Just got back from seeing an 83-year-old man off in an ambulance after he fell and hit his head when his dog lurched for ours by the seafront. He’s hopefully going to be all right; was conscious and talking and is going in for a brain scan now.
Apart from being a little shaken up, it made me appreciate yet again that we live in a place where you can call an ambulance for someone without causing their financial ruin. (And where folks stop and help – thanks Audrey, Robert).
