I went in, dressed in my Emergency Specialist scrubs, insignias, ID badges etc., and looking embarrassingly doctorish. When I got to the till, I discovered that my sons thievery of my credit card details so that he could play Fortnite, had resulted in my card being suspended and none of my credit cards would work!

I rushed back across the road to borrow some money from some of my colleagues,  only to discover when I got back with a friend’s key card, that the couple behind me had paid the $15 for my frozen dinner and nibbles.

Often we hear about what a terrible place the world is, but this action really renewed my faith in humanity.  

Of course by the time I got back to the shop, the people who had paid had disappeared and I wasn’t able to say thanks to them personally. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them – it would be very easy to say even doctors don’t need a hand every now and then.

Thanks for the opportunity to pass on my thanks, and to let them know that I will pay it forward.
