Title: Turkeys Love Dialysis
Post by: Stacy Without An E on March 20, 2008, 04:22:49 PM
From columnist Chris Smith in our local "Press Democrat" newspaper in Santa Rosa, CA.:

"An asteroid of sorts sure rocked the world of several dozen patients and staffers at a Santa Rosa dialysis center the other day.

It was a routine afternoon at Satellite Dialysis on Circadian Way off Sebastopol Road, when CRASH!  Glass shards flew as something burst through a large window in the 48 station Dialysis room.

It was a wild turkey.  The hen seemed unhurt but at least as awed as everyone else in the room.

A staffer shooed the bird back out through the hold in the window.  And for once, people who endure Dialysis took home a good tale."

I didn't arrive in the clinic until later that day and I didn't believe the story.  We also have bullet holes in our windows so anything can happen at my clinic.  I love the fact that they always place me with my back facing the windows.

The east side of our clinic is about four feet from the roadway so I believe I'll be back in the future to tell you about an incident with a vehicle that took me out while watching "Star Trek II."

Gobble, gobble!
