"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?

Yes.
Which is why whenever we injure ourselves, it's always women that are all "Go to the doctor/hospital".
Dont think I dont know what your game is no-tail.

Your scared that if you go to hospital a female Dr will perform an unessasary operation on you that makes you act more like a woman?

Besides, when we stay in overnight, women surgeons remove our man-gland and replace it with Coldplay whiny pooftah gland so suddenly we like decorating, shopping and hugging.

Bah

*snorts her coffee through her nose*

ouch, don't make me laugh like that again.

So let me get this straight. If I take both my boss and my husband to the hospital only one of them will come out?

I don't like those odds much either but if I have to have one back, well okay.

Hospitals operate under the same principle as Thunderdome in Barter Town. Two men enter one man leaves.

I for one do not like those odds.

We dont like hospitals because they are places of pain and hurt.
There's no big mystery to it.

If they are broken at a tanget they will give you a chest brace or something.

If you need to stay the night in the hospital near my house... you need to sleep next to scum from Hamilton. Who slash each other up and demand Methadone.

My mum always feels sorry for nice people and trys to get them moved... I have avoided this so far.

Don't mind the doctors or hospital, it's the dentist that I hate.

But that's just normal, I refuse to go to the dentist unless the pain is just too much.
