Roderick’s Accident
Roderick had an accident last night. Apparently he walked straight into a glass door. This shattered and cut him. He needed a stitch in his arm and several in his knee. He is pretty cut up.
What really got to me was that he was taken to hospital by ambulance. He was stitched up and discharged at 4 am and asked to? be back? by? 7am as he was scheduled to be operated on at? 7.20am. Needless to say, he was immediately transfered by my parents to a private hospital. My mum called up to cancel the operation as he was transfered. The hospital staff were really irritated and said, “first you screw up taking a bed for us” or rather in maltese “l-ewwel tfoftulna sodda!”. Needless to say my mum was infuriated especially considered they chucked him out when he was due for an operation in a couple of hours!
Thank god for private hospitals!
