Please spare me a couple of lines to convey my gratitude to all the staff at the Emergency Department at Mater Dei Hospital who on Thursday 28 January, late evening, offered all their professional help and assistance following a personal incident. In addition, I would like to thanks all the staff at the operation theatre. Moreover, I would like to thank all the staff at the Orthopaedic Ward 1 where I was recovered for four days. Their service was truly professional, practised with a sense of affection and dedication during all times of the day, with me and the other patients, notwithstanding the difficulties that they face during their work.

I would also like to thank my friends and staff from Garden of Eden Garage who offered their immediate assistance at the time of the incident. Last but not least, I would like to thank all friends and relatives who conveyed their encouragement and support during this moment.
