How hard are the people of after hours

LostCorkGuy

I'm sitting on the couch in my gaff foot up on the table with two broken toes , I've an ice pack on them but I'm refusing to go to the doctors , its only toes and they'll be grand !

My mum broke one of her's before and went to the doctor waited ages and he said just rest it and bind it to the other toes , I'm not forking out 50 quid just for that so I'm going to struggle through , act tough and bind them myself

But because my flat mate is trying to guilt trip me into going to the doctor , women eh ? , :rolleyes: , I need examples of grievous injuries the people of AH went through and didn't get the attention of the HSE , so I can say I'll be grand

I have a booboo on my finger

Do you want a kick in the face?

Your nasty story made me cry. I'm telling my mammy.

Walked a considerable distance on a broken leg, thinking at the time I'd only sprained the ankle. I guess it was adrenaline taking over though as my pain threshold is usually quite low.

dr.bollocko

You're not going to the doctor because you're not willing to pay 50 quid.

That's not hard, that's tight.

If you were on a medical card you'd be in that doc's office right now.

Not that I am slagging. I'd probably be the same. Public health services are a joke.

If the pain starts going up your leg it could be a blood cloth and you'll die. GO TO A DOCTOR.

Cut them toes off!

No win situation, here:

You go to the doctor:
Woman - "Ah, poor LostCorkGuy - a little stubbed toe and he's off to the doctor-woctor--boo hoo.... Feckin wimp."

You don't go to the doctor:
Woman - "Feckin' LostCorkGuy - half his foot is broken and too scared to go see a bloody doctor..."

I once became trapped by a boulder in an isolated slot canyon in southeastern Utah, and was eventually forced to amputate my own right arm in order to free myself.
No biggie.

Don't be silly you wont die from toes

Everyone knows it's pointless going to the Doc with broken toes, they can't do anything for you except tell you to rest them. You'd only go to get a cert to keep you off work perhaps!

You are not hard OP, you are just doing what anyone else would do :rolleyes:

As hard as keyboards.

I once headbutted a keg. Not the best drunken idea. Have a scar on my forehead to prove it!

made a fortune out of it too or so I heard , selling you're story like that

People break toes all the time and most don't bother about the doctor. I'm not going to say you're doing the right thing, but it's what I'd do.

My tears could cure cancer. Too bad I have never cried.

The King of Moo

OP, I take it you're in a little doubt about whether you should go to the doctor or not and want us to reassure you that you're doing the right thing.

Well, I won't do that.
Every break is different: some can be fixed easily, others need a lot of attention, and a doctor is the best person to figure out what the case is with your toes.

Also, I once pulled out my own big toenail, so Oi'm well 'ard, innit?

Broke my wrist in school last year but stuck out the day because i didn't think it was that bad.

Turtyturd

Was on a fishing trip and the boat anchor fell onto my big toe and broke it.....dropped it onto the rest of my toes because of the 'odd' feeling in my big toe.




The first part of that story is true.

Don't be silly, you don't just blurt out your problem.
You go to the doctors for a bad cough or an ouchy ear and then when he finishes the examination and reaches to shake your hand you say that you hurt your foot badly, got electrocuted, your arms went black etc.

Mr Benevolent

Can't do much to repair broken toes except to strap them to non-broken ones. How did you break your toes **** anyway?

seamus

My Dad had to have one of his toes removed last week because he broke it at some point, it never healed, and he ignored the pain for more than a year.

Another six months and he would have lost his foot. True story. Though in most cases if you just bind the broken toe to a good toe beside it and don't do anything stupid like go for a run, it'll heal up.

I've cracked and/or bruised my ribs twice, but never bothered with a doctor. Wasn't going to spend money on a GP and X-Rays only for them to tell me, "Nothing we can do for you, just don't do anything strenuous for a few weeks and you'll be grand".

I'll put you through the wall of A & E. Well 'ard.

the keen edge

Broke my heel bone in a night club while off my nut on disco biscuits, didn't bother going to the A&E after it happened; went back to a house party instead and banged another couple of pills, which was pretty much a fcuking waste of time as I couldn't really dance with the broken heel and all.

Spent six painful weeks in crutches as a result. However a decade on its healed so well that I can't remember was it the right or left foot which incurred the injury.

Can't believe it took so long for a reply of this nature, quite disappointed.

OT: Split my head when I was younger, refused to go to the hospital because I was scared too hard for that crap!

Where To

Hard enough.

MajorMax

I broke 2 bones in my right hand, turns out the human skull is VERY hard. I had a cast up to my elbow and I was told I might need surgery once the cast came off after 6 weeks.
I got bored not being in work, at the time I was working as a bouncer. After a fortnight I took the cast off myself.
I never went back to the hospital.
I'm not saying I'm hard, but I will sometimes admit to being an idiot. The worst bit was after being back in work a new guy started and I shook hands with him. He was a bonecrusher, literally in this case and I felt the half healed bones snap again.
I still have one knuckle lower than the others.

I was helping the old man fit central heating in a house one summer during the hols, and one day I was standing under a doorway like a dick, while he was on a ladder bashing a hole above the doorway so's he could feed a pipe through it. Unfortunately a brick landed on my head and the blood started gushing. I asked him if he'd give me a lift to the hospital and he said "You've got your bike haven't ya?".

So I peddled off 5 miles to the A&E with blood pouring down my face and got about thirty stitches in the top of my head. My skull was obviously too thick to have any other damage.

My old man was a hard bastard, but that day I was harder than he was.

I fell 40,000 feet onto jagged rocks below.

But folks were tougher back then. I was jutterbugging later that night!

So hard that my toes don't break. Have you ickle girlie toes?

Fizman

I fell awkwardly playing a soccer match about 4 years ago. Got VERY winded and chest felt strange, and my breathing was strained to say the least. I had to come off about 10 mins later but just put it down to a muscle tear or something like that.

Two days pass, and there is no let up. I go to my doc who says after about 10 secs, that I more than likely have been walking around for 3 days with a collapsed lung.

My reaction something along the lines of :eek:

I go straight to the Regional, X ray confirms that it is 70% collapsed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumothorax) and I need a procedure straight away, where they stick a tube in me to drain the fluid and re-inflate. I was in for a week.

It reoccurred a year later, thus setting alarms bells off so corrective surgery was the next step.

Good times.

Laika1986

Around 7 inches on a good day

Two years ago I fell at Electric Picnic on the Friday night. Left ankle and Right leg below the knee were killing me. Went to the rave in the forest and all. Next morning, drove into Portlaoise and got nurofen and voltarol gel (they wouldn't even give me nurofen plus!). Danced the weekend away.

Turned out I tore the ligaments in one of my ankles and broke my right knee. Whoopsadaisydoodles

how far is the bone sticking out? If you can shove it back in you should be fine if not you might need to go to the doctor

Seachmall

I went to a Pendulum gig with a broken rib a year or two back. I found myself in the mosh pit, and when I eventually broke out of it I had to spend most of the night in the smoking area as the bass from the gig was killing me.

Think that's the only time I broke anything. Dislocated my shoulder a few times when I was younger.

When I was 13 or 14, I vaguely remember a stabbing pain in my lower back. I lost the use of my legs for what seemed like hours, but was probably minutes. I just waited it out and eventually I came round - no big deal.

This could have been a dream......

Ive a black belt in every martial art- even those not invented yet- and I would do some serious damage- yet rather go online and complain about it

Next time don't punch someone in the forehead

Born to Die

At half-time I reset my broken leg, stitched up the gaping wound where the bone had come through, cauterised it using the tin from my hurley and went on to win the first of my all-Ireland hurling medals.

Good times
