Getting run over on twitter
I got run over on the morning of 5th July, and wound up on twitter talking about it. There's a piece on my blog about it all as well linked at the end. Here's what happened on twitter.
In smug mode this morning. Treated cyclist who had been knocked from his bike at Hammersmith. #traumamedicI tracked this guy down thanks to a retweet by @boriswatch and thanked him the next morning.
- I was a bit confused
as were my followers, it took me 16 minutes to write the next tweet, I think whilst I sat disorientated in bed in A&E.
- My eyes weren't that blurred I just hadn't noticed my glasses were trashed. My pulse rate was also pretty high!
- I was a bit angry
Yeah, it would've been terrible if you had lost the dancing girls RT @nuttyxander: The good news is my lasses completely survived.Actually, my glasses took one heck of a whack, but are serviceable for now. Thankfully by being made of kevlar only the hinge got affected.
Nothing like a picture to tell a thousand words.
- No, I do feel lucky. It could have been far worse, especially if I'd been thrown into the path of other traffic or into the back of traffic in front of me. A little road rash is the least worst option.
I was really glad to see that there was a thread about me on LGFSS, nothing worse than having a big accident and fearing no-one cares.
