Your severed ear in a clean hanky!!!!!
I waited there from 8pm until 3-30am. She couldn't be choppered in (did I already say that?) because too many people were smashing themselves up. She had to be flown in via a fixed wing plane to Essendon and ambulanced in.
Co incidence. Young man in her two bed ward who broke his neck in a fopotball game, his father is an air traffic controller at Essendon.
Anyway as I waited and waited I was getting a bit cross with anyone who was carelessly smashing themselves up so my daughter had to wait and then had to risk the slower route.
As she was rolled out of the ambulance she heard on their radio that there was a car rolled just around the corner with 4 unconscious.
I couldn't help but feel that it might have been one of the cars of careless youths accelerating away from the emergency department after they had dropped their legless mate off.
A couple of days later I met a man who had been choppered in coming down to the Smoke Zone for his first cigarette after 2 weeks in a coma. It was his second time choppered in, and as he is now brain damaged I can't help but feel it won't be the last.
He really enjoyed his first cigarette after 2 weeks in a coma, got quite dizzy, stared at the sky for a bit, and his wife led him back to the ward by the tape on the back of his hospital gown.
Oh sometimes it can be a very strange life indeed.
So glad the dog wasn't put down. Look at it this way. It could have swallowed your ear. But it spat it out.

Ah, I mind the time I tripped over in the dark at my own front door all over
a newly adopted stray dog. It bit off a part of my ear. It was Saturday
evening and I waited a long time in emergency with my severed ear in a clean
hanky, while the just smashed up drunks of several suburbs were brought in
for quick sewing up. The surgeon when he got to me was very cheerful and not
even very tried and kindly agreed to sew my ear back closer to the head.
The family considered whether the new dog, a gorgeous Afghan, should be Put
Down, and agreed that the foolish human who had tripped over it was more
deserving of removal. The Afghan became a treasured pet.
