He became a veteranarian and an expert on parasites. He and
Florence met when she staggered into his office bleeding
profusely.
Isn't that how all the best relationships start?

I don't know about that but I do know that my girlfriend's auto crash (another driver T-boned her) where she spent most of the evening with
an icepack on top of her head while lying with her head on my lap was
a critical moment in what eventually led to our marriage...she was a
"pretty sad puppy" that night.

Kimball Kinnison's romance with (and eventual marriage to) Clarrissa
Mae MacDougall started (and not very auspiciously) when he was one of
her patients in a trauma-care ward. This, despite Lacey's statement
that such things never happen.

IIRC, they had met before then (IIRC, in _Galactic Patrol_) and had made
an impression on each other.

In Chapter 17 of _Galactic Patrol_, yes. Its title is "Nothing Serious at All", and it takes place one chapter after "Kinnison Meets the Wheelmen". When he met the Wheelmen, he got shot up by a machine gun, fell tens of meters onto a pile of rubble. He made it to his speedster, and set its
course generally Tellus-ward.
Lacy and MacDougall went to the speeder, which was free, removed him
from it, and inerted him separately so as not to worsen the damage.
After getting him down to Tellus, they put him in a trauma-care ward.
Days or weeks later, when he regained consciousness was when he and MacDougall first met.
They certainly made impressions on each other. He called her a
"dumb-bell" and she called him a "brat".
But, this is what I was talking about. When they first met.
