Alex Platt’s Gap To Fractured Skull

If you guys follow The Come Up closely you may remeber Adam’s Twitter Report from the other day, explaining that Alex had a bad crash. Here’s a little documentary of sorts shot by Scott Marceau of the whole innocent including the crash sequence, the bullshit we had to put up with at the first hospital, the diagnosis, and how it all ended up.

For those who are concerned, Alex is alright now. It’s been a couple days and although he did check himself out of the hospital against medical advice, he is going home on monday to see his own neurologist to make sure there isn’t any internal bleeding, blood clots, etc. Wish him the best!

    You guys are fucking clowns. It looked and sounded like everyone was being professional and you were arguing with them over petty shit. If you wanted him to have immediate medical attention you should have called an ambulance. This is what happens when you walk into an emergency room. Who the fuck would want someones smart ass friends hanging around giving their worthless opinions?

    Agree whole-heartedly. Given a22′s statement the other day, it was like he was this innocent victim of a horrible system. What it looked like was a kid goes into the emergency room with a bunch of his know-nothing, instigating, wise-ass friends who hassle the nurses under a veil of care for their friend. The nurses did nothing but try to appease everyone. a22 and the rest of these chuckleheads should have never made it past the waiting room. He refuses to provide triage with requested information, refuses to cut off his past hospital bracelets, and there is an idiot filming the whole thing on camera in a confidential environment. My favorite part is when a22, who supposedly cares for Platt, tucks his tail but as he’s walking out, says to his skull-fractured friend, “Alex, we should get out of here.” This is all only punctuated by Platt checking himself out AMA of the next hospital. They should all be grateful they have a place to go when they get hurt.

    wow you are so rebellious, hope he took some braindamage out of this one. well i don`t but you guys are the dumbest mofos i have ever seen

  • http://Website

    their job is to listen to the patients, not talk down to them. That nurse seemed like an incompetent piece of shit, and that cop was probably a nerd who got his ass kicked everyday at recess and is now hell bent on getting back at the world.

  • http://Website ghostface

    This is utter bollocks. Fair play the nurses might have been a little patronising, but that is probably the best approach to take with somebody who is in dazed and confused (as Alex looked). The cop was unreasonable, yes, but you guys didn’t exactly help the situation by being awkward and argumentative.

    Anyway I hope he gets well soon. I actually found this a little scary; I’ve a feeling as street gets even bigger and burlier more and more kids are going to get fucked up, sometimes you do have to stand back and ask whether its really worth it…but equally danger/fear/accomplishment are great feelings….

  • http://Website n/h maximus

    Everyone everywhere should stop trying to be a pro, you’ll never be more fucking awesome than this guy. Alex Platt fucking rules, de facto. Whether or not there is a god, I hope that something helps this guy heal properly. Get better.

    pretty much. the nurse was trying to do her job, you acted like pricks. the cop was a dickhead but what cop isn’t?

  • http://Website misled clothing

    I work in one of the highest known medical offices in ohio. That lady was horrible at her job, she was very very shitty, and rude. If he had head trauma he should of been taken for a ct scan almost right away when walking through the doors. It may have been unusual for her to have a group of guys and a video camera but, that just proved she was shitty at her job, the cop was way out of line, and if i were you guys id send this shit to fox news hahaha and let the debate begin…Head trauma is always unpredictable, and she stated she would make sure he was fine, haha she was just a peon. she dont know shit.

  • http://Website mitch666

    seriously what was up with the pigs in the first hospital that was bullshit the last thing you need is pigs bitching at you and your friends when you are hurt there is no reason for that cop to be such a dick to a bunch of kids

  • http://Website misled clothing

    obama isnt worried about this type of shit, hes worried about the government controlling the money in it , and out of it. search new world order 1 government world.. not good , not good. I dont want the smae healthcare as some lazy bum who does crack and dont work , sorry ..

  • http://Website lol@

    that cop was a cocksucker.

    I know hundreds of riders and only a handful have health insurance. Free healthcare for all the riders scraping by would spare them and their families millions of dollars. Go watch some Glen Beck and get tea bagged dipshit.

    LOL that douchebag woman has her wages paid by people like alex’s health insurance, she should have shown him some fucking respect. how exactly was she gonna stopanything from happening to him when he wasnt even in the recovery position??

  • http://Website daniel w

    Looked like Adam started walking out because the cop was a cocksucker, and none of them could do anything about it. If he sat through all that just fine, then he was good enough to go to a better place to get better medical attention.

