Thanks

0:01:23.400,0:01:24.940
Oh sorry. Are you Jesper's dad?

0:01:25.100,0:01:29.820
Yes. Thanks. My son Jesper has been hit and should be here at the Emergency Department.

0:01:30.240,0:01:31.720
I don't know - Do you know anything about him?

0:01:31.800,0:01:33.800
Yes. As a matter of fact I do. So I am the person you need to talk to.

0:01:33.980,0:01:36.460
Let us go in here and sit down. Then I can explain what has happened.

0:01:36.560,0:01:37.720
Yes please, let's do that.

0:01:41.980,0:01:42.560
Yes.

0:01:43.440,0:01:45.940
So, Jesper has had a serious fracture in his leg.

0:01:46.300,0:01:53.700
And is currently at the operation table. We have to wait until they finish operating him before we will know the full outcome.

0:01:53.900,0:01:54.960
But he is under general anesthesia

0:01:55.160,0:01:55.800
Yes

0:01:56.040,0:01:57.020
So it will all be okay.

0:01:59.660,0:02:03.360
Then I think you should use the waiting time to contact Jesper's mother.

0:02:03.580,0:02:11.500
Because it is very important that both parents are here after such an ordeal. So that he knows that you both are here.

0:02:11.500,0:02:12.000
Well, we are both here.

0:02:12.800,0:02:17.460
Ohh. But I thought you said that you had not had any contact with Jesper's mother? Your wife?

0:02:18.380,0:02:20.480
Well I have not. I mean, we are his parents.

0:02:21.520,0:02:24.120
Phew it is a little bit warm in here. Do you want me to open the door for a bit?

0:02:30.320,0:02:32.640
So you are his parents? Who are 'we'?

0:02:35.060,0:02:37.460
Yes, well Poul and I are Jesper's parents.

0:02:37.940,0:02:39.740
Hi Poul.

0:02:39.740,0:02:41.780
But doesn't Jesper have a mother?

0:02:41.900,0:02:42.540
Hej skat.

0:02:42.720,0:02:47.820
Yes. He does. But we are his..well.. We are his parents.

0:02:47.880,0:02:49.760

0:02:54.280,0:02:55.120
