Exercise 2
One of the most embarrassing incidents in my early career as a doctor happened when I was working in the Accident Department of a large city hospital. I usually cycled to work when the weather was fine as I was trying to lose weight. That particular morning it was just beginning to rain as I left the house but I thought I could reach the hospital before the rain got too heavy. I cycled down the hill, turned in to the main road and was heading for the city centre when the bus in front of me began to slow down. As I moved out to overtake it, there was a loud bang and everything went black. When I came round, I was lying on the pavement and a crowd of people were standing around me. Then I heard an ambulance in the distance and my heart sank. Five minutes later I arrived at the hospital and was carried in the Accident Department on a stretcher.
