Open letter to a father who brought his son to the ER

Dear Sir,

I'm trying to imagine the circumstances under which your 10-year-old received multiple ant bites on his penis. Enlighten me.

Thanks so much,
St. Murse

    Maybe he was wearing short-shorts with no undies while sitting on an anthill?

    In the interest of maintaining some level of anonymity for the hospital, I won't reveal where I work.

    And as I've noted before, I alter some combination of the sex, age, name, and time of visit of the people I write about here. The essential elements are all true, but of course I protect the identities of the patients.

    Further, however odd or unique these instances seem, to hear the other staff members tell it, nothing I've written is all that uncommon.
