12 People Whose Medical Visits Can Be Turned Into a Horror Movie

A visit to the doctor is supposed to be simple. Routine. In and out. But for some people, these visits became unforgettable — for all the wrong reasons.

From unsettling encounters to shocking misdiagnoses, here are 12 real stories of routine health appointments that went completely off the rails.


1. The Metal in My Head

“The radiologist turned pale and asked, ‘Do you hear anything when you sleep?’ Then she showed me the scan — a thin, metallic fragment was lodged near my ear canal, pressing on a nerve. It explained the tinnitus and my sleep issues.

I still have no idea how it got there.”


2. Screams from an Empty Room

“While waiting for my check-up, I heard someone screaming from one of the exam rooms.

The receptionist calmly said, ‘That room’s been empty all day.’

Turns out, it was a sound test for wall insulation. But I heard it — loud and clear — and even after I left the building, I still heard it.”


3. Two Months of Misdiagnosis

“I lost hearing in my left ear. The doctor gave me antibiotics for an ‘infection’ — over and over again.

After two months, I saw a specialist. It wasn’t an infection — it was just wax. He cleared it in minutes, and my hearing came back.

I was furious.”


4. The Doctor Who Knew Me

“I went to a new clinic. The doctor greeted me by name before I introduced myself and listed my medical history — even things I hadn’t mentioned in years.

When I asked how he knew, he said, ‘I’ve seen you before. Just not here.’

I checked later — there was no record of my visit, and no one by that name worked there.”


5. Brushed Off for Being ‘Lazy’

“I told my doctor I was always exhausted, dizzy, and couldn’t breathe when walking.

She told me I was lazy and needed to drink water and work out more. I felt humiliated.

I switched doctors. My new one did blood work and found I was severely anemic — I needed blood transfusions. I finally felt human again.”


6. The Missing Hospital Roommate

“I chatted all night with the older man in the next hospital bed. He was kind, gave great advice.

The next morning, I asked the nurse where he went.

She looked confused and said, ‘You’ve been alone the whole time.’

Turns out, he’d been moved overnight — but no one told me. Still freaked me out.”


7. Treated Like I Wasn’t Even There

“After giving birth, my baby had to stay in the hospital longer. I was being discharged.

The doctor ignored me and spoke only to my husband. He told him I had postnatal depression, and handed him a prescription, saying, ‘Make her take these.’

I wasn’t even allowed to be upset.”


8. “Are You Pregnant?” — At Age 12

“I was 12. At a routine check-up, the doctor asked me — six times — if I could be pregnant.

My mom finally stepped in: ‘She’s not pregnant. Stop asking.’

It was bizarre and completely inappropriate.”


9. Misdiagnosed Again… and Again

“I had irregular menstrual cycles. My OB-GYN ignored me and kept prescribing random medications.

My primary doctor reluctantly gave me an ultrasound referral — but only after forcing me to take a pregnancy test she knew would be negative.

I never went back to either of them.”


10. The Scan That Changed Everything

“My scan looked fine — until the technician took a second look and went silent.

She called in a specialist, who found a growth they had almost missed.

That appointment saved my life.”


11. Gaslit Into Thinking I Was Fine

“I told the doctor I felt like something was wrong. Chest pressure. Dizziness.

He said it was ‘anxiety’ and told me to breathe deeply.

I pushed for tests. Turned out I had a heart condition.”


12. The Prescription I Didn’t Ask For

“I went for a sinus infection. The doctor spent the whole visit talking about how I ‘seemed down’ and needed to take control of my life.

Then he handed me a prescription for antidepressants. I never asked for them — and never went back.”
