Taken to hospital by ambulance

Well, today is Friday the 13th. I am not a superstitious person but it would be suitable to talk about a bloody story I have just experienced.

Now it was more than a week ago, I was in a hurry to pick up my son from the school. Intense shower was developing and I thought it was too severe for him to walk home. The staff car park was the opposite side of a large road from my office building in the clinical centre.

Heavy rain made visibility really bad and when I ducked to avoid a sudden gust something hit me at my head hard. I had bumped my head into a sharp edge of a street number sign which stood at the exit of the driveway to the road.

I managed to walk back to the office blooding and asked my colleagues for help. Fortunately one of them was a emergency management staff and professionally organised first aid and ambulance call. So I was taken to hospital by ambulance.

All the ambulance and emergency department staff who attended me were fabulous. A training surgeon stitched the wound under supervision. It was flawless and I was convinced that she would make herself an excellent surgeon in near future.

I got four stitches in the front head which were removed today. Yes, now the injury has completely healed. Not exactly like a Friday the 13th story!
