I am woken by my alarm, and phone "Z". Here is the 2nd miracle : the doctor has just arrived. He is angry. It seems he feels his time is being wasted by two silly girls over nothing more than flu (or binge drinking). Had I phoned a few minutes later, he would have left. I ask to speak with him. I read him my “French essay”, hoping there are not too many errors in it to confuse him. As I read it, he calms down. When I finish, has asks just one question, which amazingly I am able to answer. He then announces he is calling for an ambulance. He presents "Z" with an invoice (for 70 Euros). She does not know what to do with it, and does not have sufficient cash on her to pay it, so he leaves, angry once more.
Now the girls settle down to wait for the ambulance. Despite "Z" ringing several times, and making angry demands, the ambulance does not arrive until about 9am. They too present a bill (for 55 Euros), which "Z" just about has enough cash for (I later repaid her).
