How ****e was your night? I bet mine was worse...

[gaz]

So I finished work tonight around midnight and got a lift home from one of the barmaids I wrok with, a girl called Sarah. We were driving back when we see an unconscious man in an England football shirt in the road. Sarah stopped the car and I went over to find this bloke had blood literally pissing out of his head and eyebrow. I called an ambulance from my mobile phone and got one sent.

All the time the dispatcher is giving me advice on what to do including trying to stem the flow of blood, I didn't have anything to use so I ended up taking off my shirt, so now, I'm trying to turn the guy on his side so he doesn't choke on his vomit while holding my shirt to his head while holding my phone to my ear, and now I get to do all of this topless.

The police turned up after about five minutes and they start firing questions at me while we're all trying to help the poor bastard. At this point he wakes up and is talking complete crap, I honestly couldn't tell if he was drunk, concussed or both. After another five minutes the ambulance turns up and they start doing their stuff, then the guy really wakes up and takes a swing at one of the medics shouting "You're hurting me!!", everyone backs up and the medics checked with him if he wanted treatment, he said no and staggered off down the road clutching my shirt while still bleeding. The three policemen, two medics, myself, Sarah and a small crowd watching just stared at each other in amazement.

I first thought the bloke had been hit by a car but after a few minutes a witness came forward to say the guy had been attacked. Personally I'll be amazed if he lives through the night with the amount of blood he'd lost (And probably still is losing).

This literally all happened within the last fifty minutes and I'm actually still shaking a bit, I don't know if it's the shock of it all or the fact I was cold without a shirt on.

The only thing I can say is that the emergency services (Police, paramedics and radio despatchers) deserve your thanks every single day for the crap they put up with.

That's pretty crazy, you did the right thing man.

[He219]

There's only so much you can do, gaz. You did the right thing.

[Hot Lips]

(((gaz))) It was cool that you stopped to help too.

[Deuterium]

And the 64,000 dollar question????????

[Trigger]

Nice goin' gaz.

My only question is: where does this chapter belong in the 'Pirates Code of Ethics'? :D

[FallenAngel]

Argh....Gaz stuck to the Code like a true scally-wag. p-)

[memphiz]

Wow...thats pretty amazing, you did the right thing man.

[molly747]

I'm guessing you didn't get your shirt back.

[Ratamacue]

That definitely is a sucky situation. At least you didn't just leave the guy upon seeing him, there are plenty of people who would've left him.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

I'm guessing you didn't get your shirt back.

Bloodstains+clothes= bad problem. Especially if the shirts white, and especially that its a stranger (you never know were the hell they have been...).

All in all good show gaz, sometimes people need to learn from there own stupid actions.

[Hot Lips]

(you never know were the hell they have been)

This is true. And that sounded like a lot of blood to be dealing with hands on.

Gaz, did you or the cops at least get the guy name?

[Vance]

Hot Lips your avatar reminds me of an octopus.

[Hullebullen]

You did the right thing. As mentioned before, a lot of people would've just left him. Head wounds can often seem worse than they really are since the blood vessels are just below the skin so it they tend to get messy.

[ArmedPacifist]

I would have got my shirt back.

[Vance]

I would have got my shirt back.
Would you like a side of AIDS with that shirt? No extra charge.

[Deuterium]

Jack wanted me to ask if you got laid?

[Nawlins]

Hot Lips your avatar reminds me of an octopus.

A sexy octopus....

[digrar]

Even if the help wasn't appreciated you still get the karma brownie points mate. Goodonya.

[Fintin]

good call....i have a few extra shirts if you want

[usa320]

well i worked from 4-10:30 and that was nicely uneventful and once i got home i tipped a few beers and fooled around with the computer for a little while... now im about to tip one last DOs Equis and then go fool around with the girlfriend for a little while.

So all in all my night seems to be going fairly well.

No thanks you hold onto it for me.

[Fintin]

i jacked myself in the face with my car door...then found out my friend just dumped his girlfriend...im more pissed about the door thing...my tooth hurts

[Merik]

We are proud of ya for doing the right thing though Gaz. As for how my night has been going, not to bad. Made my girlfriend have a orgasm over the phone since she is in another state, but other than that everythings a-ok. p-)

[FallenAngel]

sorry about the tooth...

but if your buddy's ex is hot, go for the rebound ;)

[Herrmannek]

MIne dream was quite good... About Chicks and Public Transport rest is a secreet :)

[gaz]

It's like some of you said, the whole time I was trying to help him the thought was running through my mind "Try not to get his blood on you", and no, I didn't get my shirt back.

I actually felt really sorry for the bloke until he took a swing at the paramedic, after that I instantly stopped giving a ****.

[gaz]

Jack wanted me to ask if you got laid?

You mean with Sarah? Hell no, I've known her since she was thirteen and I was eighteen, it'd be like humping my little sister.

Scalp injuries bleed a lot as it is highly vascularised. But there's a saying amongst A&E docs "a little blood goes a long way". The guy isn't likely to have lost much blood, or bleed for too long before a clot formed.

Good effort though Gaz, putting him in a safe position as he clearly had impaired consciousness was probably the most important thing to do (apart from call the ambulance). He could have easily been sick and aspirated it, which could have been fatal if he was very pissed. I think you'll be glad you did something for him, even though you lost both your shirt and any chance of his thanks!

BTW, Hot Lips, how's the back?

[gregb]

probably deserved his kicking by the sounds of it.

[EvanL]

You did a good thing Gaz. We need more ppl like you in this world.
I once pulled a drunk guy out of the way of a bus and he got up turned around and came at me with a punch. I grabbed his arm and told him not to even ****ing think about it. And i took him to the sidewalk and told him to get out of here.

[California Joe]

Nicely done gazzeriffic.

About the first damned week I was a cop we got an accident call. Bad traffic deal. Woman in small car hits RV. She was bleeding like crazy, half out of the vehicle. Her upper thigh was hammered and I was worried that her femoral artery was cut which would be very bad so I had to sit there getting bled on with my hands inside her thigh applying pressure to stop the flow till the paramedics got there. She ended up making it. I ended up needing a new uniform.

[Trigger]

Chicks dig rookie cops who aren't afraid to get dirty. :D

[California Joe]

Yes, yes they do.

They also dig the single bullet in the pocket.

[gaz]

The police phoned me this afternoon to tell me what happened. It turns out that the man and woman who attacked the guy were arrested late last night. The victim was in hospital and recovering but told the police (And I quote from the inspector who called me) "To go forth and multiply" and that the couple who did the damage were actually friends of his so he wouldn't be pressing charges. The three of them had got too drunk following the England football game, got into an argument and it went from there.

When I come to visit you and your girlfriend aren't going to hit me with a pipe or anything are you?

Too funny......

I reckon you get double karma points for trying to assist a bloody idiot

Hopefully he doesn't heed his own advice and further pollute the gene pool.

No, the pipe is reserved for really annoying people like Midtown and Born to love.

do i get the bike chain or the rubber mallet?

[Hot Lips]

BTW, Hot Lips, how's the back?


Much better. I can move around without a lot of pain, but I still need to be careful when standing up or lifting. Definately taking less pain killers now too.

*smooch*

[ZeroPositive]

man that was intense dunno if I could have done something like that...
those muppets are bound to do something just as dumb later on....
Natural selection down the tube...

[Ichhabe]

...strangest thing happened to me. Woke up at my hotel room somewhere in England. Blood all over the place. My new England team shirt ruined. But the weirdest thing: I was hugging a shirt that was totally unknown to me.
