(20,185 posts)I worked in the basement of a building, slipped on a piece of ice and kissed the concrete. My glasses were broken, there was blood all down the front of my clothes and I had a big goose egg on my forehead. My boss drove me to the ER because I had lost consciousness and she wanted to make sure I didn't have any fractures.
I got x-rays and the doctor was checking me out. He asked how I had gotten injured and I told him. He asked my boss to leave the room. He said, "Okay....really. Who did this to you?"
I was incredulous. I said, "No, really, I slipped on a piece of melted ice and the next thing I knew, the floor was approaching my face, REALLY FAST. My face hit concrete. Do women come in looking like me because someone hit them?"
He just nodded and said, "All the time."
