Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Nights Spent in a Hospital?

One Of my earliest memories is riding in an ambulance in England, about 1959 or 1960, critically high fever. I remember the cramped vintage inside of the ambulance and the two guys wearing their uniform caps and uniforms and that the siren of the ambulance was a bell. Pretty sure that’s when I ended up having my tonsils out, which was a cure-all back then.

Then here in the ‘States I was hospitalized for three or four nights age 14 when my appendix almost burst. Now they do it through your navel, back then it was a big old Frankenstein scar up your abdomen. I’d do it all again to get more sponge baths from that same nurse 🙂
