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.

Well played, nully.
Hen party = bachelorette party.
On second thought, maybe the bridesmaids assumed the hospital knew better.
If the bride was calm and cool, the doctors might’ve told them it wasn’t an emergency.
(My 2nd baby would’ve been born at home, if I’d obeyed the doctor on duty that day.)
My father told me when I was little that the group of women going into the house across the street were going to a 'hen party.' So I asked him if a bunch of men getting together was called a 'cock party'.
My mother, listening from behind the screen door, apparently spit her coffee all over us!
This happened in Frome, Somerset a town in England where they have their version of universal healthcare.
“when she fell over on her hen do would have LOST the limb...”
Proof reading comes in handy some times.
Like a bachelor party for British slags.
Mrs Spokeshave told me about an unlicensed animal vet in rural Greece...he set a child's broken leg
Was hauled into court
In his defense he brought in a goat...broke all its legs and asked if anyone in the court could fix it
Reset the legs and the goat walked off
Case dismissed.
*sigh* Sometimes I hate being right.
Best is Kukry...learn it from a Kukry book.
If it don’t bleed it don’t lead.
“Hen-do is an oriental martial arts form … practitioners learn at least 50 ways to kill you with a chicken.”
First, you choke the chicken...
True story, Shirley and I were visiting her sister and a niece and nephew. Her sister was reminiscing about Sunday chicken dinner, how Mom would kill the chicken, then they would help pluck it, etc.
I said my my cousin Kenny, “...and then you choke the chicken”, and we both couldn’t stop laughing. The women had no idea what was so funny.
The chicken gets pretty rough treatment … compared to the monkey, who only gets spanked.
She tripped on a chicken? A third world wedding?
Her husband got her a doctor’s appointment for their first anniversary.
six HOURS for an ambulance? three DAYS for surgery????
