If you crashed dirt biking and could not longer stand...

[Unknown303]

Would you go to the hospital or a walk in clinic.


And backstory;
I was out dirt biking yesterday and really tweaked my back bad during a crash. I was able to hardly finish up the ride. And made it through yesterday with tonnes of pain but still walking around for the most part until late evening.

Now today I'm pretty much bed ridden. I can't even put weight on my back any more. and while I wait for my ride to get here I thought I'd ask you guys.

I would say hospital.

There is a good chance that when you go to the walk-in, they will send you to the hospital for x-rays (or whatever is needed) anyway.

Best of luck with getting better!

Well I did that and after a pile of questions the nurse urgently requested that I get my ass to the nearest hospital ASAP.... I always forget about health link and it has to be the best number ever to call in these situations.
