As someone who’s had a kidney stone it’s comforting to know that I wasn’t being a big baby after people saying it was worse than when they got shot.
Oh man I had a kidney stone as well it was serious levels of pain, but there was one thing that beat it. I had something wrong with my galbladder (at least thats the theory they couldn't actually find it and I eventually had an unrelated liver transplant) but that pain was... wow I couldn't move I just stood in the same spot and vomited I had to be put in a wheel chair I couldn't think it was unreal.
I too had a kidney stone. I was pissing straight up blood for about 2 minutes for 3 days. And then the second the stone came out, it was all normal again. Never in my life did I ever cry so hard or so much.
I had several in both of my kidneys. The pain was a 9 out of 10 for me. I never want to go through that again.
@@drwhackadoodle360its eirher gall stones or kidney stones that many women have said is worse than giving birth- likw dang
Kidney stones are widely acknowledged to be one of the most painful experiences a person can have. 🤕
TIP: Watch this right before you go shooting, or even better if you go shooting for the first time.
Outcome: You will end up handling a gun INTENSE care.
If someone walks down the range, it is just common sense to clear your gun and stuff
There’s a weird comfort that most people don’t feel insaine pain and that the stupid movie trope of people noticing they have been shot is actually real
Thank you for making it clear that after you've been shot you don't go fight or rescue like a hero in the movies.
Thankfully, I have never been shot. I do remember a classmate of mine was shot in the arm when we were in elementary school. He was out of school for months. When he came back, we could see the wound. It was like a sunken hole in the skin. It was very alarming to a 4th grader. Before, he had been kind of a jerk. After, he was much quieter and nicer. I never found out how he got shot. He didn't want to talk about it. Whatever happened to him really changed him. 😢
Everyone writing these stories are the people where the bullet missed everything vital. For the other people we will never receive a description.
Reminds me of that world war two analogy of the planes only coming back with holes in certain places, because the others never returned.
People do survive being shot in the most vital of areas, like the heart and even the brain occasionally. It's all about response time. Gabby Giffords and Malala Yousafzai are a couple famous examples. Just no one in that particular Reddit thread 😅
@@titaniumvulpes I’m confused why you even bothered to say that. Yes, obviously some people do survive being hit in a vital organ, but most do not. How dumb to you think I am? Don’t be pedantic.
All I was saying is we are never going to get a story of what it felt like from those people who were shot and passed away tragically.
There were several people in this video who were hit in vital areas and survived. The intestines and other organs in the abdomen are considered vital areas as well as the arteriesin the chest, neck and extremities. There is still a chance of death from blood loss, and for the organs to be irreparable.
I'm sorry, but two of these stories had spinal damage. Spines are pretty damn vital.
@@s.h.6858 OH MY GOD IS THIS AN APRIL FOOLS OR WHAT
Not me, but my dad.
This happened between roughly 10 pm on Feb. 4th and sometime after midnight on Feb. 5th at a bar in Montana
My parents were out celebrating my mom's birthday, and they had just finished watching Prince's performance at the Super Bowl. After the halftime show, a man got into a heated argument with his then-wife (Now ex-wife). After he left (or was kicked out, I don't remember), he took off back to their place in the next town over. The wife, who rode with him to the bar, asked my parents to give her a ride home. At this point, it was getting close to midnight, so my parents decided it was best to take her back and then head home themselves. Unbeknownst to everyone at the time, the man had devised a plan to murder his wife with a .22 caliber pistol as soon as she walked in the door. But, when my parents arrived at their house, I guess he must have gotten too engulfed in his bloodlust because he just stepped outside, took aim at the driver's side door, and fired the gun. My dad, who had his back turned in the driver's seat, heard the gunshot, listened to his window shatter, and felt a sharp, burning pain in his back. My mom, who was in the passenger seat, immediately called 911 while my dad drove himself to the nearby hospital. The bullet (which is still inside him to this day by the way) is just millimeters away from his heart.
