Write the note on the story of the Surgeon
Answers
Answer:
Robert Sandy was a modest, hardworking man. He worked as a general surgeon in England. He was not at all concerned with fame and riches. Sandy enjoyed his work. One night he was the only surgeon available to work on a young man. The patient had been in a car wreck and had sustained massive abdominal injuries. Robert Sandy worked for three and a half hours to save the man’s life. By the next day, the patient was showing signs of recovery. He was the prince of Saudi Arabia and his associates wanted to move him to a hospital with famous surgeons. The patient said that he wanted to stay with the man who saved his life. Seven weeks later, he met with the prince who offered Sandy money, but the surgeon refused the money as always. Then, the prince gifted him a diamond. Sandy, who was quilted into accepting the diamond, came to know from Harry Gold, a jeweller, that the diamond was worth half a million dollars in the trade. The excited surgeon got on his bike and drove straight home to tell his wife Betty.
Betty was ecstatic. Soon they remembered that they were supposed to spend the weekend at their friends’ house. They couldn’t exactly bring the diamond with them, they would be anxious all weekend. They decided to freeze the diamond in a piece of ice and leave it in the icebox. So after they froze the diamond, they packed up and left for the Renshaws. After a pleasant weekend, Robert and Betty came back to find their house in ruins. Everything was smashed and thrown around. The kitchen was the worst of all. Robert and Betty called the police and told them about the diamond. The police looked, but could not find it.
The next day, two surgeons were operating on a young man who had a piece of something lodged in his intestine. William Haddock and a nurse looked at the object and realized it was a diamond. They used glass to test if it really was a diamond. They took it to Harry Gold to get appraised. Harry realized it was Robert’s diamond, and called him. Robert called the police and reached the jewellery store.
William and the nurse were in handcuffs. They explained to Sandy the story of surgery and the removing of the diamond from the patient’s intestine. Sandy asked the police to release them and asked them to head to the hospital to arrest the recovering thief. The young hooligan John Diggs had evidently made himself a drink in Sandy’s house, and he had swallowed the ice cube in which the diamond was hidden.
