Down the pub - the thread about nothing and everything

Something though, could it of been the cold that saved you. I guess that you already know about all of this though.
Hypothermia has been used for many years to treat people who have had a severe brain injury. This involves cooling the head or the whole body to a temperature below normal body temperature.21 Sept 2017

Think the hypothermia had already kicked in, a few people said I was already blue in colour when I was found.
In the ambulance for 2 hours I've been told they were using something on me to actually warm me up, before moving me to hospital.
I saw another cousin who's also a senior nurse recently, and she said that the cold night probably saved my brain, or done me a favour one way or another.
I have hinted a few times to different GP's that the meds I was on for a skin rash could well have been the cause of the fall, but their response if any was very tame to say the least.
There's no proof of anything due to the long timescale, so they're not going to admit to anything, which in fairness probably the correct thing to do.
GP's and hospitals tend to concentrate on fixing the problem in hand which is fine by me as nothing else was found to suggest why I fell, and in a  senior consultants words at hospital "Your injuries are the result of the fall, but not the cause of them."which is actually much better than it sounds.
