Doctor's appointments are rarely much fun. At best they are brief and you get seen on time. Often you are in for a lengthy wait before you even get to the starting post. Recently, I took my six year old granddaughter to the surgery to have her ankle checked because, budding olympic gymnast that she is, she had hurt it during a training session.
We sat down in the surgery waiting room and were called in no time. Twisting her foot this way and that way, the doctor passed her with flying colours. No problems at all, he said and then he added, to my bemusement, "Do you like magic tricks?" Getting an affirmative answer from Lily, he proceeded to open his desk drawer, take out a pack of cards and ask her to take one.
The usual patter ensued: she took a card, put it back in the pack and, abracadabra,the doctor picked it out correctly. He even offered to show her how the trick wad done.
Who says the National Health Service is not up to scratch?
