The rush is not good: the towel sent the marketer to the hospital

The recent case of the Briton proved that haste does not lead to anything good. A man was taken to the hospital after washing his hair too badly with a towel for fear of being late for work.

Marketer Samuel Johnson woke up 45 minutes late, leaving himself just 15 minutes to pack when the bizarre accident happened. He was washing his disheveled hair, the towel "grabbed" on the back of his head. Instead of gently removing it, he pulled it and heard a crunch in his neck, but did not give it much importance because he was late for work.

As if running, Samuel was ten minutes late for work, but the pain continued to intensify throughout the day. According to him, during the working day the pain was so severe that he had difficulty turning his head to the side, and it seemed to him that it was pulsating in the beat of his own heartbeat.

By the time he returned home, he had burst into tears in pain and doctors had taken him to an ambulance hospital. He suspected he had stabbed himself, but doctors diagnosed him with a pinched nerve and sent him home with painkillers.

Now Samuel concluded, I came home and just burst into tears because I was in so much pain. He seemed to be pulsating at the beat of his own heartbeat.” He added that he had learned not to rush: “You don’t have to sacrifice your health to come to work on time.”.
