I'm triggered by the number '60' as it will be my age next year so due to now currently feeling sorry for myself have no sympathy for your single rib. You have a dozen others so man up and keep taking the tablets.
Are they the really strong ones that you can crush up and stick in a rollie? 😀
Get well soon. Bust ribs are like shoulders, worse than childbirth ;-)
Defo worse than childbirth. I would rather squeeze twins out my nanny than endure this!!
Good, sixty us a sore point then. Get some of the strong painkillers, it makes everything go away! 😀😀
I think next year, my tablets will be in a big bottle, and in liquid form!
I think you also just discovered the true difference between public health services and private ones. No one says 'come back next week' in private hospitals here. They say 'get your wallet out and jump in that very expensive CT scanner' You'd have to then make a decision based on the balance between the pain of the broken rib and the pain of losing half your life savings!
Some where down the line, there has to be a compromise.
I see the difference with my mate. He has private health care through his work (partner in a law firm so they pay for everything) He can go with a sneeze and gets the works whereas I get fucking Dr Scribble and the mad giggle who literally looks at me as if I am the Doctor!
