Yea i agree 100%...the Consultant who cured me of Cancer just over 7 years ago got a new roof from me once i was back at work,plus he gets a yearly inspection too, I told him "you keep me alive and i will keep your roof alive"

Everybody loves to whinge about the NHS, but they're bloody good when you need them.

Glad your ok, very easy for a simple day to go pete tong! But the big question, did you catch it on video for next Sunday!

With the accompanying soundtrack "You clumsy bastaaad!"

Glad it has healed up well John.

I was lifting a box from a high shelf.
It all came crashing down , I fell backwards .
Once i had regained my feet I had a 2.4 mill tungsten sticking in to my wrist .
It had a good hold and would not come out.

Straight in at A&E
Could not operate as i had eaten.
They kept me in overnight with my arm suspended above me .
I had 3 10ml doses of IV Morphine and still never slept.
They did a nerve block on my arm it was totally numb.
I watched the Surgeon slowly work his way in then pull it out.
I told him that I had tried . He pointed out to me that if i had nicked the artery I would have had 3 minutes
The medical care I recived was amazing

Did the tungsten goes though the bones or over them?

@doubleboost hope you are feeling better.
You were very lucky for it not to of damaged the Medial nerve. Ive spoken to 3 surgeons regarding a piece of bone close to the nerve in my wirst. None will operate it for fear of damaging to the Medial Nerve.
Its not called a "suicide nerve" for nothing
