If you have ever visited a cottage-country hospital during the dog days of summer, you know the wait times will test your patience.
The places become zoos.
Years ago, up in my neck of the woods, a doctor at the Bancroft hospital used to have a bulletin board in emerg which displayed all the fish hooks he had removed during the summer.
It no longer exists. The health department said it was unsanitary.
But it was a hoot. There'd be a Hula Popper, for example, with a note attached: 200 lb. White male, caught on Paudash Lake. That sort of thing.
Sun, sand and surf do not mix well with alcohol. Add in campfires, fireworks, skiing, tubing, jetboats, bees and hornets, snakes, etc., and you have a recipe for disaster.
Triage awaits.
One of the weirdest incidents, according to one doctor I know, occurred when a man was standing up in his boat to take a whizz and got his you-know-what caught in his zipper when a wave threw him off balance.
He arrived at the hospital with his cap over his groin. I asked the doctor if it was a Fish 'n' Canada hat. He said he could not remember.
