JUST-IN-TIME kidney transplant.
Pharmacy deliveries often seem
to be managed just in time, but
hopefully not in life-threatening
situations like this one.
After waiting 12 years on the
transplant list, Robert Barbour,
48, received the long awaited
call to Tampa General Hospital at
5.30am, so he and his girlfriend/
carer hopped into their truck and
headed off.
According to Yahoo! News,
Murphy’s Law struck them with
a tyre blow-out a few kilometres
from the hospital, but with time
not on their side, they carried on
driving on the rim until finally the
police came to help them.
With only three minutes to get
to the hospital, the police pulled
all stops and with sirens blaring
delivered the patient just in time,
the publication reported.
NUCLEAR fitness.
Not just an active brain is
needed for the Australian
Nuclear Science and Technology
Organisation (ANSTO), apparently.
Australia’s national nuclear
research and development
organisation, and the centre of
Australian nuclear expertise,
has put up a tender on the
government tender website
for the provision of a corporate
health and fitness program.
ROYAL quandary.
In Australia, you don’t have to
worry too much about bumping
into a royal descendant.
But one distant section of
aristocracy in England has
challenged the burial of Richard
III’s bones in Leicester’s cathedral.
Stephen Nicolay is reportedly
the king’s 16th great nephew
who, with a group called the
Plantagenet Alliance, claimed the
UK government did not consult
widely enough the wishes of
Richard or his living relatives, AP
reported.
Britain’s High Court, however,
ruled there were no grounds to
overturn the govt decision, it said.