    Dealing with shitty hospital workers isn’t the best. You don’t bring a friend into that place ready to deal with extra bullshit, shitty worker attitudes, and so forth prior to the levels of that hospitals already hold. It’s not the time for that. I’d be a prick too if I saw my injured friend not getting the attention he deserved.

  • http://Website misled clothing

    ^ agreed , luben , meh , u missed my point bro, its always about money ,not people really getting healthy, if we cure everyone that is sick what would happen? huge government owned drug companies stop making profit, true. We can fly to the moon and cant cure std’s ? give me a fucking break… our government running our healthcare is fucking lame. They cant run the shit they have now, why on earth would we want them to take care of us, parents,friends, grandparents etc. I agree there needs to be a change, I say take the money we pay for welfare and use it for the gap of people with no healthcare. And next time cousin dede has her 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th fucking kid, i think its time to enforce child control so it doesnt keep fucking everyone else who works. I have been the bmx guy who was under 18 and broke his arm while my parents switched jobs and had no insurance , so what did i do., nothen it fucking stayed broke until it healed , just like the cavemen did it..Now i work in orthopaedics haha go figure

    did anyone else notice that the cop looked like the cop from the hangover. the whole time i was waiting for him to yell NOT UP IN HERE

  • http://cspan.org Stuck between Barrack and a hard place.

    You guys that are worried about healthcare should move to San Francisco. The last 2 days businesses around the bay have been setting up their healthcare tax into their systems to be added to your bill total. For a mear $2.00 a meal you can now pay for someone else’s healthcare while you eat. Like it or not, a $2.00 charge will be added to your total for businesses to cover their employees. Since neither state no Federal Governments will cover the cost, and since the employers are not financially secure to cover the cost or just not wanting to pay for it, you all will now have your wishes granted. How’s that for free healthcare you morons!

    I love how people are calling a22 and scott pricks and shitty friends, but they were the ones filling out Alex’s medical forms and giving the nurse info on past injuries. From what the video showed i doubt Alex would have been able to do it by himself in the condition that he was in, his friends impressed me….

    “it fucking stayed broke until it healed”.. I don’t get it? If you had insurance, then the hospital could have healed it FOR you? Quicker?
    Also. What was the point of that statement to begin with? The hospital would not have denied you treatment for your arm.

  • http://Website Medic

    What people don’t understand is that Platt’s surliness was a direct result of a head injury. I have worked with brain injured people for years. If that woman was properly trained for her job as triage nurse she would know the signs and put him through right away.

    That being said. Despite your appearance, one’s abililty to speak and conduct themselves accordingly regardless of oppression will win out in most scenarios even when dealing with incompetent people.

    Had one spoken up and asked for the officers name and badge number asking for a reason for his surliness he would have to repond accordingly. Citing Platt’s irritability and uncooperativeness as direct indicators of major head trauma and concussion which is well documented and becoming more common knowledge would make the nurses rethink their own approach.

    point was bones heal on there own regardless, i had no insurance and i didnt want my parents to get a 5000$ bill, so i kept it in a make shift splint and sling until i could make do, If i had insurance , I would of seeked health care to get the proper x rays and a proper cast, you see having no healthcare, creats large bills for people. Joey hill ruptured his spleen, skull fracture, and a week long hospital stay over 5 years ago, he almost died, his bill was over 80,000$ bucks , who could ever pay that at his age? nobody except for miley cyrus,

    I also dont listen to glenn beck to the jack ass, all media is 1 sided or another, i would just say most if not 99% are left sided tree hugging extremist..

  • http://Website My Name

    As a Registered Nurse, I have to say I found the triage nurse’s attitude shockingly unprofessional, VERY rude and completely uncalled for!!! I don’t care how “silly” a patient or his friends are acting, medical professionals are to always take control of the environment of the ER, maintain professional attitudes, act competently, and are obligated to treat any patient following strict and specific hospital protocols!

    We are trained to deal with these types of situations and how to handle them when things get crazy. I’m sure her supervisor and the hospital’s administration would be very interested in seeing this video footage. It will likely result in harsh disciplinary action, deservedly so!

    Knowing you had a serious head injury, she put your life and health in danger, and put the hospital in a potentially messy legal situation. Shame on this nurse for making us all look BAD! The cop was a total tool, also. Very unprofessional and hot headed.

    I’m glad you’re okay and hope you “use” your head next time. Next time this happens, you may not be that lucky. How about investing in a full face helmet for starters?
