There were no fluffy cows to pet so she went for the next best thing.

It's all about the pancakes, people.

Teehee.
As a post graduate student I did a clinical rotation in X-ray at a small rural hospital in Iowa.
Nothing happened first 2 nights and I was worried that I would have nothing to get evaluated on.
County coroner called and said be ready. Brought in a body bag on a gurney. Said “I need X-rays”.
Stupid me. I had studied all the positions and set up etc. I said how? He said doesn’t matter. Head, thorax, whatever. Just give me some views.
When we started getting the wet films out of the processor (pre digital) they were a mash of a farmer that was killed by his bull.
I had worked around cattle but that gave me a new appreciation for what they can do.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

Guess the movie

Quote
    Harry Monroe: I'm a clown, see? I shoot the firecrackers and the soda water. There's a little car that pulls up and there's supposed to be like 10 midgets in it. They all get out...
    Blade: That ain't no rodeo clown! A rodeo clown is the most *dangerous* job in the world! He's the one that gets *closest* to the bull. He gets the *best* of the bull! *Hook* to the left! *Hook* to the side! If the bull rider is in *danger*, he's gotta protect him! Even if it means gettin' his *ribs* pulled out and bein' freight-trained.
    Harry Monroe: Freight-trained!
    Blade: That's right. Run over, just like a freight train, only with a *bull*, it's worse! Cause a freight train don't back up and finish the job. Later on I'll show you the proper way to lie on the stretcher when they come to pick you up.
