So, I've been in the hospital.
Last tuesday I had what I thought was a sore throat but,
by thursday I couldn't swallow my own spit or even talk or eat.
So, I sat on the coach for 2 hours waiting for one of my roomies to
help me to the clinic (one was in class the other was in her room sleeping).
Finally the good roomie comes home and I embark on a 24 journey through
the Baltimore Health Care system.
2 and a half hours waiting in the clinic,
2 doctors trying to open my mouth but, still thinking I could talk
10 pieces of paper for my only means of communicating to the fine nurses at
Maryland General
2 needles in the back of my throat trying to drain puss
1 iv
1 knife to cut open my tonsil to force drain the puss out
2 days talking like Helen Keller
1 strange Hispanic man BREAKING INTO MY HOSPITAL ROOM!
1 Herioine addict named Kris outside my room
and 12 hours in the Downtown Balimore ER........................Priceless.
