Second interviewer:

Name: Lam Wai Man (a secondary school football team player)

His opinion:

   Lam is a football player and he had a serious injury on his ankle and it made him out of play for 4 months. At the time he knew he has to rest for a few months, he was deeply frustrated because at that time his team is about to play an important tournament and he was the starter of the team. So he worried about his injury very much and always keeps asking the physiotherapist about his recovery progress or when he can play. When he saw his team win matches without him, his reaction is even more vigorous. He had a serious argument with the physiotherapist and finally he decided not to follow his instructions because he think that his ankle is ok but the physiotherapist told him to rest for three more weeks. He can’t wait to get back to the court, however, he got injured again in an mild crash with his teammate and he is still resting now.
