My brother got hit on the head with a golf club when he was 14 – his mate was swinging the club to hit the ball while my brother was trying to get out of the way…………..
There was a knock on the front door and my sister answered it……the next thing we heard was her screaming – we ran to the door and my brother was standing there, hand on his head, with blood pouring down his face – it looked like something out of a horror film.
[he had 3 stitches and was in A&E for 1/2 hour……….wasn’t serious at all !].
I think the thing is, is that the blood makes it look like the injury is actually worse than it is…….especially if you get queezy at the site of blood !