As for me, I was five years old at the time and staying with my Nanna and Pappy. One of my earliest memories that I can vaguely remember was visiting my dad in the hospital days after the shooting occurred.
Damn im sorry that happened
But i think the idea if your dad driving himself to the hospital with a bullet in his gut is probably one of the most badass things i have ever heard
Wait, what do you mean the bullet is still there?! I'm not a doctor, but don't they have to take it out, doesn't it risk metal poisoning? Is it just too dangerous to remove the bullet? I'm really glad he made it and hope he's doing okay, but the idea that the bullet is still there is really concerning to me!
@@archdiangelo7930 Sometimes a bullet (especially a small one like a .22) will end up in a place where going in to remove it would probably cause more damage than just leaving it in place would.
Authors: write that down, write that down!
I was going thru a psychotic break and shot myself in my left lower leg in my calf in the muscle with my dad's revolver one morning. It was very hot, like extremely hot and I was so caught off guard by how loud the gun was as it went off that I didn't feel much pain initially. The smell of what I assume was burning flesh was absolutely horrible. There wasnt too much blood but I guess the right amount for that area. I made sure there weren't any major arteries in that area before I shot myself. And there was an exit wound so I didn't go to the hospital or anything. I just stopped the bleeding, wrapped it up, normal aftercare stuff. It hurt a lot to walk on but I didn't want anyone knowing what I did so I just forced myself to try to walk normally and not react to the pain I was feeling. I didn't realize that constantly applying hydrogen peroxide slows the healing process so for 2 weeks my leg wound smelled like rotting/ or infected flesh and was disgusting but it's over now. Just a tiny bit of nerve damage /numbness from the wound down to my the bottom of my heel. But 3 years later the feeling has mostly came back but I still have a real ugly scar tho
woa, and you never even consulted a doctor about it ?! There is a thing where they have to respect patient's anonymacy
Friends don't shoot friends, nuff said.
Jerks do tho
I got shot through the knee about 4 years ago while sitting in my car, not sure what his goal was, but I refused commands and he just backed up and fired into the car.
Really just felt like a really, really painful bruise.
By a cop?
Um..... I honestly didn't feel anything cause i was so mad at my brother for holding a gun. Then some guy he had an issue with had shot me in the back. I was screaming at my brother for being an idiot and then everyone behind me started screaming you shoot the wrong person! And i looked down and i was bleeding. Then my bf was on the guy who shot me and i just called 911 myself and kicked my bf and told him to quit being a baby.... Last thing i remember before i woke up in the hospital.
Dang
I feel bad for the 14 year old😢
seriously, imagine mag-dumping into a 14 year old thats 10ft away from you
I don't
@RamRamNuts omg wow im so edgy 🤓👆
@@Bootywarrior10 THEY GOT SHOT ALMOST AS MUCH AS 50 CENT!!! THEY STILL SURVIVED THOUGH IT WAS PAINFUL!!! HOW CAN YOU NOT FEEL BAD FOR THEM???
@@illusionarieee crazy
Been shot in both legs at the same time. Left femur basically exploded, and right tibia bounced it up and out of my knee cap. Felt like a Charlie horse more than anything. My elbows hitting the floor mid run hurt the most. And the scariest part wasn’t realizing I was shot. It was my left thigh folding in half under my bodies weight when I kept trying to run. And then on the floor after dragging myself up against a car tire, I rolled over and sat up and tried to pull my legs together only to see my leg bend like a noodle when I went to lift it to. The bumps in the ambulance I would say def hurt the most because by then the adrenaline was kinda gone. And the months long recover was def not fun either
Story 7: I hope to GOD neither of those men got into the military.
As someone who planned to go into the military but then got my ass kicked by celiac disease.
I can confirm that they probably never even made it into the training program.
I have a math contest tomorrow why am I here
lol i have a science comp
Took a bullet to the thigh/ass when I was 18, never even realized I'd been shot until years later when the bullet showed up on an x-ray. In the moment I felt pain but I was running and fighting and in that kind of situation pain is pain, you know? There was blood, I wasn't actively bleeding when I was taking my pants off so I just sorta....didn't think anything of it. I could barely walk for a few days, but it healed up fine on its own. Still have the bullet in my leg.
