Interview with the crew who took the refusal....
“That was a weird experience! The man was incensed we showed up. I thought his eyes would shoot out of their orbits and bite us!
“He wouldn’t let us in and he sure wasn’t happy we wanted a blood sugar and vitals. We thought we were done but when we told him he had to sign the refusal his eyes popped out even more and he disappeared inside for a few minutes before he came back out and signed. Then he slammed the door in our face, so he didn’t get his copy of the refusal. I just stuffed it in the mailbox there on the porch.”
“Was there anyone else there?”
“We asked him because there was a bang from inside and he about jumped out of his skin! He said it was the cat.”
“Hmm. What cat?”
