Darth's? No Hospital & Stitches

[Johnny]

I was heading to Darth's & decided to stop in the gas station for a few healthy snacks ( because gas stations are known for their healthy contribution to the American diet! ).

This is what ensued. ( Thanks to ChrisK for all the great footage :thumbs_up )

Notice the yellow paper stuck to the door, under it is a menacing metal hook :confused:

This hook opened me up like a zipper. Yes, that's my blood on & around the hook

& on the floor...etc....etc....etc....

Here's what I ended up with. There is nothing nastier than ripping yourself open on something in a gas station bathroom :(

With healthy snacks in hand it was off to the hospital we go.

I drive just like this guy but without the sirens or cooperation of my fellow citizens. I always wanted to hear sirens under a bridge from inside an ambulance (one more chapter of my life complete :D ).

The Ambulance driver realized the importance of a fisherman's arm & he decided it would be best to put the pedal to the metal (take no chances :D ) . I agreed as did Chris K , & being that the vote was unanimous, away we went. Fast, fast, fast :D :o :p :confused: :teeth: :confused: :D :D

Here's a clip of the doctor stitching me up. The doctor had a great sense of humor

Luckily they did not have to use this on me

The gas station paid for a Taxi to bring me back to my truck

The end of yet another great adventure.

I'm so glad you're okay!! :t up:

We do have to plan another time to go fishing tho...when you get better of course!! ;)

[Johnny]

We will fish on a day I am not being attacked by gas stations :teeth:

[outdoorgirl]

Sounds good!! :thumbs_up What an adventure you had.

[Bassbuster]

You better watch out from those biting doors. Glad that you are fine, don't want to see one of my fishing partners out of service.

[ChrisK]

Everytime I go out with Johnny its a adventure. :)

I think we had that Doctor in tears while he was stitching you up, looking forward to seeing it again lol.

I bet the station figured you were gonna sue their pants off when you broke out the digital.:shade: By the way, that "healthy" snack is about as healthy as a cut on the arm;)

[Sea-rad]

OUCH!:shocked:
Another satisfied customer of modern medicine.......

Any time I see "Rectal Probe" & "Seimens" in the same sentence, i'm gratefull it has nothing to do with me.

[MrB]

Holy Sheet! That's nasty! That'll put a damper on your fishing plans. Glad that you are OK.

[Choupiquer]
