Emergency room party

We have been asked to a party with a theme. Last year was shipwrecked, that was not too hard. This year, to celebrate the life of one of the party throwers that had a heart attack, is ER.
We have to arrive as if we were arriving to the emergency at the hospital.

I am stumped. Apart from arriving covered in blood, all the ER entrants I have seen look normal. Maybe hobbling, or doubling over, but no dramatic visible issues.

Any ideas?

Have you never watched the UK doco 24 Hours in A&E? very fascinating.

How about something obscure like arriving with something odd trapped on your head, gate railings, toilet um can't think of anything else, although to be fair you probably wouldn't arrive at A&E with these things because the fire service would prob come to you.

Hand flattened in a piece of machinery - gruesome.
Drug overdose (bad taste I know), too many laxatives?
Worm from your tropical holiday making it's way out of your skull/arm/leg?
Neck in a brace because you fell off a ladder/scaffolding.
Fight with a vampire and you have two puncture wounds in your neck and blood - ooh you might just turn into one!!
Woman arriving having started to give birth in the car and she's giving birth to a half human half sheep
You could be one of the orderlies or doctors complete with either green or white or whatever they wear and latex gloves and whatever instruments or other things they use.
Ha ha I think I better go and have another cup of tea I have a weird mind (and I didn't mention the really rude ones I thought of as they weren't seemly for this forum)

Fork through the nose! We saw that one on the internet and the kids are never allowed to run with forks after that.

... or, in my case..... goat
I wonder how hard it would be to make up a half vampire, half human outfit?

I have plenty of syringes and tubes, cochineal (or red food colouring) and bandages. Thing is, we are meant to be arriving A & E, we would not have many dressings at that stage.
If my n/bour had not changed her job I could have borrowed some scrubs (nurse gear).

you might be able to find halloween costumes consisting of an axe to the head or something similar

What about cuts & scraps & a DIY patchup job...duc tape/ fluro animal bandages....purple spray/iodine haha

Or ripped clothes & something smeared to look like you have been attacked/dragged/trampled by an animal...hoof prints on your clothes etc

I like the LSB themed injuries suggested. I'd add you should be wearing a dressing gown and gumboots. What one naturally has to hand when rushed.

Oh yes you have to be wearing gumboots

....bit of purple spray on ur hands from treating animals(or urself)

hairdo a bit messed up

wrapped up in barbed wire?
black eye from appropriate horned animal?
in wheelchair?
leg in cardboard splint as they do in the ambulance
arm in sling
bit of farming implement sticking out of arm and suitably bandaged in place
stuffed cow/ram attached to your bum as if you have been charged by it

You might be arriving in ER via St Johns, and they would have already done some precursory patching, bandaging, IVing, BP cuff on, etc. Sounds like fun!

The LSB themed emergency ideas are really cute - might be able to stick a fake poo on the bottom of a gumboot ... could be hilarious if you have to leave your shoes at the door .

Have fun!

Haha I want you guys to come to my party!

Hi,

How about arriving as a burns victim?

Take some old clothes (eg old jeans and an old shirt?) to a safe place where you can have a fire. Burn some big holes in the clothes and then extinguish the fire - think like a dinner plate sized hole burnt through your shirt and or the leg of your jeans etc.

Apply something like red food colouring to your skin where it will be visible through the holes burned in your costume, and then once that dries, how about a applying a thin layer of PVA glue on top of your red skin - once the PVA dries, you can pick at it a bit so that it looks like your burnt "skin" is peeling off [}] (dry PVA peels off of skin quiet nicely - at least it did when I had art classes at school). You could even apply charcoal to your "wounds" if you want them to look a bit charred... (the smoky smell from your recently burned costume will also help complete the effect)

Cheers

I am sure we will need some so I searched fake blood , so many are edible ! This opens up a whole realm of gory and scary, edible possibilities. [}]
