Arriving at surgery at 3 PM, I find the whole building in darkness. An electrician is under the stairs, ferreting around in a mysterious way and demonstrating a magnificent workman's cleavage.
It is tricky enough to conduct a surgery when the computers are down, but if the patients themselves are barely visible, it does, shall we say, present something of a challenge to even the finest physician (and I am not the finest physician, believe me)
The first patient proved to be an old friend who is partially sighted, so it is possible she didn't notice. And thankfully, by the time the next one came to see me, the power had been restored.
