How long is a Piece of String?... ooops Cable?!




At the conclusion of our week of heart surgery we had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Nairobi. Cliff, our 'perfusionist', held a sweep-stake where we all had to make a guess as to how long the cable was from the maintained power socket to the Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass Machine in theatre. We all put a £1 into the pot.

Ivy won! It was 29 metres or 95 feet!
