There's a little chinese boy out there somewhere with the same christian name as me.
In the early hours of the morning his mother was in labour and having severe complications so we were called in to casevac her from a small island. He was born in the cabin of the helicopter as we taxied in and shut down. His exhausted but happy mother said she wanted to call him after the crew and asked our names. If she did so he has one chinese name after the crewman and one western name after me. Personally very touchng; I felt the same strong emotions as when my own children were born. Must have had the same effect on the crewman and the ambulance man too as there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
