Another shortish ride yesterday with Keith, HYG and Chi Lye (sp?) around Churchill and Lysterfield Parks. No crashes or falls, no chucks, just a few steep hills and Chi Lye showing us his big steel balls at the rock garden.
Nice ride. Looking forward to Keith finding some trails for us at Donna Buang.
What a terrible result for the Aussies on Stage 8. O’Grady and Rogers both withdrew after sustaining injuries in separate crashes, while McEwen was outside the time limit. Meanwhile…
Came to work today and the first case was a shocker.
18 year old passenger in a car that crashed into a tree. The passenger was drunk. Not sure about the driver – maybe I’m just assuming that he was drunk.
Regardless, he had, what we call, a ‘degloving’ injury to his right foot. It’s exactly what you imagine it to be. The skin from the ankle down had been stripped off like a sock. Remember Terminator 2 where Arnie took off the skin from his forearm? Similar to that. The skin which was stripped off was the whole sole and still had his big and little toes attached. It was found in his shoe which was in the car.
Took some photos of his foot with the skin beside it. Decided against posting it!!!
We performed a below knee amputation on him this morning. A tragedy in an 18 year old!
Moral: we have to be very careful before being a passenger in a car, especially after a night out!
Belated but worthwhile!
H. birthday!
Those of you in London, let him know that this post exists.
Barely worthy of a YPR but Keith, HYG and I had a couple of laps around Ruffey Lake Park this morning. Conditions were very slippery with the constant rain making the ground very soft and grass easily torn up.
