hides head in shameWhilst talking to an acqauintance, who had just told me he was training to be a paramedic, I scoffed and joked "Paramedic? more like paraplegic". I was greeted by shocked silence and when I turned round I saw the reason why. One of his friends was sitting behind me in his wheelchair, the victim of a skiing accident, paralysed from the waist down. He was almost crying. I was most ashamed of myself ridiculing spackers.
