Heard an interesting story about a client that passed out in camp one evening. The client's PH wasn't sure what to do and thought his client might be dead. So lacking any other prescription the PH pokes his client in the eye to see if there is any reaction.

No reaction but the client did come around to consciousness a bit later. The client was probably lucky he didn't wind up in the salt! Smiler

I could just see my PH standing over my prone, dead body, sticking me in the eye with the end of his Rigby barrel, "Yep, he's done."

I laughed my ass off over that story. And who says you are just a client with a dollar sign on your forehead? Wink Smiler

Proves that most ph's are highly trained in medical evaluation/treatment and emergency response!

I suppose most times the PH walks upto a dead critter he touchhes it in the eye, so why should the client be any different??

The questionis whether or not the PH would have opened fire onreflex if the client had reacted!!

Here's the question, when the client is dead, does the PH take photos with him and then have the boys cape him out for a shoulder mount?

What's the dip and pack fee for a client? What if the client's wife doesn't want to pay shipping, do you just take a picture of him with a stick under his chin holding his head up?

Ganyana probably teaches that technique in his "Medical Emergency" course in PH School! Followed by "and if he blinks, plug 'em!"


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Will,
That is very funny. animal

It might be even better if some more of the story was told.

Surely the PH had good reason to be testing corneal reflex for integrity of the ophthalmic sensory division of the 5th (trigeminal) cranial nerve, and higher centers.

Was the client drunk or impaired in some other way?

Did the PH use a sterile wisp of cotton, his finger or the barrel of his Rigby?

What is the PH's medical specialty?

There is so much more of this story to be told.

Yeah, I want to know who the PH was...Rex? No, that sounds more like Buzz except he would be the one getting poked in the eye.
