You know you’re in rural Nebraska when…

November 16th, 2006 by Sarah

Hello from Gordon! Just a few things I’ve noticed in the last few weeks:

1. The beef selection in the supermarket is better than the produce.

2. Patients aren’t “admitted to the hospital,” they’re “put to bed.”

3. “Dinner” is at noon and “supper” is at five.

4. Over half of your trauma cases involve some sort of livestock.

5. When you ask people to describe their diet they answer “steak.”

6. You might actually see tumbleweeds on your way to work.

7. “Cowboying” and “doctoring” are verbs.

8. The men have just as much foot trouble with their high heels as the women (on their cowboy boots, that is…).

9. “Creek” rhymes with “brick.

10. Your patient comes in reading “BEEF” magazine.
