Would you go to hospital for a suspected broken toe?
So, I just smashed my little toe into the corner of a side unit. I was moving quickly and the toe caught and was forced to the side.
I’m no stranger to stubbing my toes, but a liberal dose of extreme obscenities and cursing the inanimate object didn’t provide the immediate relief it usually does. It was extremely painful. An hour later and it is starting to swell and it is painful to walk.
My wife is going on at me to go, but I honestly can’t be f*cked to go and hangout with the drinkers and druggies in the local A&E for several hours and I’m pretty sure there is very little they’ll do for a little toe that other than pain relief and potentially strap it up.
What would you do?
