injury corner
Spare a thought for Software Subversions' Robert (btw, in your absence, rob, your blog server has got very slow and temperamental). After setting off on a epic motorcycling adventure, he very soon found his journey cut short by a large spanish juggernaut and is currently one eye and a limb down.
In a show of solidarity here's a (surreptitiously scanned on the way to hospital) x-ray of the shattered finger I sustained in a far more minor RTA involving a mountain bike and the ground. Two weeks after I'd been told by paramedics that there was nothing wrong with it, I was told by a doctor that it was, and I quote, 'buggered'. Rob quotes everyone's favourite Post-Heideggerian Aussie (who, according to this site, has published 'more than ten monographs' - can he not count above ten, or more likely is the actual number eleven?), Andrew Benjamin : 'Don't trust doctors, they're just crude empiricists'.
Posted by robin at April 2, 2004 12:42 AMhey, how come you're not getting loads of sympathy like Robert did??
Posted by: ruth at April 5, 2004 01:30 PMWow, that does look really painful. Much worse than the scan of my skull, which only revealed a mass of redundant Intel hardware loaded with inoperative Microsoft sourcecode.
Sympathy and other unacceptably human sentiments are duly sent.
