20 stitches !!! Nice story.
20 stitches !!! Nice story.Outcome ?
Partner tripped on steps this morning , and took it on the noggin ... ambo or local hospital? Cleaned up the mess and drove her; was seen to before I could find a park. But follow up needed, so to RPA, and dropped her off at ED. Quick trip home, on return she'd been assessed, had ecg, assessed no concussion, doped up, had 20 stitches, patched and paperwork done. Two hospitals, three hours total.
Outcome ?

Nice positive outcome, unfortunate about the stitches though.Outcome ?

My positive reaction to medical staff being attacked is "No treatment, bugga orf"Yes , good outcome. Others have not been so lucky ?? at hospitals.
Those who attack ambos and other medical staff suck.
But that's being negative.
Yeah , I was quoted well over a grand and the dentist was not that confident of success either . Root canal work is a bit of a big deal for your average , suburban dentist . Without a guarantee and not being young anymore , I too, chose the big yank-out.1 visit to dentist instead of at least 3 for the alternative root canal therapy and probably only 25% of the cost

Losing just one molar is a bit of a nuisance but there's worse , I'm sure.
Look after them choppers , kids . Floss and brush ( gently, so as not to do long term damage to your gums ) after every meal. Every 2 years get 'em cleaned , too! It costs money but I for one ,am so glad I did it right all my life. ( Thanks mum )
What? It's literally a shot of lignocaine and rip the feckin thing out with pliers!It cost me a grand to get a tooth pulled.
Yes exactly. All over in 5 minutes. Local anaesthetic. A rip-off. Orange NSW.What? It's literally a shot of lignocaine and rip the feckin thing out with pliers!
I recently had a partially erupted wisdom tooth pulled that had disintegrated into about 5 pieces. I didn't want to go under a general so it was all a bit agricultural, but it was less than $300.

Comparison... Keratoma surgery on a horse's hoof (which bears many similarities to a human tooth). Surgeon, anaesthetist, two vet nurses, me (and I have to craft a special aluminium shoe), aftercare etc, is only about 2k or a bit over.Yes exactly. All over in 5 minutes. Local anaesthetic.

A few years ago I had a triple root canal done.What? It's literally a shot of lignocaine and rip the feckin thing out with pliers!

I'm envious. Looking forward to going back there sometime soon. Enjoy it ?Holidays for 3 weeks.
Baguettes and bier to come while riding bicycles along the Moselle River.
Tarte flambe and bier is arguably better, unless you are going to the wurst end of said river.Baguettes and bier
Warsaw athlete entered pole vault, and stole 10,000 zlotys.Australian female pole vaulter won gold at the world champs last night. The US world champ and olympic medalist agreed to share the gold with her as they'd both cleared the same height and didn't want to go to a jump off. Good vibes.
By crickey those two female pole vaulters made me feel dizzy at the heights they achieved. No way would I put they faith into that bendy pole and go up and over the bar feet first.Australian female pole vaulter won gold at the world champs last night.
