From the ZM Podcast Network It's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod and today it's a spillover podcast It's a spillover Because we did have a lot of messages in About fainting Where you fainted, I'm just scrolling down and just finding so many messages It's a spillover. Because we did have a lot of messages in about fainting. Where you fainted.

I'm just scrolling down and just finding the bottom of this. So many messages. So many messages. So many messages. So many messages. I fainted at work in the tea room after taking my cup out to wash it. A similar thing. I just caught my finger between my leg and the desk and it hurt.

And then when I went down, bam, I split my head open on the ground too. So they called an ambulance. I don't think I've ever fainted. Really? I think there was a weird one. Yeah, there they called an ambulance. I don't think I've ever fainted. Really? I think there was a weird one. Yeah, there was once where it nearly happened and I knew it was coming, so I sat on the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you can get to the ground though, that's so good.

It's like, and then your vision goes and your hearing goes and everything. I was overseas. I was in a hotel, quite sick. I got out of bed too quickly to answer the door to the cleaning lady, opened the door, and then hit the floor right in front of her. She spoke no English. I could only explain that I was fine with a weak thumbs up. God, I wonder if they had clothes on because how often are you nude in a hotel room? If you go to the door though, you chuck a robe on.

If you answer the door, you might put a little bit of clothes on. When I was 14, my uncle let me work. Not super legal since I wasn't being paid. In the back room of a big pharmacy that he managed. Okay, it's a pharmacy. I was imagining, my uncle let me work. Not super legal since I wasn't being paid. In the back room of a big pharmacy that he managed. Okay, it's in a pharmacy. I was imagining it was a workshop. Imagine all the free pills. Yeah.

Well, no, that's not how that works. I was on my feet for 12 hours with no breaks sorting stock. I didn't know. I fainted. And when I hit the ground, apparently when I came to, he said, I'm going to get in trouble for this. Yeah, like a workplace thing yeah workplace safety thing uh serial fainter here i've heard from a few serial fainters uh they said the worst would have been uh going through a car wash uh and i don't know if i got excited about it or what and i was like faint and onto the horn it's a lot of sound it's

a lot of visual and sounds in a car wash. Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap. The coloured foam. Sometimes you get the coloured foam. I was 18 and pregnant. Went to pick up my younger sister from school and fainted outside the school hall. The teachers who helped me were so confused, yelling, What class is this kid in? What class are they from?

I woke up to go to the toilet before milking and fainted and hit my head on the shower across from the toilet and shouted at my boyfriend who came to find me butt naked and crying because I woke up on the floor with a bleeding head. Lucky you woke up. I know. Years ago I fainted while I was at work. I was a support worker working in healthcare at

a clinic's home. It was my first day at work and I had recently found out I was pregnant. Safe to say I didn't return back to work until I had my now five year old daughter. So many pregnant people fainting. I guess because your blood's still enough for two humans. It changes everything, man. It changes everything.

As an ambulance officer on the job, I held it together until I walked into an ED and then flat on the floor, the patient went one way and I went the other, still mortified about this to this day. Oh, yeah. Surely every ambulance, every paramedic sort of story like that, something that finally gets you. Something must get you. Now, have you been watching The Pit? I have.

I haven't finished it. I got Christine onto it. I got my mum onto it. Now, your mum said she loves it. She loved it. Has she finished it? Yeah, of course she has. She finished it real quick.

What was her review? What does she say? She doesn't say a binge watch something. She's got another weird word for it. Completed? Because my mum doesn't say, oh, that person dissed that other person. My mum says dish. Like, oh, she dished him.

Oh, like dished him rather than dissed him. Yeah. And she's got another word for binge and it's like that. It's changing one of the sounds. It might be a bonge. I bonged it. I bonged it. I bonged it.

I bonged it. I did a binge. It's such a great show. Did she rave reviews? Yeah, loved it. She said maybe towards the end it got a little far-fetched. Oh, really? She just said it just kept coming.

