I’m typing this entry with a broken finger. Before you say “fool have you lost your mind?” let me explain why:
The only reason that I am typing with what my newfound Google and Web MD search wisdom tells me is some kind of fracture, is mainly because I hate going to the Emergency Room. The Emergency Room is essentially Hell on Earth, except Hell doesn’t make you wait 6 hours in a room full of sick people. You just die, and POW! Eternal damnation. It’s a model of efficiency. The Emergency Room however, is quite the opposite, especially if your injuries are not life-threatening.
Since I have decent insurance these days, I guess I should avoid listening to my MacGuyver and Rambo instincts to either ride out the pain, or build a splint out of two sticks, a rubber band and a Starbucks napkin. I’m just going to insist that my primary care physician see me at some point tomorrow. If anyone from that office gives me any back talk on the phone, I’ll tell ‘em “Don’t make me come over there!” If THAT does not work, I actually WILL come over there, then lay on the floor wearing a shirt stained with fake blood, yelling and holding a picket sign that reads “I’M GON’ DIE TO DEATH ‘CAUSE THEY WON’T SEE ME!”
As you can tell, I’m prepared to handle this in the most mature manner possible.
In the meantime, I shall be self-medicating with Advil and Chinese food while preparing for the series of calls I’m making tomorrow. I’ll update you on the status of my non-b*tch-slap hand as further details become available.

don’t let that broken pinkie fuck up your swag yella.
As a dude who had severe stomach pain for seven months only to go to the ER and find out it was colon cancer you might wanna get that finger checked out.
Whoa, you mean you aren’t already ambidextrously bitch slappin’ hoes? One must be prepared…get back on yo game playa!!!
you dont have a first aid clinic or urgent care unit near you? its sort of like the ER but your seen a whole like quicker its like a back up to your primary…and they usually stay open to like 10 pm…
LMAO@ “Die to death” Uhm, how you gone just take Advil for a broken finger? BTW I think the Chinese takeout might do more harm than good, you’ll have the raging sh*ts and your finger will still be broken. I second with Naydia, you should get to an urgent care if your regular physician is waiting for your finger to fall off before he/she sees you. Hope you can get that taken care of soon.
