That Really Blows

Headline: Camera Captures Tornado Racing Through Hospital

Surveillance video captured a tornado in Americus, Georgia as it approached and swept through a hospital. Power lines arched, and eventually wind, rain and debris rushed past cameras inside the hospital's hallways.

Now, that's what I’d call a surgical strike. Can you imagine the equipment flying around that place? Needles, scalpels, and bedpans – oh my. What a nightmare!

Wet paper-gown contests. Bodily fluid samples tossed all over the place. Coma victims, having no idea what was happening around them. Oh wait, that was Bourbon Street, never mind.

Seriously though, what would they do? Holler out of the back doors for an ambulance? Would everyone be directed to the emergency room? Would their medical insurance not cover Acts of God?

I guess they could set up a triage, especially since they’d have an actual tree to work out of now. Judging from the video, it had to be a mad house in there.

But what I found to be most intriguing about the whole thing is the fact that while a reporter was in one of the rooms, the camera panned across the damaged area, and sitting there - plain as day - was a plastic container filled with urine on the tray table.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t that thing have blown over if a tornado just passed through? I can’t believe the news crew had the audacity to take a piss in the jug before they started rolling. But I suppose a crisis affects everyone differently.

One thing is for sure – that facility will be known as a MASH unit from now on.
