It always sort of summarises to almost always non-compatible objects.

Yeah.

So something anonymous and something inanimate.

The croc versus arm, I didn't get.

But the bull versus arm was a phone call I got.

It started mid-sentence, as the dramatic phone calls often do.

You're in the hangar taking the phone.

And I answered it and I just got a kind of a live action in the background of like, get the bull away from him.

How do I give the morphine?

Hello.

And I'm like, sorry, who is this?

Where are you calling from?

Yeah, so the phone calls that begin mid-sentence or with role play in the background are usually problematic.

I grew up in a somewhat medical family.

My uncle and my grandfather were pharmacists and so I had some exposure to it.

My parents told me that it was when I was really young, I swallowed a piece of Lego accidentally trying to get two bricks apart and biting it off and ran into the living area saying, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.

And my great aunt at the time was a nurse and she reassured me and opened the encyclopedia and showed me a drawing of the digestive tract and that it was gonna come out the other end at some point.

And I was both horrified and relieved.

And mum and dad say that since then I was quite obsessed and they used to pull out the encyclopedias.

And then my grandmum lived near a vet a couple of doors up who had his surgical practice literally in the suburbs next to his house.
