Poll: Ever Lost Conciousness?

[Spiner909]

Let's see.
The times I lost conciousness.
At least the ones I remember. ;-)

By accident:
After I tried a 360-spin with my BMX on a concrete ramp, I was away for almost 2 minutes.
Even though I wore a helmet...

By violence:
Well, I started with martial arts about 20 years ago and had to take some K.O.'s since.

By drugs/alcohol:
Way too often... ;-)

By a medical anesthesia:
I had a major accident at work 2 years ago.
An industrial fan(the ones with metal "blades") felt into my right forearm, running.
Cut through almost everything exept the bones.
4 hours later I was still totally pumped up with adrenaline, they had to give me the triple doseage so they could operate.
Felt into unconciousness several times after the operation due to pain and/or sedatives.

Dang. Maybe you should start wearing body armor.

My main cause for being forced into unconsciousness is through medical drugs when I've had to have surgery. Nice when you're going under, not so nice when you're coming out of it.

Aye. Pharmaceutical stuff makes me feel slightly ill at the mere thought of it. Generally, my rule of thumb is I don't put anything in my body if it makes me feel like shit 24 hours later. That's maybe short sighted and not based on chemistry or anything like that, but it works for me, so whatever.
But yeah, I've had far worse times with medicinal stuff than I have had with most illegal drugs.
Funny that, isn't it?

My Mother is currently on some nasty tablets for really bad arthritis which are doing pretty bad damage to her liver, and it's supposed to be fucking medicine? Please..

Yeah. Some medicine is pretty nasty. Especially when it comes down to side effects. Though if it means I don't have to be awake while I'm cut open and having my internal organs played with, then I'm ok with it.

lost consciousness when i was six, but we never figured out why though

 

[masher]

I -almost- Blacked-out in the shower one day because of sheer exhaustion and lack of sleep. XP

Once when I was in 6th grade, I passed out for a few seconds and got taken to the hospital. It was pretty weak.

And then once from drinking too much on new years last year. I had also done something...else. that night. It was a godawful experience and after it I learned to drink moderately and I don't do anything else.

 

[AvsJoe]

Once by accident (GT Snowracer + picnic table = out like a light + scar)
Once by anesthesia (lung stopped working, YAY)

 

[Caligulove]

Have had surgery twice, so both times had the anesthesia for it.

Then one night got blackout drunk with some friends, woke up and didnt remember going to sleep, or how I got on the floor- no pain though, besides the hangover

 

[omega_peaches]

Well, I do like Sleeping

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

NEVER! unless if Surgery sedation counts, i've passed out twice... one for a rhinoplasty and another for a maxilofacial surgery too...

actually i have 14 titanium parts that are fixed in my jaw.

oh i've just seen there was, so yes 2wice

 

[cheese_wizington]

The scary doctor drugged the shit out of me.

 

[mokes310]

Yup, grew up playing ice hockey and when I got to high school, I was a full 215lbs of All-American-F*ck-You who's primary role was as an enforcer. Needless to say, that translated into a great many trips to the MRI machine to assess what grade concussion I had that particular time. Let me tell you, there is nothing fun about a grade-4 concussion.

 

[LoremasterVix]

Yep, twice if you count medical anesthesia. Had an operation once that put me out, but actual knock out I've had once too from ice hockey.

No, it wasn't a body check or anything like that, it was just an eleven year old who could skate very quick and yet not stop half as fast. Gym class, had a race see who was fastest as a warm up. Well, round the rink once then slam into the boards near the bench when I tried to stop. Regaining consciousness and looking up I found I really didn't slow down at all, but hey I won so it lessens the embarrassment.

 

[Reep]

I've gotten an intense headspin once, went all numb, saw spots and everything but i leaned against the wall. Felt weird.

 

[elilupe]

Ive passed out twice, once when i didnt have a good breakfast and then exercised too much, and once when i was in health class and the teacher showed us x-rays of broken bones and other similar things.

 

[Rishtaka]

All of the above, but it doesn't include violence. All of anaesthesia, alcohol and accidents. Too careful to get into a stupid fight.
