his accident was 2 weeks ago come Monday, been to A&E and six times so far to local Surgery.
Now they say the wound is infected so he is seeing a specialist Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week, that'll sort him out, hopefully.

Was the 5' 10" after the tile hit him on the head?
// For the record,
Baldric is a 5' 10" Former Royal Marine.//

and who got flattened by a small piece of roofing tile........needing the medical attention of specialist nurses, a visit to A&E, six visits to the GP and now an appointment with a 'Specialist'.
//and who got flattened by a small piece of roofing tile.//

He's not only an ex-marine, he's an OAP, which is more to the point here.
No antibiotics for the infection? That's the usual treatment along with dressing the wound
// ael. originally he asked me not to post it.//
I can see why
helpful lot arent they?

usual principles - where is the wound? - keep it cleaned and decide whether you / he wants it open or closed.

as you know it wont heal whilst infected - so you are just gonna have to keep it clean whilst it heals up ( by granulation - is that post-primary ? it is all so long ago). If you can get it clean you may be able to get it sutured ( or not)

if it ( this tmt plan ) sounds all the way from the nineteenth century - it is

yeah and I look at fallen roof tiles and think - blimey if that hit someone it cd do some damage !

Antibiotics from the Hospital, run out today, a new different course starting on Monday.
I think the specialist is a rock specialist, they now think that the fragment that dropped on his head was due to the spacecraft that landed on the asteroid, not a roof tile.
Hope the infection starts to clear soon.
//He's not only an ex-marine, he's an OAP, which is more to the point here.//

no its not
I feel the same as APG. Someone has a serious problem and that's sad. Hopefully that someone will get some help.
// #a visit to A&E, six visits to the GP and now an appointment with a 'Specialist'.//

well it is lucky he didnt do it in the Falklands or else he wd have been treated by my frenz, Jolly, Addley, Jackson and Shuler

( some now deceased )

Red and Green Life Machine by RIck Jolly isnt a bad read
hold on
we are just talking about - he has smacked his bonce on a doo dah arent we? it wouldnt suprrise me if he just went on drinking his schnapps
Apc yes, I should stop teasing as it's not fair, but neither is enabling either :-)
Question Author
APG, where did it say it was a "small" piece of tile?
Question Author
And to people who say I should be doing this, that or the other to the wound, it is being redressed every 2 or 3 days by people who are insured to do so, it is no longer my job and Iam not insured.
I'm not a medical professional in any sense but am still able to dress the weeping ulcers on my aged relative's legs, oversee his medication and treat the everyday bumps, bruises and scrapes he manages to accumulate.
I only read these threads for APG's hilarious posts and I'm never disappointed. Thanks APG ..
quite right
the GMC gets very poncey indeed if you practise wivvart insurance

and anyway counts as a member of the family

[o god one of my colleagues was dobbed into the GMC for treating his daughter (infected caesareian) and we thought it was the GP practice]
hur hur hur
give him this to read and he will have another head ache
a good 'feeding time at the zoo' thread does tend to lighten a damp sat afternoon
