EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My hip did take quite a hit, thankfully the x-ray showed no significant damage. It would appear that the only thing seriously hurt was my pride. My thanks go out to the ambulance service and the folks at A&E. If you're reading this you know who you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Excuse me? I don't appreciate young whippersnappers like yourself telling me what to do. Please keep your opinions about my body to yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 This is NOT something to joke about. I feared that I was seriously hurt and with no friends/family available to ferry me to A&E what else was I supposed to do? Please inform me for future reference. Man the f**k up and stop wasting valuable resources? In agony but had time to ask for opinion on P&B. Right you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I was laying prone on my bathroom floor and daren't move in fear of spinal injuries. Thankfully I had my phone at hand so was able to call for help. I had to do something to pass the time before the ambulance arrived and, naturally, P&B was my first port of call. Why are you so angry? Situations like this are exactly why the ambulance service exists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thankfully the front door was unlocked and they were able to let themselves in. In all honesty, I'm not sure what would have happened had it had been locked. I dread to think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've changed my mind on this situation tbh - when you said you pay for the service so you should use it, that convinced me So I called the fire brigade to extinguish the candle i lit earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you were undressed I hope you were at least able to adopt an attractive pose for when the ambulance men arrived, if not a clean pair of underpants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Poor you. How did you let them in? Never mind that - the ambulance arrived, carted him off to the hospital, gave him an x-ray, and got him back home safely and back on P&B, all in a little over an hour. And they say the NHS is underfunded! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was indeed in the buff. I did consider getting up and throwing on some clothes but, as previously mentioned, feared that I had sustained spinal injuries. I weighed up the options and decided that temporary embarrassment was better than potential paralysis. All in all, I stand by that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Never mind that - the ambulance arrived, carted him off to the hospital, gave him an x-ray, and got him back home safely and back on P&B, all in a little over an hour. And they say the NHS is underfunded! Not sure where you are getting your timings from but they are incorrect. I believe I was in and out in a little under three hours, not the one hour that you have stated.Thankfully I had my phone with me so was able to pass the time with you guys on P&B (it is a smartphone). Thank you for the company, it is the only thing that kept me sane. Edited May 10, 2015 by EnglishmanAbroad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishmanAbroad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hiya xbl, hiya.Sorry, I'm not down with my acronyms and internet slang, what does this stand for? I'm really struggling with this one to be honest, especially after having several colleagues who have worked with NHS 24 and I know how the service operates. So you're alone, you have had a bad fall, you have the presence of mind to phone NHS 24 advising them you have had a bad fall (because that would be my first port of call if it's so bad) you have a hip injury etc and the "Advisor" suggests you ring an ambulance yourself despite all this. Thank goodness you overcame the agony to keep us all posted on this website, otherwise what would have happened if a non emergency ambulance hadn't reached you in 35 minutes... Or you could just be a lying, trolling c**t? I did not call the ambulance, the advisor handled everything for me. God bless her.I've never experienced anything like this in the past so I'm not sure what the usual protocol is or whether my experience was unusual. All in all, I am very happy with the service I received. As mentioned previously, I own a smartphone so was able to pass the time on P&B and other websites. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to believe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
