Grammar is always forgiven at 3 AM. My dear lady has too many years as a nurse not to laugh; she's forgiven.

Another emergency night, she was cutting the slacks off a guy to prep for emergency surgery after a car crash; she felt this really *large* thing hanging down next to his leg.

Turned out to be a small salami, taped inside his leg, he later reported, to "impress the girls at the wedding".
