I think it'll be a car wreck or cancer

either of which would happen before the age of 50

Crucifixion

10/22/2008 8:54:46 PM

Car accident caused by a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic incident that ends with a seizure (and a car accident, dur).

Or, perhaps most nicely, in my sleep of old age.

10/22/2008 8:55:03 PM

I was gonna say car accident, but you beat me to it



so I'll say accidental decapitation

[Edited on October 22, 2008 at 8:55 PM. Reason : damn, I can't spell]

10/22/2008 8:55:08 PM

accidental decapitalization

10/22/2008 8:57:06 PM

some idiot will run over me while i'm at the scene of an accident

10/22/2008 8:57:15 PM

it's ok to repeat answers

but 3/4 of my immediate family and both of my grandfathers have had cancer or died of cancer, so that'll more than like be my demise

10/22/2008 8:58:14 PM

some sort of heart failure

10/22/2008 8:58:42 PM

Don't leave me Timmy

10/22/2008 8:59:29 PM

There will be some kind of emergency that will require intubation and my neck will be broken. If the actual broken neck does not kill me, I will eventually die of pneumonia after spending some time as a quadriplegic.

*has spent a great deal of time thinking about it*

10/22/2008 8:59:29 PM

suicide

if someone breaks your neck while intubating you, they need to be shot

10/22/2008 9:00:58 PM

I don't plan on dying. Perhaps physically, but I haven't decided yet

10/22/2008 9:01:19 PM

i plan on living for ever

so far so good

10/22/2008 9:01:49 PM

dropping the lemon

10/22/2008 9:02:02 PM

I have a congenital spinal fusion.
I have spent a majority of my life terrified that my neck will accidentally be broken while being intubated.

10/22/2008 9:02:18 PM

My biggest fear is driving off of a bridge and getting stuck in my car and suffocating/drowning.

Fuck a botched intubation, I just live

in that case, i'd probably go straight for a crich

10/22/2008 9:04:48 PM

botched intubation is not fun. trust me on this one folks.

10/22/2008 9:05:18 PM

that's why you hope you get someone that's awesome at tough intubations

*cough* me *cough*

10/22/2008 9:06:02 PM

I made anesthesia consult with me like umpty dozen times while I was pregnant because I wanted to make sure that they knew me and knew what to do if I had to deliver under general.

10/22/2008 9:08:32 PM

well i thought i could trust the anesthesiologist and the ent doc. guessiwas wrong

10/22/2008 9:08:55 PM

I'm hoping to be gunned down in a tragic accident.

10/22/2008 9:09:22 PM

hah, yeah... that's a bit strange, anesthesiologist and CRNA's usually rock at tubing...

"trust the anesthesiologist"

NEVER.
Even after all of the consulting that was done and decisions being jointly made, things went completely differently than discussed when it came right down to it.
And I had an awful experience.

10/22/2008 9:10:48 PM

unfortunately that's the nature of medicine

i'm sure the anesthesiologist and CRNAs did what they thought was right. if anything they're even MORE cautious than other practitioners due to the cost of liability insurance for them

if not, they won't be in practice for very long

(i'm not trying to hate on you or anything, you know i <3 you)

10/22/2008 9:12:08 PM

traub, I will probably hate myself for asking, but what happened?

10/22/2008 9:13:37 PM

Cancer or liver failure

10/22/2008 9:15:08 PM

a couple of years ago i had deviated nasal septum surgery. when i came out of anesthesia they had pulled the tube out wrong and my lungs were completely full of blood. i thought i was going to die. it was not a fun experience i must say.

10/22/2008 9:16:21 PM

how did they pull it out wrong? forget to deflate it?

10/22/2008 9:17:30 PM

hell if i know. i had just woke up and could not breathe. they gave me some serious diuretic, but if that hadn't worked they would have to have gone in to extract the fluid

They didn't make a mistake. They just did not follow the plan.

We had decided on a combination method for my C-section because of my short stature and history. The anesthesiologist on duty barreled in and did a straight spinal instead. It did not go well for me. My chest muscles were paralyzed, I had a panic attack in the middle of my delivery, and then I had a small tear that leaked spinal fluid and had me very very ill until I could get into the pain clinic.

traub's got street cred son

10/22/2008 9:20:19 PM

heart attack

10/22/2008 9:20:42 PM

that's strange

some idiot probably forgot to deflate the balloon and just yanked it out and tore something

there aren't too many things that cause your lungs to fill up with blood, especially if you're not old


^^^well, in that case... yeah, he fucked up.

10/22/2008 9:20:59 PM

^^^ YOU KNOW THIS SON

10/22/2008 9:22:18 PM

i believe ill die when i decide to let something kill me, otherwise im not goin anywhere


alternate scenario would be assassination,

1. because there are two asses in the word and you cant beat that

2. thats the most baller way to go out

10/22/2008 9:24:37 PM

cancer of the elbow due to the absurd amount of times that I lean my elbow on the Ethidium Bromide work area.

10/22/2008 9:25:54 PM

In a barrage of gun fire

10/22/2008 9:38:29 PM

This thread is morbid...as hell actually.

10/22/2008 9:50:27 PM

Suffocated under a hugely obese person or zombies

10/22/2008 9:50:35 PM

suffocation would fucking suck

10/22/2008 10:01:55 PM

I'll die during my viking funeral. My family is very impatient at times.

10/22/2008 10:15:40 PM

sounds like CeilingCat likes the fat sex

10/22/2008 10:25:30 PM

If my liver doesn't prematurely konk out because of a mistake in '07, I'm guessing I'll die of old age. There is no history of any kind of heart disease or cancer in our family.

10/22/2008 10:46:53 PM

I'll lead an uprising in a 3rd world country and be assassinated when the powers that be feel threatened.

10/22/2008 10:54:19 PM

in my sleep by unknown causes
