Home Can Be a Dangerous Place

Introducing a discussion on the topic of accidents at home on LBC radio last night, Doctor Gwendolyn Bishop, who has been in charge of the casualty department at Croydon Hospital for the last two years warned of the injuries that can be caused by accidents in the home. Dr Bishop referred to the case of young Richard Fox, who is five years old and has been in hospital since Christmas. While Dick’s mother was busy, he wandered into the kitchen and spilt boiling soup over his neck. Dr Bishop said, "We have treated more than a dozen people for burns caused by saucepans being spilt during the last few weeks. Approximately half of the victims were children. So remember, keep children out of the kitchen while you are doing the cooking."

David Irvin is an actor. He’s never been a star. But he’s appeared in more than fifty films since 1990. Usually he’s played the part of a minor villain, and very often he has become an unfortunate victim of fate. In fact he has "died" in more than thirty films. David said, "They’ve shot me thirteen times, they’ve drowned me twice, they’ve run me over with a car on seven occasions, and I’ve fallen to my death from six high buildings. Apart from that I’ve been burnt to death. I’ve died three horrible deaths from drinking poison. Finally they have exploded the bomb and I had my head torn. However, I must say I’ve enjoyed it all tremendously.
