Casualty 19092009

[Mr Dean is speaking patronisingly to a patient while operating on him under a local anaesthetic]

Henry Percy Dean:
I chose to go on holiday to Lake Como because of Pliny the Younger. Have you read his letters?

Mr Hubnar:

Henry Percy Dean:
[to the medical students who are watching] So as you can see, our patient, though untutored in the Latin of the Silver Age, is lucid and free of any pain.
