ChiefScott, I am so sorry that you had such an unfortunate experience snort. But Italian medicine will do that to you smirk. And it was VERY low of the medical staff to make fun of you grin. Not to mention the cabin crew of your flight home snicker. And then your very own dad… ROFLMAO 
That was a superb story, Chief!
Anyone else think that would make a great sig line?

Hey, I might have seen ya as well! I loved the “Which State Is It” because it helped my kids learn about the 50 states.
Many appreciative thanks for telling this completely humiliating story which got lots of folks ROFLMAOAPIMP at your painful expensive. At least, we aren’t calling you “boo boo” or “sweetie pie” or “bumpy pumpkins” or “cutie cuddles” or “fuzzy wuzzy honey bunny”, be thankful for that.
I only noticed two “of those things” in this posting…
Two too many. Laugh it up, ya putzes.
Accidents in Italy Shudder.
Been there, done that, Chief. My Dad was stationed at San Vito in '72, when my sister fell two stories, landing on her hands and knees.
I won’t go into details of her injuries, save to say she was in a body cast for awhile, and has had problems ever since.
We had to take a cab to the hospital with her, and they charged us for the ride; Justified on their part, but a little cold, I thought.
