Not mine, but my missus managed this a couple of weeks ago:
Doesn't look much, but there's two broken bones and a dislocated ankle in there.
To add insult to injury, she couldn't move so had to sit on the pavement outside until the ambulance arrived. We called for one at about 8:55 pm. It finally showed up at 4:20 the next morning - nearly 71/2 hours later. I could have walked to the hospital, collected a wheelchair, bought it back and took her to the hospital myself in less time than that - but of course they couldn't give us an ETA so we just had to wait.
Good news is, she's recovering well and zooming around on the cheapo wheelchair she bought. Cheapo 'cos it cost less than what the NHS were going to charge her for renting one.

Nasty hope recovery is well under way and problem free. Dave
