My Hospital Visit
I had quite a bad mishap yesterday. I found myself in the hospital for a few hours, but I am doing fine now. Thanks to my neighbor for filling people in on what happened to me yesterday. And an order of thanks for crossing out where I keep my passwords for this blog, my Facebook page, and my banking records.
The longest part of yesterday’s ordeal was the wait in the waiting room. The hospital had a policy of taking people according to the severity of the injury. They claim that a boy with “multiple aortic lacerations” was a higher priority than a person with a possible concussion. They also took the woman who lost her pinky even though she wasn’t bleeding and her pinky was seperated from her hand.
I was finally checked five hours after I came in. The doctor asked a few questions, shone a flashlight in my eyes, and let me go. I asked him if I was entitled to any medication. He told me to rest for the rest of the evening and I should be fine tomorrow (which is now today).
The hospital bill was $1500. I started feeling sick. my head was pounding. I realized that my wallet was at home because I forgot to put it in the pants pocket I was wearing after showering. I also had no way home since I forgot my cell phone and my car was at home. It was dark and cold when I finally got back home.
I basically have today and tomorrow to do a week’s worth of work. There will be time in there to fight the cost of the doctor hovering the light from a flashlight over my eyes.

So whatever happened to Ram…he was a kind soul in an unfortunate circumstance…zman sends
Ram was railroaded by a zealous district attorney and is now serving time for kidnapping somebody he freed. I will be discussing the details of the case later this week.
I’m beginning to wonder about your mental stability. As I recall, you had an “accident” before your travels last year leaving you on crutches and now here is another mysterious “accident”. Are you harming yourself on purpose?
David, I am a bit clumsy, like Gerald Ford was. This was actually my third mishap since I started blogging. This is my most recent, but least damaging. There was the hiking incident last year and the shopping incident in 2008. https://ahmnodtheare.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/ahmnodt-heare-involved-in-accident/
