Oh no! He's only got a 99% chance to survive the socialist care! He's probably still in the waiting room... :cry:

\"In retrospect, people keep telling me how brave I am, which I'm slightly embarrassed about,\" said McKie, who previously served in the New Zealand army.

\"I'd like to think that anyone in that situation would have done the same or something similar because you can't just sit there and let yourself or other people get hurt.

\"I don't feel particularly brave. I thought: I have to do this to survive.
I agree with him that throwing the grenade back wasn't brave. The brave decision came by being on a roof where people might throw grenades at you!
