It started out like any other day in the ER. Plenty of people with chest pain and belly pain. Maybe a few shortnesses of breath and car accidents mixed in. Then all of a sudden the syncopes started rolling in.
No fewer than eight (and probably closer to ten or twelve) little old ladies passed out waiting in line at the Obama rally here today. Most of them were fine. Maybe a little dehydrated, got some fluids, a crappy sandwich and sent home. But, damn, he must have been whipping them all into a frenzy!
Where were you? There were at least 2 of those *during *his 30 minute speech in Greensboro, NC on Saturday. He worked it right into his speech “Can we get an EMT up here? Give them some space. I’m sure they’ll be alright. Thank you.” And right back to the politics.
I was only aware of the ones during the actual speech. And I was way too far back to actually see anyone (and there were about 2 blocks more people behind me!). It wasn’t even particularly hot out, but they did make people walk a tremendous loop around downtown to get to the venue.
