Vail Chapter XII - ‘THE PROBLEM WITH RUDOLH” DESPITE NUMEROUS SETBACKS, THE SIMPSONS ARE SURVIVING AS A COUPLE. IN FACT MEGYN IS WEATHERING THE STORM OF THE BRUTAL ANTI GYNECOLOGIC CANCER TUMOR VACCINE AS RECOMMENDED BY A NEW YORK HOSPITAL UNDER A STRICT EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH PROTOCOL. SHE CLEARLY HAS MORE ENERGY AND THE COUPLE IS TALKING ABOUT RETURNING TO A FALL NOTRE DAME REUNION WHERE THEY ORIGINALLY MET. UNFORTUNATELY HOWEVER, AFTER GOING THROUGH RADIATION, CHEMOTHERAPY, AND NOW IMMUNOTHERAPY, MEGYN HAS AGED PHYSICALLY AND IN APPEARANCE. SHE IS CONSIDERING PLASTIC SURGERY WHILE STAYING IN DAVENPORT, INCLUDING AN ABDOMINOPLASTY, FACE LIFT, BOTOX INJECTIONS, AND HAIR TRANSPLANTS. BRADLEY IS OPPOSED TO THE PLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY - AS HE FEELS MEGYN IS FINE AND WILL RETURN TO FORM NATURALLY. HE CITES NUMEROUS HOLLYWOOD STARLETS WHO HAVE IN FACT BEEN INJURED BY THESE PROCEDURES. THE SUBJECT OF SURROGATE PREGNANCY WITH IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER MICKY IS SURFACING AS THE COUPLE PREPARES FOR APPROACHING WEDDING OF MICKY AT ST. ALPHONSUS CHURCH IN DAVENPORT, IOWA - MEGYN’S HOMETOWN. MEGYN IS THE MAID OF HONOR AND BRADLEY WILL BE A GROOMSMAN. RUDOLPH, MICKY’S HUSBAND, HAS BEEN DRINKING CONSIDERABLY AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HANG OUT AT THE HUBCAP. IN FACT, THE HUBCAP HAS INSTRUCTED RUDOLPH UPON RETURNING TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY. MICKY FEELS THE EXCESS DRINKING IS FROM THE PRESSURE OF THE WEDDING - WITH FAR REACHING EXPECTATIONS OF HIS JEWISH PARENTS. SUDDENLY ONE NIGHT WHILE BRADLEY IS ON VAIL ORTHOPEDIC CALL TAKING CARE OF A MOUNTAIN TRAUMA, RUDOLPH IS ADMITTED WITH INTOXICATION AND SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAIN. THE CT SCAN OF HIS ABDOMEN REVEALS PATHOLOGY THAT MAY SET THE WEDDING BACK FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. FOLLOW ALONG AS THE ABOVE EVENTS UNFOLD.
MICKY
YES BRADLEY I’M NOT CERTAIN WHAT TO DO. THIS HEAVY DRINKING IS BEGINNING TO REALLY BOTHER ME. IS RUDOLPH A CLOSET ALCOHOLIC?
MEGYN
HE MAY BE. IN FACT WHILE IN DAVENPORT BRADLEY AND I REALLY DID WONDER HOW WELL YOU REALLY KNEW RUDOLPH.
2
BRADLEY
YES MICKY, HE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU.
MICKY
SO WHAT AM I TO DO.? TRY TO CORRECT A GUY THAT SHOULD HAVE QUIT DRINKING - I MEAN COLLEGE IS LONG OVER. WE ARE NOW ADULTS PLANNING A WEDDING AND FAMILY. THIS ISN’T PUPPY LOVE. IT IS THE REAL THING.
MEGYN
I DEFINITELY KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.
MICKY
OK TWIN, WHAT WOULD THE CORRECT THING BE TO DO BESIDES STRANGLE HIM?
MEGYN
LET HIS MOTHER TAKE CARE OF THIS. JEWISH MOMS NATURALLY TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING WHETHER ASKED OR NOT. THIS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM.
