"I have a problem with cyclists"

"I have a problem with cyclists, always slowing me down" - that's what the ER med tech told me as I was finally getting checked in to ER.

I had other things on my mind at the moment, but now after the emergency surgery, a day in ICU, a couple in the Trauma unit, and some recovery I can't help but wonder if that had something to do with having to sit in an empty ER lobby for half an hour, with a collapsed lung and internal bleeding. Since they already had X-rays and a diagnosis from an Urgent Care clinic, which they didn't even glance at, was it because their admissions techs "have a problem with cyclists"?

I dunno, maybe they simply didn't think it as urgent as the surgeons, nurses and doctors did. But after I'm recovered from all this, I'm going to call around to the local hospitals and find one that doesn't "have a problem with cyclists". Something to consider, that you probably never thought was necessary.
