AIR-CLINIC WRITING CONTEST: My Last Injury.

in #air-clinic6 years ago

Crispin was seated in his living room with his friend Majid watching their favorite series 'Yolo' when suddenly Majid realized the bandaged wrist that Crispin had tried so hard to hide. Crispin then set out trying to explain how hot water poured on his hand. Apparently he cared for his two nephews while his sister, who is a single mother was out of town.

They had a lot of fun and he bragged about how he taught his youngins some skills wen it came time to cook. He 'cheffed' some super food. Majid gave his friend some 'deserved' praise. Crispin went on to explain how much fun he had. Then it came time for his nephews to take their baths. They needed warm water. His budget can't support a water heater for his shower, heat it up on your stove. He did that and while he was pouring into the bucket, his younger nephew jumped on him from behind, a bear hug from behind, grabbing his upper arms. This meant he lost control and the hot water poured on his left hand. He then described how he took it like a man, got his nephew to safety and put some salt on the burnt part of his hand as he learnt this helped ameliorate the effects of a hot water burn.
Majid was impressed and started raining praise on Crispin for his heroics in thinking of his nephew first. He was still doing so when Aisha, Crispin's girlfriend who was eves dropping the whole time burst into laughter. She told Majid Crispin was lying. She then proceeded to tell Majid how Crispin was attempting to prepare indomie(Instant noodles) for her on their anniversary when he mistakenly held the pan without gloves. He left it when it burned him, spilling the hot indomie and water on his left hand. Majid burst into laughter .
Crispin explained that whether his story was true or Aisha's was, his hand still got scalded and that was what mattered. He has been nicknamed 'Indomie Lover' ever since.

Nice article, but you should consider this steps before visiting Hospital:

If the pain doesn’t go away after a few minutes and you realize the red area has grown or blisters are forming, consider going to the emergency room.

Otherwise, if the symptoms start to go away, you can continue with your treatment at home.

Thanks very much
