Forgot to add again in my last post...a couple of amendments...and apologies...
Firstly, ETHAN has been released from the ICU and is now in a normal ward, so that's progressive I guess, nothing much else from that side...
As you can see, I've been spelling his name wrongly, so I do wholeheartly apologise for that...
And lastly, Kate, I'm sorry...my Shoutbox deleted your messages when I was upgrading it for some unknown reason...so i do apologise and I shall now curse and swear on your behalf at the box...*goes off into sweating tangent*
Who Is The Black Chinaman?
- Nick
- Kuala Belait, Brunei
- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
