Deer's HMO must have told it to come to office instead

Associated Press

CADIZ — The staff at Trigg County Hospital has posted a deer crossing sign after a stranger roamed the hallways early Monday morning. 

According to officials, a deer crashed through a plate glass window near the Medical Records Department at the hospital, roamed several halls and eventually found its way out through automatic doors near the emergency room. 

Dr. James Brazil was taking a break when he said he heard a bumping noise and peered out a lounge door to see the deer heading for the new wing of the hospital. 

The animal startled the staff at the nurses' desk as it ventured into one of the emergency rooms, causing minor damage. It finally activated the automatic doors of the emergency room entrance and left the hospital on its own four legs. 

The staff has since posted a deer crossing sign in that area of the hospital.
