At A&E

My finger-Christmas 2012

What a way to spend Christmas evening…at the a&e (that’s what they call the emergency room in England).  Why am I here?

 Well Cyndi wanted a food processor.  I got her one.  Themetal blade was in this plastic case tthing.  What a stupid idea I said.  Well, as  was washing it I sliced my finger… quite nicely.  So Cyndi said I should come.

So…here I sit on Christmas eve waiting to be seen.

[Update 2012-12-25 21:53:37] It took about an hour to get seen.  And what did they do?  Put some tape on it and give me a sling.  A sling!  I wanted to ask how I was supposed to drive home.  On one hand, in the states, I would have wanted more for my $100 ER fee.  My first reaction is to say I’m glad I didn’t pay.  Then, I remembered the OUTRAGEOUS amount of income taxes I paid here to provide this “free” healthcare.  I want more for my thousands!  Oh, I also added the picture.  Click it if you want to see it in more detail.
