Seems now as if it is not my mortality, but the short remaining life span, of the clown who made the clerical error, and had me all concerned about SOME BODY else's health scare.
Stand down the boarding party, Mr. Mate. Seems we have a shore side patrol to do instead. Find some careless person and squash them.
In sailing terms, I lived before the mast, under training from the age of 15 yrs. Retired as an officer living astern, after nearly 40 years, never, have I been responsible for accident or injury, so much as a scratch, to another person. But, at the mis-stroke of a pen, 2 peoples lives change radically. Many more than that actually, the entire circle of family and friends, of 2 people.
Now I am sort of cross.
Accidents don't just happen, careless people cause accidents.
This one was close for me, what about the other person, if it was a test result mix up, as it now appears to be. Some body else, now has to be told some jolting news. Not good.
