Rifka is out shopping in the West End of London one very hot and humid Sunday afternoon when suddenly a man faints at the junction between Oxford Street and Bond Street. Traffic quickly piles up in all directions.
Rifka sees the man collapse and rushes over to help him. But as she kneels down to loosen his collar, a man emerges from the crowd, pushes her aside and says, “It’s all right, darling, I’ve taken a course in first aid.”
Rifka stands up and watches as he takes the man’s pulse and prepares to give artificial respiration. At this point Rifka taps him on the shoulder and says, “When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I’m already here.”