I think that was probably a fair reflection of an emergency department. I think the, yeah, because I watched it over maybe four nights. And yeah, I would go to bed, I'd just be racing. Yeah. It is non-stop. It's insane. It's so well done. It's so intense.

Fainting. I fainted after getting out of a hot therapy pool at the hospital. Thought I was in the water, so I started flapping my arms around. And that triggered a check for epilepsy, which I didn't have. But it was the flapping of the arms on the faint. They thought I was having a seizure. I came over with a sore tum-tum. Went to the loo.

The pain from my bowels caused me to faint. Pants down, period. So there's blood everywhere. Had auditory hallucinations. The pain from my bowels caused me to faint. Pants down, period, undies. So there's blood everywhere. Had auditory hallucinations. Woke up to myself screaming to a very new bewildered partner. He's like, is it too late to get out? Shitting blood everywhere.

Followed by a violent illness. Oh, God. That's not right. Hey, if someone can take you at your worst that early. They get you at your Beyonce. Yeah, exactly. I fainted in high school after getting the vaccination and had, I hit my head on the school stools on the way down.

The students were freaking out, but the nurses were like, this happens all the time. This happens all the time. I was a page boy at my brother's wedding. I was standing at the front with all the other grooms and when I fainted, fell back, hit my head on the pew behind me, apparently made a massive bang and it cut my head open. Fainted at the Mount Mongunganui hot pools.

There is no ladylike way to faint in a bikini. I came to it as being held like a baby on the lifeguard's lap, surrounded by a large group of people, safe to say I got out of there as quick as I could. Hot lifeguard? No word. You'd hope so. You'd hope so.

You'd hope so. Yeah. I fainted while conducting an endoscopy. Endoscopy. Is that a- Camera. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Down the throat. Down the throat. Is it? The colonoscopy is the ass end and the endoscopy is the top end. They washed the camera, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, good. Okay. Just wondering. Yeah. Give it a wipe. Just a quick wipe. Quick wipe. I was doing an exam on somebody.

I hadn't eaten and I was in a mask, so it was really hot. Thankfully, I got the camera out, put it down then just fainted straight onto the floor. I used to be a flight attendant for Air New Zealand I fainted mid meal delivery. Feeling it coming on, I ditched the trolley and ping ponged down the aisle. Made it to the last

five rows before hitting the floor. Moral of the story, flying hung over is strongly not recommended. Oh dear. Yeah. Fainted 20 minutes after donating blood was still at the blood donation centre, fainted onto the table of biscuits. Oh, no. Fainted onto the table of biscuits.

That's one thing you're meant to eat and have a little sugary drink. Yeah. Get your blood sugars up. I was 10 watching my first horse get his nuts chopped out. Everything was going good until the vet got a big pair of scissors out and started cutting through the cord. And down I went. No, I couldn't watch that.

Fainted during a school play. I was a King's messenger and I proudly delivered my single line and took my place at the back of the King's chair. Next second, I woke up covered in the backdrop with everyone standing over me. Awfully embarrassing. You would never forget that. There's just so many.

Oh, good stuff. I fainted on the toilet taking a shit when i came to um the the i'd gone down onto my face and my ass is in the air and the poo come out and run down my back that's good stuff how do you fight do you are you squeezing you're like maybe you shouldn't you shouldn squeeze like that. You shouldn't be squeezing. You sound hemorrhoids. Sometimes you've got to get it started, though. Yeah. I was with my partner in ED.

He dislocated his shoulder and was getting it put back into place. I went wobbly, went to splash water on my face. I was like, uh-oh, uh-oh, I'm going down. And I smacked the front of my head on the doorframe. And then I landed backwards and I cut. And it was the whole thing. And I ended up being in there longer than he was. So many, so many, so many, so many.

People need to eat. Yeah. A lot of these people were quite hungry and hadn't had food or drink. That's what I reckon got me when I fainted. I hadn't eaten that day. Not a problem with me. Always eating. Always eating.

That's good. You're never hangry and never feinty.
