Head/Neck, Impact wound / trauma

2018-05-06 – 2018-05-11

Grade: 2

Tripped and fell, landing with my chin and throat hitting a small (40cm) termite mound. Bruising and scratches on my chin, painful to swallow, will get checked for internal throat injury.

Update: GP has cleared major damage, but insisted on prescribing anti-bio ointment for the grazes and scratches on the grounds that termite mounds are basically vomit or excretia.(This particular mound was however set as hard as concrete.)

May have suffered whiplash, neck muscles feel very tight.
