In the last year alone I pulled a siatic nerve… Burned my stomach (small scar) and broke the left most bone in my left foot in 3 places and barely dodged surgery as it is… So not great?
When I was 4 or 5 my 300 pound dad fell on me on the street.
Not well.
I basically still have a broken nose since then. The bone is blocking my left nostril for the most part. When I was at the hospital, none of the doctors noticed my broken nose. I did however need to get X-Ray or CT scan (I don’t remember which one it was) done urgently. The “urgently” took a month. “Oh, look, your nose was broken. You’ll be able to get plastic surgery at 18 for free, since it limits your breathing.”
Anyway, I’d still have bleeding face scraped from the asphalt. Perhaps even broken rib(s). It’s not unlikely for that to happen in such case, and it’s not like anyone would notice.
But this seems to be nothing special.
My dad broke his knee, called an ambulance, they took him to the ER. Then they took an X-Ray of his knee, someone just told him “It’s not broken. Go to checkup in a week.” He also had to get home somehow, on his own.
Well, anyway, he went to that doctor for the “Checkup” right next day. He looked at the X-Ray, said it’s very obviously broken and will need a surgery.
He also had some problem with his spine, took over 10 years for anyone to look at it, at which point it was late. Now his left leg is basically paralyzed and he’s on strong drugs.
My grandma had a badly done amputation, it kept bleeding and oozing pus. She also had some infusions recommended, but the doc who recommended those said she’ll need approval from GP. But the GP would have to visit her at home as transporting her would be too risky. Response from GP? “Not worth it, she’ll die soon anyway.”
Anyway, this kinda turned into rant. At the very least my whole mouth would be bleeding as I keep accidentally biting my cheeks and tongue.
