No one I met at this time – doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients – failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.

This is a very distinctive subset of ‘good luck’ that can be found in A&E departments everywhere. I have had the misfortune of getting ‘lucky’ that way once or twice myself.
