So, my neighbor has been coming over to visit a lot lately, and today she knocked on my door with a bloody rag around her hand. She's really poor, and didn't have any bandages or anything, and she'd sliced her hand wide open on a can. I brought her upstairs and bandaged it as well as I could for her, but I really think she needs to go to the hospital and get stitches. When I told her that, she said she didn't have a car or a way of getting there. I offered to call work and tell them what was going on and drive her, but she said no. If she still hasn't gone by the time I get out of work at 6, I'm dragging her by the ear. And I'm stopping at walgreens on the way home and buying her antiseptics and bandages in case anything like this happens again. She said her friend who was at her house wasn't helping her or anything, just laughing at her. I just don't understand people sometimes.
