"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?

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...

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

No, that's weird...

Men have more pride, and are in a position to show that they are members of the human race that are in power. Failure to do so may result in a lack of authority in the future, as a result of presenting their "vulnerable" side to the public and more importantly, those that now him.

No, sorry. :)

When I were a wee nipper I threw a strop the day I awoke and discovered a do not feed for 24 hours sign above by bed.

I wouldn't have minded but I wasn't even in hospital.

Actually I was. They peformed the operation and when I awoke I demanded my breakfast although it was now about 8pm and I still couldn't be fed anyway. To cut a long story short I ended up in a wheelchair for two weeks and took great delight in doing wheelies and the fact I needed a nurse to bath me.

Even though she saw my winky.

My mum fell down the stairs and broke her arm carrying the washing

Poor mum

You jinwed that post. I broke a nail while I was reading it. True story.
