, argument about the inevitable
need for medical needlework.
But first, the com had to be tied
in their stalls and fed, then the
milking started. Arrangements
were made for Glenn to stay even

Wouldn’t you know, Bambi chose
this time to deliver her calf. Bad

Still oozing blood after two hours
of barn chores, the wound showed
no signs of miraculously healing so
he could finish the remaining work
at hand.
“Sure, just wait to go have it
stiched when you have time,”
wryly observed his mom, with a
horrified look at the finger when
she dropped by on an errand.
Eventually, calf delivered, the
day’s grease and barn dirt
somewhat dispersed by a quick
shower, he meandered through
York Hospital’s emergency en
trance.
“Mashed finger between a cow’s
head and a pipe,” dutifully typed
the records computer operator.
With a grin, she added, “I like to
make 'em laugh when they read
these.”
During our relatively brief wait,
a rapid succession of sprained and
broken arms and ankles, one ob
viously pregnant lady, a baseball
player sporting a cut above bis eye
and four ambulances bearing an
elderly fall victim and car accident
cases swelled the thin ranks of the

professional attention in spite of
the paperwork involved in such
medical care and the sudden
crowd that had assembled.

precautionary injections later, we
exited the now-calmer emergency
center to return home, the evening
