What we doctors, in fact, call a tiger. ---

Well, I’ll tell you something, my fine friend, if you fracture a tibia here you keep quiet about it! Look at him! He’s broken both his arms and he don’t go shouting about it, do he? No! 'Cos he’s a man - he’s a woman, you see, so don’t come that broken tibia talk with me. Get on at the double. One, two, three, pick that crutch up, pick that crutch right up. ---
