Folks, I just returned from the hospital intensive care unit, earlier today uncle Tom collapsed on the floor, turns out he is bleeding internally (his colon ruptured).
Anyhow, Dorothy called 911 and an ambulance was sent to our home....
The first medic here started through the front door and as soon as he noticed 7 aquariums in our living room, all with snakes inside them, he ran back out the door!!!!!
Out of the whole crew that arrived, only one medic had the balls to enter our house and help.
They have admitted Tom to the hospital, and he will require surgery to repair his ruptured colon.
But what really has my blood boiling is the stupid fact that we had medics here that were afraid of garter snakes housed in sealed cages!!

They made that poor man come out on the front porch before they would put him on a stretcher (Gurney)
