Badly bruised ribs

After seven years of being able to dodge the hospital, it finally happened - I needed to go to one.

I badly bruised the left portion of my ribs after I slipped on the tub and hit that portion of my body. I ignored the minor pain I felt after the incident. I just placed some ice over it, took some Motrin and tried to simply sleep it away.

After three days, the pain become unbearable whenever I tried to move that required my spine to turn left. So, after some thinking I finally made the inevitable - call the hospital.
