Yesterday when I went to Cibi there was a small child, maybe 12 months old, trapped in her parents car. Apparently she pushed the 'lock' button at precisely the moment that her mother dropped the car keys in the car and shut the door.
By the time I arrive the girl had realised she was trapped and was crying for her parents, face pushed up to the window. Her parents were outside the car, trying to coax her into pushing the 'unlock' button. 'Beep beep! Push the beep beep!'. Unfortunately she kept going for the wrong beep beep.
One of the guys from Cibi managed to open the car with a coat hanger. I was very impressed. He said, "I feel like superman!"
This reminded me of how satisfying it is to remove an object stuck in a child's nose or ear. I feel like a magician extracting the bead/M&M/mung bean…ta-dah!! The parents are always so grateful.
It's strange how much more satisfying this is than the other more difficult tasks I have to do each day, like diagnosing chest pain or treating sepsis.