Wait, do you know when or how you where shot? How did you not notice? I get maby not realizing for at most an hour but YEARS??? (To be fair I've never been shot so yeah...)
That’s…..cap……
@@Angealls There was a lot going on. I'd already had my ass kicked a bit, and for all I knew it was just a bruise from falling on the ground. When shit's going south, you really don't have time to take stock of the situation, you just react.
@@adamb89 alright thanks for clearing that up!
I've had kidney stones before and getting shot is definitely worse. Not sure how people are saying what they're saying lol. And yes, the kidney stones were big. I've also had an ovarian cyst explode. That pretty much felt like a gunshot.
still waiting for the "what is your most wholesome story?"
What I learned from this ia, you can have 'friends' or guns, but not both
thanks for actually reading the stories 🙏 you dont know how much it drives me nuts when i see an interesting reddit video only to find out its all read by TTS 🙄
Does getting grazed by holopoint shrapinal count? There is a reason Shooting ranges don't let people just bring unchecked ammo, holo and incendiary rounds are banned because most bullet backs that catch the bullets are stacks of rubber mats. Well the dumbass apparently was this teenager who took his dad's gun to show off... it's loaded with holopoints. It was a small 9mm parabelum (i think? I can't remember because of the outcome of the damage). So he's in the booth next to me, arm out over the line, guy has no experience.... thank god I wore safety goggles. Because F&%&! That gun just EXPLODED!!! The barrel was not made for hollow point rounds. Thank god I wore protective goggles, because I suddenly had sharpinal nail both eyes as I staggered to the floor... Four seconds later I see red. Literally. Red. Took off my goggles and the poor guy is screaming in silence.... no wait, I'm wearing earmuffs. He's screaming like his ball's retreated to the attic. His whole right hand. Is. F&%$ed. His index and thumb were barely dangling on his hand and the kids with him ran. Fast. Ambulance came, I go home. Took my dad's whiskey, well, more like He gave it to me after seeing me shake like a leaf and covered in blood, chugged, puked, i tell the story, puke more, bed, drink some hangover stuff. Go back to range. Turns out the kid broke into the gunsafe on camera. And he ended up in juvee, he had issues. Now with a fucked domanent hand.
Please understand the weapon before you use it!
2:10 bro is the wisest human on Earth
I've been shot at but not shot. I was driving through a rough part of town when a bullet broke through my passenger window and went through my windshield. Never driven so fast in my life.
Getting shot feels like having a bullet hit you, so painful!
My ex boyfriend was shot in front of me- gun went off while he was showing it to me and shot him. He survived but had 6 surgeries within a little over a year and had to live with a colostomy bag for over a year so his insides could heal. Which for those who don't know what that is, it's basically a bag connected to your stomach where you go #2 in- that's the easiest way to explain it.
We were both in our early 20's and I know that messed with his head and confidence for awhile. Thankfully it wasn't permanent and he had his last surgery to repair it. But that's not always the case 😢
The one about the eye made me wish I wasn't reading it midway through, just jiggles my stomach in the wrong way.
I find it WILD that that Doctor/nurse has seen 1000-3000 gunshot wounds - I live in the largest city in a small country without a gun culture and my friend is an emergency department doctor. She's seen gunshot wounds for the first time this year - two patients (she only treated one) from the same incident. It was in the news.
I’ve never been shot, but I have actually had a weird breathing thing like some of these people.when I was nine, it felt like my lungs had a heart attack.pain every breath. In right lungs and heart. Then next breath it would left, and so on.I went to the er,and they took an X-ray, and my chest cavity was full of air.they hooked me up to some suction cups on my chest.at midnight the pain stopped.now whenever I breath to hard or sudden I get a sharp pain in my lung. On a lighter note, when it didn’t hurt anymore, I asked the staff if I could go to the bathroom so just a nine year old kid saying,”miss? Where’s the bathroom?” We all laughed and I had a ok night.
