Does anyone on here have any medical knowledge? I went in for an endoscopy yesterday and the doctor inserted the cannula inside my elbow on the arm joint, but missed the vein completely.

Despite me telling various nurses that it was extremely painful and I couldn't straighten my arm, they all agreed that telling me to not straighten my arm was the solution.

So I have the endoscopy wide awake as the fentanyl didn't go into my vein and it's hard to communicate this with a mouth-plate in. It was uncomfortable but not traumatising.

My main issue is, now I've got a massive bruise spreading up and down my arm. And a nasty ass headache which I'm not sure is related. Is this a 'seek medical attention' situation or more of a 'watch and act'?

You can always ring health direct and they will choose caution over comfort and send you the the hospital anyway most of the time. At least you know they are trained but hopefully your already there.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Good luck and if nothing else, we've learned you have courage. I'd be hesitant to take footy advice from BF let alone medical.

Godspeed.

Lucky it wasn't a colonoscopy then.

Bison tonnes up in a t20i

 

[FreoGirl]

That century by Mitch Marsh in a T20 was pure joy

Woke up in the middle of one of them once. Never seen anyone move as fast as that anaesthetist did, almost jumping over the bed to pump me full of more sleep juice. I was out for ages after that

Hah I was awake the entire time with mine, but dosed up on Fentanyl.

Speaking of the potential golden generation from the U19 2024 world cup: Harjas Singh made a triple ton in a Sydney Grade cricket one day game yesterday. 314 off 141.
I skipped through the stream. He went from 207 to 308 off 20 balls. (For you non cricket heads out there the fastest possible 100 is 17 balls).

Can't believe he wasted 3 balls.

Seriously that is incredible.

 

[estibador]

Apparently lost $2k worth of cricket balls hitting them out of the ground too lol.

Brisbane Eagles? Yeah, nah.

Carn the Storm!

 

[freo84]

Brisbane Eagles? Yeah, nah.

Carn the Storm!

On a humorous note, I was discussing the Broncos with a mate who is a rusted on supporter.

I said I can't stand the fact that the local media treat them like Gods while the other Qld teams are barely relevant - like the Perth media with West Coast.

He said "nah, don't see that at all" - I said that's exactly what Eagles fans say about the WA media.

Entitlement runs strong in the Broncos fantasy.

Hence why going for Freo for me was such a culture shock. I wasn't used to not having the media coverage.

Bloody good NRLW GF

fight after the whistle to end it too lol

 

[PrancingPony]

Let's go Storm.

 

[Nothing]

Brisbane Eagles? Yeah, nah.

The Brisbane Eagles or the Melbourne Lions. Not a great choice.

 

[largebus]

The Eagles of the NRL vs the Carlton salary cap cheats on steroids of the NRL. No thanks

 

[BStaff17]

Considering Melbourne cheated my team out of a premiership in 2009 and Brisbane are Brisbane.

The one positive is someone has to lose tonight.

Prefer Melbourne simply the Broncos winning is worse for me and seeing those clowns north of the border break there 19 year drought.


Plus Ezra Mam is a grub who should be in jail and shouldn't be playing in the GF after his incident last year.

Seems like the WA Shield team still don't know how to bat, and will be relying on the bowlers to carry them again.

7/110 after bowling NSW out for 170.
