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 think the idea that men don’t like going to doctors or hospitals is a fallacy invented by women for some grand ulterior motive that has yet to make itself apparent.

Basically there is nothing worse than spendin a night in hospital, and it smells of urine, disinfectant and death.

I have been a lot of times, had a few operations when I shattered the bone in a finger, I was in 3 days and wasnt allowed to eat or drink for the duration of my stay, argh!.

I think if your feller had broken ribs he would NEED to go to hospital and not be trying to get out of it. Maybe he 'hurt' his ribs and they feel ok now, but he is saying he doesnt need to go to hospital because they would say he was being a wimp and to look tough.
