We were laughing about it at the hospital! The doc was sort of a curmudgeon (not really surprising in an ER), but the nurses and helper guy (not sure what they're called) thought we were funny. After almost 30 years together we can find the humor in just about anything
The best was the intake nurse: she was going through the standard questions (name, addy, birthdate, height, etc), clearly trying not to stare at the stick poking out of Mark's forehead. She asked him his weight, then couldn't resist asking, "Does it hurt?" Mark deadpans, "Being fat?" (he's not really--just dad-plump, as my girls say) I've never seen a nurse laugh so hard! We were laughing, too
She twice came to find us back in the rooms, just to check on how Mark was doing and to snort laugh a little more. I think he made a new friend
