When you are admitted to a hospital, they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on it. But there are other different colored wristbands which symbolizes other things. The red wristbands are placed on dead people.
There was one surgeon who worked on night shift in a school hospital. He had just finished an operation and was on his way down to the basement. He entered the elevator and there was just one other person there. He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended. When the elevator door opened another woman was about to enter when the doctor slammed the close button and punched the button to the highest floor. Surprised, the woman reprimanded the doctor for being rude and asked why he did not let the other woman in.
The doctor said “that was the woman i just operated on. She died while I was doing the operation. Didn’t you see the red wristband she was wearing?”
The woman smiled and raised her arm “something like this?”

WHO WAS ELEVATOR
Yeah dude, That was rude, dead or not, let her in. >triggeredgrammar-less<
Such and old story. A good one tho. 10/10
At the hospital I work at white is your ID band, red is allergy list, orange is code status, yellow is fall risk and green is your type and screen bracelet for if you need blood.
I got an ad for wrist-band custom bracelets xD
In Boston Red Wristbands Mean You Are Allergic To Something…
Thats cool you can prank your friends with that
its good but there were a few mistakes and whats with the ending. but i loved the idea and the main plot of the story!
this is boring
It may not be accurate, but I love this one. Then again, I’ve always been a humorist, so I’m probably biased, but I think that this was well done.
Red Wristbands are for allergies, they’re used in the OR too so the whole team know if the patient has an allergy.
“He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended. When the elevator door opened another woman was about to enter”
So, I’m guessing the woman who died on his operating table took the stairs or another elevator to a lower level before trying to get in the elevator he was in?
Is it normal for surgeons to head on down to the hospital basement after surgery?
I got a red wrist band…it’s for patients that have an allergy to certain meds/materials.
Or maybe I’m dead…can a ghost comment?
Had lots of potential but you totally ruined it at the end
That was a delicious pasta! I will share with friends next time. At the end I was like “OHHHH SHIIIT DOOD”. Really spooked me! But then I read the comments and had to keep myself from laughing so as to not wake the boyfriend rofl.. I love this community (ie: “christmas hulk”)
actually my dad works at a hospital and THERE it means ‘this patient has a ______ allergy’…. can’t remember what the blank was though
I’m actually a zombie. I overdosed and was legally dead for two minutes and then for some reason I just came back. Being a zombie is not as fun as it sounds. Plus when the doctors find out that you died they try to keep you in check and pump all different sorts of meds in you to keep you some what alive.
For me most of the time I’m freezing. Doesn’t matter what tempature it really is. Most zomibes are depressed and worry a lot. It’s part of the anxiety. We undead have lots of issues I’d rather not get into right now.
But if you are undead and would like to talk then come to me. I’m always up, always around, and I’m just waiting to meet you.
In the hospital this weekend. Have an allergy to some obscure medication, apparently. Gave me a red allergy wristband. Could not get this story out of my head v___v
Hoody and I have a whole collection of red wristbands those who want to see it must pledge their allegance to slendy
Back in my country its black wristband for the deceased. Red is for people who don’t practice safe sex IYKWIM.
Red wristbands are for allergies actually.
I got a zebra rainbow wristband. What does that mean, everything?

….they don’t put wristbands on dead people, they put toe-tags…. because they keep them in refrigerated cupboard things until the morgue picks them up. And they take them out feet-first, so they need to identify them with toe-tags, not pull them all the way out to get to their wrist.
just common sense, kicking in.
In our local Hospital the red wrist bands indicate allergies, the funky smell indicates dead peeps….
I’m in the hospital right now, two days post-op, and I’m seriously thinking about using my red bracelet (at Shands it means ‘potentially fatal allergies’) to see if anyone else spends their recovery time reading creepypasta.
@gabbyandsophie XD Imma do that now lol.
At the hospital in my town a red bracelet means you are a fall risk.
