Come on, be fair - it's not always possible to find something from Today's news to get incensed by.  🤷‍♂️

Should the hospitals hand out clothes?

I feel sorry for this guy, but would just be glad to have made it out the crash alive

Anthony Burns was given a towel and a hospital gown and told to leave Raigmore.

 

 

 

 

I like the picture and caption, yes I think it will be written off

Looking at that crash I would be surprised if my underpants where still in a state in which I could wear them...

No, they shouldn't hand out clothes, but maybe they shouldn't be so free and easy with the scissors! I think the idea is that if they need to get a body undressed in A&E they just cut the clothes off with hardcore scissors,  rather than undressing. In the name of expediency and minimal movement, in case of spinal injuries. Which is fair enough.

 

Speaking from bitter personal experience, it is quite annoying. I lost a good jacket and pair of jeans that way, and got sent home in scantily arse covering hospital pyjamas. I vaguely remember that they even cut a necklace off as well.  Only myself to blame as I was rushed in there after an episode of youthful over indulgence!

I told them their wee scissors wouldn't cut through the layers of ballistic in my trousers and to take them off. I almost cried when the scissors cut them no bother 😉

I’m surprised you even replied 42 seeing as that article wasn’t hot off the press that day 🤔.

I feel your pain. I wasn't aware of it when my clothes were being cut asunder, that was a small blessing at least.

 

Trauma Shears are what they use I think.

I had a set of Alpine Stars leathers cut off me and I could not give a fcuk . If the speed of which they were able to determine my injury's preventing me becoming a total raspberry was helped by that all well and good .

When we were late teens I went with my mate to an army surplus store in Edinburgh, big event but had to be done because no internet shopping or shops like that locally.

He got a pair of urban combats and was well chuffed with them. Next night we were mucking about and he ended up with a broken ankle. I couldn't believe when I saw him after he was on crutches with a cast on his foot and shin on top of the combats. He wouldn't let them cut the trousers so ended up cast still wearing them. Going to Edinburgh was a big thing back then!
