Once there was a healer who didn't understand the mechanics of a new boss fight. They were supposed to heal through a certain debuff but instead they tried to cleanse it, which made the situation worse. This led to the whole party taking massive damage and several wipes before they figured out what was wrong.
One horror story could be a healer who constantly ran out of mana at crucial moments. They didn't manage their cooldowns well and ended up with no way to heal the tank during a big boss attack. This led to the tank dying and the whole group wiping.
I heard of a cat that got its tongue cut by a sharp edge on a chewed - up Nylabone. It was a really scary situation as the cat was in pain and bleeding. The owner didn't expect such a thing to happen with a product that's supposed to be safe for pets.
There was a case where a person's skin got so inflamed from using retinol that they had to stop using all skincare products for a while. The inflammation was so bad that it took weeks for the skin to calm down, and during that time, they had to be very careful about what they ate and how they exposed their skin to the environment.
Yes. I've heard of a case where the anesthesia was administered incorrectly, and the patient woke up during the surgery and felt every cut and movement. It was a traumatic experience for the patient. Also, there was a situation where the anesthesia caused the patient to have a seizure immediately after the operation, which was very unexpected and dangerous.
Yes. I heard of a case where Prilosec seemed to disrupt a person's normal gut flora. They had been taking it for a while, and then they started having all kinds of digestive problems like diarrhea and bloating that they didn't have before. It was a real horror for them as it affected their daily life and they had to stop taking Prilosec and try to find other ways to manage their original issue.
Yes. I heard of someone who got a booster and then had a very high fever for days. It was really concerning as it didn't go down with normal fever - reducing medications. Another story is about a person who got a booster and then felt like their heart was racing all the time. They were worried that there was something seriously wrong with their heart.
Sure. I've heard of a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis while on Crestor. Rhabdomyolysis is a very serious condition where muscle tissue breaks down and releases a protein into the blood that can damage the kidneys. This patient had to be hospitalized immediately and it was a life - threatening situation all because of taking Crestor.
There's a story of someone in an MLM for essential oils. The MLM had a complex compensation plan that was really hard to understand. The person was constantly misled by their upline about how much they could earn. They kept buying more oils to reach different levels in the plan. In the end, they had a room full of oils they couldn't sell, and they realized that the MLM model was designed to benefit only those at the very top, leaving most of the recruits in financial trouble.
Sure. There was a home - cleaning franchise where the franchisor took a large percentage of the franchisees' revenue for 'advertising' but there was no visible increase in business due to it. Also, in a tutoring franchise, the franchisor provided really outdated teaching materials. Franchisees had to spend a lot of their own money to update them. Another bad one was a pet - care franchise where the franchisor didn't support the franchisees during a local crisis that affected the pet - care industry.
I've heard that Monet haircare products sometimes made hair fall out. It was really distressing for those who experienced it. They would comb their hair and find large amounts of hair coming out, which they suspected was due to using Monet products.
