They were amazed to learn that it was me who called the ambulance.<br /><br />The bloke was face-down on the pavement, and neither me nor the nurse wanted to turn him over - not that it would have helped.

It involves the death of an Irishman from falling off a high building and me calling an ambulance, then watching him die before the ambulance arrived, in the company of a nurse who happened to be passing at the time. Now you know why I am - uncharacteristically - keeping a bit quiet about it.<br /><br />Anyway, I didn't eat enough and I am now feeling weak.
