We Are All Dead [PDF]

I was transferred up the motorway in an ambulance to the hospital that specialised in this new form of operation. The operation was recommended by a chest specialist in Northampton hospital. At the time my parents were out of the UK on holiday. I had agreed with the consultant that he had permission to film my operation to help the knowledge of this new medical technique. When I spoke to the Nurse before taking the pill, which would knock me into unconsciousness so that the operation could be done. I said “I was worried that I might die under the operation without having a chance to speak to my parents”. Her reply struck me as odd at the time. She said “You are already dead!”

Some years later I know fully understand what she meant it is not just me who is dead but you also the reader of this.
