So Voices got a few more 'firsts' last night.
A broken nose, four stiches, chipped teeth and a mild concussion - on my brother and BabyG (I cant remember his real name for the life of me now!) respectively -- after they crashed into each other.
And all this before the alcohol was induced. For a bunch of university graduates, lesson learnt, no more trying to throw people into the pool.
*****************************************************************************
I'm quite happy i never dove into medicine, i hate the sight of blood. Yesterday i calmly waltzed over to the scene cause i figured they'd both just walk away with bumps on their heads. Then i saw BabyG writhing on the ground and a trail of blood on the beautiful tiled poolside, dripping from the laceration on my brother's broken nose. There's a saying in tamil which goes along the lines of 'hands and legs cannot use' -- yea that was me. I went on worry mode, over drive.
We took Logan to a clinic and they sent us to a hospital straight cause an xray was needed. I shift one gear up on worry mode. We reach ER (which was actually quite slow, but i have to say being a private hospital he was treated much quicker then a government hospital would have) and the nurse cleans up the mess and i erm, take pictures of his swollen nose with my phone. Then we see the doc and he starts shooting all these words -- drastic, hematoma, stitches -- and i shift another gear up worry mode. But all ended well and we trotted back cracking jokes and continued the party.
Here's another reason why he is a true champion. He took all that like well, a true champion, laughing and joking and calming us, the people around him who were freaking out. And his top priority after he came out of the OT was to check on BabyG who was at the clinic. If i had a broken nose and stitches i would have been hunched in a corner crying and wallowing in my sorry fate, inflicting more self pity then required and cursing at my circumstances.
Both patients seem to be recovering well. Though i wonder what happened to the enormous bill that was much hoo-haad about at BabyG's end..
Drama drama..
