DOCTOR’S STOICISM
DIRECTED OWN FIRST AID The stoicism of a doctor who fell and broke his leg in Peter Street, Manchester, diagnosed his injuries and superintended the application of first aid aroused the admiration of hundreds of people. He is Dr. John Chapman of Bramhall. While passing the Gaiety Theatre he slipped on an iron grating and fell heavily. “1 have broken two bones in the lower leg,” he told a constable who went to his assistance. “Can you borrow some splints?” First aid materials were borrowed from the Y.M.C.A. close by, and on Dr. Chapman’s instructions the splints were bound on him. Dr. Chapman was then taken to the Manchester Royal infirmary in an ambulance and detained.
