Send her a get well card...jeez its like £1 and doesnt involve any effort or emotional contact I (like the phone could). Send the card, knowing you've done the right thing, then forget about her until she makes contact with you.
This is so simple that its worrying a post has been made. The phone call out of the blue could be awkward, and judging that you've had to make a post out of this, you'd probably not shine...

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but this reminds me of how people use the 'my chances of dying in a car accident are way higher than that' argument to make other things look out to be hardly dangerous.
When really they should think about the fact, that about 40,000 people die in car crashes in the US in 1 year. That is something like 1 in 7,500 people dying in a car crash each YEAR in the US. If you do the maths after figuring in how many years the average person lives - say 75 years, that means about 1 in 100 people will loose their life in a car crash. (leaving out the number of people left handicapped or crippled after bad car accidents).
Yet everybody considers driving cars relatively low-risk, mostly because we're just so used to driving.
Plus many people think 'I know how to drive so that wont happen to me'. I dont want to get technical, but I bet in a large percentage of those tens of thousands of serious car crashes that happen each year, there are 2 cars or more involved and you probably wouldnt be able to do anything about it.
But don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna say 'never set foot in a car again' or anything like this. Actually I drive myself and I know there are tons of other risks in life, but I just prefer living downtown in a city, where you can easily do most things without needing a car (other than going to the supermarket, the gym or the movies of course), that way driving isn't all that risky. Plus if I move to another city, which I plan on doing Ill definitely choose one, with a good public transport system.
I know thats far easier in Europe than in most US cities, but honestly think about it..people I know are scared to death, that they might have caught HIV from having unprotected sex once (yea they should be) and are worried about flying with bad unsafe airlines (I wouldnt fly with one of those either) which are risks of 1 in a few 100,000....yet they never really get scared of driving or consider using public transport more instead of driving (even if theyve had a car accident before in which they got injured), when it's really the biggest risk of all.
just something to think about...I know many ppl will want to flame me for typing this

Fained sympathy isn't worth the effort expended. If you truly care, let her know proportionately. If you don't, why fake it?
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

you're so hot... i love a girl with chipped teeth and cuts all over her body.Berlex said:
Oh for f*cks sakes.
Forget about flowers. Forget about calling her. You are her EX for god's sakes.
The only APPROPRIATE ways to handle this situation is one of two ways, you can either:
1. Ignore it entirely
OR
2. Send her a sympathy card
or secret option number 3:
You can GO SEE HER AT THE HOSPITAL. Just drop by, say you heard about the crash and wanted to see if she was all right and then go. Don't hang around, just make an appearance and go.
I'd go with number 2 for an EX.
