Very strange. Chris has jumped here before, and there were 8 people jumping the afternoon we arrived. 

Chris jumped holding a camera on his head, which might have meant he went deeper, and it might have been he didn't jump out, either way he clipped a rock, compound fracture in the foot. I carried him out of there (100m climb over 1km) in a lot of pain, took him to emergency, then took Sunshine and Eve home. I uploaded all the photos and videos and fell asleep. Woke at 1:30am and went in to find him sitting in the waiting room, wound not cleaned, needing stitches, still in pain, with a basic bandage, compressing on his swelling (no ice), foot not elevated. 

I hit the roof! In no time he was in getting xrayed, given morphine, and the whole waiting room (about 15 people) was put through in 30 minutes. Someone there at reception had completely fucked up. Everyone was very apologetic, explaining that their triage system wasn't working...

Because he'd gone 7 hours with an uncleaned wound over a fracture, they checked him in on an antibiotic drip for the risk of infection. Next morning (today) they decide to transfer him to another hospital because they can't deal with compound fractures. He's currently waiting to be transfered.
