That trick never works!
No doubt about it- I gotta get a new hospital.

Was it aflame or something that they had to call in firefighters to catch it? When a pigeon got into the lab a couple of us lowly techs cornered it and got it back outside without any casualties.
Squirrels can carry diseases. They have very sharp claws and teeth. Firefighters have thick, protective clothing that keeps the frightened, panicy animal from wounding them.
Flying squirrels are quite adorable and not nearly as insane as regular squirrels.
Did he get lost on the way to Frostbite Falls?
Well aware of the disease potential thanks being a medical lab drone and all. Our maintenance people also have gloves and coveralls. They could probably handle a squirrel without the need to pull firefighters out of service for a time. Catching a squirrel can’t be more important than rescuing people from a burning building or attending the scene of a car wreck. That’s all I’m saying.
Twice I’ve had bats get into my house. The cats went crazy, running around chasing them as they flew around. I took a big pillow and whacked at them as they came by, finally knocking them out of the air. As the bats lay stunned I put on a thick oven mitt, picked them up(they don’t like that!) and released them outside.
We didn’t call anyone when we got a chipmunk running around our office suite. We just closed it up in the suite hallway, and I captured it using a towel and a wastebasket.
Two days later it (or its identical twin) showed up in the suite across the hall. One of the denizens of that suite called me. Apparently he thought I was now the chipmunk whisperer. I gave him the wastebasket and the towel and wished him luck.
The little bugger (or one of his identical relatives) still shows up in different suites from time to time.
“A hospital spokeswoman said there was no damage to the emergency room and didn’t have an explanation for the hospital’s sudden influx of flying squirrels.”
Heh. Gives a whole new meaning to the ER slang “Frequent Flyer.”
I’m sure that if a call came in for a burning house or a car wreck that squirrel would have been left to the maintenance staff post haste. Which come to think of it might become an issue if the car wreck victims were brought to that ER.
They should have released the flying monkeys to catch it. And then to kill the monkeys, unleash wave after wave of Chinese Needle Snakes. Even though the snakes are worse than the monkeys, there’s a type of gorilla that only feeds on snake meat. The best part is, once winter comes the gorillas simply freeze to death
Just send in the Honey badger!
