Is sending a selfie of yourself in A&E to a group chat of friends is a bit..... odd?

DHs mate sentence a photo of himself in a hospital bed after taking himself to A&E..and then followed up the photo with “they’re taking me into resus” Confused
This mate is diabetic (insulin dependant) so can be unwell.
He was feeling unwell, and took himself in, and apparently they’re concerned with his breathing and are taking him in the resus. Despite being conscious and well enough to send and respond to messages?
But now mate hasn’t responded for 30 minutes
Now DH is in a flat panic and has zoomed off to the hospital, despite me saying a) he can’t have been that bad, as he was sending the messages. B) he’s probably being looked at by nurses/doctors/whatever’s c) the hospital won’t let him in to see his mate, as he’s not family

DH went anyway saying “”phew hasn’t got any family “

Now. The harsh bitch in me thinks this is a huge attention seeking activity.

What are your thoughts?

Wow basil can’t believe you used someone else’s thread to slip in that you had sepsis last year, attention seeking much?
So he sent a photo, not the crime of the century. You do know that resus is just another part of the hospital and it doesn’t mean he was implying he was at deaths door. There may have been no signal or his battery may have died. Just because you didn’t message your friends until you were better doesn’t mean that he was attention seeking, there isn’t a correlation here 🙄