Depending on where you are shot plays a major factor on the pain, I can say with certainty however 2nd degree burns are miles above the pain of a shoulder/upper arm shots. The recovery and reoccurring aches are the worst parts of shooting wounds for most areas of the body. I would take a bullet anywhere but the stomach and head over a severe burn and the treatment that follows every day of the week however.
Being in the hospital after surgery is so trippy. I had surgery when I was like 12 or 13, wasn’t shot I had severe scoliosis and needed spinal reconstruction. The only reason I know I was the for about 5 days was because my mom told me. My week in the hospital was a blur from all the drugs 💀
I didnt get shot but i have bulits zip past me on a hike due to stupid people not paying attention to where they were shooting target practicing. Country life man. (Could well be the second, third? guys) situation
The 38 story. John/johna/ doe Prolly had luck the intruder (probably) had a flinching problem when pulling the trigger .
causing them to anticipate recoil and dipping the barrel before pulling the trigger.
Bro opened up the story with slug from a shot gun point blank and I’m thinking bro how you alive
Story 11 is attempted murder
Is it strange that I'm coming here to find advice for how to write scenes where this happens for stories. Apparently some of the tropes are actually pretty accurate, which is... unusual.
So it either hurts like an iron poker or you feel nothing for the first few moments because your brain uses adrenaline to hide the pain so you can get out of the conflict?
After listening to this makes me appreciate how lucky 50 cent was after getting 9 times survived but also makes me appreciate how short life is Tupac was shot 4 times but dies
It’s like getting kisses from your mum while laying on a mattress made of marshmellow fluff.
I know a guy whos dad shot his brother in the foot with a shotgun as a kid, his grandfather i believe got shot by his brother, hopefully he never goes hunting with his brother
Story 16. Guys did nobody listen to Burt Gummer? All guns are loaded! Even the ones you know are not!
I got shot in my abdomen by a 22. It didn’t really hurt just the pain after my whole intestine was sticking out true facts there’s a whole news clip on it
“Not good”
Gunshot wounds are rwally funny to talk about, becauae they are equally fatal and not at the same time. Someone can get shot once and die, whereas someone else can be shot 20 times all around their body and still be alive. Really just depends if anything vital is hit, like an artery or a major organ. It is messed up though to think that say, in a war setting, most people who die wont get that quick death. More than likely itll be either blood loss or infection, hence why so many people who get to a hospital it a timely fashion tend to live.
5:28 - holy shit OP... also, how much did that all cost...
15:45
I wish there was more explanation about consequences. Did it somehow not hit the brain???
People have survived being shot in the brain
Not me, but my mother’s idiotic boyfriend who she broke up with.
The guy shot himself in the hand, with a pistol, because he was a bit drunk. This happened at night, my room door was open, and the shot occurred by my mother’s bed, thankfully only hitting the drunken idiot’s hand, and I think the floor afterwards. I didn’t hear the shot, even though my room door was wide open, and my mother’s bed is a wall away from my bed. I woke up only because I had to use the bathroom. When I woke up, my door was closed, so I opened it, and there was a police officer standing in front of my door. I think I asked what happened, but was denied an answer. I said I had to use the bathroom, and went to the bathroom, then went back to my room, and fell back asleep. I knew I was a heavy sleeper, but I didn’t know I could sleep through the sound of a fracking gun going off extremely close to my own room.
Today i was washing my motorcycle at a gas station so there was a shooting near me the bullet ricochet and hit my hip it felt like a big punch in the hyp and the blood was spilling all over the floor but i did get help and im doing fine but it kinda suck
.38 is a big mf
EDIT: (lots of energy for a handgun round, but not compared to a rifle caliber)
how does it feel like to get shot? I dunno, like OW, I FUCKING GOT SHOT!!
