"Amir, the worst headaches I think I've ever had in my whole life. Completely floored me, I couldn't actually get up without feeling really weird but I'm absolutely fine now.
"Thank goodness, as I kept saying all the time, that I got the vaccine. God knows what I would have been like without that, but yeah, I'm good thank you and thank you for all your help. It's just so good to have you, to know that I've got you and I can phone you up at any time, I'm so lucky."
"Any time Lorraine," Dr Amir replied, before telling her: "It's lovely to have you back."
