wwaswas - MemberI had a femoral neck fracture.
I'd like to say I hopped to the nearest road and got the ambulance from there.
Reality was I stayed very still until someone with a 4x4 and a stretcher turned up.
I declare you a big poof- I walked into A&E on my broken hip.
Mind you I only did that because I'm a ****ing idiot.
I've dislocated my kneecaps 5 times...
This thread makes me want to cradle them and be sick a little bit...
Flashbacks - yay!
[i]Gary_M - you made her drive?[/i]
Not at all, her choice. I'd had a couple of pints so I wasn't driving.
Cheers folks.
Collar bone broken in four places. The two parts of the main break now overlap by a centimetre and apparently it will heal this way leaving a lump of bone.
The SAR copter arrived fairly quickly so I guess they were already nearby. I'm pretty grateful to them.
Maybe I should think of a charity ride...
Collar bone broken in four places
Well you did a proper job of that didn't you! One place was bad enough for me...
It was the SAR heli which picked up Kunstler. If there is any consolation it then went from the ERI to an incident near Kirkcaldy so in the overall scheme of things I doubt it cost the taxpayer much more either way:- It had to travel to the Edinburgh area anyway.
Pain from broken bones clearly does vary a lot. When I was 17 I played on for 10 minutes with a broken collar bone & I wasn't aware at the time that I was being a hero.
