How ****** is a society where someone will stab you in the head for a bicycle
BaGearA Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Why?cause the blade on the x-ray has more girth and larger handle than the other photo
Grease_Monkey Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Hi peeps  saw this on FB, so it must be true!! Can anyone confirm?True, my wife is a Doc at the hospital where he came in (Helderberg). She was there when he came in and took some of those pics... He has been transferred to Tygerberg. PS. He was commuting, not cycling for exercise, that is why he is dressed like that. Oh, and just as an aside - everyone is worked up about this because it was a cyclist - this is not even close to the most hectic thing she sees coming through those doors on a regular basis (just talking about violence/muggings/attacks). We are most of the time completely oblivious to the level of violence that happens right under our noses.
gummibear Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 cause the blade on the x-ray has more girth and larger handle than the other photoyeah but phones distort images really badly.
Grease_Monkey Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 cause the blade on the x-ray has more girth and larger handle than the other photoJust the angle at which the X-Ray was taken. Remember a photo is 3D, X-Ray 2D, so objects appear differently.
BaGearA Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 okay it happened , but i woulnt believe anything regarding the incident reported on social media
JAVSA02 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 okay it happened , but i woulnt believe anything regarding the incident reported on social mediaWhat specifically do you not believe? Do you have other information?  -- That it was the same spot as a ex World Champion cyclist attacked last week with his cycling partner in hospital? --- That it happened between Strand and Gordons Bay? -- That the victim was cycling to work? -- That the victim is a waiter at a local Shushi Restaurant? -- That the victim went to the Dr's rooms in the same center as the restaurant? (2 doors away) -- That he is in hospital? I don't see anything else reported? Without any further information to offer, your post is pointless.
King_Crispy Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The pic shows the knife in the lhs of the skull. The xray is showing the rhs of the skull.Doesn't add up
Jase619 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 The pic shows the knife in the lhs of the skull. The xray is showing the rhs of the skull.Doesn't add up Yip, your inability to discern which side the x-ray is showing apparently. . .
Jase619 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 okay it happened , but i woulnt believe anything regarding the incident reported on social media Not all reports on social media are incorrect. Some are actually true, you just have to be able to fathom which one is which. Generally when you come here and a fellow Hub member confirms the story as his wife was one of the doctors in attendance, you should then surely be able to decided that this is more than likely the truth?
dave303e Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 if you are reading news on social media sorry for your IQ having to sift through what is wrong and what is right. Facebook is social media not news media Even from news reporters you need to read multiple sources because they all have an agenda.
