BOB'S EYE VIEW
THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE AND THE EMERGENCY ROOM
Believe it or not, there is a hospital known as the Turtle Hospital, located in Marathon in the Florida Keys.
A few weeks back, the Miami Herald reported that a loggerhead sea turtle, looking remarkably like Rush Limbaugh, arrived on its own at the hospital. Ryan Butts, the administrator at the 25-year-old hospital, said it was the first time that a turtle had actually tracked them down and showed up at their doorstep waiting to be admitted. Really? I would think that turtles show up on their own all the time seeking medical attention.
Perhaps the turtle used a GPS navigation system to locate the hospital. Perhaps the turtle took a taxi to the hospital. I just hope the turtle had the proper insurance and was covered by Medic-Hare.
One thing the article did not mention is how long the turtle had to read magazines in the waiting room before finally being seen.
SEE YOU SOON.
