Our family has a penchant for passing out. I think almost all of us have participated in this sport at one time or another, some more than others. Two triggers- excessive heat, excessive squeamishness.
One time, one of you had to have stitches- another favorite family pastime- so our family Pediatrician, Dr. Guard, had the injured party on a gurney in the ER at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, CO. Pretty soon, one of you "survivors" keeled over and hit the floor as you were watching. Dr. Guard summoned the nurse to call for another gurney to be brought in. In the blink of an eye, another one of you bit the dust, and Dr. Guard had to call for another gurney to be brought into the room. And then again. And again. Five gurneys lined up in a row. Wish they'd had video cameras or even cell phone cameras back in the day. It was like Dominoes. Doctor bill=hundreds, ER bill=hundreds more, full house fainting spree=priceless!
