"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?

Oh yes - falling out of a shower in a drunken stupor and falling off the bottom rung of a stepladder are so manly.

While I will not break a wrist washing up I have broken a nail - does that count?

I suppose she could be right in once snes; If you don't go to hospital you're not a man, as men do things to hurt themselves which means they need to go to hospital. Women? Hardly going to break your wrist washing up now, are you dear?

Apart from when I was born, I've NEVER been in hospital except for visiting other people. That would explain why I'm such a MAN.

Or blow your theory wide open, whichever way is good.

Either that or on the first visit they removed his 'man-gland' so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Probably doesn't work the same way for half-man half-monkeys

I've been to the hospital a few times this year. does that mean I have a "feminine side"?

Ooooh are you feeling broody now then?

Hey, I read that book. It had kids in.

Yes

Then you must have never been to the Doctors/hospital then, you certainly seem to lack a 'feminine side'.
