Today when I played badminton in doubles, I turned around to see the ball, just then, my partner hit the ball and just got my left eye. I throw my racket and sit down on the court immediately, meanwhile, I couldn’t open my eyes, the tears went out and I felt my eye numb and sore. Then other players went to me in a hurry, and someone suggested me to open my eyes. I opened my eyes then they let me close my eyes instead. A girl gave me a pack of tissues and I used it to clean my tears, I saw the tissue was pink. I knew I was bleeding. The man who hit me took me to the hospital and another man also came with us. We went to a community hospital first, one doctor saw my eye and said we should went to see oculist to Eye & Ent hospital. So we called a car and went to another hospital. On the road, I was a little worried about my eyes, but I also thought it wasn’t serious. When we arrived at the hospital, we hung up an emergency, the doctor checked my eye first and then let her assistant checked my sight. My sight was as usual then the oculist used a instrument cured my wound. After that, she let us do another two check up and brought the reports to her. My reports was no problem and I just need to buy three bottles of eye drops to go home. That was more scared than hurt.
