Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Mt. Carmel ER story/endurance is not for snivelers

I can't believe that anyone (at least those who've been on Ridecamp for a
while) couldn't tell that Karen was putting a humorous slant on her ER
story.  I was laughing so loudly it startled my dog and cats.

Several years ago, after I broke a rib in a riding accident and was having
trouble breathing and was in danger of blacking out, I had a truly
delightful encounter with an ER doc.  He walked into the curtained enclosure
and starting ranting about how he just could not understand how anyone would
"climb up on a thousand pound animal with a brain the size of a pea."  I
told him to knock it off and get on with business.

A year later, it was a great relief that the ER nurse and doc who cared for
me turned out to be riders themselves.  We talked horsey stuff as we
reviewed the x-rays.  LOL
