Man with branch
One August night I turned on the TV and saw, on one of those medical
emergency programs, a man with a branch stuck across his neck.
The man had gone running as usual and did not know how suddenly
a branch pierced his neck and remained stiff between his
trachea and his esophagus.
The man, invaded by vegetation and completely lucid, waited on a
bed while the doctors stunned, did not know what to do.
Finally they decided to risk surgery.
They told him the operation would take from eight to eleven hours
and that they could not assure him a favorable outcome.
They advised him to call his wife and take a moment to say goodbye,
because it was possible that he would not make it.
Then he is entering the operating room.
In the next scene, the man is safe and sound in the hospital bed beside his wife.
Immediately after, the doctor who operated him appears and
announces that he has a surprise for him:
the branch they have just removed with a huge light blue newborn bow.
