I have had several people ask me to tell them the identity of my contact at Eastside Hospital. I know that everyone cares a lot about Snaily the Snellville Snail (except people who call him a slug), but please stay calm.
Please do not call the hospital. They are busy helping human patients. Snaily is an important patient to them, but frankly, the staff is not trained or equipped to deal with snails. They are having a hard enough time remembering not to put the word "Emory" in front of the hospital name. Eastside is a state-of-the-art facility, and we're lucky that Snaily can be there at all, so please don't be shellfish.
The latest word is that Snaily is resting comfortably. He has gained enough mobility to slither up the the rim of the Jenkins toilet. I've also had people concerned about the cleanliness of the toilet. I have been assured that the toilet was in enough seasons of heat and sun on Street DeVille in Snellville, that's definitely sanitary enough for Snaily.
Now the challenge for Snaily will be raising money to pay his hospital bill. Overnight stays get pretty pricey, and Snellville has financial issues like most cities. It's unknown whether the City of Snellville will be able to help him.
Again, I will not disclose my source, but will refer to him now only as "Deep Soil." If there's one thing I reek of, it's journalistic integrity.
