Props to this person for never washing their mouth off their friend’s blood. I’m sure they had the chance to do it, but chose to walk all over the hospital with their mouth covered in blood so that the nurse could see it, otherwise the joke wouldn’t have landed.
You ever try to get blood out in a hurry?
I mean, obviously this is the internet and nothing is real, but it’s not impossible that they still had some blood on them in the frenzy to get to the hospital.
I don’t know how hospitals work in the US (assuming that OP is a US citizen, because that’s what we do on the internet), but where I come from, determining the cause of an injury is very important to decide on an effective treatment. Bites in particular are very nasty and can lead to a lot of scary complications (including human bites!).
There’s no way in hell the nurse just said “yeah ok got it fam” and went along with her day like it wasn’t important.
And maybe I’m too jaded, but I read “we also got engaged” and my mind automatically added “and everyone clapped” at the end of the sentence lol
There’s no way in hell the nurse just said “yeah ok got it fam” and went along with her day like it wasn’t important.
I suspect that, if true, it was clarified further down the line before treatment. Or, considering how I’ve been in-and-out of the ER, the nurse just wrote down ‘human bite’ regardless of what the patient claimed lmao.
Like I said. It’s the internet. I’m not saying it’s definitely real. But it’s far from impossible.
She would chart the cause as accurately as she can; whether she also writes down the obvious lie is up to her. Which means she would write down “human bite”; not because it’s best for the patient, not because of liability, but because every other staff member (nurses and doctors included) would laugh at her if she didn’t. Nurses got a pecking order, and writing down obvious nonsense in a patient’s chart is a good way to drop ranks.
As someone that has worked in healthcare and knows what ER staff see every day:
Lol, bet?
I feel like there’s not much hygiene difference between a human bite and a rat. They’re probably both equally bad
Preface: I am not a doctor, this is just my understanding. Human bites are, on the whole, much worse. You have to consider that the human mouth is full of bacteria that the human immune system hasn’t already dealt with, so human bites can infect really bad.
Not that rats don’t have awful things in their mouths. Get it looked at either way.
yeah okay that happens
That’s just kinky with extra steps
Pretty sure that’s what the nurse assumed.
I’m not confident the nurse was wrong!
You have to stab him with a dagger too and see which is worse.
You have to do it many times to weigh the average
And compute the standard deviation.
I’m loving the comments.
Half of them are discussing the game mechanics and damage of the bite.
The other half are sharing the feelings of affection that apparently came from being bitten.I mean, if a friend bit you would it not cause some aff-Oh, just friends, not roommates…hm…

I actually did bite my dm with explicit consent. because I was trying to argue that a ranger/barbarian’s bite would be d6+Strength Modifier. and not d4+Strength Modifier. and he was like lmao human bites aren’t even that strong. and I said bet. and he said well bite me then as strong as an 18 attack roll would be (the prison guard had 14AC btw) and we had to stop the game because he had to go get stitches.
also he didn’t wanna say he let himself get bit to win an argument that he lost so badly he’s in the emergency room, so he was like “a rat did it” and the nurse turns her head 12 degrees to the left and sees my bloody mouth. and goes “yeah okay that happens”
and we did get the barbarian bite attack to be d6+Strength Modifier. I’m also now engaged to this guy and this campaign I get to be the dm!
probablybadrpgideas Absolute rollercoaster, but congrats on the engagement - Paper
And then everyone clapped.
i know people on the Internet have seemingly impossibly boring lives where nothing ever happens to them - but this isn’t even that hard to believe
It just seems like a bit much to be believable to me.
It makes me think of a story that they wanted to tell, but they realized it was maybe kind of boring, so they added fun details for the sake of it.
I’m sure elements of it are true, like I’d be willing to bet the whole thing about the damage going from a d4 to d6 was just a conversation.
It’s a cute story for sure, but for me, it’s a touch beyond the suspension of disbelief.
But hey, if I’m wrong, I wish them many happy returns.
That when they arrived in the Hospital Like half an hour later they still had blood in their mouth that they didnt wash out, wipe away or anything?
How many people have you bitten? Blood stains your lips, especially if you let it dry, it’s not as easy as wiping it off. You need hot water and soap, which might not have been in the car during the trip to the hospital.
“yeah let me thoroughly clean myself off before rushing this man to the hospital”
I don’t know, I don’t think anyone would come up with something like this.
Frankly, it sounds plausible.
Once when my sister and I were teenagers, she was hogging the computer and so I just picked up the chair with her in it to move her out of my way. As I walked past, her friend (whom I hadn’t touched) used her bite to make an attack of opportunity against me. It wasn’t gentle - there was no blood but there were tooth-marks.
I had mixed feelings afterwards. On the one hand, it hurt. On the other hand, a girl touched me. With her mouth. I had never been kissed at that point but being bitten was close…
(I didn’t end up marrying her.)
Also a d6 bite is nonsense. The average commoner has 4 hp and 10 strength, so one commoner would be able to kill another commoner with a single bite 50% of the time. I’m not saying a human bite can’t be lethal, but it’s not “stabbed with a shortsword” lethal. Meanwhile, even a d4 bite from a level 1, 16-str barbarian is already invariably lethal to a commoner.
(Yeah, I know, HP isn’t supposed to be realistic, etc. I just hate fun.)
OP got blood-bonded lmao
His DM: “I don’t believe you. Bite me. HARD. 😈”
LOL, that’s amazing.
Also, d4 is the damage of a dagger, which is a weapon made specifically to kill people and has a ~25% chance of killing a commoner (who typically has 4 hp) in one hit with just the rolled damage.
Exactly. I mean it’s a cute story but I 100% still thinks that is 1d4 damage lol
I’m not looking to get married, but keep in mind it’s a Barbarian bite. So the biter’s half-feral and accustomed to gnawing on raw meat.
thats why the d4 has +strength modifier though
But imagine a barbarian bit a DM, and then some guy who hit the gym a lot and could lift as much as the barbarian bit an identical DM. I maintain that the barbarian would do more damage, due to a lifetime of e.g. breaking bones with their mouth, gnawing the bark off a tree, etc.
but why would a barbarian do all those things? the barbarian class is just a strong and tough guy who gets angry, not an actual barbarian that eats bark and stuff like that
i mean they can be but they can also be simple people who are strong and get angry easily (without doing what people would call barbarities)
