Doe or Buck?
Okay. True story.
Just happened this week.
The father-in-law of a friend of ours (We'll call our friend "Bubba.") is a guy who has to be really sick to go to the doctor. He'd not been feeling well for a bit, and finally got bad enough to go see about it. He was admitted to the hospital with fever, headache, etc. Apparently the medical folks have discovered that Phenergan (Is that spelled correctly?) can help headaches, so they gave him a half-dose of it, upon the administration of which, the father-in-law immediately passed out and entered into a comatose state. He was taken to ICU. The doctors had no idea what his body was doing or why, but were ready to order all kinds of tests, etc.
Enter Bubba and Mrs. Bubba. After work on Monday, they headed up to see the father-in-law. This was something like a day-and-a-half into the comatose state for father-in-law. They went through the same things others had been trying--talking to him, stroking his hair, talking about the good-looking nurses, etc. Nothing caused any reaction. So Mrs. Bubba said, "Okay, let me change tactics." She went over to father-in-law and said, "Daddy, Bubba shot a deer this morning."
No apparent change, except for three words actually being spoken by father-in-law: "Doe or buck?" He then started pulling the oxygen mask off, etc.
Upon examining father-in-law, the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. They kept him overnight for observation in a regular room. We're thankful he's better, and that Bubba has another story to tell.
This could happen only to Bubba.
