hospitals

[--ToM--]

last night i was kindly attacked by a group of yobs havent slept all night due to the major head ache iv got not to mention the egg on the back of it and a very stiff jaw .

was just thinking is it worth going to the hospital for a check over or am i just wasting mine and thier time? dont want to go and wait round for hours to be told to "go home take paraetamol and rest"

If you start feeling dizzy, blurry eyesight and sickly you may have a concussion. May advice if you have any of the mentioned go to the hospital. Also make sure someone is in the house with you just in case you collapse.

Get well soon.

i did have that last night but now i just seem to have a majorly bad head ache and a super stiff jaw iv tried eating but its not happening

i think ill definately be giving work a miss this afternoon...

Just go get yourself checked out, even if they tell you just to rest and take paracetamol at least you can go home and rest properly (piece of mind), also you can get a sick note for work.

I broke my nose, cheekbone, eye socket, basically my face, went to hospital and went straight to the front of A&E, bare in mind this was a sunday morning, they take head injuries very seriously....

I assume you have reported it to the police (even if they will do feck all about it, its to screw their figures up)

Probably better to call your local GP and get an emergency appointment, they will then tell you to either go home or A&E (perhaps with a letter to skip the queues). Atleast they can give you some stronger pain killers if need be too.

hi,

head injuries are taken seriously and if you have any sort of pain then you should go see them.

I would also tell the police as its not right they should be able to do that to you. If not...get better then turn vigilante!

Get well soon

Sorry to hear mate! Why did they jump you, anything stolen?

Try visiting your local NHS walk in centre if you feel the need IMO.
