Professors are funny people. I’m talking on Zoom to a colleague in Florida and she says, “So, get this. I was in a car crash, and the paramedic who put me on the stretcher was a former student of mine! I asked him…”
“Wait,” I say. “You were in a car crash??”
“Oh yes,” she responds. “Broke my arm in five places. But this paramedic – he was actually my student back in 2011, and so I’m lying there on the stretcher, and all of a sudden, the paramedic says, hello, Professor B., and I say…”
“Wait!” I interrupt again. “What happened? Are you OK? How is your arm?”
“Oh, I just ran a red light, it was really stupid. The arm hurts terribly. But isn’t it cool that I would run into a former student like that? He did a Spanish minor, and I knew he was interested in the medical field…”
