Early Morning NHS Fun
"Hello, I've done something to my finger, but its not broken because I've had a broken finger before and this doesnt feel the same... well I've had several broken fingers, look this one is still a bit sideways bendy. Anyway, my hand swelled up and hasnt gone down for 3 days so here I am!" said a very cheerful and high-on-a-friends-cocodamol Mister B.

"Right, can you make a fist" Asked very bored looking student doctor.

"huurrrm....."

*Very audible cracking sound followed by Mister B passing out due to extreme shooting pain incapacitating entire left arm*

Long story short, I woke up several hours later after an operation to straighten my knuckle (because they just "couldnt get it to go right pulling it while you were out").

I was informed by a legal representative for the hospital that although the operation was technically performed without my consent, I had come to the A&E for assistance in the first place and avoided having my finger amputated by having said operation thus I wouldn't get very far if i tried to sue. Turns out I had cracked the knuckle completely in half, trapping part of the ligament and the crakcing sound was the knuckle (which had started to set) re-breaking and scraping the ligament.

Thanks Newcastle General Hospital and all the late night staff I probably chatted utter balls to whilst fairly out of it on Co-Codamol both before the op (my friends prescription) and after the Op (my very own prescription!)




Click "I Like This" if you're laughing at the fact i borrowed my girlfriends car to go to the hospital uninsured at 3am after work and didn't tell her, and then wasn't there when she woke up in the morning, but the nice nurses had left several voicemails on her mobile!

Length, about a month before she let me do naughties on her again.
