Here's a great story, though I'm not sure what the moral is:
Not many people walk into a bar and walk out with a new leg.
But that’s what happened to David Huckvale, 42, who needed a £40,000 bionic
leg to walk again.
The father-of-two popped down to his local pub on the same day surgeon
Alistair Gibson, who specialises in fitting the computer-controlled limb,
was there for a pint.
When the two happened to meet Mr Gibson mentioned he had a spare leg and could
fit Mr Huckvale for free.
Mr Huckvale had his leg amputated when he was 29 after a benign tumour was
removed.
Before the chance encounter, he had been limping around in a false leg, which
didn’t fit properly and walked with the help of crutches and was sometimes
in a wheelchair.
Mr Huckvale had read about the bionic leg available in the US and was saving
for one – but had only managed to put away a fraction of the required
£40,000.