BRADLEY
SO LET’S SEE.....MICKY CALLS RUDOLPH’S MOM AND SAYS THAT HE HAS BEEN DRINKING A TON.....AND THAT WE ARE CONCERNED?
MEGYN
YES SHE DOES. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. HE WON’T BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE NEXT MONTH IF THIS CONTINUES.
MICKY
WHAT IF RUDOLPH’S MOM SAYS RUDOLPH AND I NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS?
MEGYN
DON’T WORRY. SHE WON’T. RUDOLPH IS DEAD MEAT. I MEAN DEAD. HIS MOM IS THE VERY BEST REHAB PROGRAM IF THAT IS WHAT HE NEEDS.
BRADLEY
SO AFTER HIS MOM TAKES CARE OF HIM, RUDOLPH WILL BE A SPOKESMAN FOR THE EAGLE COUNTY TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
MICKY
YES, I COULD SEE HER FLYING OUT THE NEXT DAY, WITH STRANGLING GLOVES, MEMBERSHIP IN AA, AND MEDICATION.
3
MEGYN
WELL THAT WOULD WORK. RUDOLPH WOULD EASILY QUIT DRINKING RATHER THAN MEET THE WRATH OF HIS MOM.
BRADLEY
THAT WOULD BE FAR BETTER THAN ANY ALCOHOL TREATMENT I FEEL.
MEGYN
SO ARE YOU INTENDING TO TAKE ACTION?
MICKY
I’LL CALL HER MYSELF IN THE MORNING.
BRADLEY
THAT DOES IT. YOU’LL BE MARRIED SHORTLY AND THIS WILL GIVE YOU BOTH SOME TIME TO RECONSIDER EVERYTHING IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
MEGYN
BRADLEY YOU ARE FLIPPIN CRAZY! NOW IS THE TIME TO GET RUDOLPH TREATED. DON’T WAIT UNTIL AFTER YOU TIE THE KNOT. IT IS TOO LATE.
MICKY
YES, I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH AN ALCOHOLIC ALL MY LIFE WITH HIS MOM BREATHING DOWN MY NECK ASKING FOR MAJOR LEAGUE PRODUCTION.
BRADLEY
WHAT I MEANT WAS ACTUALLY LET RUDOLPH’S MOM DEAL WITH THIS. MOST GUYS FEAR THEIR MOMS. IF HE IS NOT TOO DIFFERENT RUDOLPH WILL FEAR HIS MOM AND QUIT DRINKING. IT IS SOMETHING IF THE HUBCAP ASKS YOU TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
MEGYN
I STILL THINK IT IS A PROBLEM. I REALLY DON’T KNOW IF I WOULD MARRY A DRINKING GUY NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE I WAS.
MICKY
SO YOU THINK I’M DESPERATE! HMMM. WE NEED TO TALK. I THINK IT IS BASICALLY THE STRESS HE PERCEIVES WHEN HE REALIZES NOW HE IS TO SETTLE DOWN AND BE MARRIED.
MEGYN
BUT THEN ONE DOESN’T BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC AFTER THEY BECOME ENGAGED. SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT. I SMELL A RAT. WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE RUDOLPH. 4
BRADLEY
YOU MEAN BACKGROUND CHECK? THAT WILL BE INTERESTING.
MICKY
OH MY GOD. THAT IS LIKE AT WORK. WE ARE INVESTIGATING MY FIANCEE? I’M BEGINNING TO CRY. WHAT ARE WE TO FIND - ALL THE BLACK STUFF ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL.
BRADLEY
SETTLE DOWN MICKY. I’M CERTAIN THE MOMS OF BOTH PARTIES HAVE DONE A BACKGROUND CHECK ALREADY. IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL. ROUTINE.
MICKY
WELL I LOVE RUDOLPH AND NOW YOU TWO ARE MAKING HIM OUT TO BE THIS MONSTER ALCOHOLIC.
MEGYN
OK THEN. CALL HIS MOM AND LET HER DEAL WITH IT.
