It could be worse

Posted in: Injury Time

Guy opposite me was thwapped in the back of the head by a bus's wing mirror as he was crossing the road. As he went down his foot was caught up in the vehicle's wheel arch. He lost a couple of toes, has had the others pinned, and most of the top of his foot had a massive skin graft. I managed to catch a snap (with permission) between dressings. Warning: it's ugly.

This is the foot four week's on - can't help wondering what state it would be in if he didn't smoke, and ate anything besides sweets and puddings (i.e. had some protein). Bummer.

Argh!

*gone right off my breakfast*

Poor bastard. But if, in a few years time, there's a serial killer preying on bus drivers, I think we'll know who the number one suspect will be...

Perhaps one of the worst bits about being in hospital - it's full of things that make you feel even worse!