Does this mean we can jump on the elevator with a white wristband we painted red and scare the crap out of people? :p
Lol. Red is for allergies. Im still wearing mine. XD
This has truly captured the essence of ‘HOLYSHIT GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!’.
Nice pasta.
GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS ELEVATOR!!!
I’d definitely just start punching the shit out of her.
Oh geeze, he’s stuck in the elevator with that zombie wench until the top floor. A real cliff hanger. Leaves the end to the imagination.
10/10. would eat again, and order delivery. Would also freeze, and reheat for my girlfriend on our third date in my apartment, where we’d watch episodes of friends and make passionate love on a bed of roses.
@34 (Armless): Nice. Getting the 34th comment AND having that comment as, “Sexy”
That gave me goosebumps, oh my God.
No one said that the woman would attack him. It’s just something to startle him.
I received a red wristband once when i got an appendectemy. it symbolized that i was allergic to nothing
…
What?
This story is more than just a creepypasta. Its older than creepypasta itself. its primordial.
Red wristbands are assigned to people with medical allergies. Paranormal crap.
most places in the u.s. give you a red wirst band if you have and kind of allergy to a medication so i always get one the one’s for being dead are put on a differrent linb and are more orange then red but could be considered red i guess
lol @ Russel and @ peeinacup XD
when i was scrolling down, i only scrolled until just BEFORE the last line. when i noticed (and read) the last line, a brick was shat.
I can’t do it all on my own, yes I know, I’m no superman.
Nice Scrubs reference.
THEN WHO WAS WOMAN?
“Something like this?”
“Yes, exactly like that.”
“These are allergy bands you dolt!”
Oh, also, I looked it up and red doesn’t mean dead.
The color coding goes as follows:
Do Not Resuscitate: Purple
Allergies: Red
Fall Risk: Yellow
Latex Allergy: Green
Restricted Extremity: Pink
So, that just blew away the whole “creepy” factor for me.
Ending line:
“What the fuck is up with this hospital?”
D: I always get a white one…damn generic hospital
Ah that chick in the elevator was messing with him, she found that wrist band on the ground D:
(ghostly moans)
And now you know why I never leave the house without some sort of weapon on me. Damn zombies can show up any time, anyplace. Nah, j/k.
But srsly, the color of wristband you get depends on the hospital you go to, how critical your condition is, and what you want the docs to do if your heart stops, or you stop breathing. Where my mom works, blue means “Just let me die.” Red means “Do whatever you freaking can, and if it doesn’t work after 20 minutes, call the morgue.” the rest I can’t remember, but every time I’m admitted I get a red one.
… meh, I refuse to be scared by this one. It is possible that the woman in the elevator will now attack the doctor, but here is my reasoning why she won’t:
1.) They were talking. Obviously, whatever she is, she has higher brain functions and is not just a rabid zombie out for brains.
2.) Leaving the possibility she would attack him as soon as he found her out. He didn’t: She had to show him her wristband.
3.) Ohcrap. If he explained to her that he knows the one woman was dead, he might Know Too Much, and the other woman might attack him. On the other hand, why would she show him the wristband and not just jump him?
“Higher brain function than a zombie” and not rotting but still dead? WAIT A FUCKEN SECOND
Lol @ Russell.
Lol the end is hilarious, if i was the dead girl he slammed the elevator door shut too i’d feel pretty damn angry. i hope the dead girls sister in the elavator its him.
…and then her teeth rot out, her eyes begin to glow red and her skin goes all scaly.
Then she screams ‘ WHY THE HELL DIDN’T YOU LET MY SISTER IN?’
Owned.
that is all I have to say…
elevator seckz with a dead woman, if he let the other one in it could have been a threesome
LOLZ.
Creepy stuff, when I visit the hospitalI always get a blue wristband. =(
And why the fuck was a dead woman doing in the elevator anyways? GO MAKE ME A SAMMICH DEADWOMAN!
LOL @39
“whatcha doin?”