A lot of strong people
Dude still didn’t prove he was tough
So i guess if i kms with a shotgun or a gun,i wont feel it. Thanks

Notice how in so many of these stories, even if the good guy had a gun, it didn't stop or accomplish anything.
this would be known as ''survivorship bias"
@@tree2800 How? How would the 'good guy' having a gun and it not changing anything be an example of this?
@@evem6154 there's no evidence in these stories to assume right or wrong, or even to mention other potential people who may very well have immediately resolved the shooting incident. This lack of info makes the claim that the good guy with gun, didn't accomplish anything, an inaccuracy at best. We can even safely assume that since several seriously injured people survived, they received some care from a 'good person'. Therefore, the people who didn't survive this type of encounter were less likely to have a good person nearby. They died.
The good person may have accomplished something.
@tree2800 right! Classic anti gun people they love to just make statements without sufficient information. Then they wonder why their "points" are always disregarded. Many of these stories the good guy with a gun could have been the only reason the poster didn't take ten rounds and is still here today. But being that I'm not one of the anti gun people I'm not going make stuff up and just say that's exactly what happened because once again not enough info.
DAMN HOW THICK WERE THOSE LEVIS???
doesn't feel good
It makes me sad to hear that people buy guns for self defence after being involved in a shooting, having your own gun is not likely to help you survive the same kind of attack and just creates more risk factors. It’s dangerous to you if you don’t know exactly how to use it, take care of it and it’s dangerous to anyone who can find it and recklessly use it. In my country you need a license to buy and own a gun, my dad has one locked in a safe with some ammo in our back yard because he likes going to gun ranges sometimes. I have never actually seen the gun and there has never been any need for us to have it for self defence, it is just for his hobby and he keeps it very secure.
America is a different world than where you live- im assuming Europe? While I don't advocate for people to go out and just buy a gun, they absolutely are a great source of self defense. There's a reason for the phrase 'don't bring a knife to a gun fight'- if someone came in my house with a gun, I'd rather have a gun than a knife to defend myself. I say that having never owned a gun,and not planning on getting one. I believe with strict limitations on type of gun, regular required training classes, and mental health screenings, guns can be a useful tool. The issue is not guns, it's with the wrong people having them.
"having your own gun is not likely to help you survive the same kind if attack" this statement is 100% false. It is literally statistically proven that guns save lives rather than create a dangerous environment.
If you got shot or shot at (or even home invaded with a knife) before that means violant crime is an actual threat to you and your loved ones. Advising people not to get a gun and train with it til you can protect you and your loved ones life is AFTER BEING IN THAT SITUATION is absolutely insane.
You can only count on being kept safe by your governmant (even in europe) for so long. The governmant and times change. Calm neighborhoods might become gethos in the future. Due to imigration or whatever else. If you live somewhere where it's becoming unsafe, you absolutely should get a gun and train with it multiple times a week so that you can save lives. A cop is just a dude with a gun, thus a gun is a cop at command.

Fire. It felt like fire. I had a psycho step-cousin who was jealous that he was no longer the baby of the family. He once took me to middle of a lake on a floaty on kicked me off. I didn’t know how to swim. My brother retrieved my and did CPR, while my dad was busy trying to put new holes in his body. After that we were all sent to get the mail for my grandfather. It was about a quarter mile from his house. On the way back, Tony called my name. I turned around and he shot me. It was a low caliber rifle and from quite a distance. I was lucky. He shot the front of my thigh. It went in about half an inch. It felt like a fire I couldn’t put out. I hopped down the hill to the house, screaming the whole way. Meanwhile, my brothers were trying to put new holes in him. My mom heard my screams and ran out to get me. Another brother (I have a crapton) scooped me up and carried me inside. There were eight kids in my family, so my mom was a DIY kind of mom. She grabbed some tweezers, rammed them in, and yanked the bullet out. I’m pretty sure all the glass in the house shattered from my screams. The fire didn’t go out for four days. I was 8 years old. I’m in my 50s now and I still remember how it felt. I have a scar on my thigh and in each side of the scar you can see the part where my mom rammed the tweezer in. Not a big deal, it was only a flesh wound. But, damn it hurt!
