My wife and I have been crying with laughter about a story my wife heard at her breakfast club this month. A mutual friend and her husband are a wee bit overweight.....they are big people. Well the wife is in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher when their dog was getting frisky and the wife turned slipped and fell back into the open dishwasher.......which happened to have a butcher knife which promptly proceeded to put a pretty good wound right on her anus.
Now both of these people are professionals, and very religious. However, the bleeding was significant and they immediately decided to pack the wound and go to the hospital.
Well on the way to the hospital they both got the giggles.....I mean the giggles that you get in church when you are not supposed to be giggling. The wife is in pain but she is literally crying with laughter and her husband is weak in the knees with laughter.......they get to the emergency room crying with laughter when they are asked what happened.......the staff immediately asked to separate the couple and they take the wife in a room an examine the wound. While they are examining the wound a staff member is taking a statement from the husband on what happened. As they are working on the wife they ask....."Do you feel safe at Home" and the wife almost crying with laughter said no.......thinking it was funny......and hour and a half of intense questioning later they were able to leave, and they realized that perhaps they should have been a bit more circumspect and controlled when discussing her wound, and certainly a funny answer of "no" to a question which set off red flags only compounded a terrible evening.
Staff are being trained to view any potential abuse very carefully, but in HINDSIGHT it was funny.
The husband having not had enough of the fun was at a party the next week when they approach a mutual friend who is a doctor and the husband asks the doctor very seriously.....hey if you get a chance could you ask my wife if you could look at her wound........needless to say there was a not too happy wife, and an embarrassed doctor who got set up by a husband who almost found a jail cell because the two of them could not stop laughing.

---Im sorry but I cant help but laugh-- 
--But on a serious note I took my daughter into the hospital when she was little and the doc said he would have called children and family services but didn't because I was so upset , he said there was no way I could be a bad parent or abusive he said I was crying to much. A dresser fell on my daughter after her playing with the drawers , she was trying to open a drawer and the whole dresser fell over , she cried at first then got silent scared me to death But when I ran and put her on the couch she looked fine ,and then she made a sound I was so glad to hear any sound--- but she had a red patch on her stomach , I ran to her room and started throwing the dresser off her like superman.
