Police: Toddler Will Require Plastic Surgery After Dog Bite

At that point, three of us decided to make it a fun evening by socializing in the waiting room while my wife was being examined. I know that's a really dumb way to spend a Saturday night with friends, but with my wife's excellent health insurance, it was actually a cheaper evening than all four of us going to the movies. Before she was treated, Mary Ellen had to fill out a form. The first part was titled "Victim Information." The second section was labeled "If the Victim Was an Animal," which is either the kind of man-bites-dog story I'm always looking for as a reporter, or if it's a dog-bites-dog story, then I want to be there with a news crew when Fido picks up a pen and fills out that form. The receptionist said there was a long line to see the doctor and requested that Mary Ellen put herself on the waiting list and come back in an hour or so. I told the nurse that the next time my wife needed medical attention like this, we'd try to call about 45 minutes before she planned to torment the cat. Mary Ellen did not think that was funny.
