wake up call
My best mate called me a bit back asking if I could take his wife to the hospital because she had really bad abdominal pains (she's a well seasoned drinker).
So I flew down in the car (good job I was sober!) and took her to the hospital. She was about 7 hours in surgery because an ulcer had burst in her bowel. I don't know much about these things but apparently it could have been life-threatening.
Sure does make ya think, don't it?
