British Expats - In To-day's Newspapers

Siolim Bridge has finally reopened.Its no where near complete ,there are 2 or 3, 4 feet sections across the bridge full of mud , others sections are large boulders with a fine tar like substance scattered over them and then a roller over it all.....its pathetic compared to the beautiful bridge at Aldona.This article says there is still a small amout of work to do. :rofl:

There was a picture in the paper but don`t think it comes up on this link.

What a total fiasco.The sections filled with mud have been washed away with the torrential rain we`ve had.Buses OK. Cars drive with caution...2 wheelers :eek:

I`ll try and get some pics tomorrow...its a disaster zone!!!

It depends what they meant by "leg". If it was the thigh (femur), then life threatening complications can occur.

I`m kind of hoping that the PWO will be back tomorrow to fill in these ruts with something a bit more substantial than mud!!

Why?
It is possible the reporting could have failed to give the accurate meaning of 'leg' bones which is tib and fib.
Even with this there are uncommon reasons that things could have gone wrong.

Come on Steve, we would miss her if she went! :eek::eek::eek:

After all we could have had;

"It depends what they meant by "dead". If it was a dead leg, then life threatening complications can occur.

The post stated "A broken leg, resulting in death that's a first".

No comment on this particular case.

Just look it up before sarcasm.

Compound fractures, dirty wound -- infection--septicaemia.

Pinning of shattered bones--infection--septicaemia.

Imobilising the patient after op. --deep vein thrombosis---pulmonary embolism.

Just for starters.

Goodness, do you mean they were telling jokes about it at Vintage Hospital in an attempt to hide the death from a broken leg? :blink:
