Injuries

Mrs. Neck came in for a routine follow-up today, hobbling with her left foot in a cast.


Dr. Grumpy: "Good heavens! What happened?"

Mrs. Neck: "I broke my foot."

Dr. Grumpy: "I'm sorry. How did it happen?"

Mrs. Neck: "I was unpacking after our trip, and dropped the first aid kit on it."

    Oh, it was a stupid accident ?

    You ever drop a knife while barefoot --seems like your feet just naturally jump out of the way of the point????, time for some study to be conducted as to why that is.

    @CrownedwithVictory - Maybe she has one like mine. My big first aid kit, which goes camping & to music gigs out of town with us, is in a tool kit and does hurt your foot if it lands directly on it. Although it has never broken someone's foot.

    i think that's not the point, the point is that the "first aid" kit was supposed to aid, not to injure, it's ironic, in case you haven't noticed...

    Oh I get that! It's just that most people have first aid kits that are petite or small and would barely even sting or be noticed if it fell on them.

    yes, I have never seen a travel size first aid kit bigger than the kindergarten pencil box type. My own first aid kit is just a bottle of Germ-x. Nothing screams "emergency" to me more than my children touching things in Walmart. :)

    LOL! I'm with you there!! I keep small bottles of such things in my purse! Either the flip top ones or the spray ones I can pick up at my local pharmacies (Walgreens was the first one to carry such around here).

    A friend of mine broke their little toe by dropping the store accident book on their foot.

    I broke mine with a can of tomato puree. Not anywhere near as exotic. But I didn't notice it until I was hiking up pyramids in Chichen Itza, so I think I get points.

    Hubby: It's not broken. You're just being overly dramatic.

    Me: More margaritas and maybe I'll get up the next one.

    Podiatrist: (Laughs hysterically)
