During the initial exam he asked if anything had happened, and I explained that it happened on a commute when someone tried to go through a red light onto 6th Avenue and that I was pissed. He promptly rolled up his pants leg to show me some road rash and told me that he was rolling into Central Park to do laps before work one morning and he got hit by a guy on an electric scooter! Then when I was checking in at the surgicenter desk, I heard someone next to me say, "there he is!" and it was him in a hi-viz commuting jacket, rolling his Brompton in. My kinda guy.
