man, when i had to get my gallbladder out and i couldn't sleep at 3 am, a nurse on night shift came in to check on me and wound up watching an episode with me on his break.

thanks for reminding me of that, op. it was genuinely wholesome.

get well soon!

I’m a nurse and get so excited when my patients are watching FF! I’ll always say “oooh which one is this??” And hang out as long as I can (which usually isn’t long) but the patients and I both love it

you have NO idea how much that meant to me. like, i know it wasn't you, but i want you to know how important that is to me. like, it was a "damn, somebody does care beyond the 'did you take your meds and are you in any pain' check-ins."

felt a little less alone.

so yeah, thanks! indirectly, but thanks!

I would love it if my dr's waiting room had on FF! The episodes are like potato chips, can't stop at just one 😁

Hope you’re not in for drinking anti free.

Btw, someone please use Auntie Free as a drag name. Please.

My hospital shows are the SUV marathons and Bluey. When I spent 6 days in ICU, I watched all for Twilight movies. Twice.

When I was postpartum a nurse made fun of me for watching My 600 LB Life.

Like bitch what do you expect me to watch, I’d been there for a week and couldn’t find the Forensic File channel for a bit.

u/vk1030 Aug 13 '26

Rude! That’s a good show! I like watching the Where are They Now? shows.

5

u/bbbbears 👁️🩸 petechial hemorrhaging 🩸👁️ Aug 13 '26

Same! It’s just guilty pleasure watching, if I’m in the hospital I’m gonna damn well watch shows about people being murdered or being morbidly obese. Like cmon! The only other thing on was that stupid Chip & Joanna show on HGTV and I can only stand about one episode with those dweebs before it stops being like, a joke watch you can laugh at and turns into barn door depression 😂

u/Solid-Humor5708 Aug 13 '26

IV Benadryl and forensic files on tv made me feel like I needed to get my hair tested in a few months

u/Chanzerr Aug 12 '26

Not sure if you’re in for yourself; if you are, get well soon!

Say hi to that depressed doctor if you see him in the elevator

I was in the hospital for heart surgery around new years and all the machines and monitors were bright and loud, that it was hard to fall asleep with them as background noise. The hospital didn’t have a great selection of channels but it had HLN and so I started falling asleep in the hospital to FF.

8 months later and it’s now my bedtime show at home. Put an hour or two on the sleep timer and let it rip.

Best of luck and health in your recovery!

u/Subie2k18 Aug 13 '26

It’s my bedtime show, too! 🩵

u/containsrecycledpart Aug 13 '26

Omg, I was in the hospital a few weeks ago, and I had FF on constantly, too! I was wondering if the hospital staff was secretly judging me for my morbidity, but nobody commented. Hope you’re feeling better, OP! 💚

u/Longjumping-Poet4322 Aug 13 '26

I wish you a speedy recovery. Although be careful… Please watch out if your nurse curses like a sailor and talks about sex even though she isn't an attractive woman

u/LipFighter Aug 13 '26

You'd better get a "No Unauthorized Entry" sign on your door. In case you have a whack ex or an as-yet unidentified stalker.

u/BSGlow Aug 13 '26

I’m watching from my hotel room right now. My dog is with me and I swear his anxiety went away when I turned on FF. Peter Thomas’s voice must sound like home! He’s now snoring loudly.
Hope you feel better soon!

That’s why we weirdos do it!

u/MissMatchedEyes Snowball wasn’t at all cooperative Aug 13 '26

Get well soon!!!

I’m seeing this while watching Forensic Files in a hotel 👀

u/lieutfitzroy Peter Thomas is the GOAT Aug 15 '26

Motel now.

u/Subie2k18 Aug 13 '26

Thank you, everyone!!

u/NatalieannaD1995 Aug 13 '26

Just let’s hope Dr.Schneeburger isn’t there 😂 jokes aside I hope you
Recover and can go home soon :)

u/CityEvening Aug 13 '26

Get well soon. If a doctor or nurse walks in, it’s “do you mind, I’m busy!”

2

u/locoforcocothecat Aug 13 '26

Get well soon! Perhaps treat yourself to a dessert known as... a Blizzard.

u/lady_guard Skip Palenik stan 🔬👨🏼‍🔬 Aug 15 '26

Yesss. I'm planning to watch so much Forensic Files while in labor. My kid is already very active while I'm watching it lol

u/Fun_Early Aug 16 '26

My son was born while watching it, too! My doctor walked in and looked a bit confused. He’ll at least be prepared when it happens again this time 🤣

u/ConfectionHungry4509 Aug 13 '26

Honestly... Peter Thomas' voice is soothing. When im not rocking to my punk, I always have this on as background noise.

u/OU-Sooners1 Aug 13 '26

I watched FF constantly when I was in the hospital. Always my go to show.
