Moose checks into hospital emergency room

Anchorage, Alaska - The emergency room at Alaska Regional Hospital has seen just about everything, but nobody was prepared for the patient who dropped in this morning.

It was about 6:30 a.m. and a young moose decided to check into the ER. The scene was caught on the hospital’s security camera.

Dr. Don Hudson was on duty at the time. The videotape shows him taking a quick look at the patient, then wisely going for a second opinion.

The moose spent more than a minute inside the emergency room, then quietly left the way it came in.

Alaska Regional says that, although the moose did not have insurance, they were prepared to give him a complete medical screening.

Too funny! :)

That was neat seeing the moose....what an odd place for him/her to walk in.

That is just too funny.

Reminds me of my mom's story about a moose at their back door. She opened the door to see who/what was there and screamed and slammed the door.

Great video but one question arises. Why did they not close the door after the moose left? Waiting for a replay :p :D

That is awesome! So funny! Only in Alaska would something that cool happen! Thanks for sharing it! I'm passing it along to everybody I know!

:D
