I wasn't much older than that when I was knocked down by a car, I was taken to hospital as a precaution, but I was fine.
I remember lying on a bed with a machine above me that was "making me better" (probably a portable x-ray). Even at that age, I was curious about technology.
At age 5 (1958) I vividly remember we all had a hearing test at school. The audiologist had an impressive machine, clamped a pair of cans on my ears and I had to bang a little mallet or gavel each time I heard a sound.
