Quick! Call an ambulance!
Sweary Junior was staying at his grandparents last night. The missus rang them before to see how they were and say she'll be around shortly.

Apparently SJ is at death's door and has a doctor's appointment later today. He's got this hole in his ear which has been bleeding all night so he needs urgent medical attention for it.

It's a spot. That he's picked until it bled. But try telling them that.

*Facepalms*

let's just hope this isn't one of those times where you say 'nothing is wrong' but it's actually his brain leaking

Seriously
They always make a mountain out of a molehill, medically. They once took him to A&E because he had a sore leg.

I bet it's cause you kicked him down the stairs.

I found quite a bit of blood on my pillow once and thought it might be a spot.
But at the time I didn't have any spots. Kind of freaked me out at the time.


Woooooooooooo!

This happened to me once.
Then I realised it's cause I drunkenly shaved my legs the night before and gave myself a massive fucking cut.

Really
this sort of NHS time-wasting spakwittery should be punishable with a fine at least.

I can't believe you are trivialising his heamorrhage in this way

And, conversely, the NHS is trivialising POTENTIALLY FATAL OVERDOSES.
When Catface picked up his prescription they'd mistakenly given him meds that were twice as strong as usual. That stuff is toxic - fatally so - at too high a dose. I took it back for him today cos he's at work. The pharmacist showed me the original prescription and said "See! Three tablets daily." I said "aye, but at half the strength you gave him". The pharmacist merely did an eyeroll and a weary sigh and swapped the medication.

I should just have stuck a penny in Catface's throat and thrown him out the window.

you should have got in there with a grapefruit spoon and sawn her eye out of its socket
