priorities people, priorities

Emergency Medical Services : "Ok, we have a 20 year old caucasian male here on motorcycle traveling at approx 25 mph, status/post Motor Vehicle Collision with porcupine. he was swerving to avoid porcupine....no loss of conciousness, was wearing helmet, skid mark about 14 feet, complaining of R shoulder pain, L gluteal pain, and abdominal pain non-specific, GCS score of 15..."

Chief Resident [with British accent]: "That's great, thank you. and how did the porcupine do?"

EMS:" Errr...um... I have a picture here [fumbling for pic]...The porcupine....didn't look like it made it. I repeat, the porcupine did not make it."

Chief Resident[with British accent]: "bloody shame. You got that Phil? Porcupine did not make it."

-I've been meaning to post this for a while. The young man was fine. We mourned the loss of the porcupine.

My mom's Sardinian family would've cooked that shit UP. Too bad you weren't on the scene, Phil . . .
