There are just some moments in life that are just too strange to be random? But it's quite possible life really is just that random. There are implausible situations like sharing the same middle name as your lover or discovering a long lost twin, or finding your hair beret from kindergarten while you're skinny dipping in the ocean; that fall under the moments you swear you can't "make this stuff up" even of you tried category. Those are the times when you have to either leave it all up to the possibility of the random or that there is divine power at play.
Redditor u/Ashaliedoll was wondering what deja vú moments we've all experienced by asking.... What has been the biggest coincidence you've experienced in your life so far?
Gimme my Meds....
Emergency room RN here.
It's not unusual for me to pull out medications for several patients at a time. When I do this, I just put a patient sticker on them so I know whose is whose. I then administer the meds and toss the vial. On just a couple occasions, an empty vial has found its way to my pocket and come home with me. Not a big deal, I just bring it back to the hospital and toss it on my next day of work, so no one's privacy is violated.
Anywho, I was in a bad code a few months ago. This lady got CPR, epi, and ended up intubated and everything else. We worked her for a long time, got pulses back, and sent her to the ICU.
The next day I was doing a deep house cleaning, and organizing a drawer I hadn't gone through in a long time. I felt something weird and pulled it out. It was an empty vial with a patient sticker on it; the same patient I had coded just the day before.
A chill went down my spine. Not only had I cared for this patient before (a year ago) but I happened to find the old vial the day right after we saved her life.
Creepy as hell. CursesandMutterings

I go on a mental illness chatroom with maybe 150-200 regulars; a majority are American but we have a couple of Indians, a Belgian, a Bangladeshi, a Jordanian and a lot of people from the anglosphere as well. I've been going every day for 2 years.
A while back someone there told me that he lives in the town closest to the rural farm area I live in, where I do most of my activities outside the house (school, medical care, et cetera; most of my family work in town). He had no way of knowing where I lived besides that I live in Pennsylvania! It's a small world. (He does not know that I live right next to him because I don't know him too well.) Audacious531
