‘Dad, what does 400V mean?’
31 of the Wildest Times People Woke Up in the Hospital Without Knowing Why

Waking up in a hospital bed and trying to remember how you got there is like an evil version of Dude, Where’s My Car? While there will definitely be one thing you remember happening, it can be an obscure piece of the puzzle. Unless you’re the guy who was “trying to get electrocuted,” and remembers asking his dad, “What does 400V mean?” and receiving a partial answer before passing out. It’s kinda obvious what happened there. 

But for everyone else, there was the bewildering sensation of trying to piece it all together after finally coming to. Whether it was childhood rambunctiousness, a flying squirrel or more than one instance of a spooked horse, these are their stories — or at least what they remember of them.

 8y ago I was watching Voyager on TV, next thing I was in a hospital bed. Turns out I'd gotten up too fast, lack of blood flow to the head and passed out, hitting my head on the floor hard (I'm 6'6) and fractured my skull. Confusing. 6.6K ...
pumpkinbread987 8y ago Edited 8y ago I was riding my young horse, in training to jump. We rode up to our first 3ft jump. Не stopped, so I started preparing to turn him around and try again. Не then reared up and hurled himself over the jump. I was completely unprepared for him to jump. I fell off at the арех of the jump. That's all I remember from that day. Apparently I took his saddle off, hosed him down, and drove myself home. Next thing I remember I was being wheeled in for a CAT scan. I broke my
kefkaeatsbabies 8y ago Cut a guy off while bartending in college. Не wasn't too happy, grabbed a bottle, and chucked it at the back of my head as I turned around. Woke up in a hospital bed with my best regular and his wife ensuring me I'd be ok and the guy wouldn't 'be a problem.'

very_cool_stuff 8y ago Edited 8y ago My brother and I were outside playing with squirt guns (this was 2001 so I would have been 11). Next thing I know it's Easter Sunday, I was in a hospital bed with a massive headache and blurred vision and the last thing I remembered was 4 days ago. Apparently I fell backwards and smacked my dome on the curb hard enough to fracture my skull and bruise my brain. Got 2 weeks off of school which was cool back then and I've had to wear glasses ever since. Apparently, according to my mom,
 8y ago Was at the pool, next thing I know I wake up in a hospital bed, feeling very cold and my throat hurts. Turns out I had actually drowned, but the lifeguard had pulled me out and reanimated me for about 45 min. Then I was flown to the hospital by helicopter, where I lay in a coma for 2 days, during which they kept my body temperature low (to prevent cerebral damage caused by lack of oxygen). I could go home a week after the accident. TL;DR: drowned, got revived, don't remember anything. 959 ...
SneakIDPls 8y ago Edited 8y ago I was running a half marathon with a friend and we had just passed the 10 mile mark and I felt like I was getting into a groove after I struggled a bit the previous few miles. Woke up the next day in the ICU with my family all around me. Heat stroke + Rhabdomiliosis. I was admitted with a temp of 108.6 and they were telling my family to prepare for the worst. Had to stay in the hospital for a few days and then take it easy for a few months but
Ask-For-Free-Advice 8y ago 18 year old me got super wasted on Smirnoff Watermelon vodka at some little club in Clearwater, FL. Apparently I fell off of a tall barstool and busted my head. When I woke up, I wasn't even sure what state I was in. Accidentally called my friend's mom in North Dakota trying to get a ride to somewhere other than the hospital. A decade later and I still can't drink anything with that watermelon flavor. 2.7K ...
pedazzle 8y ago Was at school, about 8 years old. It was sports carnival day, I don't know if they have that everywhere its where the whole school spends the day competing in various sports.

comm02 2y ago As a kid I used to jump down the stairs to the basement. I had a major growth spurt at sixteen and the last time I jumped down the stairs I hit my head on the basement ceiling. My mom said she heard a huge bang and found me at the bottom of the stairs. I woke up in the ER, no recollection of how I got there.

DrNecessiter 2y ago I was feeling a bit ill one Saturday with a really sore throat so I went to bed. That night I got thirsty and drank some water that my girlfriend gave me, then spit some phlegm into a glass. The next morning it turns out was Friday. I'd had glandular fever and the recollections I'd had of drinking water and spitting into a glass was from a whole week of delirium with my girlfriend beside herself with worry tending to me. The glass brim full of fever spit by the bed was beyond gross. 102 ...

mackattacks83 2y ago I was sick with pneumonia but thought I would get better at home. Fire alarms went off in my apartment building in the middle of the night. I went into sudden cardiac arrest while walking outside. The last thing I remember is walking outside. I awoke 9 days later in the ICU with a tube down my throat. I had a severe case of pneumonia that sent me into septic shock. So grateful for the two neighbors who preformed CPR on me that night until the ambulance showed up. 5 ...

Blue_Moon_Rabbit 8y ago I fell of my longboard almost exactly a year ago and landed on my head. No, I was an idiot and wasn't wearing a helmet. To this day I don't remember the accident, but spending ten days as the youngest person in the stroke ward because of brain bleeding is tedious as fuck. All things considered, I'm extremely lucky I didn't snap my neck the way I apparently landed, or become a vegetable, or die. My new helmet might look stupid as fuck, but it beats cracking my head open again. 286 ...

erigunn 8y ago I was shot in the stomach at about two feets range by a guy who had the gun in his backpack. Не was in the process of robbing a story when I walked in, and I didn't see it happening as he had the gun hidden, and a lot of other people in the store didn't know either. I asked him if he was in line, because he was kind of to the side, and he turned and fired. I don't remember anything from after entering the store. The rest I've had pieced together. Не shot me

Kbiski 8y ago I was going out with some friends on my 21st birthday. We were pre-gaming & they fed me a lot of shots. We hop in a cab & set to go out to the clubs. Next thing I know, I wake in a hospital bed. The moment I opened my eyes I knew where I was & how I probably got there. Turns out, I jumped out of the cab prematurely & hit my head. . .
