The dangers of parked cars...

last night, at about 4 o'clock in the morning my friend 'fell asleep whilst running whilst drunk' and ended up in a&e having collided with a car(parked). i was due to have coffee with said person and got a text saying 'can we make it an hour later. I've got a good excuse i promise'. So an hour later i went round and this person, lets call him 't-ed' was in his tracksuit showing me his chin scar with 5 stitches. A WHOLE 5. so we eventually went for lunch, via the road with the aggressive car on to see if the lens of his glasses was there...he had wondered if he had in some way brain damaged himself when he put them on and one whole half of his world was blurred. no such luck, the lens wasn't there..it turns out it could have come out whilst CYCLING TO THE HOSPITAL. that's right folks. it could have come out when he fell off his bike having decided that cycling to the hospital was an a-ok plan.
We also went via my house which is subsequently and usefully about 3 minutes away from his, to administer- paracetamol, ibuprofen and antiseptic wipes for the war wounds on elbow and hip. Is it wrong to take a tiny bit of pleasure in the wails of a grown man as the alcohol stings? anyway, having dressed the man-scrape we went on our way. I was also very proud to be able to explain the mechanism of the lidocaine, of which 6 injections he had so bravely 'taken on the chin'...
I've shotgunned stitch removal on Friday!!! woooooooo!



In other news, watching medical drama does actually aid learning at medical school-
I had my progress test yesterday, the second of the year, and one of the questions was usefully answered for me the night before by Carter and Ross who were discussing a crazy lady wandering around who hadn't taken her LITHIUM. SCORE!!!!


Totally justifies my dedication to the series....that's right people....for the LEARNING.......
