How’s This For Bad Luck

[Bobbisox1]

Daughter and her husband anc their two friends decide to have a weekend in Edinburgh and travel by train, male friend reaches to put something in the bin in the carriage ,something extremely sharp slices through his finger , blood everywhere,he’s type one diabetic and has a hypo, first aid kit on train is well out of date and no good to stem the flow of blood, he goes out cold, someone kindly gets a tin of coke to bring him round , train reaches Waverley where staff had radioed ahead for a wheelchair ,him and his partner are taken by taxi to A&E meanwhile my daughter and son in law look for booked hotel, go into one across from station , same name wrong hotel , theirs was at Haymarket , paid a tenner to get there, hotel is a shizzhole with a view of a car park being built , raining and no seats to book the bar because of tonight’s match….oh dear :0(

Firstly Bednobs my daughter didn’t refuse to use the ‘dry’ pads, she left that up to the rain first alders
Secondly I’ve no idea how Coke fetched him out of his hypo , once again she was not the one to administer it!

^ I did wonder that, out cold but drank some coke. I got a carry a first aid kit in both my motors,if someone was bleeding to death I would use them date in or out.

Thanks Bednobs, you’ve just let my stalker in :0))))

[bednobs]

Ok, it sounds like I was being sarcastic but I really wasn't. You said the kit was out if date and no good for stemming the blood, so I presume not used.
On the coke thing I really am interested genuinely as it would have been helpful if I could have made my husband swallow coke when unconscious and wondered if there was a tip in case we needed it for future. If you don't want to ask her that's fine, I was just wondering

[bednobs]

Prs your stalker was here before me so you can't blame me :)

[teacake44]

Your here again with stalker, its just a puzzle ( not just to me) how someone drinks if out cold.??

[Bobbisox1]

Okay I’ll let you off haha , not sure if Gary was coming round when the first aides gave him the Coke, I didn’t ask my daughter that as I know little about type 1 condition although Mr B is type two

[Bobbisox1]

@ bednobs
Just rang my daughter to see how Gary is now and asked her about the Coke, it seems he was coming round when they gave him it , he’d just done his insulin ba out a half hour before , she thinks that and the shock of his ripped finger might of brought on the hypo ,they’ve bandaged it and he’s back with the others now thankfully

PP My lovely late Mum had type 2 diabetes and was told to always carry sweets around with her in case of a hypo so she got some Werthers. It was MONTHS before we realised she had bought the sugar free kind. She did used to get the odd dizzy spell and if we were out shopping she'd say "ooo i feel dizzy I need a cream cake and coffee."
