Insider Information

Todd has worked in the medical field for-ev-a. Because of that, he has worked with his fair share of nurses, technicians, etc. These people have the best stories ever. I totally majored in the wrong field.

Some of my all time favorites are those he hears from the ultrasound techs. They know the nitty gritty. All those crazy people I see shopping at Walmart? They're also getting ultrasounds. And you can't BELIEVE the stories that have caused them to end up there. I live for these stories. Sad, but true.

This week, a woman Todd works with had a meeting at Baylor. This place teaches doctor stuff. It's a college of medicine. I can't even imagine the good stories lurking in the corners of that place. Anywho, Todd's coworker is waiting for the elevator. It arrives, the chime sounds, and the doors open. And, guess what's inside? A cow. On a gurney. Did you catch that part? A. Cow. On. A. Gurney!

Apparently the Baylor cow had just had a heart transplant. Yup. I'm serious. So what does this woman do? She gets on the elevator. With. The. Cow! The technician escorting the bovine simply tells her, "Sorry, the animal elevator is broken." The doors close and she rode in silence, with a cow that had just emerged from surgery. You simply can't make this stuff up. It's too awesome.

After this story was related, Todd only had one question for this woman. "So, was the cow laying on it's back, with it's feet straight up in the air? Or, on it's side with it's legs hanging over the gurney?"

My life is so darn dull. Moo.

No*Way!!! Who is funding that surgery? That's what I want to know. And I also was wondering how that huge thing allowed anyone else to fit on the elevator. Did he get an answer to that question?? Yeah, what I do each day doesn't compare to the excitement at Baylor.

That's awesome!! I can't even remember the last time I saw a cow in person (at least an animal cow.... :)

So was the cow on its back with the legs straight up? I really want to know.

Thanks for the good laughs, Lisa!
