went to the e.r. today because of work

**blue02Z** · 07-12-2010, 05:43 PM

so i am puttin rear shocks on an '08 3/4ton silverado from an oilfield company and i am using my fancy pancy snap-on 21mm wobble socket to remove the lower shock mount nut and bolt and when the nut is done unscrewing and it just keeps spinning on the end of the bolt the wobble turns sidways and slings the nut into my right eye, then the fucking socket, which by no means is light because its a 21mm impact wobble, follows it off my gun and smacks my right upper cheek bone. well, vision blurred for about 30 seconds and when that came back i looked at my hands which i was holding my face with and they are filled with blood. cheek busted down to bone. went to hospital. 4 stiches in my cheek, x rayed face cuz thought bone was fractured but it wasnt. now i am sitting at home watching family guy drinking beer because all the damn pharmacy's were closed tonight so i gotta get my pills in the morning.

rant over

Enjoy your radiation. Did they at least shield you in x-ray?

**Stinger** · 07-12-2010, 06:02 PM

All the pharmacy's are closed. That'd be my luck, right there.

**Grimpala** · 07-12-2010, 06:14 PM

If you're in Haslet there has to be a walgreens or cvs near you that is open.

They'll just call you "Rave Man" because you'll radiate like a glow stick

I am dead serious. I am an x-ray tech. Shielding is my #1 priority. #2 is collimation.

That's how I dress during the summer months for work..minus the ripped body..and i wear a shirt..and cut my hair..okay. So the only thing that ties me to Techno Viking is the fact that i wear long socks, workboots and shorts to work.

**67CamaroRSSS** · 07-12-2010, 08:12 PM

Chicks dig scars...

**95camaroZNC** · 07-12-2010, 08:20 PM

I don't know wtf collomonotion is but I'm not letting some stupid piece of lead get between (literally) me and super human strength

Here is an x-ray that is collimated

Here is an x-ray without collimation.

You x-ray what you need to see and nothing else.

Ohhh... I get it. You concentrated the X-ray on the part of the body where you want special powers. Interesting. I'll have to inquire about that on my next trip to the dentist (My real doctor thinks I'm insane and won't xray me for that reason, but my dentist will basically do whatever for the insurance payment

)
