"Why are blokes wussy about going to hospital?"

C'mon people - give me a clue.

Boss - hurt his heel several weeks ago and hasn't stopped complaining to me since. Came in this morning limping badly as he played golf last night "only eleven holes". Ouch, ouch, moan, moan. "Can you fetch that file for me please, as I can barely walk?". So I ask him what the doctor / hospital have said and get told "I haven't been, I don't need to go".

Husband - fell out of shower (drunk) on Saturday. I gets home late evening to cries of "I've broke my ribs". Sunday morning I offered to take him to the hospital "no, it's all right, I don't need to go". So while he can still manage to go to work and the pub, where I am not present, this morning I got "I can't get the dog in the car - you'll have to do it".

Do you get the usual blue bruising if you break any ribs? cos I don't believe him.

So while I have not sympathy for either of them I've still turned into a ruddy nursemaid.

So why are blokes such wussies about it.

Anyone here bottled the hospital and can explain it to me?

No, that's weird...

I'm doing both at the same time, you know.

apart from the two times I had to go to hospital for stitches, I've never had to go. I don't 'wuss' out when I hurt myself, I just don't fancy sitting in a waiting room for 3 hours with coffin dodgers coughing their guts out all around me and the like

I have never been to hospital, i dont do enough stuff to break or hurt anythin, but if i did, i really wouldnt look forward to it...

Watching one screen is fine, but watching another is weird? Whatever you say, kids.

*cuckoo noise*

The bit about falling off the bottom rung of a stepladder made me laugh though.

They know me very well a tthe hospital, because I'm in the emergency room so often, I even have a special number I can dial so that they'll send an ambulance straight to my house, or wherever I am, depending if I'm at home or not.

Hospitals rule.

They get me out of school.
Which Rules.

I hate hospitals.

They smell.

Yeah I'm sure that all those people who are posting from work would prefer to watch the tennis but I think that their bosses may object.

Our tv in the kitchen is set for Wimbledon.
I can't wait to see Henman win this year! He's so...oh, he's out.
Rusedski! he's...oh, he's out.

Ah balls, I'm going to watch the lady's games instead....nnngggggnnnnn

Amen to that, plus I only get a TV licence at work for the world cup.
