Probably not what you’d like to hear but being present at, and assisting in an abdominal/perineal excision of rectum. A huge piece of surgery which revealed just how fascinating the internal workings of the human body are to me.
Assisting in the delivery of a baby (first class, I’ll say it before anyone else does).
Being there when an eight year old girl with profound and multiple learning disabilities took her first ever steps.
Realising that the old man in the corner of the ward was being uncooperative because, for want of a better phrase, medical experiments had been carried out on him in a concentration camp and he was having flashbacks.
In a Chipmunk at 14 when the pilot says “You have control.”
Thanks to the support and encouragement of a number of people, realising that the fact my legs are now bordering on useless doesn’t make any difference at all to who I am.
All pretty mundane really compared to some people’s experiences.
