The biggest cut was so deep and wide that doctors couldn't sew it up. So doctors bandaged Oliver and told him to keep pressure on the lacerations.
Sent him home with no treatment?!? No stitches, no tentnus shot, no mega doses of antibiotics?
It sounds to me as if this guy was out working on his car late at night, had a few too many brewskies, and got his wrist in the radiator fan. A concocted bear story was a better tale for his drinking buddy friends than the truth.
I find myself lucky every time I get to see a black bear at my house, no - not the house in the triangle! We had a beautiful 1-2 year old come through and bend my bird feeders on poles to the ground to have a quick meal. He came up on the porch then to get the one on the railing as I took his/her pictures from 10 feet, neither was scared of the other. Black bears are not grizzlies. But, the heat makes us do crazy things, I guess...
Earlier this year I went to an ER. I was in the waiting area near a window. A man was bringing a woman into the ER. Just as they were about to step on the pathway to the door, the woman had a seizure and collapsed. The person at the front desk refused to leave the building and the intake nurse could not have been more disinterested. The person who brought me in got up and went into the back to demand that someone come see about this woman. They finally called 911 and had an ambulance bring her about ten feet inside the building. Granted, they can't transport her without assistance, but it was VERY cold that day (it was under 30 degrees outside) and it seems like they could have brought her some blankets or something.
Gone are the days when human behavior is dictated by what is right versus the insurmountable fear of being sued all the time.
