So, since slamming my shin into a solid metal tent-peg at Maelstrom (not a little camping thing, one of those big fuckers that keep the army tents from falling down) the area immediately south of the injury has become somewhat numb.

How worried should I be?

Oh it's definitely nothing serious. I'm 100% sure on that.

Wait a minute. I learnt all I know about Medicine from TV dramas! Maybe you should seek a specific general practitioner.

So the plan is to poke it until it gets worse so we can figure out what it was when we started? Interesting.

I'd recommend a GP visit. Wouldn't go myself but then again I use gaffa tape to stem bleeding so I'm not the best example.

If this were Casualty he'd maybe have enough time for a tearful farewell and then he'd die of Explody Pelvis Sickness.
