Chocolate Chip Cheesecake... with Nuts in the Crust R S Christoff

How do you highlight just one comical story from the Emergency Room? You don't. Take for example, our patient in "I've got a Rumble in my Tummy". So there we all were, standing around at the nurse's station looking at the x-ray of an abdomen and pelvis, on the screen, and seeing what appeared to be two walnut-sized objects near the bottom of the patient's x-ray. Several of us wondered aloud as to how those objects got up there in the first place, but that wasn't important. Our thoughts focused on how those foreign bodies were in an odd place on the x-ray. That was, until the doctor moseyed up and drew out the outline of the object in its entirety. We all became speechless. Or, a sensitive patient in "Sly and the Three Ring Circus" was anything but the greatest show on earth for Sly. And, somehow I single-handedly got blamed for a volcanic eruption in Iceland, according to one Air Force Colonel. These and many more stories can be found in the pages of Chocolate Chip Cheesecake...
