Okay, my answers to your questions...

Exactly why she turned it all on. Unknown trauma and the equipment is off, make sure everything is ready, in case you have to do films, in case it needs oxygen. It takes a few seconds that animal may not have... I should incorporate some of this in the text, huh?;-)

Yes dear... I'll be working that in... ;-)

LOL... Most men, your DH excluded, are weenies about pain. My DH, who can pass kidney stones at work and keep working, screeches like a little girl when I attack a zit. I was aiming for a little whiny, so she can do something and have something to tease him about, but not too bad. That's why he fainted *G*

At this point, the bites are a bit numb. I used suture scissors to open up a wound on my thumb once and this was the only way I was able to do it. It still hurt like hell, but I got it done.

Thanks!

Yep. A big joke around here is that we try to avoid treating primates, meaning both the hairy kind that some foolish people keep as pets, and the various students and staff here. We still do, but reluctantly on the first group, and on the sly for the second. We aren't licensed to treat human primates.;-)

As an airline captain, they can only fly 100 hours a month. He's just back in so he's likely off for two weeks or more. And he won't have to reschedule his flights because of his injury.

Yes, but in the next scene there is more of an explanation. The tissue samples that have be sent in are brain tissue. And they don't send the whole cat. KnowhatImean?

“I don’t know how you aren’t

LOL... You always pick out things that I didn't write but wonder if I should deal with. Now I know!!;-)
