ER Rescue
Was working on a big assessment for second year university on Halloween and all my friends had gone out to a party since they’re in different faculties and didn’t have much work left for the term.
Anyway at about 10:30pm when I still had about 4 hours of work to get through one of my friends called me and said he needed to be picked up because he fell and hurt his leg.
So there I was at the hospital from 11pm until 2:30am while my friend got his leg x-rayed and checked out. Lucky I took him because it turns out he had broken his fibula in two, popped the sac of fluid under his knee (? I think) and had hyperextended a bunch of tendons and things. Oh and he had a concussion.
Basically because I had lost out on those hours that I should’ve been working on my task I very nearly failed the module that that task was due for.
Guess it would’ve been a better story had I failed a module to help my friend out. Story credit: Reddit / Velocifapper2706
