To see if he’s got other injuries or bleeding from somebody if not then if it is an isolated head injury but it’s very very important to maintain his blood pressure relatively High to make sure he’s getting enough cerebral perfusion pressure up there because this brain

Will over the next days swell up so this is now our task enough oh yeah I don’t think you could actually say after 42 years that I’m in love with him but I love him it’s for better for worse really you know that was in your vows [Music] it’s it’s strange

Don’t be silly I mean on the lips are you have any relatives at all yeah apparently there’s a wife who is being blue lighted in by the police like she’s expected yeah so should we send her to surgical critical care

I think that would be very good yeah yeah thank you did you get that as well David’s CT scan has revealed significant injury to his brain he’s obviously gone like that hasn’t he answers as he’s landed uh yeah but I’m surprised his chest and his chest is yeah

So we’re waiting across that’s an hour really from getting here into scanning back out again [Music] I’ve seen some people fall from Great Heights and bends I’ve seen people that have fallen from standing and and had a big bleed but usually that the higher up they fall and

The more chance you’ve got of them having some brain damage once you’ve stabilized the patient there’s not that much more to do for them [Music] um on a life support he was in a coma we all moan about our partners but you just don’t realize until something like this happens thank you

When you smile it’s lovely if you only had your teeth you know he sort of doesn’t really focus on his cancer there is a danger and that’s you know always there if you’re awake at night it will worry you or if you’re having a reflective moment

It will worry you but in our kind of normal busy lives no we don’t let it and John is a sort of uh optimistic man and so he would [Music] so it’s more around your ankle it’s it’s yes around here classical textbook sprain
