Chief S itting Bull all beat up; has jaw wired shut

[dandi]

I think he fell flat on his face drunk!

Before or after the ass whuppin'?

 

[USA4ME]

Redstone

... gained my eighth concussion...

That explains a lot about why his political are so wimpy.

[true_blood]

Let me get this straight. Guy says he faints and falls on his face (not sure if a person passes out falling forward downward but for the sake of argument will accept it),knocks out 5 teeth,breaks his jaw in 6 places and has three broken ribs from it?? What the? 

I know, right?! Did he lean too much off of the second story porch?

[Ree]

Only 3 broken ribs?....frikkin wimp...
Try 9 then ya got somethin to bitch about

[diesel driver]

I had 2 cracked ribs once, didn't know about them until 2 days after it happened, when I helped my dad change a transmission on a combine, and I was having a hard time breathing.

Apparently, I cracked them when I caught the crossbar from my handlebars across the chest during a motorcycle race.

Not much pain, but it was very hard to breathe when laying down.  Felt a lot like after having the wind knocked out of you.

I broke a rib once.  Said rib then lacerated my right lung to the point where it collapsed.  Also cracked a rib at the same time.

Thing is, I had been knocked unconscious from the fact that my GTi's roof had come in when it hit the tree.  The medical staff at the hopsital I wound up at kept me in a medicated coma for six days.  No, I wasn't drinking.

I don't believe, not for one minute, that the hospital allowed Chief S itting Bull to drink beer while there.

I speak from intimate experience with hospitals; after all, my parents ran hospitals.

I don't think any hospital in the United States--I could be wrong, but I don't think I am--would tolerate it.

If a physician thought some sort of alcohol would ease things for the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, it probably would've been given him in some form other than a couple of cans of Budweiser.

I've never in my life heard of beer being allowed in a hospital.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I call bullshit.

Now, don't get me wrong, i believe wholeheartedly that this DUmbass suffered some heavy injuries shortly after election day, but i doubt it was from a hypotension episode.

I am thinking he got his bitter, old, tantrum throwing, drunk ass beaten like a drum after venting his spleen to the wrong person.

Seems to be some holes in it as related, I agree.  The concussion, sure.  Normally, though, your slack body curls as it folds and it would be your forehead hammering the floor first, so the 'leading with the jaw' part while kind of unusual is not impossible.  However, unless your chest actually falls right on some hard object sticking up from the floor (Which he surely would have mentioned), it is extremely difficult to break any of your ribs in the way he describes, especially upper ones.

Personally I think the Audubon Society and assorted renegade birders found out where he lived, and gave him a blanket party for throwing rocks at that hawk.

Back in the 70's my mom was hospitalized for a serious kidney infection, and towards the end of her stay, they had her drink a couple of beers. Supposed to help flush her kidneys and check their function or something.  I was only 10 or 11 at the time, so I don't remember too much about the reasons.

Lets take him down to the airport and run him thru the metal detector.....watch 'em pry his mouth open.

Did they have to insert a tube to drain the collapsed lung? I used to watch that show, Trauma in the ER on Discovery Channel?, and that looked/seemed very painful.

Yes, and the site became infected.  When the Army doc popped the boil, . . . well, let's just say that it was infected waaay more than he thought.

I'm trying to picture it as Chief S itting Bull described it, but still am not "getting it."

The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive makes it seem as if he happened to have a couple of cans of Budweiser beer on him, or that the hospital kept a couple of cans of Budweiser beer in the refrigerator, or that a visitor was allowed to bring in a couple of cans of Budweiser for him.

I don't see it.

In the case of your mother, I bet it wasn't an instance of, "oh, here's a couple of cans of Budweiser, as we need to check out how well the kidneys work; drink up."  I'm sure the beer was presented to her in a, uh, more formal and professional manner than that, and probably in glasses, not cans.  And that she was closely monitored.

To her, it was probably nothing, nothing at all, like sitting in a bar putting down a couple, or at a backyard party with friends putting down a couple.

I've always hesitated to say this, but Chief S itting Bull is an alcoholic.

Alcoholics have a tendency to find excuses for drinking, in this case Redstone saying "the doctor said it was okay."

Because of my own experiences with drinking--none of them especially bad; I never got into any legal or academic or financial trouble stemming from it, it was nearly totally an "interior" issue with me--I've always been hesitant to criticize or belittle primitives trying to quit the bottle (which is why I stay out of the "alcoholism" forum on Skins's island, lest I be tempted to do that).

But I suppose it's reasonable to make an exception here.

The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive is an alcoholic, and a hard-core one.

One hopes his parents of blessed memory, his parents who gave him much (at much cost to themselves), his parents who had high hopes of him, his parents who wished him to be the best possible person he could be, are no longer in this time and place to see what a catastrophic physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wreck their son has voluntarily on his own turned out.

  You just reminded me of old man Monroe. He would have these coughing fits when he drank. He said the only thing that would stop them was another good drink of liquor....which caused him to cough more. Needless to say, old man Monroe coughed an awful lot....but drinking and coughing wasn't what killed him.

Ok, I give.  What killed old man Monroe?

Possibly a bus that he staggered out in front of?

"bump" in memory of Redstone.
