Man rushed to hospital after drying his hair too “aggressively”

A man in the UK had to be rushed to hospital after drying his hair too “aggressively” because he was running late for work.

Everyone has been there at some point or another: your alarm hasn’t gone off, or you’ve slept through it, meaning you’re running late to get to school, work, or even a job interview. As a result, you might end up rushing through things and skipping steps that you’d take if you had the time.

Well, in the case of 21-year-old Samuel Johnson, he woke up 45 minutes later than planned for work, leaving him with just 15 minutes to get ready.

However, after being just 10 minutes late to work, the 21-year-old found himself in discomfort. The pain didn’t subside throughout the day, leading to Johnson needing to rush to hospital for a check-up.

Man “embarrassed” after hospital visit for hair-drying injury

After being checked over by doctors, the 21-year-old noted that he felt like he’d “given himself whiplash” and discovered he had a trapped nerve. How that happen? Well, he dried his hair too “roughly” while rushing.

“I got the towel caught round the back of my head, so I went to pull it off. But instead of pulling it off, the towel got caught, and my head went flying all the way down with the towel,” he told the Daily Star.

“I told the triage nurse I was in a rush this morning, and I dried my hair too aggressively and I was really embarrassed. The doctors sent me home with painkillers. When I woke up the next day I couldn’t move at all, it was so bad, I just felt like a rock.”

Elsewhere in the UK, a fortune teller has sued a cinema chain for nearly $17 million after claiming he was “catapulted” out of a defective chair that left him with chronic injuries and ruined his career.

Marcus Hunefalk-Franzen, a 60-year-old tarot card reader and actor, said the incident happened back in 2015.