“oh you know, just looking at some CP. I love CP! It’s my favorite thing to do, look at CP. it gives me tingles all over!”
@Meowmixkid
Never… abbreviate… Creepypasta… to CP…
Sweet jesus man/woman.
Oh my god CP are my initials
And then Surgeon was a zombie.
ok… the color is coded… red is for dead people BUT is also used for people which are prone to injure… or allergic, blue is hyper tension and does not need to be checked often, green is for patients just passing by… and yellow.. hope noon of you get a yellow-gold… does are for terminal pationts…. sorry for the spelling 9 inch laptops arent very confortable…
Not too sure really…..didn’t really think it through o___o
@12
Sweet. I want to break into a hospital and steal a red wristband now, because then I can prank people like that. :D
@34
Sexy how? O_o
Sexy….
It makes me want to twerk
creepy. I liked it.
Dammit I hate zombies!
i guess she has red this story b for :{)
i got a red wrist band from schliterban and some gilr asked me if i was a psyicho from some hospital
oooo this one gave me tingles
I want a red wrist band =/
Then make one, smart one.
Hey everyone! I’m blue! The fuck does that mean?
Imo the doctor is fucked lol
i dont think ive ever gotten a wristband =S
I liked this story. It was short, nummy, and to the freaking point.
i know its awsome every time somones X-box 360 dies it gets sent to me c: woot! *high fives*
MooMoon – so basically, you signed your own death sentence?
I’ve been wanting to do that for years…
Nice one, high five!
i fell off a tree one time …the Dr. gave me a red wrist band cause thats the color i picked :D
Chomaigawd why chu choose red?
The dead woman seems to have more manners then the doctor
Hey we paranormal creatures have felings to you know!!!!
“foolish” I totaly agree, he will be wailing on all the paranormal. AND I’LL BE THERE TO BACK HIM UP!!! *grabs bat* A cross and bible might work better, but they’re not as fun ^_^
Oh boy that was scary. And Sigma, it means you need to get your brain checked ‘cuz you got mental issues. Or you got a good story for CP (CreepyPasta)
I get a red and black wristband that absorbs the light around it and emits a faint wailing sound. What does that mean?
Lol. Red is what you’re alergic to at the hospitals I go to.
Maybe she didn’t react well to peniciln….
Russell will perpetually be kicking the asses of anything and everything paranormal.
On another note, this one made me laugh. Kind of like an awkward “…” moment afterwards.
dang it russell you get your ass back here and leave those ghouls and ghosts alone alreadly
and then i responded “no, something like this” and punched that cunt in the face
Damn it……. I may be dead but that shit still hurts……..
@joe I resemble that remark
This is more of a happy pasta than a creepy one. As long as the doctor doesn’t make an ass of himself by freaking out, he’ll have probably made a lifelong friend of a friendly, articulate dead person who could probably teach him how to cheat death in the same manner.
Or he could make sweet passionate love to her, and ignore the nagging question of whether or not doing such a thing with an undead person is necrophilia.
there are two types of people in this world and here are perfect examples of both
yay! :)
christmas hulk!
No, green means your the hulk. And any moment you’ll explode into a huge super hero, who for some reason manages to keep his pants on.
christmas it meean christmas some guy
they always give me a green one… what the hell does that mean???
I liked that one.
Damn! You ruined the surprise.
Dead Person is dead, lmao
And then he realized he has been using the wrong wristbands all along, not before killing that women thinking she’s a zombie.
yay for dead people!
I don’t think so, maybe?
i see dead people
I see alive people.
Are you dead, Stefanie?
When i end up in the hospital, for any reason and have to be admitted, i always receive a red wrist band.
At the hospital around here, red wristbands are used to to notify other doctors/nurses of an allergy.
You’re dead.
Same
so your dead too?
*you’re
When will they learn?
lol, wish the hospitals here would do that too. Would be pretty funny to see my friends freak out.
