

[downshift_me]

I was an emergency c-section at birth with every doctor and nurse on the floor to help. So, yep.

If I survived that one; Then, the MRSA I was so kindly given 7 years ago would have done the trick.

Only other issues I have are kidney stones and while I am almost certain they can't kill you they sure feel like they want to!

Amah as an infant. If not for that spinal meningitis at 13. Hell even WITH modern medicine it still almost killed me. And even in the last few months, I had poison ivy behind my knee get so infected I had to go to the doctor and go on 2 weeks of antibiotics. At that point I had the same thought as you. And all I could think is how much it would suck to die from poison ivy!

[exlude]

Was about a month premature, may or may not have survived that without ICU. Serum sickness at 7, unsure on that one. Viral meningitis at 14. Bad car wreck at 17, would have bled out without modern medicine. Mine are a bunch of maybes.

Holy hell. Finally someone else. Wife had it and I'd never heard of anyone else

[Dawkins]

I would be here but would be blind in both eyes.
My wife would not have survived giving birth to our twins who would have been born far too early without an anti-pardem unit.

I would air condition my skull with a 12 gauge before it came to that. Fuck poison ivy.

You know, I've never been allergic to poison ivy, I've never had the experience everyone talks about. I assume it just itches?

Can you die from sinus infections and strep throat? I have never had an injury. I guess the occassional scrape would do me in with an infection.

I've got it once, about 3 or 4 years ago. It turned several large areas of my skin into this itchy crusty soup that would spread if I scratched it and touched another part. Ended up with it on both legs and arms and was miserable for about 3 weeks. Had to go to the Dr twice about it.

Scarlet fever is preceded by strep throat, so you're in the club now, too.
