i got run over this morning, i had a row with my mom and i am not saying, what it was about.?

Question

the car was only going 10 - 20mph, the soles on my trainers came away and i slipped and lost by balance, the car didn't barely touch me, lucky enough the lady saw me otherwise i could of been killed. i only have minor injuries, my hip and back hurts like hell, the leg has scraps and grazes all the way down it, so does my arm, i've been feeling drowsey all day as well. i cleaned most of the blood from the wound's myself, i've my folks what happened and their not bothered. if i have to go to casualty, how do i get there, cos i am not gonna call an ambulance. my parents are to be completly whipped out of my life, i will never do anything for them again after this, they can root in hell as far as i am concerned. if a young boy racers had of hit me, i would now be dead. has anyone else been knocked over or run down.

people keep saying, go to the local hospital, but my ankle is to bad for that. i can't ask a neighbour cos they will ask questions, like why not ask for parents to take you. my parents have said i am to find my own way. i did have concussion this afternoon, but i took a few painkillers and i think i've slept it off and i have just eaten.

the lady didn't call for help. she just drove on by, cos the car behind her was beeping at her. it wasn't a bad accident, just that the crossing outside my front door is very dodgy and people do ignore you when you wanna cross the road, so sometimes i do take chances and just cross, without waiting.

i do not have any phone numbers, name and insurance details of the lady, i was concuse, after i was hit, so i just walked home and she drove off.

i didn't hit my head, i don't have any head wounds, i do have a 12 inch gash on my leg though, but i've clean that up and it's bandaged. i don't have a witness, i am 28 and how do you know when you're concussed. i feel on my side and not my head, hence the small flesh wound on hip. i am gonna go and she the nurse in the morning, i don't have internal injures, i can tell.

Answer 1

you're so full of it. i'm not sure what a feck is, but i think the first guy has the right idea.

Answer 2

The question is how old are you and do your parents have medical insurance for you. The lady that hit you should have talked with your parents and made a police report because her insurance should pay for your hospital exam if you would have to go. You should have your Dr. check you first and he could give you a prescription for an x-ray if he thinks you need one. It would be very wise for you to go and get an x-ray to make sure you don't have any fractures. If you just go to the Emergency room it will cost quite a lot more money unless you have good insurance. Talk to your parents and tell them that if they don't want to help you and you are in such pain that you will call a policeman and talk to him and ask him what he thinks about the accident. I'm sure if they are being negligent that will get their attention! You could have internal injuries and not know it for hours Good Luck. I hope you have the name and phone no and liscense plate number of the lady that hit you.

Answer 3

1] did you actually hit your head? Are there any scrapes or bruises on your head? Did you lose consciousness?Any symptoms besides drowsiness ? [ blurred vision, severe headache, nausea, iritability, confusion ]
2] do you have a witness? Did anyone get the license plate?
It is illegal to leave the scene of an accident involving ANY injury, whether she was at fault or not.
3] you cannot sleep off a concussion, nor can you be cured of it with pain relievers. You MUST see a doctor.
4] get a friend or parent of a friend to take you, if parents refuse. How old are you? They have to provide medical care if you are under 18.
5] if you feel well enough, shower with lots of soap and water on all those scrapes, and scrub all the grit etc. out. I have seen nasty infections from scrapes on roads, parking lots, etc.

Answer 4

You should call a cab and go to your local A&E. You could have done some damage to your hip or back which is why it is hurting. If you can move about okay it's not likely to be serious, but you should get it checked out anyway. If you are feeling drowsy you mught be concussed, and your wounds should be cleaned up properly.

I'm sorry your family don't seem to care, any responsible parent would have taken you to the hospital themselves straight away.

Answer 5

i just hope your OK hunni you should have reported the car for not stopping but i suppose that's the last thing u think of at that time just make sure you see your doctor and get the help and support you need /try a hot water bottle or flannel on your back take some aspirin and just rest well and if you want to go to hospital get a taxi and forward the bill to your parents house x

Answer 6

A lot of local hospitals have a day clinic where you can check yourself in; we have a day centre but the local hospitals may have an emergency clinic. Or you could arrange to see the nurse at the doctors tomorrow. It must have been a shock and I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

You probably have concussion and you need x-rays incase you have broken anything. You should not delay, but get to the hospital any way you can. Ask a neighbor to take you. Sorry about your family... truly.

Answer 8

Ask your parents if they will take you to the hospital.

You could ask the parents of a friend to take you.

If your over 16 you can visit your GP on your own.

Phone NHS DIRECT on 0845 46 47...they will give you advice.

Good luck
A.D.
