I have an ex that was always saying he was really ill when there was nothing wrong with him... once he started complaining about stomach pains and i didnt believe him, he told me to ring an ambulance and i said i wasnt wasting their time on him and said that if he wanted to go to hospital he could call a taxi but i werent paying for it or going with him........ a few hours later i got a call from the hospital telling me he was going into theatre and that he had perforated his bowel and could have died!


In my defence.... i am a peadiatric first aider and a child would have got an ambulance
How is that a defense I hope he learned his lesson. Someone should've read him the story of the boy who cried wolf when he was a child.
