Dr. Kelsi decided she would go take a nap,
and then it all started with one mishap.

and Betsy who had been bitten (W53.01XA) while feeding her pet mouse.
Then the EMS came roaring in with poor Erika who had dislocated a knee, (S83.106A)

and hit Santa’s sleigh (V80.929A) as she was taking toys to kids who were down.

(M79.609) as she was struck (W22.8XXA) by a shopping cart in the mall (Y92.59)
gathering things to finish her popcorn chain.

when she burnt her hand (T23.009A) as she had been slaving in the kitchen all day.

as this day in Urgent Care had seemed like a snowball fight.
