March Matron

I went to see one of my patients a few months ago. He had a little zip lock baggie taped to the fridge with something in it. From across the room, it looked like it might be partial dentures. I was thinking it was a pretty clever idea, teeth in a visible location, at a time when they might be needed. So I went to take a closer look. It was a dead scorpion. My patient’s response, “That’s right. I killed the bastard then I stuck him up there as a warning to his little friends.” Well that’s even better than teeth!
