Oh, I know, but I do have you for advice, if I'm not quite sure about the
severity of the situation. And, you likely know a lot more about emergency
medicine than you admit to- I've picked up quite a bit from you in our
private conversations- and trust me- it's nice to have a known cool head
near by, if I need back up or help.

Which reminds me- are you aware of a cheat sheet for enmergency treatment
for poisoning? I'd like to have one to put in my kit- I can never remember
which ones to induce vomitting, which ones to feed activated charcoal, and
all that ....

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