MICKY
I WILL, AND I’M OFF TO HOME TO PLAN MY WEDDING AND CALL RUDOLPH’S MOM IN THE MORNING.
BRADLEY
OK MEGYN, WHAT DO WE DO NOW. DO YOU WANT YOUR SISTER TO MARRY AN ALCOHOLIC?
MICKY
DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT BAD? DO YOU REALLY THINK RUDOLPH IS AN ALCOHOLIC?
BRADLEY
I REALLY DON’T KNOW - BUT I DO KNOW THIS - IF THE HUBCAP TELLS YOU TO BEHAVE, YOU BETTER BEHAVE. I CANNOT IMAGINE MICKY LIVING WITH AN ALCOHOLIC AND WHATEVER ELSE - ESPECIALLY IF THEY START TO HAVE LITTLE KITTENS. I WOULD DO THE BACKGROUND CHECK. MAYBE WE SHOULD GET IT GOING.
MEGYN
OH MY GOSH. THE SIMPSONS PERFORMING A BACKGROUND CHECK ON MY SISTER’S FIANCEE! I GUESS WE SHOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO POTENTIALLY SAVE HER FROM SOCIAL, MARITAL, AND FAMILY DISASTER. WHERE DO WE START?
5
BRADLEY
I KNOW A GUY IN MY FELLOWSHIP WHO WAS A FORMER CIA AGENT THAT DOES THESE BACKGROUND CHECKS FAIRLY INEXPENSIVELY. I KNOW WE HAVE STUDENT LOANS AND ALL THAT, BUT IF WE FEEL IT’S IMPORTANT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO IT. THIS WILL BE EASY FOR THIS CIA GUY AS HE FORMERLY CHASED EXTREME COMMUNISTS WORKING AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
MEGYN
SO YOU’LL GIVE HIM A CALL....
BRADLEY
TOMORROW MORNING. I’LL EMAIL HIM TONIGHT.
MEGYN
SHOULD MICKY TALK TO RUDOLPH’S MOM?
BRADLEY
YES - LET HER GET O THE BOTTOM OF THIS - SINCE WHETHER THEY GET MARRIED OR NOT REALLY DEPENDS ON HIM GETTING BETTER. AND IF THEY DON’T MARRY RUDOLPH NEEDS TO GET BETTER ANYWAY.
MEGYN
I’M GOING TO BED SOON. I’M SO TIRED. I LOOK SO AWFUL. BRADLEY I NEED TO GO TO DENVER AND GET THE PLASTIC STUFF IN ONE SETTING – ABDOMINOPLASTY, FACIAL TUCKING, EYE REVISIONS, BOTOX – THE WORKS.
BRADLEY
WE WERE TO DISCUSS THE SURROGATE SITUATION OR UTERINE TRANSPLANT - REMEMBER?
MEGYN
I’M JUST TOO TIRED. I’M ONLY THINKING OF MY TIRED AGING BODY. I LOOK 47 – I WON’T BE A GOOD WIFE BEING UGLY. WHY DON’T YOU TUCK ME IN AND TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH INTO THE STMO - SIMPSON MOBILE TRAUMA OPERATING ROOM. WE’LL TALK BABIES TOMORROW. REMEMBER I WAS A HALF STEP AWAY FROM THE DAVENPORT HOSPICE. I’M NOT TOTALLY WELL YET BRADLEY. AND WELL MEANS PLASTIC SURGERY RECOVERY. I KNOW MICKY BECAUSE OF HER IDENTICAL TWIN STATUS WORKS FOR US BUT I DON’T KNOW IF NOW IS THE TIME TO BEGIN TO USE HER FERTILITY AND WOMAN PARTS WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON AND WILL MOST LIKELY GO ON.
6
BRADLEY
GOT IT. BUT YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER – YOU ARE THE LAST ONE NEEDING PLASTICS. OK THE STMO. THIS TRAUMA DEVICE IS MAYBE GOING TO MARKET AFTER OUR VAIL TEST TRIALS ARE FINISHED THIS YEAR. THUS FAR WE HAVE 20 FIELD TRIALS WITH MOUNTAIN AND SKI RESCUES.
