821 I Did It All

A car zoomed into the community hospital at Lightning Ridge, and two big miners pulled Blanchett out of the car like a dead dog.

A miner shouted with all his might, "Doctor! Nurse! There is a patient who has been bitten by poisonous snakes! Hurry up! Blanchett was bitten by a snake!"

Blanchett appeared frail but said angrily, "Be quiet, stupid. Do you want to tell the whole town about this stupid thing?"

The miner smiled and said, "Sorry, boss. I'm in a hurry."

"That's a real dumb*ss," Blanchett mumbled.

"Don't be angry, boss," said another miner. "Anger can lead to faster blood flow, then the venom will spread through your body faster, and you might not be able to be saved."

When they heard that someone had been bitten by a snake, emergency doctors and nurses at the community hospital rushed in and used a gurney to push Blanchett into the hospital.
