I've got a GP appointment soon, so maybe there will be.

Vasovagals post voiding are pretty common (still worth seeing GP to rule out other stuff).
Did you finish wiping or did you wake up with dried in shite all around you

I had done 98%
The remaining shit left had not dried.
GP thinks it's due to the back pain but I need an ECG and some blood tests.

Shainted.
How long are you having to wait til they do the ECG and bloods? If you'd gone to A and E they'd have done them and given you the results within a few hours (depending on how apocalyptic local A and E is); seems shit you're essentially getting penalised for doing the right thing and not abusing A and E lol.GP thinks it's due to the back pain but I need an ECG and some blood tests.

ECG is booked for Wednesday.
Blood tests I can just walk in at a local hospital, which I will do in a bit.
Fair enough that's pretty quick.
I had a patient with this exact problem last week. Get the bloods and ECG done, they’ll come back normal and we all carry on with our lives.
I guess that's whoever gets Mahow in the Christmas drawing thing sorted at least.
Decided to get back to playing badminton today after about a 5 year hiatus. Lunged for something in the first ten minutes and think I've broken my foot for fuck's sake
Just got out of A and E. Have indeed broken my foot. 6-8 weeks in a boot and not allowed to drive for that time, so going to be off work. Whoops.
I also broke my foot playing badminton. Was 15/16 at school and they'd just had a brand new sports hall built, so got very anal about what footwear you had on. Told me I had to play barefoot or nothing. Also dived for a shot and my foot crumpled under me on landing. Won the point though.
It was at dinner so walked the rest of the day on it and walked home in pain. Showed my mum it and she said it'll just be bruised. Woke up the next morning to the swelling and showed her. Took me to a walk in and they confirmed it was broken.
Off work because you have a broken foot. What
Broke my foot at school when I was 14 after someone bet me I couldn't jump down a whole flight of stairs. I made it tbf.
Not allowed to drive and live over an hour away from the hospital where I work. No public transport link. Can't get to work.

Well played.
How convenient.
Also, of course badminton is your sport of choice.
Badminton's class.
Is pickleball a thing in the UK, or only over here?
RL are you seriously having 2 months off work with a broken foot?
Can't drive bro.
Maybe the state should provide a chauffeur for him.
Yeah, it's here. It looks shit.
I mean...probably? What can I do? Not like I can work from home as a doctor. There are literally no public transport links where I live and I am not allowed to drive (as in it's specifically stated by the DVLA you are banned from driving until out of the boot).
I will see what they say at fracture clinic tomorrow but unless work want to pay for taxis then yeah.
Squash is superior to Badminton.
They should organise a shuttle bus so that the patients can get to and from your house.
Apparently it was quite a small avulsion fracture and some places seem to say you can stop using a boot sooner than 6 weeks if that's the case, so see what orthopaedics say tomorrow. Obviously I'll go back as soon as I'm able to drive.
I'm interested in all the people saying "are you really..." what you actually expect me to do?
I mean, if you are allowed to stay home doing fuck all, then that is exactly what you should do.
Hire an automatic. You'll only need one foot.
It mainly caters to the 60+ crowd to be fair.
I looked into this and you're only allowed to drive an automatic with a broken foot if it's the left foot (and mine is the right).
Convenient.
I actually like my job, I'd rather be working than bumming around for 6 weeks.
'It's DVLA rules' he says, as the corpses of unattended children are shovelled out of the waiting room in their hundreds. I'd flag down a search and rescue helicopter to give me a lift, if that's what it took.
To think they pay you £26k a year to slack off like this.
I'm on a community job at the moment mate. All I do is nod sagely as people tell me their kids with ADHD only sleep 3 hours a week despite the melatonin, then tell them that yes that sounds very shit but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. See you in 6 months. No I can't sedate them, sorry.
I once got signed off by the railway doctor with a severe hamstring tear and had to attend one session of company funded physio a week, had nearly 2 months off on full pay just absolutely hammering the PS4 for all it was worth
Broken Britain.
Privatise the NHS.
Shite news all around apparently.
For what it’s worth, I’m not sure the inconvenience of a broken foot would be worth it for weeks off work for me. Would be a fucking nightmare not really able to do much but hobble around and slum inside.
Not sure what peak injury to stress/hassle free work exit would be. Maybe broken foot is about the best of the bunch.
I think it is going to be pretty shit to be honest. I live in the middle of nowhere so without being able to drive I'm completely stuck in the house without the assistance of others. There isn't even a shop in walking distance, nonetheless hobbling distance.
This is the age of delivery, embrace it.
He's just pissed off his big boot will keep him out of some poncey restaurants for a month.
Definitely won't
Blood was apparently normal. Got the ECG in a bit and a telephone appointment tomorrow to hopefully get the all clear.
