LA1010: Rhonda and Stefan are partners-One day when they are sitting on the sofa, Stefan starts tickling Rhonda:

Rhonda and Stefan are partners. One day when they are sitting on the sofa, Stefan starts tickling Rhonda. For a while she finds this enjoyable but then becomes breathless. As she suffers from asthma, she tells Stefan to stop but he carries on. In attempting to escape, Rhonda jumps off the sofa, as a consequence of which she twists her ankle causing it to painfully swell up. Stefan apologizes and bends over Rhonda to help her up.

Rhonda mistakes Stefan’s intentions and hits him over the head with a rolling pin, causing him to lose consciousness for a few minutes. When he regains consciousness, Stefan is angry and strides over, intending to punch Rhonda.

In doing so he trips and falls on top of her, causing her to suffer a panic attack which precipitates an asthma attack. Stefan takes her to hospital where, due to a medical error, Rhonda is given an overdose of a palliative drug intended for another patient. This sends Rhonda into a coma. She regains consciousness a few days later with no ill effects.
