Even the spiders have issues

Patient came in today with bandage on hand.
History of spider bite poisoning.
Where was this spider? On allegheny and d street of course. Because there are so many trees and ample grass there. Right.
Patient reports six surgeries (likely i@d or wound debridement), skin graft, and another plastic surgery needed to repair skin defect.
Best part of the story or worst part of the story was due to diabetes and pcn allergy, the hospital brought out the leeches to help with drainage.
Where do they store the leeches at the hospital??
Unfortunately whenever she returns to the hospital all the staff recognize her and greet her as "the leech lady".
