I found some chicken in the fridge that my mom already cooked and I microwaved it for 20 sec. When I took it out and started tearing the meat apart, I noticed the inside of the drumstick was bleeding. So I only ate the outside meat but not the meat all the way inside. My dad said to eat only the meat on the outside and I'll be fine. Do you guys know if I would get sick or not? Should I go to the doctor?

Why would you need to go to the doctor?
Wost case scenario - you may be pooping through a screen door at 50 paces in a couple of hours. Nothing to worry about.

Cooked and microwaved chicken is very rare that it would give you a problem. If you do get sick then you might go to a doctor. No reason to go now. It is natural for chickens to have some large veins in their legs. And no big deal.
The cooking and microwaving should kill any bacteria that could be of harm. On the other hand you could be the start of the avian flu pandemic that is going to devastiate the human population of the earth. And it will be your fault.

You'll be fine.
What happened is your mom cooked a frozen chicken. Chicken bones are what make red blood cells (just like humans), especially leg bones. When frozen, some of that pigment seeps from the bone into the meat. Doesn't sound that appetizing, but not harmful at all. In fact, probably MORE nutritious than not from an iron-intake perspective.

Eating meat no matter how it is cooked (or not) will make us sick.
Physiologically we are not meat eaters. Our bodies are not designed to eat meat, and it is not our true nature to do so.
You can test this by looking at a pigeon when you are hungry.
Try it.. Do you want to pounce on it and kill/eat it?
I thought not..
But to get back to your issue. There is no reason to panic. Just wait and see. If you get sick, deal with it then, don't live in fear of possibly getting sick.
Try eating more fruit instead.

well one thing you should have told us, is how much blood, or was it just red near the bone, chicken doesn't usually drip blood (bleeding) as a person does when cut. if it was just red, do not worry, you aren't going to die, you will be just fine, just remember from now on, when you rip into a piece of chicken and you see red, nuke it for about 30-45 seconds...no problems

Blood in chicken is nothing to worry about, if it was properly cooked you should have nothing to worry about. If you start getting sick get it checked out though. (diarrhea, fever, ect.)

You should be fine, but if you start to physically feel ill, by all means, go to the doctor. Pay no attention to the fruity people, either....

unless your tummy goes topsy turvy you'll be alright, if it does you'll still live. i've done it some couple of times back and recall even liking the blood, but no longer of late
