Just been wondering about this one what would happen if someone broke an arm or a leg whilst in the house, could they take them to hospital blindfolded?

I think there would be a stand-by doctor to rush in and help. If they needed to go to hospital they would probably go in an ambulance via tha backdoor but would not be blindfolded - they prob wouldnt be allowed back in the house tho.

Quite interesting thought actually whether that would be them out of the house and replaced or maybe they could return.

Remember Bubble dont you? He never broke his leg but it was close. A doctor just came in, put a bandage on him & advised him to be careful on it.

I think if they broke a bone they would be asked if they wanted to stay, if they insisted on staying they may arrange to bring in doctors & equiptment to fix them up. If you break a bone is doesnt have to be plastered........a friend of mine broke both her arms but got one plastered & had the other in a sling so she could still do some things for herself.

In Australian BB1, one of the housemates (Jemma) injured her wrist playing volleyball and had to be taken to hospital.

She was closely guarded by the production team throughout the entire time she was outside of the house, to make sure she was given no information on events in the outside world or on how she was being perceived.

Because of this, she was allowed back into the house.

I think there's something in the UK BB rules which mentions what would happen in the event of a housemate having to be taken to hospital, and it's much the same as what happened to Jemma.

I suspect that if a housemate had to spend more than one night in hospital, they wouldn't be allowed back in the house.

If Alex's wisdom teeth are coming through and they have to come out in the next two weeks, then he may have to leave the house to have this done. As it can usually be done on local anaesthetic in the space of a couple of hours, it shouldn't be a problem.

You're right - if a hospital visit is required, the HM will be closely guarded, then allowed back in, unless they have to stay in, then they will forfeit their place. I think this is on the C4 site, but I heard it on the "How Not To Get On Big Brother" show a week before the series began.

Jonny would see this as another opportunity to score brownie points with the viewers and perform first aid until the medics arrived.

Well if Jade fell & fractured her skull we wouldn't notice, and if Tim broke his funny bone there wouldn't be any symptoms

Jade would bawl and scream like she's the one in pain, Jonny would say "Oh aye, it's hard for me too like, missin' me famlee", Tim would tell them how great the hospitals in Japan are, etc.