MEGYN
I GUESS I WASN’T EVEN AWARE OF HOW MUCH IT HAD PROGRESSED. INTERESTING. WHAT ABOUT THE OUTCOMES? I GUESS WHEN YOU NEED PLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY YOU CANNOT THINK OR EVEN PAY ATTENTION. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A WOMAN.
BRADLEY
WE ARE ELIMINATING THE GOLDEN HOUR OF TRAUMA TO A FEW MINUTES. AS THINGS NEED TO GET DONE IMMEDIATELY IN THE AMBULANCE, ER, RADIOLOGY, AND SURGERY - WELL WE HAVE OUR STMO EQUIPPED SO THAT WE ARE DOING ALL THIS IN A FIELD SETTING IN A FEW MINUTES – 5 – 10 % OF THE TIME REQUIRED TO EVENTUALLY GET THE NEEDED JOB DONE.
MEGYN
YOU MEAN TAKING THE PATIENTS FROM THE STMO DIRECTLY TO ICU AS IF THEY WENT THROUGH THE AMBULANCE, ER, RADIOLOGY, AND SURGERY?
BRADLEY
YES - WE HAVE ELIMINATED MULTIPLE STEPS AND ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW IMPROVED OUTCOMES SUCH AS RESTORATION OF NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY; QUICKER, FASTER RETURN OF CARDIAC AND PULMONARY FUNCTION; AND GETTING OUT OF BED QUICKER WITH QUICKER RECOVERY TIMES. THE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL DISCHARGE TIMES, PHYSICAL THERAPY RECOVERY, AND RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFESTYLE ALL SHOW STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT.
MEGYN
IT APPEARS MOVING TO VAIL WAS THEN A VERY GOOD THING FOR US. I WOULD HAVE BEEN SICK NO MATTER WHAT. IT SEEMS YOUR RESEARCH NOW WITH YOUR NEW GOVERNMENT GRANT IS REALLY TAKING OFF. YOU ARE FINALLY A RECOGNIZED TRAUMATOLOGIST AND GETTING PUBLISHED IN ALL THE JOURNALS.
7
BRADLEY
ONCE WE PATENT THIS PRODUCT, WE CAN MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE, BUT FIRST WE’LL TAKE A LONG TRIP AROUND THE WORLD. NO - BABIES FIRST.
MEGYN BRADLEY
YES - BABIES FIRST AND WE’LL JUST TAKE THEM ALONG.
MEGYN
SOUNDS GOOD. BACK TO THE STMO. WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO PERFECT THIS MOBILE OR?
BRADLEY
THERE IS SOME POLITICS WITH THIS. FIRST, ANESTHESIA IS LOSING OUT ON A MAJOR TRAUMA CASE. NOT THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO THE SLOPES, BUT IT IS IMPRACTICABLE TO HAVE AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST ON CALL TO TAKE CARE OF THAT ASPECT. SO I’VE DONE THE ANESTHESIA AND THE HOSPITAL GROUP HERE HAS BEEN UNIFORMLY GREAT REGARDING TEACHING.
MEGYN
STUFF LIKE RAPID SEQUENCE INDUCTIONS, OVERALL TRAUMA MANAGEMENT WITH IV FLUIDS, SPECIFIC HEART MEDS CALLED INOTROPES, AND BASIC ACID BASE BALANCE. RIGHT?
BRADLEY
I CAN TELL YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED OR NURSE.
MEGYN
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL TRAUMA TAUGHT ME A LOT.
BRADLEY
ONCE YOU GET A LITTLE BETTER - LIKE NEXT WEEK WE’LL HAVE YOU OUT WITH THE STMO.
MEGYN
I’M READY NOW. ANY BUGS YET TO BE WORKED OUT WITH THE STMO THAT MAY CAUSE IT TO NOT BE APPROVED BY THE FDA?
