"Just because I'm laid up in hospital doesn't mean that Delbert Wilkins is out of action, right? I'm officially 'crucial' not 'critical'! Besides, this way everyone comes to see me - even Constable Lillie. Yes, Delbert Wilkins is wearing an 'I Heart Hospitals' t-shirt, because he feels he can really operate in them!"
