FULL HEADLINE: Bride-to-be who broke her leg in four places when she fell over on her hen do would have LOST the limb if it wasn't for her quick-thinking bridesmaid who 'popped' it straight (despite having NO first aid training)
(EXCERPT)
Lula fell to the floor and rolled around in agony.When she caught sight of her limb it was bent backwards. She said: 'I couldn't get up. I was in so much pain.
'My leg was bent back the wrong way. It was all in the wrong place.
'One of the girls called an ambulance and the on-site medic, but the medic wasn't available and there was a wait for paramedics to reach us.
'As we were waiting for it to show up, Gabrielle decided to push my leg back into place - thinking it might help, although she has no first aid training. It's very lucky that she did.
'I screamed as I felt it pop. She took a picture of my limb and sent it to our mum, Rachel, who is a nurse.
'She said: 'Lula's had a bit of a fall. Do you think her leg is broken?'
'Mum replied within seconds saying: 'Yes, definitely. She needs to see a doctor.''
Despite the accident, because there was no blood, Lula's injury wasn't considered an emergency so she endured a six-hour wait for the ambulance to arrive.
When paramedics eventually turned up they were shocked to see the state she was in.

I am thinking that after 15 to 20 min someone could have driven her to the hospital.
A guy in Florida yesterday was bitten by a shark.
The boat which picked him up was full of operating room nurses. It made a difference too.
UK ? Gabrielle will probably be fined and go to prison for practicing medicine with out a license...
LOL.
But true.
It is strange that they didn’t drive her. Wish someone in the UK could shed more light on why.
Nope.
The ambulance did show up.
Socialized medicine at its finest wouldn't have sent an ambulance at all.
That’s how it’s done in the colonies, but they have to be self-reliant and a little impulsive.
At least that’s how it used to be done in the colonies.

She fell over her hen?
A “hen do” is some kind of wedding shower type of deal. I thought she was on her farm. She was drinking Prosecco, a kind of white wine.
Then she got a September 3rd appointment. . . . . . . Probably
Who would drive her here?
Risk being sued if anything goes wrong for what? Doing the government's job? How dare you show lack of faith in your betters taking care of everything?
You are unmutual!
What’s a hen do?
Is that like hen weigh?
Oh, now I get it. “She fell over on her hen do.” I was figuring that either she tripped over a chicken, or it was a typso, and she tripped on her HEM.
Hen-do is an oriental martial arts form … practitioners learn at least 50 ways to kill you with a chicken.
Guessing it’s what we call a bachelorette party...?
Good point.
Yes.
30 years ago, men had bachelor parties and women had wedding showers, at which the budget-wedding set would do things like make decorations.