BRADLEY
YES - THE CT SCANNER IS SO SMALL THAT WE ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING PATIENTS WHO WEIGH MORE THAN 300 POUNDS INTO THE UNIT. BACK UP OXYGEN CANNOT HAVE ANY LEAKS WITHIN THE 8
SYSTEM - BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A CENTRAL SOURCE. DOUBLE TIGHT CONNECTIONS TO AVOID LEAKS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO AVOID LOSS OF ANY OXYGEN - AND WE’VE HAD TO GO AROUND THE PIN SYSTEM IN COMMON USE. WE ARE NOT USING STANDARD YOKES AND D TANKS THAT YOU SEE IN AMBULANCES, ON THE BACK OF ANESTHESIA MACHINES, AND ON HOSPITAL FLOORS.
MEGYN
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS?
BRADLEY
WE’VE HAD TO UTILIZE INSTRUMENT PACKS CONTAINING ALL TYPES OF NEUROSURGICAL, GENERAL, THORACIC, AND ORTHOPEDIC INSTRUMENTS. ONE PACK FITS ALL TYPES OF CASES - AND YOU WOULD BE AMAZED HOW WELL THAT REALLY WORKS. MOST SURGEONS FEEL THAT ONE NEEDS ALL THESE SOPHISTICATED INSTRUMENTS TO DO ALL THEIR SPECIALTY SPECIFIC CASES - BUT YOU REALLY DON’T. IT IS AMAZING - I’VE BEEN ABLE TO DECOMPRESS AN EPIDURAL HEMATOMA ON A SKIER THAT DIDN’T WEAR A HELMET. IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE BY THE TIME WE WOULD HAVE TRANSFERRED THE PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL OR EVEN DENVER FOR THAT MATTER, IT MAY NOT HAVE MATTERED. WE DIAGNOSED, THEN SCANNED AND OPERATED IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. IT WAS ABOUT 25 MINUTES BY THE TIME WE RECEIVED THE CALL THAT THE CLOT WAS OFF HIS BRAIN.
MEGYN
SO IS THAT FAMILY DONATING TO THE RESEARCH FUND?
BRADLEY
PROBABLY NOT. I FEEL IT’S OUR DUTY TO CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE. MAKE IMPROVEMENTS SO OTHER PATIENTS WILL NOT SUFFER FROM INJURIES.
MEGYN
WHAT ABOUT THE MEDICAL AND LEGAL RISKS OF ALL THIS?
BRADLEY
PATIENTS SIGN A CONSENT WITH ME EXPLAINING THE RESEARCH AND PROCESS, AND IF THEY WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL WE ARE ON OUR WAY. MOST WANT THE TREATMENT IN THE WILD OR ON THE SLOPES.
MEGYN
SO AS I SKI BY, YOU HAVE YOUR LITTLE UNFOLDING HOSPITAL RIGHT THERE ON THE SLOPES - YOUR STMO.
9
BRADLEY
ABSOLUTELY. IT CAN BE MOVED BY A LARGE 4 WHEELER, HELICOPTER, SNOWMOBILE, TRUCK, OR EVEN BY SKIS.
MEGYN
SO WHEN YOU ARRIVE WITH THIS LARGE PACK IT UNFOLDS INTO A SMALL CIRCUIT ANESTHESIA MACHINE, OXYGEN SUPPLY, PORTABLE CT WITH ON BOARD COMPUTER AND READINGS INSTANTLY, SURGICAL/TRAUMA BED, INSTRUMENTS, AND HEAT SOURCE.
BRADLEY
AND MANY OTHER SUPPLIES INCLUDING MEDICATIONS, LIGHTING, STERILE WATER AND SALINE, SCRUB SOLUTIONS, AND TOURNIQUET.
MEGYN
THIS BYPASSES TRAUMA NEEDS IN A HOSPITAL.
