An afternoon in A&E..check your steps

[Graham]

Just spent a few hours in A&E:nurse: Bottom of combi ladders collapsed, I'm stood on top with long-reach hedgetrimmer and the next thing I know I hit the Tarmac head first.

 

Anyway...bit of dizziness and no recall of how I drove to the job! The surprising fact is that when the Doctor was talking about a CT scan he told me that out of 1 million scans there is a possibility that 30k tumours may result from them.

 

Check your ladders.

oo dont sound good. hope your ok. fell over day but only about 5 foot to grass still hurt tho

[Stephen Blair]

Yikes!! i have replaced the silly alloy hooks with steel ones and bolted from with in the frame. The thought of that happening isnt cool, get well soon buddy:thumbup1:

[Husqvarna King]

so the CT scans cause tumours or just reveal those that are already there that we dont already know about? Scary as I have had several of those CT and PET CT scans in the last few months:thumbdown:

 

Hope you're feeling better soon fella

I HATE LADDERS! had far too many hairy momments on them and with them - not to mention when some idiot ran up cut the branch they where leaning on , the branch srpung up ladder fell - he jumped and landed on my head, and he was fat!

Cheers.

 

Doc reckons the scans use a serious amount of radiation and don't use them willy nilly. Don't want to scaremonger tho as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
