Erm, well..... they were taking him by helicopter, so the hospital at Leeds was quite possibly a very negligible extra distance away, plus it may be the only one around that has a helipad.

IIRC correctly it is. And all the major hospitals in Leeds are teaching hospitals as well.

The message from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words:

I had to google to find out who he was!

I'd have the same problem with football players. I've heard of David Beckham, but I couldn't name any others. Mike.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mike G" saying something like:

I certainly don't wish him any harm and would hope he recovers sufficiently to lead a fairly normal life, same as anyone else in that situation. But, as I said, I've never met him, don't know him and his accident doesn't mean that much to me.

As Mo says to Homer, "I'm a well wisher, in that I don't wish you any specific harm".
