Last night I slipped in the gym shower and fell badly. As soon as managed to stand up I knew my shoulder was dislocated and my hip or leg was possibly broken. A member of staff phoned for the ambulance. I've just got back after nearly 12 hours in the A&E dept;. The thing is my hip hurts like hell, though the doctors who examined my x-ray insist it's just painful due to swelling. After id had my shoulder fixed while under sedation a nurse told me to make my way to the exit doors and more or less frind my own way home. I told him that I could hardly walk on it,but he insisted I tried. After about 1 minute or trying to walk my hip or leg gave way. The last time I felt pain like that was when I broke my hip them my leg 3 years ago. After refusing to try anymore they got a bit stroppy and kind of insisted I was making it up. They then re-examined my x-rays and told me there were no breaks. Again they insisted I walk on it. Again I was hit by excrutiating pain. To make matters worse after i'd used a wheelchair as a zimmer frame to make my way to the taxi rank, the taxi driver refused to even put my gym bag in the car let alone help me! I had to struggle while he sat their moaning about me holding him up. Then the git took a pound out of my change saying he wanted a tip for waiting. I'm in pain now and can't put more than say 40% weight on it. I don't know what to do. I certainly do not want to go back to Blackburn A&E department!
