9:00am - Opened the doors ready for the start of a busy day.
9:01am - 1st costomer comes in and we fit on a couple of tyres.
9:10am - 9:45am - More happy costomers than you could shake a stick at.
10:00am - A Renult Megane comes in for Wheel Allignment.
10:05am - the Renult is on the 4 Poster ramp anf the tracking guages are on... and the guy doing the job gets started.
10:15am - Problem.. one of the 13mm locknuts has stripped, we need to fit a new one
10:25am - After a search we find a suitable replacement and secure it.
10:30am - I am asked to jump up onto the ramp to turn the steering on the car to full lock, to check everything is ok
10:31am - I climb onto one of the tyre racks and hop over onto the top of the ramp.
10:32am - I stand up straight........ straight into the corner of a piece af Angle Iron (one of the garage roof supports)
10:32 and a half am - Blood starts to run down my head, all over my coveralls and onto the floor.
10:35am - With a clean rag or two pressed against my head, and a few of the costomers going (oooooooooh!!) I get a lift to A&E.
10:45am - Arrive at A&E and wait in the queue at the desk.. the receptionist loks at me and asks for my details.. the guy in front me say's "I WAS FIRST"... so he gives the receptionist his details and explains that he had had a filling done the other day, but his tooth needed filing down as it had a sharp edge that was cutting his tongue... i thought "
" 
10:50am - I finally give the receptionist my details, and am told to take a seat (remember.. blood is still pouring down my face)
11:05am - Sitting waiting patiently, with a soaking wet rag beginning top stick to my head, and my right hand sticking to the rag, my name finally gets called and i go to see the nurse.
11:15am - The nurse has cleand up my wound, and assessed the injury and tells me to take a seat to wait to see a Doctor (possible stitches and tetnus jab)
11:30am - waiting.....
12:00 - waiting....
12:30- waiting....
1:00pm - waiting.....
1:30pm - waiting....
2:00pm - waiting
2:15pm - I think to myself.. I'll give it another half hour them I'm out of here
2:45pm - I'm out of there... wasn't wasting another minute in there, people were coming and going, i was left sitting
Now i know people are treated on the severity of their injuries, but.. the guy i spoke about earlier (the one whose tooth was cutting his tongue) was taken before me
and there were people with no visable injury coming in, getting seen, and leaving before me.I don't blame the nursing staff, or the Doctors.. but sometimes our NHS sucks BIG time eh! it's enough to give you a headache.
Anyhoo... i went back to work and finnished my shift at 5:00pm.. drove home without passing out, so i must be ok.. unless i've got tetnus
