A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Don't fuck with Bambi.
You have found someone who just encountered my biggest fear. Getting mauled by the wildlife while running.
I once saw a moose run into a moving car. There was a lot of damage. To the car.
sounds very similar to this http://digitaljournal.com/article/312615 - just a different continent...
He wasn't a grandpa and they weren't reindeer I hope, I sense a new holiday season sequel song coming.
I totally thought you were commenting on the deer parts lady.
Is there some kind of deer rebellion going on these days?

(Sorry. I can't remember how to make a proper link.)
Mountain bicycle rider hit by a deer - Video 1:15
Grandpa got run over by a (rein)deer
I hope those deer were insured.
I worked for a client in New Hampshire some years back, and they held a safety briefing for we contract workers. One of the things that they warned us about were deer running in front of vehicles. A greater danger, but rarer, were moose. Car versus deer, usually not fatal to driver. Car versus moose, the driver has a much better chance of being seriously injured or killed.
The one accident that one of us had with a moose, the pickup truck was destroyed, and he was still in rehab when my assignment ended. It made an impression.
YIKES.....poor guy!!! Wouldn't you think they would be scared of him and run away instead of RIGHT into him!?

Man... I can't imagine getting dispatched for that call... Would take the cake. Sad he's in critical condition.
Watch out for those hooves.
My undergraduate college had more deer than humans...outnumbered us 3:1. The deer were very used to us but not tame. It was common to see huge herds of deer when you walked to class. My horse used to herd deer in the pasture. They were so used to humans that they would wait about 20 feet away when I fed the foals. The deer and the turkey would fight over the left over feed.
However, if you got between one or two and their herd, it was pretty dangerous. One of my friends was only about 4'9" and when a deer got caught on the quad between class change, she was the shortest one so the deer jumped over her head, winging her in the process. She was lucky...just a bit taller and she would have a broken neck.
This happened near me. The news said he waited for 12 deer and then began walking again. He didn't see the next three and one hit him. Poor guy is 65 and still in ICU. Hope he makes it.
I knew someone else that died after a deer came through the windshield and kicked him in the throat.
Moose was God's draft copy trying to make a horse. He couldn't throw it out so he left it as is and went on to make a much better animal.. the horse.
Oh deer!
Should have been wearing dog tags, or Medic Alert, or Meat Tags (tattoo) or something identifying. "We have a pt, "John Doe"..."
I read somewhere that moose kill the most humans every year out of all other animal species. I suppose deer may apply. Did you see that youtube video of a deer attacking the hunter?
Back when I worked in Yosemite National Park, none of the Black Bear had killed any humans (there may have been 1 or 2 since I left); but there had been several fatalities by the Mule Deer.
Guy puts his baby daughter on the deer's back to take her picture.
Another guy was feeding deer potato chips, the bag ran out, the deer wanted more, he was struck in the chest and killed.
Please do NOT feed the wildlife in our national parks; it is unhealthy for them, and dangerous for you.
wv: asper ==> short for someone with asperger's syndrome.
Moose are a darker shade of dark on a dark road. If you must collide with one, aim for the hind quarters.
A couple of months ago, my hubby walked out of our house, and before the motion detecting lights came on, he was run over (tackled) by a deer who was spooked by him walking outside. He didn't even see it coming. Luckily he's an ex-football player so just 'went with" the tackle. But he's lucky he didn't get a hoof or antler to the face.
OMG These stories are horrible and tragic!!!! :( :(

Last year had a deer charge out of the brush beside the road and strike the side of my car. We weren't hurt, but the wheel well area was crumpled in and couldn't drive the car. The deer got up and kept going.
I knew someone once who tried to kill a deer with a rabbit.
(A VW rabbit)
Those of us who live in frontier or rural areas are not surprised. Worse during the rut...the males are so "pre-occupied" that they can run in front of you and NEVER see you if they are in hot pursuit!
Deer version of "thinning the herd".
Reminds me of the story of the guy who asked Ohio police to move the deer crossing sign to another location since deer and cars where getting hurt/damaged on the highway to Cedar Point. We had a herd of 12 or so around us and sometimes they will just bolt across the road without regard to traffic.
Anon 8:01, John Doe would be a transgendered deer, right?
The difference between hitting a deer and a moose with your car is that if you hit a deer, you get him with the grille/radiator and destroy your car, but can remain uninjured. A moose is so much taller than a deer that when you hit them, the hood of the car goes right under the belly and you get him with the windshield instead.
wv: "alicklu". Has something to do with salt licks?
@ Andrew 12:04.
I had to watch that video since I almost got smoked by a deer out mountain biking one time. Jumped across the trail in front of me just missing my front tire. Scary to see what could have happened if he hadn't just missed me.
Looks like a yak in bucks clothing to me...
quite common in Canada actually!
