Feathered Patient Demands ER Service

Okay, so a pelican just tried to check itself into the ER. No appointment, no insurance, just pure avian audacity.

This isn’t a metaphor. An actual seabird, sporting a fishing hook as a new and unfortunate piercing, showed up at a German hospital. Its method? Aggressively pecking at the emergency room window. Talk about knowing your rights to urgent care.

The sheer nerve. Did it expect a co-pay? Demand to see a specialist in fishbone removal? The image of this feathered drama queen causing a scene at the admissions desk is everything.

We’re just waiting for the itemized bill to drop.
