When Sara became ill.

Mike and Sara were married only for a year when Sara suddenly became ill. It all happened without warning. Sara just woke up one Sunday morning and told her husband she felt terrible. The evening before they had gone to the cinema. On the way home they had stopped at a restaurant for dinner. It had been a normal Saturday evening. When she woke up the next day, Sara said she felt terrible.

“You’ll feel better after a glass of warm milk”, he said to Sara, but she didn’t. She couldn’t even drink the milk, so Mike went downstairs to phone the doctor.

Now Mike and Sara live in the country far from town. Most doctors don’t make house calls, but because Mike was so far from a hospital and sounded so worried on the phone, the doctor said he would come out to where they lived.

Shortly after Mike phoned, the doctor arrived in his car. He was a big man, about 35, and carried a large, black bag. Mike took him upstairs to the bedroom.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to see your wife alone”, said the doctor.

“Oh, yes, okay”, Mike answered politely.

The doctor walked into the bedroom and closed the door. Mike stood waiting nervously outside. He heard the doctor say good morning to his wife and ask her some questions. Then there was silence. After a couple of minutes the door opened, and the doctor came out.

“Could you get me a large knife”, he asked, “a very sharp knife, please, if you have one?” Mike ran downstairs and brought back the big knife from the kitchen.

“Thanks”, said the doctor and went back into the bedroom closing the door behind him. Again there was silence for a couple of minutes. Then the doctor suddenly came out again. This time he asked for a hammer. Mike was very nervous by now, but he ran downstairs and came back with a hammer. The doctor went back into the room again and closed the door behind him. Five minutes later the door opened, and the doctor came out.

“I’m sorry”, he said, “but I’m afraid I need a large saw”.

“A saw!”, shouted Mike. “Shouldn’t we go to the hospital for something this serious? What’s the matter with my wife?”

“I’ve no idea”, said the doctor. “I’m still trying to get my bag open”.
