Thread: Should have driven My Disco! HighSpeed motorbike crash

A cool 90ish year old gent walks about 10 per year. *************

C'mon Diver, you might be busy but I can't believe you are that olde.

I wonder if the cool running Portland Runners Club watch this thread? My ugly mug appeared on their FB post "

We’re still accepting online entries up till Thursday 31st Oct for the Ultra and Friday 1st Nov for the road events unless they sell out prior. Time to commit. www.portlandrunnersclub.com.au"

Noted a big smile on my dial after 42km. So many cool runners to chose from and they used me

Laying on the couch for a few days post a nifty bone graft to my tibia. Surgeon said Ill be good for Melbourne 2020 which make my ongoing Portland PB request a certainty for 2020 or full refund from him

If your bored or interested I will be on ABC 774 radio on Monday 28/10 at about 8.30 re Royal Melbourne Major Trauma unit who along with others saved my life.

Thanking Royal Melbourne Hospital this morning.
Dr Rose needed me to point at my shoulder and leg when listing my injury list

Bugger, missed it! Will listen to it later.

Great interview. 👍. You’re a natural on radio - you should have taken Johns job instead of Virginia... 😇😉

Haemodynamic Instability - that’s a new one to me - I’ll have to remember that. 😁

Didn't know about the Royal Melbourne trauma unit - there was a UK TV series where they embedded in the Alfred Hospital road trauma unit and the presenter, who was a doctor, was incredibly impressed. Don't underestimate how world class our medical services are.

I work with 4 Doctors. Haemodynamic Instability was a classy way of saying it. I did not get to thank Blood Donors in the interview at that point as we were chuckling about my silly comment of (not) bleeding to death . I did on a thread in here happily thanking blood donors for their blood, time and generosity.

"Haemodynamic instability can be defined as perfusion failure, represented by clinical features of circulatory shock and advanced heart failure (Weil 2005). It may also be defined as 1 or more out-of-range vital sign measurements, such as low blood pressure."

Haemodynamic Instability is the 'result of' my bleeding not the cause of my simple 'not' bleeding to death.

Haemo is ancient Greek as is dynamic. Words are cools as well.

Dr Rose is an extortionary person. Our Major Trauma Units are world class and only thing I did not get to say was all the grumbles about health services are 99% by impatient patients rather than the low percentage of errors many of which are really unavoidable tragedies . The outrage I note some times over non urgent issues not being prioritized contrasted very well to the multiple major surgeries I had in hours and days after a big hit I took. Happy to be a Major Trauma survivor ( Alfred and Royal Melbourne here in Vic)

Dr Rose confided off air she was rather happily surprised I had survived and recovered to have a good chance of my bad habits of running. Very Very Lucky fits me well. If that topic was considered more closely I would need to add surviving huge waves washing me off a ship (HMAS VAmpire NZ 1985), huge sharks which didn't bite, dugites (WA) and tigere's here I did not get bitten by on several occasions and a few other less dramatic issues.

Re natural on Radio. While working in Warrnabool I woke up to a 'secret sound' on the radio for a month or two. I finally rang to solve it. 3yb I think. The host said after I spoke " You have a "sexy" (radio) voice. I copped heaps for months

Haemodynamic Instability

I must try & remember to chuck that into Xmas Drinkies conversations providing I am not speaking to one of the Medical Profession. Anyone else will just look puzzled & say"Huh?"

Thanks Diver so all went well then you Media whore?