BRADLEY
NOT QUITE. FOR INSTANCE A VERY DIFFICULT AIRWAY THAT NEEDS A TRACHEOSTOMY WOULD NOT BE DONE HERE BARRING EXTREME EMERGENCY. BUT YES - WE CAN EVEN DO AN EMERGENCY C SECTION ON A WOMAN WHO CANNOT WAIT. WE HAVE O NEGATIVE BLOOD AS THE UNIVERSAL DONOR - AND HAVE ACTUALLY USED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
MEGYN
SO FAR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
BRADLEY
WE’VE DONE MANY ORTHOPEDIC CASES, GYN EMERGENCIES INCLUDING A C SECTION, EYE, NECK, CHEST, ABDOMINAL, AND EXTREMITY TRAUMA. AND YES WE MOVE TO THE ICU MOST TIMES AFTER WE ARE STABLE. IT IS QUITE EXCITING.
MEGYN
SO IS ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A STMO?
BRADLEY
YES - ALL BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY ARE INTERESTED, BUT WANT TO SEE MORE DATA. THEY WANT ITS USE FOR THE MIDEAST AND INTO THE FUTURE. SO I MAY GO TO DC ONE OF THESE DAYS TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE BIG SHOTS OF THE MILITARY AND MAYBE EVEN THE PRESIDENT. WE’LL SEE.
10
MEGYN
HOW HAS THIS GONE OVER WITH THE VAIL MEDICAL STAFF?
BRADLEY
VERY WELL. LOTS OF PHYSICIANS ARE SUPPORTING IT AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATION. THE VAIL DAILY HAS SUPPORTED WITH ARTICLES PERIODICALLY.
MEGYN
OH I DIDN’T TELL YOU THAT A COUPLE OF MEDICAL JOURNALS FROM ORTHOPEDICS CALLED EARLIER TODAY AS WELL AS THE DENVER POST. THEY WANT NEWS. THIS IS REALLY POSITIVE.
BRADLEY
YES, MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAD DOWN TO THE HUBCAP AND CELEBRATE. I COULD USE SOME SPATEN - THE GERMAN OCTOBERFEST BEER.
MEGYN
I HAD A POINT BEER LAST TIME - SOME OF THAT RUSSIAN IMPERIAL STOUT. IT WAS REALLY GOOD, MAYBE A TOUCH BITTER.
BRADLEY
SO I THOUGHT YOU WERE HEADING OFF TO SLEEP?
MEGYN
NO - NOW I CANNOT SLEEP. LET’S JUST HEAD OVER TO THE HUBCAP, GET SOME GERMAN FOOD AND I’LL HAVE MY POINT BEER. AND YOU’LL HAVE A........
BRADLEY
SPATEN - THE GERMAN OCTOBERFEST BEER. IT IS WONDERFUL. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET THIS STUFF OTHER THAN VAIL? EVEN DENVER DOESN’T HAVE SOME OF THE BREWS THE HUBCAP HAS.
MEGYN
LET ME GET SOME DECENT CLOTHES ON FIRST. OH NO THERE GOES MY CELL AND IT’S MICKY. AND............
BRADLEY MEGYN
RUDOLPH’S MOM IS ON HER WAY OUT TONIGHT. SHE IS PICKING HER UP AT DIA IN AN HOUR AND SHE IS ALREADY ON HER WAY. 11
BRADLEY
DOES RUDOLPH KNOW?
MEGYN
NO. SHE SAYS HE’S OVER AT THE HUBCAP NOW. SHE ASKED US TO GO SAY HI!
BRADLEY
BOY THAT IS WEIRD - WE WERE ON OUR WAY THERE ANYWAY. SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTING. MAYBE.
MEGYN BRADLEY
THERE GOES MY IPHONE. OH MY GOD. RUDOLPH IS IN THE VAIL ER INTOXICATED WITH ABDOMINAL TRAUMA. I’M OFF. YOU BETTER STAY HOME. I’LL CALL BEFORE YOU CALL MICKY. SOUNDS PRETTY BAD.
MEGYN
CALL SOON; AND I REALLY MEAN IT! LOVE YOU.
END - VAIL XII
