Ouch!
I just fell on a sharp rock outside, and I landed on it with my right wrist. I bandaged it all up, but it still hurts really bad. I can barly move my mouse and I need to type with one hand. I really hope it gets better tommarrow, or if not that then tuesday because tommarrow I need to work, and tuesday is our clan match.
It has already soaked through one bandage, and doesn't show signs of stopping. I'm not having a great time right now.

Nah, doctors have never helped me. Whatever they tell me to do is what I would have done anyways. The only thing they help me with is getting perscriptions for medicine. If medicine didn't require perscriptions I would have never have needed to go to the doctor. (Obviously if I had a broken bone, or something really serious I would go, but it hasn't happened yet)

You people get worried to easily. I got stabbed in an artery in my hand and I didn't go to the doctor, and everything was fine. I broke one of my toes and I didn't go to the doctor, and it healed fine. I cut the top of my thumb off (everything above the fingernail), I didn't see a doctor and it grew back fine.
Doctors charge way too much money for far to little of work.

speaking with some knowlege
I have over twenty years of experience with ortho medicine and industrial accidents, the relative debate over letting it go or getting it looked at depends on two things really.......Does it hurt like hell...and is there any deformity...man, that alone would define any further course of action bro....take care of yourself..

Don't you have insurance? Go to the damned doctor. What if you broke something? If you don't get it fixed right, you'll be deformed for life. Hell, you won't be playing any more of those clan matches if your hand doesn't work. |

That's the stupid logic I hate. My friend who got hit by a car cut his hand in a fight in a bar and didn't go to a doctor with that same logic and now he can barely move 3 of his fingers. Just cause you got off lucky before doesn't mean you'll get off lucky this time. I personally agree that doctors charge too much for too little. But a wound like that, and logic like yours is just begging for you to totally fuck yourself over. |
