Odd story, I don't get how a turtle will understand where this clinic is, unless if had been born there. But i really loled when i read this comment:

I, for one, am sick of these freeloading turtles leeching off the health care system. Who actually pays for the medical care, anyways? That's right, the taxpayer. I'm not going to stand idly by while Obama and his turtle minions just continue to take, take, take from the system while demanding we working class people pay for it with our tax dollars. How did this turtle get sick anyways? Probably from engaging in promiscuous behaviour. I bet that turtle doesn't even speak English. WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP AMERICA?

Nice for a change in pace of news.

On topic, the turtle got the subsonic turtlevibes coming from the clinic.

I love marine's animal related posts. He's like the cutesy feel-good stories at the end of the news with the water-skiing squirrels. You're such a big pussy at heart. <3
