So, After the Accident

MFS62 Jan 27 2011 06:28 AM

I was taken to the hospital. Like a schmuck, I went to work yesterday. Coming home, my car skidded off the road and I ended up hanging upside down in my seat belt. A Policeman extracted me, called an ambulance, and I was taken to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco. That's where I am now, waiting for my wife to come pick me up. My car was taken to some place in Westchester, waiting for an insurance adjustor to take a look. Didn't look too good. Check in later.

Yikes! Glad you're not seriously hurt!

Fuck , you're one tough bollox that's for sure..... very happy to see you are doing OK and able to check in.

Ceetar Jan 27 2011 06:54 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Glad you're okay. After fighting with the unplowed lot and breaking my car and seeing some of the local roads, I'd suggest others take this to heart and try not to drive today..

That's scary! Glad you are OK. I don't like driving in the snow. Out here, the drivers are pretty good at it -- we get a lot of experience. But I'm never comfortable doing it.

Yikes. Hope you're OK (and don't worry about your car).

TransMonk Jan 27 2011 07:56 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Wow. Just, wow! Hope all is well.

Posting from the hospital, that's hard core! Glad you were buckled up.

Glad you're ok!

Still waiting as of 11 AM. As for the seatbelt, my avatar is Brian Cole, who died when thrown from his car. He was not wearing seatbelts at the time of his accident. It is something I've never forgotten. Thanks for the best wishes. Later

Welcome to American emergency medicine! Are you new here? Seriously, though... Jebus. Am exceedingly glad you're whole and hale.

I drove yesterday and I was terrible. Nothing but random chance kept me from ending up like you, except I'd be covered in blistering soup. Recover quickly, but take it easy. It takes a bit for the system shock to wear off.

Glad you are OK!

As I was working my way through this thread, I was going to write about what a hard core forum member he was for posting from the hospital. But you beat me to it. So I won't write that. Get well, MFS62.

Sorry it happened, but very glad to hear you're OK.

G-Fafif Jan 27 2011 10:08 AM Re: So, After the Accident

So glad we'll be able to keep hearing from you... Later

Valadius Jan 27 2011 10:11 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Geez, glad to hear you're more or less all right.

Lefty Specialist Jan 27 2011 11:10 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Dude! Did you have any snappy one-liners for the cop when he found you? Seriously, glad you're OK.

Centerfield Jan 27 2011 11:32 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Wow, glad to hear you're ok. Get well soon. Slip the doctor a few bucks to recommend that you spend the next few days lying in bed getting waited on hand and foot.

seawolf17 Jan 27 2011 11:44 AM Re: So, After the Accident

Holy hell, dude. Thrilled to hear that you're okay!

MFS62 Jan 27 2011 12:19 PM Re: So, After the Accident

Dude! Did you have any snappy one-liners for the cop when he found you? Back home. Its about 2:15 local time. No, not for the cop. He asked how I was. I said "OK, I think". He said "I'm calling the EMT". (Guess I didn't look OK to him.) But when the EMT came, he asked me "Are you OK?", and I asked him "Isn't that what you're supposed to tell me?". Not snappy, but the best I could do under the circumstances. Later

Stay safe and warm now

Edgy DC Jan 28 2011 07:23 AM Re: So, After the Accident

I think that will remain forever in dispute.

Jeez. Be careful out there, kids.
