PS
The importance of washing thoroughly the wound of a dog-bite with soap and water and not to suture the wound early, should be emphasised.

and I were completely taken aback when our son called to tell us about Tissa.
Oddly, I was sending him an email about Palitha Kohona being recalled
when my son called. C'est la vie! The good die young
I was extremely fond of Tissa from the time he came to do his Residency at Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride. I still recall his trying to help Sujaee Athulathmudali get a Residency (she turned it down) at Hairmyres
I pushed Tissa to do his MRCP telling him that he was too bright to do it at the pace of the "normal" guy and I still recall meeting Mary in London, probably before any of Tissa's relatives or friends
May the Blessings of the Triple Gem be with him
I am too upset to say anything more

Consultants!
|
Why are they so much in demand? The following episode explains why.
The mighty oil refinery suddenly and inexplicably came to a
standstill. The engineers were baffled and the directors were
furious. After several hours of effort to restart the refinery failed, a
consultant was called in.
The consultant went round the silent plant and stopped in front of
a serpentine mass of pipe work and called for a hammer and a ladder. Climbing
up the ladder and looking intently at the pipe work for a few minutes, he
proceeded to give a few firm taps on the pipe work, with the
hammer.
Hey Presto! The refinery was in full stream again.
A week later the consultant sent in his bill for settlement.
It read:
To work with hammer
- £ 5.00
To knowing where to tap -
£ 500.00
Total -
£ 505.00
