We headed off a couple of days ago to Vicuna, a valley famous for UFOs and a lot warmer than Santiago. Whilst we were there Roland stubbed his toe and over the course of the 2 days talked himself into a fractured toe joint. We are heading off to Easter Island tomorrow so, you can imagine how bad it was looking.
As soon as we arrived back in Santiago, Roland who was by now dragging his foot behind him and walking slower than a coffin bearer, insisted on going to the hospital.
So, in we went. It was clean efficient and we were seen within 10 minutes of our arrival. The Doctor we saw is moving to Nottingham this year, so we has a good chat about the Midlands and if he wanted to rent a nice house in the country.
Good job we had so much in common with the Doctor as the actual consultation lasted 2 minutes. There was no x ray and a fracture was as likely as a UFO in the Pisco Valley. I had to pay the bill as our joint account cards didn´t work.
Diagnosis....................GOUT! (fat knackers disease!)
