Madonna was a horrible patient

10/22/05: MADONNA WAS A TERRIBLE PATIENT



MADONNA was a terrible patient as nurses tried to keep her calm after her horse fall nine weeks ago (AUG05) - because she refused to stop "freaking out."

The pop superstar was thrown from a pal's polo horse on her birthday and knocked unconscious. When she came round she attempted to get up and passed out again.

As well as her fainting spell, Madonna cracked her scapula and broke four ribs - and couldn't believe she'd ruined her summer by falling from a horse.

She recalls, "I had to be rushed to the hospital and have a thousand X-rays and I was totally in denial. I was screaming at the nurses; they weren't very happy with me.

"I just thought, `Oh God, the rest of my summer's ruined, I won't be able to dance anymore, I won't be able to do yoga anymore. How long will I be an invalid and incapacitated?' I just freaked out."

Madonna is well on her way to making a full recovery but she's still in a lot of pain: "One of my ribs hasn't gone together. I broke four ribs and so they're sort of waving around; they haven't joined up yet. It's very complicated and very painful."

Ohgawd Madge. Next time, go toward the Light, Esther...And remember that Kabbalah teaches that you brought that situation onto yourself.

So deal with it.

What a fucking moron. When you've cracked your ribs you have to be careful and take things slowly, not sit there and WHINE. (speaking from experience)

What a bitch....I am so over that freak. OH NO, can I get more Botox?

[serenity]

She was screaming at the nurses? Why scream at people that are trying to help you? Oh yes, this self centered bitch has ruined her summer and might not be able to dance. I would hate to be married to her.

An invalid?
Oh, god. The drama.

I hope she went to an NHS hospital and bitched out those nurses who make less than 20k a year so they can put it in her medical records and it'll follow her EVERYWHERE.

They can do that? Like a criminal record?

I saw some pics last week, can't remember where, and she looked VERY skinny. Apparently, she's more or less starving herself because she can't stick to her obsessive exercise program at the moment. She looked terrible, correction, more terrible.

Sure, they can write whatever they like in your records, but you always have the right to see them anytime you want. Your NHS records are usually kept centrally (though in some regions they're not yet) and they can be accessed all over the place.

Jesus, Christopher Reeves didn't fuss like this and look at what happened to him. She nauseates me

She is a silly twat but in one small defense of her, at least she admits she was horrible. But in thinking about it, perhaps that's her way of staving off the inevitable 'Maddonna was a raging bitch' headlines in next weeks News of the World.

If I were her I'd send those nurses flowers and a big fat APOLOGY CAKE.

Nurses in this country are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated. They don't deserve to be treated like that.
