 What could possibly have provoked that? You don't seem like the type to pick a fight? Literally a minute around the corner from the hostel, I was gasping for a drink and saw this Coke machine inside a bakery. So I turned round, went to walk inside and went CRASHING through this sheet glass window.
 It was so transparent, you literally couldn't see it.Since you tried to walk through it I'm assuming it went all the way from the ceiling to the floor? I've walked into one of those once but luckily it didn't break. Probably left a big nasty nose mark though, lol. I was totally dazed and confused.
 Next thing I know, this old Greek baker - looking at me like this    - rushes over, takes me out the back and starts squirting some liquid thing (antisceptic?) over my hand.Lucky he didn't get angry because you broke his window. Or maybe he did. Who knows what was in that liquid... 
This is after a group of local kids saw what happened, ran over, burst into laughter and an old woman passing by stopped and started muttering to herself and doing the sign of the cross.
That sounds like a typical scene from an American comedy.
I didn't know what the hell was happening.
I got rushed to casualty in the most hilariously archaic ambulance and had stitches put in. No-one could speak a word of English, except for the doctor and all he kept saying was "Does it hurt? Does it hurt?". The untrained baker gives you antiseptic liquid and the professional doctor flips out and yells "are you hurt?"... It makes me think of Japan where everything was backwards and upside down. | |

The next year, I went on holiay to Turkey and the very first night we got there, my mates said 'No accidents this year!'  I fell off the back of a motorbike on the way to the hotel. | |

it worked That's why I'm never as worried about injuries as I am about diseases; with injuries you simply patch them up the same way you would with other materials - using tape, thread, glue or staples. It's pretty straightforward. | |

this thread creeps me out so much, i can barely even read all the gory injury stories.  i've never had stitches, never broken a bone, never had surgery (that i can remember, anyway). | |

You're lucky you even survived! I know - it takes 4 hours from the moment the spleen is ruptured until you're dead cos of all the pollutions in the spleen... took them 2 hrs 45 mins to get me into the OR so I was fine.  | |
