War Wounds

Not read the whole thread but it looks like you are in a makeshift medic tent ala platoon.

Ah rugby, a game where you chase an odd shaped ball round, hoping you might get to put your arms round another man at groin height. And if your really lucky, you might get a scrum and get to put your head between other mens legs.


Mans game indeed. ;)

Hmmm, I have to wonder about people who see a sexual element in things like this.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much? ;)

Back on topic, that looks like it's going to sting when you get in the bath dude - lots! :D Just goes to prove the old saying, doesn't it? "Football is a gentlemen's game played by ruffians, Rugby is a ruffians' game played by gentlemen."

You ruffian you. :p
 
I thought I'd just re-open an extremely old thread just to post for bragging rights to my newly acquired war wounds because I'm quite proud of them:

I was happily donating my hard-earned platelets yesterday at the blood donor unit. I always get low blood pressure warnings, so they put a warm cuff around my arm and gave me my stress ball to squeeze. About 5 minutes from the end, I looked up from my magazine to find a golfball-sized lump on my arm. I called the nurse over and said "this isn't right is it?". She said "Christ, NO!" and called someone over to stop the donation (still managed a nice-sized double though). I had to press on it really had after they removed the needle to disperse the blood (bleugggggggh), and all was fine until I took the plaster off last night and saw this :eek:

Basically, I'd squeezed a bit hard and the blood had started leaking out of the needle and into the surrounding tissue. Oops!

I went to work this morning in short sleeves because I didn't want to put any more pressure on the site than necessary. After a couple of hours of people looking at me like I was a junkie, I went to the medical removed and asked them to cover it up. I was expecting a nice, subtle, flesh-toned plaster. What did I get? A great huge piece of white lint on my arm. It looked super mega cool, and loads of people kept stopping me and asking about it... but then I had to go to a rather important job interview wearing it this afternoon. It was an ice-breaker at any rate :)
 
If you were in the premiership etc you'd be on the floor screaming till you got carried off. Looks fairly nasty though I must admit, kudos for carrying on and winning.

Meh, I knew thread economising was a bad idea!

Nah, it was my fault. If people are put off by a teeeny bruise, they're too wimpy to give blood anyway. If anything, it should encourage people. You can't get war wounds like this anywhere you know!!

BE A MAN... GIVE BLOOD :cool:
