    I hope you feel better soon, Bats

    That sucks that they won't operate on you. Sounds like they have a flawed health care system over there

    Hell, were I in his position, I'd disagree as well. I'm not going to change my opinion, and I'm also not going to derail the thread arguing the point.

    (same goes for you, basso)

    Could there be any long term effects by delaying the surgery?

    Thanks much for all the clutchfan love. I'm flying home Friday morning and going straight to the ER to find out what happens next.

    Best of luck to you Batman. I hope the surgery goes well (as it should).

    My thoughts:
    If they were that short with you, you're better off getting the surgery done over here. If they're that short with you in the ER (i.e. not even wanting to consult with you for surgery), imagine how bad they would have been in the actual operating room. You're better off coming back here, and seeing a doctor of your choice. One of high reputation.


    Questions:
    If you don't mind, I'm wondering what the extent of the fracture is? Was it both your tibia and fibula? Did they call it Bimalleolar or Trimalleolar or either? Any chance they catch the SOB that did this to you, especially now that you're out of the country? What was your hospital experience like (seems to have not been very pleasant)?

    Sorry for sounding like I'm giving you a survey. :p

    Feel free to ignore my questions...that's just my nosy/curious self.


    All in all, I wish you the best of luck. Very sorry to hear this happened to you, and I hope for a quick recovery!

    That sucks and must have been a traumatizing event, especially when you get injured (I was fortunate enough not to get any injuries in my first auto accident).

    F__k. :( I always say "break a leg" for theatrical reference to wish you well for your plays, Mr. Batman Jones, sir... but... I never really meant it literally, sir... I think you know that. GET WELL SOON. :(

    Man thats nuts....I remember reading his thread about amsterdam and was so jealous he was going there.

    I hope our embassy would help you out, like people have pointed out.

    Hope everything works out and you get better....The coffee shops could help ease the pain for a while.

    oh no... so sorry this happened to you. :( Thoughts & prayers that you'll be OK and as comfortable as possible until you can get into surgery.

    Wow, get well soon! Screw Amsterdam. I can't imagine how much and discomfort that would be, especially having to fly internationally with your injuries. My prayers are with you and hpe you recover quickly.
