ive just broken a nail, should i contact N H S 24 ?

[grumpii]

Apply preasure, hold the affected digit above your head, if in 5 mins you are still worried, get the chocolate out and cry for a bit.

[redcrx]

Crete, i cant believe your wasting time asking on here when you could be using your undamaged nail to dial 999.

[ummmm]

My personal experience of NHS 24....no matter what is wrong they always end up advising you to go to casualty......get a taxi and head straight there....least you have saved someone on the end of the phone 10 mins of their time :-)

Nails are not really that expensive are they? Just reach in the package and use another one. Or try a screw.

[Pippa68]

Tut tut crete..this is serious. Get yourself off to your GP pretty darned quick..why on earth would you expect anyone on AB would be able to give such delicate medical advice???

:o)

[redhead23]

get a local pikey to eat it

Or they could make necklaces, and scare old women into buying "lucky fingernial jewellery" by the way crete if there is no update within 10 min I shall have chewed all mine off.

Smear it with chocolate, stick it up on a stool, and set the cat on it.

[oopsydoopsy]

Gormless - what kind of "STOOL" are we talking please !!!
Crete, was it a 6" nail ? That happened to Jesus soon after Easter too. Remarkable coincidence !!

[funkymoped]

LOL@ummmm.

thanks for the mention ummmm... just got home from work and had a jolly good old laugh at your post !!!
:-)

Crete, I assume it was an accident. Nobody deliberately rips off a perfectly good fingernail.
Check out todays newspaper and get straight onto 'claims for you'. You will be entitiled to compensation..... no win, no fee. Lines are open 24 hours, move, move ,move. Get the dosh!

[johnlambert]

I hope you dont die from it crete but if you do can I have your mobile phone? Iv'e been trying to text one of my girlfriends but my battery is dead and my brother wont lend me his

[ummmm]

Is anyone else concerned about crete....and why she hasn't got back to us. This could be more serious than we thought!!!!!

[crete]

thanks all for your concern, just returned from A E dept only waited 6 hours,my family and friends rallied round and with some intense physiotherapy a full recovery is expected, but it was touch and go for a while.... : )

[johnlambert]

Does this mean I cant have your mobile?
I need to get in touch with this girl, she seemed "clingy" when we went out (well, had a one night stand) and I think she may be worried about me,

[crete]

no john you cannot have my phone, get yourself to Argos. as for the one night stand.. tut tut ,

[ummmm]

6 hours?

They didn't treat it like the emergency it was then?

Bloody NHS...!!!!
