Norwegian guy goes out on the town in Copenhagen, gets brained by a broken bottle. Bleeding all over the place his mates get him to the hospital. He shows up at the emergency room and mumbles I'm a "hemofil" (scandaweenie for hemophiliac), nurse hears I'm a "homofil" (scandaweenie for gay). Gay guys get put in line, hemophiliacs get rushed into emergency to keep them from bleeding to death. This guy bleeds to death.
I've been saying this for years and I still mean it. The Danes need to get a spoken language.
Surely if his mates are with him they could tell the hospital this crap?
Problem is that Norwegian is a hillbilly language spoken like a 10 year old with bracers and a swolen tongue. There is a very good chance that the nurse no matter what, could only hear him say "homofil"...
Så lær dog at tale rigtigt, fjeldaber...
If only gays were marked with some sort of patch, a pink triangle or something, this might have been avoided.

Maybe straight people could wear it. I ain't gonna rock nothing so tacky as a pink triangle. :angry:

I don't think so. I've encountered many gays, but not so many pink triangles. Usually only see them as symbols for gay groups that are stuck looking at the past. Too depressing, if you ask me; thinking about how badly people dressed. :(

Why would anyone shout that they were gay in such a situation (and with such an rarely used word for it)? Medical staff should be more used to people saying they were hemophilliac.

:lol: Good point. It'd be like me shouting "I've got a boob fetish!" if I was rushed to the hospital after suffering a stroke, and the nurse being like "Quick, rush him to the Pervert Ward!"

Leaving an AIDS patient bleeding in the waiting room doesn't make that much sense either.

You'd like that, wouldn't you. :D

Maybe she thought this life threatening situation had made him see he needed to come out of the closet and be true to himself. I bet that happens all the time.

If she thought it was a life threatening situation it still wouldn't be smart to dismiss him. You know, save lifes and all that shit at the hospitals.

For one, the nurses' outfits are purchased at a specialty costume shop and not the usual medical supply outfit ... ;)
Don't they have Medic-Alert bracelets in Norway? :huh:
If the guy's hemophiliac he ought to have at least something on him to warn health workers , in case he isn't conscious or unable to communicate. I have always something on me warning for my allergy for emergencies.
But really, there's no need to make such a big deal out of this. It's just our rampant xenophobia playing its part. If the guy had been a Pakistani this wouldn't even make the news.

Still, that a nurse could confuse "hemophilia" for "homosexual", even in Norwegian, that no check at least to be sure that he is the bleeding guy isn't a hemophiliac, and that no one took notice that the guy didn't stop bleeding after 10 minutes... was it too tiresome for her to ask him to confirm, to ask something like "excuse me, did you say you were hemophiliac or homosexual?"
And I am sure her nursing union will defend that incompetent tart with tooth and nail. <_<
Apparently this is the conversation with the nurse:
Friend: He's a bleeder
Nurse: No, he's not bleeding that much.
Friend: No, a hemophilliac
Nurse: Well, if he's homophile, then he doesn't need treatment.

I find your stupidity to be embarrassing.
Even if the guy was muttering and unintelligible, shouldn't somebody have noticed, you know, that the bleeding WASN'T STOPPING? <_<

Internal.

Well, that would answer a lot, but where do you see that it was internal? "Brained by a broken bottle" and "bleeding all over the place" make me think not only bleeding externally, but profusely as well. :unsure:

No. Why would anyone notice that? Headwounds bleed like crazy anyways. Moreover, it's unrealistic to expect ER nurses to carefully monitor each of the several dozen people in the waiting room at all times.
Still, I'm willing to wager that Martinus thinks this is a hate crime.

Martinus would consider any action which did not include immediate M/m blowjobs to be hate crimes.

Thank god you don't work in the medical field.
1: Head wounds bleed pretty profusely due to the number of capillaries close to the surface of the skin along the head. Have you ever seen a hemophiliac bleed, though? After a couple of minutes, the difference is pretty plain.
2: The ER nurses? Sure. However, the first step is not the ER, but triage, where the nurses are
supposed to keep an eye on all of them; their job is specifically to monitor incoming patients and rush the ones in who need immediate attention.
