'Knock yourself out ...'

A great little story from Sarah...

In the surgical bloc, once the patient is anaesthetised with ketamine (which is what is used here), and just before the first incision, the custom is for the team (surgeon, assistants, anaesthetist) to stand around the bed and briefly pray for the safety of the operation, that all goes well, and for the patient's recovery, etc. 

This happened as usual yesterday around the bedside of an anaesthetised man awaiting an operation: but as they closed the prayer, the team was surprised to hear a little voice call out 'Amen' with them...

He must have been praying harder than anyone!
